From the West we have caught
the word ''hustle," but we use it
humorOusly, not seriously, as the
Westerners do. To hustle with them
means to work, and to work ha.d.
The word always jars upon the ear
of an Eastern man when it is seri-
ously spoken, but it is preferable to
that other expression once dominant
in the West, but now all but aban-
dOned. That was the word ''rustle, {"
which despite its euphOnious sound
expresses an evil intention. The cow
boys invented it and applied it to
cattle-thieves, rustlers being che
swift raiders who stole upon the
grazing cattle on the plains, and
rustled off with as many head, or
beasts, as they could get away with.
Therefore rustic is the worse word of
the two. But both imply lack OF
consideration for others-a fogetful-
ness of everything save self-whicb
makes their case Objectionable.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE GIzzAao.
How II Aids the Ostrich to Display E,-
tTaorSinsry Digestive Ability.

paorsinary Digestive Ability.
4 fowls gizZard, where so many
iost articles turn up, is curious trap
as well as necessary vital organ of
the fowl Damonds, pearls, coin,
buttons, tacks, orange peel and about
everything else, save dynamite, have
been found in the gizzards of fowls.
A study OF the organ is interesting.
Experiments have demonstrated that
what may be called the gastric Juice
in fowls has not sufficient power to
dissolve their food without the aid Of
the grinding action Of the gizZard.
Before the food is prepared for di-
gestiOn, therefore the grains must be
subjected to a triturating process;
and such as are not sufficiently bruised
in this manner, before passing into
the gizzard, are there reduced to the
proper state by its natural action.
The action of the giZzard is, in this
respect, mechanical, this organ serving
as mill to grind the feed to pieces,
and then, by means of its powerful
muscles, pressing it gradually into
the intestines in the form of pulp.
The power of this organ is said to be
sufficient to pulverize hollow globules
o. glass in very short time, and
solid masses of the same substances
in few weeks The rapidity of this
process seems to be proportionate
generally to the size of the bird. A
chicken for example, breaks up such
substances as are received into its
stomach less rapidly than the capOn,
while a goose performs the same op-
Grafton sooner than either. Needles
and even lancets given to turkeys
have been broken in pieces and voided
without any apparent injury to the
stomach. The reason, undoubtedly,
is that the larger species of birds have
thicker and more powerful organs OF
digestion.
1t has long been the general opin-
ION that from some deficiency in the
digestive apparatus fowls are obliged
to resort TO the use of stones and
gravel in order TO enable them to dis
posed Of the food which they con-
sumo. Some have supposed that the
use of stones is to sheathe the giZZard
in order to fit it to break into smaller
fragments the hard, angular sub
stances which might be swallowed.
They have also been considered to
have a medicinal effect. Others
have imagined that they acted as alb
sOrbents Tor undue quantities of acid
in the stomach, or as stimulants to
digestion, while it has even been
gravelY asserted that they contribute
directly to nutrition. The Hartford
Times claims that repeated expert
ments, however, have established
that pebbles are not necessary to the
trituration of the hardest kinds OF
substances which can be introduced
into their stomachs; and, of course,
the usual food of fowls can be bruised
without their aid. They do, how
ever, serve useful auxiliary purpose.
When put in motion by the muscles
they are capable of producing some
effect upon the contents of the stOm-
ich, thus assisting to grind down the
grain and separating its parts, so that
the digestive fluid of gastric juice
comes more readily in contact with it.

The Postoffice Of San Francisco in
1s49 was frame building OF one
story and an attic on the corner OF
Claysand Pike streets. There was but
small accommodation there for clerks
and "handlers," and still less for the
impatient and peremptory crowd OF
home-hungry men who came daily,
but most oil all on mail day, which
was once a month, and took the small
windows and loopholes by storm. To
avoid confusion and dangerous con-
flict. long lines were formed, extend
ing from the windows along clay
street to the Plaza, and along flke
street sometimes as far as sacramento,
and even TO the chaparal beyond.
Here traders, miners, merchants,
gamblers and adventurers OF every
complexion waited in their places,
often in the afternoon Of one day, all
night long, to the morning OF the
next, in the mud and the soaking
rain, with weary limbs and anxious
hearts.
Men whose strength was unequal
to the strain were glad to employ
others to hold their places for them
through the long hours; and there
were those who, while not expecting
letters for themselves, secured good
standing in the line before the
coming Of the crowd, only to sell their
right OF place to richer men whose
time was money. From ten to twenty
dollars was common price for such
service.-Dr. j. w. Palmer In Cen
