THE EXCELLENCE OF SYEUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
4o the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by- scientific processes
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
11 the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
toy the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assise one in avoiding- the worthless
Imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The hig-li standing of the Cali
fornia Fri Sykup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
towels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

A HOSPITAL REMINISCENCE.
It Turned Oat That Corp. Finn Wai
Kot So Dead as He Wa
Supposed to Be.
"There was a case of sickness came
under-my care," says Dr. Doherty,-in
Cemorest's Magazine, "that had a very
bright ending. It was that cf Corporal
Finn, of the Xinth Massachusetts. He
had been reported dead and buried in
Santiago, but, as a matter of fact, he
was alive at Montauk and doing well in
the hands of one of my associates.
"I was in my tent one afternoon when
a young man' came forward politely
and asked me if I could give him the de
tails of his brother's death; the name,
he said, was Corporal Finn.
" Why, said I, 'Corporal Finn is not
dead at all.'
"'I beg. your pardon,' he answered,
'but Corporal Finn, certainly is dead.
I simply wish to get the facts about
him for our family.
" 'I don't see how he can be dead,"
said I, 'when I saw him drinking a bot
tle of ginger ale not half an hour ago.'
.''That could not have been my
brother, madam, for my brother died
at Santiago. The newspapers printed
it.'
" 'Come with me, and you can judge
for yourself, I said, and led him to my
ward.
"And we had hardly passed into the
tent when a voice called out: 'Hello,
Jack,' and there was the corporal sit
ting bp against his pillow, as pleased as
could be to see his brother. And the
brother promptly fainted away. We
had a lively time with him for an hour
or so, but it was all right finally, and
in a couple of days they started home
together." .
A MEDDLING PHONOGRAPH.
How the Jioly Machine Spoiled
Profitable Sale tor a. Phila
delphia Jeweler.
The board of health is the recipient
of many queer complaints, but the one
it received the other day from a dis
gusted and nervously prostrated jew
eler of Eighth street is entitled to
prominence in a class by itself , says the
Philadelphia Record.
It seems that the jewelry store is lo
cated next door to a phonograph estab
lishment that has for the purpose of at
tracting passers-by a phonograph go
ing all day long. All kinds of tunes and
alleged witty sayings are squeaked
forth from early in the morning until
late at night in peculiarly penetrating
and nerve destroying tones. At first
the machine efforts at wit amused the
jeweler, and he used to laugh heartily
at the comicalities, but these were re
peated with such deadly persistence
that- they began to pall, and from be
ing amused the tradesman grew into a
negative desperado.
One day the climax was reached when
customer, who looked like "ready
money, came in to buy a diamond ring.
For some reason the machine next door
was quiet for awhile, and the "jeweler
was just on the point of closing a high
ly profitable sale when the shrill voice
of the phonograph began to sing "Get
our Money's Worth." The amazed
customer hesitated, and finally told the
jeweler he would call another day. This
incident was the last straw, and the
board of health will look into the mat
ter.
OUR PRESIDENTS.
The Outlay on Oar Chief Executive la
Much Lei Than That in
Any Other Nation.
Itcosts the people of the United States '
$114,865 a year fcj: a chief executive.
His salary is $50,000 and "found," as
cur western neighbors say. The presi
dent's finding is rather comprehensive,
covering about every possible require
ment of a family.- His private secre
tary, the clerks, doorkeepers, messen
gers and steward and three other serv
ants cost us $33,865 a year. Tien mere
is a contingent fund of $8,000 a year
which the president may use according
to his discretion.
In furniture and repairs to the white
house the sum of $16,000 more, to be.
used by the direction of the president,
is provided by the nation, and is always
expended. For fuel alone $3,000 is al
lowed, and for necessary repairs to the
greenhouse there is $4,000,
Altogether the presidential "rinding"
annually amounts to the snug sum of
$!U,865, nearly $15,000 a year more than
Lis salary.. The two aggregate $114.
8C5. This is an imposing aggregate,
but it is small compared with other
presidents. The presidentof the French
republic receives as salary $120,000 a
year, $32430 for contingent purposes
and a handsome house, rent free. So we
get our president rather cheaply, aft
er all.

A story of Lord Kussell of Ivillowen,

shows how risky a thing it may be,
after all, for a prisoner to speak in his
own defense. One such, who seemed
to be really making out his innocence.
the lord chief justice, who had missed
a mumbled word, interrupted witn the
question: "What did you say? what
was your last- sentence? Inree
months, my lord," said the crestfallen
prisoner-pleader. It is hardly neces
sary to add'that the lord chief justice
forgot his admission, or remembered
it only in the prisoner's favor, when
that particular sentence had to be
passed. - L

The German army dogs are so trained

set up a prolonged howling.. If no one
comes they take the dead man's cap or

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con

flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
