Ac,Ion Of Hot and cold wat.r.

1t is somewhat surprising that cold
water and hot water should differ 80
radically In effect upon corpulent peo-
pie. The former certainly favors their
complaint. 1t is a well known fact
that beer is f~attening, but it owes such
action almost entirely, if not absolutely,
70 the water. Here il is interesting 70
note the experiment of a German ply
stefan. For four years he drank two
gallons Of beer daily, and increased his
weight seventy-eight pounds. On stop
ping the beer he lost fourteen pounds
in seven days. In corpulent people the
fattening effect Of cold water is always
greater il it is INDUCED in freely with
the meals or shortly after them.
A probable explanation is that by
distending the stomach and diluting
the digestive fluids il retards digestion.
which process. as already said, is sell
dom, If ever, as active as it ought TO be
in corpulent subjects. Hot water, on
the other hand, stimulates digestion,
and at the same time promotes a freer
action Of the liver, kidneys and bowels.
Beyond this it favors the elimination of
waste through the pores Of the skim

worth Il. WEIGHT in Gold.

In China there IS a root called Khe-
H-ye, which often sells for from twenty
TO one hundred times its weight in gold.
In Nanchuria the same root. under a
different name, if anything o unpro
nounceable;- sells equally as high. These
roots, which in order TO be highly valu-
able must be of a peculiar shape, are
bought only by mandarins, priests and
others of the wealthiest classes. Single
roots Of this plant not weighing more
than the tenth of an ounce are said to
often sell for from fifty to twenty-five
dollars each. What is still more re-
markable about this valuable eastern
root is the TACT that it is a closely allied
species. if not identical, with our com
mon ginseng.-St Louis Republic.

AUSTIN coReuS's GAME PARK.
Difficulties Encountered in Getting and
Arranging the Land.

Difficulties Encountered in Getting and
Arranging the Land.
As most of our readers know. there is
plenty Of land in New Hampshire that
is Just as wild now as il was when Hud-
son first looked on the ground where
the Statue of Liberty now stands. There
was a deal of il in Sullivan county
perhaps not the widest in the state,
but certainly a plenty Of unbroken
forest that covered hills and valleys and
surrounded little lakes-forests of birch
and beech and maple and pine and
spruce and hemlock and balsam; for
ests beautiful and fragrant enough TO
give a city man the heartache when he
thinks Of them. Mr.. Corbin deter
mined to buy from 20, 700 TO 10000
acres of these hills and valleys and there
establish a park for his new found four
footed friends in which they would find
the conditions as a as possible TO
which they were best suited.
Everybody knows that New Hamp-
shire farms in the back country will not
bring the price of the buildings at Ordi-
nary sale, but Mr.. Corbin could not
buy all that land without people learn
ing that much land was wanted.
Thereat prices rose amazingly, and soil
that wouldn't raise oats brought the
prices of truck farms in Jersey. II takes
a stack of money TO buy a game park
where 500 different people hold the
titles TO the tracts. Still, the location
was suitable for the purpose, and more
over, there was the old home. Mr..
Corbin had to have il at any price. and
he eventually got %. 1000 acres in one
tract.
The next thing was 10 fence il, and
only those who have tried building elk
tight fences can appreciate the job.
Here was a tract Of over thirty-hve
square miles Of land 70 inclose. They
started out with a wire net six feet
high, secured TO stout posts ten feet
apart. Above the net they strung ten
lines Of barbed wire, and that made a
right good fence. But when eighteen
miles had been erected they abandoned
the net and used barbed wire only for
the rest of the way. That was cheaper
and just as good. Ii is not uninterest-
ing TO note that the fencing cost S74.-
600.
In all nine gates are placed in this
fence. with a keepers lodge at each
gate. something made necessary by the
presence in every community Of the
skulking lout who will steal or destroy
the property Of the well TO do, and es-
pecially such property as this fence will
inclose. Mr.. Corbin is sure his park
will not in any way interfere with the
rights of legitimate sportsmen-
Here in this tract Of woodland. with
only enough cleared land on il TO af
ford meadows over which the animals
would like 70 wander at times, are
gathered twenty-five buffalo, sixty elk,
over seventy deer, half a dozen each OF
caribou and antelope, eighteen wild
bOars imported from Germany and an
unknown number of moose, perhaps q
dozen He had four reindeer brought

Tin Mining in England by the Romans.

Tin Mining in England by the Romans.
As soon as the Romans made a con
quest Of Britain they formed in the tin
province camps and roads (still visible),
and left behind them vases, urns,
sepulchers. and money that exhibit
daily proofs Of their having been "a
stationary people in these parts, and
that Damnonium extended even TO the
Polerian promenotory or the Lands
End. limited by the western parts Of
Somersetshire. The Romans, as is well
known occupied Britain from b. c. So
TO A. ID. 400. or AGA years, during which
period the Cornish tin mines were large
ly worked by the ancient Britains, pos
sibly for their own advantage. but more
probably as serfs, and in A. ID. 400 the
Romans had to give way to the Saxons

The Angry Tree.

The angry tree" a woody plant
which grows from ten to twenty-five
feet high, and which was formerly sup
posed to exist only in one state in the
Union, Nevada, has been found both
in Eastern California and in Arizona
If disturbed, this peculiar tree shows
every sign Of vexation, yer to ruffing
up its leaves like the hair on an angry
cat, and giving forth an unpleasant,
sickening odor.-St. Louis Republic.

They Don't Bury rhsir Dog. There.

A letter recently received from Al,
American missionary in Central Africa
reveals a curious bit of superstition OIL
the part Of the natives in regard TO the
burying of dogs. The letter says: The
king Of Bihe made a great disturbance
because Mr.. Arnot. a Scotch mission
airy, buried in the ground a dog which
he had been obliged { kill. The chief
sent word that this was a crime, and
that the missionary must take up the
body and throw it into the river. After
this he must kill a chicken and sprinkle
its blood upon the ground where the
dog had been buried.
Now. il was not deemed best TO
anger the king by refusing to do as he
commanded. so Mr.. Arnot took up the
body Of the dog and threw it into the
river and paid a fine All they can
pay with is cotton cloth, and Of this
Mr.. Arnot had to pay forty yards, But
he did not sprinkle the blood of the
chicken on the ground, because that
would look like paying homage to the
spirits However. there was an old
native who felt that this must be done
in order to avert evil consequences, so
he killed the chicken and wen through
the ceremony. New York Tribune.

A City Of Pitfalls.

Ever since the Crimean war many OF
the populous thoroughfares Of Odessa
have been undermined In 1884 a law
was framed by the municipal council
(dooma). making it obligatory upon
every landlord to ill up the mine which
opens from his premises But obedi-
ence to that law was never insisted
its existence. OF late several accidents
have occurred where the ground on
the streets and sidewalks caved in and
fell into the mines. The municipal
council contemplated the enforcement
Of the law, but the house owners pre-
sented a petition against this measure
on the plea that the mines as used as
cellars for the storage of goods, and IL
they should be filed up their proper
ties would d~eteriorate in value.
HereupOn the city council adopted a
resolution obliging the landlords to line
the mines which open into their houses
with cemented walls so that the ground
above them should not cave in. In
cases where this cannot be done the
mines must be filed up. The landlord
who fails 10 do one thing or the other
will be responsible for all accidents that
may be caused by his negligence, and
be liable to an administrative fine" for
disobedience The board of city archi-
tects, moreover. drew up a plan Of all
the mines in the city, marking those

which must he closed Exchange.

Mayor John f. Blake RenOm'
mated Saturday.
Peter j. Collins the Candidate
For City Solicitor.
Avery Strong Ticket From Top TO
Bottom.
The Defeated Candidates Go Down
With Colors Flying,

The Democratic primaries Saturday
ehows clearly that much interest is taken
In the coming spring election, by the DEM
,crats at least The contest was lively
and the best of feeling prevailed among
the different candidates. All seemed to
realize that but one man could be nomi-
mated for each office, and they hustled to
the best of their ability. After the smoke
cleared away last night many of the de-
feated candidates met and rendered con-
Rratulations to those who had been
successful. The canvass was talked over
by the candidates and those who had not
beau fortunate enough to win pledged
Sheir support to the nominees
The contest Tor Mayor was perhaps the
most exciting. The three candidates
were on th6r metal and all made good
run. Eitker of them would have made
an excellent Mayor, and would have had
no troyble in defeating the Republican
nomiyee. Mayor Blake may well feel
proU of the victory, as he had a hard
fgH. Justice Mark X. Wettach
pilde a gallant fight and went down with
Iis colors flying. Mr.. John b. Michener
I /had his friends by the hundred who rallied
90 his support, and he certainly made a
good fight.
The contest for solicitor, street commits
sioner, market master, water works trus-
tee and constables, was lively and excit-
ing. The candidates for these offices
were all good men and il was difficult in
many cases for voters to make selection.
In come of the wards the contest for coun-
cilmen attracted much attention.
The ticket nominated is good one
from top to bottom and is worthy OF the
support of every Democrat in Canton, and
a little energy from now until election day
IL all that is needed to make it winner.

As Gen. Sherwood was on his was home
10 dinner to-day he was met on East us,
carawas street, by G. V. l.. Mellinger and
C. A. Dougherty. Nj. Mellinger stopped
him saying, II hear you are to have an
-tiitorial in the News DEMOCRAT this al
ternoon roasting me.n Gen. Sherwood
told him there was nothing of the kind.
MIR. Mellinger appeared TO be somewhat
apitated, When asked who informed him
he mentioned the name OF promlnent
Democrat. He was again assured that
the NEws-DEMoCRAT had no lntenuon OF
saving anything unkind about him. AT
this point as Gen. Sherwood was about to
90 his way (being in hurry to get BACK
to the office in order to get to press with
the first edition) Dougherty (wbo does
not usually speak to Sherwood) COM
menced the most violent abuse, minglng
oaths with vulgarity and shaking MS INST
in the most violent manner. Gen. Sher-
wood told him he would have no contro-
versy with him on the street and started
10 move on. AT this point Dougherty
said, ~ will kill you," and making
motion with his right hand, as Gen. Sher-
wood supposed to reach his revolver, he
caught Sherwood by the right arm to stop
him Sherwood pushed him aside, but
Doupherty was prevented from falling by
striking a dry goods box standing on the
sidewalk. Then Sherwood walked away
towards home, Dougherty in the mean
time filling the air with oaths.
We are since informed that Dougherty
was well armed and that
he went out for a row, and pre-
nared TO commit murder If necessary.
Cen. Sherwood discarded his revolver in
oct, 1865, when he was mustered out OF the
service, and has never carried one since,
He has lived over half century and
this is the first time he has ever been in
suited on the street by any person. After
Gen. Sherwood passed on, Meliinger ana
front of Miller's hardware store. When
Dougherty opened up on Sherrick, Mel
linoer went into the store and asked the
clerk for revolver, which the clerk las
we understand) refused to give him.
