A WOOdchOpper Protects His Own
Life-FataI Results.

ELKo, February 6.
A terrible tragedy occurred yesterday
evening at a wood camp near Moore's Sta
ton, about -four miles from HUMBOLDT
Wells. Measer particulars are received.
1t is known that two men procured a gal
lon Of whisky at Wells and returned with
it to camp; that they got drunk and went
to the cabin of a w~oodchopper, threatening
his life; that they opened the door and
shot at the man with a rifle and revolver;
that the man seized an ak and resented the
attack, cutting each of his assailants Sc
verely. The assailants we're arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Chase. who started to E]ko
with them. One of them died on the train
and the other is lying in the hoipital here
in q critical condition and cannot survive.
The party attacked is generally exonerated
by those familiar with the circumstances Of
the case.

DISEASE.

The alarming prevalence Of diphtheria
throughout the country the present winter
has turned the attention Of the medical
fraternity to the malady with renewed
vieor, and there is q hope that one Of these
days we will know more about its pathology
and treatment. The disease derived its
name seventy years ago from ~Brittenneau,
who had given it considerable attention on
account Of the epidemic at Tours. Some
authorities claim that the disease has been
In existence ever since medical science had
. place in the world, while others give it a
more modern origin. One thing is GER
tain, and that is that while no specific has
been found for the treatment OF the dis
ease, it is not necessarily fatal, as it was
once thought to be, and the percentage OF
cures is growing larger every year. DIR.
Farr, Of Liverpool, England, who has
given considerable attention to diphtheria,
declares that it belongs essentially to cold
weather, and is more likely to affect the
healthful portions Of cities than those
which are under the sanitary standard. 1t
is his belief that diphtheria cannot exist
where other forms Of fever are indigenous,
and he holds that there is no prevention
for it save isolation. The fact that children
are moro generally attacked than adults is
attributed to the gregarious nature OF
children and the opportunities which are
afforded for contagious contact in the
schools. The reports OF the Registrar
General Of England show some remark
able statistics concerning this disease.
From 1855, the year when the malady
1agsd so farcely in France, down to the
year 1876, the deaths in England numbered
81. 361, or IS per cent. OF the whole NOR
tally. The disease was most virulent in
1859, when it caused 8 per cent. of the
aggregate mortality, and the mildest in
1879, when the deaths were only A per cent.
OF the whole. In the decade between 1861
and 1879 there died in England from diph-
thcria 18,467 males and 20,9S7 females.
OF this number 40, 900 were children under
five years Of age, and IS per cent. were be-
tween five and ten years Of age These
figures give an approximate idea Of the
ravages of the disease in thickly populated
communities. 1t is the experience of the
medical men of England that there is no
preventive like the closing of schools when
once. the malady gains a foothold.

ONE OF the most wonderful discoveries
OF minerals yet made is that Of immense
beds of mineral wax, in Southern Utah and
Arizona, and in the Sierra Madre noun
tains, about so miles northwest OF Los An
geles, California. 1t is the same as the
Zietriskisite, or the Romanian mineral wax.
It differs from parafne, by being insoluble
in ether, and in other respects. 1t is a
snow-white, resinous substance, softer and
lighter than chalk, and burns with great
brilliancy till consumed, Tearing no ashes.
In European countries this curious and
valuable mineral is fouuds in small quanti-
ties, but in America we have here found it
in beds said to be as much as 20 feet in
thickness. and extending ever many square
miles.

,Ixsthe. gear 1915 the pay of the clerks
and employees Of the New York State SEN
ate amounted to less than $40, 900; last year
it was $50, 800, or eleven thousand more
than in the palmy day, when Tweed was a
Senator and found something for all his
friends to do. The number of Senators is
the same now as in 1916, and yet the ex-
.panses have increased year by year. Enor-

Senator Jones' Argument Against
the Chinese.

WASHINGTON, February G.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, will make an
elaborate argument against the Chinese,
taking the ground that their residence
among us must be productive Of anti
Republican conditions, and so, therefore,
must be antagonistic to the preamble Of
the Constitution, which declares that the
Government designed to establish justice,
promote tranquility and maintain the gen.
eral welfare. Some attention has been
called to the fact that recently the Califor-
MIA Constitutional Convention, under Dem
ocratic inspiration, rejected the proposed
section to the bill of Rights. speaking of
the country as a Nation, and declaring Sc
cession to he always unlawful. 1t is very
well understood that a~ntagonism to the
Chinese in California has been industri-
ously used to foment disaffection to the
general Government, and create a bitter
degree of sectional hostility, based upon
Eastern Indifference to the complaint made
of Mongolian competition.

Leonard WEIGH, the father of the boy
found so terribly bruised on Free street, in
Saco, one night last week, was taken down
to see his child by City Marshal Grant this
afternoon. The child, though apparently
unconscious, yet seemed to recognize his
father. Before leaving the house Welch
kneeled by the bedside of his boy and rails
ing his hands to heaven solemnly protested
his innocence, declaring that it was through
other instrumentality than his acts that the
child was injured. 1t is still impossible to
tell the result of the injuries.

A NEW WAY OF MAKING JELLY CAKE.

A NEW WAY OF MAKING JELLY CAKE.
Take the whites of six eggs, one cup of
white sugar, same of flour, one teaspoon full
of butter, two teaspoonfuls of sweet milk,
two teaspoonfuls cream of tartar, and one of
Soda Bake in large oblong dripping pan,
so the cake will be very thin meanwhile stir
another batch, making just the same, with
the exception OF using the yolks instead of
the whites; when both are done, spread
when warm with jelly or preserves of any
kind put together, bring the largest side of
the cake toward you, and roll Immediately;
or cut in four or eight parts, put together al
ternately, putting jelly between each layer.
and frost lightly over the top. Another
method is to make three pans, making the
third layer of one third red-sand sugar, pro-
ceeding the same as for the other layers; in
putting together let the first layer be the yell
low, made of the yolks; then the red, and
you have beautiful as well as a delicious
party cake. They are very pretty in rolls.
ABOUT POTATOES.
AS an article of food the potato is of es-
pecial value, on account of the potash and
phosphoric acid it contains, and it is of the
first Importance that the potash salts should
not be lost in the process of cooking, for it
is to these salts potatoes owe their an,iscor-
butte properties. Potatoes steamed with
their skins on lose very little potash and
scarcely any phosphoric acid; while if
steamed after peeling they lose seven and
five per cent. respectively. Similarly, pota-
toes when boiled with their skins on lose a
little more than two per cent. of their potash
and about one per cent. of their phosphoric
acid; but if they are boiled after peeling
they lose as much as thirty three per cent.
of potash and twenty-three per cent. of phos-
phoric acid. Hence it follows that if pota-
toes must be peeled, they should be steamed,
not boiled; and, if they must be boiled, they
should at least retain their jackets while I'M
dergoing the operation, the best way of all,
from scientific point of view, being to
steam them before peeling, or to bake them
in their skins.
