Table Mustard.
Common, ordinary, every day tabls
mustard obtained Its name In a remark
ably curious way. It Is said that rhlllp,
Duke of Burgundy, granted to DIJoa
Fome armorial bearings on which was
the motto, "Moult me tarde."
This was later carved In a stone arch
way of the city, but as tho years went
by he ceutral word became effaced. A
certain Arm In the city was engaged
In the manufacture of lntipl. which
was the former name for mustard, and,
wishing to label Its products with tho
city arms, copied the Incomplete motto.
Thus, Ignorant people seeing the
name "moult-tardc" on the Jar, fell
Into the custom of calling the content
by that title. In time "moult tarde"
was contracted to moutarde (mustard).

to arrange its preliminaries and tht
house an hour. Tho senate receivex.
from President Itoosevelt a long lint ol
RMintmetits for its confirmation, an.:
in executive session of 19 minutes de
fiiled, a the iiominations had been re
ceived before the body bad be-n organ
izol formally, to make no continuations
until the president's annual message
had Ix-en received and the seesion fair
ly started.
Henators I'enrose, of Pennsylvania,
and Furiiker, of Ohio, came forward
with resolutions of inquiry regarding
the discharge of the negro troops of the
Twenty-lit fh infant ty. One was ad
dressed to the president and the other
to the secretary of war. After ttie rip
ple of surprise hud pushed and Viet
President Fuirlmnks laid suggi-sted that
it was unusual to transact any husituss
until tho uresident's mcrSige had been
received, the resolutions went over by
unanimous consent. Senator Ihipont,
of Delaware, took the oath of office.
The opening of the two houses was
witnessed by an animated throng,
which filled the gallunea to their ca
pacity. Hundreds went away disap
pointed in not gaining admission to
witness the session of either senate or
house.
Not in years have a larger number of
I members-elect of the lower house of
congress presented themselves at the
speaker's desk to take the oath of ofliee.
Death bus been unusually active among
the tnemliership during theclosingdays
of the hist session and the beginning of
the present, and Chaplain Couden feel
ingly culled the intention of the IkhIj

the months since adjournment.
After the appointment of the usual
Committee to wait upon the president
and inform him that the house was or
ganized and ready to receive any com
munication be might desire to make ol
interest to the public service, the house
adjourned out of respect to the memory
of the deeeasi-d members. The presi-
lent's message will lie received both in
the house and senate today. No billA

Tlu re 1h a prayerful hope that no war
will pi mi, but. if it sliould come, the
strong probabilities are that the pessi
mists, and they seem to abound in
every section of the land, will find that ,
they have looked upon the prospect w ith
blue glasses.
Congressmen have come Into Wash

them seem burdened with the lielief

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health
and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor
life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and
the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health
should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of
every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a
remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence
should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial
in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor m
many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and
excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be
cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained,
by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici
ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Calif ornian
blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem
edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who ; do not
approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Vmw to rpmpmber and teach vour children also that the Genuine Syrup
of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in
bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty
cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not
accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.
Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial
for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
