The fish commission in San Francisco is
frequently in receipt of ridiculous commu-
ncations frome people of the interior who
have vague ideas Of the functions of the bu-
reau, says a local exchange. A retired
merchant from one of the hill towns, de-
string to devote his spare tine to the study
! Of zoology, sent the following letter of
inquiry to Prof Charles A. Vogelsang:
Il am interested in natural history and
want to get hold of dear for scientific
purposes. Do you know where can buy
one? If so, get a good one and express it
in a box 6. o. d., together with permit
for keeping same. One of the common
rarieties, will do. : will pay all ex-
penses."
After bordering over the communication
for some time Herr Vogelsang dispatched
the following reply:
bears of all kinds are abundant in this
neck OF the woods, and if you are not par
ticular as to color or breed | can easily
comply with your request. Most of them
would object however, to being sent in
box by express. If you will agree to assume
fhe cost OF perpetual maintenance, will
promise to send on a dear who will be use

Inc first symptom of cattle distem-

throat, especially the throat glands

mais than older ones, but may attack
cattle at any age. The swelling comes
suddenly, often within "a hours, and
Is generally severe. 1t is preceded by
discharges from the eyes and nose,
accompanied with some fever. The
swelling gradually increases in size
until an abscess containing thick yell
low pus forms. Often two or three
of these assesses form about the
throat, on the side of the head, or
along on the jaw. The distemper APP

narily by rubbing the parts thorough
ly two or three times daily with lini-
ment made with equal parts of tur-
pentine, kerosene oil and alcoholic
tincture of camphor. This rubbing
should be kept up faithfully until the
swelling Is entirely scattered. If,
however, the swelling progresses too
far, and assesses form, they should
be opened with lancet, and the open

Followed Directions.

A clergyman in New Jersey hired man
to- act in the capacity of coachman and
gardener. One day the clergyman bought
bottle Of horse ointment, and told the
man to apply it to- lame horse, according
to the directions on the bottle
About an hour afterward he went to
the barn, and found Silas industriously dip
ping a spike into the liniment and then
rubbing it against the horses leg.
What are you doing that for?" he
asked.
The man looked up with smile Of assur-
ance.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
old Bones, Alum, Flint and suIphuric
Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
licited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
Suowder and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme OF
some baking powder manufacturer to
get new brand on the market by Offer
Ing the grocer large profit. House.
keepers are not usually much benefited
BY such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are we'll known to be detrimental to
Health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed Of
sharp-pointed grains of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get a brand we'll known
to be made of cream of tartar. which is
a healthful product of the grape.
