There is much unnecessary talk about building up cities and towns. As a rule, such communities will take care of themselves. They will go forward or backward, or stand still, under their natural laws of growth or decay, and when it is possible'or human effort to advance their interests it is always safe to rely upon the active work of those who expect to be per sonally benefited by the progress of the municipalities where they reside. We need more talk about the up building and the development of the country districts—the rural communi ties. The present steady movement of the farmers and their children to the town is one of the worst signs of the times. It will ruin the country. The best way to build up a town and make it prosperous is to develop the (arming districts around it. The Government encourages manu factoring, but it does very little for I agriculture, beyond giving the farmers I advice and garden seed. Millions of I dollars are expended in giving cities I and towns satisfactory mail .'anilities, I but the farmers are not much better I off iu this respect than their grand-i fathers were a century ago—Current R j v i e w.

It concerns a certain superintendent who was sent up to the company’s works at \Vhiti-ng, to oversee matters. One morning he was strolling about with his eyes open he discovered an Irishman laying pipe n thecustomary excavation. The supe;miendent is a very irascible man. In addition to this, be has a wonderful command ol sulphurous language. Something about the man’s woik displeased him, and he suddenly opened up on the poor fellow with all his heaviest artillery. But though be condemned him to perdition in a different ways, the man in the ditch never so much as looked up If be had been deaf and dumb he couldn’t have taken his roasting more s olidly. The superintendent suddenly pulled up in his wild tirade “See here, my man,’’ he roared, “don’t you know that I’m giving you hell?” The pipe layer paused. Slightly turning his head he squinted .ip at the superintendent “An’ ain’t I inkin’ it like a little nion?’ he asked quietly. THE MODERN BEAUTY Thrives on good food and sunshine, with plenty of-exercisc in the open air. Her form glow’s with health and her face blooms with its beauty. If her system needs the cleansing action of a laxative re ®edy, she uses the gentle and pleasant of Figs, made by the California Fig “Hup Co. only. ’ GEN. MERRITT S NIECE TRICKED Husband Persuaded Her to Get a Di vorce on Promise of Remarriage. Seven y«-ars ago Miss May Berlin, a niece of Gen. Wesley Men itt, was mar ried in Chicago to a young Hebrew> David Weinberg, then a student in a local dental college. Their marriage was opposed by the families of both the man ami the girl, race prejudice being apparently as strong on one side as on tho other. Weinberg began the practice of bis profession there and was moderatelv successful. His young wife assisted him, and later on took up the study of dentistry and became a more skillful practitioner than her husband. Weinbery considered himself a sport, and the money he earned'was rapidly dissipated in backing the wrong horses on the race track. His wife became the money maker of the family, and when she refused to provide him with funds, after he had pawned her diamonds and other jew elry to gratify his passion for “playing the races,” his affection waned. Weinberg determined to get rid of his wife and resorted to a shrewd trick to do it. He told her that their mar riage—a civil ceremony—had greatly displeased his parents, who were wealthy, and that if she would embrace the Hebrew faith and consent to an orthodox marriage, it would be greatly to tbeir advantage. The wife, wbo was very fond of him, agreed to become a Jewess. Weinberg then suggested that she should get a divorce and that they could tin n be married by a rabbi, This the confiding wife agreed to. She filed a bill alleging that Wein berg, who for the past two years has been manager of the Boston dental parlors in Racine, Wis , had deserted her. No defense was made and the di vorce was granted. Weinberg cele brated his newly acquired freedom by a visit to Chicago, and called upon his divorced wife She asked him about the marriage which was to reunite them, and be replied that once was enough for him—New York Sun. ♦— Staying Away From Church- “Some times there is no good in go [ ing to church,” writes Rev. Charles H. [Parkburst, D I), on “What is the Good of Going to Church?” in theJune' ■ Ladies Home Journal. “It depends I I principally on the church It is often i claimed that church attendance is on i the decrease People are not going to [ be drawn in by being scolded for stay ing out. Nor are they going to be [drawn in—in away to hold them—by [being coaxed in by artificial seducs [ tione. A good deal of money is put [ into the artistic trimmings of sanctua ry service, 'lhere is no objection to I the artistic if it is wrought into the body of the service, and not availed of simply as so much millinery put on to make the service more presentable. The advertising of sensational topics is another way the pulpit takes to worry’ truth into reluctant hearts of advertisement-captured congregations it does not hold the people, but it does cheapen the pulpit and set the home of God in the same row with the dry goods stores, millinery shops and other institutions that put big headlines in the newspapers and flaming placards in the front windows We may call the rank and file of people very god less, but they are able t<> distinguish remarkably well between fact and sic lion in matters of religion. I believe that ninety people out of a hundred would respect God’s Imues if they were sure that it is God’s house more than it is man’s. It takes a good deal be sides a pulpit, a choir loft and a spire to make a church.” Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, headache and tired, listless, run-down feeling.

'■ The English arc Sugar Eaters In 1869 the English consumed on the average, 42 pounds ol sugar per capita annually That this i? enough for either health or enjoyment is prov* en by the fact that few people nee so much today. For example, in 1896 Italy consumed 7 19 pounds per capi ta ; Spain 12 67 pounds ; Austria-Hun * gary 16 4-1 pounds; Belgium 22 8 pounds; Germany 27 14 pounds, and France 28 21 pounds In the United States, where the use of sweet- is said to be injuriously excessive, only 35 pounds per capita were consumed in 1869, and 61 pounds per capita in j 1898 In England during 1895-7 ev ( ery human being (including babies, , invalids and paupers) disposed, on tbe average, of nearly 4 ounces of sugar a day, or 8477 pounds a year. ’ Furthermore, neither from the econ omic nor the sanitary standpoint do tbe uses to which this extra sugar ra tion is put seem satisfactory. One of tbe chief of these appears to be to en courage drinking. Though tbe export of beer from England show a tendency to decline, brewing goes apace Twen ty-seven gallons a year per capita, , counting women and children, are surely enough. Iu America, though the amount of spirits drank is tbe same, 15| gallons of beer suffice ; and America beer ia light. Twenty seven and one-quarter gallons were the measure for England in 1883 ; yet in 1897 it had swelled to 31', gallons, an expansion at the rate of about 1 per cent, a year. But, fast as brewing grows, the weight of sugar used in the beer grows faster. In 1883 tbe public put up with something leas than 4| pounds of sugar to the barrel ; in 1897 it demanded between 8 and 9 pounds. —Forum. Supreme Court Decisions. Since Chas, O.

The New Orleans Picayune says; “The sooner that Presioent McKinley calls into being the provisional army authoriz'd by Congress the better. Tbe task before us is not a pleasant nor profitable one ; but the national honor demands that it be faced. The people are extremely disgusted at the way the war is dragging along, and they demand that an end be made as speedily as possible. The administra tion’s hesitation, “backing and filling” are becoming ridiculous, and will soon bring the country into contenept abroad. If the McKinley administra tion is not better able to rise to the demands of a true imperialist policy than it now appears to be, it made a serious mistake in ever essaying tbe task. If a British ministry were guil ty of tbe vacillation and weakness that have characterized our government of late, it would not last 24 hours.” » CT=cr- v - ■ An Excellent Combination. 1 The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, it is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
