pursuant to the definite location of the
Cascade Branch of its road, were, under
the terms of the forfeiting act, resumed

line overlap the limits of the main
line, .the forfeiture act provided that
only a moiety of the odd-numbered sec
tions lying within the overlaping limit
was affected thereby, and ) the railroad
company pursuant to instructions" from

lneapple for Dyspepsia.
Another possible triumph of medical
science over disease is suggested by a pa
per read, before the Detroit Medical asso
ciation recently 4n',' "Alimentation : in
Therapeutics, . in which ; was announced
an important discovery by Signor 'Vin
cente Marcano, of "Venezuela, in regard
to the pineapple. . . According to Signor
Marcano there is in the common pine
apple a ferment or principle similar to
pepsin, of such remarkable strength that
the juice of a single pineapple will di
gest ten pounds of beef. If this proves
true a new and important agent in the
treatment "of dyspepsia has been" discov
ered. As nearly all other diseases are
directly, influenced by; the degree .'in
which food can. be -assimilated, and. as
millions of people have imperfect diges
tion, the possibilities of this discovery
are almost limitless, if it proves to be as
represented. Cleveland Leader.
The Golden Rose.
There , is a rumor in Paris that the
pope has resolved to honor Mme. Carnot
by sending her the Golden Rose blessed
last mid-Lent Sunday; -' This honor is
usually reserved for Catholic sovereigns,
and it is needless to add that the gift of
Leo XIII would , be looked upon as un
precedented So far it ia certain that
the Golden. Rose as not yet. left Rome,
while as a rule it is disposed of within a
few months. It is probable that there
would be no ceremonial, .but the mere
giving of the rose to the wife of a presi
dent of European republic would be
most significant. Paria Cor- London

A somewhat novel colonization scheme
is in the hands of Gen. Herman Sturm.
The concession provides that Mr. Sturm
shall establish four colonies in different
parts of the country, the government
obliging itself to sell him for the pur
pose 250,600 hectares of surveyed public
land in the states of Durango, Coahuila,
Chihuahua, Oaxaca and Michoacan. The
first colony, consisting 6f 200 persons of
either sex, must be established within
three years from the date of the promul
gation of the concession. The colonists
are to be selected preferably from among
the residents of Mexican descent in the
American states of California and Colo
rado, and the territories of New Mexico,
and Arizona.. . , ...
The colonists will engage .in stock
raising (to which end the free importa
tion of a limited number of head, of
stock for -breeding . purposes will be al
lowed), in the manufacture of barrels'
and coopers' goods generally, of beer,
spirits and perfumery. : But - the. most
important feature of the scheme is the
erection of a paper mill in the federal
district and the agreement of the con-,
cessionaire to sell the paper manufact-.
ured there at a "m.-riwynrn price of $3.50
for common triple printing paper, $3.50
for superior printing paper suitable for
books, and $10 for glazed paper. An
other feature is the project, for putting
up a vegetable, fruit and fish canning
establishment, Mexican Financier. -

Mr. Daggett bore himself in his official
residence at Hawaii as if it had been his
editorial room in Virginia City. 1 saw
Mr. . Daggett the other day. He had
come down from his ranch' at Vaca villa
to visit his former royal chum. Agri
cultural life agrees with the ex-journalist
and diplomats. He used to be fat,
but now he lookslike a pugilist in train
ing. "Everybody' he said, "seems to be
shocked at my leanness, just as yon are.
Judge Mesick was quite scared . this
morning. 'Daggett,' says he, it isn't
natural for yon to be without jowls and
a paunch. It ain't exercise, but disease
that's the matter with you.. See a doc
tor. - You're dying. .
" 'Dying,' says I, Tm as strong as an
ox. i Let me show you. ". Give mo some

and I bared my arm.: - 'Just let me raise
something for you.' . . :. t i .; -',-
" 'All right,' says Mesick, 'go out and
see if you can raise me $5,000.' "
-1 am told that when Mr. Daggett sent
in his card to King K'nlaVn.Tift at the
Palace hotel, his majesty turned to Lord
Chamberlain McFarlane, and said with a
gesture of high command:
"Let him be admitted, and the draw
bridge raised. Drop also the portcullis.

In this unknown land bear, elk 'and
the noble black tailed deer exist in al
most countless ' numbers, and in all but
perfect, fearlessness of man, and here,
from the great difficulty of access "to
their domain, the enterprising sportsman
may find them ages hence. Until the
summer , just ' passed no ". hunter's," pros
pector's or explorer's rifle had ever awak
ened the echoes -of their hills. ' This
hunter's paradise is the peninsula lying
west of Paget sound, and embraces all
the territory west from the sound to the
Pacific ocean, and the Straits of San
Jpan de. Fuca south to the northern line
of. Chehalish county, comprising the en
tire counties, of Clallam' and Jefferson,
