WOMEN AND MICE
Mutual Terror, Which Can be Felt,
But Net Explained.
From die Tammany Times.

-N"-N-T
In this age of the world-in this
peculiarly exciting epoch Of the nine
teenth century, it is impossible for
the most robust and astute man TO
stand still in one position for the
space of five minutes and exactly
comprehend the nature of woman S
fear Of a mouse. Perhaps a mouse
looks larger to woman than to a
man. But we don't know. AT any
rate, no matter how large the woman
is, she is just as skittish in the pres
ence of mouse as little woman,
and the smaller the mouse the great
er the terror it inspires.
A woman who has got sufficient
muscle to grab her husband by the
scruf of the neck, dust off the parlor
furniture with his coat tails, throw
him over the gas jet, catch him on
the first bounce, pass him to the
third base and get back again to the
home plate in less than no time will
get up and shiver like vibrator
threshing machine at the sight of a
mouse an inch and quarter long.
Even the Amazonian mother in law,
who can knock out the delieately or
ganized husband of her own and on.
~ daughter in less than four rounds,
who, like a cyclone, sweeps through
the wrecked remains of flourishino
family and scatters terror aud blue
ruin wherever she treads, she of the
iron jaw and sinews of steel, even she

heart for mice, and will ki.yi with

keep the skeleton together, and the

California as a Sanitarium

In an article written for the Califor-
MAN, Lieutenant John p. Finley, Of
the United States Weather Bureau;
makes the, following statement,
Theoretically California should fur
nish the best and the most varied
health resorts and sanitarium in the
United States. Within her borders
almost every form of wasting disease
should find the means Of temporary,
if not permanent relief.
This theoretical statement, from all
unbiased, scientific standpoints, is
fully and abundantly confirmed by
actual experience. The cool and brac-
ing coast climate, devoid of any trace
of malaria, extends from the northern
part Of the State TO the extreme south.
There is the choice between this coor,
humid atmosphere and the dry, warm
atmosphere of the inland valleys.
In the matter of altitude there is a
yet greater difference. From Palm
Valley, 300 feet below sea level, to the
upper Serras, 1000 or 5000 above,
any altitude can be selected, and
comfortable homes be founded.
The peculiarity of an almost rain
less summer, during which the injur-
ious germs of animal and vegetable
decay are destroyed by thorough desi-
cation, is one Of the striking features
of California climate.
During the rainy season it is usual
ly too cool to facilitate fermentation,
and the result is, except along some
of the river valleys, an absolutely pure
atmosphere. The ocean winds enter
ing through the several coast openings
are tempered by the intermediate area
passed over and often receive desira-
BILE healing properties by taking up
the resinous odors Of the pines and
redwoods on the Coast Range.
The skillful physician, acquainted
with the climatic conditions, should
find little difficulty in selecting a To-
cality where climate environment viii
do all that these agencies can ever do
toward the restoration of health.
There is enough of wildness to keep
the mind constantly engaged, and
enough of civilization TO satisfy the
most eXacting.
Sufferes from pulm onary diseases
people whose systems are charged
with malaria, or are ''run down" by
over work, find immediate and in
many cases permanent relief in this
invigorating climate, establishing
anew the fact recognized by all intel
ligent persons, whether physicians or
laymen, that 'Nature is the best
healer"

In the letter to which Mr.. Mcclure
refers, we stated to him that his dis
ease was of such a nature that we
could not assure him of cure, even
with the Electropoise; but there was
a chance, and certainly nothing else
would do him good if the Electropoise
failed. This second letter, received a
few days ago, shows that we were mis-
taken, and that his case, though pro-
nounced hopeless, was not so when
the greatest of all remedies was ap-
piled.

A Popular Remedy.

In many localities there is perhaps no
more popular farmers remedy for dis
eases of horses than sassafras. It is ad-
ministered by grinding the root bark to
powder and giving it in the feed, or
by preparing decoction with which
the feed is mixed. Frequently the roots
are placed in the horses feed trough,
and he is permitted to bark them him
self, which he willingly does, apparent
ly with much relish. In the spring it
greatly improves his appetite, strength
ems him and assists in shedding and
sleeking his coat.

The Use of Woods.
New York Sun.

Furniture manufacturers are now
using mahogany more than ever, es-
pecially in chairs and it is used also
in house trim. Perhaps the most
popular wood Of the moment for in
terror uses, house trim and furniture
is American birch, the use of which IS
increasing largely. 1t comes from
New York, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. II costs about one third
the price Of mahogany Good ma
hogany sells at Is 10 30 cents =
square f'.ot. American birch has
beeu growing in favor fog five years,
to some extent on account of tue in
creasing scarcity aud higher prices
Of cherry another popular wood,
which many would prefer but for its
cost. Cherry pow sells at about two
thirds the price of mahogany. Oak
is used for house trim, both quar-
tered and plain, ami other popular
woods ere cypress, sycamore, maple,
ash, elm and hazel wood Black
walnut, so generally used 20 years
ago, is still used somewhat.
