' "Og K ing with Automobiles. In its logging operations this winter ! the H. C. Akeley Lumber company is i using a new power for hauling logs. The Mississippi Valley Lumberman says that F. S. Farr has designed and constructed a log-hauling machine, ! which consists of a boiler and engine mounted on an ordinary sled. l'he propulbion is by means of four heavy > calked wheels, two forward and two back, which run in about the same tracks as horses would. The runners of the sled run in the ice ruts of the logging road, and the calked wheels are so arranged that they rise or fall to accommodate themselves to uneven places in the road. This engine is made to do the work of four teams, as It will haul four loaded sleds of logs. The machine Is roughly gotten up this yar, but Mr. Farr believes he has the oorrect Idea, and will Improve on it for the next season in the woods.— Minneapolis Journal.

Critic—Mr. Fitzslugger requested me to praise it. An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIOS, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA 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, 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.

MAN-EATING LIONS. They Catcli Unman Being" Because It Is Less Trouble. Wlien HODS become man-eaters, these inert and treacherous brutes take no unnecessary trcuble to catch men, and -while human beings are plentiful, none of them undertake perilous enterprises or proceed on any haphazard expeditions. They know what to do and where to go in order that prey may be procured with the least amount of risk or exertion. Such a lion is well aware of who tills this cornfield or that mcnlie patch, i He has informed himself of how many men accompany the village herds, j where any outlying camps are situ ated, and how they are guarded. There J is no route by which travelers pro ceed or traffic is carried on, that such animals have not studied with refer ence to the facilities of attack they afford and their own bodily powers. I If otherwise good strategic positions j present natural difficulties, the lion not only considers how there can be I overcome, but, perhaps, practices his part beforehand. At all events, he has been watched while engaged in j exercises that can only be explained in'this way. So puny a creature as man is, when unprovided with effective implements for offence, stands little chance against such a foe—an assailant hav ing forty times his own strength, backed by marvelous activity and an | intense passion for carnage. Under j these oircumstances savages can only ' shut themselves up, or assault'their enemy in large masses. On the other hand, those precautions taken I by a murderous lion might not seem i to comport with that bold and often reckless temper attributed to this Bpecies. But such a discrepancy has |no rea' existence; it only appears when a judgment is made without tak ing all the facts into consideration, j This animal's intelligence, developod I in man-eaters to its highest point, to gether with an organic stealthiness of nature and proclivity toward unex j pected attacks and strategems, fully | account for everything a lion does in the way of guarding against failure." —Dr. Porter, in Outing. Hints For Advertisers. The moral of an ad. should run from beginning to end. The merchants who have no aim in their advertising get returns only on | its ebb tide. Plain words, tersely and correctly ! spoken, outweigh, and may outlast,the j memory of the printer's art. Successful general advertisers al ways plan their advertising ahead,and so, too, do successful retailers. The "place of honor" in a publica tion is held by the best advertisement, not necessarily by the most advau tageously plaoed one. j The man who is couviucod that ad vertising does not pay is generally 1 anxious to have au extended personal ! uotic-; every time he leaves town or returns. j An advertisement of promise is the one which has the elements of profit able publicity inwrought in its mnko np, not the one caught on the hook of j the most ready-promising solicitor or publisher.—Profitable Advertising. Tlie Earliest llecord of Golf. The earliest representation of authentio golf yet discovered is tho ! Flemish miniature (1500-1510) re produced in the Illustrated London News of June 9, 1891, and described by Mr. Mayhaw. Tho "course" is a field surrounded by palings. There are three players, each having only one club. One player has teed and is "addressing" his ball, but from his "stayed" grip and the look of his club he does not seem to be meditating a full drive. One of the other players is "holding out." The attitude of the latter may be recommended to the notice of a distinguished golfer and author, whose grip of the putter seems to get lower and lower, becom ing more aud more deadly as it descends. Etymological speculation is as unsafe as it is fascinating, but it j may be of significance that tho Dutch : word for hole is "put," from which I one is tempted to derive our word I "putt," which used to bo pronounced "poot."—Harper's Weekly. More Way. Tliau One. "Either things have changed since I was a girl," said an elderly woman, "or men and womou sew differently. I know I was taught to sew most care i fully, and the one thing that was im ] pressed upon my mind was that I must take short needlefuls of thread. That was to save time and energy, and the thread was in better condition to put into tho work when it had not been drawn through so muny times. But' the other day I happened to see the men sewing at a ladies' tailor's where they make the most beautiful gowns, and such needlefuls of thread and silk as I saw! A big man with n long arm in taking a stitch would pull I out his thread as far as he could reach, j and that must have been at least a , yard. I suppose that man knows how to make gowns, but he wasn't taught to sew up in New England in my day." —Detroit Free Press. One Wunian'i Way. "Speaking of women with saving dispositions," said Dixmyth, "my wife's in a class all by herself." "How so?" queried his friend Ho jax. "Last week I bought an upright piano," replied Dixmyth, "and my wife made a beautiful greeu plush cover for it, so the polish got scratched. Yesterday shc 'majlo an other covor of linen to go over tho plush to prevont that from getting soiled. Next week I suppose she'll make a calico cover to protect the linen. Oh, I tell you, women have great big fertile minds,"—Chicago News. SUMMER COMFORT. § 4 * 3-.. , 8 What's nicerthana [PafftoEl n-i .n 11 iff comfortable home?

Switzerland will soon be entirely free of wild animals if the rate of ex tinction that has prevailed of late is maintained. In the official archives of Zurich are records of the various kinds of beasts that once existed in the land of the Red Cross. Evidences of heaver life have been found on the shores of Lake Morat, the bones and skeletons being fully six centuries old. One of the tributary streams which feed the lake is called Beaver Brook, the title being due to its former in habitants. That the name is old is shown by the fact that no beavers have lived in Switzerland since the twelfth or thirteenth century. Brown bears were plentiful in the mountain lands until the seventeenth century. The last one killed of which there is any official knowledge came to his end in 1693 in Barbereche. Nowadays the bears are raised in Berne for various show purposes. Deer were more than plentiful in the highlands in olden times, but they were cleaned out pret ty well in 1748 to 1750. There is a record in the Swiss archives that a deer was seen in the woods in 1871, but it was apparently far from its own stamping ground. Up to the sev enteenth century wolves were such plagues that several cantons offered substantial premiums for their heads and skins. It took ages to chase them off the plains, and fully 100 years more to clean them out of the highlands. Not a live wolf has been in Switzer land since 1837. The lynx disappeared about the same time. Wild boars were numerous in the fifteenth and six teenth centuries, but none has been encountered since 1880. A few wild cats are reported to have been shot since 1891, hut the authorities doubt the authenticity of the reports. No less than seven prominent kinds of quad rupeds have been exterminated in Switzerland in five centuries, not to mention the world-famouus wild goats or chamois. A few of the beautiful animala are raised and kept by the j landlords of some of the leading re- ! sorts to maintain the impression that ! chamois are part and parcel of the Swiss mountains. But they are do- ■ mesticated and are vastly different from the timid, lithe animals that no- i hility used to hunt and poets raved about. —New York Press. Oar Forost Reservation*.

It Is not realized In England how proud, indeed arrogant, the Chinese are. The Idea that any other race ia equal to their own Is one that can not find place in their brains. They believe all foreigners to be a sort of savages. They look at European men and women mixing together, and be lieve that these savages have no mor als, but live in a rough sort of promis cuity. They look at our dress, our men with short coats and nether gar ments showing their two-legged forms, our women actually indicating their waists and much of the outline ol their figure, and they believe we are without decency. They do not see us observing their ceremonial, and they believe we are without manners. A recent minister, accredited to Ger many, was talking to Sir Robert Harl before leaving Peking, and upon the latter's reg:e'ting his lonely condi tion without his wife, said to him: "Ah, but of course, you have a num ber tw fir Robert prooicded to ex plain that such a course was impossi ble to hliu, as it would make his wife very angry, and Indeed, srouso the sovereign displeasure of hi queen.
