cumstances. When Mr.. Seward was in
Alaska says his son, the people were
naturally very DESTROYS to treat him
handsomely.

disappointed at obtaining no beef by
the last steamer, as all were looking
for steaks.

cARNlvoRous PARROTS.
A Bird That Feasts Upon the Fat
Sheep.

Bird That Feasts Upon the Fat of
sheep.
The kea, or mountain parrot of New
Zealand, greenish- bird, former
ly as harmless as others of his class, has
developed carnivorous habit as fas-
tidious as that of epicures. 1t used to
feed on the berries that grew luxuriant-
ly on the hills, but it has changed that
simple diet since the multiplication of
sheep; perhaps fires, too, made that
natural food scarce. 1t now takes a
terrible revenge on its unconscious
enemy.
Fastening itself on the back of poor
sheep, perhaps stuck in snowdrift
and savagely tearing away wool, skin
and flesh, it plunges its powerful beak
into the kidney fat, which it devours,
and then, leaving one victim to die In
agony, goes off in search of another.
Though it is as difficult to feel individual
affection for sheep where they are
slaughtered by millions as it would be
to care for hogs in Chicago, the most
unsentimental shepherd can not refrain
from plying one of his own flock that
he finds In such condition, and from
invoking maledictious on the whole
race Of keas.
How they found out that kidney IA,
was such a delicacy can only be conjec
tured-perhaps in the same indirect
manner in which Charles Lambs China
man discovered thatyoung roast pig wa;

HOW WE GROW OLD.
Deteriorations of the Secretions of the
Body.

Deteriorations of the Secretions of the
Body.
Anatomical researches respecting the
influence of age upon the bodily tissues,
have in recent years revealed some very
interesting and important facts. 1t has
been observed that in consequence of
advancing age, after middle life the
capillary vessels of the body gradually
diminish in number, through the with
ering and obliteration of many Of these
small vessels, until, in advancing age,
the number of capillaries, and hence
the area, of this portion of the circu-
lation is very greatly diminished. An
other change also begins after middle
life,' which is of still greater impor-
lance. UP to about the age of forty
years, the pulmonary artery, the large
vessel which carries the blood from the
heart to the lungs, is larger than the
aorta, the vessel by which the blood is
distributed to the body in general. The
consequence of this excess in size of
the pulmonary artery over the aorta, is
high blood pressure in the lungs, and
consequently more complete purifica-
ton of the blood from its gaseous inn
purities than would otherwise occur.
After middle life, the pulmonary artery
decreases in size, and the aorta in
creases. This fact, together with the
increased resistance which the blood
meets in consequence of the diminished
capacity of the pulmonary vessels, re-
suits in gradually increasing accumu-
lation of carbonic acid gas in the blood,
which reacts upon every organ and It's
sue in the body, lessening its activity,
and causing deterioration of every Sc
cretion.-Dr. J. II. Kellogg, in Good

She, Very Likely, Put Herself In Her New

An East Side man, the father of a
very interesting family, recently had
occasion to throw his shoulders back
couple of notches farther, and lift his
head little higher. 1t was all on ac-
count of new arrival in his family in
the shape of an eleven pound boy. As
soon as the nurse thought best, the
father called his children about his
knee and surprised them with the start
ling information that they had new
brother, As he expected, they were all
DESTROYS of viewing the new arrival and
so the excited urchins were led into the
room where the little one lay. As was
natural, each one had some comment to
make on the appearance Of the infant
but the only one worth chronicling was
that of little seven-yesr-old sister

TACOMA, Oct. 31-The state land
Commissioner has received notices of sew
eral contests on about 1000 acres Of land
in Whatcom county, which were tiled
upon by the state as a portion Of the
state land grant. The contests in the
main are on the ground Of prior settle
ment. The state has no money with
which to fight the contests, and they
will in all probability go by default
The same difficulty is being experienced
with school lands in various counties be-
cause of numerous coal claims and min
eral filings. Contests are also being
made on indemnity school lands selected
by county commissioners for reason that
selections were not properly made. The
law does not make it the duty of any
person to look after these contests ex-
cept that the land commissioner is given
general control over the state lands.
There is not one dollar of appropriation
with which to protect the rights of the
state. AS a result much valuable school
land is passing into the hands of private
parties.

About O'Clock p. M, the Northern Pacific
men had about gained possession of the field and
tho Union Pacific men were getting desperate
j. A. Turner, section foreman on the N. 2. ut
Garfield, was standing on tie when some of the
.. P. men tried to take it away to be replaced
by one of their own. To this Turner objected
and kept his stand on the tie. This enraged ]
C. Brannan, section foreman on the U. P, at
this place, that he stepped up behind Mr. Turner
and invited him to get off, in language more
forcible than polite. Upon his refusal to comply
Brannan struck him a wicked blow on the head
with his lantern, badly cutting Turner's head
and falling him to the earth. After striking
by Turner's men who soon overlook him and
felled him to the ground with heavy crowbar.
Eye witnesses say that Brannan would have been
killed had not the men been taken off. As he
was quite badly hurt. The Union men then
withdrew and the Northern men worked all night
and got their track laid and cars placed thereon
effectually shutting out their opponents.
Monday morning Turner appeared and swore
out a warrant for Brannan on charge of assault
and battery. Constable Largent arrested Bran
nan and brought him before Justice Fisk where
he plead guilty and was fined five dollars and
cost which he paid.
1t is not known what steps the U. P. company
will take but they will probably drop the matter
as it is not thought they can succeed. The

have the ground on condition that the grain be
