ANIMAL SWIM
The Squirrel Is Very Swift and the
Rabbit Is oddly Awkward.

Rabbit Is oddly Awkward
Almost all animals know how to
swim without having to learn it. As
soon as they fall into the water or are
driven into it they instinctively make
the proper motions and not only man
age to keep afloat, but propel them
selves without trouble.
Exceptions are the monkey, the cam
ell, giraffe and llama, which cannot
swim without assistance. Camels and
llamas have to be helped across water,
and giraffes and monkeys drown if
they enter it. Now and then both of
the latter species manage to cross wa
terways when they are driven to ex.
tremities, just as human beings occa-
s%ionally can keep themselves above wa
ter through sheer fright.
A funny though able swimmer IS the
rabbit. lie submerges his body with
the exception of head and tail. The
latter sticks away up into the air, and
his hind legs make soap suds" as he
churns the water madly to get away.
But with all his awkwardness he Is a
swift swimmer and is only beaten by
the squirrel among the land animals.
The squirrel swims with his heavy
tail sunk away down in the water and
his head held high. He cleaves the
waves like n duck, and a man in a row
boat has all he can do to keep abreast
of the swimming squirrel.
One thing that non of the land living
animals does is TO dive. No matter how
hard pressed a swimming deer, rabbit,
squirrel or other purely terrestrial ami
NAL may be it will remain above wa.
ter. But the muskrat, beaver, ice bear
and otter dive Immediately.

PLANT EVOLUTION.
Cultivation Hns Done Wonders Fol
Fruit and Vegetables.


Fruit and Vegetables.
There are few more wrongly named
things in the world than the Jerisa-
lem artichokc. In the first place il nev-
er came from Jerusalem at all. And in
the second it is not really an artichoke,
but a sunnower with its tubers devel-
oped by cultivation.
Cultivation has done wonders for
fruit and vegetables.
For instance, through its means
peaches. apricots and neetarines have
been developed from the almond, 10
which family all three fruits belong.
There is little apparent connection be-
tween the Wild crab of the hedgerows
and a Newtown pippin, but both are
members of the same genus. Indeed,
1t IS from this same wild crabapple
that the whole of the 7G0 odd existing
varieties of apples have been raised.
Technically speaking, too, the pear
is an apple. and SC are the medlar and
the mountain ash, which latter is not
an ash at all.
Is a turnip a cabbage? Yes, one va
riety at least Of it is. This is the queer
vegetable known as kohirabi, which,
although elassed by scientists among
the Brassica, or cabbage, family, has
huge roots just like n turnip.
The cucumber is really a fruit and
not Il vegetable. The same remark APP
plies to the tomato, which is really Il
fruit also.
Tie %gooseberry is 4 eurrant. II IS not
the least like 1t in either appearance or
flavor. yet both belong TO the same
family of Ribes.
The onion is a charming little flower,
its various species bearing white, vel
low, blue and rose eolored blossoms.
many produced in beautiful dropping
clusters. Originally the onion was Il
Towering plant, but the cultivation OF
certain Of its varieties has produced the
now world famous vegetable.

A silver Riddle.

English tram car companies use in
counting the money taken in what is
called a silver riddle Four or FIVE
frames are placed on the top of each
other, and a given quantity of mixed
silver is emptied in on to the topmost.
Shake the latter and all the pieces eX-

the florins, and thus the coins are even

DR.. H. H. Healy, secretary of
the state board of health, returned
recently from Mannhaven, where
he went to investigate a diptheria
epidemic. Dr.. Healy found that
in a Russian settlement there were
a large number of diptheria cases,
and as there was no county board
of health, the disease has been al
lowed to spread unchecked. A
county board of health was orga-
nized and the health Of the county
looked after. It behooves the
people of this county to look after
these matters, as it is at this season
of the year, when people are con.
fined more closely to their homes
that diseases like diptheria, gets in
its deadly work. All such cases
should be reported to the board Of
health, and they will take the nee.
essary steps te prevent a spread Of
the disease.

Many of them certainly do not ap-

pense of the steamship compa-

these immigrants comes from south

We have called attention to the
fact that you can't beat another
man at his own game, time and time
again in these columns. But il
seems that suckers are not all deaC
yet. A man passed through this
section recently working the ole
game of putting a fifty dollar bill
into a box, and having two Other
boxes of the same size and mixing
the three Together, allowing the vic.
tim his choice for ten dollars. As
one man stated, who was ap.
preached by the stranger with the
request to invest a ten, said that he
could see part of the bill sticking
out from under one of the boxes,
and he felt sure that he could have
picked out the right one, but not
having the ten with him he did not
invest. The game is an old one,
and we can remember when a boy,
one of these men approaching an
old farmer with this same game,
and the farmer got very indignant
at first but soon became interested
and wound up by taking ten dol
lars worth with the instruction not
to open the box until he got home.
The three boxes were placed out in
a row, and of course, the farmers
eye caught sight of the green pa
per sticking out from under one of
the boxes he took that one. The
stranger rapidly disappeared down
the road and the farmer proceeded
to examine his purchase. On open
ing the box he found piece of a
revenue stamp such as r used in
the stamping of cigars. The old
farmer was just about broke up in
business, the loss of his money and
also that he was one of the pillars
in the church and had been caught
trying to beat another man out of
his money. When one of those
smooth, oily tongued fellows comes
around and wants to give you a
chance to get fifty dollars for ten
just tell him that you are onto him
and don't want to buy. The chances
are that the operator used a con-
federate bill as it is not many of
this class of people that have a
fifty dollar bill. Just pass 'em up
and you will be money ahead.

The number of fires that have
occurred lately in the state brings
a realization that no town is safe
from such catastrophies, and too
much care cannot be taken to pre-
vent such losses. Now is the time
to figure on a w~aterworks system for
Washburn and with a little hus-
thing, a good system can be Sc
cured. It is very poor policy to
to lock the stable after the horse is
stolen, and it is just the same re-
garding a complete system of fire
protection. One big fire costs
more than two or three water sys-
TENS. The city has a chemical en-
CINE and other apparatus, but with
out a good supply of water it is al
most impossible to successfully
fight fires.
