An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Stbup of Flos, 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, clean sinfr the system effectually,
dispelling: colds, headaches and fevers
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

a f o x:a.ii.j v- "
rmvtnsr received the ap-
TmiTitmpnt as commisloner of the
Royal Manufacturies of the Gobelins,
of Sevres, and of the Savonnerle, found
that the turbulent times of the revolu
tion had so discouraged the Industrial
arts that the skilled workmen of these
places were reduced to starvation,
while the store rooms were filled with
the choicest productions of their art.
This condition gave him the idea of
holding an exhibition where tapestries,
china and carpets could be gathered
together and a great sale held.
The then unused chateau of St. Cloud
was taken for this purpose, but on the
day of the opening a decree of the di
rectory banishing the nobility was is
sued, and he was compelled to quit
France, and return the following year,
and, on the failure of his first attempt,
originate another exhibition, which
nrnvpA verv successful. This was held
at the Chateau de Orsay, where the
bouse and grounds were fllle'd with
beautiful and useful stuffs and wares
of all varieties.
The success of this undertaking
caused the government to take np the
SOME GREAT EXPOSITION
idea, and the first official exposition
was held en the Champ de Mars, where
a "Temple of Industry" had been erect
ed for the purpose. At this exposition
was Inaugurated the jury system of
awards. So successful did it prove that
EXHIBITION, FLORENCE, 1861.
the government resolved to hold an
nual exhibitions of like character, but
the disturbed condition of the country
prevented a repetition until the year
1801. The third exposition, held In
1802, saw the origination of the Soclete
d'Kncouragement, which has. been a
powerful aid to French manufacture.
On this occasion there were 600 prize
competitors.'' It was at this exposition
that cotton lace and silk thread were
first shown and a prize was awarded
for the manufactures of Iron. by means
of coke. ' - '
No further efforts were successful un
til in 1819, when another exposition
was held, after .which those of 1823
and 1827 occurred with- varying suc
cess. In 1844 the tenth and last expo
sition during the. reign of Louis Phil
ippe saw 3,800 exhibitors participating.
Another exposition on a grand scale
was that of 1849. Nearly 5,000 exhib
itors were represented and 3,738 prizes
were awarded. The exhibition contin
ued for sixty days, and its results were
so beneficial that other nations began
to realize its importance to trade. )
Three other countries had previously
given expositions of a more or less local
nature. Such were those that had been
held In Russia, Denmark, and Aus
tria, and many of great . Importance
bad been held in Belgium. ' ;
In the British dominions expositions
had been held both In Manchester and
Leeds, and one in Dublin as early as
1827. It remained for England to pro
mote the first actual International in
dustrial exposition that of 1851. At
the first meeting of the. commissioners
it was decided to rely wnolly upon vol
untary contributions, and when an ap
peal was made a fund of $1,500,000
was soon raised. One single contribu
tor headed the list with the large
amount of $250,000. Designs for the
building were submitted by architects
of all nations. A plan suggested by
Sir Joseph Paxton was the one chosen,
buttoMr.Fox.of the firm of Fox &Hen
derson, Is due the credit of having orig
inated that new style of architecture
which was afterward dubbed the "Fer
ro Vitreous" style, he having worked
out and made possible Sir Joseph's
suggestion. Thus originated the first
DUBLIN EXHIBITION, 1853.
"Crystal Palace." The total cost of the
building was $850,000. This show
proved a success. Before the opening
$200,000 had already been received fer
season tickets, and - during the six
months it remained open tbe average
aumber of daily visitors was 43,536.

At its close there remained a balance
of $750,000 above all expenses.
The year 1853 saw two Crystal Pal
ace shows in operation. That of New
York was organized by a few influen
tial citizens of wealth as a stock com
pany, with the end in view of bringing
the manufactured goods of the Old
World here to be placed in comparison
with those of the New. The other
show of the year was that held in Dub
lin. This, too, while very successful
as an exhibition, did not attract the
international Interest" it merited, nor
did it in a financial way prove a suc
cess. ....
The next great exposition-jn-as that
of Paris, held in 1855. Preparations
for this exposition were begun as early
as 1853, but up to February, 1854, little
progress had been made. So slow did
the work progress that the exposi
tion, which was to have opened on the
1st of May, was delayed until the 15th
of that month. The main building, the
the Palais de l'lndustrle, was not built
as a temporary structure, as such
buildings had previously been, but was
Intended to remain as a permanent
building for exposition purposes. In
BU1LD1NQS OF THE PAST.
all, the floor space of this great exposi
tion reached the total of twenty-nine
acres. The exhibitors numbered some
21,000, of which number France con
tributed one-half. This exposition
which differed from all previous ones
tn the great variety of Its objects and
extent of productions, was closed tn
person by the Emperor with great
pomp and ceremony on Nov. 15, 1855.
In 1857 Manchester held her "Fine
Art and Manufactures Exhibition."
Here, in a . fireproof building, with
a floor space, Including galleries,
of 171,000 square feet, was gathered'
one. of the most remarkable collections
of art works that had ever reposed
under one roof. Tn 1861 United Italy
held an exhibition of some importance
at Florence, the displays of which
were classified under the heads indus
trial, fine arts, agricultural and horti
cultural. . . ;?
The next exposition of universal in
terest was that held tn London, "The
Exhibition of Art Works of All Na
tions," of 1862.' The total area under
roof was 988,000 square feet, a greater
space than that occupied by any pre
vious exposition. The total cost was
$2,150,000, or about $2.18 per square
foot of floor space. This exposition,
while it may be-said "played even,"
was not a great success financially.
- The year 1867 saw the "Universal Ex
position of Paris." It being the design
to make It universal tn the scope of the
articles displayed, as well as the na
tions participating, an invitation was
extended to the workers of the world,
and formal invitations were issued to
the foreign governments. The roofed
area was thirty-six and three-tenths
acres.' The exhibits were so arranged
that each nation occupied a separate
and distinct division. The exposition
was formally opened on the 1st of
April, 1867, with the most gorgeous
ceremony. The American exhibit was
by far the finest we had ever made
abroad, the war of the rebellion having
Interfered with any pretentious display
being made in London in 1S62. It is
estimated that the total number of vis
itors to this great show exceeded 4,
000,000. The total cost of the buildings
was $2,356,605. or $143 per square foot
covered. It closed with a net profit of
$562,654, dividends being declared of
$553,200. Tbe remaining amount was
devoted to public works.
. Expositions were held in . Moscow
and Copenhagen In 1872, but were more
national In character, confined as they
were to the products of the country
In which they were held.
X decree issued by the Austrian Em
peror, May 24, 1870, announced that
"under the august patronage of his Im
perial and royal majesty, the Em
peror, an International exhibition
would be held in Vienna In 1873." To
this end an appropriation by the gov
ernment of $3,000,000 was made, and
later, as the work progressed, an addi
tional appropriation of v31000t000 more
- .
was found necessary. Universal Inters
est was shown in this great undertake
lng, the foreign governments selecting
from among tbelr most eminent men
their representative commissioners. An
idea of the magnitude of this great
show may be gleaned from the fact
that there were in all 2,602 awards
made, the total number of exhibitors
being about 7,000, The total cost of
buildings and accessories was $7,850,
000. Receipts from visitors, $1,2S3,
648.78. This with the additions to rev
enue from concessions and sale of
buildings, was far from enough to
cover the great expense Incurred, the
deficit being met by the government.
The Centennial International Exposi
tion of Philadelphia, in 1876, which
gave such an impetus to art in Amer
ica, as well as all succeeding exposi
tions at home and abroad, is remem
bered too well by all to come within
the scope of this article.
Walrus Whiskers.
"Of all the curious articdes of com
merce that you have ever mentioned in
print I have never seen one more
strange than a 'line' I regularly send
to China, to the Brazils, and In very
large quantities to Russia."
The speaker was a "fore.Ign mer
chant," and he was addressing a con
tributor who has made a specialty of
paragraphs dealing with out-of-the-
way occupations.
"The article I refer to are toothpicks
that are made from walrus whiskers.
Vast quantities of the stiff, thick whis
kers of the wa'.rus are shipped, from
Alaska chiefly, to myself, and to some
others in Eug'and.t, Those who send
them pull them out one by one with
special tweezers, and after the whis
kers have been trimmed and stiffened
here they are made up into bund.es and
sent abroad.
"The higher class Chinese seem to
use no other kind of toothpicks, and
the more wealthy of the Russians al
ways use them at their clubs and ho
tels. I send out some thousands of
bundle yearly, and though to the buy
er, they are much' dearer, ns well as
more ornamental, they leave plenty of
profit to the dealer. They have begun
to creep Into strong favor at West End
clubs, and last year I executed some
scores of English orders."
Protected Spiders.
At the Royal Observatory at Green
wich the visitor may peer Into a tube
of a veteran telescope twenty-five feet
long,, much In use some 175 years ago,
but now inhabited by several colonies
of spiders. These creatures find such
irresistible attraction in its roominess,
coolness and darkness that, when some
years since an assistant endeavored to
bring about their removal by the cus
tomary methods, they sturdily refused
to move.. Eviction falling, the astron
omers made the spiders pay for their
lodgings in the form of goods supplied.
For years an extremely fine fabric bad
been wanted to stretch across the eye
pieces of telescopes devoted to transit
reading. One day a scientific eye light
ed on the spiders. The day following
they were raided, and now they live
and weave under official protection.

A Nice Distinction.
The other patrons of a fashionable
restaurant felt sure the two at the cor
ner table were father and son and were
from the rural districts. Their table
manners were such that any polite-jury
would have brought in a verdict of
justifiable homicide had the head wait
er fallen upon tbe two as they sat side
by side at the little table, whose snowy
cloth they were sadly disfiguring.' Vig
orously they wielded knife and fork
very little fork; but much knife. At
last the way in which the son spread
his elbows Interfered with the free play
of the father and brought about a loud
rebuke from the old man.
"Look a-here, Jefferson," said the fa
ther, sternly, "draw In them elbows
and eat in a narrer circle. Ain't your
mar ever told you it warn't polite to
shove others with your elbows when
you dine out It's powerful bad man
ners, to make your old father cut hi
mouth at the table."

What It Maaut.
In One of the anhnrha of . Philaiiat.
' phia there is a sohool principal who is
la very kindly man. He is noted par
ticularly lor his love of animals, and
he never negleots an opportunity to
lecture his young charges on bis pet
hobby.
The other day he told them all about
vivisection and how, inv the name of
science, it entailed untold suffering
upon dumb animals. At the end of his
discussion, in order to malte sure that
his words had been fully understood,
be asked:

SKAFNKSS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, at they cannot reach tha
diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that ia by constitu
tional remedies. , Deafness ia caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of tha
Eustachian Tube. When this tuba gels in-,
flamed you have a rumbling; aeund or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out ot tea are caused' b
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deainessfcauaed by catarrh) that can
