Reflections of a Bachelor-
Love with women, says a writer in
the New York Press, is like poker with
a tcan—he does most of bis winning
while be is learning it.
Women know more about love than
they do about loving ; men know more
about loving than they do about love.
Married men are rare whose pride is
so strong that they can’t bear to think
they might have been refused when
they proposed.
Every other woman you meet has
either a missionary scheme that she is
interested in or else a kitten that she
wants you to take care of.
There is no surer way for a man to
make a girl think she has got to have
another man than for him to make
her think be thinks be has got to have
her.
That Joyful Peeling
With the exilarating sense of renewed
health and strength and internal cleanli
ness, which follows the use of Syrup of
Figs is unknown to the few who have not
progressed beyond the old time medicines
and the cheap substitutes sometimes offer
ed bat never accepted by the well-inform
ed.
Mr. H. A. Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes:
“One of my children was very delicate and
we despaired of raising it. For months
my wife and I could hardly get a night’s
rest until we began the use of Pitts' Car
__ minative. We found great relief from the
* first bottle." Pitts’ Carminative acts
promptly and cures permanently. It is
pleasant to the taste, and children take it
without coaxing. It is free Yom injurious
drugs and chemicals.

CASTORIA.
Bears ths The Kind You Haw Always Bought
Signature
of '
A Deadlock Probable-
The peace commissi on bad its first
formal meeting yesterday. It was the
beginning of what promises to be a
long series of meetings, lasting proba
bly through tbe winter. Tbe opinion
is expressed quite freely in Paris that
the Spanish comfciseionere are loaded
with impracticable instructions—in
structions which indicate that tbe
Spanish government does not realise
its helpless condition—and a deadlock
point will soon be reached.
We still bold to the opinion that
our government would have been sav
ed a vast amount of trouble if the
president, when he drafted the proto
col, had stated exactly what we intend
to demand in respect to the Philip
pines and Cuba. Spain would have
accepted whatever the president de
manded. She could not well have
done otherwise.
Now she is hoping to be more suc
cessful in diplomacy than she was in
war. It is said that at the breakfast
given the commissioners by M. Del
casse, the Spanish commissioners kept
saying that Spain was very poor.
Their purpose seemed to be to open
the way for a demand that either Cuba
or the United States should become
responsible lor the part of the debt
of Cuba that was contracted prior to
the beginning of the last insurrection.
It is said also that they are in
structed to give up nothing in the
Philippines except a coaling station,
and to demand for Spain special com
mercial privileges in Cuba and Porto
Rico; and also in the Philippines if it
should turn out that those islands
have to be given up. Another ins
struction is said to be that if the Uni
ted States insists on having the Island
of Luzon, Spain shall have the privi
lege of selling the other islands to the
highest bidder.
The thing for the American com
missioners to do is to state to the
Spanish commissioners exactly what
the United States intend the treaty
shall contain, and give them a reaso
nable time to accept or reject the
terms offered. If a positive position
is not taken at the outset negociations
may drag along until new complica
tions arise—complications that may
make a demonstration of foroe neces
sary before a settlement can be effect
ed.—Savarnab News.

Destructive Work of Lightmt*.
The weather bnreau has lately been
looked into and gathering figures upon
tbe destructive work of lightning, and
tbe data it has made public io calcula*
ted to reassure everybody except the
lightning rod agent. Last year there
were 362 persons killed by lightning
in the United Stales, being an increase
of 21 over the year previous The
fluctuations of tbe death list from thia
cause are very slight. Running back
over a number of years, it has been
found that the number of deaths for.
any three years will foot up about
1,000, making the average per year
133|. Tbis would indicate that’ there
is only one chance in 190,000 of being
killed by lightning, in a population of
tbe sias of that of tbe United Blates
Thia percentage, it is said, is much
smaller than tbe probabilities of being
kicked to death by a horse or a mule;
and yet people are much more afraid
of lightning than they are of a horse’s
heels.
Taking ten year periods, it has been
foucd that tbe destruction of property
by lightning io the United States dur
ing periods ol that length averages
about 700 dwellings, 2,500 barns and
110 churches, with a total ol 4,500
fires and a loss of $16,000,000 This
would make the annual average loaaes
amount to 33 lives, 70 dwellings, 250
barns and 11 churches having a prop
erty value of $1,600,000. And this av
erage baa been found to work out
pretty evenly year alter year. Light
ning may be considered very erratic
in its movements; there is no telling
where it is going to strike; but it does
not fail to strike somewhere and get
in its work pretty thoroughly. 8till (
when it is considered that it has some
70,000,000 of people, and nearly 3,000-
000 square miles of territory to operate
In and upon, it may be seen that the
individual has a reasonable hope of
escaping on the general average.
About one person out of three struck
by lightning dies, the other two in
most cases recovering fully. Many
lives are probably lost because proper
efforts towards resuscitation are not
made after a lightning stroke. A
stroke may have the effect of stunning
a person and suspending animation.
Tbe victim may appear to be dead,
but artificial respiration and stimulat
ed circulation ol the blood may have
tbe effect of reviving him. Every effort
to revive the victim of a lightning
stroke should be made, and continued
for an boor or more. As in cases of
drowning, the energy of the workers
may be rewarded, even after two hours
wo -k, by a rekindling of the apparent
ly extinguished spark of life.—Savan

Beats the Klondike-
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville,
Tex., has found a more valuable dis
covery than has yet been made in tbe
Klondike. For years he suffered un
told agony from consumption, accom
panied by hemorrhages ; and was ab
solutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. He declares that gold is of
little value in comparison with tbis
mavelous cure; would have it, even if
it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.
Asthma, Bronchitis and all throat
and lung affections - are positively
cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption. Trial bottles free

The American Method-
A very good story concerning one
of our troops in Manila Is told by an
English naval officer, who was an eye
witness to the oecorrencr.
A few days after American troops
bad occupied the city, I was ashore
taking a look at the city and American
soldiers. The city was quite crowded
with American and Spanish soldiers
both, and they seemed to be on the
friendliest terms. The Spanish officers
were walking tbe streets with their
side arms, as they bad been allowed to
retain them by the terms of surrender.
It would have been hard to tell who
were in possession of the town bad it
not been for the American sentinels
who were, pacing the. streets. Just as
I was crossing one ol the numerous
bridges across the Pasig river, I saw a
native Filipino spit in the face of a
Spanish officer, and then run to tbe
American who was guarding tbe bridge
demanding bis protection. I -stopped
to see the thing out, as I was rather
curious to see what tbe American sol
dier would do.
It was some time before the Filipino
could make himself understood, and
the sentry took some time to catch on
to what had been done, but you oan
imagine my surprise when he handed
his gun to tbe Spanish officer and
caught the native by the nape of the
neckband the asst of bia Irouaers and
plt&ed him off thr-bridge into the
Paaig river. Then he calmly took bis
gun from the Spanish officer and be
gan pacing the beat as if nothing bad
happened. I went my way, thinking
tbe American soldier may not be as
military as bis brother of Europe, but
be is made of tbe right staff.
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 California Fig Svbup
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 California Fig Stbup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding tbe worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia. Fig Stbup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the aatiafaction
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,
aa ft acta 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—
