SAN Francisco, December 18.-The
recent storm was terribly severe along
the Northern coast from Cape Mendicino
to Cape Flattery, and fears are enter
tained for the safety of some of the over
Loaded coal vessels from Puget Sound
and number of barks. The captains
OF the Costa Rica, the Empire, the Jeanne
and the Umatilla, which arrived here,
state that the weather was the toughest
they ever experienced. Among the coal
vessels bound from the Sound were a
ship and bark from Departure Bay, four
ships from Nanaimy, five ships and a
bark from Seattle, three ships from
Tacoma. A number OF lumber laden
schooners and barkendines were also out
in the storm and have not yet arrived.

nARK FROM THE SOUP.
Timothy GUY Phelps Thinks H,
Was Counted Out.

SAN Francisco, December 1S-A tally
kept by the friends of Timothy Guy
Phelps during the O'Donnell recount of
the vote of the city seems to show that
Phelps, Republican, has been counted
out Of twelve votes, and Clunie, Demo
crat, has been credited with twenty-five
votes to which he was not entitled.
In the first five precincts of the
39th Assembly district, up to the fourth
precinct of the Fortieth District, where
the recount ended for the day, it was
claimed that Phelps had gained seventy
six votes, and that instead OF Clunie
having majority OF forty-seven votes,
Phelps has majority of twenty-nine,
with nearly the entire district yet to hear
from. Clunie, however, seems undis-
turbed by the results of this unofficial
count, and ex presses the opinion that
there must be some mistake.

The Southern Pacific Disposed TO
Settle,

SAN Francisco, December 1S.-Colonel
Crocker today stated that the directors
of the Southern Pacific have under con-
sideration the payment to the State of
$521, ,679, claimed to be due as taxes for
1888 on railroad property in this
State. Colonel Crocker said that although
the directors, in view of certain facts
may think their taxes excessive, they
are disposed to pay the full amount as
assessed. However, before paying these
taxes it must be ascertained how settle
ment would affect the position of the
county, as determined by the United
States conrts. He thought the direntors
woulk definitely settle the matter this
week.

Lions, as n rule, hunt in family parties.
A very old lion, not infrequently inca
pacitated from taking an active part in
pursuing game, is generally to be found
at the head of such a c~oterie, and On him
devolves no unimportant part of the pro-
gramme.
Down to leeward, a hundred PAGES be-
low where the draught bullocks are made
fast when q train halts for rest, the young
and active males and lionesses place them
selves behind what available cover is to
be found. This being done, the old lion
goes to windward of the encampment and
shakes out his abundant mane in the
breeze, so that the odor from it may be
carried down to the excited draught ami
mails.
One sniff of tho tainted breeze brings
every OK to his feet in n moment; then,
standing, often trembling with fear, they
gaze with dilated eyes into the impene-
trable darkness. Closer and closer APP
proaches the aged lion to his victims,
shaking and reshaking the dense, tawny
covering of his f~orequarters.
Then, If the travellers harness be not
strong, he may look out for q stampede.
Should it hold temporarily, the aggressor,
as q climax to his former
gives utterance to his deepest and loudest
roar, when the frightened beasts, if not
secured by the stoutest f~astenings that
can be obtained, will break free and rush
with inconceivable rapidity into the very
jaws of their foes, secreted to leeward.-

Ugly Faces Made Handsome.

1t is no difficult thing for a dentist to
press prominent teeth into place by rub
Der wedges and metal clamps without
pain. The long upper lips which N. P.
Willis derided SO pitilessly in a woman
because it is a sign of such a sullen te-
nacity and GOODNESS of nature, is more
difficult to treat. But 1t accompanies a
nose not so long as it should be, and the
facial artist would remedy the lip by
bringing the nose down. Do not deride
or say impossible, for the thing is done.
There are several physicians who reft
noses and correct their deformities. The
interior of the nose is deadened with CO.
caine, the lining or mucous membrane
turned back and superfuous tissues cut
away, and a splint or saddle fixed to the
bridge to make it, while healing, the de-
sired shape. When the large end of
blunt noses becomes a deformity, he cuts
them through with a thin bladed knife
and applies the saddle. In no case is the
operation serious, there is no scar, and
photographs show nothing to be desired
after the operation. Long, prominent
noses are of all others the easiest to be
taught their duty, as all they require is
the splint without surgery. With a nose
in proportion the lips adjust themselves,
and contract from necessity in most cases.

Criticism of European Soldiers.

Ihave been most kindly received by
the king and Count Bismarck and all the
officers at the headquarters of the Prus-
sian army; have seen much of great inter
est, and especially nave been able to OBJ
serve the difference between European
battles and those of our own country.
l nave not found the difference very
great, but that difference is to the credit
of our own country. There is nothing to
be learned here professionally, and it is a
satisfaction to know that this is the case.
There is much, however, which Europeans
could learn from us-the use of rifle pits
the use of cavalry, which they do not
use well. For instance, there is q line of
communication from here to Germany ex-
posed to the whole of the south of France,
with scarcely a soldier on the whole line,
and it has never been touched. There are
a hr,ndr things in which they are be-
