The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with lest expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products to the needs of physical being, will 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 moat 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 ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Li ver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from Vvery objectionable substance.

Carpenter, under the title Uncle Sam's Life Savers. The pictures show a station house and the surf-boats and other apparatus used by the life savers. Equally timely is a vigorous essay on Recent Railroad Disasters, by Lafay ette ('. Loomia, recommending some of Hie safeguards used on ocean steamers.

Mrs. Burton Kingsland strikes the key-note of the times by giving some very practical suggestions for a new form of enter tainment under the title of "Fifty Cent Luncheon Clul.s." "How I Be came an Actress" is the theme of a most valuable bit of autobiography from the pen of Adelaide Kistori del Grillo. A sketch, with portraits, of Mrs. Donelson Wilcox, who was born in the White House during the admin istration of Andrew Jackson, and whoa he affectionately termed "The Sunshine of the White House." fur nishes the biography. The second in stallment of Mr. W'illiain Dean How ells' "My Literary Passions" is as full of interest as the first and as well worth reading. The editor discusses with much earnestness the vexed question of the education of our American girls. Miss Julia Magnifier's delightful ser ial.

And at the rate the heathen are being wiped out by those machine guns nowadays, it won't be long, either." John Williams, John Habcriegrass and Bert Hamilton were jailed at Guth rie on a charge of arson. Saturday night a warehouse filled with baled hay belonging to Williams was burned, and it was heavily insured, he is charged with hiring Hamilton and Haberdegrass to tire the structure in order that he might collect the insurance. If thebe were no idle rich there would be no idle poor. One is as great a menace to republican institutions as the other is a disgrace to our civiliza tion. The dispatches state that England approves the President's message. Why not? Mr. Cleveland is England's greatest representative in this coun try. Pricks are daily going lower. If this is the good times which the re peal of the silver law was to bring, give us a dash of hard times just for a change. - WALL Strket had another banquet and Carlisle made a speech on tha beauties of a stable cur. ency. He said silver was an unsolved problem of the future. Wall Strket has one band on the republican party and the other on the democratic party, and the devil has a good solid tail hold on the whole business. The democrats have indorsed the republican sugar bounty policy. Why don't they indorse the republican party and its policy as a whole, and be done with it? The President states, in his message, that "tariff reform is now directly be fore us." That's right; the question is up, new let us see just how they arc going to reform it. The old party bosses are now busy trying to create the impression that the silver issue is a non-partisan one. There is an African in this woodpile; keep an optic on it. The monopoly press makes the an nouncement that the populist party is dead. That's all right, gentlemen; but why don't you proceed with the funeral ceremonies? If making money is not one of the powers of a government why does the constitution say so, and why does the government punish others for ex ercising that power? We take pleasure in informing the public that the circulating medium has been increased about 8 cents per capita. Certainly the country ought to breathe easier now. Secretary of the treasury, Carlisle, met the bankers of New York in a banquet hall and all agreed that things were running along just as the bankers wanted them to. Mr. Van Ai.en has concluded that his reputation will suffer too much if he retains the embassadorship, and so sends in his resignation. Public opin ion was too much for him. The Atlanta Constitution hes re. turned to its "wallowing in the mire." That is to say it is again support ng Cleveland's administration. The price of said support is not stated. A dispatch from Washington says Cleveland is opposed to an income tax If there is a single plank in the demo cratic platform that he doesn't oppose we would like to know what it is. Grover says, in his message to con gress, that ' a reasonable delay in dealing with the financial question will be beneficial." Certainly, it will benefit the English and Am- rican Shy locks ' It is a great tnd statesmanlike message," is the opinion of leading democrats. "It is a very common place document," is what the leading republicans say. Yet ' they are al! honorable men ' Whex I' ne'e Sam's credit is about tc suffer (?). Wa 1 street prescribes the remedy of going deeper into debt. Common sense would dictate that the proper plan would be to pay off some that he already owed. The real, live issue of the hour is whether the citizen or the dollar shall rule. If the banks control' the issue of money they will rule the country If the people control the issue of money the people will rule. The people's party in - Virginia is dead! It gained over ',0,0Cu votes this year over the vote of 1892. The demo cratic party lost over 50,000 v&tes. Oh, yes, the people s party is dead. Over production killed it. The next time it dies it will hurt somebody. The banks are now increasing their reserves. Wiih this money they will purchase the bonds soon to be issued by the government On these bonds, us a basis, they will (.hen issue bank notes to loan to the people. Best banking 6ystem in the world See? The Washington Post says the chap lain of the house, when he offered prayer at the opening of the piesent session of congre;s, "was unduly nervous as he stcod in th .- presence of the Lord and of congre s at the same time." It w. s enough to make any body nervous for the Lord to catch them in such compaut. Some cf the silver men object to com ing into the people's party because it favors government ownership of rail roadr.

Yesterday the m n who was at worl was "an honest son of toil." To-day the factory is c'osed down "on account of the s ringency in the money maiket ' and "jn honest son of toil" becomes an "out of a job." To-morrow he starts out in search of work on foot, h iving no money to pay railroad fares, hence an "honest son of toil" becomes a "tramp." The next morning he is "hauled up" in police cl tirt and is sentenced to pay a fine of $10, or sixty days in the work house. Thus you see how this "honest son oi toil" in four dayt has secured a posi tion for sixty d-s, because he wj a free American ciUMa and hed nocrsh. This is the nearest approach to freedom that au "honest son of toil" has ever attained. The Journal. use the "Royal." It will make the food lighter, sweeter, of finer flavor, more digestible and wholesome. "We recommend the Royal Baking Powder as superior to all others."

The multiplicity and excellence of other magazines. f.r from lessening the usefulness of the Review of Re views, makes this unique periodical more nnd more a necessity. Its index es, condensations of lea ling articles, lists of new books, and general survey of things written, things said, and things done during the month pre ceding its issue, would suffice to keep the busy reader in touch with the cur rent of life and thought, even if he were able to read nothing else. The December number is as full of variety and freshness as its predecessors have regularly been: and to those who know the Review of Reviews this is a suffi cient commendation. The holiday number of Outing is a gem of artistic elegance which loses none of it-, brightness under close in spection. Prominent features of an excellent number are: ' Ivan of the Yask." by Klla Loraine Dorsev: ' Fol lowing Dickens with a Camera." by H. H. Hagan: "A Christmas Fox-hunt in Old Virginia." by Alex. Hunter: "No mads of the North." by C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne. and "In the Land of Josephine, v by Walter L. Beasley. "Yacht Races for the America's Cup," 185,1-1993, by (apt. A. J. Kcnealy. is a book that will be welcomed wher ever the white-winged yacht spreads its canvas to the breeze the world over. In the locker of the sailor, in the library of the sportsman and on the editors desk alike, it will be indis pensible: with all the piquancy of a true sailor s yarn, and all the enthusi asm of a lifetime son of Neptune, it tells of the battles and the breezes which for forty years have waged and raged round the historic America's Cup. Yet withal, he holds the his torian's scales with so steady a hand that both sides of the Atlantic will welcome his tempered judgment and naval lore. The book is illustrated by the first marine artists of the day. anil every celebrated racer, from the Amer ica to the Vigilant, adorns its pages. It is the gift book of the season for all. Scribner's Magazine for January marks the beginning of the fifteenth volume. The first great fiction feature fi r the year is the serial. 'Mohn March. Southerner." by Oeorge AV. Cable, the author of "Old Creole Days.'' This is the lirst long novel that Sir. Cable has published in many years, and is a most dramatic story of the new South. The opening chapters reveal Mr. Cable's sympathetic style and clear character drawing at their very best. Serial stories by J. M. Barrie and George Meredith are announced to begin later. Another feature of this year will be a series of special frontispieces selected by the eminent art critic. Philip Gil bert Hamerton. to represent the ten dency of contemporary art. Each picture will be accompanied with a b-icf article by Mr. Hamerton and a portrait of the artist whose painting is reproduced. In this number Manet's "l ifer" is the striking picture chosen. Anew name in magazine literature, though oae of the best known and most popular to the general public, is that of John Drew, who contributes to this number his reminiscences of the every day life of "The Actor." The Honorable Robert 0. Winthrop (who studied raw in Daniel Webster's office, and afterward when Speaker of the House of Representatives nearly fifty years ago was associated closely with Webster in his public career.) has con tributed to this number his reminis cences of "Webster's Reply to Hayne, and his Ceneral Methods of Prepara tion." F. Marion Crawford concludes his pen picture of Constantinople with some of his most brilliant writing, which is picturesquely reinforced by the beautiful illustrations which Edwin Lord Weeks has furnished from his sketches made on the spot during the past Summer. "Stories in Stone from Notre Fame," by Theodore Andrea l ook, is a description of those gro tesque figures adorning the pinnacles and niches of the great cathedral, which Victor Hugo has put into fiction as the familiars of Quasimodo. There is a brief paper of interest to an students oi sacrea nistory in regard to the "Place of the Exodus in the History of Egvpt." The author is A. L. Lewis, an authority and investi gator, whose paper on the subject be fore the Orientalists' Congress two years ago attracted wide attention, and was subsequently strengthened by investigations of Mr. Flinders-I'etrie. There are short stories by Oeorge A. Hibbard and Hliss Perry and poems by Arthur Sherburne Hardy. W. G. Van Tassel Sutphen, and others.
