The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Srnup of Figs, manufactured by the Califoknia 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, clearjsing 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 Etance, 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. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid imitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

UIHKS WHtHt All HSt- tA LS. fetcience fegfiivention It Is said that In the case of heavy vehicles, such as motor carriages, the principal source of wear and destruc tion of the pneumatic tires is not punc turing or breaking, but internal strain and friction. In some tires the interior fibers of the rubber have been found reduced to a fine powder by the con stant wear. The Agricultural Department has constructed a new building at Wash ington to be used solely for testing seeds of all kinds, in order to afford pro tection against dishonest dealers. Re cent tests gave remarkable results. Meadow-foxtail seeu from Germany, costing 35 cents a pound, was adulter ated more than 70 per cent, with seed worth only 10 cents a pound. Orchard grass, purchased In the open market, was more than half bad. Some crim son clover, similarly purchased, was U8 per cent. bad. 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 of disease. The most competent 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 In the Crimean war the British and French troops tired between them the enor mous amount of 4r,000,000 projectiles, resulting In the death of only 51,000 Russians, while on their Islde the Czar's adherents killed some 40,000 of the allies, with an expenditure of over 50, 000,000 projectiles .this representing a death for every 1,0S7 shots tired. After an experimental study of more than five years at the psychological laboratory of the Saltpetriere, M. Vas chide has concluded that the brain is always active, and there is no such thing as dreamless sleep. He has watched the sleep of thirty-six subjects ranging In age from twelve months to eighty years, and his own observations have been checked by those of forty-s!x other persons. He finds that the dreams of deep sleep differ froui the hallucina tions that come at the moment of fall ing asleep and that of waking. . The superficial sleep reflects more the sen sations of every day, while the dreams of deep sleep are more continuous, more logical, farther from reality, and have more to do with one's 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 wliose bones are from time to time coming to light inhabited these lakes and the ad joining swamps in myriads. They sank into the muti In dying, and their bones were covered with other deposits and became petrified. The large beds are found at points supposed to have been the mouths of great rivers, the auinials 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 proved such a study to scientific inves tigators. Trof. R. S. Woodworth describes in Science a new movement for writers with the pen which, he thinks, has. decided advantages over older methods. To write In the new manner, let the top of the paper slant to the right Instead of to the left. The horizontal lines across the paper can then be followed by drawing the whole arm. In the direc tion of the forearm, back toward the flank. "Meanwhile Impart to the wrist (and forearm) a back and forth lateral motion which shall produce the vertical strokes of the letters." When this method has been mastered, Prof. Wood worth says, "rapid writing Is freer and more legible, showing no tendency to degenerate into the flat scrawl." The movement can also be taught, with rel itlve facility, to the left hand. AN ODD C SE. It Will Linger Long in the Memory of a Surgeon. "What was the strangest case I ever had?" said one of the surgeons In at tendance at the late convention, repeat ing the question of a reporter with whom he was chatting. "Well, let me see. I believe the oddest Incident of my career occurred In but hold! on second thought I don't care to give any names or dates. The facts, If you like, were these: I was called by messenger to a cheap boarding house one evening to attend a man who was said to have been hurt in a fight. I found a young fellow of 25 or thereabouts, half dazed, with a bloody contusion on one of his cheeks and a badly broken nose. The bridge was smashed almost flat with the face, and I saw at once that the case would need very careful handling .to prevent great disfigurement. Not to bother you with technical details, I confined myself that night to a superfi cial dressing, and deferred further pro ceedings until next day. When I called the following morning the young man had quite recovered his senses, and al though h!s clothes were shabby and all his surroundings poor and mean, It was evident from bis hands, talk and bearing that he had never done any hard work and was a person of educa tion and refinement. I took him for the black shep of some good family, but made no comments, and explained briefly that I would try" to restore his nose as far as possible by performing a slight operatiou and inserting an arti ficial support. To my astonishment he objected flatly, and Insisted on lettlug It heal exactly as It was. 'But you will be frightfully disfigured,' I protested; 'I doubt if your best friends would rec ogui.e you.' Strange to say, that as surance seemed to render him only the firmer, and I was compelled to let him have his way. It was nearly three weeks before he was well, and, as 1 an ticipated, he looked exactly like some battered bruiser of the prize ring. I never saw the man again, but six months later I was shown the photo graph of a haudsome young chap who was badly wanted for a big embezzle ment. I put my finger over the nose and recognized my late patient. He had walked aboard ship right under the eyes of the detectives and sailed for the Argentine Republic. They had his photo, but never dreamed of con necting It with the caved-In counte nance of that particular passenger." "Did he get somebody to break his nose ou purpose?" asked the reporter. "I never ascertained," said the surgeon. New Orleans Times-Democrat. CAMEO CARVING. Brief Description of the Tools and the Method Em ployed. All the tools used by the cameo carver would make but a handful. Th worker sits before a wheel turned by a pedal: tools occupy a small corner of the table surface on which the work er's hands rest while he holds the shaped stone or shell beneath the needle-like drill. The little pointed In struments which are used to drill re semble lliose employed by a dentist, mid. Indeed. It was from the cameo carver's kit that the dentists got many of their Ideas when the tools now in use by them came to be manufactured, thirty years ago. Tho drills vary In thickness according to the portion of the figure or design to he executed; some are as fine as the point of a cam bric needle. A small china receptable also stands near, filled with oil and dia mond dust, and Into this the workmnn frequently dips his tool during the progress of his work. The cameo cut ter's occupation is very exacting. He can put in only a few hours' work at a time as a usual thing, because of the tension on his nerves. A quavering hand may be responsible for the single stroke which will spoil a week's work. He must have an eye almost like a microscope, and a very delicate touch; he must be an artist In soul and as skilled a craftsman as Is a watch maker; he must know how to model and draw, and lie must have a knowl edge of chemistry, so as to remove offending spots. The work Is executed In relief on many kinds of hard or precious stones, but essentially the chaleedouic variety of quartz, and on shells. The cameo cutter himself pre fers onyx because oflts dark and light layers, which throw out in bold relief a white head, say against a black background. He evolves his picture by removing all that portion of the white stratum remaining after the head has been completed. Sapphire blocks are used, cnrnelian, turquoise, amethyst and numerous other stones. It takes about one month to execute a portrait ou onyx, while much less time is con sumed If the work Is done on shell. There Is always groat danger' of the latter breaking; and Its durability, too. Is not great, so that shell, as a rnlp. In not as desirable as the harder materials. A portrait ou onyx will cost $200, while one In shell may be had for $50. The Inquiries for these are rare, and build ing up a patronage Is slow, and Is ac complished mainly by satisfied custom ers Influencing others. New York Evening Post. A Narrow Kaoape. A man enme to St. Louis from Texns not long ago to see the sights. He had with him nearly four thousand dollars, among which were three one thousand dollar notes. Having no friends in the city, and being fearful of banks, he hid these big bills very securely, as he thought, by pasting them on the Inside of his shirt bosom. After carousing for about a week he took his undergar ments to a laundry, and three days later discovered at the same time that the bills were still on the shlit. and that he had forgotten where the laun dry was. In his dcspnlr he left the city and returned to St. Louis, nn l when he took his clothes to a laundry the proprietor recognized him and said: "I have something here that belongs to you." When the careless fellow saw his thousand-dollar bills again he al most fainted from Joy. Now he keeps his surplus wealth In a bank. What Money WouH Do.
