Tln Tit po Worm In Sheep.
Over eighty-live per cent of the vhecp
examined in Colorado last Summer,
according to a report made. iQ Dr.
Cooper Curtice to tho Biological Socie
ty at a recent meeting, won infocttd
by a tape worm, which is apparently
indigenous to the western country.
Similar parsites have been described in
1850 by Dr. K. M. Dicing from speci
mens obtained by Natescn from Bra
zilian deer; but siueo that timo tho
species was apparently unnoticed.
This species is interesting, first, on ac
count of its peculiar antoniony, and
tho life history of the individual paras
ite; second, because of tho history of
this species, which indicates it to bo
tho lirstacquisilion of a native parasite
by the sheep on this continent, and its
subsequent distribution in tho United
States: and. third, from an economic
, . . ., ,..,,.,.:,.., c ;i,,
standpoint, he discusssioiio-f it mclu-
ding a consideration of disoaso pio'lueed
in sheep tho actual loss in death rate
in wool and mutton, duo to tho parasite
and of tho prohlegi of cure and pio
vontion of the disoase.
As this species has not been describ
ed in Europe, omd has not boon
noticed in Eastern UniteiP Slates, it
seems to have been acquired by tho
sheep since their importation into this
country.

A nervous looking man wgiit into a
store ffie other day, says an exchange,
and sat. down for half an hour 6r so,
when a clerk asked him if ho could do
anything for him. Ho said no: ho
didn't want anything. Ho wont away(
and he sat thero half an hour longer,
when the proprietor went to him and
asked him if ho wanted to bo shown
anything. "No," said tho nervous
man. "I just want to sit around; My
physician has recommended perfect
quiet for mo, and .says above all things
I should avoid being in crowds. No
ticing that you did not advertise in
the newspapers, I thought this would
be as quiet a place as I could find, so I
just dropped in for a few hours isola
tion." Tho merchant picked up a
boltof paper cambric to brain him, but
tho man wont out. Mo said all he
wanted was a quiet life.

W. T. Campbell, of Social ridge, last

of Egyptian oats from his father in
Canada. Sowing thorn last spring up
on an eighth of an acre of ground, ho

A Warn I at;.
The modes of death's approach aro
various, and statistics show conclusive
ly that more people die from diseases
of the throat and lungs Ihun any other.
Ttis probable that everyone without
exception, receives vast numbers of
tubercle germs into the system and
when these g rins full upon suitable
soil thoy start, into life and develop, at
first slowly and is shown by a slight
tickling sensation in tho throat and if
allowed to continue their ravages thoy
extend to tho lungs producing con
sumption and to the head, causing ca
tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and
if allowed to proceed will in time cause
1 death. At the onset yon must act
with promptness ; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and
may loso you your lifo. Ah soon as
you feel that something is wrong with
your throat, lungs, or nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boscheo's German Syrup. It
will give you immediate relief.
No Leap Your In 1000.
Although the year 11)00 will be di

this should be is as much a problem to

Tho Idaho World says: "The 'Chi
nese ..isons' met at this place last,
week, and marched a number of celes
tials through the solemn mysteries of
that ancient order at .f lfl per head.
Tho Chinese claim that their order is
'alio same Mclican man's Masons,' but
a little higher grade more ancient,
grand and mystical, and richer in the
lore and magnificent teachings of an
tiquity. Judging from tho ceaseless
jabbering kept tip for twenty-four
hours, they must bo accorded thcrjalm
for the most copious flow of ceremoni
al language of an initiatory nature.
The impression mtflo on tho weary
candidates cannot fail to bo deep and
lasting. A march of twenty-four
hours through changing scenes of
archteologicnl mysteries is something
not soon to be forgotten. Tlio moot
ing was a big atl'air, Chinese being in
attendance from all parts of tho Basin.
O
A Chinaman who was interviewed in
regard to the nature of the order gavo
