The SEowtl.
The sewel,el or showtl is one of the

The sewel,el or showtl is one of the
curious and least known mammals
America. This little animal, which is only
found in few isolated and barren parts
Of the North West,-its geographical
range being bounded on the north by Brit
ish Columbia, on the south by Oregon, and
On the east by the high, rolling plateaus
most part the small, sandy prairics adje-
cent to the rivers that run through the
dense forests Of Western Oregon and Wash
ington Territory. The Indians have ira,
dition that it was the first creature endow-
ed with life, and curiously enough trace
their own origin TO it, having, however, not
the smallest objection to cooking and eat
ing their remote ancestor, the flesh of
which they esteem a great delicacy. Tho
showtl much resembles the muskrat, with
this striking difference, that it does not
possess tail. A full-grown male meas
ures about fourteen inches in length and
six inches in height, has well-deyelopec
head, with large, round muzzle, short, rel
vety, rounded ears, and exceedingly sharp
teeth, short, stout legs, broad feet, long,
thick, curved nails, by means of which it
can burrow a home for itself in an incredi-
bly, short time. The creature is extremely
gregarious, living in colonies of from q doz
EN- to hundred families; it eats only veg
etable food, and lays up considerable store.
OF provision in its underground dwelling,
Its fine, thick, reddisli-brown fur causes il
to be sought for by the Chinooks for tho
purpose of making robes, which they call
'slie-wel-el," and hence one of the name:
of the auimal. By chiriping little while
near its hole, the showtl may be induced
to come ont, and it can then be shot with
a bow and arrow, while seeking to regain
its burrow as the conformation Of its fccs
prevents it from moving quickly. Tho

Cold Tea as a stinulant.

A story is going the round of the En-
elish papers that large agriculturist has
been giving his harvest hands cold tea in-
stead of beer to drink in the harvest field,
and that the results were extremity satis-
factory, there being none Of the sullenness,
excitabiiity and rudeness that had prev
iously been attributed to beer. Because
tea does not intoxicate, its power as q stim-
ulant is forgotten or moderated, but the
fact remains that there is more stimulant
in pint of tea of average strength than
in quart of common beer. 1t should he
mbered, too, that the quantity of tea
that harvester will consume daily as o!
substitute for beer is greater than that
which will suffice an entire family around
a supper table. Stimulation, whether by
spirits, wine, beer, tea, coffee or opium, is
simply a method of consuming ones phys
ical capital, and the laborer who replaces
his two or three quarts of beer with an
equal daily allowance of tea is exhausuny
his nerve and muscle more rapidly than he
did while guzzling beer. More and better
food is what bcer-drinking laborers need.
The well-fed American farmer, working
long hours under sun hotter than Eng
land ever knew, does not drink as much in
a week as IN under-fed laborer will in .
day. If workingmen must drink heavily
of something besides water-something
with taste to it-let them drink oatmeal
water, or water in which brown corn-meal
has been thrown. A little sugar will give
such drink nutritious and Strengthening
S-operties. But let not the temperance
men seize and spread the cold-tea story !;
the cup that cheers but not inetriates is as
dangerous when abused as the hottlc and
glass.-JouSadi Of Science.

Take the Best Paper.

The best way to keep thoroughly
posted on all matters of human inter-
est is to take first-class daily paper.
which Is honest and just in its opin-
ion, truthful and thorough In its pre-
sentation of news. and faithfully de
voted to the best interests of the sec
ton in which it is published.
Such paper is THE DENvE. RE-
PUBLICAN. In everything that goes
to make daily Journal of the high.
est class, it stands supreme among
the newspapers of the west, and
everything that the application of
brains and money can do to make
each issue better than the last will
be done in the future as in the past.
With the best platform ever pre-
sented to the American people by
any political party, and q ticket that
must command the respect and con-
fidence of all fairninded citizens, it
will be our pleasant duty during the
campaign to carry the gospel of Re-
publicanism TO every home in which
the progress and prosperity of this
country ls desired IN the protection
of American industries and the per-
petuation of Republican institutions
to aid us i'll this great and good
work.
1t is OF vital importance to the west
that the policy of encouragement to
labor and capital, which has been
the ruling spirit Of Republican rule,
and the main cause of the Nations
growth in moral and material great
ness during the last quarter of cen
tury, saould be continued for an in
definite period to come, and that re-
suit can be most successfully achiev-
ed through the agency of a patriotic
press.
The DENVER REPUBLICAN has,
and will have, nothing to do with
factional or personal differences of
opinion within the Republican party.
1t has no spites TO crafty and no old
scores to settle 1t will strenuously
endeavor at all times to promote the
spirit of harmony and to improve
the chances of party victory. 1t will
stand up for the rights of the people
against the aggressiops of corpora

times be prepared TO express Its hon
