1000 Miles With q Wheelbarrow.

In 1878 Lyman Potter Of New York
state performed the prodigious task Of
pushing common paddy" wheelbar-
row across the continent. He started
from his home on Dane street, Albany,
on the morning Of April 10, 1878, and
arrived in San Francisco on the after
noon Of Oct. 5 Of the same year, being
almost exactly 178 days Give hours and
three minutes over) in performing the
wearisome feat. Potter was a shoe
maker, and the trip was the result Of a
wager made by some friends who be-
lieved that such trip would occupy at
least 200 days. The wager was 81, 900,
but Potter made between three and five
times that sum advertising for different
parties along the route. The wheelbar-
row was made specially for the use to
which it was put and weighed but 70
pounds. The distance travelled by Pot
ter was exactly 4,Os5A miles.-St

CONSUM PTiON.
Care of the Patient, That His SufYerings
May BE Lessened.

The successful treatment of consump-
tion-and by this is meant making the
sufferer better able to bear his burden, if
not actually lifting it from his shout
ders-is largely question Of nursing.
If the disease has already gained foot
hold medicine in most instances is Of no
avail except in postponing the evil day,
and even if it were otherwise few
general rules would be just as essential
to insure the comfort Of the patient
while recovery is going on.
In the first place, then, we must un-
derstand exactly the condition Of the
consumptive, not SO much by ascertain
ing the location and extent Of his disease
rs by familiarizing ourselves with his
temperament, his likes and dislikes, and,
above all, with his power Of endurance
and resistance.
If we will bear these things in mind
we may be able to do all that is possible
for the sick one-namely, to enable him
to Withstand the onslaught Of the dis
ease until nature shall gain the control
ling hand. So successful is this method
Of treatment that it often results in a
complete or at least temporary cure.
Consumption is one Of the most de-
vitalizing of diseases. Not only does it
attack the lungs, but the action Of the
nervous system is sooner or later seri-
ously interfered with, the digestion i'm
paired, and the simplest form of excite
ment renders even the circulation Of the
blood dangerous from being overactive.
We shall come nearest to striking at
tho root Of all these troubles if we direct
our energies toward limiting the fire.
quency and severity Of the cough, and in
this we have not only to follow the adj
vice Of the physician, taking care that
his directions are exactly carried out,
but we must give careful attention to
nursing.
Toprevent the first paroxysm Of cough
ing, which is usually melted in the
morning by the exertion Of rising, a
warm cup Of tea or an eggnog should be
taken before the patient leaves the bed.
A glass Of something warm, like hot
milk or cruel, should also be taken be-
fore retiring, and plenty of time should
be allowed in preparing for the bed.
The patient should sleep in blankets,
and glass Of warm drink should be
placed within reach in case he should
wake through the night.
If the presence Of food in the stomach
causes the reappearance Of the cough
after meals, some suitable preparation
Of pepsin should be used to hasten the
digestion, and an hour or two's rest
should be taken Immediately after the
meal.-Youth s Companion.

The Scholars of France.

As sample Of the payment of distin-
guished scholars in this country it may
be mentioned that NJ. CASTOR Boissier,
who was lately elected life secretary Of
the Academy, only received 5000 annu-
ally as rector of the College de France.
In his new position he is entitled to ST.
200, or double the sum paid him as head
Of the great educational establishment
over which Ernest Renan ruled. The
immortals, according to the foundatioy
rules, are supposed to be paid $500 year
ly, in addition to their fees for attend
ing meetings. AS matter of fact, how
ever, they only receive 5000 annually.

emicians get allowances, if their private

Animals That Commit Suicide.

Intelligent observers have testified to
facts which appear to show that in GER
tain circumstances tho snake, scorpion
and even some quadrupeds commit sui
eide. NJ. Henry, clock manufacturer Of
Longuyon, France, has recently described
an experiment Of the kind which he
made with wasp. The wasp was inn
prisoned under glass, and knowing
that benzine asphyxiates insects he put
some paper soaked in it beside the cap
tive. Tho wasp became uncomfortable,
then angrily attacked the paper, but find
ing all it's efforts unavailing it finally
lay down on it's back, and folding up its
abdomen planted its sting thrice into its
body. M. Henry was so curious to con-
firm the fact that, in spite Of his hu-
mane feelings, he repeated the expert
ment on three wasps with the like re-
sult.-LOndon Globe.

FROM COPAIIS.

County Assessor Warren is on the
beach, taking wcl-earned rest.
Thomas Humphrey has been clearing
land on his claim during the fine weather
the past summer.
The Carnage and Warren young folks
left the beach Saturday for their homes
in Hoquiam; the old folks will stay here
two weeks more.
C. II. Campbell has been over for a
few days "holding down" his claim and
clearing land. He intends to bring his
family here in the spring to remain per-
manently on his claim.
A good hotel is something this beach is
badly in need of, AS q great many people
who now go to other and far less pleasant
and interesting summer resorts would
come here if they could get hotel accom-
modations.
There have been about twice the num-
Der OF people here this summer as any
previous summer. Some came for the
benefit of their health, some for pleasure
and some for rest, and they all got what
they wanted and left we'll pleased, in
tending to return next year.
If those fellows who quack so much
about the gold reserve and the Morgan
Rothschild syndicate would attend a
kindergarten they no doubt could in
crease their knowledge concerning this
matter. The Sherman bill provides that
the secretary of the treasury shall make
one dollar as good as another, SO he can't
demand gold for nothing and is COM
PEELED to pay out gold whenever it is
requested. Now, how is he going to keep
up the gold reserve, and make one dollar
as good as another, without selling bonds
or getting in with some firm that has the
gold or some way OF getting it?

INFLUENCE OF SCIENCE.



The best that we gain from the pur.
suit Of research is, Professor c. S. Mi
not writes in The Popular Science
Monthly, our characteristic optimism
We are engaged in achieving results,
and results of the most permanent and
enduring quality. A business man may
achieve n fortune, but time will dissi-
pate it. A statesman may be the savior
of nation, but how long do nations
live? knowledge has no country, be-
longs to no class, but is the might Of
mankind, and it is mightier for what
each of us has done. We have brought
our stones, and they are built into the
editicc and into its grandeur. My stone

gotten that it is mine; nevertheless it
will remain in place.
How different is the pessilnism to-
ward which literary men arc seen tC

Russell Lowell in 1891 and Asa Gray in
1858. The letters of both of these emil

ellis letters grow sad and discouraged,
and lie gives way more and more to the
pessimistic spirit. Gray is optimistic
steadily and to the end The difference
was partly duc to natural temperament,
but chiefly, l think, to the influence of
their respective professions The subject
material Of the literary man is familiar
human nature and familiar human sur
roundings, and his task is to express
the thoughts and dreams which these
suggest. He must compete with the
whole past, with all the genius that has
been. There is nothing new under the
sun, he exclaims. But to us it is a PROV
erb contradicted by our daily expert
