somc $3.50, 600, and with the ez-
ception Of sufficient kiIns was ready
for business in the latter year. The
City Of Duluth gave $4,000 in
bonds, and JAY Cooke Is Co., and
L. w Clark & Co. were heavy
toc1-hoIders. The property fnaIly
fell iato the hands of Capt. Ward
Of Plttsburg, from whom the nsg
company have purchased It ST

A Doctor Astonished.

A small yearling youngster out at
Fort Wayne, in Indiana, had the mis-
fortune to suck kernel of corn in to
his windpipe the other day. The doc
tor was sent for i'll haste, and announced
that it would be necessary to perform
the operation of tracheotOmy to save
the child's life. The Hoosier mother,
familiar with practice of domestic
surgery of Il sort, and not pleased with
the idea of having the child's wiudpipe
cut open, seized the sufferer by one leg
and holding him head downward, ad-
ministered sundry resounding spanks.
There was IL sound not unlike the sound
of IL pop-gun, and the kernel of corn
was elected with great force. The
child was at once relieved, and re-
covered of course. The doctor said he
was thoroughly familiar with phlebot-
Omy in all its forms, but he had never
had any experience with this kind
since he was il boy, and even then had
never known it to be resorted to for
surgical purposes. 1t will enter into
the practice of surgery hereafter large
ly, particularly i'll corn countries, al
though it does not necessarily follow
that those who resort to it should be
called corn doctors.

Humorist aud Beggar.

Those who knew John Phoenix (Lieu-
tenant Derby)-knew him as we did,
said il San Francisco paper-will be
glad to read the following striking
anecdOte, so characteristic of his noble
nature. All who knew Derby will re
member that there was nothing about
him or his humOr resembling those sour,
discontinued, practical .iokers so natu-
rally and justly tabooed from society.
Good nature and good fellowship he
ever cherished; and beyond these, save
in the way of harmless mirth, he never
welved. 1t was not in him. His power
of face WAS something wonderful, and
this is sufficiently tested 10y the follow
ing anecdOte:
He was sitting one evening in the
lOlling room of the old Oriental hotel,
when little beggar girl came in, and
with the keen discernment of little peo-
pie in general, noticed his childlOving
benevolent countenance, and approach
ed him, asking aims. She was very
young, innOcent-lOOking, and had none
of the juvenile whine and persistency
of most young mendicants whom one
meets in the streets and the halls of our
public hotels.
Phoenix at once assumed moumful
expression of face, and began to talk,
us it were, cOntidentially and affection
ately to her. He told her that his
father was long since dead, and that he
was now left entirely alone in the world;
that he was then but little boy, with
nobody to look to, and often had not
known where to sleep at night.
The little girls blue eyes began TO
moisten; the lolling guests, most of
whom knew Lieutenant Derby, gather
ed around; when what was their sur
prise to see the poor, sympathetic beg
gar-child go close up to him, and in
quiet, confidential way take out of the
inside pocket of her sOied and tattered
froek, all the money she had gathered
through the day, and place it in his
hand. 1t is needless to say that the
tender hearted and courageous little
donor of her hard days earnings had
not only her small, yet great benefac-
ton restored, but went away with great
possessions, educed from the pockets of
the sympathetic bystanders.

Useful if not New.

The following simple rules for pre-
serving health and promoting personal
comfort. if not new to some OF our
readers, are none the less important to
every one.
The object of brushing the teeth is to
remove the destructive particles OF
food which by their decomposition gen,
crate decay. To neutralize the acld
resulting from this chemical change is
the object of dentifrice. A stiff brush
should be used after every meal, and
thread of silk floss or India rubber
passed through between the teeth to
remove particles of food. Rinslng the
mouth in lime water neutrallzes the
acid.
Living and sleeping in room IN
which the sun never shines is SLOW
form of suicide. A sun bath is the most
refreshing and life giving bath that can
possibly be taken.
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. To this end, never sit in
damp shoes or wear foot coverings hit
ting and pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruit is nall an
hour before breakfast.
A full bath should not be taken less
than three hours after meal. Never
drink cold water before bathing. Do
not take a cold bath when tired.
Keep a box of powdered starch on
the washstand and after washing, rub
a pinch over the hands. 1t will pre-
vent chapping.
If feeling cold before going to bed,
exercise do not roast over fire.
