For Use In the Sick Room.

One Of the greatest trials in caring
for sick person who is so utterly
helpless that he cannot change the po-
sition of the body is the changing OF
the bed linen, when help is necessary
in lifting the sufferer while the CLOTH
ing is removed from the bed and re-
placed with fresh sheets. The appar-
atus, recently designed by a German
inventor and shown in the illustration.
would greatly tighten the labor as
well as add to the patients comfort.
This device is nothing less than q
windlass, designed to raise the body
from the bed and hold it in suspension
until the change has been completed.
1t consists of an arched steel frame
stretching from the head to the foot
of the bed, and supporting between
its parallel members three rollers and
a winding drum. The latter is geared
to crank shaft, and is provided with
a ratchet, which prevents backward

Bridge of Fish.

The salmon are so thick in the
mouth of Mill creek just below the
government fishery racks, says Red
ding dispatch to the San Francisco
Call, that they are seen right up to
the surface of the water, and so close
ly packed together that a person look
ing upon the mass would feel that he
could cross the creek dry shod by
stepping on the backs of the fish as
they appear above the water. They
are crowded up by the mass which
extends down to the bottom Of the
stream.
At the fishery the fish can be secur-
ed in greater quantities than they can
be handled, and the hatchery is run
ming at its full capacity. Some days
as many as 100000 eggs are secured.
People from the southern part of the
county go to the hatchery for the fish,
which are given away after the spawn
ing operation. Many millions Of young
salmon will be Matched this season.
as operations have been under way
for some time and may continue for
some time longer II the river does
not rise too high.

ais There Any Money In It2"
3old is what we all are wishing,

Gold is what we all are wishing,
And for which we're ever fishing;
There is hardly anything we will not I'M
dertake to win 1t.
You can get our whole attention
II you only chance to mention
Some clever speculation that has got the
money in 1t.
The lawyer and the teacher
And-we hate to say it-preacher,
Are never quite so busy but they'll spare
little minute
To listen to the offer
That will fill the private Golfer,
They're sure to answer to the call that
has the money in 1t.
Even Cupid. It's asserted,
Is by love Of gold perverted,
And whene'er he find tender heart be-
fore he seeks to win it,
With sly and roguish glances,
Always ask about finances;
He really doesn't care to wed unless
there's money in 1t.
And they say the politician
Figures every proposition
And sets his price on everything before
he will begin it;
It is not his real vocation
BY his deeds to save the nation
Unless, perchance, it happens there is
lots of money in 1t.
A man, so runs the story,
Who, without the gates Of glory
When told of inner bliss and urged to
enter and begin 1t,
Said, I'm a three-per center
So guess l will not enter
For as near as can ascertain there amt
no money in it."

SUGAR AS A STiMULANT.
Physical Culture Teacher Advises Its
Liberal Use.

Liberal Use.
One Of the numerous physical cul.
ture teachers up town departs from
the faith of trainers in advising his
pupils to eat all the sugar they can
get, says the New York Press. Either
in taking off flesh or in putting on
flesh his advice Is to make sugar, in
some form or other, a liberal part of
the daily diet At the Madison Square
Garden physical culture show next
month he intends to exhibit two or
three pupils to substantiate the eff.
cacy Of his methods.
Sugar is very powerful stimulant
and great producer of nerve force"
he said. 81 spent two winters in the
Klondike, where the miners eat enor-
nous quantities of sugar and mo-
lasses. They even sweeten salt pork
with it. Men who simply soak them.
selves in sweets do twice the work
of men who let sugar alone. Swiss
mountaineers always carry a liberal
supply of sugar in their kits. Ne
groes in the harvest fields grow fat
on sugar cane.
'In hot or cold climates a liberal
diet of sugar will put man in the
finest possible condition. Whatever
bad effects sugar may have at first
are soon remedied by exercise. 1t has
been a fad for two or three years to
howl against the use of sugar, but
there is no sound physiological reason
for it."

tie inmates, and all were killed. To
kong saved three heads, which they
carried back with them. When they
arrived at the river they found that
their boats had already been launched
and were ready for departure. All
through the journey to their home diff
f1culties were removed as by unseen
hands The three heads were given a
pace of honor in the house, and be-
cause of them many difficulties and
troubles departed. Since that time
the Kyans have always been prosper
GUS and happy because they have
brought home the heads of their enc
mics slain in battle. While the le-
gend of the origin of beheading given
me By an old Igorrote is not so clear
az the above, there is such strong
similarity as to convince me that hun
dreds of years ago they were the same.
The government Of the Igorrotes is
patriarchal. They live in rancherias
Of from fifty to one hundred inhabit-
ants, and are governed by a chief and
the old men. They have no tribal re-
lations, and regard all outside their
rancheria as enemies. Their houses
are rudely constructed Of bamboo and
matched with leaves of the nipa palm.
They are monogynists, and are affec.
tomato to their children. They sub
siSt on roots and herbs, the fruits Of
the chase, the product of small fields
of rice and camotes (sweet potatoes),
and such plumber as they can pillage
from their neighbors. Among them
dogs are considered great delicacy,
and many of these animals are raised
for food. Their weapons are print
tive, and consist Of bow and arrow,
spears and knives and bolos of various
sizes and shapes. For clothing the
men wear only band of narrow cloth
about the loins, and the women a
garment that reaches from the waist
tc the knee.

Capable Of Throwing an Animal.
invention of this nature presented in
the accompanying drawing, enabling
even a person who has little muscu.
lar strength to apply sufficient force
to the bit to throw the animal, II
necessary, to prevent damage from
runaway.
AS shown. the apparatus Is secured
to the rear axle, in conjunction with
the inner end of the hub, and is so
pivoted in its supporting brackets that
a pull of the lever which controls its
action will depress a roller against
the hub and rotate reel to wind up
the cord leading to the animals
mouth. The result will be to pull the
head downward between the forelegs.
and If the check be applied with the
horse at full gallop it is likely to re-
suit in a sudden stop, which will take
all desire to run away out of the horse
before it has been used many times.

and George L. Kollock of Seattle,

they can take. For taking game they
use bows and arrows, the latter poi
soned with the juice of tree prepared
in accordance with formula known
only to themselves. A wound from
one OF these arrows Is Immediately ia

MA poisoning. Their dialect consists
of only few words. They run softly,
with the speed of deer, and climb
trees with great agility, placing the

Elements on the coast, the Spaniards
found it impossible to civilize them.
Many centuries ago the invaders
came to the island, but when or who
were the first is unknown, but it Is
told among the Tagals, the now domin-
ant race, that for long time their
ancestors paid tribute to the Negritos,
or, failing, the little people would in
overwhelming numbers attack the re.
bellious village, and after killing the
inhabitants with poisoned arrows,
carry off all portable property. In the
course of time the tribes of larger
men, many of whom came from the
Malay archipelago, overran the island
and drove the little people back to
those parts that were saIe because of
their inaccessibility. The invaders
consisted of those now known as the
Christian tribes, the Tagals, the Ilo-
canos, the Pampangas, the Maccabee-
hes and the more or less savage tribes
CT Igorrotes, Gaddanes, Itavis and Tin
guanes. The Igorrotes and Tinguanes
are the head hunters. The Gaddanes,
the most savage tribe in the island,
take only scalps.
Among the Igorrotes is recited le-
gend very similar to that of Tokong.

On the particular night of which

Of a cabinet which stood beside my
