An Elk Horn Fence.

At Mammoth Hot Springs, in Yellow.
stone Park, there is fence made of elk
horns. 1t incloses the greater part of the
grounds OF Photographer f. Jay Haynes

300 selected elk horns. All of them have
~ points, and great many have the
royal IA points. They were shed in
March, 1895. and were gathered in June
OF the same year by Mr.. Haynes and
three OF his men within a radius of ten
miles of Mammoth Hot Springs and
within four days time. There are about
1900 elk in the park now. Each pair of
horns would bring 81. 90 at the railroad

TONlCS.
Two Edged Swords Capable OF Mischief
Well a. Benefit


There IL perhaps no class Of remedial
agents more abused than tonicg. The
abuse consists both in the excessive use
and the misapplication Of this class of
agents, which, within restricted field.
possess an indisputable and important
therapeutic value. The misuse OF topics
IL doubtless the outgrowth of a miscon.
ception Of the real nature Of this class
OF remedial agents and its limitations.
Many physicians also seem TO lose sight
OF the fact that tonics are, as has been
aptly said OF drugs in general, two edged
swords, which are as capable Of mischief
as OF benefit. Indeed, when the true ma.
ture OF tonics-as is true, in fact, Of most
medicinal AGENTS. thoroughly under
stood, 1t is apparent that even in cases
In which they accomplish the maximum
on benefit there is also a certain amount
OF injury inflicted upon the organism.
80 that the effect obtained is really and
simply the difference between the mis-.
chief done and the good accomplished.
IL the difference is on one side. the total
result is benefit; IL Oh the other side, the
result Is harm. This principle holds
good with regard to most remedies,
whether the means employed is a drug
or nonmedicinal agent.
The popular idea Of tonic il well
expressed in the following definition,
which we find in the National Medical
Dictionary, IAN agent which augments
gradually and permanently the strength
and vital activity Of the body OF its
parts " A stimulant is defined by the
same authority as being AN agent which
increases the functional activity of any
organ or series Of organs " The iistinc-
ton made seems-to be that stimulant
produces temporary excitement, whereas
tonic produces "a permanent increase
OF strength and vital activity. Good
Health.

There are no troops here and the militia and the police of the colony combined amount to less than 1000 men. In the disputed territory there are practically only handful of miners, and they are unarmed.
 It is claimed by the British govern ment that, exclusive of government in- stitutions, there are over SC, 900 subjects of the queen in Essequeto county alone. In reality, if a line were drawn south from the Marooca river, it would be found that there are not more than 2, 2,O0O actual settlers between that and the Sehomburgh line, perhaps not more than 1000.
 From this it will be seen that the British claim about the homes of her subjects In the disputed territory is very weak, and would hold very little water before an arbitration commits sion. And because of the uncertainty of their claim the people here are decided ly against arbitration, except regarding that part of the land which is not pro- ducing gold.

SHOOTS WITH ONE ARM.
< California Hunter Who Kills Game to
 Support Family of Seven.

California Hunter Who Kills tsame to
 Support Family of Seven.
 For 28 years Thomas Allen, of Mon- terey, familiarly known as 'Allen the Hunter has been making living for seven people with his left arm and a gun. One day when he was about Is years of age he was out hunting ducks on the Monterey lagoon. In some man. her his gun caught and was discharged, wounding him in his right arm, near the shoulder. He lay in the jules with his arm bleeding profusely until he was picked up by some men who chanced to pass, and was taken to his home. Dr. Garfield, of Monterey, and Dr. Cal lahan, of San Francisco, both noted physicians in the early days of Califor- nia, held a consultation. Owing to the great loss of blood they pronounced the boy beyond the reach of medical aid His mother, however, called in an old Indian herb doctor, and before the year was out the boy was as we'll as ever, but minus his right arm.
 Young Aliens father was famous marksman, and the boy seemed to in nCiib q ollObS tdotC lOi HUH tiiIS. " lieu he was only four years old he would beg to go with his father to shoot the little eats,' as he called the cotton tail rabbits which infested Monterey in those days. When five years old his career as hunter began, for his father took him out in a field adjoin- ing their home, placed the gun over a chair, and let him shoot at one of the little cats. He killed it, and from that moment he has always had mania for hunting all sorts of game.
 When Mr. Allen was 15 and the ac- cident occurred that resulted in the loss of his right arm he thought that his hunting days were over. As his father died shortly before, part of the support of the family devolyed upon him. At first he tried the gaming table, as it seemed his only resource.
 Tn those days" said he, in speaking of the matter recently, 'S20 gold pieces were more common than niclzels are to- day But I didn't like the ups and downs of a gamblers life and the as sociat;ons, so I gave it up and deter mined to learn to shoot with my left arm. San Francisco Examiner.
