The following anecdote of three
horned beetle will give some. idea of its
vast strength of body. a beetle was
brought in, and, there being no box at
hand in which to put it. it was clapped
under a quart bottle Of milk, which
happened to be upon the table, the hol-
low at the bottom Of the bottle allowing
the insect TO stand upright.
Presently the bottle began TO move
slowly and glide along the smooth ta-
BILE. propelled by the muscular power of
the imprisoned beetle, and continued
its travels fer some time, to the aston
ishment of all who witnessed it. The
weight of the bottle and its contents
could not have been less than three
pounds and half, while that of the
beetle was about half an ounce So that
it readily moved a weight 112 times
greater than its own.
A>hetter notion than figures can con-
vey will be obtained of this feat by sup
posing "a lad of Is to be imprisoned

The Diet of the consumptive.

DR.. Cutter of New York, one of the
editors of The Dietetic and Hygienic
Gazette, declares the most important
part of the treatment of tuberculosis
patients is the diet. 1t should, he says,
consist largely of animal foods. OF
these, eggs and milk should preponder-
ate. Eggs are best given raw when the
patient can take them thus. The albu-
men of the egg is similar to blood albu-
men and is digested, or rather absorb
ed, into. the blood without undergoing
an elaborate digestive process The
white of the egg, mixed with water, is
often tolerated when the yolk cannot be
borne by the stomach. Bone marrow of
the OK he regards as of greater value
than cod liver oil. Good butter may be
used freely and should be spread thick
ly on thin slices CT bread. Heavy meals
are to be avoided. The patient should
take small quantities of food between
meals

Army Regulations Against mastering

PITTsBURG, June 16.-Mayor W. J.

o. E. Hawkins, which read as follows:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, June IA.
Mayor W. J. Diehl, Pittsburg:
MY DEAR SIR-Major Johnston of
the adjutant generals department..
agrees with me that the Tenth must
be mustered out in San Francisco
or lose both travel pay and ration allow
ance, and according to the law on the
subject would have to be mustered out
1T the state rendezvous, probably Camp
Mea1e or Mount Gretna. The loss to
each, taking into. account both travel
pay all ration allowance is as follows:
PriyaJes, 81 cents for every 20 miles;
corporals, 80 cents; sergeants, Sl.02;
first sergeants, Sl.30, sergeant major,
$l.66; second heutenants,- $3.50; first
heutenants. 81. II; captains, So; majors,
1854; lieutenant colonel, SS.33; colonel,
S9.72.
The amount for the entire regiment,
you can plainly see, lis very great, and it
would be a great injustice to all the
men. | sincerely hope that you will
fully represent this to the committee
The program. as laid out by the commit
tee, to have the regiment mustered out
in Pittsburg, and yet. obtain travel pay
and ration money Is impossible, and di-
rectly opposed to regulations on the
subject. Very sincerely,
@. E. HAWKINS.

Soldering Glass.

Margot, in some interesting investi-
cations in soldering glass, has establish
ed the fact that an alloy composed of 90
parts of tin and parts of zinc will melt
at about 392 degrees Fahrenheit. Be-
coming firmly adherent to the glass, it
is unalterable and exhibits an attractive
luster. An alloy containing 80 parts of
tin and 10 parts of aluminium will melt
at 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and also
forms strong and brilliant solder for
glass. With these two alloys always
ready to hand, glass may be soldered as
easily as two pieces of metal. When
the glass is heated in furnace, the sol
dering can be accomplished by rubbing
the surface with rod of either of the
compositions named. The alloy as it
flows can be evenly distributed with a
soldering iron.-St. Louis Post:Dis-

Vancouver advices speak of the sale of
two Chinese girls into slavery by their IA
ther at Quesvelle. A pioneer of the Carl

the way from China to be slaves of bach

Duddy-How did it happen?
Fuddy-Charley Titler, who also has
an eye on Miss Kumfort, saw her and
Tom sitting in the car as happy as two
turtiedoves. He got woman in the
next seat to ask Tom if he would please
open the window. OF course Tom tried
to comply. and of course he failed mis-
erably. That was too much for Miss

that the courts would award a COM
plaintant who had complied with
the law an injunction, and the or
der Of the court 'foald restrain the
party who was violating same from
interfering with the vested right
Of the complainant, and IL he weigh
ed for the public he would have to
do so without compensation.
There is no penalty in the act
save as above set out. The crimi-
nal code does contain a most adj
mirable chapter on oilenses bypub-
lie weighers reaching almost every
phase OF the case, and you need
not look to the civil statutes for
punishment, the old articles did
not contain any criminal penalty.

For some days my attention has

passed by the Twenty-sixth legi'-
lature. By reading same it will
be found to be a complete substitu-
lion Of the law as fonnd in the Re-
vised Statutes of 1895.
Article 1876, is the article that
we may have to do with in this
county, and especially in this city.
Note, the article provides that in
places where there are no public
weighers appointed or elected, that
any person who shall weigh cotton,
etc., for the compensation thereof,
shall be required before weighing
such produce, to enter into bond
with at least two good and suilici.

provisions of this act.
have quoted at length from the
article so as to get the points made

the law says that persons who de-

think it questionable. | don't
think that that article imposes any
obligation on any man that he has

The question arises is he to derive
any benefit from the law. If YOU
will refer to article 1914 YOU will
note that any one violating the
