A teacher in the sixth grade of one of our city schools finds tiiue, now and then, in spite of the ten thousand and one things unknown to the school- ma'am of your youth which the modern teacher is expected to teach, to give her pupils a talk on current history. Re cently she told them one day some in teresting things about Queen Victoria and her family. Portraits cut fiom various magazines illustrated the talk. Among them was a picture of the Duke of York. The teacher held it up. No body in the class could tell her who it was. “Well,” said she at last. “I will tell you who this gentleman is. He is the Duke of York. And now cau any one tell me what he is?” Quick as a flash the hand of a little girl in the second row went up. “1 can tell what he is. Miss Blank,” she said, proudly. “He’s the hear consumptive to the British throne.” A Mere Formality. “Do you know that in Russia a man doesn’t become of age until he is 26 years old?” “Yes, and as far as his citizenship is concerned it doesn’t do him muoh good to become of age even then.”—Cleve land Leader. < > ■ Salt Rheum, Hands Would Crack Open < ► < > < > “1 cannot say too much in praise of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as it has worked wonders in mv case.

Naval Strength. < > < • < > < > ♦ < > If it could be assumed that in all of the great international problems we should find ourselves standing shoulder to shoulder with Great Britain, a relatively small enlargement of these points of naval strength would be all that would be required on our part; but when it is taken into account that only two years ago we were on what many believed to be the verge of declaring war against England, it may not be safe to rest altogether on the assump tion of an Anglo-Saxon alliance, and if we are to fill the role of a world power we must be prepared to man fully face the best of them, and this best, in naval strength and efficiency, is unquestionably Great Britain.

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 ig 8 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 ig 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 ig S yrup Co. 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.

Detroit used to have a lawyer who shrewd enough to show contempt of court without incurring danger of the penalty that would have been visited upon an offender less diplo matic. He was at one time living heard in an important matter before the Su preme Court, and made an assertion which elicited from one of the judges: “That Is not the law, sir.” “Pardon me, your honor,” with a deferential l>ow, “it was the law until a minute ago. Now we accept a new principle established by a supreme au thority.” On another occasion he was reading from an imposing looking book in sup port of a position that he had taken upon a legal question. “Just a moment,” Interrupted the supreme justice himself, “do you mean to say that you are reading good law?” “Not at all, your honor; only Supreme Court decisions.” The mast cutting thing he ever said to this same court was during the con sideration of a desi>erate case in which he had not a leg to stand on. He made a bold contention which was fallacious but plausible from lieglnning to end. "Blank,” said the court, severely, “I would not try to convert the average justice of the peace with such an ar gument ns that.” “Nor I,” was the quick response, “but I had what I considered reliable in formation, that none of the honorable members of this honorable court had ever served In that capacity.” “You have practiced liefore me for years, Blank,” said a circuit judge nt one time, “and this is the first time you have shown contempt.” “Yes, your honor,” answered Blank “I have wonderful self-control"—De troit Free Press. THEY LOST NO TIME. Announcement of an Engagement Was nn Important News Item. In a Milwaukee newspaper offlee the telephone rang loud and long the other night, or rather, In the early hours of the morning, It was the “ dog watch,” most of the workers having gone home, and but one member of the staff was ou guard and ou the alert for anything from a murder to a fire. It was about 3 a. m. when the “dog watch” was called to the telephone to an swer an imperative summons. “Hello!" said a voice. "Is It too late to get something Into to-morrow's paper?" "Not If It’s Important,” was the reply. "Oh. it is,” was the assuring re sponse. The reporter rushed for a pad of paper and a pencil, screwed his ear to the receiver again and said: “All right. Fire away there.” The voice was heard again, this time tremulous with emotion. “The engagement of Miss to Mr.---- is announced.” The wrathful explosion nt the news paper end of the line was picturesque and prolonged. After a choice assort ment of profanity In an aside the query went back: “Why didn't you seud lu such stuff earlier lu the day?” “But I couldn't," said the voice apol ogetically. "You see, It Just happened.” w .- ls No Hope for Hirn, "No, Biggins will never accomplish much In this world. He is too anxious to avoid taking any chances.
