The Quicksands of Nebraska.

Qulcksand IS found III nearly all parts
of the country, but in very great guam
tity along the Platte river, in Nebraska.
1t is composed principally of mica, or
small particles of rock disintegrated
from large bodies of rock and subjected
to continuous washing process. The
water removes all the raggedness or an
gular shape from the particles. The
fragments become smooth and Shiny
and slip upon each other with the great
est facility, so that any heavy weight
resting upon this sand causes the par
ticles to be displaced. They separate
from the centre, allowing the weight TO
sink until solid basis is reached.
When particles of sand are ragged and
angular any weight pressing on them
will crowd them together until they
are compacted into solid mass. A
sand composed of mica or soapstone
mixed with water seems incapable of
such consolidation.

Scaled Liz 4 serpent.

Policeman Edward Dawson, of the Fourth
district, visited the Geological garden, not to
see the animals, but to seek medical advice.
On Officer DawSon's hand between the second
and third fingers is a little open wound, 10
larger than pin head, that has remained so
since 1866, when he was bitten by black
snake in Australia He wanted to find out
whether the keepers of the Zoo had any par
ticular specific for the bite OF a snake, and
told remarkable story.
Dawson passed his boyhood in Berwick
township, Gibbs Land, province of Vic
toria. When boy Of 10 years, playing in
the bush, he was bitten. He ran home, and
his mother sucked the wound to extract the
venom. His father, who was high police
official, sent for Professor Halford, of the
Melbourne hospital, who injected ammonia
into lie lads wrist, and no i'll effects lmme-
diately followed from the bite.
But for years Dawson has suffered from
most perplexing malady, which he cannot but
attribute TO the snakes bite. AS soon as
spring weather comes the palms Of his hands
develop scaly eruption which looks like the
underpart of a snakes body, and like
trouble appears in streaks on the legs below
the knees and on the feet. The very puncture in
the wrist, where Professor Afford injected the
ammonia, always shows dark circle around
it. The eruption is very painful, and Police
man Dawson has difficulty in gripping his
club when it is necessary 10 have it ready in
the discharge O. his duty.
Dawson has consulted eminent physicians
in this country and Australia, and has even
Travelled to India to see if native knowledge
of venomous serpents could find remedy for
his case. He says he has spent more than he
ever made in trying to get cured-Philadel-

ADJUSTMENTS.
HE, SHE, HIM, HER.

The best musical farce comedy that has
ever been given in our city was given at
the Crawford Grand last night. A
bright brilliant company of comedians
headed by George H. Adams and Toma
Hanlon, created more fun in two hours
and a half than has ever been in the
theatre. OF George Adams We can say his
comedy is of the kind that pleases but
never offends, it is pure mirth what he
does to create a laugh is done in a way
that even baby enjoys it as much as a
grand pa. Toma Hanlon is one of the
rleverest actresses in this line of business
that has ever visited us. She bubbles over
with good humor, and her refined romping
Is very charming. Her voice is better
than most of the comic opera prima
donna. Both the versatility of Mr. Adams
and Miss Hanlon is shown in the last act,
where they change their line of character
entirely and give some fine light comedy.
which is in strong contrast with the romp
ing In the first two acts. The company is
very strong and unusually so as regards
the musical numbers. Richard Morosio
was a favorite from his first entrance.
Mr.. Compton was little stilted as Rich

much of the part of Hosea Perinwinkle, a
farmer, excepting most unnatural gait,

Louther had not much to do, but looked
pretty and in this she succeeded, as did all
the ladies of the caste. The performance
gave extreme delight to large
audience, which showed its appreciation
by applauding almost everything In the
farm scene is introduced a lot of live stock
which behaved themselves in a most nM-
ural manner, and an intelligent donkey
played his part admirably. This play can
be commended as being comedy that
keeps one laughing from the rise to the

Unlike Christian people, the Chinaman
has no Sunday, when business ceases and he
can enjoy peace and ouietness for twenty
four hours. OF course in this country the
Celestials are obliged to stop work on the
Sabbath, and as the day means nothing to
them they play cards, gamble, smoke opium
or occupy themselves as best they can until
they begin toiing again on Monday. In
China business is carried on almost without
intermission the year round. As if to COM
pensate them for their lack of lone day of
rest in seven," they have numerous holidays
however; fewer, perhaps, than some other
natives of the world, but which are relig-
iously celebrated by the whole nation There
are of course, the national holidays, and al
most every province, besides having the ma
tional holidays to celebrate has many local
holidays and celebrations which are confined
almost exclusively TO certain cities or towns
