Lnok We'll to the Children.

Word comes from Albany of a
death from diphtheria OF the eleven
year-old daughter of Thomas Fro
man, and of another girl, aged 10,
i'll with the same dread scourge.
Parents everywhere cannot be too
careful as to the absolute cleanli-
ness of house and yard, and Of the
persons of their children. Diph-
iberia is attracted by and thrives on
bad drainage, poor ventilation, sud
den changes of temperature of the
body, and food that causes bad blood.
Simple diet, a clean and active skin,
proper action of the bowels, early to
bed and plenty of sound sleep are
common sense preventives of this
dreadful disease. No mother can
afford to overlook these important
matters. While it is likely the dis
ease will be prevented from spread
ing in Albany, and no sign OF diph-
iberia is known in our city, It
should be remembered that preven-
lion is always better than cure.

An anecdote is related Of Judge
Kuhn, Of Port Townsend, which will
carry the memory Of good many people
back to the time when the judge earned
bis title BY suspending the scales Of
justice on various occasions in diugy
old Office in that now very enterprising
town. One afternoon an old woman,
whom time had robbed of all her charms,
accompanied BY . buxom and comely
maiden, and also badly scared young
man, entered the judges Office and said !:

The Present Boom Town Of the Occur
d'Alene Mines.

The Sun man visited Mullan week
ago to-day and found the town in state
Of activity bordering on boom. There
were lots Of strangers in the place, the
two hotels-both two stories-werc over
crowded and it was almost impossible to
find place for rest, sleep or norishment.
The saw aud hammer we're heard on all
sides, and busy men were rusting hither
and thither as if they had something i'm
portant to do. All this hubbub is oc-
cassioned BY the realisation Of the dream
of the eally settlers of Mullau. The
railroad promised year ago. will enter
the town about March, and BY that time
the Hunter concentrator, now in the
process of construction. will be ready to
reduce all the way from $50 to 300 tons
Of crude ore per day, while little later
on the morning mine owner will erect a
mill to grind up about 100 tons Of ore
per day. There are besides q score Of
other mines under fair state of devel-
opmeut, all Of which strengthens the
belief Of the inhabitants that Mullau is
the coming metropolis of the Occur
d'Alene. The town is admirably situ-
ated in the gentle slcping valley Of the
upper South Fork, where there is plenty
Of sunshine, lots Of fuel and pure wafer,
wide streets and ample room to spread.
Already the site is covered with many
buildings and cabins, and new houses arc
going up as fast IS lumber can be Sc
cured. Like all new towns, also, real
estate is in demand and away up. Lots
that could be purchased year ago for q
few dollars are now held for from $500
to $500, according to location, and

might have suspected he was making
mighty attempt to look over his alder
manic proportions to see whether his
shoes were polished or not. After the
judge had recovered himself, he looked
admirinxly at the young girl and then SO
severely at the prospective husband that
that individual shrunk iato even smaller

"Are both Of these young people Of

reached 70. BIZ law book and adjusted
his glasses.
I'm Of age, jedge. and I'm managing
this affair. If you have any objections
to tying this knot just say SO, and we'll
hunt Law elsewhere"

was unable to insist upon stricter reply
to his question. It required only a
glance to tell him that the young man
was away beyond the age of his discre-
ton, when the old woman was around,

The Ways of Nature.

In the universe every thing is changing
and every thing is in motion, for motion
itself is the first condi ton Of vitality.
The firm ground, long thought to be
immovable, is subject to incessant mo-
ton; the very mountains rise or sink;
not only do the winds and ocean cur
rents circulate round tho planet but
the continents themselves, with their
SUBMITS and valleys, are changing
their places and slowly travelling round
the circle OF the globe. In order to
explain all these geological phenome-
ma it is no longer necessary to i'm
agine alterations in the earth's axis,
ruptures Of the solid crust, or gigantic
subterranean downfalls. This is not
the mode in which nature generally
proceeds; she is more calm and more
regular in her operations, and, chary Of
her right brings about changes Of the
grandest character without even the
knowledge Of the beings that she nonr-
ishes. She upheaves mountains and
dries up seas without disturbing the
flight Of the gnat. Some revolution
which appears to us to have been pro-
duced by q mighty cataclysm has, per-
haps, taken thousands Ct years to 20
complish. Science.

SLAUGHTER OF TRAMPS.
A Brakeman Tells How the Gentry of the
Road Steal Rides.

A Brakeman Tells How the Gentry of the
Road Steal Rides.
Statistics Of the number of tramps
killed annually in railroad accidents
are appalling, but no attention is paid
to this wholesale slaughter of an un-
desirable element of society. However,
for the amount Of travelling done by
the worthless gentry of the road, the
accident rate is very small. Scarcely
passenger or freight train makes a trip
but one or more tramps ride on the
trucks or "blind baggage" Should an
accident occur they are very liable to
be injured, but the number of marvel
Gus escapes they make causes one to
imagine they lead charmed lives. l
was on a train two weeks ago when I
saw a tramp escape in a way that was
simply marvellous Our train ran on
a switch and into q freight. The two
engines were badly smashed, and the
first passenger car was piled on top
of the freight engine. The engineer
of the former and both firemen were
killed. When everybody had rushed
out and the true state Of affairs was
discovered. there emerged from under
the cars piled on the engine, badly
scared tramp who was not injured at
all. He walked away very calmly after
shaking himself and no doubt left on
the trucks of the next train. These
fellows become very expert at riding in
difficult places. As the cars are ex-
amined at most stations, they have to
hide between the trucks or get off. In
the latter case they run under the car
and resume their place while the train
is moving. 'Blind baggage" is another
method Of stealing ride. This is a
technical phrase to designate the plat
form of the baggage-car that is coupled
to the engine. There is no entrance to
the car, and hence when the train starts
at night the tramp runs and jumps 70
the platform, where he can remain I'M
seen until the next station, where he
jumps off as the train slows up. He is
safe from the conductor and brakeman,
and is only in danger of discovery from
the engine. The fireman and engineer
if tender-hearted will not disturb him,
but otherwise they pelt him with coal
and throw water upon him until he is
glad to leave when the train stops. If
he has luck he can ride all night more
safely than on the truck, but he gets a
dose Of cinders and smoke from the
engine. ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
