sPAIN's SOLDIERS.
As Compared with the Yankee Doys

An Englishman, writing In London
paper, says that physically the Yankee
Tommy Atkins Is q fine fellow enough
-deep-chosted, bull-throated, and hard
as nails. You win never find ina United
States regiment the understood weak
lings so common in many armies. The
reason Is that the high rates OF pay at-
tract 10 the colors many more recruits
than are actually required, Of whom Of
course only the best are enlisted. Tho
men are, almost without exception. ex-
cellent shots. The reason FOR this IS not

part in q wild and unsettled country,
rifle practice, confined with US, so far as
the individual soldier Is concerned, TO a
few weeks in each year, is with them
unceasing. There are no costly ranges
to maintain, nor Is it necessary to erect
butts Tho target, q paper ono on a
framework Of iron, Is set up outside tho
fort stockade. and the squads 90 down

rounds before breakfast. Besides THIS,
there is usually more or less game IN the
vicinity, and hunting parties arc con-

HARNESS BELLS.
Something New Resulting from Rub
ber Tires, nubber Pads and As
phnlted Streets.


While they are still by no means
common, there has been in the past
three months a considerable increase
in the use Of harness bells in this city.
They are attached chiefly to the harness
Of horses driven to carriages. While
this increase may be due in some meas
ure to the following Of custom, the pur-
pose Of the bells Is TO give warning
of the vehicles approach, such warning
having become more aud more neces-
sary owing to the greatly increased use
of rubber-tired wheels, and rubber-pad-
ded shoes for horses, following the
widespread increase Of asphalt pave
ment. When all these causes combine
the approach of horses and vehicles is
made comparatively noiseless. The
bells are as yet chiefly used on private
carriages, but they are occasionally
seen on public carriages, mostly ham
SONS.
The bells most commonly used are
like those made for sleighs and gilt
finished or silver-plated to match the
furniture Of the harness. In pair-horse
harness The bell is buclsled to the coup
ling links that attach the names TO-
gethor; in singie-horse harness it is
attached to the hame chain or mar
tingale ring.
The use Of harness bells Is far more
common In Paris and London. in both
of which cities it is required by law

THE EXCELLENCE on SYRUP on FIGS


is due not only to the originality and
simplicity Of The combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known TO the CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA Fro SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given 60 millions of families, makes
the name Of the Company a guaranty
OF the excellence Of its remedy It is
far in advance Of all other laxatives,

Long In Iitigntion.

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-The Hale a
Norcross case has departed forever from
the courts. That Is to say. so far as the
long-pending litigation between President
NJ. w. Fox and the old directors of the
corporation IL concerned The final judg-
ment In the case was entered by Superior
Judge Hibbard this morning in accord
ance with the second and last instruc-
tions received from the supreme court OF
the state. The Judgment orders the de-
PENDANTS to pay the plaintiff stockhold-
ers $2l0.101.5o with interest from June,
1892. This money will be paid on Monday
without fail. IL now remains to be seen
who will receive the money. and there Is
talk OF further litigation. The trouble will
arise over the question whether the stock
holders are TO benefit by the amount OF
the judgment. less a sum OF S.. SO in
costs, or the corporation itself. II is now
eight years since the first proceedings
Mere taken.
