A correspondent of Cardiff, Wales. , reports that great sand dunes extend for miles along the north court of the British Channel. These, in addition to Deing utterly wortniess for all pur poses, are also a menace to the narrow strip of lowlands between them and the hills. A company of business men have determined to put the sand to some use, and if their works prove profituble an Industry will be built up on the dunes. The plan Is to manu facture bricks from sand. The experi ment has proved a success on the conti nent where the bricks are produced in several colors and take a glaze satis factorily. Some experts claim that these bricks made of sand and lime will be the building brick of the future In Wales and the United Kingdom. Reform Needed. "Senator," asked the reporter, "is there likely to be any reform legislation in the near future?" "Ptobably not," answered the eminent talesman, "but the conviction is growing tint there ought to be a change in the form of administering the oath in courts of justice." "In what respect?" "Well, it is felt that a witness should be sworn merely to tell the truth and noth;ng but the truth. Telling the whole truth is not only unnecessary in most cas?s, but is sometimes highly injudicious." WASTED TO A SHADOW, But Found a Cure After Fifteen Years of Suffering. A. II.

Fallacy A boat Jewelera Jewelers, when watches are with them for repairs, are frequently insult ed with the remak : "I trust there Is no danger of orys- tals being substituted for the jwel la the works of my watch." For a great many persons think there are'' dishonest jewelers who make a practice, with "full-jeweled" watches, of substituting crystals for tbe'Jewets at an enormous profit As a matter of fact, there la no truth In this suspicion. A jeweler, no matter how dishonest, could not steal the jew els In a watch, for they are valueless; they only cost 10 cents apiece. In antique watches the jewels were often costly. In modern watches they are never worth more than $15 a gross.

The. roses drop from sin, but the thorns remain. God is working toward a perfect man in a perfect world. A criminal may escape from bis cell, but not from himself.

The simplest patriotism is the hard est to practice. He is a brave man who thinks new thoughts aloud. The godly man is he who acts divine ly to his fellows. .

White, a mission ary of the American Board In Marso van, western Turkey, Is the author of an article in the Hartford Seminary Record on "Present Day Sacrifice ia Asia Minor," in which he says: "Some time ago the writer was one of a summer excursion iarty which set out to visit a well-known iiool of. water tucked away in a beautiful nook high up among the Anatoliun mountains, and with a wide reputation for sanctity and healing powers. We arrived Just as the last of a flock of 300 sheep were being passed through a peculiar hole in the thin edge of a huge rock to deliver them from a disease of the liver sup posed to prevent the proper laying on of fat While we were lunching an other party arrived who proceeded to build a fire, kill a goat they bad brought and roast the meat, and after a little we were presented with some of tbe sacrificial meat and urged to join our new friends in the eating of it The leader was a redhead or Shlite Turk and was accompanied by his wife and a nominally (Christian) Armenian cattle-lifter. They did not Inform us of the object of their petition and in view of all the circumstances It would not have been good form to inquire, Tbe spot Is much frequented by young moth ers who wish to Induce an abundant flow of milk. That happens to be the only time that I have ever partaken of sacrificial food. "I once officiated at a wedding, how. ever, where the bride, but not tlie bride groom, was a Protestant When the wedding procession reached the door of tho new home the men passed in, but the women were halted at tlie outer gate while tlie throat of a sheep was cut on tlie threshold Just before the bride stepped across It, and some of tlie fresh, red blood was smeared on her wedding shoes. "Devout Armenians often eagerly contribute to a common fund, with which a sacrificial meal is provided for the poor, or for all who may hapien to be present The oriental trinity con sists of tbe fatlier, the son and the Virgin Mary, and, in a town known to the writer, at tlie feast of Bt Mary, they provide calves or sheep by a com mon contribution, adding to them.pom fifty loaves of bread. Tbe bread and meat are then distributed from tlie church door to the community poor. One yair recently the observance was omit ted, ns some lcgan to question its noed, but during the next .year thirty-five children from the homos of that com munity died, and when tlie feast of the Mother of God came round again tbe people rose en masse to resume the okl custom." m hi.. ..ii nun JJ .. ... -wii -.o,..,.W;..,.Wv.,,,.)r.'r'c: - vt;.i tmmml -h . miBa j?- Mi m :m m m , !7- 1. . , . , ft. 41 qiiaManjeaiiiiiiar I?: ;T r. . .j '-v. . , Wi'h'i i iiwi it lam-itfatfy 'f -i ".- I 4 "vl I Louisvine.

TheWinningtroke If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYR0P OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
