The World Enriched.

The facilities OF the present day for
the production OF everything that will
conduce to the mat .rial welfare and
comfort of mankind are almost UNI
limited and when Syrup of Figs was
first produced the world was e.lri he'd
with the only perfect laxative
known, as it is the only remedy
which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectual to cleanse the system gently
in the spring time or, in fact, at any
time and the better it is known the
more popular it becomes.

THE COLFAx WRECK.

A Number of Passengers Seriously
Iniured-The Work of Train Robbers.
Following are the particulars re-
garding the wreck OF passenger train
No. 4, near Colfax Monday morning:
The train consisted of four sleeping
cars, one baggage and two mail cars.
One sleeper broke from the train and
rolled down the embankment about
fifty feet. The porter of this car is
badly injured.
The train had between 80 and 100
passengers, many of whom were
scrat he'd and bruised, but no fatali-
ties are thus far reported. The cause
OF the accident was the lossening OF a
rail on curve, which is believed to
have been the work of unknown par
ties.
The bolts and nuts were taken out
OF the rail and it spread apart when
the train ran over it, The track is
torn up and the ties are splintered
for nearly 1000 feet. The engine,
fruit car and one coach got over in
safety, but the mail car jumped from
the rails without leaving the roadbed.
The sleeper shoshone jumped about
half way across the track and the
Pullman sleeper Santa Cruz was
thrown down an embankment and
badly mashed. About fifteen passen-
gers were in the coach but none were
seriously hurt. They were extricated
from their uncomfortable position,
where they almost smothered, by the
trainmen, who cut hole in the side
of the car. 1t is claimed that goods
to the value OF $1,000 or $4,000 are
still in the sleeper, consisting OF
iewelry and diamonds. One woman
was almost suffocated before released.
The wreck is supposed to have been
the work OF train robbers who were
trying to rob the mail car.
Railroad detective Ben True is en-
gagged in searching for the perpetra-
tors. 1t is said he has good reason to
believe he knows the men but Mr..
True will not say anything about the
matter.
The Daltons are supposed by many
to have had hand in it.
Much harm was done to the COM
pany's roadbed and rolling stock and
it was miracle that no lives were
lost. The track is now clear and rum
ming on time.
Those mostly hurt; are Geo. w.
Farnum of Los Angeles, shoulder
badly bruised James Colt, the porter
on the Santa Cruz sleeper, thigh in
jured by striking against the car;
Miss E. Cogswell from the east had
her back badly strained and bruised;
Annie Mclaughlin of Reno had her
ear badly cut and tora from its socket.
Others are slightly br Use AID cut.

directly against our common sense and per-
sonal observation. They might believe our

bears sliding cf the slippery icebergs when
it was upside down. simply because the
white man had told them 80. but nothing
would persuade them that when they felt
perfectly comfortable and warm loading

arms and legs were frozen and their noses
''nipped'' by the frost. / tried to explain
to them the effect Of the wind, but they
said they had known the wind to blow
them off their feet in summer and not
freeze them a particle. They said they

and here they stood firm in the belief we

at II degrees below, the clondless sky in

Pile experiment, and the white spots on the
clear ice give it a moss notified look. The
iced runners dragging over the fine, gritty
SHOWS give forth a clear, musical ring that
can be heard many miles in the still cold
of the Arctic. Sometimes when breathing

however, is so bitter cold that it becomes
absolutely necessary to breathe through

liable to freeze when breathing through
it. These f~reezings of the nose and cheeks
arc very common affairs in very low tenn
peraturss, especially when the wind blows.

Clothes for a Prinnn-

| have lately had occasion to notice
dresses ordered for Expresses and grand
duchesses, but they pale before the morning
gowns provided by a conturier a In mode
for Ferdinand, prince of Bulgaria. He has
passion for attiring himself in silken
sumptuosities. One of the gowns was in
electric blue, lined with the softest surah
over eiderdown, and affecting somewhat
the form Of princess robe, with embroid-
cries of passementerie in which steel and
lightning blue beads were mixed. The
sash was of soft brocaded silk ribbon, hav-
ing pattern to match in tone with the
passementerie.
A creamy white silk surah shirt, having
breast rutfles of point lace, and pale, old
rose brocaded inexpressibles, taking the
form of a divided skirt, with blue stock
ings, embroidered with old-rose floss, and
blue slippers matching the sash completed
the costume which l was told is to be worn
at a morning concert. Buttons studded
with brilliants and Turkish cap of satin,
having a diamond aigrette in front, were
to be the finishing touches"
The prince is as aesthetic us any English
worshiper of the sunflower. A gown for
an evening concert was in amber brocade,
lined with another shade of yellow satin,
and bordered round the neck and down
the front with amber beads and yellow,
fluffy ostrich feathers. The shirts were in
yellow silk, fronted with mousseline de
sole couleur SQUIRE, arranged in a kind of
drapery, and with ruffles of the same ma
terial. The ladies of the Corps Diploma
tique at Sofia delight in the young rulers

Consultation at Sea.

A certain physician in large New Eng

reputation for making his bills as large ms
possible without much regard to the state
of his patients purses. There were people
who Furthermore said that it really seemed
us if there were Visits" on his bills which
had never had existence anywhere else.
But he was a skillful physician, and his
tendency to overrate his services only
served to amuse some of his patients who
had plenty of money and were not especial
ly sharp in looking after It,
"Why," said one man to another, speak
ing of the doctor, che brought my daugh-
ter Jennie up from her attack of pneu-
monia, when two other physicians had
said there was no hope for her, but when
she was quite well again he charged me for

"That seems little forced" admitted
the other man, but it's nothing compared
to an experience had with him at the sea
shore.
