BEFORE THEM,
Farmer Waggoner Presents Thred -Subjects to th® Board of Supervisors,
Hon. Thomas J. Waggoner, the farmer-lawyer of Penn Valley,appeared hefore the County Supervisors this afternoon to present a number of matters
in the interest of the people. .
He notified the Board that Charles
. Mamaugh, the poundmaster of Grass
Valley, had volunteered to put.up at
all cross roads in the county guideboards, provided the county would
furnish the material. Mr. Mamaugh
says that-he will make and paint as
well as put in place such boards without any compensation whatever,
Mr. Waggoner next.urged the Supervisors to ynite with the Supervisors of
Yaba county in buying a rock-crusher
to be used in preparing material for
the public roads, He says tha Yuba
county Board is willing {to go‘into the
partnership. He puts the cost of a
machine at $2,000. s ee
In the third place Mr. Waggoner
urged that the Board take steps to purchase at a fair price the Pet Hill toll
road, between Rough and Ready and
Smartsville. He says a free road into
Yuba county via Smartsville would be
of inestimable benefit to the farmers
of Rough and Ready township.
A Perfect Diagnosis.
Dr: George Fordyce, who came in
1762 from Edinburgh to London, very
speedily made himself a name by a
series of public lectures on medical science, which he afterward ‘published in
Aa volume entitled, “Elements of the
Practice of Physics,” which passed
. through many editions, Unforterately
he was given to drink, and, though he
hever was known to be dead drunk,
yet he was often in a state which
rendered him unfit for professional duties.
One night when he was in such a
condition he was suddenly sent for to
attend a lady of title who was very
ill. He went, sat down, listened to her
story aud felt her pulse. He found he
was not up to his work. He lost hiswits and in a moment of forgetfulness
exclaimed, “Drunk, by Jove!” 8till he
Managed to write out a mild prescription.
‘
Parly next morning he received a
message from his noble patient to call
‘on her at onee. Dr. Fordyce felt very
uncomfortable, The lady evidently intended to upbraid him either with an
improper prescription or with his disgraceful condition. But to his surPrise and-relief she thanked him for
his prompt compliance with her pressing summons and then confessed that
place it.
unfortunately she occasionally indulged too. freely in drink, but that she
hoped he would preserve inviolable seerecy. as to the conditiomhe had found
her-in. Fordyce listened to her grave
as a Judge and said: “You may depend
upon me, madam,
as the-grave,”—Gentleman’s Magazine,
Dangerous Trading,
Upon returning to camp we found
that John, the driver, had purchased a
load of pumpkins, which the native
men and women from the Mazoe valley had brought to the wagon to barter,

with dismay! We knew not the villages
whence the natives had come, nor
could we explain the mistake, as we
were ignorant of their language; and
before my scared mental vision rose
piles of dead Mashonas, pestilence and
war on the. whites—provided there remained enough live Mashonas to make
it.
Hence it was that before daylight
the next morning we left for the fort.
We made no nention of the matter to
any one. but a year later, when visiting the Mazoe valley, I inquired of
the natives if there had been any disease among them about the time when
the white nen arrived"n the country.
They said there had been an epidemic
of stomach aches, but, fortunately, no
one had died from it; so my conscience
was profoundly © relieved.—“oOn the
South African Frontier,”

Fresh milk is taken and curdied with

necessary consistency and solidity. sl
is then set aside, usually for some considerable time, to ripen, and during
this time great changes are subtly taking place in its substance; so that the .
eurd, which at first was an Uneataple
solid, becomes gradually transfornied
into a palatable cheese. aoe
Suitable external conditions, chief
among which is a groper temperature,
are, of course, necessary to bring this
ripening of the curd to a successful. issue, but the real reason of the transformation Is the presence of myriads
of bacteria; which find in the curd a
luxurious dwelling place, where they
can live and multiply. That fn ‘go living they must abstract foodstuffs from
the curd ‘around and give. out in turn

The Business Instinet,
Too many people are accustomed to

Place in business. An engaging manner is useful everywhere.
This axiom is amusingly iNustrated
by a story which Justin McCarthy
tells. Soon after the civil war, he
says, I happened to be standing on a
bridge in New York amusing myself
by studying the crowd, when a shrill,
youthfu} voice accosted me with,
“Cap'n, shine yer boots?”
The chance distribution of military
titles was ready and liberal at the time
when so many soldiers were returning
to civilian life, and I paid no attention
to the invitation,
Just. then a rival bootblack -passed,
and, imagining where the cause of my
indifference lay, he advanced, and,
pushing past the unsuccessful claimant, he gave me a military salute and
appealed to me with the captivating
words: 5
“Brigadier general, shine yer boots?”
