work of art, but it is suspected of Ub

„ then applied to a frame of split huin

K'iinese or Japanese parasol. Inside the

split into slender strands and woven
about tbe umbrella ribs. Tbe whole

the ribs and the little rivets used in

Kenosha. Wi .. women have gone
into n scheme f r making their town a
regular "Bird C' ty." They have formed
a club, which t ally every villager has
joined, for 1) iag bird restaurants
in their front hack gardens. Each
member of the tub has agreed to erect
a tall pole wi a shelf on top largo
enough to holt a saucer of water and
a tray of fo :. which will contain
seeds, lettuce, alt ebone and any other
dainties birds rave.
Once the bird restaurants become
popular with Kenosha's birds, tlie
1 women believe the feathered onc3
will Impart the glad tidings to their
neighbors In other suburbs, and Ken
osha in a little while will have a. mon
opoly of the songsters of the North
shore.
Some of the women will even go
further than to establish bird eating
houses. Moss and other nesting ma
terial will bt laced in the trees, where
it will be easy access, and the
women reus, that, with all this liome
butldlng ma -rial at hand, the birds
will look no , urtker for a cozy spot In
which to settle and begin housekeep

Increase of Cheap Telephones In Chicago.
It Is only a year ago that the nickel
in-the-slot telephone was introduced iu
Chicago. Now the demand for this
- lass of Instruments Is enormous, as
I they fill a place hitherto unprovided
I for in the telephone service of that
(city. Two classes of nlekol-ln-the-slot
machines are used—one cn a two-party
and the other ten-party line service.
The rate at which these instruments
are put tu is limited only by the rapid
[ ity with v hick they eau be turned out
rom the factory, and the necessary
! wires run nil provisions made on the
exchange switchboard; in fact, the
company is overwhelmed with new

Tlie recurrence of a foggy season
directs attention again to a serious
municipal problem. It causes us to
wonder whether tlie heaviness of the
atmosphere of Philadelphia Is due
most to the dampness or to the soot
and gas which are emitted from every
! flu<- and chimney pot, and are unable
in ascend during these periods of me
teorological depression. It is a well
known fact that a London "particular"
is little more than the smoke of the
great metropolis, which for the time
being refuses to rise and overwhelms
man and beast. The heavy atmosphere
of Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Cleveland

i aggravated, becoming at times In

fSilillp
A Now Solution.
THE -world may become indebt
ed to Russiafora new method
of overland transportation.
The device in question la that
of Prince Khilkoff, the Czar's Minister
of Wayd and Communication, and la
so simple that one is inclined to won
der that it was not thought of before.
The plan contemplates the employment
of automobiles of from three to six
horse power for hauling ordinary carts
over tramways made of boards, sheet
iron, cement or any material that may
be found readily at hand. Stone, iron
and wooden tramways have been used
for transportation from time Immemo
rial; traction road engines are not new,
nor can the idea of drawing farmers'
or carters' wagons in trains front farm
to factory to the nearby market towns
or railway centres be regarded as a
novelty. The traction engines hith
erto thought of in this connection,
however, are comparatively slow, ex
pensive and so heavy that a consider
able portion of the power generated
by them would be required to haul
their own weight. Moreover, a pre
requisite for their successful employ
ment Is a hard, smooth and costly road.
Prince Khilkoff's initial experiments
were conducted in the park surround
ing his home. Ordinary sleepers were
laid down, and upon these two lines
of planks were nailed. Instead of rails,
at a distance apart corresponding to
that of the nutomobile wheels. Wood
cn combings were placed on the outer
sides of the planks as guards, to pre
vent the machine from leaving the
track. With an ordinary three and
one-half horse power carriage a cart
laden with bricks, and weighing with
its contents nearly two tons, was
easily hauled over the Wooden tram
way at a speed of twelve vcrsts an
hour. The estimated cost of n tram
way constructed like the foregoing is
less than 2000 rubles per verst, while
the cheapest macadamized road would
cost five times as much. The first prac
tical experiment of the new system is
to be made between Tsarkoe-Selo and
the new water works, which are being
built a few versts from that city. The
line will he laid over swampy ground,
where an ordinary road could not be
built. Various substances will be tried
for the new automobile rails, such as
iron, cement and different Iliads of
wood.
In the event of the success of this
experiment, of which there is no rea
sonable doubt, the system Is to be ex
tended throughout the empire as n sup
plementary means of transportation
between points not reached by rail
ways. Another consideration moving
the Russian Minister to extend the sys
tem is the impracticability of ordinary
Russian roads for carriages and carts
in the spring and autumn, when the
wheels are apt to sink hub deep into
mire. The considerations are as valid
in the greater part of this country as
they are in Russia, and it is quite pos
sible that the general adoption of
Prince Khilkoff's plan would be the
solution of the haulage problem in the
rural districts of the United States.
An automobile can be bought at a price
but little exceeding that of a team of
horses, and costs incomparably less to
keep. The cheapness of the timbpr
tramway would lay the road tax bogy,
which fills farmers with apprehension
whenever improved roadways are
mentioned. The point which would
count most heavily in favor of the
tramway principle is its adaptability
£o all locations. On any sort of soil
the sleepers and board rails could be
laid with equal celerity and ease. No
clay would be too soft, nor sand too
deep for it; the road could be made to
follow the rubble stone bank of dry
river, and it would not be necessary to
make long detours around marsh
lands. On grounds of economy and
general utility, the plan appeals to one
so strongly that It would be surprising
if some of the freeholders or supervis
ors of our progressive rural communi
ties should not give it an early trial.—
New Sfethotl of Road Building.
A novel system of road construction
bn3 been successfully resorted to in
Monmouth, 111. The ground was pre
pared for It by grading and being al
lowed to remain so for two months.
It was treated to an occasional scrap
ing, so that It would pack evenly, be
ing thus rendered hard and even for
the laying of a surfnde of brick, the
chief constructive feature. The first
tiling was the setting of a curbing,
made of two by six inch plnuks seven
l'eet apart, held by oak stakes eighteen
inches long and put down every four
feet. Inside of this was a five-inch
bed of sand, ail evened up, and a single
course of No. 1 paving brick then put
down, a fine roadbed being thus ob
tained. Outside the curb two feet of
crushed rock were laid, graded up to
make an easy approach, this plan in
suring away of eleven feet in width,
and, as the earth on each side was
graded and worked, there was alto
gether a width of some forty feet, af
fording trucks on each side for use In
dry weather. Such a brick road costs
snout ninety* cents a running foot.

Old Joe* the Night Watchmen#
TFrom the Pall Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late on •
dreary winter'a night has our sympathy
gone out to the poor old night watchman
as he eat huddled up over his cage fire,
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or otherwise,
allow the different water companies to
make so frequently in our congested
streets. In all weathers, and under all cli
matic conditions, the poor old night watch
man is obliged to keep watch over the
companies' property, and to see that the
red lights are kept burning. What a life,
to be sure; what privations and hardships;
they have aches and pains, which nothing
but St. Jacobs Oil can alleviate.
"Old Joe" is in the employ of the Lam
beth Water Works, and is well and favour
bly known. He has been a night watch
man for many years, in the courso of
which he has undergone many expe
riences. What with wet and cold, he con
tracted rheumatism and sciatica, which fair
ly doubled him up, and it began to look a
serious matter for old Joe whether he
would much longer be able to perform his
duties, on which his good wife and himself
depended for a livelihood, but as it hap
pened a passer-by, who had for some
nights noticed Old Joe's painful condition,
presented him with a bottle of St. Jacobs
Oil, and told him to use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given; ho crawled
home the next morning and bade his wife
rub his aching back with the St. Jacobs
Oil "a gentleman gave him," and undoubt
edly his wife did rub, for when Old Joe
went on duty at night he met his friend
and benefactor, to whom he remarked:
"Them oils you gave me, Guv'nor, did
give me a doing; they wuz like pins and
needles for a time, but look at me now,*
and Old Joe began to run and jump about
like a young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gono; he had been telling
everybody he met what St. Jacobs Oil
had done for him. Old Joe says now he
has but one ambition in life, and that is
to always to be able to keep a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil by him, for he says there is
nothing like it in the world.
St. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and the
poor, high and low, the same way. It has
conquered pain for fifty years, and it will
do the same to the end of time. It has no
equal, consequently no competitor; it has
many cheap imitations, but simple facts
like the above tell an honest tale with
which nothing on earth can compete.

ij The Distinctive Value
B|jp of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
9 objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
1 as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
fl requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
I production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
| for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
| effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
] naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.
\ To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
Hp ) medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup
jUP | of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not
Bp I weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
|H j dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
®|| i excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
HP j laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,
111 l j or the robust man.
V-.- VI Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
Hp : of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
HP i juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
j|P j when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not
|||j| j only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
||p % manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
|||| | therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
||§g | the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. —printed on the front
||jj 1 of every package.

WHEN RUSSIANS EAT.
No Fixed Meal Time—Many Peculiar
ities at Table.
The Russian has no fixed meal time.
He eats when he is hungry, which is
often. He has about six square
meals a day. He has at least a doz
en lunches, a little bit of salt fish
or some caviare, or a piece of bread
and cheese, washed down with a nip
of fiery vodki. He never passes a
station without a glass of tea —marvel-
ous tea, with a thin slice of lemon
floating in it. You get a fondness for
Russian tea, and forswear hemilked
decoctions forever. The table man
ners of the Russian —such as you see
in hotels and buffets—are not pleas
ing. He sprawls with outstretched
elbow on the table, and gets his
mouth down to his food rather than
raise the food to his mouth. He
makes objectionable noises In his
throat. He has a finger bowl, and
rinses his mouth as the rest of us
do when cleaning our teeth in our
bathrooms. Then he squirts the wa
ter back into the bowl.
Thackeray's House.
The house which Thackeray built
for himself in Kensington has recent
ly been sold by the son of the auc
tioneer who sold it for the first time
37 years years ago. When the great
novelist decided to build, many people
thought he was putting too great a
strain on his pen, but events have
shown that the speculation was a
sound one, for last week this house
went for $75,000. It is a red brick
mansion, screened from the road, and
the lease has 41 years to run.
