weak all the time.
They are likely to be despondent
and it is not unusual to find them

The fact is their kidneys are

With many millions of families Syrup of Figs has become the
ideal home laxative. The combination is a simple and wholesome
one, and the method of manufacture by the California Fig Syrup
Company ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product,
which have commended it; to the favorable consideration of the '
most eminent physicians and to the intelligent appreciation of all ;
who are well informed in reference to medicinal agents. ,
. Syrup of Figs has truly a laxative effect and acts gently with
out in any way disturbing the natural functions and with perfect
freedom from any unpleasant after effects. -
In the process of manufacturing, figs are used, as'they are

nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

In 1891 the first coupons were Issued
for the building of the Trans-Siberian
railway. In December. 1892, the work
was begun. A highway was to be push
ed from St Petersburg to the Pacific, a
band of steel 5,852 miles long, binding
the extremities of the empire and over
Its polished track affording an unrival
ed route for the commingling of east
and west and of their measureless
products. From- Paris to Vladivostock
the journey by passenger and traffic
was to be made in twelve days, and
later on in ten. From Paris to Pekin In
thirteen days, to Hong Kong In seven
teen days, diminishing the expense in
money and in time by a third or a
half. . - ' "-"
This railroad was to be financiered,
constructed and administered, not by
private enterprise, but by the State.
Hence its object was not by financial
returns to swell the revenues of giant.
corporations or Individual capitalists.
The profit and loss account on its pe
cuniary side was a minor considera
tion. Its single design and aim was to
strengthen and develop the Russian em
pire, the dominion of the east, the mas
tery of Asia. .
As the strategic position of Russia
over against Asia Is unique, so is this
railroad unique in Its possibilities.
Whatever acquisitions Great Britain or
Germany now hold, or may hereafter
obtain on the Asiatic contingent, those
possessions are remote by thousands of
miles from theft base, and their effi
ciency depends upon a difficult and pre
carious connection through those thou
sand miles of sea and land. Nor can
those possessions be brought into much
more intimate relations with each other
and with the home empire than they al
ready are. That Is, for Great Britain
or Germany or any other power to de
vise a political or strategic rival to the
Trans-Siberian railway, is an titter im
possibility. It remains and must re
main the most stupendous agent in de
termining the destiny of the globe that
has yet been conceived by man. It is
to be maintained, as it was first orig
inated, under the most favorable geo
graphic circumstances which a State
has ever enjoyed. . .: " ' --
There is no assertion here that as an
achievement of engineering skill this
railway surpasses or even equals a
trans-American railroad from New
York to San Francisco, or a trans-Afri
can railroad from Alexandria to the
Cape. Ylewed merely as a railroad, it
may in every' respect be inferior to
either; its trains may be less commodi
ous or less luxurious, its locomotives
less powerful or less swift, Its technical
management less efficient or less sa
gacious; but, regarding . simply - geor
graphic position, having in mind only
where it runs, what it connects .and
what it must inevitably effect, nowhere
can experience or imagination suggest
a rival. The" "nearest approach to rival
ry, would be' afforded by some line
crossing China from west to east But
the western terminus of such a line
would of necessity be close upon Rus
sian Siberia or Russian Turkestan; It
would traverse only a moribund or dis
integrating Asiatic State; and what
ever might be the governing board of
its .construction and administration, it
would Indirectly, if not directly, be sub

The firemen t were at work in' the rear
of the building, and there was no time
to go after a ladder. V
A leap to the ground below seemed
almost certain death. The man, how
ever, in spite of his position, was the
coolest person in sight ;
"Take off your coats," he shouted,
"and make a pile of them on the side
walk! I'll jump down on them." --
It was done In an Instant A hundred
men jerked off their coats and threw
them on the walk beneath the window,
the man meanwhile having climbed out
and bung by his hands from the ledge,
He dropped, alighted on the center of
the pile, and escaped without injury,
the crowd cheering him lustily for his
pluck and generalship. .. .
It only remains to add that it took
some time for the owners of the respec

property, and the last man found only
a ragged remnant of a garment in place
of the fine new tailor-made article he
had contributed to the heap; but this,

k TRYING OCCCPATION FOR WOMEN
WITH DELICATE NERVES.
Tne Bard 'Work Entailed by the Chsrsja
. of a School Room Often Causes
tbe Health to Break Down.
' From the Tribune. MinneapolU, Minn.
Teaching school is an occupation
which has many attractions for cul
tured women, but it also has many
drawbacks and often affects their
health seriously. Especially is this
so in the case of women with delicate
nervors systems and those with a ten
dency to pulmonary troubles. Miss
Mary K. .Powers, ol Jillswortn, wis.,
is a teacher whose health was broken
down by the hard work which the
charge of a large school entails. She
savs: ' - '
'During the winter of 1898, while
teaching school, I became subject to
nervousness, which grew worse until
my whole system was run down. My
back ached and at times I was so
dizzy that I could hardly stand. My
limbs were swol.en and always tired,
so that I felt no more rested in the
morning than when I went to bed. I
was also troubled with a cough and the
food I ate did not strengthen me.
This condition, accompanied by pal
pation of the heart, kept up for sev
eral months until in March, when I
read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People in a Juneau, Wiscon
sin, newspaper.
I began taking the pills and in
about a week I noticed a change for
the better. I felt so encouraged by
this improvement that I kept on tak
ing them until 1 had used three boxes,
and was entirely cured. I always
keep Pink Pills by me ' and I take
them occasionally when I feel the
need of a tonic.
"I believe firmly in the good done
by Pink Pills for - Pale People and
have advised many of my friends to
use them."

new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves kare con
