The EFFORT of the regular Demo
cratic party in this county to bring
about harmony with the 800 or 60C
voters behind Michael Cassidy has
been unsuccessful as will be read in
an article found in another column of
this paper. Every concession possible
was made by the regular Democrats to
this wing of the party and all have
been spurned and the question now is
what next? If it were left to the
CARBON ADVOCATE, we would say 60
right into their own county meeting
and convention and lick 'em as they
were never licked before in any con,
test in the county. This would settle
them forever. 1t would end all
fsctional discoTd, and all chance for
open REVOLT. The regular Democracy
can carry every town and election dis
trict with but one or two exceptions
and this should be sufficient amnumi
tion to meet all requirements. In
Lehighton every ward will give regular
Democratic majorities. Then nomi

Came Back In "A Saucer.

When | was in Atlanta, Ga, some
time ago, said Mr. COnstine, was in
vited by friend TO visit peach can
merry in which he was employed.
After | had completed my tour Of the
cannery | missed valuable charm
that had been wearing on my watch
chain. / was sorry to lose it, for it
was the gift Of dead sister. l Of
fered liberal reward, but to no pur-
pose. returned home, and gave up
all hope Of recovering it. About two
months ago l came to the Pacific
coast on business. / arrived in Seat
tie about two weeks ago, since which
time L have been visiting friends who
live near Yesler avenue.
Yesterday noon / was down town
and stepped into restaurant for
lunch. After eating a very hearty
lunch | called for peaches and cream.
/ started to eat the peaches, and was
in the act of cutting one when the
spoon struck some hard substance. L
worked the substance out and held it
up to the light. 1t was my missing
charm.
The story is strange one, and 1
certainly should hardly be willing to
believe it myself if it were told to me
by a stranger, but nevertheless every
word Of it is strictly true. The only
way | can account for the mysterious
disappearance and recovery Of the
jewel is that it became detached when

new cOring and pairing machine in
which l was much interested, and fell
among the peaches without my noting
it and was thus strangely recovered.

Earthquakes I'm Japan.

During the nine years and six
months preceding December, 1884,
there had occurred in Japan, accord
ing to the official statement published
by the government, 553 earthquakes,
averaging one earthquake for every
six days and six hours. Professor
Milne was able to make the average
even greater than this, according to
q writer in the Illustrated American.
He could trace an average of an earth
quake per day in Nagasaki, in the ex-
pclagO. Probably the official statis-
tics were compiled from the returns
of officials from all over the country,
in which case only those shocks which
caused loss Of life or damage to prop
erty would be included. If this hypo-
thesis be correct, we should have an
average Of more than one earthquake
it caused injuries to life or property
sufficiently serious to attract the at
tenton of the local authorities, and,
in their judgement, to require re-
port to the central government.
Earthquakes being SO common peo-
pie scarcely notice them unless they
be extraordinary severe ones. For
instance, Miss Bird in her "Unbe-
aten Tracks" thus summarily dismiss
es two: "While we were crossing the
court there were two shocks Of earth
quake; all the golden wind bells which
fringe the roofs rang softly, and a
number OF priests ran into the tenn
pie and beat various kinds Of drums
for the space of half an hour"
AS every one knows, Japan is the
very hearth Of earthquakes. In 1854
more than sixty thousand people lost
their lives in consequence Of one of
these great terrestrial catastrophes,
and it has been calculated that from
ten to- twelve earthquakes, each last
ing several seconds, occur every year,
besides numerous Others Of too light
a nature to be worthy Of remark.

The POrcupine.

Who has not heard the backwoOds
hunter entertain his open-mOuthed
and equally as ignorant audience
with stories Of our gentle and inof-
fensive" porcupine, who threw his
quilts until the dogs were covered and
left in disgust, bowling with pain"
or some other "bosh" to the same
effect. How positively he makes the
assertion. There can be no doubt
that hunters Of this ilk frequently
say "bear" when they have seen
nothing more formidable than a
harmless grounding. Nature ar
mored our porcupine in manner that,
when excited and with spines raised,
woe to the quadruped or biped either,
for that matter, who comes in con-
tact with this bundle Of prickers.
"Porky's" body is covered with a thick
layer Of fat, in which the quilts or
spines are rather insecurity fastened.
Each spine has q set of minute barbs
at the outer end. But touch a spine
and it sticks, and can only be re-
moved by force. A dog or fox that
lacks experience and undertakes a
meal at the porcupine's expense
usually ends by filling with spines not
only his mouth, but his head and
paws as well, and not unfrequently
death results from his temerity.-

Can IL he Made ito Take the Place of Tea
and Coffee?

| Can It BE Made ito Take the Place of Tea
and Coffee?
A well-known medical journal is
recommending the kola nut as a
substitute for tea and coffee. The
nut, il is said, contains little tannin
and not much more caffeine. 1t is
claimed that it will soon take the
place of tea and coffee entirely.
A botanist, who has made special
study of the nut and its properties,
said to q Cincinnati Times-Star re-
porter: at is mistake to say that
the nut will take the place Of tea and
coffee. 1t has an astringent taste
that is unpleasant, and l do not be-
lieve that it will ever be used extern
sively, or at all, in civilized countries.
The kola nut is native Of the coasts
of Africa, but has been introduced
into and thrives well in the West In
dies and Brazil. 1t grows on a tree
forty feet high, which produces pale
yellow flowers spotted with purple.
The leaves of the tree are six or eight
inches long, and are pointed at both
ends. The fruit consists Of five long,
slender pods radiating from common
center. One Of these when broken
open is found to contain several nuts
somewhat similar to haZelnuts and Of
about the same size. The nuts are
solid, being slightly softer toward the
center than on the outside.
"The natives of the countries where
the nuts grow use them for various
purposes. They pass for money in
Africa. They are also used as a SYM
Dol of friendship and hate, the light
colored ones signifying the former,
and the dark the latter. They are
supposed to aid digestion, and it is
the practice to chew a small bit be-
fore eating meal. They allay thirst,
and if small piece be chewed and
held in the mouth while drinking, the
most bitter and stagnant water can
be taken, and will taste sweet and
agreeable. / doubt if this quality Of
rendering stagnant water pure is pos
siblc by the nuts. / rather think
that the aStringent taste of the nut
paralyzes the gustatory nerves mo-
mentarily, and for that reason the
water is not tasted. Hunger they are
also supposed to allay, but they do no
more than paralyze the nerves. They
have stimulating effect, and when
going on long marches the natives
chew bits Of the nuts continually,
and with about the same effect as If
Intoxicating liquor had been used,
though without the same bad results.
Powdered kola nut is sprinkled in
cuts and wounds and has healing
effect.
a chemical analysis of the nuts
shows them to contain 20 parts Of
caffeine and but fraction of a part
of tannin. No. it will never be used
in the place Of tea and coffee. Its
taste and chemical properties are
against it,"

The Skin of "a Mighty Grizzly.

There is bear skin on exhibition
in Hudson's gun store that takes the
cake. 1t is nine and half feet in
length and eight and half across in
the widest place. The bear that wore
this skin was grizzly and he lived in
far-off Alaska. Judging from the
size of the skin he must have been as
large as two ordinary cows and could
not have weighed less than $500
pounds. 1t is by far the largest bear
skin that has ever been seen in Port
land, and even old bear hunters who
are told Of its dimensions shake their
heads in an incredulous manner until
they see it with their own eyes,
