Guatemala.

Guatemala might easily sustain ten times its present population. The soil is rich and easily cultivated, and, unlike the other Central American republics there is plenty of labor. Some parts of the country are quite thickly populated, but the others are covered with dense forests and variety of timber, which might be easily made marketable if means of transportation were provided But, although Guatemala is much further advanced than the rest of Gen. tral America, her railway system does not exceed 250 miles; there is no inter nal navigation, and the wagon roads are in a deplorable condition. The mineral wealth of the country is supposed to be large, but it is only slightly developed. The mines are inaccessible, and, in the absence of modern machinery, which at present cannot be conveyed to them. cannot be worked with profit.
 The government offers generous in ducements to immigrants. The land laws are liberal, and efforts have been made from time to time to secure the establishment of colonies and the pre- emption of public lands by private set tiers. But all the accessible area is at present occupied, and no foreigner can expect to prosper in Guatemala unless he has abundant capital which will enable him to purchase at high prices planta- tions already developed.

Transp1anting Muscles.

The wonders of surgery will, 1t seems, never cease. Among the most important achievements is the transplanting of muscles. This has been successfully done in the case of a patient who had for half a lifetime been unable to use one leg on account of paralysis occur ring in early childhood. The operation is thus described: "A six inch longi- tudinal incision is made on the inner side of the thigh, with the middle op- posite the top of the patella. The sarto- sertion, brought forward and attached to the muscular fascia just above and a little to the inner side of the patella.
 "The attachment must be made firmly by splitting the fascia and drawing the muscle through, so that it becomes ad- herent to both inner and outer surfaces Kangaroo tendon is used for sutures, being the best material. The wound is then closed, and the whole thigh is bandaged, and finally plaster of paris bandage, or 8 long splint, is applied. The patient is kept recumbent for two weeks at least, gentle motion is com menced at the end of three weeks, and the plaster is entirely omitted at the end of from five to six weeks. This op- eration has been performed several times with great success, the only failures oc- curing where the muscles were imper- fectly attached. This state of things was entirely remedied, however, in the later operations ''-New York Ledger.

A Queer old Geography.

Among the interesting old books and papers belonging to the late Edward W. Wells of this city was @ geography that lets in some light on the state of general information in the world a century and half ago
 America is "the last quarter of the world, and the "north part of the con- tinent is very little known" The map of North America gives all the region northwest of California as "parts un- known" The great lakes are down as Superior, nlenois, Huron, Erie and Frontenao. IN. England" is all one lit tie patch reaching up to the St. Law renee. Louisiana occupies most of the middle country. The "Oyo" river is the name of the Ohio. The chief town of New Jersey is said to be Elizabeth Town. The climate is thus explained, "In the north are vast unknown Noun tains, perpetually covered with snow from whence the Winds blowing the greatest part of the year these Countries become much colder than those in Eu- rope in the same latitudes.
 It is interesting to note that this work that is more than 8 century and half old should advocate quite vigorously the construction of canals across the Pana- ma and Suez isthmuses. - Hartford Courant

Had to Hustle For a Captain.

Judge George E. Mann tells the fol lowing story about the Second com pany of the Richmond Howitzer bat talion. "All the boys who wanted to be officers had been taken care of and the others preferred to be privates. Our first captain was George W. Randolph, who was afterward secretary of war of the Confederate states. He was succeed cd by John Thompson Brown, who was afterward made colonel A artillery. Then we tried to elect 8 captain, but none of the boys would have it. They went out to fight and were content to be privates The duties of captain were onerous, and none of them cared to ac- oept We had to get 8 captain from an other company. ''-Galveston Newa

Too Tired to Work.

Malaganians do not want to be both cred or improved. They want to be let alone. They neither welcome you when you come nor speed you when you go. They are indifferent which you do You may pay your bill to the day if you like or leave it if you had rather wait. Mo- body will touch 8 coin or a valuable if you leave it on your table, but if you lose 8 pencil or an eyeglass no one will ever find 1t It is too much trouble. Never hope to have letters forwarded, for you will see them no more, and few registered parcels escape the post entire.
 A year ago-for we wintered there twice-I wanted to send a telegram and went to the principal office. Malaga is fourth or fifth in importance among Spanish towns. The office was only open twice a day for an hour or two at Q time Not 8 clerk could speak any thing but Spanish, so had to go back to the hotel for the interpreter to trans late my message. When returned with 1t, l wanted a note for 25 pesetas (francs) changed. All the clerks at all the pigeonholes were very kind and civil and smoked cigarettes while they looked for change. But the whole office could not muster it, so was left to pay next time. It is as life apart alto gether.

MAY BE THE MISSING LINK.

That Mysterious and Useless Organ of
 Man, the Vermiform Appendix.
 A distinguished paleontologist claims to have discovered facts serving to show that the vermiform appendix, that mys- teriously useless organ that has annoyed the human family so much of late years, is no more nor less than the rudi- mentary remnant of the gizzard with which he believes the monstrous pro- genitors of man of the tertiary period of the earth s existence were supplied. Some of these gigantic creatures, lizards in form, birds in kind. animals in some functions, are believed to have devel- oped by the gradual stages described by the supporters of the theory of evolu- tion into the semblance of a human be- ing.
 If the bird form be the original of the human race, it is reasonable to believe that it may have been supplied with 8 gizzard, which in the bird of modern time possesses definite and important function in the digestion of the food. The bird having no teeth the food is in many cases swallowed whole. Some birds can crush the food with their beaks, but normally the digestion is permitted largely through the agency of the gizzard, where the food is ground into fine particles. The interior coating of this organ is rough and muscular. Many birds swallow, as far as the gig gard, small pebbles that aid the process of attrition. Thus If the latest theory be correct 8 curious paradox is present. ed Whereas in the beginning, as now, the gizzard performed its functions most satisfactorily when supplied with indigestible substances, it's rudiment that now remains in the human struc- ture becomes center of dangerous con- ditions as soon as any foreign substance, and especially any hard matter, is de- posted in it.
 One of the marvels of anatomy for some years has been this strange sac in the upper intestines, apparently with out the least function in the digestive system and capable of being removed without affecting the health of the pa tient save to a favorable degree. Re- searches have revealed many traces of such rudiments in the human system. Darwin's s studies brought to light many resemblances between man and the lower orders. It may now be that the despised vermiform appendix will be exploited as the real missing link" binding man to the past ages, when life assumed many forms that are today un- known.-WashinQt Star.

Gladstone Fooled Them.

On one occasion two gentlemen, in- vited as guests at 8 table where MT. Gladstone was expected, made 8 wager that they would start a conversation on 8 subject about which even MT. Glad stone would know nothing. To accom- plish this end they read up an ancient magazine article on some unfamiliar subject connected with Chinese manu- factures. When the favorable opportu- nifty came. the topic was started, and the two conspirators watched with amusement the growing interest in the subject which MT. Gladstone's face be- trayed Finally he joined in the con- versation, and their amusement was turned into gnashing of teeth-to speak .fguratively-when MT. Gladstone said, An, gentlemen. perceive you have been reading an article wrote in the - Magazine some 80 or 40 years aQOo

 The latest freak of folly and fashion Is the "Grecian bend," which Is the name applied to an unnatural position in which the ladies who effect the new style are trying to hold the body.

He says a belt about the waist and strap about each thigh, with @ tightly drawn connecting strap on each side brings the person into the coveted position, and to look at the figures of the "Grecian bender" we should think that might produce it,

Our Combination.

For the benefit OF our subscribers the
WADswoRTH DISPATCH has made a COM
bination with the San Francisco Bulle-
tin by which both papers will be sent
by mail one year for $3.50, paid in ad-
vance. Both papers will be sent six
months for 1925, three months for $1.75,
or 70 cents per month by mail or carrier.
The Bulletin gives the full Associated
Press and leased wire news to subscrib-
ers throughout the county sixteen hours
ahead of the San Francisco morning
papers, and by this combination we have
made the two papers cost a trihe more
than the regular subscription price of
one. The only requirement is that sub
scriptions be paid in advance and there
will be no deviation from this rule un-
less delivered by carrier.
Try the combination for three months
and we are satisfied that you will renew
at the expiration of that time. Address,

Stoker, the "wheat king of Nevada
is working large force of men on hi,
ranch preparing for large increase in
wheat the coming season. n.-Loyelock
Tribune.
Full many year good King Wheat reigned
And merrily reigned he,
he wept when his toiling serfs complained
Laughed when harvests rich they gained
And, by their sweat his power maintained
Even beyond the sea-
But there came day, not long ago,
Pity the poor old king.
When his subjects learned that with plow
and hoe,
And by giving their brains just half O sho W
They could make a sort of a Republic go
And they didn't do thing"
They dragged King Wheat from his high estate,
Treating him gently, though,
For they let him pose as O candidate
For all the off1ces, small or great.
And he seemed to wiggle along first rate,
For king who had to go"
Stead of one king, they made kings galore,
Not good thing was missed,
For the young republic, with open door,
Welcomed new monarchs from ev'ry shore
And crowned them all and called for more
And here is partial list:
The pensive COW, the sugar beet and the ever
thoughtful hen;
The dizzy duck the stately goose and the
porker in the pen;
The noble horse, the bashful sheep and the
pessimistic mule;
The turkey fatt'ning for the time of mistletoe
and yule
The toothsome tuber's generous yield, the
rutabaga rich;
The portly pumpkins golden gleam, the mel
Ions, squash, and SIGH;
The onion, bringing breath Of life, the beans
and peas and radishes;
Cabbage, cowcumbers and tomats-none of

But why try to enumerate our truly sovereign
treasures?
