From the LODdOn Hospital.
Why do joints work so easily and never
give us any pain? In fresh joint its ap-
pearance in life can be readily studied. In
the ball and socket joint the round end of
the bone, as well as the cup, are covered
or lined with a smooth substance called
Cartilage" or 'gristle," kept moist and
smooth with synovia. Cartilage contains
no nerves. and has no feeling; if it had, we
should have pain when we moved The
bones are kept in place at the joints by
very strong bands or ligaments; in hinge
joints a number of these bands are fastened
above and below, but in ball and socket
joints they also surround the joint, forming
a cap, in which the joint moves freely
In disease this smooth cartilage gets worn
away, and the ends of bone rub together
like those of a skeleton; the pain is great
because the bones have nerves, though the
cartilage has none. A bone without carti-
lage is like a decayed tooth with an exposed
nerve. In a healthy tooth the nerve is
well covered and gives no pain; and in a
healthy bone the nerves are there, but they
are only felt when the cartilage is worn
away.

A good story is told Of timid clergyman
just arrived from a trip abroad. Coming
home on the Berlin the weather was alarm
ingly tempestuous. The wind blew a hur-
ricane, the vessel naturally rolled, and the
parson took fright. He left his state room
and staggered along to the Office Of John
Kavanaugh, the purser, who is a bit of a
wag, and said:
I'm sure Mr.. Purser, you'll pardon me,
but 1 feel so dreadfuliy agitated. Kindly
inform me. are we in any positive danger?"
Kavanaugh replied: Come with me a mo-
ment," and he led the way to the forecastle
Now" continued he. bend your ear down
there and tell me what you hear
The sailors were. swearing in their happy
go-lucky, unconscious way.
"How shocking! What language!" groan-
ed the parson, trembling from head to foot.
Now, do you for a moment think that
those sailors would go on in that profane
fashion If there was real danger" asked
the conSoling Kavanaugh.
True true" replied the parson, some
what Gained by the assurance. "One nay
sometimes pluck the sweet flower of COM
fort from the vile cloaca of sin. The ways
of Providence are indeed inscruta able" and
back he crawled to his room in Il degree
treasured.
Two hours later the storm had increased
in violence, the wind ragged and howled
more wildly, and huge waves broke over
and seemed to submerge the great ship.
The parson was out of his room again,
more scared than before, and was seen
silently, nervously fumbling his way along
the wet deck to the forecastle He was
deadly pale and trembled with excitement.
He listened. The sailors were shouting
and tremendous oath amid the din reach
ed his ear.
THANK heaven" r-urmured he. "They
are still at it. They stu blaspheme. There
is no danger yet, the Lord be praised!'

From Forest and Stream.
Every once and a while discussion
arises over the use of the definite article
before the name of yacht, the omission of
the article being often derided by Ameri-
cans as an affectation peculiar to Anglo
maniacs. In the report of a race which We
republsh from the London Times, 1t will
be seen that the writer, we believe Mr.
Harry Horn, the leading English yachting
reporter, follows no definite plan, but
speaks, in one place of "Figilant." and in
arCther of 1.-THE Vigilant." and the same
lack of system is seen in other English
papers, the article being employed in one
line and omitted in the next. Looking at
any vessel, much more such a yacht as
Gloriana. Nigiant Britannia, as some
wood, something far more fully endowed
than most other of mans creations with
life and an individuality of her own, we
have always preferred to the simple
name of the yacht. without the article or
quotation marks, tribute 10 the higher
qualities of n yacht which we believe she
fully merits. There are some cases in
which it seems natural TO apply the article
before the name of a working vessel or
even a steam yacht, but certainly the true
sailing yacht is entitled to this much recoy-
milton of her superiority to dry dock or a

The Lamps Were by Accident Not

Judge Kimball fully recognizes the fact
that every technical violation of law does
not merit punishment, and Policeman YER
million is fully aware of this fact. The
officer made two arrests last night, the
victims being riders of the silent steed, who
failed to have lights on their wheels Reu-
ben Isdell was one of Them and he was out
after dark because of an accident, which
the police officer would not consider when
he mace the arrest The wheelman was out
riding. and while on the road his tire col
lapsed. This caused a loss of time, and the
delay kept him out until after dark. The
excuse, the judge thought was a reason
able one and sentence in the case was sus-
pended.
George d. Mitchell. editor, was the name
and profession given by the other victim
He had lamp on his wheel. but the light
had accidentally gone out, and he was sur
prfsed to find that such was the case when
the omcer arrested him. This excuse was
also accepted by the court as q good one

A Desperate Struggle by Insley and His
Prisoner.

A Desperate Struggle by Insley and His
Prisoner.
San Diego Union: Pedro Alvarez, a
butcher n TIA Juana on the Mexican
side, vas arrested yesterday and brought
to the county Jail by Detective Insle yof
Los Angeles, assisted by Sheriff Ben
Hill. Alvarez is charged whtho cattle
stealing. He is notorious as one of the
most daring OF the gang of cattle and
horse thieves and smugglers along the
border. Formerly he kept butcher
shop at Otay, and stole cattle in Lower
California and emuggled them into this
county, then stealing cattle here and
smuggling them into Mexico. This see
saw business went on for long time
before be was apprehended. Hell under
$500 bonds now to answer to q charge OF
smuggling cattle.
That he was caught at the business
did not serve as q warning for Alvarez,
and some days ago no came into this
state and went to Orange county, where,
with the assistance of Mexican friends.
he stole % head of fat steers from the
San Joaquin ranch, this side OF Santa
Ana. He drove the cattle to Escondido,
where be sold them to Peter Caasou.
the butcher. Detective Insley was
put on the track of the thief,
and he succeeded in finding 20 head at
Escondido, the others being butchered.
Alvarez was not to be found. and it
looked as if he had skipped back into
Mexico. The loss falls upon Cassou,
who had paid Alvarez 5000 in cash and
due-3ill.
Insley determined to go to the line
and keep a lookout, in the hope OF catch
ing Alvarez in the event that he should
be- returning from his late foray. Sheriff
Hill went along. to zee the fun. The
two officers established headquarters ct
the Frontera house on this side, and
we've there yesterday morning. Insley
happened to be outside, and saw man
pass in cart who looked great deal
| like Alvarez. The detective was not
sure, however, until the man had passe d
him, and had driven into tine river bed.
within few yards of the line. Then
Insley, quick as thought, called to him

stopped and awaited his approach.

quietly, "You are under arrest" AL.

ances. The total area of the entire
group is about equal to that of Florida
or Michigan, and the population was
estimated in 1891 at 32,000000. The
Dutch and other Europeans number
about IS, 600. The army is enumerated
at So, 900; but half of its strength con-
sists OF native troops. Whether the
latter could be depended upon In case of
a general revolt is problematical. Sixty
years ago the Netherlands esta blished
what they called couture sys-
rem," which requires the natives
to contribute so many days work
in each year to raising the staples
produced in the leland. The people
were in fact reduced to slavery or poem
age. The island was divided into
twenty-five provinces, over each OF
which a Resident was set with absolute
power, subject to the supervision of the
governor.general in council. Tho Resi-
dent carried on business through native
officials, called controllers. and as it
seems that he has the power Of life and
death in his hands his orders are rarely
disputed. In 1870 this system was the
subject Of attack in the mother country,
and it was modified so that the natives
were exempted from contributing forced
lobor on the sugar plantations. But
they were etill required to grow cer-
tain quantity of coffee each year, and
that practice ie in force to this day. 1t
goes without saying that such system
can only endure so long as the Javauese
are indifferent to political independence

grip and threatened to blow q hole

told him to stand quiet. This continued
for about five minutes, the officer not

can and Insley lowered the gun and
grabbed too. For three minutes there
was fight livelier than any bear and
lion contest, until Sheriff Hill got o

forced his tongue out OF his throat.
Insley slipped the handouts on and
from that time Alvarez was as meek and
docile az any lamb. He said he was
perfectly willing to 60 to Jail, and he
was taken there. Detective Insley will
