Bricks from Sana.
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."

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.

Odd ReMvloiia Rite Still Practiced
Among tbe Armenian Feaaanta.
The Rev. George E. 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."

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. Regular price, 50c per bottle.
