Truth and
Quality
appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not claimed that, Syrup of Figs
*nd Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
aftereffects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine—
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

SAVED BY
DULAN
By Wm. J. Dwyer.
During one of the recent uprisings
in India I had been sent from Colom
bo. at my own request, to Calcutta,
to there join the force that was to
be sent up in the hills to put down the
uprising. Upon my arrival at Cal
cutta the force under Gen. Darcy had
already been several days on the
march. After much bargaining I de
cided to trust to luck, and engaged
a native boatman to paddle me up
the river to a point where I could take
the trail. I had no fears that I would
cot be able to make myself under
stood so long as I was among the
friendly hill tribes.
Upon the advice of my boatman we
landed at a point on the river several
miles below a village. After leaving
me encamped on the bank, behind the
tropical folliage, with the boat drawn
out of sight, he went to the village
above to ascertain the sentiments of
the inhabitants.
He returned after several hours,
which seemed to be so many days, ac
companied by an intelligent looking
man and a woman. 1 found that she
was from far up in the hills, and
that years before she had run away
from her native village with the man
who was now her husband. They had
intended on the morrow to return to
the place of her birth, and had con
sented to act as my guides and to
carry my luggage.
We started off in the cool of the
evening. We were in hopes of reach
in the encampment of the soldiers in
five or six days. T'p! Up! Up! Al
ways up! It seemed as though the
world had settled back and that we
were doomed eternally to climb up.
We passed village after village totally
deserted. The fanatics of the hills
had evidently called the villagers to
join their forces or they had fled to
the low lands. On the third day tip
my man guide developed a bad fever.
The next day he became delirious,
and toward dusk collapsed completely.
His wife, whose name was Dulan, took
up the luggage, and I half-carried,
half-dragged him to the outskirts of
the village, where we made a bed of
bamboo. Dulan would look at me
appealingly and express with her eyes
how grateful she would be to me if
I would save her husband. I literally
filled him with quinine, and I found,
to my surprise the next morning, that
the patient was losing his fever. We
tound the sole inhabitant o the vil
lage was an old man who had de
cided to remain, and afte' we had
left her husband in his cure, Dulan
and I proceeded.
Date the same evening ve entered
another village that was to all intents
deserted. Dulan selected a house
where she was to sleep, antVI selected
another nearby. I proceeded to re
tire for the night, and. i 1 fact, had
been resting on my bed of bamboo
for some few minutes, w ten 1 heard
the beating, indistinctly at first, of a
tom-tom drum.
The room was in to’al darkness,
and cautiously glancing around 1 saw
off to the left the reflection through
the floor of a light. I Was in a cold
sweat. My clothing clung to me. Af
ter a few minutes’ interval I proceeded
to drag myself toward the light, and
amid the cracking of the bamboo I
looked through the crevice and dis
covered that 1 was above a cave of the
hill fanatics. They were carrying on
one of their wild, outrageous dances,
whirling around and around, until,
completely exhausted, they would
drop, one by one.
I dared not move now for fear of
being discovered. Vermin covered
me, and the stench from the pit below
was well-nigh unbearable. I do not
believe I moved one inch during the
whole night. I could see the sun ris
ing through the half-opened door and
half wished that I had been butchered
and had the suspense over with.
Then. ah. then, 1 heard the sweetest
music in the world. An army bugle
sounded. 1 was saved! I heard the
rumbling of gun carriages, and
cramped as I was, I half crawled to
the door and beheld a mountain bat
tery coming down the street.
Dulan was seated on the first gun
carriage between two soldiers.
Chrome Mining in Asia.
For many years past chrome min
ing has been pursued as an industry
in Asia Minor. The chrome is usu
ally found on mountains from 4,000 to
5,000 feet high and removed from the
pits to the railway station or market
on the backs of donkeys and camels.
But while chrome in the neighbor
hood of Smyrna brought $100 a ton,
it now commands a very small price,
being in this respect like antimony,
so that it scarcely pays to mine it.
and certainly not in districts remote
from railways. As the chrome of
other countries comes on the world's
markets that of Turkey, whose mines
have never been worked on a scien
tific basis with up-to-date machinery,
must necessarily decline in value.
Geese Pick Up Gold.
A French report from China de
scribes a curious way the inhabitants
have of obtaining gold. Large flocks
of geese are kept to work the gold
fields. Periodically they are tested
and those found to be of a certain
weight are killed and their crops emp
tied of their contents.
In this way an average of $.150,000
worth of gold is obtained annually,
all of which is shipped to Pekin. The
geese killed are afterward dressed for
market and fetch from 14 to 20 cents
apiece.
LOOKED FOR OTHER TWO.
Little One Had But One Idea of Term
"Fore-Handed.”
Little Caiherine has been boarding
on a farm this summer, and many of
the rural expressions are wholly un
familiar to her. One day she chanced
to hear her country hostess praising
the good qualities of a certain thrifty
neighbor.
"He really ain't got much, com
pared to some folks," said the farm
er's wife, "but he makes out wonder
ful well; he's so fore-handed.”
That evening the man thus lauded
happened to drop in, and Katherine
immediately sidled up to him, with cu
rious eyes. Slowly she revolved about
the chair in which he sat, and so per
sistently did she gaze at him that the
farmer's wife finally noticed it.
"Well, Katherine,” she said, “you
seem to find a good deal to look at in
Mr. B-; don't you?”
"Why,” replied the child, her little
forehead wrinkled in perplexity. “I
did want to see his two uvver hands,
but I can’t, is he sittin' on 'em?”

“My baby niece was suffering from
that terrible torture, eczema. It was
all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. She cried and
scratched all the time and could not
sleep night or day from the scratch
ing. I had her under the doctor's
care for a year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor in the city and he
said that she would have the sores
until she was six years old. But if I
had depended on the doctor my baby
would have lost her mind and died
from the want of aid. But I used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and she was cured in three months.
