According to Charles Thielsen, the
gentleman who made the trip from the
mouth of the Colorado river to Salton
an an eighteen-foot skiff, a paradise
awaits the man who shall take up resi-
dence where the Colorado empties into
the gulf
A man can live there and be happy

there are thousands of 'quails and rab-

Joyable hunting. The Cocopah Indians
occupy the territory, and to the south
east the Papagos range.
The Papagos are a warlike and fight
ing race, but l do not know of their
having troubled any body. The Coco
pahs are strange people. They never
eat fish. but prefer the mesquite bean.
Some of the young Cocopahs will kill
and eat Colorado salmon, which they
hnd in the reeds, but the older ones
look on fish with perfect adherence.
The Papagos, l am assured. are very
fond of clans, and the huge piles of
shells testify that they must have pc

My purpose in going down to the
mouth of the Colorado was to hunt the
plumes of the egret- This is heron,
about the size of half-grown rooster,
and its feathers are highly priced in
New York. 1t is said that these plumes
are at the best during the breeding sea-
son. and are found between the wings
and tail. They are light, extremely
light and their market value is $50 an

ceels of their guns than in any hunt

are many objects of interest down
there, such as the volcano mountains,
the sulphur beds, and on the Sonora
side are wonderful hot springs, while
those who have never seen a bore can
have this experience. I do not mean
the common ordinary bore such as can
be found in every city, but the great

FRUIT AS MEDICINE.
A Test by Which the Various Qualities
Nav be Discovered.

A Test by Which the Various Qualities
Nav be Discovered.
A noted medical authority of Phila-
delphia gives the following test of the
medicinal action of various fruits. He
says. however that no edible fruit has
q strict medicinal effect, but operates
by assisting the natural tendencies of
the system. Under the category of
laXatives. oranges, figs, tamarinds,
prunes, mulberries, dates, nectarines
and piums may be included: pome-
granates, cranberries, blackberries,
sumach berries. dewberries, raspber-
ries. ounces, pears, wild cherries and
medlars are astringent: grapes, peaches,
Strawberries. whortleberries, prickly
pears, black currants and melon
seeds are diUretics: gooseberries,
red and white currants. pump
kius and melons are refrigerants, and
lemons. lines and apples are refriger
ants and stomachic sedativeS. Taken
in the early morning. an orange acts
very decidedly as Il laxative. sometimes
amounting to purgative, and may
generally be relied upon.
Po-ngranates are very restringent and
relieve relaxed throat and uvals. The
bark OF the root. in the form of de-
coctioa. is n good authelmintic, espe-
cially obnoxious to tapeworm. Figs,
split open. form excellent poultices for
boils ard small assesses. Strawber-
ries and lemons, locally applied. are of
some service in the removal of tartar
frCIu the teeth. Apples are
correctives useful in nausea. They i'm
rnediately remove the nausea due to
smoking. Bitter almonds contain ny
droc;anic acid, and are useful in simple
cough. but they frequently pro-
duce a sort of urticaria, or nettle
rash. The persimmon, or diospyros,
is palatabl when ripe, but the green
fruit is highly astringent, containing
much tannin. and is used in diarrhra
and incipient dysentery. The oil of the
cocoanut has been recommended as a
substitute for cod-liver oil. and is much
used IN Germany for phthisis- Barber
ries are very agreeable to fever patients
in the form of a drink. Dutch medlars
are astringent, and not very palatable.
Grapes and raisins are nutritious and
aemulcent. and very grateful in the
sick chamber. 4 so-called grape cure"

Some Interesting Figures from the In

Some Interesting Figures from, the Indi-
Experiment. Station.
Facts obtained by careful experiment
will have TO be appealed to. to settle
finally whether silage is, after all, SO
much better than other fodder We
have of late given the results of some
experiments.
The figures obtained by the Indiana
experiment station seem quite conclu-
sive. And yet one swallow does not
make a summer. 1t does not answer
to generalize from too few facts.
The experiment was with eight
steers. They were divided into two
lots and q comparison made of the
growth of the animals, each receiving
the same grain ration. but lot one get
ting corn Stage, and lot two clover
hay. The animals were in good flesh,
no one had been ont of condition during
the winter, they were yearlings past.
and there was a difference of but
forty-six pounds in the weight of the
two lots. They were confined to
stauchions, but received about two
hours of exercise per day in a paddock
free of food. They were watered once
day and weighed every Saturday
ing the forty-two days of this expert
ment all appetites were good, and each
animal was only fed what he would eat
up clean.
The gained in weight from forty five
to ninety pounds each; the total gain of
the four fed on ensilage being 297
pounds, while the four fed on clover
hay gained 234 pounds, being an aver
age gain per day of 1. IS pounds for the
J former and Il pounds for the latter.
The food consumed by the steers dur
ing the forty-two days was as follows:

Of an ex-congressman of Florida and a Yankee tourist the following story is told. The southerner proposed wager of ten dollars that, bare to the waist he could lie face down upon the ground for thirty minutes, during which time any motion on his part tending to drive away a visiting mosquito or other in- sect should be considered an admission of defeat. The proposition was accept ed and the ordeal entered upon at once. It soon became apparent that, though mosquitoes in swarms were feasting themselves to repletion, they pos sessed no powers of annoyance so far as the honorable gentleman was concerned, and that barring accidents he was certain winner. Twenty five minutes passed and the eX-congress- man still remained motionless A happy thought struck the tourist. Taking from his pocket a burning glass that happened to be in his pos session he focused it on the bare flesh before him. The ex-congressman stood it for a moment, then winced, twisted and finally, unable to endure it longer, sprang to his feet with the remark: Well, Yanl, you've won; but if you'll bar yellow jackets I'll go you another ten dollars.'-N Y.
