Many French tnmllles prefer It for table use to olive oil, and It Is much cheaper, too, the, the price being 55 to 82 cents a gallon, according to quality.

Native historians of Afghanistan as sert that the Inhabitants of their coun try are the lost tribes of Israel. Ac cording to these chroniclers, the Af ghans are descended from Afghana, who was the son of a certain Jeremiah, who was the son of Klnj Saul. The eastward removal of the seed of Af ghana is attributed to Nebuchadnezzar. The Price ot a Boy. (John Graham Brooks estimate that It costs about $25,000 to properly educate "middle-class" American boy.) What ia the cost of a good, strong boy, A boy we are proud to see, A youthful prize of Lincoln size Or a little Napoleon B., For a Henry Clay or a Frenkiin, say, Or a Burns or an Andrew Lang? And what must we bid for a Chinese kid With a mind like Li Hung Chang? What! twenty-five thousand to raise th lad? WpII that- ia a blow, for sure! If what you name is the price of fame Our son must remain obscure. Time was when lads, ere they fed on fads, Grew up till we called 'em great And marched corn-fed to a nation's head For a tenth of the sum you state. I rather thought that a boy home-taught n arhnnled In a modest way, If born with brains and for taking pains, Slight rise in the world some day ; And I dreamed, in truth, that a college youth With nothing-a-week or less Might still pull through (as I've seen them do) And race for the goal of success. Though boys there are who are worth the price, ' 0 I think it would wrench my eraW To pay so dear for a Harry Lehr And more for a Hurry Thaw; If you raise boys cheap that are worth 8 heap, Do you wonder the gods feel hurt When they educate at a princely rate The boys that are as cheap as dirt? Then what Is the use of a boy, say I, Brought up at the price of Brooks? Can you give him mind of a better kind In your costly ecole de luxe? And if not, say I, I can raise my son On a rational, frugal plan Where he'll get the best and can stand the test When he grows to the size of a man. Wallace Irwiu, in Life. l.'rrah Sherta nt Premium. The woman who had Just returned from nbrond, whore she hud visited some country towns, was telling of the comforts mid discomfort of the Euro pean country hotel.

Elmer Strlcklett, the "spit- ball" pitcher, had been listening a long wnile in a New York club to the boasting of a rival. "Well," he said, exhausted at last, "you are pretty good, Mike; but out In Mountain View there is a young fel low who can beat you. You'll hear from him next season. His specialty Is the slow ball. This young fellow has such a slow ball that, when he pitches It and sees that It is going to be hit, he can run after It and fetch It back again.' " . O Ina-ratltnda. "Women," remarked the young man with the sorry look, "are delusions and snares." "So?" queried the Innocent bystander. "Yea, verily," rejoined the y. m. "Not many moons ago I cut out cigars and lived on free lunch two weeks In order to blow myself on an opera and a sup per for a young woman. After supper I asked her to marry me, and what kind of an answer do you suppose she handed me?" "Give it up," rejoined the 1. b.

It was the closing hour of the long, weary trial. The courtroom was packed to suffocation to hear the venerable Judge's charge to the Jury. There was a minute's silence before he cleared his throat and began to speak. "Gentlemen of the Jury," he said In part, "In arriving at a verdict In this case vou must take the testimony of the witnesses for the defense Into consld eratlon and give thera full weight."

The General Demand of the Well-informed of the World fcas always been for a simple, pleasart and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physi clans could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial ia effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand vlth Its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the Call fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for Its remarkable success.

THE SOURCE OFJUX, DISEASE Threrv nart of the bodv Is deoendent on the blood for nourisliment and ( Strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system ia a state ol t purity and richness we are assured o? perfect and uninterrupted health; because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble i3 manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the diUerent skin affections Bhow that the blood is in a feverish and diseased concucion as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers ara the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula,. Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and poisond find their way into the blood in various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition avenues of bodilv waste, leaves the form uric and other acid3, which are taken up by the blood'and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming ia contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also brefithe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood ia sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Soma are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors i3 handed down to them and they ara constantly annoyed and troubled with it.
