A Family liuasive. Physicians are not inclined to

ominend self-medication to the laity. Yet there is one need, says the American Analyst, which they are almost unable to supply. We refer to the "family laxative.!' The family physician is able to prescribe for the most complicated and obscure of maladies and yet is often puzzled to know just what to give when asked for a remedy which can be kept in the house for family use as a laxative, that shall be enecuve, tree trom danger, andJnot unpleasant to take. When absent&n our summer vacation we were asked Dy four 'uinerent parties, representing- as many families, what we thought of the " 'SvruD of Firs. " Not one word did we ' volunteer on the subject, and we were ' somewhat surprised to find that there was this small token of the very gen- ' eraiuse or that preparation, raese ' narties said thev derived mora benefit from it and found it more pleasant to - taKe l nan anything of the kind they had ever used. The simple question ' with them was, is it a dangerous compound? We informed them that its - active Ingredient was a preparation of senna, and that it was entirely free from danger. With this assurance ' they voluteered the information that they should continue to keep it in the house. The therapeutical properties of senna are so well Known that comment on this seems unnecessary. It might be well to notice, however, that Bartholow says it is "'a very safe and service; able cathartic,'' and that it is "highly prized as a remedy for constipation." He abo makes the important observation that its use "is not followed by intestinal torpor and constipation." 'The simple trnth of the matter is, 'we have altogether too few preparat tions which we can recommend to our ' families as effective laxatives. But ' the California Fig Syrup Company has one of the most desirable combinations for this purpose with which we are ' familiar. The Fig Syrup Company : gives to the profession the composition of this preparation, therefore there is no secret about it: the persons who use - this laxative spei-k in the highest terms about it; and we are pleased to notice that a large number of physicians are prescr Mug it. Viewed from the narrowest and most selfish standpoint the physician will lose nothing oy recommending such a preparation as Syrup of Figs to his patients; while viewed from the highest standpoint of doing the best possible fey tfaoee who place themselves in our oare, We would say the profession cannot do better than give their indorseaeato such a preparation. 'Aaemnm psishsrienta of a Girl. Paul Van Cleve, a member of the Montana Legislature, owns a big sheep ranch in that State. His daughter Helen, aged 14 years, is his constant companion in his rides about the ranch and is reputed to be one of the most accomplished riders in that part of the country. She is a picturesque figure on horseback, as she dresses somewhat 'after the cowboy sty.e, wearing trousers, colored shirt, and broad sombrero, and rides in the true cowboy fashion, often bareback. She is also a good shot with the rise.

CHATTER XXIlL ANOTHER VILE PLOT. No sooner had Groundwig departed on his mission of crime than Manning set himself to prosecuting plans for his marriage and bridal tour with renewed activity. His first thought was to persuade Mary to name an 'earlier day for the nuptials, and to this end he assigned as a reason a despatch from some foreign mercantile house, offering him a splendid position with a large salary, provided he could report for duty at a certain day, naming a time that would require his departure within two or three days. He concluded he could not give Mary such a reason for consenting to change the day nxea lor the wedding without danger of exciting her suspicions that all was not right, so he would trust Groundwig. Marr and several of her intimate friends suggested that the wedding should be at o o'ciock in the evening:. that it should be made a gala day as far as possible, and that the invitations snotua be general, ana the ceremony public. It was arranged that the beautiful lawn in front ot the house should be the place, and the Episcopal clergyman In charge of the church at the County Seat should be invited to solemnize the marriage. Mary and her assistants at once began making preparations for the great event. The wedding trosseau was selected, and nimble fingers fashioned and fitted the bride's gown. It was white silk, without trimmings or decorations or ornaments of any Kind. Arrayed in white, she was the prettiest, and in white she looked the more the bride. It was one of the loveliest days in dune. In and around the Nordrum homestead from early morn all was confusion, and. everybody about the premises was on the stir, crowding and pushing and trying to help do something. Mary had retired to her chamber, and, assisted by her dressing maid, proceeded to arrange her toilet. This pleasing and exciting task completed, and the compliments of the bride's maids lavishly bestowed upon her, she aqked to bo left alone until time to proceed to the altar. Daring the days the prospective bride and her friends had been making these preparations, Manning had by no means been idle. With him they were days of excitement, fear, doubt, and rejoicing, and almost the last moments were moments of inexpressible anxiety. overwhelming him with apprehensions of the greatest possible evil. tie ttrst learned or .Louis' arrival in New York oy the receipt, as operator. of the two messages Louis had sent his mother and Mary. These dispatches were quickly destroyed. Then urounawig naa conveyed to him the glad tidings of Louis' conviction of grand larceny and the five years' sentence to hard labor In the penitentiary. Such glorious news almost made his heart burst with joy. Five years assured him in which to bask in Mary Nordrum s love without fear or danger of his great crime being discovered. Groundwig would no doubt hasten back to receive in person the promised reward. The money would be ready for him, and never would money be more cheerfully paid to him who earned it. Things were surely running smoothly now, thought Charles Manning. Had he the arranging of them, they could not have been more to his liking. The morning came. With the going down of the sun all his plans would be consummated. His successor had been named to take charge of the telegraph office, and his employers were complimenting Manning on so closely attending to business as to insist, on remaining at his post until the last moment. He did not intend to let go any of his resources until they were all exhausted, or until there could be no oc casion for using them. Running over in His mina in a can dreaming manner, the thrilling events of the past year, he was aroused by the click, clicK, cuck, ol the instrument before him. The name of Silas Groundwig comes clicking over the wire. The operator starts as though shot. What person in New York is telegraphing Groundwig? Even the message itself does not answer the question. Nor does Manning care who the sender is. The dispatch itself is of the most startling character. It comes like the lightning from a cloudless sky. It may be the climax of the whole revolting scheme Not a word of it is put on paper, but every syllable is burned into Manning's soul: -Governor pardoned tnat fellow on the tenth, and He went West, on the express the- game night. -'Yankee zw." Manning's brain worked fast and keen. A hasty glance at the time table, a quick scanning of the column of figures, and it was clear to see that unless eomething happened or was made to haopen, and that too, at once, Patterson would reach Sandy Lake a full hour before the time fixed for the marriage ceremony to take place. Now, then, where was Groundwig? His services were needed now as they were never needed before. The morning express was due in a few minutes. Groundwig must be on that. In another minute the train pulled in and pulled out, and Groundwig was the only passenger that alighted. A w hispered conference was held between the two, and while talking Manning caught enough of a dispatch that was going ever the wire to make him yell with delight. "Gronndwig," exultingly exclaimed Manning, "God in Heaven approves of my acts. The next west bound train has met with an accident, and will be at least four hours late. That train is the one Patterson must connect with at Jamestown. I shall be married and on the south-bound train, and fifty miles away before he can reach this station. Who says now that fortune dont favor the brave, no matter what they do, if their conscience approves their acts?" "Groundwig, I have won on every side. Mary Nordmun once my wife I will be to her such a devoted loving husband she will never have cause to think she has been decevied. I will be her slave. Yea, I will die for her. If necessary, I will die to keep her from marrying another. But enough of this. Meet me here in an hour and I will have the money for you that I promised." "There comes the purchaser of my farm for the deed; he brings the purchase price with him. Go, now, and come at the hour named."

The trade was completed, the money Said, and Manning, jumping into his uggy, drove to the Nordnum place, where he met Mary who appeared somewhat depressed, nut in the excite, ment he paid little attention to it, and telling her the sale of his farm had been consummated, that all the prep, aralions had been made for the bridal tour, that the south-bound train was reported on time, he hurried back to meet his engagement with Groundwig. The new operator was now in charge of the station. Groundwig, disguised, and hideous, was thvro impatient and nervous. Manning c:iine in hurried and oxcited. Ho handed his faithful accomplice a 11)11 of banknotes in full satisfaction of all services n-ndenvl, and as he turned the operator remarked as though telling an item of ordinary news that the road was just ordered clear of ail trains for a special. Manning, excitedly and confessedly asked: "How far is the line to be cleared." "To this station." "A freight or passenger?" "Neither, altuomotivo and tender." "When does it start?" "This moment three thirty." Not another word was said. Groundwig had been an attentive listener to every word. He understood well what it all meant. More villainy for him. More labor of love to appease his own hate, lioth men stepped out upon the platform. "Clear the track to Sandy Lake," rung in Manning's ears like a funeral dirge at a weeding. The most onimous words of all that had passed over the wires since this bold conspiracy was set on foot. A special for Louis Patterson and at that moment it must bo whirling west ward at its greatest possible speed. At this last hour should he, Charles Manning, ho foiled and cheated of the hand of her he loved better than life? Never' There is still one more chanco. Now then, for the most desperate means to meet the most desperate case. "Groundwig, for God's sake get your brains to working quick quicker than ever before! That is Louis Patterson's special. Yes, I know, and I know you know already what I am going to pro pose. "That special will make a mile a minute. In the store-room you will find an auger, a saw and a hatchet. Put them in one of those bags. I will haud you a package of giant powder. "Number 4 has orders to run to Hadley, twelve miles, and side-track for special that's her whistle, quick now, not a second to spare; go to Clarks Mills, a mile this side of Hadley, you know the bridge at the end of that sharp curvo, the freight will be slowing up there, so you will have no trouble in getting oft, bore a holo jump aboard blow the bridge to " and the train and Groundwig were on their way to Hadley. Groundwig was faithful to tho last. He did his work well. He had a full hour in which to do his job. He first cut the wires in two different places. Tho bridge was on the bottom, quite a high elevation of land on ono side, and thick woods on the other, so there was no danger of being discovered in his nefarious work. " He would not be. interrupted by trains, for none could move in either direction until the special had passed. When all was ready he sot fire to tho fuse, and almost before the smoke had cleared away the locomotive rounded the curve, slowed up, and stopped within a few feet of tho wrecked bridge. The miscreant who had done the deed was seen to plungo into the forest and disappear. The engine was run back to tho station, the alarm given, and, under the lead of the superintendent, a posse well armed, and several men mounted on horseback, started in pursuit of the would-be murderer. The chase was a short one. The desperado was toon surrounded, and, as he drew a revolver to intimidate his pursuers and resist arrest, half a dozen guns were leveled at his head, and 3iias Groundwig, with all his deep, black crimes on his soul gave up the ghost. The moment Groundwig had boarded the train. Manning felt that the last obstacle in the pathway to the hand oi his betrothed had been overcome. He felt he could trust Groundwig to do that work, and do it effectually. From his standpoint ho had fought against fearful odds, had contended against a batallion of fates, and at last was victorious. All day long startling incidents had followed one after the other with painful rapidity, and now was come the trying event of all. He at once arranged his toilet with excellent taste and the utmost care, and when completed to his Sleasure, ho looked every inch the appieat of bride -grooms. His wonderful will-power had enabled him to . conceal all outward evidence of his excessive nerions excitement, which would have exhausted that power, and prostrated even a stronger man. had not the prize been the hand of Mary Nordrum. TO BE COX TIN UED. J A Hotel "Hoodoo." A short, bcavy-set man entered the Hqlland House recently and wro:e his Dame on the register. As he dropped the pen he closed the register with a bang. "Don't do that," exclaimed ono of the clerks, hurriedly opening the register again. "Why not? Too much noise?" asked the guest. "No. It kills business," said tho clerk. "I am not superstitious, but it is well known that a shut register means a poor business. You cannot find a hotel clerk in town who will not say the same thing." "What cures tbo evil once it is done?" asked the guest "Keep the register upside down for two hours," said the clerk. "I will wager that not a regester in one of the big hotels is closed four times a year, unless it is done by the guests before the clerks can prevent it" Clerks at the Firth Avenue, Hoffman, Crunswick, and Buckingham Hotels corroborated their brother of the Holland House. Mew York Sun. Scattered Grain In Wheat. If winter wheat is sown after spring grain, oats or barley, the grain wasted in harvesting Is apt to form a considerable part of the new growth of the spring grain, which will of course winter kill as soon as the first bard frost comes. Whether this outside growtn helps tt.e wheat by forming a protection against the winter or injures it by checking fall growth has been a mooted question among farmers. In the West, especially in prairie sections, the extra growth is held to be an advantage, as it protects the surface from blowing away. Among New York farmers the spring grain in the wheat is held to be a disadvantage, and an extra cultivation to turn it under is often given the wheat field before seeding. That is usually itself ati advantage, even though there were no spring grain to cover. In the West, on the other hand, oats are sometimes sown with winter wheat to help it stand ths winter better.

A Warning. Everybody, or at any rate almost everybody, has been saying that the diabolical practice would lead to mischief, and now it has. You can't throw rice, shoes, and other groceries and habiliments at young married persons, ear after year, without doing damage, i East New York, which is really a part of Brooklyn, a wedding took place the other night. The husband and the wife came down the stairs amid the customary shower, and bolted for the carriage. At this moment the bridegroom's brother rushed into the street, pulled a big revolver, and fired it cheerfully but recklessly in every direction. "Some of the wedding guests," says the chronicler, "had an enjoyable time dodging flying lead." Among those to whom tho wedding guest afforded amusement and exercise was a policeman, who, as soon as the revolver was emptied, arrested tho convivial gentleman and put him in jail. It is thus plain to be seen that rice-throwing leads to tho most deplorable consequences. Buffalo Courier.

Storing Implements, The sheltering of farm implements is not the only thing required to keep them in good repair, but they must be put away in good condition. For example, a plow stored coated with mud will rust and rot though under a tight roof, and such a coating is much more harmful to delicate machinery. Bright steel surfaces may be clean and yet rust unless protected by a coat of coal oil or beef tallow. The tallow must be applied warm, as a liquid. Brown mineral paint is very cheap, is easily mixed with boiled linseed oil, and applied to the old wooden parts of the machines, where the paint has worn off, will prevent decay. Have two brushes, one flat and wide for large surfaces, the other small and round for covering narrow surfaces and getting into corners. Always put the edged tools away sharp, and have all necessary repairs on the machinery done this fall, so all will be in readiness to begin work at tho first opportunity. Farm, Stock, and Home. Why Cows Give Down Milk. To make a cow milk easily she should be kept as contented as possible. If worried, there is sure to be some tension of the muscle which retains the milk, and this holds it up. Usually a feed that the cow likes will remove the worry, and the holding up muscle will be relaxed. It has often had this effect upon cows that were worrying about the removal of their calves. A cow's maternal affection is active, but her memory is not so strong as to make her think of her calf while sho is eating. If the milker is careful, it is quite possible that the cow may for tho time think her calf is sucking, and so give her milk more readily than she otherwise would. We have seen cows that after milking was over would look around and show their disappointment plainly in not seeing their calves, as they evidently expected. American Cultivator. Walls of European Cities. With very fow exceptions the old cities of Belgium and Holland have leveled the walls which have played bucIi grand parts in the national history, and they are converted into promenades after the manner of Chester and York. The walls of Antwerp and Malinee have been replaced by boulevards. The old bastions of Amsterdam still remain, but the citizens of Arnheim and Utrecht and Hoorn and Zwolle and Haarlem and Leydcn disport themselves on fine eveniugs upon the line of fortifications famous In the most stirring pages of what is perhaps the most stirring of European histories. Germans Excel as Knife Grinders. The German cutlerj' grinder is a very superior workman, and in razors ho has not a peer. The English workman will not spare the time to do the work as well, consequently the blanks aro sent to the Gorman from Shnflield to grind. The English stand over the work, the stone being set low. On the other hand, the German has his stone right before his face, and can see his work very olosely. His touch is very delicate, and he can grind a blade as thin as a sheet of paper, and make the best razor in the world. Hardware. A Fact Worth Remembering;.

1 An Klei lrlcFIro Engine. F. H. Wheelock, a St. Paul engineer, has just completed a model of a new electric fire engine, a patent for which wiil shortly bo obtained, that seems destined to work a revolution in fire extinguishing apparatus. It does away with the use of coal, and can be put in action with one horse and one man less than the. engines now in use. The engine weighs but 4,500 pounds, and is of seventy horse-power. This makes the machine weigh 9,000 to 10,000 pounds less than the apparatus now in use, while its efficiency is claimed to be much greater. Philadelphia Ledger. What Women Ought to Besemble. A philosopher says: "Thero are three things which a good woman ought to resemble in one particular, but not in another. Thus, she ought to be like the snail, which always keeps in the house, but she should not copy Its example in putting all she possesses on her back. Sho should resomblo tne echo, which never speaks unless spoken to, but she ouglit not, liko the echo, always try to have tho last word. Lastly, sho ought to be true and correct as the town clock, but she ought not, like the clock, to make noise enough to be heard all over the town." Mew Discovery la Making; Steel. A new method of producing steel has been suggested to M. Jules Garnier by M. Moissan s diumond-making experiments. He claims that it is successful. The steel is instantaneously made by placing a bar of iron and a stick of charcoal together in a parallel direction in an electric firebrick furnace of a temperature of l.OOOdegreesand subjecting them to a strong current. M. Jules Garnier expects that his discovery will revolutionize the steel industry. Scientific American Supplement. Merely an Outline.
