THEIR OWN SURGEONS.
How Animals Doctor Themselves When
Sick or Wounded.

HOW animals Doctor Themselves When
Sick or Wounded.
Animals, when wild, constantly die
a lingering death from injury to the
skin, whether caused, as usually hap
pens in tropical countries, by wounds
aggravated by insects or by cutaneous
disease. Hence the pains which they
take in making their toilet, and in the
use and selection of cosmetics"
Among birds, the saltwater species
often seek fresh water to wash in; diff
ferent land birds choose different
earths in which to dust, and also wash
in water, and nearly every tropical ami
NAL, including the tiger, bathes either
in water or mud.
Perhaps the best known mudbathers
are the wild boar, the water buffalo and
the elephant. The latter has an mex
pensive advantage over all other ami
mails in the use of it's trunk for dress
ing wounds. 1t is at once a syringe, a
powdering puff and hand.
Water, mud and dust are the main
Appliances" used, though it sometimes
covers a sun-scorched back with grass
or leaves.
Wounded elephants" writes Sir
Samuel Baker, "have marvellous power
of recovery. When in their wild state
although they have no gifts of surgical
knowledge, their simple system is con-
fined to plastering their wounds with
mud, or blowing dust upon the surface
Dust and mud comprise the entire phar
,macopoeia of the elephant, and this is
applied upon the most trivial and the
most serious occasions. They have beer
seen, when in tank, to plaster up a bul
let-wound with mud taken from the
| bottom"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-03-26

Some English sailors, observing his
swagger, remarked that "Ginger"
should be brought out and introduced.
One of them went on board the Eng
lish gunboat and brought out Gin
GER" lusty cat of lofty British preten-
tions and aristocratic mien. The two
cats met on the dock and touched noses
in disdainful way, when, all of sud-
den, Charley" let fly his right paw,
striking the Briton on the jaw and
knocking him overheard. This act
performed he strutted back to his ship
as if to say: Did you see me do i'm ?"
His performance was cheered by the
Yorktown jackies and that cats stock
rose so per cent. then and there. The
picture of the Yorktown's pet which ac-
companies this is in the possession of
nearly every officer and sailor on the
ship. Scores of them have been sent
home and thousands of people in the
United States know about the York;
towns feline mascot. All such will be
pleased to know that "Charley" is fat
and hearty, despite his weight of years
and the most beloved cat afoat.

GOES TO SUPREME COURT.

An appeal to the Supreme Court
has been taken by the plaintiffs in
the case of John w. Goldsworthy and
Peter Lenahan, poor directors of the
Conyngham and Centralia Poor Dis
trict VS.. B. ]. Doyle, poor director ;
Frank Brennan, steward, and c. G..
Murphy.
This is a bill in equity filed by
Goldsworthy and Lenahan, asking for
an Injunction to restrain Doyle from
acting with Patrick ]. Cain as poor
director, to restrain Murphy from col
lecting taxes, for the district and to
restrain Brennan, steward, from recog-
nizing Doyle and Cain as board Of
poor directors. The case was certi-
fed to Judge Metzger of William
sport, Icy Judge 1keler, and a con-
siderable amount of testimony has
been taken. The allegations are that
at the February election in 1895,
Peter Lenahan and Patrick J. Cain
we're candidates for poor directors in
Conyngham township; that Peter
Lenahan was elected, and received
certificate of election from three
judges of the FIVE districts in the
township; that the board of directors
organized in April 1895 with Colds
worthy and Doyle present, the two
directors holding over, and that
Patrick J. Cain appeared with a certi
ficate of election, also signed by three
Judges of the five districts the name
of William Goodman appearing on
both certificates that William Good
man alleged that he signed Gains
certificate by reason of duress and
fear of bodily harm. Goldsworthy
refused to recognize Gains certificate,
and Doyle refused to recognize Lena
hans, and Doyle withdrew from the
meeting. Goldsworthy and Lenahan
then proceeded to organize board
and elect officers, and Doyle and
Cain organized another one. Andrew
Lenahan was elected treasurer and
tax collector of the former, and c. G..
Murphy of the latter board. Brennan,
who was elected steward by both
boards, is in possession of the Boor
House property, and refuses to rec
ognize the Goldsworthy board. Both
boards are issuing orders,
Judge Metzger filed an opinion dis
solving the injunction and dismissing
the bill, on the ground that IN this
proceeding the court had no jurisdic-
ton to decide which was the legally
elected director, and from this de-
cislon the appeal is taken. Messrs.
Wilhelm of Pottsville, and Barkley
and Wintersteen represent the ap-
pellants, and Messrs. Freeze and
Scarlet the appellees. The case will
be argued in Philadelphia, the third
week in April.
