The ONLY Victims

West Africa is known to all riaviga-
tors for its few harbors and it's heavy
surf, which at certain seasons RACES
like battle, defying the white man
who would approach its. shores The
author of "The Jungle Folk of Africa +,
MIR. r. H. Milligan, tells of a success
full, and to the observers an amusing
effort to reach shore at a point where
the surf did not seem to be impossible.
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain and
the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure of their landing to a small
but enthusiastic audience. He said that
after waiting outside the surf half an
hour the headman suddenly gave the
order, and in moment they were in
the breakers, riding on the top of one
OF them and speeding toward the shore
at the rate of Seventy miles an hour"
The captain was in the bow of the
boat, we'll braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force Of railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom, whom
he clasped about the neck with steel
like grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled it upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor to a perfectly safe distance,
where they sprawled upon the sand.
The doctor, still shugging the captains
neck and very much frightened, ex-
claimed:
ooh, captain, dear captain, is there
anybody killed but you and me?"

Doctor Donelan's Don',s

Don't breathe through your mouth.
The nose is the natural organ for breath
ing. The air becomes modified before
it gets to the lungs, where if you breathe
through the mouth it goes direct to the
lungs and may produce catarrh, ton
silitis or pneumonia.
Don't read in bed with light burn
ing, as the light burns up all the oxygen
and renders the air very impure, The
blood and nerves require plenty of oxy-
gen to keep them in a healthy condi-
ton.
Don't sleep over damp cellar with
decomposing articles in it, as it will
surely produce sickness.
b. Don't sleep in room that has not
been thoroughly aired and the dust re-
moved. The sunlight destroys the
germs. Rooms should have plenty of
air at night. If you sleep in cold
room you are not so liable to take cold
when you go out. ~. s"& :,
Don't read with a poor light, as it will
impair your eyesight. Don't face a
glazing light. Have it to your back or
side.
!. Don't be an idler. Have something to
do and aim to do it well. Don't take
your troubles to bed With you and don't
take them up in the morning. Live to
do good; try to make those around you
happy, and in doing SO make yourself
happy.

Important Mining Decision

Judge Somers of Goldfield has handed
down a decision of special Importance
to'those engaged in mining. A non
,ssident owner Of four mining claims at
Goldfeid sent local contractor the
sum of $500 to do the assessment work
ON them. The claims were subsequently
jumped, the jumpers alleging that the
quantity Of work done by the contractor
on each claim did not represent 800
worth of work as the law requires.
Judge Somers decided that inasnuch
as then Per had sent the full amount
requiredt to be expended and had there
by shown his good faith, the court
would not enter into the question of
whether the work actually performed
by the contractor was strictly sufficient
but held that the nonresident owner
was entitled to possession.

sene More Laws t. ), Watched

The Tonopah Banana says that
several laws were passed by the recent
legislature, the character of which is
not generally known. Among the more
important bills that went through as
slick as whistle was that pertaining to
state board of embalmers.
It provides that the governor shall
name the three members of the board
and that every person wishing to prac-
tice the profession of embalming shall
appear before the board, pay fee not to
exceed SO, and take an examination in
embalming, disinfection, etc. Any one
practicing without having a license
from the state board shall be fined from
$25 to $500. Holders of licenses from
other states need not take the examina-
ton. RI. .... ..'.. .. -... ...,...... e.
Another law says that the period of
employment of any one in q mill or
other institution wherein. plaster ,or
cement is manufactured. shall not ex-
coed eight hours out of twenty four for
men working in open-pit or open-cut
mines, except in case of emergency
whsre life or property is in imminent
danger. A fine of 800 to $500 attaches.
- A new law not generally known
provides that any person or firm using
autos for hire shall pay the sheriff
$3.50 month or be subject to a fine
of from. 500, to 500, or sixty days in
Jail. ."@
OF interest to railroad corporations is
the new law providing that no railroad
company shall operate in this state a
train, either passenger or freight, with
less than full train crew, consisting
OF not less than six persons, one con-
ductor, one engineer, one fireman, two
brakemen and one fagman. The flag
man is to have at least one years
experience in train service. A fine of
from 800 to $500 applies.
If you, Mr.. Man, don't provide for
your wife and family in this state you
are guilty of misdemeanor and may
be sent to the county Jail for period of
six months, provided the county com
missioners may exact bond from you
to compel you to do your duty In all
prosecutions under the act wife shall
be competent witness against her
husband, with or without his consent.
| OF interest to parents is the new
truancy law. This says that any parent
or person having control of child be-
tween the ages of and 16 years of age,
Shall see that such child is sent to
School during full term. A child
absent from school three times is a
truant,, and if such child be declared a
truant three times during the school
4 year the law says that it is case of
habitual truancy, and the parent or
guardian may be fined, or even
imprisoned. 49,. ......
