During seven months of last year
California must have had a tourist in
come Of not less than eight millions
OF dollars. Here are the Argonaut's
figures of immigration. THE month in
which the largest immigration took
place was November, when no less than
1920 persons entered this State over
S. p. lines. The table also shows a
general, though irregular, increase
during the entire year. The figures
for April for example, were $3.50; for
May, 500; for October. IL 800. About
twice as many people came by way of
Ogden as by way of Ell Paso During
the period February 15th-June 18th
-four months) the total number of i'm
migrants was 44,136; during the period.
September 15th-December 18th (three
months) the figures were S9,7S7, making
a total for, seven months of S3,923 per-

had much politics, and many would
about as soon be on one side as the
other; would be Democrat as easily
as Republican. 1t is exceedingly
hard to keep them in any party long

fundamental doctrines. They are usu-

COMPARES TWO SYSTEMS.
It Takes Three and One Third Times
 as Long to Write the Roman .rc r ;sa.. A Numerals.


 Moved by the apparent loss of time and increase of errors caused by the traditional use of Roman numerals in designating volumes In photographic references, Dr. R. M. Yerkes, of Harvard, has submitted the matter to a simple scientific test. Choosing ten well-edu- cated persons, he determined for each the time required for writing and for reading the Roman and the Arabic nu- morals from to 100, and also the rela- tive number of errors committed. His conclusion Is, says Youths Companion, that 1t takes three and one-third times as long to write the Roman numerals as the Arabic, and the chance of error is 21 times as great It takes three times as long to read them, and the chance of error is eight times asgreat. An illus tration is the number 8s, which in Roman style Is. LXXXVIII. In the In- ternational catalogue of scientific lit 4rature the volume numbers are printed an heavy-faced Arabic type.

sinsular instance of Tenacitv

A singular instance of tenacity in the digestion ofzhsh is reported from Shelf field, England. The fish, a ling four feet. long, had what appeared to be an abnormally hard liver But the cutting up process revealed something far stranger. The supposed hard liver turned ,out to be piece of stout netting over two yards long and IA inches wide, which had been pressed into the form of football How this mass came to be swallowed is a mystery. It was sug- gested that the fish, caught in the tolls of tisherman's net, had tried to escape by devouring his prison walls.

HAREs AND RABBITS DIFFER
Former Has Longer Hind Legs, Makes Greater Leaps and Is
 Nomad.

The hare is camper-out On being alarmed, rabbits scuttle back to their burrows, says the Detroit News-Trib- une, and are below ground in a mo ment, but the hare is practically home less. It passes most of the day in what is called its form" mere depres- sion in the open field, which a towns man might pass over without thinking that 1t was anything in particular, and feeds at night, A view of the hare does not give the same impression of white as that, received when the rabbit is in flight, for the tail of the hare is black on top and not always held up. But the heetness and length of the hind 1egs of the hare and it's leaping pace in such contrast with the tun- bling run of the rabbit are things which most clearly mark "puss'' from bunny in the flight The length of the hind legs is so great that the hare has difficulty in making a straight course downhill. flares are not only good runners, but goodswimmers Rab- bits will enter the water when pressed hard, but do not like a wetting.

.LIcoRlcE GROWS WILD.
Sailor Tells of Country in Which the Root Flourishes Without
 Any Care.

A bundle of licorice root-slim, round sticks of tobacco-brown Wood-lay on the counter and the sailor took one up and began to chew it's end.
 ''I have seen the place where this stuff grows wild," he said. Do you know where that place is, Cad ?'
 Cant say dc" replied the druggist,
 ''It is along the banks said the sail- or, "of the, Tigris and the Euphrates. The licorice is 8 wild plant in them parts. For miles and miles the lco- rice patches spread, and the smell of them fills the air. It is 8 sweet, heavy smell.
 ''In them parts they cut the licorice plants regularly, and they use the poor, crooked, imperfect sticks for arewood. The good, clean, straight sticks they bundle up-just like this bundle here and ship to England and America. Some of the sticks go to druggists, to be sold cheap or given away, but most of them, nearly all of them, go to the snuff and tobacco manufacturers. What for? Why. to be used in adulter-T mean in davoring, tobacco and snuff. ;

TOBACCO A GOOD PoULTlcE
sprain of the Ankle Cured by Brief Application of Little-Known
 Remedy.

Last summer was taking spin one day in light trap out in the country. and in attempting to pass a farmers overturned and was thrown heavily to the ground, sustaining badly sprained ankle" George Maxwell says, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "The farmer came running up to assist me, and when he found what was the matter returned to his wagon and came back with a few tobacco leaves under his arm. If you'll let me make 8 poultice out of these and place it on your ankle it will be all right in the morning., he said,s and as I was about five miles from a doctors office, I told him to go ahead. It couldn't do me any harm, thought, and is might have a slightly cooling ef- feet while I was driving back to town. He dipped the leaves in the water of a creek neaS by, then bound them tightly around my ankle, with the aid of a handkerchief, and assisted me into my vehicle When reached my rooms was surprised to find that the pain in my ankle was much lessened, and decided to give the poultice a fair trial. Tn the morning when awoke there was ab- so1utely no pain in my ankle whatever! and only the slightest suggestion of 8 swelling. I was able to don my shoes without trouble and that day attended to business as if nothing had befallen me. Since then one of my friends suf- fered a sprain and consented to have 8 leaf tobacco poultice applied, which re- suited in his case just as it did in mine. have also tried 1t in other instances Of slight injury, where there was pain and danger of swelling, and have found that invariably it relieved the pain within a remarkably short space of time, and generally prevented any swelling. A friend of mine claims to have tried 1t with good results for slight attack of rheumatism, and have no doubt that 1t actually did what he claims for 1t. but, at any rate, for sprains or similar injuries. am now firm advocate of the simple, homely remedy to which was introduced by my accident in the country a few months ago.

LADY DOCTORS FOR cRAzED
German Specialist Advocates Women Physicians in Hospitals.
 for Lunatics.

One of the most famous German physicians for the treatment of mental diseases, Prof. Ludwig, Is earnestly ad- voeating the employment of women physicians in lunatic asylums. After years of investigation he has come to the conclusion that the insane are pe- culiarly susceptible to a woman's pres ence and influence, not only the women, but the men as we'll. He says he has been instrumental in obtaining the ad- mission of one woman physician to an Asylum for women in south Germany, and the results are simply phenomenal. The women are more tractab1e, and in the cases where mental disease is the result of sexual trouble the woman doc- tor works wonders. Ludwig is certain that in short time no men physicians will be employed in female lunatic asy- lums His opinion is supported in large measure by another eminent authority, pr. Krapelin. hsssa. 1
