There Was Trouble.

The money already expended exceeded
the estimates. and the question of changing
the location of the seat of government and
fixing il at Portland, was seriously agitsted.
Finally March the 18th. 1881, q resolve was
passed sppropriating $4,000, conditioned
that the ciuzens of Augusta give bonds in the
sum of $50 100. to furnish any sum of mon
ey above s25 900 acquired to complete the
public buildings. A meeting was held in
Augusta and the citizens after expressing
their disgust at the unjust conditions of the
appropriation, decided to meet the case !;
after two bonds had been presented and re-
jected one signed by Daniel Cony and some
sixty others uas accepted. Reuel Williams

public buildings Sith few exceptions which
he named: that he had received from all

rect March 3, . resolve was passed appro-
p-istins money to reimburse Mr.. Williams.
and $50 for his services. The resolve pro
yiaed that Mr.. williams should have the

In March 1888 a resolve was passed ap-
propriatipg si3 5e2 10 in favor of Mr..
Williams for additions. alterations and other
expenditures. and $500 additions! for his
services. This resolve aleo declared the
bond given BY the people Of Augusta for

demand the amount of $50 600 of the sigus RS

Wonders of Modern Surgery.

Some most remarkable surgical achieve nents by Dr. MaximilIan Klein are chron- icled in Memorabilieu. a professional journal A man accidentally had the great toe of the left foot cut off in the middle of the first joint. The severed piece remained hanging to the foot, but the connecting skin was scarcely thicker than a thread. Dr. Klein sewed on the fragment, dressed it with iodo- form, and had the satisfaction, in twenty two days. of finding the wound healed and the toe perfectly sound and flexible.
 Encouraged by unexpected success, Dr. Klein who is q German military surgeon, applied similar treatment in another in stance 4 recruit, in order to disable himself and 50 escape from military service, deliber- ately cut off his forefinger with an ax at the second joint. The finger end was lost and could not be found until half an hour had elapsed It was then cold and b,us Never theless Dr. Klein sewed it to the stump and applied a bandage of iodoform gauge. As early as the second day it was evident tGat circulation had been partially reestablished throughout the finger, and in six weeks the man had not only left the hospital, but was doing the very rife drill which he had hoped to shirk. The finger was, in fact, as ser viceable as it had ever been.
 There is a decidedly Munchausenish flavor about these stories, but their appearance 1T a reputable journal, together with the won derful advances in modern surgical science entities them to some credit.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Electric Sunstroke-R Remarkable Achieve
 meuts of Modern Surgery.

ments of Modern Surgery.
 A curious instance of a new ill following in the train of modern inventions is that of electric sunstroke. A French physician states that workmen employed in operating electric forges at certain large steel works are sub iect to form of sunstroke, which he attrib utes to the intense light radiated from the focus of the forge. Ordinary arc lights are incapable of producing such effects, as the light is not sufficiently intense, but these forges emit a light of more than a hundred thousand candles from few square centi- meters of surface, producing on men exposed to their glare physiological consequences previously unheard of. Frequently, after two or three hours work, the men complain of pains more or less intense in the neck, the face and the forehead, simultaneously with which the color of the skin is changed to red dish brown Further, in spite of the pre- caution taken by the men of shielding their eyes with dark glasses. the retina is affected to such a degree that for some minutes after ceasin9 work the operatives arc totally blind to all objects ilumined with common daylight, nor is perfect vision restored till nearly an hour after. The con junctiva are irritated and remain in state of congestion for forty eight hours. and this is accompanied by a painful feeling, as of some foreign body introduced under the eye lids. The secretisn of tears is augmented, a ] constant flow being kept up for twenty four hours, during which the patient suffers from insomnia, due to pain and the abnormal flow of tears, and possibly also to fever. During the following days the skin peels off the face and neck, which become of deep red color, fading away about the fifth day In cases of ordinary sunstroke, heat may have some in fiuence; but in those considered above the whole effect is due solely to the action of an | intense light

 We cull the following from the last issue of The Arizona Kicker:
 SUSPENDED With this issue we suspend tho agricultural department, established five weeks ago We instituted this feature as an experiment, and to help out a literary tenderfoot from the east, who was bare footed and penniless, but who was fertile of suggestions. The experiment was a failure.
 We have biddcn the tenderfoot Q perma- nent and lasting adieu, and we now bid fare well to agriculture as a set thing. We shall occasionally refer to the subject in a reckless, oIhand way, taking chances on results, but there will be no further studied attempt to make the sandy plains get up and hump themselves into fields of waving corn, and we shant cover the rocky hillsides hereabout with vineyards CT patches of deceptive buck wheat.

 NOTICE TO CoNTIIBUToRs.-We cannot return rejected manuscripts. If not accom- panied by stamps we use them to light the office fire If stamps are sent we use them on our business letters. If the author of "Seven Buckets of Blood, or the Corkscrew's Revenge" will send her address to this office she will hear of something to her advantage We have received q sketch entitled Bob tailed Bob, or the Robbers of Bobbers Hill" which we will publish on receipt of the au- thors check for $50 We must respectfully decline the stories entitled "Her Father Booted Me- and "An Adventure with h. dians in France" They seem to have an i'm moral tone.
 STEADILY IMPROVING. Since our last issue Col. Fairbanks has had three rods of beauti- ful picket fence erected in front of his adobe, and the Gem saloon has received three bar rels of whisky and a new pier glass We chronicle these improvements in no boastful spirit, but simply that outsiders may know that the spirit of progress is not dead within us. We are going right to the front as Q town.

The Elarrey Stone.

A popular tradition attributes to the blarney stone the power of endowing whoever kisses it with the sweet, persua- sive, wheediing eloquence so perceptihle in the language of the Cork people, and which is generally termed blarney. This is the true meaning of the word, and not, as some writers have supposed, a faculty of deviating from veracity with an un- blushing countenance, whenever 1t may be convenient.
 The curious traveller will seek in vain the real stone. unless he allows himself to be lowered from the northern angle of the lofty castle. when he will discover it about twenty feet from the top, with the inscription, "Corlnac MacCarthy fortis mo fieiifecit, A. D., 144j."-St. Louis Republic.

Some of my bird friends who spend their winters in Mexico, says a writer in St. Nicholas, have told me how the birds there manage to store and eat the acorns, of which they are as fond as robins are of strawberries. In order to save the desired morsel, the birds carry the acorns in their bills, some times for miles, to the steep dry sides of a mountain which in winter is covered with the hollow stalks of the last years agave flowers. Beginning at the bottom, they bore, with their skillful beaks, little holes in these dead stalks. The holes are then filled with acorns, and by and by, when food grows scarce, our birds come back to their noun tain side store houses, take ont an acorn at 8 time and fly with it to neighboring yucca tree, in the bark of which they bore an open- ing large enough to hold tine acorn firmly; then they can insert the nut, break it open and eat it in comfort.

Sugar in waterme1ons.

According to the report of the commis- sioner of agriculture for 1886, it appears that there was considerable inquiry in that year concerning the possibility of making sugar from watermelons, and the chemist of the department made an analysis with view to ascertaining the quantity of crystallizable sugar in this fruit. The result of a number of analyses showed that in no case could watermelons be used for the manufacture of crystallized sugar. The highest percentage of sucrose found in any case was 4l9 The mean of the whole number of analyses of sucrose was 192. If our readers will refer to the report alluded to, pages 345, 346, 347, 3iS and 349, he may gather further informa- ton on this subject.

Attributes of tho Emerald.

The Greeks dedicated the emerald to Mer. cury. The Turks believe it will make a coward brave and will avert plague. It has been held to denote success in lie, and the Hndoos believe that it gives the wearer power to avert plague and invests him with courage, The following stanza has beer urged as a sentimental definition of the emcrall:
 Who first beholds the light of day
 In springs sweet fiowery month of May
 And wears an emerald all her life
 Shall be loved and happy wife.

Four Hundred Years Ago.

In one of the ancient libraries of Paris, t1lls Youths Companion, there is a copy of a child's reader printed at Dion, in Bur gundy, 3SS years ago It shows that the mo- ton of making the acquisition of knowledge agreeable to children is not of recent origin. The boo. bears on the title page the name of the book, which is simply Roast Pig, and contains also picture of pretty little pig on spit roasting before fire.
 At the top of every page in this reader is a picture of something good to ent, such as an apple, pear, tart a leg of mutton, saul sage, and under the picture the name of the object is printed in large and in small type. Then follows few lines of reading about it, sometimes in rhyme, sometimes in plain prose. Thus, under pleasing picture, which would be very interesting to boy before dinner, we read in French:
