High Pressure Life.

Among the signs that the high pres
sure at which American professional
and business men are living is telling
upon them, the great increase in the
number of sofas and touches to be used
in offices is very interesting to the stu
dent of nerves and nervous diseases.
A generation ago a violent headache or
a feeling of great depression was con-
sidered a Legitimate excuse for closing
up the Office and taking half a day off,
if not rest for a day or two. Now
there is no time for rests of this char.
acter. and the man who is breaking
down from overworl1 gets couch in

few days ago l had occasion to call

my surprise, found lying on a couch
in his office. l was apologizing and
promising to call again, when he told

Muskrat Against Woodchucx.

A Pennsylvania farmer was taking
q walk along the banks OF creek when
he scared up a woodchuclS, which gave
a whistle and started at a lively canter
for its burrow, few rods up the bank.
At the same time, big muskrat, which
had been nosing around in the grass
and weeds made dash for the water
and the two animals came in collision.
This seemed to arouse their animosity
instantly and make them forget their
fear; SO they began to bite. scratch and
squeal, as if bound to kill each other.
The muskrat kept working the wood
chuck toward the creek, but it finally
broke away, and was retreating when
the muskrat collared it again. The
fight was then renewed with increased
fury, but the mushrat was the victor.
In less than two minutes it had the
woodchuclz in the pool. and there held
1t under water until it was drowned.
Then it flung the carcass on a stone
and swan out of sight under the roots
OF a birch.-Golden Days

An Ingenious Invention.

The deep sea thermometer, as in.
vented abroad and improved by Off
GERS of the United States navy, is a
marvellously ingenious and effective
continuance. 1t is in effect a self-reg-
istering instrument, though not tech
nically SO called. The thermometer is
SO arranged that it is automatically
turned upside down when the machin-
cry begins to draw it up from the depth
at which the temperature is to be as
certained. The effect of the inverting
process is to break the column of mer-
curry, and a small portion of the col
umn remains in the upper end of the
tube, exactly enough to measure the
temperature at the moment of inver-
sion. The tube is graduated so as to
read from either end, and the quantity
of mercury in the upper part of the
tube is SO small that it does not respond
to any but great and sudden changes
of temperature. 1t thus happens that
the reading, when the thermometer
reaches the surface, is practically cor
rect for the temperature at the point
of inversion.-N. Y. Sun.

A SinrnIar Combat.

Lower California Is q country but lit
tie known, and wild animals are plen-
tiiul enough to satisfy the most ardent
sportsman. An American surveyor
was recently the witness of singular
combat while on prospecting trip
no less than a struggle between a
mountain sheep and a puma. The
sheep was of formidable size, and he
used his monstrous horns with aston
ishing rapidity. backing of, stamping
his feet. and propelling himself at the
foo like sure enough battering-ram.
The great yellow pima, agile and
watchful, leaped aside or into the air to
escape these onslaughts, and then,
with quick spring. he would aim to
clutch the ram behind the horns. But
not once was the ram caught unawares.
The heavy horns were swung quickly
on the pivot of his sinewy neck, and
received the clawing of the cat harm
lessly. There was every indication of
a drawn battle, when the spectator
took hand. The first shot from his
rifle sent the puma bounding into the
brush with yell. but the ram was
not SO fortunate, and, as a consequence,
the surveyor is now the owner of
set OF splendid horns Golden Days.

It's objects, which were TO develop moral
and social improvement among it's MEM
bers as we'll as to besto fraternal pc
cuniarv benefits. Immediately appealed in
a widespread manner to Catholic young
men and the organization from the first
had a rapid growth. San Jose was the
first city to fall in line with San Francisco
in having an institute, Stockton followed, /,
and as new lodges were continually being
formed in this city it was felt necessary
for the furthering of the interests of the
society to elect delegates to grand coun-
Gil, which was held in San Francisco at
the Knights of the Red Branch Hall on
