SOME QUEER FRIENDSHIPS.
California Gives Instances Where Deer and Dogs Have Played
 and Run Together.

In the town of Oroville Cal.-now a notable gold-dredging eenter-where l live, I very recently saw a fawn, still in its spots, unconcernedly rambling about the main street; dogs that were in nowise accustomed to it went up, smelied it, as is their canine custom. and passed on The lawn was perfectly uneoncerned.
 Two years ago there was another deer, over half grown, in the same town, which had as it's companion and safe guard a large Newfoundland dog. These animals were often seen playing to- gether, and went downtown together at their own desire. On these trips the Newfoundland seemed, by instinct, to know that the deer was at the mercy of other dogs. and saw to it that no dog molested the deer. The family owning these two attractive animals has moved from Oroville, taking its in- teresting friends.
 Another nearly grown doe saw last year (adjoining the same town) stand ing in little creek with some cattle l was told that it came and went to pasturage and to milking (of course the deer was not milked), daily with the COWS. In 1897 l was at Eden Valley ranch for month. A wild. rough coun- try in Mendocino county Cal, environs this gem. Big and small game is abund- ant there. The wild cattle in the ''roughs" are the most interesting fea- lures there
 The cattle dogs, wild dogs, bear dogs and deer dogs are taught to attack and pursue tirelessly. The most exciting chase and fight I ever witnessed was be- tween these dogs and a great wild bear that succeeded in ripping two of the six of the largest and best-trained dogs. The bear was finally secured alive and dragged into the corral at the tail of a riatta snubbed to the horn of the saddle of the chief vaquero
 For a month l saw a male and female fawn move with perfect unconcern among these dogs, and all lap milk from the same trough (the fawn does not lap but drinks like pig. and drinks much like starved pig). It is laughable to see them pushing each other while gulp- ing milk. These dogs that ran off the mother doe were first to discover her young, but did not seize them. as they would have done the doe When strange dogs passing this ranch house on the road espied the fawns in the orchard or meadow they naturally went for" the lawns l expressed apprehension. but was told by the wife of the proprietor that the home dogs kept a sharp outlook for strange dogs. and always protected the lawns. I saw evidences there of this.

SOME FACTS ABOUT BIRDS
Auks and Penguins Cannot Fly, So They Live on the Coast and
 Build Nests in Caves.

Of all the odd birds that you see when you spend month in the mid- de of the summer at the sea shore, not one is so peculiar as those that live on the islands far out at sea. At the shore you will see birds that can dive and swim like fishes, but caI- not walk on land though the fly very well through the air-these are divers, looms and grebes, says the Los Angeles Times. You will see birds that run well on land, fly through the air easily. but cannot swim-they are the shore birds
 curlew. snipe and blower; you will see birds that can do all these things but prefer to remain out on the outlet water just beyond the surf, all day-these are the ducks and strange sea ducks called "mergansers;" and around the wharves you will see dignified birds that do all of these things with ease and that are

FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS
As Herein Instanced It Sometimes Results in Something Besides
 Qualification.

In a North Highland car the other day was a sweet-faced old lady who seemed the very personifcation of kindness, her black bonnet shading eyes that fairly beamed with cheerfulness. At Penn avenue young woman board ed the car and took a seat beside the elder, relates the Pittsburg Gazette.
 My. am so glad to see you, auntie," exclaimed the girlish-looking one, as she bestowed a kiss on her relative.
 From the conversation that followed gathered that the younger woman was bride of about two weeks She was ,hock full of news. and began to dilate on the glories of housekeeping. As she paused for moment the old laGy said:
 Now. Mary, let me give you little advice that may be helpful to you. When your Uncle George and were married. oh! so many years ago made he natural mistake of all women. began to apologize for my cooking Not hat it was really bad but just because wanted him to say that it was good.
 One cay l made some bread, and that evening when your uncle came home to supper-we called our even- iEg meal supper in those long-aeo days We were hardly seated at the table when I told him that the bread was not SO good as I had hoped it to be, and even fibbed by saying that the flour was not up to the stanadrd. All trough the meal I noticed that Uncle George gave his bread a wide berth. and by the time dessert was served felt so badly that l just broke down and cried.
 He asked me what was the matter, and 1 said: George, you haven't eaten )ny of my new bread.
 Well, Mary. you told me that it wasn't good, and l didn't want to eat bad bread. said he.
 After that I never fished for eompli ments. and as trusting husbands have lot changed bit in the last 50 years, wish, dear. that you would always re- member this little story. It may save many a heartache.'

Repartee in New York Assembly.

The bill making West Seneca, in Erie county, a city under the name of Lack awauna, which was passed in the as sembly, occasioned a bit of debate which was out of the ordinary.
 "The gentleman who has spoken in opposition to this bill" said MT. Cook. of Erie, referring to Assemblyman Cox, of Buffalo, ''is a pinhead.'
 "The gentleman who favors this bill" said MT. Cox, referring 10 MT. Cook. has vacuum where his brain ought to be"
 Then Assemblyman Lynch arose and said:
 "Mr Speaker 1t gives me great pleasure to find that, for the first ocea- sion since I have served in the legisla- lure with them, cad agree with both Mir Cox and MT. Cook. l agree with what MT. Cook said about Mir. Cox, and l indorse what MT. Cox said about MT. Cook"

Advances That Have Lately Been Made in the Investigation of Can-
 eer and Consumption.

Widespread attention has been direct ed to the distinct advances in the inves- tipation of the greatest scourges of hu- manity, consumption and cancer, which have been chronicled, says recent Lon don report.
 Thus the discoveries of Prof. Schroen, of Naples, as the result of l6 years study of the Hicrobe of phthisis, are Of far greater importance than pr. kech's in vestigation. He has been able to show, by means Of 16000 micro-photographic negatives and other evidences, that phthisis and tuberculosis are two en- tirely distinct diseases. The well known Koch bacillus is comparatively harm less.
 The phthisis microbe is in the form of spiral or twisted threads. It is parasite of enormous volume. rapid extension and unheard of virulence. Prof. Schroen demonstrates not only the germ itself, but its development down to the fourth secretive product, which is prism, while that of tuberculosis is rhomb.
 It was likewise discovered by him
  latter in approximation to diagnose a tu- bercuiar disease before the appearance of Rocks bacillus. The new phthisis microbe is of a nature heretofore un- known in tuberculosis. It can remain latent for years and is relatively curable, while phthisis is fatal.
 Further study and report of the cancer ip eh ment beyond the fact that there is no danger of infection. A false diagnosis, unhappily, is the explanation of most of the reported cures. Thus the Cancer Research institution examined this year ,7S6 cases which the medical faculty had pronounced to be cancer and found that 127 were mistaken cases, although there was every evidence of the disease accord ing to the tests available to ordinary physicians.
 The presence of the disease in the remotest corner of the earth and among all vertebrate animals tends to show that diet and the methods of modern life do not account for the disease While the committee is strongly of the opinion that the apparant increase of the scourge is due to closer and truer diagnosis, the only practical advice offered as the re- suit of the investigation thus far is that all growths which are even possibly can cerous should be removed by an opera tion without delay. The removal of the parasite furnishes the only hope of a cure, and every day it is suffered to re- main increases the probability of it's passage into some other portion of the body.

not in the least afraid Of you and your camera-and you know that they are gulls.
 But among all the many you will not see one that cannot fly, and by that you may know that they are all long way from their real homes, where they lay their eggs and hatch their young Some time in the early summer, for most sea irds nest later than the land birds, they will take wing and sail away to their island homes. not to return until they can bring with them family of young birds. Some of the birds will be left behind; they are the young ones of last year. not yet old enough to make homes of their own. For this reason they are always a few birds around the piers of every beach town during the summer months They gather up the scraps and refuse al time when all the rest of the scavengers are gone, and so perform as real a servlce as if they re mained on the mainland shore for that very reason.
 Since they can neither fly nor walk with any degree of comfort, the auks and penguins must have their nests near to the waters edge For the most part they nest in holes in the shelving shores of the islands. CT in natural caves among the rocks just above high-water mark. From these nests they can slip, if danger comes, into the friendly ocean without any trouble. though for the most part they ve quite willing 10 stay and face what ever turns up.
 Year after year they nest in these same localities, and the young birds grow up to find nesting places as near the parent birds as possible, so that the result is that there are thou sands of birds brs eding on one small corner of an island where, in other parts, there is room for twice as many, yet they will not for.ake the old places un- til overcrowding actually compels them to. In their nests they lay, usually, one egg though often two or more females quarrel over the same nest hole. and then there is as likely to be three CT four eggs as one in the nest Some times. when quarreling, two birds will get their beaks interlocked and both will fall into the sea. there to drown. unable to free themselves. each from the weight of the ether

AS EASY.
Needs Only a Little Thinking.

!. The food of childhood often decides ished and healthy or weak and siekly from improper food
 It's just as easy to be one as the oth- ST, provided we get proper start.
 A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can ac- eomplish wonders, provided the patient is willing to help and will eat only proper food
 Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four-year-old boy was suffer- ing from peculiar Arrangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step. We called Doctor who said at once we must be very careful as to his diet, as improper food was the only cause of his sickness. Sugar espe- cially, he forbid.
 "So the pr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things, took the Grape-Nuts readily without adding any sugar. Or.
  is not at all like cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grains.)
 We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are all most his only food and he is once more healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked young ster with every prospect to grow up into a strong healthy man" Name given by PostHm Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
