A recently patented freight seal has
made its appearance on the market,
and several lines are now considering
its adoption. The new seal is said to
possess many advantages over the com
mon lead seal now in use. It consists
of a tablet of terra cotta, on which the
initials of the road are stamped, and
perforated by a square hole, through
which the fastening device is passed.
It is impossible when applied to car
doors, to open them without first break
ing the seal. When broken no amount
of ingenuity could serve to prevent the
knowledge it had been tampered with.
An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California 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 most 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
gently 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
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

Great Britain's Locomotives.""
There are 19,914 locomotives at work
on the railways of the United Kingdom,
and each of these on an average runs
19,096 miles in a year, and earns for
this 4,573, so that each mile the loco
motive runs its gross receipts are .bout
4s. 9d. Like the human factor In all
Industries, the locomotive to-day is do
ing more than that of ten years ago,
but, unlike the human-factor, engines
are now earning less; the 15,924 locomo
tives then on the railway each ran 19,.
035 miles, and earned 4,929 per annum.
If, therefore,' we take the cost of an
average locomotive at 2.700, It Is found
that she earns In gross receipts her total
cost in seven months; but the profits are
quite another matter. -

that it was nearly 6. The men would
be coming soon. ;'
Matronly women In long far wraps
were waiting for their carriages, and
girls in picture hats and trailing silks
slipped through tie throng Into the
drawing-room. A sweet-faced young
girt in white chiffon, with her arms
full or pink roses, stood before a man
tel banked with Cowers, at the left of
a stately woman in lavender. It was,j
the girl's first bow to society, and tho
woman by her side was stili young
enough to fee! old when men stopped
to make pretty speeches to her daugh
ter. Mrs. Howe felt that having a fie

finding the first white hairs. The men
were arriving now; the elder ones

Near the door was a-great,

"Well,' here' goes. Be careful. Don't

The girl had noticed the two. She
etuUed reassuringly at the big fellow.
Her oi lad went back to the day, a week
before, when she had seen him last
He wasn't in black broadcloth then.
Instead,' n's balr hung in long black

' "Miss Dolly. Bob washed his face in

"Well, take care of pourself, old man,"
and hurried across the room to speak
to a girl he knew.
Bob laughed ' uncomfortably and
twisted his neck about as if he were
unacquainted with - his collar. "Dolly,
niy dear child," said Mrs. Howe, "you
must be tired standing here so long.
Mr. Fields, won't you take her out to
the dining-room and get her a cup of
coffee or something?" , ' '- ; ; - :
Bob thanked-her with a rapturous
look, .and the two disappeared on their
way to the dining-room. There are one
end of the table was a limp-looking
girl with pale yellow hair and loose
gloves' on her thin arms. In front of
her were a large samover and an array
of cupe. She had been pouring choco
late and tea for the last ten years, and
was glowing old in the service. . The
sliver candelabra at either end of the
tab!? proudly held up the half -burned
pink candles with pink shades, and the
cut-glass dishes of pink bonbons spar
kled in their light The waiters hur
ried here and there, bringing in plates
of salad and ices. Pretty girls in
dainty dresses served the guests 'stand

Bob csme in a girl in a much-berufiled
pink silk rushed to them with a smile
that showed all her dimples.

to these teas and dances and things
by the end of the winter." said the girl
with the social experience of two sea
sons to her account She smiled and
glanced up at Bob, and showed all her
dimples again.
The football player led Dolly to a
little cushioned seat in an alcove.
Then was an orchestra behind a
screen of palms. Now they were play
ing "La Paloma" with a mystical Mex
ican jingle. . Dolly looked down at the
great buach of roses In her lap. They
had come that morning with Vernon
Pierce's card. She was no longer
there In the heated hall of her cltv
home, w.'tb Bob. dear old stupid, ilre

In Consequence John Dale la Husband
of an Indian Queen.
For many years a white woman
named Andaga has reigned over a smal
band of Indians lu the Ungava country.
Rainy Lake region, about 300 mile,
north of the dividing ilne between th
United -States and Canada. Now th
woman Is dead and her daughter, who
Is the wife pf a white man, Is crowned
aueen In her stead. . .
The husband of the' queen, John W.
Dale, b) the first white man who has
ever received admission to the tribe
During' a prospecting tour for gold
which Dale made about three years age
he discovered a storehouse of gold and
had a narrow escape from death at the
hands -of the Indians. His life was
spared only because the young Indian
srlrL Nlta. danehter of the queen, fell
In love with him and besought his re
lease. ' . ' -
1 Now' the daughter Is queen, the cere
nsonv of Installing her taking place lm
mediately after reducing to ashes the
body of the dead sovereign. -
The young woman and her husband
were carried to the council house of the
Ungavas, where, in the presence of th
250 or 300 members of the tribe, thej
swore never to reveal the location of th
storehouse of gold, which had been on
of the treasured possessions of the band
for many years.
After taking tho bath, which consist
ed of placing themselves In the centei
of a circle formed by the Indians, and
dropping upon their knees, while thel:
subjects advanced upon them . with
drawn knives to signify that - they
would make no resistance to being put
to death should they ever betray the
secret places of the cave of gold they
resumed their places upon the throne,
so called, after which all the member!
of the band prostrated themselves,
Bhowlng thereiy that they were the
slaves of the pair, where they remained
until ordered to rise.
, The manner In which Dale discovered
the gold was" rather odd. Having with
his companions shot some wild ducks
for food, they found several pellets of
coarse gold In the crops and gizzards
of the birds. Estimating that the bits
of rock In which the gold was Imbedded
came from the far North, they started
on Its trail, with the success of being
captured, and the final escape of Dale's
companions and marriage of himself to
the queen's daughter...
A small party of .white men, repre
senting New York, Boston, Chicago and
St Louis capitalists, have just returned
from the Ungava country, and the mem'
bers report the land rich In gold, silver,
copper, iron,, coal and other minerals.
Endeavors will be made to develop the
country.. Some of the members of the
party declare they saw traces of the
Indians over which Mrs. Dale Is ruling,
and one of them brought back several
Indian curios, which he says he ob

DEAFNESS CANNOT. BK CTJBED
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets In
flamed you hare a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the Inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out ot tea are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case ot Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
