Fewer Empty Cars.

The largest decrease in the number Of
surplus freight cars which has taken
place in any fortnight since the improve
ment in business began is shown in the
report of the committee on car efficiency
of the American Railway association,
which gave a decrease of 50.562 in the
number of surplus freight cars between
September 10 and September 2, the date
of the previous report An encouraging
feature of this very large decrease is
that more than half of the total, or 81
800. were box cars in which are carried
higher grades of merchandise than those
transported in open cars The number
Of idle cars in the country as shown in
this report, has now been reduced to
1862. compared with the maximum
Of 413.338 recorded on April 20.

General Demand

OF the WeIl-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark.
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the ell-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale
by sill leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

ANDREW JoHNsoN's END.
To the Last He Was Bitter Against Gen
Grant.

William H. Crooks "reminiscences Of
ANDREW johnson in the White House
deal in The Century with that Presi-
dents impeachment, trial and acquittal,

considered his enemies whom Mr.. John

hotel-the old Willard, on Pennsylvania
avenue. / found him, on nearer view,

older, of course; there was more gray
in his hair; his whole face looked
bleached, He seemed finer to me; not
less strong, but more delicate. There
were no more lines in his face those

that was all.

Propitiating a Chinese God

At Wang Kong village, in the San Wui
district, there was a certain god in the
Tin Hau temple, over which there was a
hole on the roof, exactly above the head
of this god. One of the worshippers no
ticed this and said to the other villagers
that he had had a dream that, as the
gods head was suffering by the leaking
of the water from the roof. to any man
who subscribed money to have the tenn
pie thoroughly repaired the god would
promise prosperity and good harvest,
A big sum of money was therefore sub
scribed within few days, and a huge
illumination, accompanied by theatrical
performance, viii take place in a few
days to propitiate this god.-South China

AS shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton this fan somewhat resembles the
electric fan, being made of metal and
has similar revolving paddles. The lat
ter are joined on a shaft which is
mounted on a stationary handle. Con
nected with the shaft are gear wheels
and lever, the latter being in posi-
ton to be pushed by the thumb when
the handle is held in the hand. The oc-
casional operation Of the lever causes
the paddles to revoive continuously in
one direction. The more quickly the
lever is operated the more rapidly the
paddles revolve, the current of mir be-
ing thus readily controlled. 4 person
reading or otherwise occupied where
the use of the hands is not essential,
can easily keep himself cool with this
fan with little effort on his part.
