Away with the currycombl

Still another humane movement In
Syracuse which has the distinction of
being unique originated with the SYRIA
cuse fire department the chief Of
which, John P. Quigley, some months
ago sent out an order by which he
abolished the use Of currycombs In his
department and expressed himself
thoroughly convinced that the curry
comb in the hands Of the average man
Is an instrument of torture to the
horse. The shingling Of the foretop
OF horses Is also ordered to be dis
pensed with, the foretop and name OF
horses being now allowed to grow. As
a substitute for the currycomb Chief
Quigiey recommended the use Of fibre
cloth or nbre brush. Vogue. r. ~.

animals, ENDURANCE In watsr.


The polar bear carries the blue
ribbon on long distance swimming.
He spends much of his time in tho
water. Journeying across polar wastes
from continent to continent, his body
is immersed in freezing water, which
is the greatest detriment to man in
lnog distance swims. If one member
of a family is good swimmer It may
be taken for granted that all the rest
of the family are. Several animals,
as hedgehogs, rats. etc, who would at
first glance be considered bad per-
formers in the water, are in reality
fairly respectable swimmers.
When forcibly thrown into water
squirrels are first evidently alarmed
at the thought of trusting themselves
to so treacherous an element, and at
starting some of them will spring into
the air as If inclined rather to fly
than to swim, but once we'll afioat
they paddle away with such rapidity
as to exhaust themselves in few
minutes. In this action the head and
shoulders are carried very high out of
the water, while the rest of the body
sinks deep beneath the surface, in
direct contrast to the pose of hares
and rabbits, which In swimming are
like an Ill ba1lasted ship, down by
the head" Like the squirrel, these
two animals show great timidity in
the water, and naturally so, for their
head is so low and stern so high that
the slightest ripple on the surface
sends their noses under water and so
browns them. In perfectly still water
both can swim considerable distances.
The ruminant family all take freely
to the water except the wild sheep
and the camels. OF pigs 1t is com.
monty reported that 80 queerly fash
toned are they that IL they attempt to
swim they cut their throats with the
fore feet, but this is only an old
wife's fable. Whether wild or tame,
they are all good swimmers, but
owing to the shortness of their legs
they just touch their Threats with
their fore feet and beat the water
very high. Many Of the islands of the
southern seas are now inhabited by
wild pigs which are the descendants
of those who have swum ashore some
times great distances from wrecked
vessels. Camels cannot swim. They
are buoyant but i'll balanced, and their
heads go into the water. They can
however, be taught to swim rivers
with the aid of goat skins Nor. Jars
fastened under their necks. During
the Beloochistan expedition of 1898
the camels were lowered into the
sea from the ships, and their drivers
plunging overheard clambered on theft
charges, causing the animals heads
TO come up, and thus assisted they
were successfully piloted ashore.

WHAT CALIFORNIA HAS poaN.
States Billion and a Hail Yield In
j. Gold Altered History Of World.

IL
when, in 1850, California, peopled by
the gold thrush from the four quar-
tiers Of the globe, knocked for admls-
sion as a state before the politicians
in washington had time to organize it
as a territory, it precipitated the sec
ton contest in congress which melted
the Clay compromise of that year
the last Of the concessions and deals
ever arranged between the North and
the South, says Leslie's Weekly. Sep
TENDER 8, the date Of CALIFORNIA; adj.
mission in 1850, has been celebrated
by her every year since that time.
It is great national, however, as
well as state, landmark.
The California gold discovery OF
1S4S swung civilization's advance line,
then at the Missouri river, as far
westward in a single year as 1t had
moved in all the previous 240 years
since Newport, Gosnold and Capt.
John Smith established their settle
ment at Jamestown. Va. 1t drew the
center of the country's political gray.
fly far into the Mississippi valley,
made the west the dominant section
socially and politically, gave the FREQ
states the preponderance which ena-
bled them to preserve the Union when
war came a dozen years later, and ex-
erted an influence on United States
history ana development which will
be felt while the country remains on
the roll Of the nations.
On world history California has had
a profound sway. It's gold discoveries
threw so much of the nations great
money metal into trade channels
within half dozen years that it gave
a new impulse to industry and COM
merce on every continent, immedi-
ately to the United States, melted that
search for gold all over the earth
which resulted IN the discoveries in
Australia in 1851 by Hargreaves, a re-
turned Californian; in Comstock's
find in Nevada, in 1858, OF the world
famed lode, chiefly silver, which bore
his name; in the locating of the gold
and silver deposits Of Pixies Peak in
1859, and Montana in 1863, which
peopled all these localities. and in the
discovery in 1884 on the Rand, In
South Africa, of the field which has
since developed into the greatest gold
producer on the globe.
From Marshall's time TO today Calf
fornia has added $1,000, 100000 to the
worlds gold stock. -.

Tongue Holsters That
Have Become Classics

Some time ago there appeared in the
British comic journal Punch, parttcu-
larry effective tongue twister, which
ran something to this effect:
A lady was walking down country
lane when she met a tinker. "Ah," she
said. Il see you are copper-bottoming
your pots "Oh, no." ne replied, I'm
Aiuminiuming EN-, num-" AS tongue
twister this is pretty hard to get,
though perhaps the American form Of
the words is just trlfe more difficult
to wrap ones tongue around: I'm
aluminuming EN-, num-"
There are, of course, many thou
sands of these traps for the unwary
floating about. Here are a few The
test is, not merely to say them, but to
manage to repeat them quickly, say
half a dozen times without getting
ones tongue tied up in knot.
The sea ceaseth and 1t sufficeth US.

wAKgN YOUR SLEEPY FOOT.
Spraned Ankle Followed Numbness
to Foot of George Wright.

Sprained Ankle Followed Nunbness
to Foot of George Wright.
1t is not well to let your feet sleep.
Whenever you experience that pecu-
liar numbness in the lower extremities
that presages a little nap for them,
take vigorous methods at once to bring
them back to wakefulness. If you
do not you may regret your omission,
as a young man from Syracuse who
has been stopping in this city now
does.
The young man is George l..
Wright, son of chief of Police Wright
of Syracuse. He came to the city to
start work as chairman on the sur
vey of the line of the proposed barge
canal, and with a friend went to the
Majestic last evening. During the pro-
gress of the play he sat with one foot
resting across the other leg. When
the curtain fell at the end of the final
act, he arose to go out with his friend.
AS the foot was placed on the floor
and received the weight of his body
be felt sharp pain and had to sit down.
He was assisted out, and DR.. Douglas
was seen. He gave the information
that the tendons OF the foot and ankle
were badly sprained and he would be
incapacitated from work for some
time.-Utica Observer.

nlraa Lead Strenuous Lives.

Love OF home is one of the U1any
loves that the birds have in common
with ourselves, and an ovorpowering
instinct is implanted in them that be-
fore the mating season leads them
back to the places where they were
reared. Possibly you have considered
birds as airy beings who sing and
feat about among the cool Summer
trees, living at ease on the fat of the
land, and have enyied them their
freedom alike from work and care.
This idea will vanish as soon as you
can call a dozen birds intimately by
name and watch their choice of a
home site, their exquisite skill in nest
weaving, and their untiring labor in
supplying the young with food until
they are able to take wing for them
selves. No matter what the staple
food of the grown birds may be, ber-
ries, seeds or animal matter. accord
ing 20 family, the young Of all sorts
are fed upon the most highly nutri-
tious animal food that parent can OBJ
tain, so rapid is their growth to fit
them to be self-supporting, and thus
make their parents free for the care
OF other broods. A human parent is
not expected to feed a baby oftener
than once in two hours, but the par
ent birds hardly cease from rise until
