tribe of Loushays, the collector deter
mined to continue his search for only
three days longer. He was then at the
mouth of one of the tributaries of the
Brahmaputra. He assembled this stream
until sunset of the third day, when he
halted, sick at heart from his failure. AS
the sun was setting its rosy light fell
upon the side of one of the hills some
two miles up the stream, and brought
out in bold relief mass of rock. AS this
looked favorable to orchid growth, the
collector decided to make final search
there on the morrow.
At daybreak he started with a few ma
tives, who consented to follow him, and
led this ''forlorn" hope up the river.
Reaching the spot he began to Chamber
up the hillside, and pausing in his ascent
to look upward he saw nodding at him
from crevice in the rocks a flower of
Cypripedium Spicerianum. He gathered
oUO of these plants and hurried back to
Calcutta. On arriving there he discov-
cred that collector for rival house had
learned of his route from some of the de-
serters of the expedition, and had started
from Calcutta several days before his re-
turn. He was, therefore, obliged to turn
right about and retrace his steps. Know
ing the route he outdistanced the other
collector and gathered 1900 specimens of
Cypripedium Spicerianum in addition to
those he had collected on his exploring
expedition. The large consignment of
these orchids to England soon brought
the price down from $3.50 (Sl,250) to a
couple of shillings. The price has, how
ever, again risen, as the orchids have never
been found in any other spot, and have
become scarce in that one.-James k.
Pitcher in New York Tribune.

Peter. the "HIfnt Bird. :.

If you have a silver dollar of 1886, 1898
or 1899, or one of the first nickel cents
coined in 1856, you will find upon it the
true portrait OF an American eagle that
was for many years Il familiar sight in
the streets of Philadelphia. Peter"
one of the finest eagles ever captured
alive, was the pet of the Philadel-
phia Mint, and was generally known as
the mint bird" \ OF only did he have
free access to every part of the mint, go
ing without hinderance into the treasure
vaults, where even the Treasurer of
the United States would not 90
alone, but he used his own pleas
ure in going about the city, flying
over the houses, sometimes perchlng
upon lamp-posts in the streets. Every
body knew him and admired him, and
even the street boys treated him with re-
spect. The Government provided his
daily fare, and he was as much a
part of the mint establishment as
the Superintendent or the Chief Coiner.
He was so kindly treated that he had no
fear of anybody or anything, and he
might be in the mint yet If he had not
sat down to rest upon one OF the great
fiy-wheels. The wheel started with
out warning, and Peter was caught
in the machinery. One of his wings
was broken, and he died few
days later. The Superintendent had his
body beautifully mounted, with the wings
spread TO their fullest extent; and to this
day Peter stands in glass case in the
mlnts cabinet, where you may see him
whenever you go there. An exact por-
trait OF him as he stands in the case was
put upon the coins named.

Manufactures for Prosneritr.

lSlOckLon independent
II. P. Livermore, in an interview. as
sured the people of Sacramento that one
factory was worth more to that city than
the State Capital. In this he was eminently
right. Stockton contains a dozen fact
cries, any one of which is worth more to
the city than the State Capital would be-
The Legislature meets once in two years
and brings two or three hundred people
there for an average of seventy days
These people spend their money at hotels,
saloons, ETC., and go away. One of Stock
toms second-rate industries EMPLOYS
sixty men and pays them S45, 900 year
They save goodly portion of this and
build homes, improve the city, and their
earnings, savings and improvements are
going on all the time and increasing.
Another industry of secondary import
ance employs sixty-seven men and pays
them $4,000 year; another pays SI33,-
600 year 10 1873 men. Here are $50 men
receiving S2lS,00O a year, every year,
without taking into account the
principal industries, which employ about
$50 men, to whom they pay about three
quarters of million every year, which
all goes to add to the city's prosperity.
Any third of Stockton's manufacturing
industries is worth twice as much to the
city as the State Capital would be, and it
is doubtful if the city could afford to trade
of the least of it's second-rate industries
for the Capital. These industries are
growing constantly and last year in
creased their output nearly million
dollars. They keep an army of over 200
men earning over million dollars year
and they contributed the principal part
of the 70 per cent. increase to Stock TOMS
wealth in five years, while the Legisla-
ture would demoralize the city for sixty
or seventy days and then disappear for
two years, leaving only the State Print
ing Office and the skeleton of the State
Government during the interval. Stock
ton can well afford to let others strive. for
the State Capital while it encourages its
home manufactures

THE CAT.
Something of the Very Happy Fate of
the Persian Cat.

liz SISlhh Sdbs
The Persian cat is born to the happiest
fate of any of his family, for, according
to the tales of travellers, he is, in his
native land, not only loved and cherished,
not only well treated and admired, but
thoroughly respected, and he has an &C
knowledged position and rights. In
form the bewitching Persian does not
greatly diiler from the Angora, but the
tail is much more effective, Tor tie long
est and thickest-set hairs being at the tip,
they form magnificent plume, which tho
dignitied owner carries proudly erect,
waving in the air as he moves. In his
splendid silky coat is not a trace of wool
illness, and it clothes the graceful creature
from the tips of his ears to the we'll
''feathered' toes.
Unless some undreamed-of feline mar
vel shall yet be unearthed, this animal
must forever be regarded as the perfect
flower OF the domestic cat family. \ OF
only does he easily surpass all his COM
petitors i'll beauty and grace, but he pos
seSses charms of disposition and man
ner. and dignity of bearing; and while
most atfectionate and loving, is still self
respecting and independent.
The Persian may be seen in many col
ors. Very beautiful is that shade tech
nically called blue" but perhaps more
familiar TO us as Maltese. y superb
specimen of this color u few years ago
lived royalty In a house where 1 visited.
She was named after queen of old, and
no royal parsonage ever bore herself
more magniticently, l am sure. One of
very ricn colors, also seen in New York,
was deep orange running to smoke color.
Nothing could be more exquisite to look
at, though this notified effect is not con-
sidered the thing" and detracts greatly
from the value of the wearer. The
black Persian, with orange-colored
eyes, is one of the rarest and most
highly priced of the race, and
the pure white is perhaps not sec
ond in estimation. There are also sew
eral varieties of tabbies, and in nearly
every one the deep yellow eye is the most
desired. The eyes should be large and
full; the hair should line the ears and
fringe the legs, and even the toes, of this
beautiful beast.
The love of liberty is the ruling pas
Every one of the long-haired, indeed, de-
lights in long solitary tramps. 1t seems
impossible to cure them of the desire;
and what cat really desires he generally
succeeds in getting, sooner or later. To
own one of these most attractive and
most costly pets in the city, where
thieves abound, is TO live a life of
constant anxiety and watchfulness. Only
those who have kept guard over SLY
and cunning human lunatic, ever plot
ting TO escape, can appreciate the vigil
lance necessary for his safety. Yet, in
spite of this, so ornamental and so
beautiful is the gentle creature that few
who are able to do so can deny them
selves the pleasure of owning one.-

COLD WATER AS AN ANRsTHET1o
Secures Absolute Immunity From Pain
in Protracted Operations.


in Protracted Operations.
A few months ago a good deal was
written about the accidental discovery by
a European physician of the value of cold
water as an an9sthetic. Since then, it
appears, number of experiments have
been made with satisfactory results, and
now the whole matter is to be investi-
gated with the severest scientific tests at
Vienna. A correspondent in that city
writes as follows to a London newspaper:
DIR. X. l.. Schleich has now discovered
that absolute local immunity from pain,
even during protracted operations, can be
obtained without resorting to general
narcosis of the patient, so that sufferer
may remain perfectly conscious during
the amputation of the hand or foot without
undergoing the torture so often inflicted
on the battle field or exposing himself to
the danger of synCope ever present in the
operating 1t appears that subcu-
taneous injections of solution of sugar
or salt-nay, even OF simple cold, distilled
water-will produce exactly the same
local an@sthetic effects as cocaine.
This discovery has already borne the
test of numerous experiments, and will
now be tried in Vienna. The explana-
ton of the phenomenon is simple. Local
insensibility to pain is caused in the case
of cocaine to purely chemical changes,
while cold water acts mechanically by
means of high pressure and low tempera-
ture. Under the influences ofhigh press
ure and sudden lowering of temperature
the blood and lymph are driven from the
region operated TO places where the press
ure is less. The tissue is thus deprived of
it supply of blood, and temporary pa
ralysis of the nerves result. One of the
first medical authorities af1irms that the
Importance of this discovery is still
the more undoubted seeing that if, in
given case, cold water alone should fail
to produce the needtul degree OF inseusi-
bility, weak and absolutely harmless
solution of cocaine would prove GER
tainly efficacious.

BRUTALITY PERsoNIFIED.
Outrage Committed on "a Drunken Man
This Morning.

outfaSe committed on a Drunken Man
This Morning.
A most brutal outrage was committed
at the Lafayette dive, on K street, about
O'Clock this morning, and was witnessed
by several persons across the street.
a young man named Murphy. who
was helplessly drunk, was thrown out of
the saloon and fell upon the sidewalk.
Before he had time to get up some big
loafer came out of the place, SQUARED
himself IN front of the helpless man and
then kicked him in the face With all the
brute force of which he was capable, He
then walked back into the saloon.
The injured man staggered across the
street and sat upon the curbstone with
the blood streaming from his left eve. To
persons who examined him in the dark II
looked as if he had been kicked in the
eye, and if SO that organ may have been
destroyed.
Those who witnessed the cowardly act
from across the street were unable to
identify the brute that did it, but there
should be no difficulty in arresting him,
as there were several men in the saloon
who knew him.
The police were notified of the affair,
but there was no officer at the station ex-
cept the Jailer.

AMONG THE WHBET,MEN
Several of the Capital CITY Club uo,
a RI1r, "a,

several OF the Capital City Club Have
Run to RockIin.
Word was received on Saturday from
Inc oak Leaf Wheelmen of Stockton
mat they would be unable to meet
the Capital City Wheelmen to ar
range the stations for the COM
ing relay race on Sunday. Captain w. A.
Hubert then called run to Newcastle.
RACER County. II. A. Crocker, G. Ham
lin, y. j. Brown, II. r. Martin. s. Fl.
woods, Il. Elliott and c. B. Vanderbilt
responded to the call.
Water being over The Twelfth-street
road, the trestle over the American River
was taken and, after much difficulty in
crossing, the OLD Auburn road was finally
reached ana The trip continued awheel.
Ailef losing the road two or three times
hocklln was finally reached, this being
as iar as the wheelmen went After clear
ing the hotel of all its eatables the start
was made for home
AT Rosevllle Hamlin, Brown, Crock er
ana Martin took the train. but the other
1our made the complete trip by wheel
that is all but portion of it. where they
packed their cycles over the water on the
Iweitth-street road, having come to the
conclusion that this was easier than walk
ing the railroad trestle.
The roads were otherwise reported in
good condition, and wherever possible
Hubert would set hot pace to work his
men for the coming relay race.
Scott Ennis, President of the club, has
secured training quarters at the track,
ana hereafter all the racing men will
nave everything at their convenience to
assist them in the coming events.
Vanderbilt and Heilborn are spoken of
as coming men, as is also kid" Ham
lin. Hubert is doing some hard road
riding, and will make a good showing in
the relay race with Stockton.
Runor has it that Wood had to be
lowed into town, by means of a halter,
after the run to Rocklin.
Great interest is being taken in the re-
lay race from Sacramento to Storlxton
and return on May 9TH. The relay sta
qons will probably be fixed next Sun
