A SiaIneae Swell.

One of my neighbors was an inter
esting creature, and evidently well
pleased with himself. He wore long
finger nails, and seeing me look at him
spread out his left hand, evidently 70,
my admiration. On the fourth finger
he wore a large Chinese ring, and all
the nails were long, particularly
those of the fourth and fifth fingers,
which had grown to length Of at
least an inch. They looked like huge
claws, especially when he tried to pick
up anything from the seat. The
owners of such nails regard them with
extreme satisfaction, and cultivate
them so carefully that they sometimes
attain prodigious length.
They are largely affected by Siamese
and Chinese clerks, who fancy them
selves exquisites. 1t is supposed to
indicate the fact that their owners do
40 manual work. Curiously enough,
in so far off place as Mexico, the
same idea exists; but there it is gener-
ally confined to the little finger.
10 not know what else he had to be
proud about, unless it was his right
leg, which was elaborately tattooed
above the knee. He was dressed in
only panung, and to cord around
his waist was attached wallet for his
tobacco, betelnut, etc. He also carried
some food wrapped in piece of green
plantain leaf. -Gentleman's Mag azine.

Capital Punishment" in Switzerland.
Because the existing laws of the
Canton of Geneva saved Lucoheni,
the murderer of the Empress Of Aus
tria, from death by law, it has been
generally assumed abroad, even by
editors, that ''capital punishment" is
no longer in force in Switzerland.
The fact seems unknown or forgotten
that the Swiss Cantons occupy toward
the federation a position similar to
that of our States toward the Union.
In Switzerland there are still as many
penal codes as there are Cantons and
half Cantons-twsnty-tive. Capital
punishment" was, indeed, abolished
throughout the republic by federal
law, in 1874 think; but a subsequent
increase in the number of murders
brought about a change in public
opinion on the question, and the sew
eral Cantons were again invested
with the right to take "life for life,"
so that now the laws of some Cantons
impose death as the extreme penalty,
while the lawmakers of the others de-
cline to do so. I know of at least one
murderer who was sentenced to death
in the Canton of Schaffhausen last
year. The Communication of his SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life was re-
ceived with surprise and not at all
favorably by the people of the said
Canton.-A Letter in the New York
Sun.

Money-Making Elephants.

Three elephants earn $40, 900 year.
This is $4,000 more than the salary OF
a member OF the Presidents cabinet
and $4,000 less than the income of an
Admiral in the navy, rank done away
with because Congress thought the
salary too high. These elephants are
are at the London Zoo, and they earn
their money by carrying on their backs
the patrons of the gardens. Every
AIRY takes his 'Arriet and hies him
to the Zoo on bank holidays, and for
five cents they can jog about the ring
on the back of one of the elephants.
The elephants are stationed in diff
ferent parts of the Zoo. and there
seems to be bit of professional ieal-
ousy between them. Apparently they
are on very good terms between hours,
but when business is brisk and the
largest one is coming money, for he
is the favorite, the other two try to
lash him with their trunks as he
passes.
The larger elephant is a financial
record breaker. He is the senior men,
Der of the firm, so to speak. On one
holiday he carried 1000 persons.

THR EXCELLENCE QF SYRUP QF FIGs

THE EXCEL LLENCE OF SYRUP OF 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 FIG 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 FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup Of Figs
given to millions of families, makes
the name Of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

Greater Ell PasO.

To the public:
Presenting that the reader of this ar
ticle Is an Ell Pasoan or as least inter-
ested in the development OF the coming
great city of the southwest, We invite
his attention to the following plan for
ing and special editions have long been
regarded as the most advantageous
method sof advertising a community,
but heretofore many of the main feat
ures of advantage have been omitted.
We are now engaged on building
edition of the International Industrial
Record, to consist of not less than TO-
and to be the most thorough and at
tractive publication of the kind ever
seen in this section. AS an advertis-
ing medium its advantages will be un-
equaled, while it will be q lasting re-
cord of the city and county and es-
pecially of the phenomenal growth
made by Ell Paso in the last two years.
The chief purpose OF this edition Is
to satisfy the people OF the United
States and Mexico that during the last
"a months Ell Paso has made greater
and more substantial growth than has
any other city in the country; and to
this end it is our plan not only to write
that SO many buildings have been
erected at such and such cost, but to
present several hundred pictures Illus
trating the old and the new residences,
the public buildings. and the various
business Adjustments.
This ia a broad and up to date plan OF
advertising and promotion, the equal
of which has never been undertaken in
this part of the country; and to make
1t brilliant success we must have the
assistance of the property holders and
business men of the city. We want
cuts of your residences. pictures of
your business blocks, interior views of
your stores and factories, advertise
ments of your business-everythin
needed to present a complete picture OF
Ell Paso as it is today.
The work will be the finest produc-
able by typographical art, the copies
will be judiciously distributed through
| out the country and the edition will be
| ready for the opening of the fall and
winter season. 1t will be placed in
the hands of the strangers visiting the
coming carnival, and it will also be
| largely distributed at the Dallas fair.
Think the matter over and when our
agent calls upon you, be prepared to
give US your valuable support. alike
| for the benefit of yourself and Of the
city, in whose continued growth we are
all SO vitality Interested.
