His 1xesdss Course.

On the second day out one OF the
sailors on a White Star steamer had
bad fall and sustained severe cut on
his head. One of the ladies on board
was very solicitious about him, and in
quired of the captain that evening how
he was doing. Rough weather came
on, and she was compelled to forget the
wounded sailor in her own suffering.
Four days later, when she emerged
white and weak, from her stateroom,
she saw the poor sailor with strip of
plaster on his forehead. "How is your
head?" she asked, kindly, as he passed
by on some duty. ''West by south,
man." was the reply, delivered with
respectful but hasty clearness, and he
was gone.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
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 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fgs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

IMPROVED TOURIST sLEEPERs.

Railroads. Are Acceding to Demands OF
Middle Glasses Who Want Better
Sleeping-Car Service.
In response to the demand of the
times the o. r. & N. and its connec-
tions are placing in operation much
better grade of tourist sleepers for Pa.
cifc coast service than at any previous
time. The largely Increased traffic tc
this section of the country has de-
manded all the improvements of latter.
day transportation, and in considera-
tion of this the railroads are establish.
ing a service which is excellent in
every particular. Not only are the
wishes of the frst-class passengers
served, but those who are travelling to
and from the East on second-class tick
cts are splendidly cared for. There are
was time when a tourist sleeper ap.
pealed to a limited number of people
who were travelling on the cheap or
der, in every meaning of the term.
Now, however, there has been radical
change. With the better tourist sleep
ers in operation the class of passengers
has been improved, and one may now
travel upon them and enjoy all the
privileges of first-class sleeper at
greatly reduced rate.
Daily, on the o. R. 6 N. Eastbound
fast mail, is attached one of these latest
improved tourist sleepers, model OF
beauty and handsome appointments.
The new cars are almost an exact
counterpart of the first-class sleepers.
One noticeable feature of the new
tourist cars is the absence of smok-
ing apartment. The new cars being
built by the Pullman Company are not
porvided with smoking apartments.
This new departure has been taken be-
cause of the fact that most through
trains are provided with composite
cars, which provide smoker for the

The house currency caucus now in
session at Atlantic City is expected TO
finish its wCrk some time early in the
summer and to be ready to submit
some measure, or number Of meas
nres differing little in general princi-
pies, upon which the Republicans in
congress can strike compromise and
which will prove satisfactory to the
rank and file of the party as relief
from the present currency evils.
The early enactment of satisfac-
tory currency bill is believed 10 be for
The best interests Of the party. Many
Of the leaders are desirous OF dispos.
ing OF this question at special ses-
sion rather than risk the danger Of
delay until the campaign is fairly un-
Ter way, as will be the case IL no cur
rency legislation is undertaken until
The regular session which begins next
December. As it will take some time
for the house to organize and con.
siderable time will be consumed In the
senate passing any measure Of similar
Importance, in all probability no ac-
tion could be had until about the time
Of the national conventions. 1t is un,
1erstood that the president shares
this view, and is strongly inclined to
listen to the advice Of those who coun.
sci a special session,
Another consideration entering into
the question is the desire of leading
Republicans to make needed changes
In the present tariff act, and to pass
a bill increasing the army to a status
that will enable the government t.
leal successfully with any contingent
cy that may arise either in the Phil
