lpjigf An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the Caxifounia Fig Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining- the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting1 them in the form most refreshing1 to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing' the system effectually, dispelling1 colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every 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 effects and to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. BAN FRANCISCO.

It I Seventy Fee Long and to B Sunk in Shaft of Equal Length. With as little sign of excitement as if it -were only a tenncent toy, there is being1 placed in the ground by Col. Knight, of Harestock, Winchester, Eng land, a giant thermometer, that is to be used to measure the earth's temper ature. The thermometer is 70 feet long, and the work of merely placing it in position has occupied a corps of work men for a long- time. First a shaft was sunk 70 feet into the ground anl then a scaffolding was erected over the shaft, to render the l.andliDg of the great thermometereasy. The scaffolding was higher than the thermometer, which had to be hoisteil tc the perpendicular by.meanscf steam cranes and then dropped gently into tie 70-foot shaft. Wihen it is in place tli3s unique ther mometer will register the temperature of mother enrth.70 feet below the sur face, recording exactly all her moods, and giving scientists an opportunity to bfcome more closely acquainted with the underground mysteries of the globe on which we live. The giant thermometer is made in ec-ocrd-ance with the principles that gov ern the small instruments in everyday use. " In constructing it many difficul ties had to be overcome, oh account of its great eize. In Col. Knight's thermorne-ter it was not possible to use any but an arbitrary scale. It is not supposedthat there will be any comparable readings necessary with this giant instrument. Careful ob servations will be made, however, and the result recorded on the instrument so that the big thermometer can be read, if possible, in acoordancc with the scale of smaller instruments. In making scales for the latter, the bulb is frozen and the freezing point recorded on the scale. It is then boiled and the boiling point marked on the tube. The remaining points are filled in by dividing up the scale into sec tions. This simple plan was. the basis of the scale adopted for the 70-for-t thermometer, although this scale :uay lje subject to variations when" the great iustrument is in working ore'er. The largest thermometer ever made previous to the one constructed by Cel. Knight w-as constructed by Forbes, who l.uilt one measurirg rcarly 40 feet in length. This was considered a great necompii?.h-ment, and the Fcrbes ther mometer became one of the curiosities . of science. With the new thermometer the tem perature cf the earth can be taken at twice the depth it has been possible to take it heretofore, and the records ob tained are expected to prove of un usual value to science. N. Y. Herald. BENEVOLENCE IN ANIMALS Instances Which Illustrate This Qual ity as ISxistlns in Domesti cated Quadrupeds. We have seen a small pig, stuck in a paling through which it had tried to squeeze, assisted by an elder one inside. Attracted by its cries, it took the small pig's head in its mouth and tried to pull it through, in doing which it almost pulled the sufferer's head off. In anoth er case a cat deliberately fetched its owner to assist ano'her cat which was lying helpless in a fit. Moreover, do mesticated animals are to some extent ''progressive," and have realized the no tion of common good among other crea tures than their own stock, says the London Spectator. There is a good deal of service and benevolence among very different do mesticated animals, especially in the form of protection, sharing of food and forbearance. Specialized instances in which dogs or cats have taken food to others could doubtless be authenti cated, though the writer ha.' not wit nessed a case. But there is-the strangest nf all evidence that they have a tend ency to perform tihese and other serv ices to other animals, because the do mesticated creatures voluntarily offer these services of benevolence to man. How can anyone doubt that animals (in domestication) are willing to feed each other, when there are cats all over Eng land and Scotland which delight in bringing food a"s- presents to their own ers? We need not go back to the his toric cat which caugfht a pigeon every day and brought it to its, master when a prisoner in the tower. He Wa "Next."
