uniformity In the lnurance laws of
the various states of the union.
The conference was called to order
by Thomas Drake, superintendent of
Insurance of the District of Columbia,
who, with the approval of President
Roosevelt, originated the Ideu of hold
ing such a conference and sent out
Invitations to the various states and
territories. Governor Penecn and
did not hesitate long In making their
decision, which was almost unanim

hours combined with free beer. To

least doubt that the decision will be
In favor of free beer.

Although pure musk is not usually
relished by the delicate olfactories of
persons with cultivated sensibilities,
there Is no odor so extensively ueed In
the compounding of perfumes. It is
obtained from the musk deer, which
Inhabits the moutitalu ranges of Tibet.
This animal Is smaller than the deer
of this country, being about the size of
a calf. It is of a dark gray color and
has no bonis. The odor for which it is
valuable is a fluid secretion in a sac
on tho underside of Its body.
Tills Is exposed to the air and when
dry is sent to the market. When first
obtained It is about the consistency of
honey and has a bitter, pungent taste.
It Is used ns a medicine, but has more
value as a perfume. On account of the
persistency with which musk retains
Its odor It Is used as tbe groundwork
for other perfumes which are more
volatile. It is said that a single grain
of musk will perfume a" room for
twenty years.

mated that 8,000 parts of a substance
in itself devoid of odor will become
permeated with tbe scent with one
part of musk. It Is in consequence
very valuable, and as it is difficult to
procure on account of the almost Inac
cessible haunts of the musk deer It Is
quite expensive. Chemists have long
endeavored to procure an artificial

It Had Its Origin la Venice In tbe

About the year 1540 an unknown
Venetian lady first conceived the happy
Idea of carrying a "fuzzoletto," and it
was not loug before her example was
widely followed throughout Italy. The
handkerchief then crossed the Alps Into
France, where Its use was Immediately
adopted by the lords and ladies of
Henry II.'s court.
The handkerchief of that period was
an article of the greatest luxury. It
was made of the most costly fabrics
and was ornamented with the rarest
embroideries. In tbe reign of Henry
III. it began to be perfumed and re
ceived the name of "moucholr de Ve
nus." It was not until 1580 that the
haudkercblef made Its way Into Ger
many, and then its use was long con
fined to princes and persons of great
wealth. It was made the object of j
sumptuary laws, and an edict publish
ed at Dresden In 15y5 forbade Its nse
by the people at large.

nownQuaut
There are two classes ot remedies: those of known qua.
ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting
gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo,
rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. Une ot the most exceptional or
the remediesof known quality andexcellence is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fia Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor, it is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and o assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the
remedy has therefore met with their approval, as w ell as with
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience
:f' that it i5 a mnst p Yrellf nr la Y.iti v rpmedv. W'p rlo not rlaim that
it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really
represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. ,
There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed
' as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to otter
imitations of the

Leprosr.
From reliable statistics we draw the
conclusions that leprosy Is generally
contracted between the ages of fifteen
and twenty-five or that in a very large
number of nitlents the disease shows
Itself at about eighteen; that It develops
very slowly, bo that the patient does
not require much medical aid before
the disease has run four years; that the
majority of lepers die within five years
of their admission to the hospital, and
that the average length of life of a pa
tient after be has developed leprosy is
nine years. Pearson' Weekly.

WHAT A Sl'GAK FACTORY MEANS
Means Development and Distribution
of Money.
The sugar factory at this place
closed Its second campaign last
Monday after a most successful run
of nearly four months, says the Sugar
City (Idaho) Times. During the run
6000 tons of coal have gone up In
smoke, $75,000 has been paid out In
wages, the saccharine from 75.000
tons of beets has been extracted and
turned into sugar, and all the neigh
boring fields have been overflooded
with pulp which farmers have been
busy hauling away for feed.
Xow that the rush is over and peo
ple have time to take a breathing
spell, it might be well to consider
what all this really meuns. In the
first place. It represents about 5500
acres of land required for beet culture
last season. It means a distribution
to the farmers of J360.000, a part of
which they In turn have paid out for
farm help. In all the factory has paid
out for beets and labor not much less
than $500,000 since the last run. It
has furnished labor for many men
and brought money Into the commun
ity, made the land valuable and the
country more prosperous. It has
paved the way for new settlers, In
creased business Interests and devel
oped the country In general.
Everybody seems pleased with the
results of the experiment, and the
hope Is entertained .that the farmers
will become so Interested and ener
getic In the matter that the beet pro
duce will be doubled or become so
large that another factory will be
come a necessity.
