AUGUST 13. 1889. —_—_—_—_—K—eK—___aea_eee NEVADA_COUNTY, The Big Part Her Peopte Piay in Politics. A San Francisco correspondent writing tothe Redwood Times and Gazette says: I hear that W. W. Stow is again coming into power as the dispenser of patronage. Last year he urged W. H. Sears for iis old place as Collector of the Port, and when Phelps ‘was appointed Stow did not a little quiet seussing. Then he bethotght himself of the Internal Reveune for his friend Sears and rumor has it that he has managed to out-general Morrow, McKeon, Vandever, Felton and even Gage,and neither Sheehan nor Francks will be Collector, but that the prize will go to the veteran politician, Harry Sears, who is an old Nevadaite. He was a delegate to the State Convention which nominated Leland Stanford. for Governor 28 years ago. He has been a candidate for Congress in — —— three different districts but never successful; served in the State Senate a few years ago; was appointed by Presdent Arthur Colleétor of the Port on the suggestion of Senator Miller and W. W.Stow; and altogether he has been a useful. politician. Still, this office has been within the grasp otf at least two. other persons at different periods during the past six months, and it may -yet slip through. Mr. Sears’ fingers. . And this reminds me of the wonderfal influence the counties of Nevada and El Dorado have exerted on the] Republican party .during the past thirty years. There seems to’ have ~ been a coulition,; effensive and defengive, among the Republican politicians of those counties. A. A. Sargent was the king-pin of this coterie, and under his leadership never was a Nevada or El Dorado wire-puller allowed to go to bed bungry.-. Sargent from Nevada first went to the House of Representatives; then Conness of El Dorado dropped into the U. 8. Senate and picked up sucli little things as. he found lying around loose. Sargent reached the Senate and Frank Page of . El Dorado went to the House. The grip became firmer and was not loosened for several’ years. When the State and Federal positions were being distributed, depend-upon it, the Nevada and El Dorado slotswere not forgotten. The lieutenants, sergeants, corporals and many of the privates immigrated to Sacramento, San Francisco and other sections,’ but didn’t forget their. training. They still had their eyes: <98,,th¢_, otbees, there. Even when General Miller éontrolled the distribution of patronage, Nevada and El Deraco secured the biggest plums—Sears the Collectership, W. H. Brown the SurveyorGeneralship, Watson the Naval Office, Van Duzer in the District Attorney’s office, Frost in the Sacramento Internal Revenue District, Taylor the Sacramento Land Office, McKusick the ‘Railway Mail Service, Mose Drew U. S. Marshal, etc., with hosts of minor places. Even now that Sargent is dead, that Page is looking after No. 1 in Washington, that Conness is forgotten, the influence of these old timers is not to be sneered at. McFarland has jumped to the Supreme Bench, Brown has snatched: the Harbor Commissionership from San Francisco, E.G. Waite has been recom~mended for the, San Francisco land Office, Sears may get the Internal Revenue, Drew thie Meppes NP, with several offices to hear from. It’s a cold day when the Nevada or El Dorado Republican yets left. But they ‘are good fellows and pretty good politicians, especially for themselves. ~Oeo Advertised Letters. The following is a list of letters remaining in the Posteffice at Nevada City, California, for the week ending August 10th,1889. Any one calling for these letters will please ask for ad vertised letters: *Daileny, H. J, Harris, H. T. Rolficar, Mr. Blominski, L. Walters, Mrs. Jolin Young, Frank FOREIGN. Powell, T. “ : CALIVN R.

The Bible speaks of three score ydars aud ten as the age to which man may reasonably look for d. Itseems as if. at least, seventy eqr ce, contentéd and happy years— full of such eomfort and gratification as ihe bers of each class in the cominunity : severally a right to expect—should and be within the reach of every manand n. In some countries, however, we ‘ to be much more nearly the case than with us, says the Boston J/erald. Ameris a rule, live too fast to live lonz. cry person is originally endowed with about so large a stock of vitality ont of h-to fashion his—lifesIt amounts to nt timore nor.less than the simplest of prollems im arithmetic to showsthat if he draw’s upon this stock twice as heavily as he should, the duration of his exisfesce. will only be one-half of what it was originally intended to be. Indeed, the matter stands much worse than this; his life is likely to t any moment suddenly cut off short long before reaching even the half. A stcamengine may use up its fuel in two weeks or one, according to thé rate at which it is driven: if it 1s sufficiently overworked the result may be a general * smash,’’ or such an injury as will necessitate a long and tedious “stopping fcr repairs,”’ if, indced, it ever becomes ‘‘as good as new.” We hardly seem ready to recogrize the bounds established by nature, but when we have reached them, in our greed and ambition, we summon our will, and, ag the expression runs, “live upon our nerve,” congratulating ourselves ou our praiseworthy display of “American goaheadativeness.”’ Unfortunately nature has not yet become sufficiently progressive in her ideas to manufacture coustilutions expressly for the American markct, and, in the midst of our triumphant tour de force, click, something snaps, and we vanish from the stage, or break down for years, perhaps for life. What arethe causes of sudden death—as by, a stroke of lightning? They: are not many when only the so-called natural accidents aré considered. Death on the instant may result from apoplexy, or bursting of an ancurism within the chest or abdotnen: itmuay be caused by the bursting of an abscess within the chest. Great mental shock—as_from extreme anger or grief or even joy—sometimes kills instantly through total paralysis of the chief-nerve centers. Cases of Sudden death from hemorrhages" of the lungs are on record, but they ure few ~ in number, Diseases of. the heart render the subject liable to instant death, and they are the most frequent causes. Something may be said descriptive of these accidents and diseases which will interest the general reader. A correct understanding of them might possibly render us less liable to.them. Apoplexy. or, as it is sometimes called, brain-stroke, is usually due to the rupture of a blood-vessel within the brain. Instant death is not the common result of this injury, and yet, as already stated, it sometimes occurs. More often the victim of a severe attack passes intoa condition of stupor, called coma, in which. ‘hetics for hours, or even days, and then dies or slowly recovers. There are many influences which are capable of giving rise to this accident, which in a general way we may attribute to one of two causes: namely, either the walls of the biood-vessel in question are Weakened by dégenerative changes, and so rupture easily, or they are while healthy subjected to an unusual! and too J great a pressure from a rush of blood into them, and give way in consequence. The Wallis of the blood-vessels degenerate with a@ze: as one grows old the liability of. their ture under sudden increase of bloodpressure becomes greater. Age is not the only cause of these weakening changes—we may expect them in ali cases where the system is permanently enfeebled. In an at tack of apoplexy occurring in a person who has passed tle age of sixty, we shouldnaturally assume that the bursting of the blood-véssel was due -to degeneration of its walls. But in one younger, whc had enjoyed fairly good health, we should expect wus too great a blood-pressure. We may retard degeneration, although we can not block the-wheels of time. Some men at ninety are far less liable to apoplexy than others of:fifty. Ina great degree the Jiability is a question of general health. Hence the fear of apoplexy should lead us to endeavor to keep strong:and well “As we grow old we should avoid those influences which are likely to induce sudden and great rush of blood to the head, suchas intense mental excitement —-as in public speaking orin a fit of anger—violent muscular effort, gluttony and drunkenness; etc. While one dines at popular cafes he has but to look about him and he is quite sure to see habits indulged provocative of apoplexy. A familiar sight is the man about sixty years old whose highest. pleasure is in tickling his palate. He is. over-weight -by. fully fifty pounds; his face is red and shiniig; he is full to bursting, and looks as though every important button on his clothing was threatened. -One on a warm day gives sucha man as *‘wide a berth’’ as, he would a cookstove: he is altogether too. hot to sit near. He commences his dinner with an appetizer —generally a cocktail. Then he deliberately “fils up, largely on meat and other *learty’? foods, all of which are-washed down with one atleast, and generally two, bottles of lager beer. As he eats and drinks with one hand, he fans himself vigorously with the other, all the time growing redder and redder, and, finally, when he hoists himself out of his chair, his face takes a. purplish hue in consequence of even that slight effort. He is like a violin when in tone; every part of his system is keyed up, and sometning is sure to break if the unusua) happens. Let such a man, soon after dinner, become violently enraged or shocked by some unexpected calamity, andthe chances are an attack of apoplexy is the consequence, Too much importance has, it is true, been attributed to the so-called apconstitution, consisting of shortness of the neck, with considerable embon‘point, and what is known as full habit. These characteristics do not mean that there is a decided tendency to apoplexy, and yeta man so formed ought to live much differently than he who is “‘lank and lean.” An aneurism isa tumor formed by the dilation of an artery, as the result of the bursting of ite inner and middle coats. _It is more liable to occur in persons in whom degenerative changes in the arteries are taking place. It may be directly caused by great mental excitement, violent’ exertion, lifting, ete., or local injury. The larger thé artery in which the aneurism forms the more serious itis. If within the chest or abdomen, there is little chance of recovery. The progress of aneurism is slow; death is sudden in a proportion of cases from rupture. Large abscesses-in the chest have been known to, burst and cause immediate suffocation. Such accidents are rare, and 80, also, as we have already said, is sudden death from hemorthage ofthe lungs. In those cases death, doubtless, is also caused by suffocation. Strong impressions on the mind will ever reflect their influence on the vital functions, and strengthen or prostrate their energies. ‘Joy seldom kills,” it, is true, and yet if the subject be ofa gol cate and sensitive constitution, and more especially if be labors under any complaint of the heart, the consequences on the nervous system “Of sudden dnd immediate joy will always be attended with hazard. Many instances ef fatal effects from that passion are recorded, andthe assertion has been made by some able writers on mental hygiene that sudden joy is even more hazardous to life than sudden grief. When extravagant joy follows unexpectedly terror or grief, the danger from the shock to the nervous system is heightened.’ That fatt has been illustrated by the sudden death of crimmals who have been pardoned at the point of execution. That terror, grief ‘and anger are sometimes instantly fatal— at once paralyzing the nervous system and stopping the action of the heart—are well ‘known, for the instances have ‘been many. In disease of th® heart these powerful ‘emotions are povgits agencies of evil. If death does not occur from a sudden. intense explained that this was a subject that had “Nevertheless, not.my will, O Lord, shock, the organ 1s enfeeojed by every such aa j all forins of heart disease death is liable to take place suddenly, and in a large proportion of cases the evil ,comes after violent over-exertion. ‘Heart trouble” may exist in a person for along time—even years—without its nce being suspected. Such a one odibying comparatively good Health, and not being conscious ofthe need of unusual care, ig quite sure, gooner or luter, t6.1ma@ke some violent effort—“run to catch the train or the like’’—and “life's thread is snapped.” Rupture of the heart sometimes takes plaée when that organ has suffered from what is known asfatty degeneration, and its walls have been weakened thereby. “Such an action rarely occurs im persons under the age of torty.--— _“‘Is it a qtick death, a painless death?’ isa question whith is frequently asked of physicians. We believe that in the majonty of cases where death comes on the instant—as by a stroke of lightning—it is painless. As has been said, pain is the product of time. To experience pain the impression producing it must be transmitted from the injured part of the living body to the conscious center, must be received at the conscious center, and be. recognized by the mind as a reception; ‘the last acc being in truth the conscious act. In the majority of deaths from natural accidents there is not sufficient time for the accomplishment of, these progressive steps by which the consciousness of existence is the first and last fact inflicted upon the stricken organism, the destruction is so mighty, the sense of it is not revealed. a “TRANSPORTING BURDENS. Different Modes in Which Human Beings Carry Heavy Loads. rane At the last meeting of the Anthropological Society, of Washington, says Science, Prof: Mason read a paper in which he described some of the more common ways in which man has made himself a beast of burden. The brief abstract given here presents some of the more salient parts of the paper. In his prefatory remarks, Prof. Mason awakened his deepest interest, and that the paper he presented was but an introduction to other ‘researches, by means of which he proposed to fully investigate and demonstrate the growth of commerce as carried on through the agency of the human body. That the aboriginal inhabitants performed great feats in the way of transporting materials is shown by the coexistence of raw copper on the shores of Lake Superior, and manufactured copper implements in the remains of the mound and cave dwellings in the southern part of the country. The same thmg is true of the presence of wrought jade, which is found in China and in the Swiss lake-dwellings. Men and women were the first beasts’ of burden, and itis undoubtedly true that all aboriginal carrying was done on their heads and backs. Even the improved state of civilized society has not extinguished all traces of this, for human carriers are still numerous. Hodcarriers haye but recently, and indeed but partially, been superseded by elevating machines. The great progress of the time has been such, contanued Prof. Mason, that no one walks nowadays unless it is a preferred exercise; horses, steam and electricity lend their aid to whirl people to their destinations. It is considered vulgar to carry @ parcel; the humblest servant girl, buying a few cents’ worth, may have her purchase taken home in a special deliverywagon covered with forty coats of lacquer. It has been calculated that two million tons are corstantiy worn by the human race in the way of dress and ornament. The paper then enumerated the various methods by which the various beasts of burden perform their carrying-tasks; first of all, the hand—the right hand. In speaking of'this, Prof. Mason said that he has examined a great number of savage implements designed to be _carried__in the hand, and that the proportion of those shaped for’ use by the ‘left hand was not greater ‘than, one to fifty. In no case did he figd.a.jsficband female, im: which the fingers come into play. As an illustration of the use of the fingers in carrying, Prof. Mason mentionéd the summerresort waiter, who bears his tray aloft.on three fingers. The baldric is next in order, slung over the shoulder by a strap, and anging on the hip.“In this way hunters carry game, and travelers carry. small sachels. Then, still progressing; goods to be carried are hung to a belt. janging things on the arm may be called the retailmethod of carrying, and is used by farmhands, servants, porters; in fact a large Proportion of the people we meet in any place. While a civilized being will twist his form so as to get the load that is hung on his arm supported by his back, a will never be found doing so. Next comes the hanging-over the shoulder, of which @ example is the universal sack of the negro vagabond, containing unclaimed property and other people’s chickens. ‘Phis method is used -py grain-porters -and hodcarriers. f ; 2a The Oriental porters carry almost exclusively on their shoulders. A cooly’s average load is a hundred pounds, with which he can make thirty miles a day. It is estimated that there are a million tons of material moved by coolies in China each day. Then both: shoulders come into use, the load being placed round the neck; after which an-easy progresbion: is to the back, which is the natural carrying-place of the burden. The soldier, carrying his »knapsack and rations, isa good example. Then loads are carried on the heads, a process called ‘*toting.”” The negro is a‘comestic example, and dairy-maide are reputed to carry their miik-pails on their heads, and there many other illustrations of this mode of transportation. Certain tribes. of Indians wear straw rings on their heads to aid in bearing and balancing these great loads. Pockets, remarked Prof. Mason, are scarcely worth mentioning asa civilized means of transportation, although the flowunded. sale by Carr Bros. BSuckien’s Arnica Saivo.

AUGUST 13. 1889. —_—_—_—_—K—eK—___aea_eee NEVADA_COUNTY, The Big Part Her Peopte Piay in Politics. A San Francisco correspondent writing tothe Redwood Times and Gazette says: I hear that W. W. Stow is again coming into power as the dispenser of patronage. Last year he urged W. H. Sears for iis old place as Collector of the Port, and when Phelps ‘was appointed Stow did not a little quiet seussing. Then he bethotght himself of the Internal Reveune for his friend Sears and rumor has it that he has managed to out-general Morrow, McKeon, Vandever, Felton and even Gage,and neither Sheehan nor Francks will be Collector, but that the prize will go to the veteran politician, Harry Sears, who is an old Nevadaite. He was a delegate to the State Convention which nominated Leland Stanford. for Governor 28 years ago. He has been a candidate for Congress in — —— three different districts but never successful; served in the State Senate a few years ago; was appointed by Presdent Arthur Colleétor of the Port on the suggestion of Senator Miller and W. W.Stow; and altogether he has been a useful. politician. Still, this office has been within the grasp otf at least two. other persons at different periods during the past six months, and it may -yet slip through. Mr. Sears’ fingers. . And this reminds me of the wonderfal influence the counties of Nevada and El Dorado have exerted on the] Republican party .during the past thirty years. There seems to’ have ~ been a coulition,; effensive and defengive, among the Republican politicians of those counties. A. A. Sargent was the king-pin of this coterie, and under his leadership never was a Nevada or El Dorado wire-puller allowed to go to bed bungry.-. Sargent from Nevada first went to the House of Representatives; then Conness of El Dorado dropped into the U. 8. Senate and picked up sucli little things as. he found lying around loose. Sargent reached the Senate and Frank Page of . El Dorado went to the House. The grip became firmer and was not loosened for several’ years. When the State and Federal positions were being distributed, depend-upon it, the Nevada and El Dorado slotswere not forgotten. The lieutenants, sergeants, corporals and many of the privates immigrated to Sacramento, San Francisco and other sections,’ but didn’t forget their. training. They still had their eyes: <98,,th¢_, otbees, there. Even when General Miller éontrolled the distribution of patronage, Nevada and El Deraco secured the biggest plums—Sears the Collectership, W. H. Brown the SurveyorGeneralship, Watson the Naval Office, Van Duzer in the District Attorney’s office, Frost in the Sacramento Internal Revenue District, Taylor the Sacramento Land Office, McKusick the ‘Railway Mail Service, Mose Drew U. S. Marshal, etc., with hosts of minor places. Even now that Sargent is dead, that Page is looking after No. 1 in Washington, that Conness is forgotten, the influence of these old timers is not to be sneered at. McFarland has jumped to the Supreme Bench, Brown has snatched: the Harbor Commissionership from San Francisco, E.G. Waite has been recom~mended for the, San Francisco land Office, Sears may get the Internal Revenue, Drew thie Meppes NP, with several offices to hear from. It’s a cold day when the Nevada or El Dorado Republican yets left. But they ‘are good fellows and pretty good politicians, especially for themselves. ~Oeo Advertised Letters.

The Bible speaks of three score ydars aud ten as the age to which man may reasonably look for d. Itseems as if. at least, seventy eqr ce, contentéd and happy years— full of such eomfort and gratification as ihe bers of each class in the cominunity : severally a right to expect—should and be within the reach of every manand n. In some countries, however, we ‘ to be much more nearly the case than with us, says the Boston J/erald. Ameris a rule, live too fast to live lonz. cry person is originally endowed with about so large a stock of vitality ont of h-to fashion his—lifesIt amounts to nt timore nor.less than the simplest of prollems im arithmetic to showsthat if he draw’s upon this stock twice as heavily as he should, the duration of his exisfesce. will only be one-half of what it was originally intended to be. Indeed, the matter stands much worse than this; his life is likely to t any moment suddenly cut off short long before reaching even the half. A stcamengine may use up its fuel in two weeks or one, according to thé rate at which it is driven: if it 1s sufficiently overworked the result may be a general * smash,’’ or such an injury as will necessitate a long and tedious “stopping fcr repairs,”’ if, indced, it ever becomes ‘‘as good as new.” We hardly seem ready to recogrize the bounds established by nature, but when we have reached them, in our greed and ambition, we summon our will, and, ag the expression runs, “live upon our nerve,” congratulating ourselves ou our praiseworthy display of “American goaheadativeness.”’ Unfortunately nature has not yet become sufficiently progressive in her ideas to manufacture coustilutions expressly for the American markct, and, in the midst of our triumphant tour de force, click, something snaps, and we vanish from the stage, or break down for years, perhaps for life. What arethe causes of sudden death—as by, a stroke of lightning? They: are not many when only the so-called natural accidents aré considered. Death on the instant may result from apoplexy, or bursting of an ancurism within the chest or abdotnen: itmuay be caused by the bursting of an abscess within the chest. Great mental shock—as_from extreme anger or grief or even joy—sometimes kills instantly through total paralysis of the chief-nerve centers. Cases of Sudden death from hemorrhages" of the lungs are on record, but they ure few ~ in number, Diseases of. the heart render the subject liable to instant death, and they are the most frequent causes. Something may be said descriptive of these accidents and diseases which will interest the general reader. A correct understanding of them might possibly render us less liable to.them. Apoplexy. or, as it is sometimes called, brain-stroke, is usually due to the rupture of a blood-vessel within the brain. Instant death is not the common result of this injury, and yet, as already stated, it sometimes occurs. More often the victim of a severe attack passes intoa condition of stupor, called coma, in which. ‘hetics for hours, or even days, and then dies or slowly recovers. There are many influences which are capable of giving rise to this accident, which in a general way we may attribute to one of two causes: namely, either the walls of the biood-vessel in question are Weakened by dégenerative changes, and so rupture easily, or they are while healthy subjected to an unusual! and too J great a pressure from a rush of blood into them, and give way in consequence. The Wallis of the blood-vessels degenerate with a@ze: as one grows old the liability of. their ture under sudden increase of bloodpressure becomes greater. Age is not the only cause of these weakening changes—we may expect them in ali cases where the system is permanently enfeebled. In an at tack of apoplexy occurring in a person who has passed tle age of sixty, we shouldnaturally assume that the bursting of the blood-véssel was due -to degeneration of its walls. But in one younger, whc had enjoyed fairly good health, we should expect wus too great a blood-pressure. We may retard degeneration, although we can not block the-wheels of time. Some men at ninety are far less liable to apoplexy than others of:fifty. Ina great degree the Jiability is a question of general health. Hence the fear of apoplexy should lead us to endeavor to keep strong:and well “As we grow old we should avoid those influences which are likely to induce sudden and great rush of blood to the head, suchas intense mental excitement —-as in public speaking orin a fit of anger—violent muscular effort, gluttony and drunkenness; etc. While one dines at popular cafes he has but to look about him and he is quite sure to see habits indulged provocative of apoplexy. A familiar sight is the man about sixty years old whose highest. pleasure is in tickling his palate. He is. over-weight -by. fully fifty pounds; his face is red and shiniig; he is full to bursting, and looks as though every important button on his clothing was threatened. -One on a warm day gives sucha man as *‘wide a berth’’ as, he would a cookstove: he is altogether too. hot to sit near. He commences his dinner with an appetizer —generally a cocktail. Then he deliberately “fils up, largely on meat and other *learty’? foods, all of which are-washed down with one atleast, and generally two, bottles of lager beer. As he eats and drinks with one hand, he fans himself vigorously with the other, all the time growing redder and redder, and, finally, when he hoists himself out of his chair, his face takes a. purplish hue in consequence of even that slight effort. He is like a violin when in tone; every part of his system is keyed up, and sometning is sure to break if the unusua) happens. Let such a man, soon after dinner, become violently enraged or shocked by some unexpected calamity, andthe chances are an attack of apoplexy is the consequence, Too much importance has, it is true, been attributed to the so-called apconstitution, consisting of shortness of the neck, with considerable embon‘point, and what is known as full habit. These characteristics do not mean that there is a decided tendency to apoplexy, and yeta man so formed ought to live much differently than he who is “‘lank and lean.” An aneurism isa tumor formed by the dilation of an artery, as the result of the bursting of ite inner and middle coats. _It is more liable to occur in persons in whom degenerative changes in the arteries are taking place. It may be directly caused by great mental excitement, violent’ exertion, lifting, ete., or local injury. The larger thé artery in which the aneurism forms the more serious itis. If within the chest or abdomen, there is little chance of recovery. The progress of aneurism is slow; death is sudden in a proportion of cases from rupture. Large abscesses-in the chest have been known to, burst and cause immediate suffocation. Such accidents are rare, and 80, also, as we have already said, is sudden death from hemorthage ofthe lungs. In those cases death, doubtless, is also caused by suffocation. Strong impressions on the mind will ever reflect their influence on the vital functions, and strengthen or prostrate their energies. ‘Joy seldom kills,” it, is true, and yet if the subject be ofa gol cate and sensitive constitution, and more especially if be labors under any complaint of the heart, the consequences on the nervous system “Of sudden dnd immediate joy will always be attended with hazard. Many instances ef fatal effects from that passion are recorded, andthe assertion has been made by some able writers on mental hygiene that sudden joy is even more hazardous to life than sudden grief. When extravagant joy follows unexpectedly terror or grief, the danger from the shock to the nervous system is heightened.’ That fatt has been illustrated by the sudden death of crimmals who have been pardoned at the point of execution. That terror, grief ‘and anger are sometimes instantly fatal— at once paralyzing the nervous system and stopping the action of the heart—are well ‘known, for the instances have ‘been many. In disease of th® heart these powerful ‘emotions are povgits agencies of evil. If death does not occur from a sudden. intense explained that this was a subject that had “Nevertheless, not.my will, O Lord, shock, the organ 1s enfeeojed by every such aa j all forins of heart disease death is liable to take place suddenly, and in a large proportion of cases the evil ,comes after violent over-exertion. ‘Heart trouble” may exist in a person for along time—even years—without its nce being suspected. Such a one odibying comparatively good Health, and not being conscious ofthe need of unusual care, ig quite sure, gooner or luter, t6.1ma@ke some violent effort—“run to catch the train or the like’’—and “life's thread is snapped.” Rupture of the heart sometimes takes plaée when that organ has suffered from what is known asfatty degeneration, and its walls have been weakened thereby. “Such an action rarely occurs im persons under the age of torty.--— _“‘Is it a qtick death, a painless death?’ isa question whith is frequently asked of physicians. We believe that in the majonty of cases where death comes on the instant—as by a stroke of lightning—it is painless. As has been said, pain is the product of time. To experience pain the impression producing it must be transmitted from the injured part of the living body to the conscious center, must be received at the conscious center, and be. recognized by the mind as a reception; ‘the last acc being in truth the conscious act. In the majority of deaths from natural accidents there is not sufficient time for the accomplishment of, these progressive steps by which the consciousness of existence is the first and last fact inflicted upon the stricken organism, the destruction is so mighty, the sense of it is not revealed. a “TRANSPORTING BURDENS. Different Modes in Which Human Beings Carry Heavy Loads. rane At the last meeting of the Anthropological Society, of Washington, says Science, Prof: Mason read a paper in which he described some of the more common ways in which man has made himself a beast of burden. The brief abstract given here presents some of the more salient parts of the paper. In his prefatory remarks, Prof. Mason awakened his deepest interest, and that the paper he presented was but an introduction to other ‘researches, by means of which he proposed to fully investigate and demonstrate the growth of commerce as carried on through the agency of the human body. That the aboriginal inhabitants performed great feats in the way of transporting materials is shown by the coexistence of raw copper on the shores of Lake Superior, and manufactured copper implements in the remains of the mound and cave dwellings in the southern part of the country. The same thmg is true of the presence of wrought jade, which is found in China and in the Swiss lake-dwellings. Men and women were the first beasts’ of burden, and itis undoubtedly true that all aboriginal carrying was done on their heads and backs. Even the improved state of civilized society has not extinguished all traces of this, for human carriers are still numerous. Hodcarriers haye but recently, and indeed but partially, been superseded by elevating machines. The great progress of the time has been such, contanued Prof. Mason, that no one walks nowadays unless it is a preferred exercise; horses, steam and electricity lend their aid to whirl people to their destinations. It is considered vulgar to carry @ parcel; the humblest servant girl, buying a few cents’ worth, may have her purchase taken home in a special deliverywagon covered with forty coats of lacquer. It has been calculated that two million tons are corstantiy worn by the human race in the way of dress and ornament. The paper then enumerated the various methods by which the various beasts of burden perform their carrying-tasks; first of all, the hand—the right hand. In speaking of'this, Prof. Mason said that he has examined a great number of savage implements designed to be _carried__in the hand, and that the proportion of those shaped for’ use by the ‘left hand was not greater ‘than, one to fifty. In no case did he figd.a.jsficband female, im: which the fingers come into play. As an illustration of the use of the fingers in carrying, Prof. Mason mentionéd the summerresort waiter, who bears his tray aloft.on three fingers. The baldric is next in order, slung over the shoulder by a strap, and anging on the hip.“In this way hunters carry game, and travelers carry. small sachels. Then, still progressing; goods to be carried are hung to a belt. janging things on the arm may be called the retailmethod of carrying, and is used by farmhands, servants, porters; in fact a large Proportion of the people we meet in any place. While a civilized being will twist his form so as to get the load that is hung on his arm supported by his back, a will never be found doing so. Next comes the hanging-over the shoulder, of which @ example is the universal sack of the negro vagabond, containing unclaimed property and other people’s chickens. ‘Phis method is used -py grain-porters -and hodcarriers. f ; 2a The Oriental porters carry almost exclusively on their shoulders. A cooly’s average load is a hundred pounds, with which he can make thirty miles a day. It is estimated that there are a million tons of material moved by coolies in China each day. Then both: shoulders come into use, the load being placed round the neck; after which an-easy progresbion: is to the back, which is the natural carrying-place of the burden. The soldier, carrying his »knapsack and rations, isa good example. Then loads are carried on the heads, a process called ‘*toting.”” The negro is a‘comestic example, and dairy-maide are reputed to carry their miik-pails on their heads, and there many other illustrations of this mode of transportation. Certain tribes. of Indians wear straw rings on their heads to aid in bearing and balancing these great loads. Pockets, remarked Prof. Mason, are scarcely worth mentioning asa civilized means of transportation, although the flowunded. sale by Carr Bros. BSuckien’s Arnica Saivo.
