THE WONDERFUL GOPHER.
One Bets It's a Squirrel, Another
Snake, "A Third turtle and
Fourth Rat.
New York sun

Four business men sat in a Third
evenue car ON their way down town
yesterday Looking up from his
newspaper one of them said:
Here's an item that says gopher
holes makes horseback riding dan
gerous on the plains. Now I'd like
to know what a gopher is, any way, p"
looking around inquiringly.
GA gopher is a striped squirrel, "
said a tall man, in a tone of quiet as
surance.
you're mistaken, sir, - said his
neighbor a gopher is a land turtle,
that burrows.
II shall have to differ from you,
gentlemen" interprised the fourth
man "A gopher is neither a strip
ped squirrel nor turtle. 1t is a kind
of rat.
A man ON the opposite seat, who
had listened to the conversation with
evident interest, said
Excuse me, gentlemen; but you
are all mistaken. A gopher Is a
snake. I've killed lots of 'em, and
| know what I'm talking about
Are you wiling to back up your
opinion2" asked the gopher-squirrel
man, taking a roll of bills from his
pocket.
Certainly, sir Here's s. that
saws a gopher is a snake
The money was put into the hands
of the gentleman who stated the
discussion. He accepted it under
protest, saying he was positive that a
gopher was a gray burrowing SPUR
rel. He had often seen them. A
heated discussion followed, in which
the words gopher, snake, sqirrel, rat
and turtle figured prominently. The
money in the Shareholders hand
soon amounted to 925. 1t was agreed
that Webster should settle the dis
puts. The gentlemen alighted from
the car, went into a hotel, and a
copy Of the Unabridged was pro
cured.
"Gol-gop-p p-gopher-here is is, =
said the stakeholder rs he ran his
finger down the page:
Gopher-An animal of several dis
tinct species. The name was original
~ given by French settlers to many
burrowing animals from their honey
combing the earth. In Canada and
Illinois the name was given to a gray
burrowing squirrel west of the Mlssis-
sippi and in Wisconsin to a striped
squirrel. In Missouri common spe-
cies IS a pouched rat Of a reddish or
chesnut-brown color, with broad
mole Like fore feet In Georgia a
snake Is called by the same name,
and in Florida turtle.
AS the stakeholder refunded the
money, he said Gentlemen it appear
that we are all right and all wrong.
But we have, at least learned some
thing

What milwaukee Says About the ALI
Important Question.

How do men propose" asked a
Journal reporter of bevy Of fair
women.
.They don't propose at all, that is
not very often, nowadays" came
the saucy answer from one pair of rosy
lips.
"They dontget down on their knees
to it as they do in novels, I'll impart
that much information, cried a
dashing East side burnette who, if
rumor tells the truth, knows all about
it.

periences, don't your" said a bright
young widow Of the persuasion vul-
carly termed grass" Now, I'm go

ing her earnest face To the reporter
you Will never find a true woman
who VIII tell you the facts about her
proposals, if her heart was touched in
the least. Indeed | don't believe she
could. She might tell you the sur
roundings or the date but the words
where two people are really in love
with each other there are so few words
necessary.
A woman never forgets the man to
whom she has said no, sighed the only
matron of the party, with a tender
| light in her eyes, 'and if he goes to
the bad afterwards the sight of him
will always senda pang to her woman's
heart at the thought his hopeless love
for her might have had something to
do with it.
Shed be a goose to lay at her door
his wrong doings'
This from the same saucy maiden
who first spoke.
eff man is going to the dogs, he'll
go anyway; but do think they like to
place the blame on a woman, and con
slider themselves martyrs. Give me a
man with some 'get-up and get about
him, who takes you by storm and
won't let you say no. He'll win the
day every time

The Distressed Wolf.

A Wolf had the misfortune to

A boat, a few days ago. passed
through Lackawaxen, Pa, On the
Delaware & Hudson Canal, drawn by
two mules, each four years old, one
of which is afflicted with malaria. The
Captain of the boat said that the ami
nal has regular chills and fever, and
exhibits all the symptoms displayed
by human beings afflicted with the
same disease. The mule has been
nearly cured by a diet Of quinine He
was first opposed to taking the bitter
drug in his oats, and consented to
swallow it only after a voluntary fast
of five days, when the pangs of hum
ger conquered the objections Of his
sensitive palate He seems to under
stand the purpose of the drug, for
whenever he feels the chills coming
ON he now eats. without wInking, the
oats covered with the pungent pow

skeleton, but since taking soveal do
ses of quinine he is gaining flesh and
strength.

Snlt for the IInmnn Srstem.

The London Lancet combats the
folly Of some would,be improvers ON
Galen, who decry the use Of salt as a
food condiment because it is a mineral.
The Lancet says that common salt,
chloride of sodium, is the most widely
distributed substance in the body; it
exists in every fluid and in every solid:
and not only is everywhere present,
but in almost every part it constitutes
the largest portion of the ash when
any tissue is burnt. In particular it is
a constant constituent OF the blood,
and it maintains in it proportion
that is almost wholly Independent Of
the quantity that is consumed with
the food. The blood will take up so
much and no more, however much
we may take with oar food, and on
the other hand, if none be given, the
blood parts with its natural quantity
slowly and unwillingly Nothing can
demonstrate its value better than the
fact that if albumen without salt is
introduced into the intestines of an
animal, no portion of it is absorbed,
while it all quickly disappears if salt
be added. The conclusion therefore is
obvious that salt, being wholesome,
and indeed necessary, should be
taken in moderate quantities, and
that abstention from it is likely to
be injurious
