eee * THE TRANSCRIPT. BROWN & CALKINS. Bu. P. BROWER. L. BS. CALKINS. . APPRARED Spring and went to Oakland, Cali-. 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, At first I was Pleased, but when . found that John tiad traded away. about <20° pounds ‘of preservative, consisting of alum and arsenic, which he had mistaken for salt. . was filled 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,” Never Burn a Canpie-at Born Enps .

I shall be as silent ae The rough outlines of ch E . are probably. familiar to every «one, Fresh milk is taken and curdied with ‘rennet. -The curd is then broken up and the liquid whey drawn off; the breaking up of the curd, its straining and the subjection of it to pressure are processes repeated several timeés_until eventually the curd has become of the 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 new substances is merely the natural ¢course of their life, but it makes all the difference between curd and cheese.—Good Words. The Business Instinet, Too many people are accustomed to think of politeness In address as appropriate in company, but quite out of 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?” T had my boots shined on the spot, Truly Appreciative, “Do you appreciate poetry?” asked the serlous young woman. “Yes, indeed,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “There's one piece of poetry that has done me a world of good. Old as I am, there are times when I couldn’t tel how to figure without saying ‘Thirty days hath September, April, June and November.’ ”—Washington Star, “A woman, I notice, always lowers her voice to ask a favor,” “Yes, and raises her voice, if she doesn’t get it."—-Chicago Record.

The occupation of the pugs is gone so far as this part of the State is concerned. They will have to go to work now. Does This Strike You?
