A Swindling Doctor.

Dr. Richard J. Richards lacked money in San Francisco, and this was his way of getting some: Lounging with mock careiessness into the office of MT. Ried, 8 man whom he had met but 8 few times before, he suddenly started into assumed alarm as he looked in tently at him. "Why. MT. Ried," said the doctor, "you are very ill." "Non- sense," replied MT. Reid. "I never felt better in my life, barring slight headache" "You are mistaken" per sisted the doctor you are very sick, and if you are not very careful you'll have brain fever. Better go right home, where I can attend you, and perhaps we can drive it off" Mir. Reid was alarmed, and fancied that he really was beginning to feel very badly. The doctor went home with him, applied ice to his head, and rubbed croton oil on his breast. Then, when Mrs. Reid handed him 8 ten-dollar bill from which to take pay for his visit, he put it in his pocket without handing back any change, and went away. Reid soon found himself in such condition from the effects of the croton oil that he was forced to send. for a physician in good standing to attend him, and it was several days before he could leave his room. When he did come out he went in search of Richards, and gave him 8 couple of blows on the head with his clenched fist. Richards supposed that he had been, struck with sand club, and had Reid arrested on a charge of assault with deadly weapon but upon tha examination in the police court the faota were brought eak The cad is net yet

A Snow Flower.

One of the grandest objects which meets the eye of the traveller in Califor- nia mountains is the exquisite plant, the Snow Plant of the Sierras-th Sar- codes SanguSneo of John Torrey, the botanist. It is an inhabitant only of the higher Sierras, being rarely found below an altitude of 4,000 feet, and it's glorious crimson spike of flowers may be seen early in May forcing, itself through the snows which at that period cling about the sides of our pine for ests. The portion of the plant which is visible above the soil is bright rosy crimson in color, and presents the very strongest contrast to the dark green of the pines and the shimmer of the snow. Its root is succulent, thick, and abun- dantly free of moisture, attaching it. self to the roots of other plants, prin- cipally to the species of the pine fam fly. Hence it is among those curious members of the vegetable world which are known to botanists as parasites, and is consequently entirely incapable of cultivation. The deer, are extremely fond of it, and 1t IS not an uncommon circumstance to find number of the plants uprooted and robbed of the feshy part of their underground growth by these animals. It belongs to the natural order OrobanchdceG, and is met with through the whole of the Sierra region, becoming rarer as we ap- proach the south. 2'l-| t'5' '~
