Horace GREELEY As A PRINTER
BoY.-Here in the Poultney the New
York Tribune was founded. Here its
founder washed its forms, and carried
water, and built the fires, and didn't
sweep out the news room, and didn {
carry out the ashes, and forgot what
he was sent for and let the paste sour,
and lost the letters he was given TO
mail, and upset the I've, and tried the
usual experiments with the fancy job
type and the finest colored inks in the
way Of fearful and wonderful visiting
cards, and in all ways conducted him
self even as the devil always does
about a print-shop. Here Greeley
passed some years Of his boyhood. |

about the good old man, and trying

the hook, just under a long take Of
solid nonpareil. - Bob Burdett in

Arab Pasha appears to be not onl

Arab Pasha appears to be not only
a daring military leader but an adven'
turous speculator. Before the Egypt
ian difficulty had reached its present
stage, he was "a bear" of Egyptian
stock in more than one capital. Lon
don brokers, it is now shown, have
been doing business for the ingenious
Arab. His latest little financial oper.
alton was to bag 1925, 200 from the

Now 10 Treat Sun StroEe

A distinction Of immense practical
importance exists between heat ex.
haustion and heat stroke, OF coup de
sOlea. IL is much 10 be feared that
this difference too often passes unre.
garded, 10 the serious detriment Of the
patient. Heat exhaustion, as the
term implies, means a sudden anmmie
produced by work or muscular exer.
else in high temperature. Heat
stroke. or sunstroke, signifies the sud.
den access Of unconsciousness with
high febrile heat. In the former the
body is cool, the skin moist, or wet
with perspiration, the pulse small,
feeble and low in tension, the muscu.
lar system relaxed, the pupil dilated,
and the mind feeble, but consciousness
is not lost, or is restored after a syncO-
pal state Of brief duration. In the
latter there is profound unconscious
ness, contracted pupil, injected con-
junctive, the skin is hot and usually
dry, the temperature high, the pulse
rapid, and the muscular system often
convulsed and tending rather to rigid
ity. II the case be one of heat.ex-
haustion the patient will probably be
able to swallow. Rspose in the shade,
in recumbent position, and few
drops Of laudanum in n tablespoonful
OF whisky or brandy will quickly
bring about restoration. In the case
of true heat.stroke the patient should
be at once removed TO as cool a spot
rs practicable, and should have cold
water thrown on hin, be rubbed with
pieces Of ice applied to the head aud
spine. Other medical remedies, NOR
phine, quinine and chloroform are
recommended. - Medical News.

Polygamy is a disgrace which is real

ANTS As A MARKETABLE CoMMoD.
TY. seems that in many parts of
the province Of Canton the orange
trees are injured hy certain worms,
aud to rid themselves from these pests
the inhabitants import ants from the
neighboring hills. The hill people
throughout the Summer and Winter
find nests Of two species of ants, red
and yellow, suspended from the
branches of various trees. The "or-
ange and breedere" are provided with
pig or goat bladders baited inside with
lard. The orifces Of these they ap.
ply TO the entrance of the bag like
nests, when the ants enter the blad-
ders, and as DIR. Mcgowan expresses
it, "become a marketable commodity
at the orangeries." The trees are col
onized by placing the ants on their
upper branches, and bamboo rods are
stretched between the different trees,
so as to give the ants easy access to
the whole orchard. This remedy has
been in constant use at least since
1910, and probably dates from a much
earlier period.

Montana is among the localities
that are enjoying an exceptional pros
perity at this time. In Helena there
is Il genuine boom in real estate spec.
ulation. Land that could have been
bought IN that vicinity few weeks
ago for ten dollars an acre can not be
obtained now for a hundred. Three
new banks have been started in the
town within a period of four months.
One cause of all this excitement is
the rapid progress in the construction
of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and
the conviction that Helena is so favor
ably situated that it must reap the
benefit of much Of the traffic and
commercial development that are ex.
pected to follow. The town will be
nearly midway between several i'm
portant trade centres. IL is distant
from Chicago 1865 miles; from San
