Of Joseph A. Settle, the District assessor.
Mr.. H. H Darneille, has recommended

said to have been transferred from Settle
to Mr.. Lewis April g 1885, but was not en-
tered on the records of the assessors office
until January, 1887, the custom then being
to make transfers on the records each year

served on the then owner, as required by
law.

NERVOUS FUNCTIONS.
THE SENSES.
1.-THE Last Paper.l

lHo LdSt IdpcIsJ
The senses are five in number,
to-wit, general sensibility, smell,
taste, sight and hearing. The
sense Of touch gives knowledge OF
such qualities as hardness, rough
ness, sharpness, etc.; by it we be-
come acquainted with the shape
and consistency of objects.
Some conception Of the multi
tude Of distinct and separate nerves
which underly the skin may be
derived from the following expert
ment: =.
Press firmly upon a sensitive
nerve until the part to which it is
distributed is almost devoid of the
sense Of touch, when it will be
found that the sense of tempera-
ture is unaffected. And you will also.
notice that when the stimuli that
call out the sense Of touch or of
temperature are excessive, the
sense of pain is produced, and
when produced the other sensa-
tons are abolished. The sense of
smell is produced by the olfactory
nerves.
The sense Of taste is difficult to.
explain; a nerve which is a branch
of the fifth pair supplies one part
Of the tongue, and another called
the glossoypharyngeal supplies an
other portion. All substances
must be soluble or already in IL
quid form before there can be any
sense of taste.
The sense of sight and the Or
gans producing the same have
been the subject matter for many
volumes, so it will be impossible
to discuss it here. It is sufficient
to mention the optic nerve as the.
main nerve.
In the sense of hearing, sound
waves strike the membrane tym-
PAM, causing it to vibrate. These
waves are carried along until they
reach the hair-like nerves of the
auditory cells and from there they
pass to the nerves which carry the
impression to the brain, and sound
is produced.

the one who lives an imm oral life,
indulging his appetites without

physical suffering in course of
time. There are: he explained, ex-

The Thanksgiving Today bein g
Program Thank S G wi n g
Day, there will be no work in any
of the shops of this institution. In
the morning there will be the
usual holiday entertainment in the
chapel, followed by an hour Of
social intercourse in the dollhouse,
while the afternoon will be put in
the cells.
The chapel entertainment prom
ises to be an exceptionally good
one. 1t will consist of a perform
ance of ga Bosom Friend of
Bowser," by the Dalrymple Come
dy Co., which is showing at the
Saltwater opera house this week.
A number of new and catchy spe-
cialties will be introduced, and the
performance will be staged as we'll
as the limitations of the chapel
permit. There are fourteen play
ers in the company.
Steward Bordwell promises a
Thanksgiving dinner that will
make men reminiscent. He has
turkey enough to start a poultry
farm slowed away in the cellar,
and the appearance of some
healthy looking pumpkins indicate
pie. On the whole, the man who
fails to put in an agreeable
Thanksgiving must be dyspeptic.

STRUCK BY HIS DOG.

William Elvins stood before the
station at Hammonton, N. j., on
the West Jersey and Sanborn rail
road, setting his watch. His
faithful hound romped festively on
the tracks, occasionally searching
for feas and wagging his tail at
his master. Then an express train
rounded the curve and struck the
faithful hound, hurting him across
the double tracks. The animal
struck Elvins squarely in the back,
knocking him insensible on the
platform. He was removed to his
home and the doctors think he is
hurt internally.
The dog was unhurt, and showed
his regret over the occurrence by
licking his masters face.

HE CAUGHT THE TURNIP.
Jehan Bedini, an actor, bet a
Chicago friend that he could catch
turnip thrown from the roof of
Masonic Temple building on a
fork held between his teeth. The
wager was 81 900 and last Thurs
day was the day set for the trial.
The feat was accomplished in
the presence of a crowd which
filled the street on the west side Of
the Masonic temple. Bedini was
to have three trials, and the vege-
tables were wrapped tightly in
yarn to prevent their splitting into
a thousand pieces when they
struck solid substance.
When the turnips were hurled
from the top of the high building
Bedini danced about until he OBJ
tanned a position directly under
the swiftly falling object. The
first one missed his head by an
inch, thereby saving his features
from Disagreement. The second
landed upon the jointed projections
of a steel band worn about his
forehead, while the third landed
squarely upon the prongs of the
fork held firmly between his teeth.
Bedini staggered under the force
of the blow, but he declared soon
afterward that a headache and a
slight shock to his teeth were the
only bad results of his soonest with
the turnips.
MUST GET OUT AND HUSTLE.
Assisted by the government, the
Indians must become self-support-

sioner William A. Jones. Mr..
Jones proposes to make the Indian
independent and to accomplish
that end he would cut off the ra-
tions where it is practicable, allot
all reservation lands and throw the
surplus over to settlers, and make
the Indian children earn their edu-
cation as many of the white
children have to do. He also pro-
poses to stop the leasing of allot-
ments and to encourage the
selves.

A TOWN OFF ON ITS RECKONING.
The little town of Sweden, n.
Y, near Rochester, has been badly
mixed on it's dates of late. It all
happened through an almanac in
which the month of November
was printed from an old plate and
which was widely circulated in the
village. Stores were kept open on
Sunday and children went to
school on Saturday. One or two
residents of the town held out
against the dictates of the almanac
for few days, but the majority
proved too strong for them. On
Monday the people attended wor-
ship under the impression that it
was Sunday. Supervisor Sulphin
is authority for the statement that
on Sunday he and the Baptist
minister went fishing. He also
states that there we're several husk-
ing bees, winding up with big
dance on Sunday night.
Rochester newspapers received
numerous complaints from Sweden
subscribers on account Of the pa
pers being day late. The COM
plants were incomprehensible un-
til Sweden's supervisor went to
the city and explained the situa-
ton. He says it will take several
weeks to straighten the calendar
in the town.
DIDN T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED.
Alfred LOTHIAN, of Elkton, Nd,
is a timid young man and is very
beautiful. He always looks under
the bed for horrid men at night,
and the sight of mouse gives
him hysteria He abominates
snakes. One night last week he
was more nervous than usual and
so took loaded shotgun with him
when he went to bed. During the
night the gun got sore, or else
Lothian accidentally pulled the
trigger, and it went off, blowing
away the young mans big toe.
He says he didn't know it was
loaded.
ENLISTED MEN MADE OFFICERS.
Francis Martin and r. Soule,
former gunners, have been COM
missioned as ensigns in the navy
under the act Of the last congress
authorizing the selection of five
warrant officers for commission
ranks each year. They are the
first men not naval academy grad
yates appointed to the line of the
navy since the civil war and may
some day become rear admirals.
