thin finger shaped pieces. Into a bat-

ful of cloves and allspice, one teaspoon

Habits of Wild Eiies.
There are about five thousand spe-
cies of the wild bees, all with interest-
ing ways of their own. Among them
is a species whose females are verit-
able amazons, and egrry more and
better weapons than the males. There
ar.e the “cukoo” bees, who deposit
their eggs in the nests of others, the
progeny of both living peaceably to-
gether until maturity, when they sep-
arate. Then there is the tailoring bee,
which cuts leaves with her scissors-
like jaws, arid fits a snug lining of the
leaf material into her cave-shaped
nest.__
Not “Just as Good”—It's the Rest.
One box of Hunt’s Cure is unfailing-
ly, unqualifiedly and absolutely guar-
anteed to cure any loiriii of Skin Dis-
ease. It is particularly actire in
promptly relieving and permanently
curing all forms of itching known.
Eczema, Tetter, Ringworm and all
similar troubles are relieved by one
application; cured by one box.
Education in Sweden.
Nowhere else, unless in America, is
education so universal as in Sweden.
Every child must go to school be-
tween the ages of seven and 14, un-
less the parents can show that they
are being privately educated. There
are about twelve thousand common
schools in Sweden, even the thinly
populated districts having “ambula-
tory schools,” held in various parts
of the district. When this is. the case
the school term is reduced to about
half the ordinary duration.—The
Craftsman._
Champion Whittier.
B. F. Clay, of Philadelphia, a re-
tired ship carpenter nearly 80 years
of age, is «aid to be the champion
whittler of the world. Aided only by
a penknife and a piece of sandpaper,
he has cut down a single block of
wood to a quadruple-linked watch
chain over three feet long and many
other exceedingly delicate and dif-
ficult pieces of work. During the
last few years, since retirement., Mr.
Clay has cut scores of watch chains.

When one man tries to do the'work
of three the work of two remains un-

Syrup’of Figs,'manufactured by the California Fig Syrup; Co. Syrup pi Figs has
come into general favor in 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, because
they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa-
ble physicians as to use, medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste ; therefore it is not a secret remedy 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.
* Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
always has the full name-of the Company—California Fig Svrup 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 c-f 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 hm/e
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxative remedy is required.
