New York, Nov. 20.-According to
The Journal and Advertiser, the best
men in the United States secret ser
vice and the cleverest inspectors in
the postoffice department are at pres
ent working in the attempt to discover
the details of a new green goods
scheme which was worked until a
week ago from Manhattan and which
is at. present being operated from
Jersey City and from Chicago. The
victims are second, third and fourth
class postmasters, who do not dare
complain to the authorities.
1t is said that since the 1st of July
over 1000 postmasters have been
swindled out of sums ranging from
$3.50 to $1,000. The principle of the
game is the same as that of the old
fashioned green goods game, but in
this twentieth century bunco game
only poSImdSIefS are invited ana Jney

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA F'IG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin 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 it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP
Co only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

A school Letter Exchange.

Professor Metcalf. Supervisor of the
Boston schools, has introduced a plan
for getting young pupils Interested in
geography. which consists In getting
children In the North to correspond
with others in the South, and children
in the East to exchange with others in
the West. The children are encour-
aged to ten about the products, etc,
of their own locality, and this being IA
subject they are familiar with, they
can write interestingly. The letters are
passed round and exchanged and the
benefits of the system are multiplied;
the writing of the letters itself being a
splendid exercise, while the reading of
those received from other schools slim
ulates interest In the regular lessons.
The system is one which n be widely
applied, of course.-The Pathfinder.

In Popular Science. The trial was
made last summer, with u poison ivy
leaf. That plant was selected on
recount Of Its extreme hardness and

On July II a portion OF the tip OF
the leaf was torn away without de-
taching the leaf from the vine. The
tearing force was exerted at right an
giles TO the long axis of the leaf, in
order that as many veins would be in

the direction Of least resistance to this
force lay parallel with the veins.

while the inner portions of the injured

flying glass showed no vein building

thought the leaf dying. on August 10,
the injury being then thirty-seven days
old, he removed the leaf and examined
It beneath the microscope. A very dis

All the broken veins and smaller ducts
were r~ecOnnected by a new terminal
