the skull. On examining the
body of another yak which he
killed, he found that seven bullets
had lodged in his chest, and stuck
there like row Of buttons. And
yet the brute kept charging until
he fell deadl The Mongols are
terribly afraid of the wild yak; but
their gluttony sometimes oyercomos
their fears, and for the sake of its
beef they go out in parties of ten
and deliver a volley from their
matchlocks while safely hidden in
some ambush. We need not dwell
upon the extreme usefulness of the
yak when domesticated. Next to
the camel, it is the "Ship of the
desert" and indeed, surpasses that
animal as a beast of burden in high
ATTITUDES, for the camel cannot
climb precipitous passes where the
yak is quite at home.

The Yak OF Northern Thlbst.

BlnckwOOd's Magazinc.l
This handsome beast is of extra
ordinary size and beauty, measur-
ing, when full grown, eleven feet
in length, exclusive Of its bushy
tail, which is three feet long. Its
hight at the hump is six feet, and
the head is adorned with ponderous
horns. The body is covered with
thick black hair, which in the old
males assumes u chestnut color on
the back and upper parts of the
sides. 1t roams in unrestricted
freedom among the inhospitable
wastes of Northern Thibet, but is
found also farther north. Although
endowed with acute sense of smell,
its sight and hearing are defective,
and even on a clear day, and on
level ground, it cannot distinguish
a man at any great distance but it
will scent him half a mile to
windward. Wild-yak shooting is a
dangerous pastime, for when
wounded it will often attack its
pursuers. Such is the toughness Of
its hide and strength of Its bone,
that a bullet aimed at the body very
seldom wounds mortally; and one
fired from afirst-rate rifle fails to
penetrate the skull unless it hits
the brain-pan. If it were not for
its stupidity and indecision, Pre-
jevalsky says that it would be a
more formidable foe than a tiger.
He describes his slaughter of one,
at which he and M, Pyltseff and
one of his Cossacks fred yolley after
volley with their rifles, and al
though he frequently fell, he rose
and charged them until he stopped,
and it was then too dark to con-
tinue the fire. Next morning
they found him dead, with thir-
teen bullets in his body and three

Mahon yesterday. The President as
sured him that Parliment was in nc dan
ger; neither its existance nor functions
as established by the constitution would
be threatened The appreLensions
of coup d etat were baseless and he
repelled all indictments to such solu-
ton. The President listened to NJ.
Grevy's arguments for reverting to a
parliamentary regime, but although he
did not pronounce for any other solu-
tion he seemed not to accept NJ. Grevy's

al consequences of war and it's long
train of horrors. They hate the Yam
KEGS as heartily as the Texan flibusters
hate the "greasers, and they are suffic-
iently vain to consider themselves equal
to whipping any army that could be
brought against them. This feeling OF
distrust and animosity is undoubtedly
shared by some of the men who have
influence in shaping the policy Of the
Mexican Republic. But we do not
believe that this is true to any extent
which could be called dangerous.

A Cure for Diphtheria.

We clip the following from the
Cleveland Herald, for its possible WI
ue, as the dreaded disease diphihera Is
prevailing In many parts of the country
and may be worth trying.
''Should any of your family be at
tackled with the diphthera do not be
alarmed, as it is usually and speedily
cured without a doctor. When it was
raging in England few years ago. I
accompanied DR.. Fields on his rounds
and witnessed the so called wonderful
cures he performed while the patients
were dropping on all sides. ALL he
took with him was powdered sulphur
and quill, and with these he cured
every patient without exception. He
put spoonful Of -four of birthstone
into wine glass of water and stirred
it with his finger instead of spoon. rs
the sulphur does not readily amalga-
mate with water. When the sulphur
was we'll mixed he gave it as gargle,
and in ten minutes the patient was out
of danger. Birthstone kills every
species of fungus in man, beast and
plant in a few minutes. Instead OF
splitting out the gargle he recommend
ed the swallowing of it. In extreme
cases, in which he had been called lust
In the nick of time, when the fungus
was too nearly closing to allow gargling.
he blew the sulphate through a quill
into the throat, and after the fungus
had shrunk to allow of 1t, then the
gargllng. He never lost a patient of
diphtheria.
If the patient cannot gargle, take a
live coal, put it on a shovel, and
spoonful or two Of -four of birthstone ut
time upon it; let the sufferer inhale
it, and the fungus will die. If plenti-
fully used, the whole room may be filed
almost to sufocation, and the patient
can walk about in 1t, inhaling the
fumes with doors and windows closed.
The mode of fumigating a room with
sulphur has often cured most violent
attacks of cold in the head, chest, etc
at any time, and is recommended in
cases of consumption and asthma"

The SALE OF KARs.-Some Gre
dence is given to the story that the
Russian capture of Kars was facilita-
ted by treachery Of an unnamed Pasha,
who, it is said, went to the Russian
camp with a small guard, and gave
valuable information of the condition
of the Turkish works and their most
assallable points, and then returned to
his position in time to throw it open to
the approaching Russian column. The
outer walls thus gained, the story goes,
commanded other positions sufficiently
make successful assault compare.

matters are properly adjusted and re-
sumo their wonted course. Troops
constantly parade the streets. They
surround the city, and watch all fol-
