A citizen of Owosco, Mich, raised
howl to the city assessor, claiming
that his property was assessed at an
extravagantly high figure. He wound
up by declaring that if Mr.. Laverock
could sell the property at the valua-

could have commission Of per cent.
In less than two hours Mr.. Laverock
had sold fine residence and two bust

have his commission, which amounts
to $500, if he has to sue for It,

A departure from old methods OF log
transportation has been recently made
ION the Columbia river. This consists
In building huge RATS 50 substantially
that they can be towed to San Fran
cisco 1t is no small undertaking to
put to sea with stupendous, unwield-
tly raft and successfully tow IL almost
a thousand miles; but the trip has been
accomplished number of times and
promises to become regular business
The logs are principally for piling and
posts and one raft will contain as much
as 100000 lineal feet The RATS are
built somewhat in the shape of colos-
sal cigar, and each log Is fitted care
fully into its place. The whole is fast
ened together with tons of chains, till
the danger OF going to pieces at sea
is reduced to minimum.
1t is now held by the New York
Board of Health that pneumonia has
permanently displaced consumption as
the leading cause Of death in that city.
In the past year the excess Of deaths
from pneumonia over those by con-
sumption was greater than ever before.
Influenza has brought this about.
Prior to 1890 consumption had always
been the chief cause of mortality, but
Influenza, which easily runs into the
acute lung trouble. has now become
domesticated in this country. Chica-
go's experience in this regard CORE
spends exactly with New York's.

A weezen-eyed pin peddler who re-

medical institute in Arkansas has just
come to the front and pounced upon
the medical fraternity with the Woe
full question. What is a microbe?'
Now, any schoolboy with sense
enough to pour water out Of a boot
with the directions printed on the
sole knows what a microbe IS and
am astonished that even quaek dis
penser Of calomel and quinine should
ask such a question. But this IS not
all. The ginseng tea artist from the
bayou bottoms Of the Mississippi de-
clares that no such thing exists as a
bacterial germ and deiies the scien-
tilic men OF the country to prove it.

field. Bach Terra and Mike Robe
have put on the celestial market more
angels than All the doctors combined,

work that not a job has ever been re-
turned. After they became famous
