Twe Deer right. The gentlemen comprising the survey ing party bow working for the Bear Val ley company np Millard's canyon, were on Monday treated to a right which sel dom cornea to men in thU center of civili sation. We get the story from Means. Pollock and Rosa, transit men of the party. The men were working np the canyon abont a mile above the Millard Honae wen they heard a peculiar, crashing noise. Looking np they saw on the cliffs bigh above the stream, and abont a quar ter of a mile from them, two noble bucks standing, with heads lowered, abont ten feet from each other. Thna they stood eying each other and pawing the dirt for folly minnte. Then they made a simultaneous spring, and came together with a noise like a falling tree. 8o violent was the concussion that the animals were thrown back nntil a dis tance of ten or fifteen again intervened between them. The men, fascinated with the sight, watched the deer go through the same performance again and again. Finally, after a more than usually violent rush, the bucks did not separate. but struggled as if apparently trying to push each other back. It soon became plain to the men, however, that instead of pushing they were pulling away from each other. In other words their horns had become locked, and from raging combatants the bocks became fright ened animals, and were only bent on se curing a divorce. Messrs. Boss, Pol lock and party then conceived the idea of taking advantage of the helpless con dition of the bucks and capturing them. 'ihey made a great rush for the scene, but before they reached it the deer in their straggles approached too near the edge of the cliff and both of them fell to their death in the pool below. When the party reached the water the deer were found locked in each other's horns quite dead. The gentlemen thought to skin the deer and bring in the hides to lend an air of authenticity to the tale, but the law is so strict as to having in yonr posses sion the hide of a newly deceased deer. no matter whether the deer dies of la grippe, commits suicide or falls ont of balloon, that they forbore.- "German Syrup" Eoschee s Oerman byrup is more successful in the treatment of Con sumption than any other remedy prescribed.

No more will the magnificent hall and salons of the dingy edifice in King street, St. James', celebrated tinder both these titles, re-echo the sounds of revelry and mirth. Henceforth the animation within its walls will be confined mainly to sales by auction. In its day Alniacks was the center of fashion, entry to which was guarded by a committee of ladies as closely as ever Orberus guarded a region not so inviting, and who were less easily satisfied than even the fabled sentinel. Even ths Duke of Wellington who, according to Lord William Lenox, earned for himself in his day the title of "The Bean of the Peninsula." jnst as in later times a gallant admiral earned for him self the distinction of "The Swell of the Ocean" was denied admission one night because he had donned black trousers instead of the knee breeches and silk stockings which the committee had voted indispensable for gentlemen. Every book dealing with fashionable life at the end of the last century and the begin ning of this abounds in references to Al mack's. According to legend Mr. Almack was in reality a Scotchman, who came to London in the proverbial condition. His real name was M All, but as at that time his countrymen were not so es teemed south of the Tweed as they are now, he thonght to diminish hostility to his nationality by reversing his patro nymic. Almack's ultimately became Willis' Booms, and was for long the headquarters of social festivals, dances and charity dinners. These festal times are over, and instead of the toastmas ter" "Fill your glasses, gentlemen; bumpers, if you please," the refrain of its presiding genius will be "Go, going, gone!" And thns disappears another link which joined the end of the century with what the late Lord Lamington called the "Days of the Dandies." Lon don Telegraph. An Important Translation. Of the Papyrus Ebers, the important medical manuscript which George Ebers, the well known German Egyptologist and novelist, acquired at Lnxsor eight een or nineteen years ago, only frag ments the chapter on diseases of the eyes, for instance have, with Professor Hirschberg's help, yet been translated. Ebers shrank from translating the whole, on the ground that medical knowledge was requisite for the task. He expressed this opinion when he and Lndwig Stern edited the manuscript in 1875. A com plete translation has now been made by Berlin medical man, Dr. Heinrich Joachim, who learned Egyptian for the purpose, and has been working at the translation for several years. Thanks to his labors, the oldest medical work in the world is now accessible to all who can read German. Joachim thinks that it was written at latest 1550 years B. C, but that parts of it are of still older date. It consists mainly of recipes, interspersed here and there with proverbs. In some passages advice as to the examination of patients Is given; in others tbe prognosis indicat ed by certain symptoms is stated. The treatise shows that palpation of the ab domen was practiced by the old Egyp tian physicians. Berlin Cor. London Lancet. Cork Forests. Cork growing in Spain and Portngal is an extremely precarious business, and it demands considerable capital. Only the other day a man in this city was seeking a partner jjith flOO.OOOto putintoacork forest in Spain, with a lease of 150 years. Tbe bark is cnt only once in ten years, but as the forests are very large the grower manages to obtain an annnul crop. This year s crop is just beginning to come into the American market, the trees baving been barked in July and August. Crude cork comes over in great bales eighing from 175 to 225 ponnds each. The beat to which it is subjected in order to flatten ont its curves also drives ont most of the insects, such as one wonld naturally expect to find in bark. As cork is too light to form a cargo of itself, the cork carrying vessels also bring oil, olives, wine and heavy mer chandise of various sorts. New York Bun. Pessimist t hare meat to eat, wool to wear, coal to bum. My material wants are measurably satisfied. But the race is doomed. Von and I will not see the day, but It will come, when coal is exhausted by the ever increaiinx demand, when the earth no more yields food for the starving mil lions, when the temperate sonea must be abandoned for the lack of fuel and under the tropic sun men turned again to beasts struggle for tbe mere privilege of living. Arts, manufactures, sciences, everything, will follow fuel and light into the void of the forgotten. Books will pertah, cities crumble and gibbering apea crawl again where men walked, their degeneracy ac complished, the cycle of evolution com plete. Then let the sun's paling light (all. the quicker the better, on a dead world. white and frozen from pole to equator. Optimist uoeh! There never was a great human want that was not met. It is abort time, comparatively, since wood wait the fuel of the world. It became scarce, and coal was discovered in quantities ap parently inexhaustible in spite of what yon say. But grant for the sake of argu ment that tbe use of coal must some day cease. 1 hat ought not to worry us, now that tbe Niagara tunnel is opened. Isimtot bat nas that Optimist Everything. Light, heat, mo tion, power are all manifestations of the same force and theoretically interchange able. No one of them is ever lost. The trouble baa been to manage the transforma tion. Power is plenty without coal, but it isn't easy to lead it to its work. Try to do this with belts and shafts, and if the dis tance is great power becomes changed to heat by friction on tbe way. But now comes the great mutual reagent, electricity. At Lake Huella in Sweden 300 horsepower are to be generated by turbine water wheels. wired six miles to a lighting station and eight miles to a power station. If six and eight miles, why not 60 and St)r There is Niagara now in harness. Buffalo will be come a greater manufacturing city than ever before, yet burn relatively less coal. Every minnte the water that glides over that mighty cliff is the power equiva lent of thousands of tons of coaL This en ergy can be sent by wire to New York if you like and used to run sausage grinders. Having learned to change heat to power and telegraph it where we like, we shall learn to transmit power back into heat and warm ourselves in winter by the Grand falls of Labrador. Why go so farr The cool fields are bottled sunshine from tbe carboniferous period. Let's bottle our own. w e nave enough ot It in summer. Or catch the force of the tide which surges through our inlets aud turn that into power and heat. Then you'll see lumps of coal in cabinets labeled, "Formerly used for fuel, Then there is the wind. More wind power Is tued now than ever before, but its use is jnst begun. It is free, inexhaustible. Put up your shaft anywhere and set Boreas grinding corn. It is Irregular, but if there u a cyclone In Kansas and a calm In Da kota, Dakota can telegraph, "Please wire us 300 h. p. per minute 1. 1, and chg. to our acct." All this is supposing that coal runs out. But it won't. We understand better the conservation as well as the correlation of enemy. Many a man is running a SO h. p. engine on less coal than he formerly used for 6 1. p. Tue Campania bums no more than tbe old Servia. We have wasted our wood and our coal. Inventive genius is now economizing. There are plenty of saw mills that use no fuel but the sawdust they make. Pessimist Yes, but food? Optimist Waste- again. We waste br feeding corn to cattle and then eating the cattle, instead of eating the corn. We waste by turning sewage into the sea, instead of making it productive as at Pullman. We waste by slovenly farming. There isalmost no limit to tbe productiveness of a single , Belgium teaches us that. The denser the population tbe better the farm in z. No soil is so poor that it cannot be made to yield three or four big crops a year br till age, which is applied power, and by fertil ization. Atwater has raised splendid crops on sea sand, which had been baked to de stroy every atom of virtue in it. It is all a queue ion of power, power, power, in some one of its forms, and when we have harnessed Niagara to his plow the farmer can kill his oxen and 100 people live on the produce of their pasture. Draw a circle of 30 miles radius around New York. Within that circle can be raised all tbe food the city needs, if you eliminate waste. The desert of sabara could feed every human oeing on we planet and cry for more. Power, its transmission, transformation and economy, is the solution of tbe ques tion, and of power there is no apparent limit. Pessimist But there is heat. Heat is from tbe sun, tbe tides from the sun and moon combined. When the sun loses Its beat it will cease to build clouds, and Ni agara will run dry. No wind will blow your wheels about. Your farwer will lose that which Is more necessary tban power light and water. Where is humanity then? Optimist I don't know. But are von sure the sun is growing cold? Some say its everlasting tires are stoked by a constant rain ol aerolites, tbe inconceivable force of their impact transmuted to heat keening him up to his work. Tbe sun's heat can not be lost. Nothing is lost. It majtr cnangea to anotner form of energy, to emerge When the whirling worlds In their orbits clash and from tbe nebula of their unimaginable collision is fashioned forth a new universe.

That is true of many, but not of Alliws's Poaofs Plastsm. Tbey NO QUARTER will do you as much rood as the one that Narrow Wagon Tires and Had Roada. While the subject of new roads is be ing agitated by the legislatnres and the agricultural journals, the farmers are busy working np the subject in a prac tical thongh possibly nut in the most proper way by industriously, and at much expense of time and team, cutting np and destroying the roads by driving heavily loaded, narrow tired wagons over them. When we see a man on a heavily loaded, narrow tired wagon urg ing along his jaded team, engaged to hi nttnost power in making mud, aud then grumbling because of the "horrid' muddy roads, be seem to be an object for pity. The only thing he seems disposed to do to make matters different is to throw some hard words into the muddiest places, and then continue his custom of turning ont on to the highway with his rut digger every time the ground is too wet for plowing. Now, if the legisla ture is to do anything for tbe roads, let them begin by legislating the narrow tires off the heavy lumber and truck wagons. I have seen a single heavy, narrow urea wagon in tne distance of a half mile cause more damage than could be repaired in six days of ordinary road work. Tbe question seems to be about this: Which is the better economy, wide tires and good roads or narrow tires and bad roads? The narrow tires are as mnch out of place on the farm as on the highway. Men admit that facta and philosophy are in favor of wide tires, and say that when all the others nse wide tires they will do so. They seem to be afraid that tbey will do more than their proportionate share of good in this world. It seems that the legislature may have to help them out of their ruts.

"A month hence," says a California engineer of reputation, "theSalton lake will have dried np." Salton lake, it will be remembered, is tbe shallow inland sea which was formed by a break in the Colorado river, whose water in modern times, at least, flowed into the Oulf of California, a we know it. The basin cf the short lived lake, however, was once a part of the gulf, and if the flow of water had continued some modern im provements might indeed have been ef fected. The river will not boom again till spring, when the lake may refill. Any device that could render it perma nent would have a mitigating effect upon the dreaded Arizona climate, of which dire stories are told. Worse things could happen than the tapping of tne ioloralo river higher np, so that all it waters might flow into tbe old chan nel and make the wilderness blossom with the rose.

The accident happened while be was using some solder in a gut ter in which there was a little water. Tbe moment that he applied the melted metal it snapped and flew. One piece of it came directly for hi eye. The lids closed Involuntarily the moment of con tact and tbe solder rested upon the lash es; it soldered the lids together so firmly mat it was impossible to move them. The eye was not injured in the (lightest, but wa effectually closed. The victim wa half amused at the ridiculous side of the affair. A companion took him to a doctor, who severed the lashes.
