GAME OF SLICED ANIMALS.
IL Is n Most Amusing Pnstlme ana
Causes a Great Deal
OF sport

Tho sliced animal game is a unique
device for drawirg-room amusement.
From four TO ten can play at this game,
and II many take part a large table is
necessary. The box Of sliced animals is
turned upside down ON the table, and
each player takes four slices, the faces
being turned down.
The one who plays first lays out one
Of the sections face up. The clever
player win make n blind lead-that Is,
not giving away the animal by the
head The next player looks 20 see II
he has any part that will add 20 what
he other has played. If not, he draws
from what remained in the center Of
The table, and, failing TO get q satisfac-
tory slice, he does not play, and the
next In turn tries.
Counters must be provided for each
person, a color for each. These win
need TO be punched so as TO be placed
ON a file when the player has succeeded
in fitting a part to the animal These
counters can be easily cut out Of thin
cardboard. When the animal is com
plcted the player who contributed the
most parts wins one point.
One animal being completed, Gnoth-
er is started. This sometimes becomes
rather uproarious, as the most gro
tesque errors are often made in trying
10 fit the pieces.
The proper prize for such game as
this would be some child's book on ami

and was taken down the Nile. and
thence TO the Citadel hospital at Cairo,
where, despite all the efforts of the sur
geons, the bullet could not be located,
the Y rays being then unknown.
Sergt. Billion, late of the medical
staff corps, who is now in London and
who was then specially detailed TO look
after the injured officer, states that
the wound was a healthy one, and very
soon healed, and the medical officers
came to the conclusion that the bullet
had worked its way out without being
noticed, on the passage down the Nile.
Billion one day tempted his patients APP
petite with a tasty beefsteak. which
the major had no sooner attacked than
he put his hand to his throat exclaim-
ing: ''Bilton, if there was no bone in
the steak. I've swallowed that bullet

the case, the bullet passing through
the Glimentary canal without injury to

Charity which Is No Charity.

Going blindly into charitable work,
for the simple sake of being charitable,
works far more injury than good. Too
many there are of such charities which
seek to apply the help at the wrcag
end. No practical results easuS from
ruch work; on the other hand, antag-
onism is aroused and positive injury
is effected. A well-intentioned charity
Is useless except where tits intelligent
IS directed and comprehensively APP
Piled. Mere organization counts for
nothing. Conditions must first be
studied. II is not to be wondered at
hat the needy often refuse the chart
les offered them. II is not that they
are unappreciative. But they do resent,
and justly so, the charity which is no
charity at all, the charity which is mis-
applied, which shows its ignorance Of
their true needs, and which, well in
,entioned though it be, emphasizes
their lot in life instead of alleviating

SKULL CRUSHED BY A TRAIN.
AN UNKNOWN MAN MET DEATH
yesterday.
He Was Struck by a Folsom Train
Down on the River
Front.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
an unknown man was struck by the
outgoing Folsom train on the river
front, between n and o streets, and
was picked up in an unconscious condl-
tion and taken to the Receiving hos
pital, where he was attended by Assist
ant City Physician Ogden.
SO far as can be learned, nobody saw
the train strike the man, though ne
was seen walking along the track a rev
minutes before it passed. The left side
OF his skull was found to be fractured,
and at Z O'Clock he breathed his last
without regaining consciousness. The
Coroner took charge of the remains.
The dead man was about 90 years OF
age, was about five feet six inches high,
had gray hair and a full, bushy gray
beard, was dressed in a coarse black
coat, blue overalls and brogan shoes.
In his pocket was found a memoran-
dunn book with the name Samuel L..
More" on the first page, but there was
nothing else which would lead to his
Identity, except a quinine pill box,
which originally came from the County
Hospital. The attendants at the hos
pital, however, could recall no man who
had been treated there who answered
the description Of the unfortunate.
Coroner Clark's deputies are of the
opinion that the man was tramping
through the country and did not belong
in this city, and that he was given the
Quinine by some one who had been
treated at the hospital

islature in enacting the law; and from
the wording of the title, above quoted
and the provisions of Section of the
Act, it seems to me unquestionably to
have been the intention of the Legis-
lature that the Auditing Board to the
Commissioner of Public Works should
| expend a portion of the money appro-
priated for the purchase, construction
and operation of one or more dredgers,
or machines and appliances. to improve
and rectify the river channels of the
State of California"
My views in this regard are con-
firmed by the prominence given in the
report in question to the subject of and
the necessity for a dredger in carrying
out the work contemplated by that re-
port. Under the heading, 1.-The Dawn
of a New Era it is said in that re-
port, among other things:
THE cost of moving earth has here
tofore been so great that the question
of deepening rivers-enlargihg their ca
Ipacity by mechanical means-has been,
/ to some extent, avoided by the en-
| gineer. We therefore take pleasure in
/ calling your earnest attention to
/ dredging machine that has been con-
structed in the past year which bids
/ fair to revolutionize the methods of
handling earth in river beds, the cor
Irection Of faulty waterways, and ulti-
mately giving to mankind the engine of
hope with which to construct the
foundation of untold prosperity"
The machine in question is then de-
I fscribed, and the report continues:
cit is not necessary for US to further
comment upon the possibilities Of this
! great machine. The field for such
monster eartheater in California is
broad, and the conditions demand the
immediate action on the part of the
State authorities If we had a machine
; that would do the work claimed for
( the dredger just described, the New
/ ton Shoals would disappear in thirty
to fifty days at a cost not to exceed
$4,000 or $4,000. Horseshoe Bend
would become a gentle curving river,
deep and self-preserving. All the ad-
vantages claimed for the deepening OF
the Newton Shoals in the previous con-
sideration Of that subject would dawn
upon the people Of this valley so sud
denly that the best Informed would
stand in wonderment at the great ef-
feet of the work The restoration or
the river would no longer be ques-
ton involved in theories of engineers,
but in a short time the radical predlc-
tions of the most skeptical would dis
appear in the whirl of progress. Com
bfne the power of the f1ood-waters with
the energy of Bates dredger, and the
lowering of the flood line Of the Sacra-
mento River is assured"
This, Of course, must undoubtedly
have influenced the Legislature in the
enactment of the law under consider
alton. Respectfully,
w. F. FITZGERALD,
Attorney-General.

A TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Care of the Health While Travelling.

Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Care of the Health While Travelling.
Mr.. r. w. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose bus
mess keeps him almost constantly on
the road, relates in the Sunday News
the dangers to health resulting from
constant change of residence and the
way he overcame the usual injurious
effects.
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the stomach
never has an opportunity to become ac-
customed to anything and in a few
years or much sooner the average trav-
cling man becomes a hopeless dyspep-
tic.
For several years 1 suffered more or
less from Indigestion, sour stomachs,
headaches, distaste for food, often no
appetite gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion
Nearly every travelling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles
and 1 tried all of them with Indifferent
results. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day I
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom had suffered Sc
verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by a remedy
which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets: I remembered the conversa- :
tion because it directly interested me
and at the next town I inquired at the
first drug store and bought a package
for fifty cents, and from that day to
this I have never been without them.
They are pleasant tasting tablets, not
a secret patent medicine, but composed
of vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit
salts and Golden Seal; being in tablet
form they never lose their good quail
ties like a liquid medicine would, but
are always fresh and ready for use.
I carry a box in my pocket continu-
ally and whenever I see any symptoms
of Indigestion take one, also one after
each meal, and for year and half
I have not lost a day by reason of poor
health. and can eat anything and rel
ish what I eat; my digestion is abso-
lutely perfect as far as / can judge
from my feelings, and although there
NAV be other stomach medicines just
as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
I do not know what they are. Certain
ly for people who travel they are far
ahead of any liquid medicine. as they
are so convenient; they can be carried
in the pocket and used whenever
needed.
I believe they are sold by all druggists
at so cents. and believe anyone who
will try them will agree with me, that
for Indigestion and stomach trouble
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are un-
equaled.
