Dogs md In omnia.

On the occasion of the dog show in
Paris French statistician has pu bIished
an estimate of the number of dogs al
present TO be found in that city. Evi-
IDENTIFY it is with no good feelings toward
the poor animals, for after informing the
world that there are no fewer than 81. .000
of them in the French capital alone the
calculator proceeds to speculate upon the
number of persons who are kept awake
by their barkings. On an average. h G
thinks, one dog in ten would be restle SIS
and inclined to bark during the mig ht,
and in each case the barking would cause
at least one person to lose his nights
rest. On this basis he arrives at the
dreadful conclusion that there are in
Paris at all times 5000 persons who can
not sleep from this cause alone. And
yet, he complains, the arking of dogs
is not even mentioned in medical works
as one of the causes of ms nsomnia.-Lon-

Wonderful Experience of Man and a
Crow With Giant Powder.

Crow With Giant Powder.
Dick Willoughby relates an amusing
incident that happened to him at Funter
Bay says the Juneau (Alaska) NeaeS.
Dick was driving a tunnel on ledge
back of his cabin and was in the habit of
leaving stick OF giant powder on q rock
in sunny place at the mouth of the tun-
mel TO thaw out. On several occasions
when he went to get his powder it had
mysteriously disappeared, and ne was at
loss to account for 1t. AS it was con-
siderable of an annoyance to go to the
cabin and get more powder and wait for
il TO thaw, Dick concluded to watch pro-
ceedings and walt for the thief. He laid
the stick Of powder in its usual place.
and had waited but short time when he
saw a raven sail out OF tree and swoop
down upon the explosive. The bird tore
at the tough paper cover until it could
get at the powder; then began to greedily
devour it.
Giant powders is made up of fnitro-glvcer-
lne SaWdust and grease. and whole stick
of it makes very hearty breakfast
for raven. The stick had nearly disap-
peared when Dick thought it time to
avenge his loss, and was in the act of
raising his rifle, when the raven gave 3
defiant cav and arose in the air with the
remainder OF the stick Of powder grasped
in its claws. When up some distance the
powder slipped from the birds grasp and
came tum bling to the ground. Dick saw
the powder drop and dodged behind a
bowlder, fearing it would explode when
it struck the rocks; however, it did not.
The raven perched in a tree, and Dick
drew a bead and let drive.
Immediately following the report of
the gun Dick was not a little startled at
receiving quite q shock. and hearing q
second and louder report while the air
was filled with small bits of raven meat
and feathers. After the smoke of battle
had cleared away, all that Dick could find
of that raven was the bill and claws and
a bunch of black feathers. The shock OF
the bullet passing through the birds
body had exploded the powder it had de-
voured.

General agent and correspondent Of the San
Francisco POST Ior the State OF California,
who resides at 200 Cough street san Fran
cisco.
To a reporter of the RECoRD7UNIoN Mr..
Lehndorff said: II have been a resident of
California for five years, all the time ia san
Francisco. About twenty yerrs ago I CON
tracted a severe cold, which resulted in rheu-
matsm and finally in heart trouble. Both
the rheumatism and heart trouble gave me
great distress and suffering. The heart trouble
continued to grow worse until was unable
to do any work that caused even the slightest
fatigue l could not even ascend flight of
stairs without almost Ioosing my breath; and
my heart would f1uttcr at times and it seemed
as though it would stop beating. had pains
in my back and limbs with kidney trouble,
besides my stomach gave me severe suffering.
My bowels We're obstinately cOnstlpated. catIs-
ing me to take great quantities Of medicine,
and the more | took the more 1 was Obliged to
take. My condition was altogether very an
moving and distressing, even though not cOu-
sidered dangerous.
During the last five years l have been
treated at some Of the most noted medical
institutes Of San Francisco ana also By some
of the most prominent OF the specialists Of
that city, but all to no purpose.
Il had seen many favorable notices of The
Neagle Medical Institute in the press OF the
eountry, and decided to call upon one of their
patients that had been reported as cured by
the doctors of tbat institution. I found this
patient most enthusiastic in their praise.
also found out that not half of the truth had
been told in the notice of his cure, for he told
me his story in detail and called his "a mag
ical cure
after hearing this mans story 1 went at
once to Sacramento and TO the Neagle Medi-
cal Institute. 1 was carefully examined and
put upon treatment, and l must say that
nave improved beyond my most sangune
expectations, for I had began to despair Of
ever obtaining relief from any source what
ever. now feel confident of a complete and
permanent cure, as 1 see so many patients
here being treated, and all speaking so highly
OF the success in their treatment"

THE FUN THAI ADAM MISSED

That Adam was lonely man
I'n ready to believe
Although his many days were blest
With natures falreSt Eve;
BY maiden aunts and cousins fair
The man was never kissed,
And thus I often think about
The fun that Adam missed.
1t seems to me his life was like
An ott-repeatcd dream.
He never treated girls and paid
Three dollars for ice cream;
he never, when little boy,
by grOwn-up girls was kissed:
And when he died he never knew
The Jun that he had missed.
He never went security
And had the note TO pay;
He never saw his bank cashier
Steal gracefully away;
In all his lite he never by
a mother-in-l2W was kissed;
But why go on ana 'numerate
The fun that Adam missed?
Perhaps, if he were living now
But then, why Speculateo
He'd be too old and not inclined
To play with tickle fate.
For centuries the wanton winds
His unknown grave have kissed;
Perhaps he sleeps the better for
The fun that he has missed.

After the Cape May Cup.

London, August 27.-In an interview
today, Mr.. Howard Gould said that enc
Communication had been received from
the Prince of Wales regarding the lat
Jer's desire to withdraw his cutter from
the race for the Cape May cup. "The
conditions under which the cup is held,
Mr.. Gould said, ARE that the holder must
either defend or surrender it. The Prince
cannot assign it's defence to the Satanita
or any other vessel, and l do not see
how we can Withdraw our challenge.
The Vigilant will probably be ready to
take part in the Royal Dart regatta at
Dartmouth on August 81. and in the
Royal West of England regatta at
Plymouth. Septem Der 4th and 9Th. II
the Prince of Wales desires an immedi-
ate race for the Cape May cup, however,
the Vigilant will abandon these engage
menst. We want to take the cup home
with US, and would rather race for it
than have it surrendered.n
Mr.. Gould is reported as saying he
wouldn't take part in the West Coast
races, as the Britannia Will be absent
and it wouldn't be worth his while to
sail against other yachts. After the
Cape May cup race the Vigilant will
probably be laid up for the winter.

what then shall we say to our con-
stltuents if we make this surrender?
1t is already to be seen what good
many gentlemen propose that we shall
say. We are to plead the baby act. We
are to say that the Democratic party,
with the three branches of the national
government in its CONTROL was really
anxious to carry out it's pledges, and
would certainly have done to, but, that
1T was prevented by four or five undemo-
cratic Democratic Senators! A nice
story this! But will anyone believe it?
A nice story this! But it will. not be
true.
1t is of course possible that with the
close division of parties in the Senate a
few Democratic Senators. by going over
to the Republicans, might have convert
ed our small majority in that body into
minority, and rendered it impossible
to carry out Democratic policy. But
where will you put your finger on the
record of a vote that will show that this
has been done? The record will show
that the party majority has never been
broken; that surrender after surrender,
closing with this last final surrender,
has been made by the Democratic body
acting in the Democratic name and I'M
der Democratic forms, and that the few
men whom it is proposed to make the
scapegoats of the most ignominious sur
render of party of which political his
tory knows are, SO far as any record will
show. as good Democrats as the men
who will denounce them. If the Demo
cratic party goes before the people to
plead the baby act it must tell them a
story like Falstaff's story of the men in
buckram. 1t must tell them that the
Democrats of the House with their over
whelming majority, the Democrats of
the Senate with their clear majority, the
Democratic President. with ali the enor-
nous power of the administration in his
hands, were surrounded by four or five
wicked Democrats in masks, who never
once let their faces be seen, and that,
thus surrounded, they were compelled to
surrender-no, deemed It prudent to sur
render without firing shot

Irrigating by Windmill.

The plan of irrigating by means of a
windmill and wooden tank reads well
on paper, but will not work out right,
says Rural New Yorker Such tank
will not hold enough. The time is sure
to come when the water pumped in a
week is demanded for days wetting
There must be storage room enough to
keep at least 10 days work ahead of the
windmill. This may be done by scoop
ing out large reservoir at the top Of a
hill, as described in former issues, but
we believe that a powerful steam or
horse power pump to force the water di-
rectly from pond or stream or deep
well will prove the most practical plan

ture is something that must come with

Decrease the Cost of Production.

Rural New Yorker has always held
that the only outlet for the eastern
farmer is to decrease the cost of produc-
ing a pound OR bushel of his product.
The time has gone for expecting high
prices. The chief items of expense are
plant food and labor. Fertilizers and a
judicious use ef green manuring crops
are solving the plant food problem, and
improved machinery must master the
latter. Without clear understanding
of these two features Of agriculture the
eastern farmer will be driven to the
wall. Let him master them, and he can
defy the world.

they prefer the legislative candidate
VITO had only about 80 signatures by

either of the caucuses reached but Al
votes, and that at only one ballot. So
it is plain to see that according to the
machine" method, if caucus fail to
give majority the candidate having the
least support shall have preference over
the one having the highest vote, especi-
ally when the one having most support
ers in his town has an opinion of his
own which conflicts with the re-su bms-
