An Excellent Combination.
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.

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

cent tests gave remarkable results.
Meadow-foxtail seeu from Germany,
costing 35 cents a pound, was adulter

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.

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.
