COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
FROM COPALIS.


There have been more hard rains and
high water in the creeks since Christmas
than for many years.
A. $. Brecht was over on his claim a
short time ago, and shows his faith in
the country by putting ont nice little
orchard.
James Streeter has at last got instruc-
tons from the land office to 60 ahead and
complete title to his homestead, which
he is gladly doing.
Some OF the hardy sons of North Beach
turned out last Friday and chopped wood
for Uncle Johnny Winters, who is con-
fined to the house with sore foot.
Indian Jackson had quite an ex-
perience and narrow escape from drown
ing while crossing Jo creek, on the
beach, last week, losing his wagon and
part OF a load of groceries he was taking
to the agency. A part Of the load were
apples, which were picked up along the
beach next day, not much damaged.
The settlers turned out and put hand
car on the cable across 10 creek, where
the foot-bridge formerly stood, and the
car is grand success and the people are
proud of it, but no one will ever cross it
twice for sport and we are OF the opinion
that it will be a good many years before
it will be worn out by the boys who pl ay
along the beach.

She Now Declares That Lawyers Come
Under the Head of Nuisances.
A few evenings ago q lawyer living
IN West Philadelphia was visited at his
residence by an indignant woman, who
declared that she had come for legal ad-
vice, and in businesslike manner de-
posted on his table a 50 note as a re-
tanning fee. After pocketing the money
the man Of law politely requested her
to proceed with her statement. She said
she was continually afflicted with a SO.
ries of nuisances which she desired the
lawyer to have abolished.
She was annoyed by a neighbor on
Duo side, she said, who is music teach
u and trainer Of the voice. The con-
slant humping OH the piano and tho
d1scordant notes of tho vocal students
made her very nervous. On the other
side the neighbor kept chickens, which
awolze her early in the morning by their

day by flying over the fence and invad-
ing her premises. Day and night she
was made nervous by the noise Of the

grinders and peddlers made her life mis-.

by calling their wares, and she wanted
to know what action she must take in
order to be made free of such nuisances.
The lawyer reflected q few moments
with compressed brow, and then said,
Madam, you are decidedly unfortu-

go to real estate agent and engage him
to secure for you nice comfortable

THE SECKROOM NURSE.
Her Dates, Her Authority and Her Pow
erS For Evil or Good.

her Duties, Her Authority and Her Pow.
ers For Evil or Good.
No person has greater power for evil
or for good than has the nurse in the
sickroom. Her actual authority is Sec
ond to that of the physician, but her op-
portunities for exercising it arc almost
unlimited. If physician in a country
town wishes to secure trained nurse,
he should telegraph or write to the
nurses directory, to some hospital or
physician whom he knows, in the near
est adjacent city, stating for what sort
Of a case he will require nurse, what
he will pay and when he will require
her Such message should secure for
him almost Immediately whatever serv-
ice he requires
The traits of character which make
tho ideal nurse are patience, obedience,
tact and good sense and temper. The
nurse s costume should consist of CAM
brio or seersucker gown, with white
cap, cuffs and apron. Wooden gowns
should never be permitted in sickroom.
Her authority is absolute after the ply
sician's. She must obey his instructions
to the letter, even if they are against
her Judgment. She has no discretion in
the matter.
But the patient and the patient s fam
lily must obey her. She must never be
allowed to disobey the physicians Or
ders, and the first symptom Of any such
behavior should be reported Immediate
ly to the physician. All his instructions
with reference to treatment, diet and
care should be followed faithfully. The
fact that her patient is man should
make no difference in her behavior in
the sickroom. He is patient, not a
man, and she nurse, not a woman.
Whenever a nurse disobeys a physician Z
orders or behaves in any manner which
renders her dismissal advisable, the
family or the patient should request the
doctor to discharge her at once and to
supply her substitute A word from him
is sufficient to insure her departure. -

QUEER LANGUAGE.
rhe Champion Tongue" OF Wild but In.
offensive Race.

fhe "Canphor Tongue" OF wild but In.
offensive Race.
One of the queerest languages in tho
world, used for the queerest purposes,
is the "camphor language" Of Johore.
country Of the Malay peninsula. It has
lately been studied and reported upon
by Mr.. Lake, an English engineer in
the service of the sultan Of Johore. This
language is called the "Pantang Ka-
por," or camphor language, and is used
by the natives and all others who arc
engaged in gathering the product Of the
Maiayan camphor tree and only at that
time. If they used either Of the Ian
guages Of the region, the Malay or the
aboriginal Jakun, the natives believe
that they could not obtain any camphor,
and for most curious reason. The cam
phor tree, Dryoblanops camphora, grows
abundantly in certain parts Of the Pc
ninsula, but only occasionally contains
camphor crystals. The camphor is not
the same as that obtained from the cam.
phor laurel of Formosa and Japan.
which is the source of the ordinary cam
phor Of commerce. 1t is o sort very
highly priced by the Chinese in the en-
balming of their dead, in incense and in
medicine, and the gum brings much
more than the common camphor.
The Malayans and other Johore ma
tives believe that each species Of tree
has spirit or divinity that presides
over it's affairs. The spirit Of the cam
phor tree is known by the name Of BIZ
san-literally "a woman" Her resting
place is near the trees, and when at
night peculiar noise is heard in tho
woods, resembling that Of a cicada, the
Bisan is believed to be singing, and
camphor will surely be found in the
neighborhood But the spirit Of the CAM
phor tree seems to be jealous Of the pre-
cious gum and must be propitiated, and
If she knows that hunters are in quest
Of it she will endeavor to turn their
steps aside. So it is necessary to speak
in tongue which she does not undw-
stand. For this purpose the "camphor
language" has been invented. 1t con-
sists Of mixture Of Jakun and Malay
words, but these are curiously altered
and reversed, and the natives positively
believe that the divinity Of the camphor
tree is completely confused. The Jakuns
who hunt the camphor are one Of the
widest of people, but inotfensive. They
live together with monkeys, dogs, cats,
innumerable fowls and perhaps tame
hornbill in perfect harmony under NOV
able leaf shelters built OH poles in the
woods Boston Traveller.

Forge and Furnace of the Future.
The opinion is expressed by a writer
In The Mechanical News that the forge
and furnace Of the future will consist Of
lead lined glass or porcelain vase, or
cupola, filled with cold aciditied water,
to which is connected a strong positive
conductor, the forge and outfit being
rendered complete by a pair Of tongs
with insulated handles attached to a
flexible negative conductor. According
to this plan, the smith seizes the piece
Of iron which is to be manipulated with
the insulated tongs and plunges it into
the sour water, which begins to boil
and bubble the instant it comes in con-
tact with the iron, the latter, in re-
markably short space of time, turning
to red and then to white heat, ready
for the work of the smith. So rapidly
indeed is the heating done by this means
that the water and the portion Of the
iron not immersed in the water are but
slightly warmed. The principle involv.
