George Augustus saIa.

George Augustus Sala, the well known Eng
fish writer, on his last Australian trip wrote as
follows to the London Daily Telegraph:
II especially have pleasant remembrance
of the ships doctor-a very experienced mari
time medico indeed, who tended me most kind
ly during a horrible spell of bronchitis and
spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea fog
which had swooped down on us just after we
left San Francisco. But the doctors prescrip-
tions and the increasing warmth of the tenn
perature as we neared the Tropics, and in par
ticular, couple of ALLCoCK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS clapped on-one on the chest and another
between the shoulder blades-soon set me
right"

The Gamins Invent a Game.

Gamins about New York city have a
new game, or new variation of an old
one. 1t is played with a ball, but in
stead of bat as an instrument of pro-
pulsion, thick stick about eight inches
long IS balanced over paving stone,
and the ball laid upon the end of it. The
boy who is sat bat" picks up stone or
other heavy thing and throws it down
with all his strength upon the end of the
stick that projects over the edge of the
paving stone upon which the stick rests.
The effect is OF course, to send the hall
flying up in the air. The harder the end
of the stick is hit the higher and the
farther away goes the ball, and the skill
full batter can, besides, control some
what the course of the ball by the way in
which he makes the stone strike the
stick. While the ball is in the air the
boys on bases make their runs, and are
out" if it is caught. -New York Sun.

Wyoming Cattle Men Prospecting.

Thomas Moonlight, the Governor of
Wyoming Territory, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior,
states that the cattle business has begun
to improve from the etback of last year
caused by the over stocking in the Ter
ritory, the low price of meat and the
severe winter. Large cattle companies
arc giving place to smaller ones with
the result that the cattle can be cared
for, and the grass is beginning to be
sufficient for the herds that feed upon
it. The report states that the $3.50 900
six per cent. bonds issued by the Logis-
lature in 1886 were eagerly purchased
at an average premium of five cents on
the dollar. The Legislature of 1888
authorized further issue of 500 900 in
these bonds, which brought premium
of twelve cents on the dollar. The
first-issue l,nl' run from fifteen to
thirty five years, and the latter forty
years. The total bonded iadeb te dness
is now one per centum of the entire
assessed valuation of last year of
$50, 900, 600, which is the full limit al
loved by law. But as the assessment
OF 1888 is less than that of 1897 the
issue of the bonds, the report states,
exceeds the above limit fixed by Con-
gress. The Governor however, thinks
this will only be temporary, "as the in
crease of population and the higher
prices now being paid for cattle values
will increase and particularly In realty"

One of the most pleasant and satisfactory
experiences in business is the evidence of con-
fdence occasionally shown by the public to a
long-e tablished firm. The John p. Lowell
Arms Co., 147 Washington Street, received a
few days ago. from a man in Tennessee, of
whom they had no previous knowle ge, a reg
istered letter containing FTUe Hundred Dollar
bill, with an order for sixty-six dollars worth
Of goods, requestinF the change to be returned.
A careful examination of the bill proved its
value and the ord was filled as desired The
sender lived in a remote locality where the
Postoffice was his only means o. communica-
ton and the bill referred to was his most con-
venient sum to inclose. 1t would not be re-
markable if this firm, who have been identified
with historical Dock Square for fOrty-eiglt
years should thus win the confidence of Bost II
or New England people, but it is worthy Of note
that their success in business has grown out
OF the sound reputation that extends through
out the United States. Any one who has seen
their advertisements of Guns. Rifles, Revolvers,
Cutlery, Sporting Goods and Fishing Tackle in
this paper can feel perfectly safe in sending
them any amount of money and be sure to get
the full value in return, or if unsatisfactory in
any way, their money refunded. All of our

A FLYING LIZARD.

'rYes," continued the owner, taking
the net again, sit is flying lizard-a
wingless flyer at that, one of the most
remarkable OF the lizard tribe"
Tossing the little creature up again,
1t seemed to spread and again flew
away buoyed by some mysterious
power.
II got my pet in the island of BOr-
neo, said the naturalist. sit was my
intention merely to collect skins, but
one day was walking along through
the forest when saw what took for a
brilliantly colored butterfly coming
along. As drew nearer saw that it
was lizard, and, standing perfectly
still, it shot by me. Having a switch
in my hand l struck it down and so Sc
cured it aud carried it to camp in my
pocket. Finding that it would i've I
kept it, and soon saw that it was quite
a pet, and if can get it to England
shall deposit II IN the London AooIog-
zeal Gardens.
On the wing the Draco volans, as this
little creature is called, resembles arich-
~ tinted insect, but when at rest it can
be compared to lizard with extra
ordinary protuberances on either side.
These are the so-called wings, which
are formed of cutaneous growth on
either side, wing-like in shape and
supported by series of false ribs. In
color the lizard is blue and gray, with
tints of various kinds and shades. The
tail is long, slender, and beneath the
head depends a double pouch, giving
the animal rather a ferocious ap-
pearnnce.
