Collie Cared by Standing on the
Head.

Head.
DR.. d. l.. Phares, in Trans. Mississippi
State Ned. association, 1878, recommends
as a prompt and effectual cure in many
cases Of collie, to place the patient in an in
verted posture. Some cases which have
resisted the ordinary treatment for hours
and even days, have by this simple means
been relieved and permanently cured in
from one to five minutes. Sometimes relief
appears to be afforded by the escape of air.
In other instances, the air in the bowels
changes its place, to the relief Of the pa
tent. Some movement of gas in the intes-
tines appears to be essential to relief by
this method. OF course it ia only fatulent
collie which can be permanently relieved by
this treatment. Tho Pacific Medical and
Surgical Journal says: The confidence
with which DR.. Phares asserts the success
OF the plan entities 1t to trial. The treat
ment could be easily applied in popular
practice. The patient might at least be
held up BY the heels till the arrival Of the
doctor.

Studying Up COlorado's Mining
Resources.

The C~oloradans, since their State organ-
ization, have made wonderful strides in
their mining studies and developments.
They have established a School Of Mines,
at Golden City, IA miles west Of Denver
on the Colorado Central Railroad, and it is
managed by men Of talent, and men who
are acquainted with the geological forma-
ton Of Colorado from boundary to bound
airy. We refer to its President, w. A. H..
Loveland, and its Secretary, Captain Ber-
thond.
Everybody in Colorado is interested to
develop her mines; they give good prem
iums at their State and County Fairs for
specimens of ores. In fact. this feature of
the Fairs takes the lead Of crochet work,
dog shows, etc., by long odds.
This school is well situated. being inside
Of the hog-back, and at the very foot Of
the Rookie s; convenient to communicate
with the various mining districts of the
State. 1t is endowed by the State, and
is well equipped with a chemical and assay
laboratory. mineral cabinet. and other
apparatus requisite for such an institution.
Thu specially of the school il mining. en-
cheering and metallurgy. Its proximity
to the most celebrated mines n smelling
works Of Colorado affords the student
every facility to obtain a thorough knowl-
edge Of mining operations, and particu-
larly Of the treatment Of the refractory
ores Of that State. Stud nts have the
privilege Of visiting the works ct any time,
and inspecting all the operations. and thus
rendering themselves practically as well az
theoretically familiar with the works. 1t
is proposed to have u vacation course next
season, in which the students will visit all
Of the principal mines and works in the
State, remaining a long enough time at
each for thorough instruction in the de-
tails of the various mining and metal
lurgical processes. This course will be
under the immediate charge of the head Of
the institution. and Of the professor of
&c ,logy. 1t will be endeavored to obtain
special excursion rates on the various rail-
roads over which the students will travel.
in order to render the expense Of this trip
as small as possible.
The course will be open to others than
those on the roll Of stud nts and any one
DESTROYS Of taking this vacation course
without pursuing the regular course Of
studies in the school, may do SO on appli-
cation. This offers an excellent Oppor-
tunity to students in the Eastern colleges
to spend their vacation in a manner which
will be both agreeable and of benefit. The
officers Of the college are: President, w.
A. II. Loveland. President of the Colorado
Central Railroad; and Secretary, Z. L..

road. The faculty are: Milton Moss,

A Lion.ramer,s Narrow Escape.

Charles Donley, the lion-tamer. Of De-
troit. Michigan, who was attacked by one
Of his lions on the 10th Of the month, at
Hamden, Ohio, is some better, though
confined to his bed and suffering consider
able pain from the wound, which is a seri-
Gus one on the inside Of the thigh, near
the large artery, and on the outside of the
leg, where it was bruised by the tusks of
the lion, it is healing, aud will be lanced.
He has suffered from severe pain in the
lower part Of his bowels, and from great
soreness through his breast. caused prob
ably from the blow, as this was the first Of
the attack. Donley was sitting On him,
and, as he raised to his feet, the lion quick
as a flash struck him on the left breast,
which caused him to sink to the floor in q
sitting posture. As he was down the brute
grabbed him by the leg. Donley dubbed
him over the head and the lion left him.
Donl-y proved himself a hero. In a faint
ing condition he raised to his feet and held
to the bars until he regdined strength, and
then he separated the lions to their respec-
tive dens. closed the doors and fastened
them securely and then came out. What
seems so strange about the affair is Donlcy
fretting about the welfare Of his ferocious
lions; is afraid the boys won't take care Of
them, II says as soon as he is able to so
on crutches he is going in and warm them
up for their rudeness. But it will be some
time before Charley secs his pets, as he Is
not past the danger point.

The wise man selleth at high figures.
but the fool holdeth on like death unto the
moribund Ethiop.
When the stock is high. the inflated
holder swelleth with conceit and speaketh
at SAC he standeth of his tailor for his
raiment.
The callow operator. fresh from his ma
tive goose pasture, saweth the air with his
fOrefinger and telleth the future OF q mine;
but the man whose beard il white with the
SHOWS Of many winters knoweth not what
the day may bring forth and keepeth his
mouth shut, after the manner Of the clam
at low tide.
The ways Of the Superintendent are past
finding out, and the expert lieth like the
adder in the path to bite the heel Of the
venturesome and trusting. .
Every man lieth unto his neighbor, and
deceit and fraud fill the habitations Of the
money seekers.
For . break in stocks Is like the flames
Of fire devouring the harvest and eating up
the stubble of the wheat.
The call for mud goeth into every house,
hold, and the land ia filed with lamenta-
ions and wailing.
But be not faint Of heart or cast down
Of spirit, for the good time is near 1t
hand, even unto our doors.
When the market will be revived like a
giant refreshed with wine. and the wealth
Of Indus will pour into the pockets Of the
nervy.
Then the land will smile with plenty and
whisky will flow like water at two bits .
drink.
