The Growth of Electric Railroads.

'"'The growth of the use of electricity
as a motive power is remarkable, " said
F. L. Carson, an electrician of Boston.
1.-TWO years ago there were only 161
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 500. Six years
ago an electric car with two motors cost
81, 500, while the bids for the last con-
tract I knew to be given ran from 500
to 81, 500, and the former was the price
at which it was given, the manufacture
ers being reliable men. Itseems singular
that with such constantly increasing
demand there should be such competi-
ton as to run prices down to one-seventh
of what was paid six years ago, but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few lines of street railroad
in the country not run by electricity. >

NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
The Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.

The Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.
There is born with every one Of US
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable mark
or marks, which absolutely distinguish
each one of US from every other fellow
being. These physical marks never
change from the cradle to the grave.
This born autograph is impossible to
counterfeit, and there is no duplicate Of
it among the teeming pillows in the
world. Look at the insides of your
hands and the soles Of your feet; closely
examine the ends of your fingers. You
see circles and curves and arches and
whorls, some prominent with deep cor
rugations, others minute and delicate,
but all a we'll defined and closely traced
pattern There is your physiological
signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger nails on a piece Of clear
glass. You see all the delicate tracing
transferred-not two fingers alike; even
'tthe left hand knoweth not what the
right hand doeth. - They are distinctly
different. Even twins may be SO little
different in size features and general
physical condition as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, yet their finger autographs
are radically different.
In fact, in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers and
his wrinkled hand Of decrepit old age
the identical curves, arches and circles
that were born with him. Nothing ex
cept dismemberment can obliterate OF
disguise them Criminals may burn and
scar their hands, but nature, when she
restores the cuticle, invariably brings
back the natal autograph. -Louisyill

WITH HIS WHIP.
He clicked the Gun From the Stage Rob
ber's Hand.

''There is quite a difference between

owner of the stage line running from
Cazadero to Ukiah.
"When | came here from Boston IL
1854, 1 drifted about bit and finally

STOUT AND THIN PEOPLE.
Nature Regulates Fatness and slimness
With an Iron Rule.

Fatness and slimness come by nature
and are therefore often impossible Of
remedy, for it is Of no use, and 1t is ut
ter folly besides, to fight against ones
constitution You can affect that con-
stitution to a certain extent, but beyond
that extent which won't please either
the too fat or the too slim folks, you can
only do harm, defeat the very object you
try for. and, worst of all, throw yourself
into i'll health. 1t stands to reason that
if a man or woman comes Of big boned,
stoutly built stock be or she may reason
ably be expected to inherit the tendency
to corpulence. Conversely suppose man
is born of family stock which is notable
for its thinness and slimness, it may be,
and generally is, worse than folly for
him to expect, by any process OF feeding
or otherwise, to become stout and well
favored person.
So let US realize this big fact at once
that we have to face the question OF
our constitution first of all, and as SEN
sible people to see and discover whether
our fairness or our thinness is part and
parcel of our natural build. Rest assured
if we are fat by nature it is useless to
attempt by diet or otherwise to reduce
our bodies to slim proportions. Many
man and woman has paid the penalty OF
such rashness by inducing disease
through their outrageous efforts to
thwart nature. Let US be sensible, then,
about this "fatness" question and see
clearly where as rational beings, we
stand. 1t is possible to keep even a fat
body within it's own limits by reason
able care and diet, just as it may be pos
sible to fatten up'a thin person within
limits again by regulated course OF
food. Whatever you may do in the way
of thinning or fattening, you can never
safely or, what is more to the purpose,
permanently attain your aim by the use
of drugs If there is any cure for fat
ness at all, be sure it is to be found IN
the food and in the food alone. Health.

of the Better Glass of People.
In spite of the croaks of the croaker,
and the walls of the ne'er-do-w wells, there
is strong current setting toward an era
of prosperity the like of which Dawson
in all her prosperous career has never
experienced.
One of he most striking and unmiS-
taxable evidences of this fact is that
houses are.in greater demand, and that
the demand is for a better class, than
has been in the city for many months.
People who were doubling up several
families in one house a short while ago
are now spreading out, each family seek
ing a separate home; collections are
better: houses for rent are generally
scarcer, and there are few business
houses to be obtained.
All this is very gratifying and illus
trates the rapidity with which Dawson
cmerges from the shadows of any tenn
porary depression into the hopeful light
of prosperity, showing the activity and
enterprise of the people who hold in
trust its glorious destiny.
