ElectrO-Magnetic Influence and Its Eff
fects on the Human System.

Electro Magnetic Influence and Its Eff
fects on the Human System.
AS the world advances in age and the
people become more enlightened, the
old schools of medicine gradually give
way to modern science. The God-given
powers OF electricity and magnetism
supplant the drastic drugs of the phar-
macopeia. The "nostrums infernal'' are
only kept for human gargoyles. Among
the most prominent professors of the
new curative age are Drs. Darrin. Won
drous to relate, they are especially sue
cessful in curing all nervous, chronic and
private diseases, such as Loss of Manhood,
Blood Taints, Syphilis, Gleet, Gonorrhea,
Structure, Spermatorrh9a,S Seminal Weak
ness or loss OF desire of sexual power in
man or woman. All peculiar Female
Troubles, Irregular Menstruation, Dis
placement, etc., with little or no medi-
cine. The certificates of cures made
by these celebrated physicians would
fill volume. They embrace every dis
ease to which humanity is exposed.
The remedies are painless, almost pleas
ant and infallible. Drs. Darrin are en-
titled to great credit for their almost
miraculous discoveries in the art of
electromagnetic healing. There is no
durable known malady that they cannot
conquer. The following card speaks
louder than anything we can say:
DR.. Steel Cured by DR.. Darrin.
CARD TO THE PUBLIC: have for the
past two years been afflicted with chronic
pericarditis, accompanied with great
pain around the heart all that time,
with excessive circulation, sleepless
nights, fear and distress. 1 was unable
to attend to the duties OF my profession.
l had exhausted my knowledge of medi-
cine, as also that of my colleagues, and
found no relief until coming under the
electromagnetic treatment of Drs. Oar
rim. A little more than year has
elapsed since received this treatment,
and can truthfully say that lam cured.
I have none of my former trouble, and
wish thus to give my personal expert
ence in the interest Of humanity. /
have been practicing physician four
teen years, and am we'll known in this
city and in Marshfeld, Oregon. deem
it but justice to the public and to Drs.
Darrin to write the above.

Mr.. S. ]. Mings Will Make Things
Warm for Certain Persons.

w a. IA AOA SSA Vail SASohSs
S. j. Mings has returned to Gatesville,
Texas, where he will proceed to make
things warm for certain parties. Mr..
Mings resigned from the presidency Of
the First National bank of that city and
decided to come to Southern California.
He came and was enjoying himself
hugely, when the news came by tele-
graph that charges had been made
against his conduct of the bank. He
at once returned to GatesTille.
The Fort Worth Gazette mentions his
return and speaks of him as follows:
"Mr. Mings could not state positively
how the ISLANDERS originated, but he has
an idea and will probe the matter to the
bottom. He leaves for home this morn
ing, and will not stop his investigation
until the person or persons who have
slandered him are discovered and puns

impatiently on its previous perch, some
ten feet of, until the robin had left, when
1t visited the nest as before Iciimbed the
tree for closer inspection and found only
well-regulated nest. After coming dowr,
| walked around the tree and discovered a
hole, and upon looking in saw a nest of
sleeping, featherless wrens. At no time
while was in the vicinity had the wren
visited these little ones.
OF all our birds, the wren seems the
most overlooking with life and activity.
Probably in this instance il had stuffed its
own young to repletion when its own
activity bubbled over into the nest of its
neighbor. Ii is well known that the male
wren frequently builds what are called
"cock-nests." It is simply so full of life
and Joy and OF the propagating instinct
that after the real nest is completed, and
while the eggs are being laid, il gives vent
to itself in constructing these sham, or
cock-nests. ] have found the nest of the
marsh wren surrounded by half dozen
or more of these make-believers. The
gushing, ecstatic nature of the bird ex-
presses itself in this way.
| have myself known but one instance of
O bird lending hand in feeding young not
its own. This instance is to be set down
to the credit of female English sparrow.
A little 'chippie" had on her hands the
task of supplying the wants of that horse
row looked on from its perch q few yards
away. and when the chippie was off look
ing up food il would now and then bring
something and place it in the beak of the
clamorous bunting. think the "chippie"
appreciated its good Offices. Certainly its
dusky foster child did. This bird, when
young, seems the most greedy of all fedge-

sat down upon a rock. Then / lifted
up my eyes and beheld a newiy-con-
structed crows nest in hemlock tree
near by. The nest was but little above
the level OF the top of ledge of rocks only
few yards away that crowned the rim Of
the valley. But it was placed behind the
stem of the tree from the rocks, so as 10
be secure from observation on that side.
The crow evidently knew what she was
about. Presently heard what appeared
10 be the voice OF young crow in the
tree tops not far off, This / knew to be
the voice of the female and that she was
being fed by the male. She was probably
laying, or about beginning to lay eggs in
the nest. Crows, as well as most
of our smaller birds, always go
through the rehearsal of this act of
the parent feeding the young many times
while the young are yet long way in the
future. The mother bird seems timid and
babyish and both in voice and manner as
sumes the character of young fiedgeling.
The male brings the food and seems moro
than usually solicitous about her welfare. Is
it to conserve her strength or to make an
impression on the developing eggs? The
same thing may be observed among the
domestic pigeons and is always a sign that
a new brood is not far of.
When the young do come the female is
usually more active in feeding them than
the male. Among the birds of prey, like
hawks and eagles, the female is the larger

The death rate OF Mexico city is very

not for the perpetually bright sun and the
high altitude, the city would be morgue

cumulated mass of filth increasing year by
year and sinking down into the soil, and
you have some idea of sanitary Mexico
city. A constant miasma rises here
at night, and the water is only three feet
under the city. Is il any wonder that
there is no place in the world where
typhus and typhoid fever is so prevalent
as here, and is il not surprising that the
Mexican capital is for many people
favorable health resort? The climate is
so equitable, the thin, dry air and the hot
sun suck up the juices of decomposition,
and such people as are careful and sleep
above the ground floor are in little danger.
Outside of the city there is no danger
whatever and if il had been built on high
ground it would be the finest health re-
sort in the world. As it is, foreigners

cemeteries contain many occupants

met several Americans who told me that
their lives have been saved by their COM
ing TO Mexico, and this country is said 10
be the best resort in the world for con-
sumpilyes. The great death rate comes
from the lower classes who sleep right on
the sewer-like ground. and the Mexican
agent Of the Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany tells me that during his first twenty
eight months here, he did not have 4

and more powerful, and therefore better
able to defend and to care for her young.
Among all animals, the affection of the
mother for her offspring seems to be great
err than that of her mate, though among
the birds, the male sometimes shows q
superabundance of paternal regard that
takes in the young of other species. Thus
a correspondent sends me this curious
incident of q male bluebird and some
young vireos. A pair of bluebirds were
rearing their second brood in box on the
porch of my correspondent, and pair of
vireos hac nest with young in some lilac
bushes but few feet away. The writer
had observed the male bluebird perch in
the lilacs near the young vireos, and. he
feared, with murderous intent. On such
occasions the mother vireo would move
among the upper branches much agitated.
II she grew demonstratiye the bluebird
would drive her away. One afternoon the
observer pulled away the leaves so as to
have full view of the vireos' nest from
the seat where he sat not ten feet away.
Presently he saw the male bluebird come
to the nest with a worm in its beak, and as
the young yireos stretched up their gaping
mouths he dropped the worm into one of
them. Then he reached over and waited
upon one of the young birds as its own
mother would have done. A few moments
after he came to his own brood with
worm or insect. and then the next trip he
visited the nest of the neighbcr again.

seolded him sharply as she watched his

THE NAUGHTY DOLL.

Ny dolly is dreadful care
Her name is Miss Ainandy;
dress her up and curl her hair
And feed her taffy candy.
Yet, needless of the pleading voice
OF her devoted mother,
She will not wed her mothers choice.
But says she'll wed another.
I'd have her wed the china vase
There is no Dresden rarer:
You might go searching every place
And never find a iaircr;
he is gentle, pinkish youth
OF that there's no denying
Yet when speak of him, forsooth,
Amandy falls TO crying
She loves the drum-that's very plain
And scorns the vase so clever,
And weeping, vows she will remain
spinstcr doll forever
The protestattous of the drum
am convinced are hollow;
When once distressing times should come,
How soon would ruin follow.
Yet all in vain the Dresden boy
From yonder mantel woos her
A mania for that vulgar toy,
The noisy drum, imbues her!
In vain wheel her to and fro
Andreasou with her mildly:
Her waxen tears in torrents flow.
Her sawdust heart beats wildly.
I'm sure that when I'm big and tall
And wear long trailing dresses,
] sha'n't encourage beaux at all
Till mamma acquiesces;
Our choice will be a suitor then
As pretty as this vase is
Oh, how we'll hate the noisy men
With whiskers on their faces!
