Transportation by Pipe Lines!

The cheapest and most convenient of all artiti-
cial methods of transportation yet devised, is by
lines OF wrought iron pipe, supplied, when nee

A Counterfeit Night.

Terrific pine forests and bush fires
broke out, or, rather, were set out, to
the %northward of Shasta the other day.
The sun shone SO dimly for several days
that noon appeared as deep twilight.
The Indians spearing fish on the Sacra-
mento hung their catch on the bushes to
utilize this prevailing smoke, and butch
ers and others who had beef and bacon
to smoke strung their meat up to take
advantage of the situation. Lamps and
lanterns were lightedln the middle of the
afternoon, and the SCOT carried in sus-
pension in the inky atmosphere vas so
thick, and the deposit was SO great, that
there was little distinction between eau
casians and our fellow citizens of AFRICAN
descent. The smoke was so heavy that
it laid the dust, chickens stayed on
their roosts all day, and the whole coun-
try for miles around smelled like n tar
and turpentino factory.-Shasta Cali

 Every lower animal is his own doctor. dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suffering from fever restrict their diet, keep quiet, seek dark, airy places, drink water and sometimes plunge into it. When dog has lost its ap- petite it eats that species of grass known as dogs grass, which acts as an eC1etic and a purgative. Cats also eat grass. Sheep and cows, when ill, seek out certain herbs. An animal suffering from chronic rheumatism always keeps gs far as possible in the sun. The warrior ants have regularly organized ambulances. Latreilis cut the antennss of the ant, and ether ants came and covered the wound with transparent fluid sseretsd in their mouths. If a chimpansee is wounded it stops the bleeding by placing it's hand on the wound or dressing it with leaves and grass. When an animal has wounded leg or arm hanging on it completss the amputa~ ton by means of it's teeth. A dog being stung on the muzzle by viper was observed to plunge it's head repeatedly for several days into running water. This animal eventually recovered. A terrier hurt it's right eye. It remained under counter, avoiding light and heat, although it habitually kept close to the fire. It adopted general treatment, rest and abstinence from food The local treat- ment consisted in licking the upper surface of the paw, which it applied to the wounded eye, again licking the paw when it became dry. Animals suffering from traumstic fe- yer treat themselves by the continued appli- cation of cold water, which M. Delaunay considers to be more certain than any of the other methods. In view of these interest ing facts we are, he thinks, forced to ad- init that hygiene and therapeutics ss pre- posed by animals may, in the interest of physiology, be studied with advantage Many physicians have been keen observers of animals, their diseases and the methods adopted by them in their instinct to cure themselves. and have availed of the knowl- edge so brought under their observation in their practice

SuperstitIORs About Dropping a Ra- Ker or Trusting a Patron.
 The barber dropped his razor, ,says the New Yerk Sun. The barber was white-hair- cd and time-searred. He sighed deeply as he picked the razor from the floor. He sighed again as he rubbed it earessingly with the chamois; and he pressed his lips together as he s1id it into 8 case and stack it gently in . dusky compartment near the top of the shelves before him. When he had strepped another razor he silently returned to his work. The half-shaved man in the chair, who had lazily watched the affair, said:
 Busted, eh.'
 'sNo, not hurt in any way; fell on the han- dle,n answered the barber, grimly. cts too bad. I've used that razor off and on now for 10 years. I never had razor like Dobbin. You could always depend on him for quick strop, and he got tired less than most other razers. It's like losing an old friend"
 ''Why, he-eh, hum-that is, ths razor ain't losti Thought yeu said it wasn't hurt. " "He ain't hurt. But then, you see, drop. ped him. Just the same as burying him. Can't use him again, of course. But you won't understand that. You see if , razor drops while you're using it, it's bad luck to ever shave with it again. I've always followed this rule. My father told me that 40 years ago.

roo MANY DOCTORS.


 That there are too many doctors of n.edi- cine in this country everybody knows except the man who can't find one when he wants him most. The president of the American Medical association, which is meeting in Gin cinnati, suggests plan for preventing such a rapid increase of the number as has been going on lately. He suggests that standing committee, called a Committee of Legisla- tion, shall be appointed for each State, ter riterv and the District of Columbia, to con- sist of five members of the medical profes- sion in good standing, three of whom shall have no official connection with any medical school or college, whose duty it shall be to carry out as far as possible the following in- structions: First, that each one of said com mittee, or a majority thereof, shall attend the sessions of their respective legislatures, or from time to time as their duties may re- quire, for the purpose of using all honorable means looking to the reduction of the num- Der of medical schools in the United States and 8 consequent diminutipn in the annual number of medical graduates; that as prac- tical measure to this end they urge the passage of law requiring that in the future l granting of charters for creating medical schools there shall be clause in every such ! charter requiring that all schools or colleges ! thus created shall demand 8 full term of foul years study before granting diploma to any student thereof, and that no student shall bs | admitted to matriculate who has not passed a satisfactory examination, both oral and written, in the ordinary branches of academic study; and further, that any college failing to show greater number than fifty matricu ! 1ates annually for three consecutive years ! shall forfeit it's charter and be abolished.

Not long since party of yeung nsn went from Boston to country town down in Maine for few days fishing. They had a full oat- fit of "tackle" and "ssar," and upon arrival at their destinatlin steod in need of bat enc thing-bait. After consulting thsir local ad- wiser, they secured the services of an ancient resident, who started ont to dig the needed Worsas. He was gone three or four hours, but to good purpose, for when he returned he had a water bucket even full of wriggling mass of earth worms. [ Now this was mora than the boys had bar gained for, and thoughts of what such an un- heard-of wealth of bait would cost began to trouble them. To end their suspsnae they appointed one of their number spokesman, with plenary powers, but with instructions to make the best bargain possible. "Hew much do we owe you?' he asked, approach ing the venerable bait digger and taking out his wallet.
 "Wen, don't rightly know." rejeined the old man; ''the ground is kinder solid and the worms is fur down, and it's been hard on my back to dig ena. But I've half notion te gc fshin' myself to- morrow, and if you'll give me half the bait we'll call it square,"
