KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, wii! attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medjeal
profession, because it acts on the Kid-
neys, Liver and Ilowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substancc.

USED A LAUDER TO GET IN BED.
J'r-narkuble Fx perl voce of an American
Tourist In Ireland.
An American who lately visited Ire-
land writes: In the hotel at Dublin was |
a bed so large and so high that it
seemed a tableland of mattress over-
shadowed by a cliff of headboards. It
seemed preposterous that any one
should monopolize a bed of such size
and attempt to warm it. By proper di-
vision it would have supplied a family.
When it came time to retire the ques-
tion was not how to get "into" bed, but
how to get "on" the bed. The top mat-
tress was almost chin nigh, and it
seemed that to reach it there would
have to be a hard climb or a desperats |
leap. While the problem of retiring

Chicago Tribune: If Augustus Caesar
could come to life and see his statue as
