Some people are having a great
scare Over small pox. One man in
particular who threatened last sum-
mer to carry off every body who had
a pimple on their face and put them
in the pest house, is 50 frightened now
that he will not allow people who
live a mile away to come near his
place. There is nothing like the

An exciting little horse race was
witnessed a few days ago from the

bows who had started home from New
Jerusalem, got out Of the buggy to
let down a gate when the horses

on a, horse and started in pursuit
while another man took after them
on a wheel. The last seen of any of
them was a cloud of dust in tie

Row to Catch the Polar Bear.

How to Catch the Polar Hear.
/ listened attentively the other nigh

deal Of valuable information concern
ing these interesting regions. He knew
l was a tenderfoot and a newspaper
reporter and felt at liberty, therefore, to
talk freely. SO l got a lot of yarns about
polar bears and walruses and other
creatures. large and small, which are
not related In natural histories. be-
lieve it was one Of the advisers of
"Alice In Wonderland who suggested
that the best way to catch q rabbit is
70 get behind a stump and make a
noise like a carrot, and l learned with
great satisfaction that the easiest way
to catch a polar bear Is to hide behind
an iceberg and make a noise like the
aurora borealis. Polar bears are very
tame and, like newspaper reporters and
some other people, are gifted with in
curing minds. When a stranger comes
out on the ice, they greet him cordially
and show a justiiable curiosity as to
his business and intentions, which
causes them to fall an easy prey to the
parlor rug trust.-Norway Letter in

A General Theory OF Machines.


In the Compt2s I.cndus Of the PARIS
Academy of sciences NJ. koenigs has
printed a sketch CT 4 general theory o1
mechanisms. Every machine consists
Of a number Of material bodies, re
sistances. Joined together reciprocally
upon which natural forces act TO pro
duce a desired effect, and the effect
may be either a state of rest or one OF
motion. The resisting bodies and thei1
connections are the mechanism. Its eff
feet is not known until we define the
acting forces. The same machine viii
produce different effects according as
different forces play upon it.
Machines are subject to three ef-
fects-static when the forces produce
equilibrium; kinetic when the result Is
motion, and. finally, associative when
the connections Of the machine are
changed. The latter effect is usually
not considered. but it is essential to
take it into account. a machine could
not be built. in the first place. unless
it was capabl.: of dissertation. In some
machines-locNs, for i~nstance-the parts
are dissociatei every time the appa-
ratus operates 1t is desirable to de-
sign most machines, however, so that
the associative effects do not come in
to play during their operation.

he collapsed entirely.

Beware Of the Cold Bath.

The cold bath in the morning is not
SO popular as it was formerly. There
is much energy expended in the re-
action and just at the time Of day
when this energy is at its lowest ebb.
Then, too, cold water has very little
cleansing effect. Very hot water
stimulates the nerves, which is the eff
feet that we are seeking from the cold
water. while it does not demand the
energy Of reaction of the latter. The
duration of the morning bath should
hc as short as possible-hardly longer
than the mere application of the water
to the skin. followed by a brisk rub
bling. However, many prefer a cool
sponge bath in the morning, and if
this is followed by a warm glow and a
feeling of well being it certainly is
beneficial. Many people are not strong
enough to react well. A hot bath at
night is most cleansing and restful.
General bathing must be regulated by
individual peculiarities. = Emma E.
Walker, NJ. d., in Ladies' Home Jour-

The Necessity of Salt.

Although in treaties on dietetics salt
figures as a condiment, it is universally
recognized to be something more; in
deed it is an Indispensable element of
the food Of man and animals A well
known authority asserts, says The
Medical Press and Circular, that when
ever the ANIMAL consumption Of salt
falls below twenty pounds per head OF
population the public health Is likely
to suffer. The deprivation of salt does
not produce a definite disease. but re-
duces the vitality Of the organism as a
whole, SO that the victims Of admins
trative measures which restrict the
consumption of salt more readily fall
prey to prevailing epidemics. as well
as to endemic maladies.

Colonization of Migrants and other

which is carved the Austrian coat of

the city was called San Fernando de
Austria in honor of the union of the
royal families of Austria and Spain.
Near the keystone, firmly fastened in
the wall. is a heavy iron ring to
which the spurred and belted knight
of Spain hitched his praucing steed
while he looked after the affairs OF
the Spanish military establishment.
As there are only few of the old Hat
rooted stone buildings left the Vera
mendi palace is considered of especial
interest. 1t is situated on Solidad
street, and has linked with its past
some historic associations. 1t has
also to some extent been modernized,
but you can step inside the ample
doorway and find yourself upon his
toric ground. On these iron pivots
these heavy paneled doors have swung
for more than one hundred years.
They are perforated with bullet holes
made at the storming of San Antonio
in Decem Der. 1885, by the Americans
under Col Milan, who fell just inside
the archway at the monument when
victory perched on his banner. Here
is where Gov. Veramendi lived; here
where Bowie, who fell in the Alamo,
married the pretty daughter of this
same Spanish governor. On the same
spot also Deaf Smith, the famous
Texas scout, killed the Mexican senti-
mel that led TO the American capture
of San Antonio.

tonic has one of gastronomic charac-
ter that is indeed worthy of mention.
In rough stall near a busy street is
the shrine of lovers of good beefsteak.
1t is presided over by an old fellow
who has cooked for three Mexican
presidents and one emperor of Mexico.
He certainly serves the finest
beefsteak that man ever tasted, and
his method of preparing it is s. cret.
Those who are in position to
know, say it is not the steak itself,
but in the cooking. The old fellow
has impaired his secret to no one and
will not sell it. He says he would
rather leave it to his children than to
leave them money. The cooking is
done on an old cook stove. The fuel
used is the wood of the Mesquite
bush, this gastronomic wizard Claim
ing that any other wood spoils the
meat The hot Goals are first raked out
into the apron of the stove, and after
the gridiron has been placed upon them
to suit, he treats the steak with some
mixture in can that makes it swell
to almost double it's size. Whatever
this mixture is, he does not tell, but
the results are enough to make one
wish that his steaks could always be
eaten there. Nor does this strange
man overdo his work. He only pre-
pares certain number of steaks each
day, and when that number has been
reached he closes up and goes home.
He seems bound that business in his
line shall not be overdone. While on
the subject of meat it might be of in
terest to note that the claim is made for
Texas that il has more drinking and
less drunke mess, more churches and
less religion, and more cattle and less
meat than any other state in the
union. ). J. L.
