Westernization of the Japs.
Kioto, Japan, formerly regarded as
the sacred city of the Mikado, is be
ing thoroughly westernized, having
adopted the overhead trolley and arc
and incandescent lighting. The power
for the operation of the street railway
is supplied by the waters of LakeBiwa,
which are utilized through the agency
of extensive canals, the plant being one
of the largest engineering projects com
pleted by native engineers.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the C alifornia F io S yrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the C alifornia F iq S yrup C o .
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the C ali
fornia F io S yrup C o . with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —

Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice Inspires
Confidence and Hope.
Examination by a male physician is
a hard trial to a delicately oiganized
woman.
She puts it off as long as she dare,
and is only driven to it by fear of caD-
cer, polypus, or some dreadful ill.
Most frequently such a woman leaves
a physician's office
where she has un
dergone a critical
examination with
an impression.more
or less, of discour
agement.
This condi
tion of the
mind destroys
the effect of
advice; and
she grows
worse rather
than better In consulting Mrs. Pink
ham no hesitation need be felt, the
story is told to a woman and is wholly
confidential. Mrs. Pinkham's address
is Lynn, Mass., she offers sick women
her advice without charge.
Her intimate knowledge of women's
troubles makes her letter of advice a
wellspring of hope, and her wide experi
ence and skill point the way to health.
" I suffered with ovarian trouble for
ceven years, and no doctor knew what
was the matter with me. I had spells
which would last for two days or more.

In order to further introduce ELASTIC STARCH (Flat Iron Brand),
the manufacturers. I. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., of Keokuk, Iowa, have
decided to GIVE AWAY a beautiful present with each package of

The lighting of the tombs in the in
terior of the pyramids and the outlin
ing of the tops of the pyramids with
arc lamps has brought home to West- 1
ern minds the fact that electricity is
rapidly being adopted in the far East
ern countries.
The Western Electri
cian in a recent issue states that electric
lighting, especially for household pur
poses, is rapidly progressing in Egypt.
It is offered at cheap rates, and is far |
preferable in the Egyptian climate to '
the very ordinary quality of gas sup
plied by the gas company at Cairo, 1
which has been granted a concession to
supply electric light. Only 'two trains
on the government railway are at pres
ent equipped with electric lights, but
other installations are proposed. The I
gas company mentioned has contracted
to light all Cairo by electricity in lieu
of gas, and it is confidently expected4
that Alexandria will soon adopt the
same method.

These rare pictures, four in number, by the renowned pastel artist,
R. LeRoy, of New York, have been chosen from the very choicest subjects
in his studio and are now offered for the first time to the public.
The pictures are accurately reproduced in all the colors used in the orig-
inals, and are pronounced by competent critics, works of art.
Pastel pictures are the correct thing for the home, nothing surpassing
th-m in beautv, richness of color and artistic merit.

Wonderful are the tales of travelers,
and the proof, remarks Youth’s Com

in question.
A tourist who had returned from a
t-ip to Seattle and Tacoma was describ
ing to his Eastern friends the glories of
that region, its marvelous climate, and
the rapid strides its people are making
in the arts and sciences of civilization.
"I tell you,” he said, “they are

“I have heard,” said a sarcastic

“that the fish out there can sing.”
“Well, they do have a kind of Puget
