studied the influence Of cold and hot
baths upon the respiratory and nutrl-

under the influence of cold baths more
oxygen is absorbed and more carbonic
acid is expelled. at the same time
more air passes through the lungs. Hot
baths act in a similar manner, but in a

A Huge Mountain Lion Killed,


Yesterday Messrs. Edwin Humphreys and
James Maycock, of Pleasant View, in this
County, brought a stuffed mountain lion to
Ogden. The two gentlemen named and George
Maycock were hauling hay on Saturday, the
9TH inst, from the meadow of Mr. Amos May
cock, which is situated about quarter of a
mile south of Pleasant Vsew, some distance
from the u. & N. r. r. line. A dog which they
had with them found the lion in a bunch of
willows, and George went TO see what the dog
was after. He returned to the other gentle
men, white as sheet, saying that it was lion.
Two of the men guarded the animal while the
other ran to the residence for rifle. Upon
returning, Mr. Edwin Humphreys shot the
beast square in the forehead, causing death.
The lion measured seven feet and one inch from
the tip of the nose to the end Of the tail, and
weighed 130 pounds. It showed fight enough
to make the watchers, who had only pistol to
defend themselves with, quite nervous until
the trusted rife was brought, which soon stiaed
its loud roar and put an end to its life. Yester-
day the gentlemen brought the stuffed skin of
the beast to Ogden and tried to dispose of it.
The front paws of the lion measured five inches
across and 10 inches in circumference, and had
curved claws at least an inch in length. The
animal was shot between and 2 O'Clock on
Saturday, and late on the same evening an
other lion presumably the mate to the one
shot, was seen near the same place, but it was
too dark to shoot it. Yesterday number OF
men set out to hunt it up, but up to o'clock

The Wool BusIness in a NatsheII.


The main cost of raising wool in foreign
countries where the sheep Craze over the pub
lie domain is the wages Of the herder. In tho
Argentine Republic this quality of labor re-
ceives three Spanish dollars per month. In
Montana, where the sheep also Craze on the
public domain. the wages of the herder, which
is also the main cost of growing wool there, is
$40 per month, as against So in South America.
This is an increase in the cost Of growing
American wool, otherwise under similar con
dtions, of 1900 per cent. The freight on wool
from Buenos Ayres to New York by sailing yes
sci is only one-quarter centper pound, while the
cheapest freight from Montana is two cents per
pound to the same market. Here is an in
crease to the Montana grower in the cost OF
transportation of 700 per cent. over the cost to
the South American grower. With this differ
ence against the American grower on the free
range, how much moremust be the cost of rails

Postmaster's lack of knowledge of work

500 on his salary last year. When he sent
his returns in he lacked 81 cents of the amount
called for by the law to permit an adjustment
of his salary His report showed the yearly
receipts of his Office to be $2,099.20. AS the
Department allows fraction over a half dollar
to be counted as dollar, the postmaster would
have been 500 more in pocket if he had had
shrewdness enough to buy 81 cents worth of
stamps out of his own pocket. Since he sent in
his report he learned his mistake, and any
body in the County can now kick him. His was
the only case of the kind in the $500. 1t caused
much merriment among the clerks at the Post
Office Department.
