scarlet was selected on account of the

not true. It was adopted from the field

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Hthvp or Figs, manufactured by the
CauroKaiA Fie 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 moat 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
fently 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

taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and

CRANBERRY CROP.
FIrat Actual Returns for the Terel't
Census Giro the Statistics of
the Fruit Produced.
The first actual returns or statistics
tor the twelfth census are uow wining
in. Thev relate to cranberry culture
and give the acreage, tenure, quantity
of fruit produced, cost of labor and far
tilisers, area of new plantings, value of
crop and losses from disease, insects
and other natural causes for each bog
or plantation.
In January, 1900, preliminary avhod
ules relatiug to the cranberry yield
1899 were sent out to all the irrowers
whose names and addresses could be
obtained. The number of commercial
erowers in the United States is over
S. 000. Thev are found mainly in the
states of Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Maine, Connecticut, Michigan and
Wisconsin, but Minnesota, Oregon
Rhode Island, Washington anil New
York reported bogs. The number
Michigan and Wisconsin is on the in
crease despite a temporary set-back by
forest fires.
The growers are well organised, the
national association having' its head
auarters at Trenton. New Jersey, and
local organizations existing in Massa
chusetta and possibly elsewhero.
Annual 'Pom Pom."
The Indians residing along the river
near Toiipeiiish, a short distance from
North Yakima, Wash., are having thei
annual "pom pom" danoo. Numerous
tepees are used for this oeeason, and
the inmates spend the time iu sinking
dancing, feasting and making merry
They began last week, while the snow
was on the ground, to give a Chinook
dance, as their ponies were getting
poor, and the indications were winter
had set in, but a sudden change in the
temperature made also a change in
the dance progtamme, and tbe pom
pom" or "grass dance" was instituted,
This peculiar dance is observed in the
same manner as Chinese new year, and
lasts week or ten days. The Indians
array themselves in gorgeous costumes
and congregate at different tepees,
where a general feast is prepared. It
is the season for making new friends
and old animosities are buried. The
tribe as a whole has ceased to observe
this sacred annual festival, the educat
ed members thiuking it beneath their
notice, but tbe isolated members con
tinue to dance every spring when th
winter is over and grass begins to show
on the range.

SPRING TRADE ENLARGING.

General distribution of trade it ot

by weather conditions and holidays
Spring bnsinesa ia enlarging at many
markets East and West, the presence
of buyers being oncouraged by special
passenger rates. A softening ot prices
ot speculatively dealing staples is to be
noted, but the reactions are of narrow
extent.
foreign demand for whoat remains
small, American stocks are large, and
farmers are reported holding supplies
back, and eiop-dainage scare are dis
counted by mild weather. Th
strength of corn has been a feature, for
eign demand being of good proportions,
and this has tarnished supporting
element in the wheat market.
There is a larger volume ot business
in pig iron at some markets, but less
at others, and prices ot that product
are quite steady.
Structural iron continues active, in
dicating heavy building operations the
coming spring and summer. Foreign
iron markets retain all their old
strength, and lower ocean freight
would, it is argued, bring about a
great enlargement of our export trade.

As Is well known, the soldier's risk
of death In battle Is not nearly as great
as of finding a grave as the result ot
disease. The most competeut authori
ties state that on the average It takes a
ton of shot to kill one man. For In
stance, It has been estimated that Iu the
Crimean war the British ami French
troops fired between them the enor
mous amount of 43.000,000 projectiles,
resulting In the death of only 51,000
Itnsslans, while on their side the Czar's
adherents killed some 40.000 of the
allies, with an expenditure of over 50,

After an experimental study of more
than five years at the psychological
laboratory of the Saltpctrlere, M. Vas-
chlde has concluded that the bra In Is
always active, and there Is uo such
thing as dreamless sleep. He has
watched tbe sleep of thirty-six subject
ranging In age from twelve mouths to
! eighty years, and bis own observations
nave been ctiecked by those of rorly-six
other persons. He finds that the dreanw
ot deep sleep differ from the hallucina
tions that come at the moment ot fall
ing asleep and that of waking. The
superficial sleep reflects more tbe seu
satlons of every day, while the dreams
of deep s!eep are more continuous, more
logical, farther from reality, and have
more to do with one' earlier existence.
Geologists are of the opinion that the
vast territory now known as Wyoming
once had numerous fresh-water lakes
and a climate approaching the semi
tropical, and that the animals whose
bones are from time to time coming to
light Inhabited these lakes and tbe ad
joining swamps In myriads. They sank
Into the mud In dying, and their bones
were covered with other deposits and
became petrified. The large beds are
found at points supposed to have been
tbe mouths of great rivers, the animals
after death having floated down these
rivers to places where they were de
posited In these estuaries, thus account
ing for the vast deposits which charac
terize certain localities and which have

Science a new movement for writers

To write In the new manner, let the top

of to the left. The horizontal lines
across the paper can then be followed
by drawing the whole arm. In the direc

flank. "Meanwhile Impart to the wrist
(and forearm) a back and forth lateral
motion which shall produce the vertical
trokes of the letters." When this
method has been mastered, Prof. Wood

more legible, showing no tendency to
degenerate Into the flat scrawl." The

case would need very careful handling
to prevent great disfigurement. Not to

confined myself that night to a superfl-

briefly that I would try to restore bis

the proprietor recognized him and said
"I have something here that belongs
to you." When the careless fellow saw
his thousand-dollar bill again he al
most fainted from Joy. Now ho keeps
