Cm J V P An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy. Syrup op Figs, manufactured by the California-Fig Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from very objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. In order to get its beneficial ffects and to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FRANCISCO. CAL.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Various Items of Interest Concern. lag Blatters ia Parlor and Pantry. In rugs versus ' carpets, rugs con tinue to grow in favor from aspect. sanitary, economic ana aesthetic. A carpet held in place by heavy book cases, cabinets, sideboards and so iortn cannot be taken up and shaken at vill and dust and microbes of various sorts find lodgment when undisturbed for half a year or more. Rugs can be fre quently rempvtd-and shaken and the floor wiped clean underneath. A car pet grows shabby ar.d. loses its value. A rug of the, genuine Persian or Turkish gains in value and richness with the years. It is frequently difficult to find a carpet which harmonizes with, the furniture already on hand, the paper and woodwork. The coloring of most oriental rugs is' so beautiful and mel low that no discordant note is struck, and it is always a pleasure and an edu cation to look at it. Oysterpieisnowseasonableand a dish much to be commended. It may be baked in a large pudding1 dish or in in dividual patties asxlesired. If in a large dish that holds three pints, line the sides of the dish with puff paste or a rich crust, and put in a quart of oys ters, layer by layer, seasoning each one with a teaspoonful of salt, half a tea spoonful of pepper, and an even table spoonful of butter cut in bits. Cover with a crust, leaving an opening in the center, and bake. In the meantime, make a good smooth, white sauce, by melting one tablespobnful of butter in a small frying pan, adding to it a tablespoonful of flour, cooking until it bubbles, then adding the strained oys ter liquor and a half cupful of water. Cook until it thickens, then udd. a little white pepper and a cupful of cream or milk. When the pie is nearly done raise the crust from the side or insert a funnel in the center, vent and pour in as much of the same as the pie will hold. .Return to the oven and bake ten or fif teen minutes longer and serve. While the California prune does n-ot make as rich a sauce as the French, it is cleaner and cheaper. Wash carefully one by one in tepid water, allowing the prunes to stan in the water for two or three minutes to plump. Wash again and put in a saucepan, allowing to every 1 cupful of prunes a cupful and a half of cold water. These simmered not boiled f rom two to two and- half hours without sugar, will emerge lustrous, tender, sweet and with the real prune flavor, totally at variance with the much-derided prune of boarding-house celebrity. "Potatoes a la Duchesse" live up to the elegance of their name and are much in favor. Take cold, well-sea-Loned inashc-d potatoes and form ir.tc biscuit-shaped cakes using a little flour to form them, but mixing- none with the potato. ' Arrange the cakes on 'a buttered pie plate, brush over with a beaten egg and, bake a delicate brown in a hot oven. When space is a desideratum in a' pantry, a groove should be made at the back cf one of the lo-wer shelves, so that the platters can stand up. Hooks .screwed ir.to the bottom of the shelf above where the cups and saucers are to be kept will permit the hanging of all cups that have handles. If grease is filled: upon the kitchen floor do not pour hot water upon it, but .cover the spot with a strong solution of unslackcd lime and sal soda dissolved in cold water, and scrub vigorously with a clean scrubbing brush.- After mixing a wedding cr an3' rich fruit cake, allow it to staud three days in the refrigerator before baking.
