"An American who has passed much
time in Italy tells u.s." says letter from

great numbers of them have nothing tc
eat but roasted chestnuts and that they
suffer keenly from the cold IN winter
from which they have no suitable pro

1.-THE true inwardness," says the Mad
& Express, "of the Montana election is
beginning to come out. Last year, when
Mr.. Carter ran for territorial delegate to
Congress, hismajority was 5,126. His
opponent was w. A. Clark, one of the
four great Democratic millIonaires OF
Montana, and his defeat was said to be
due, in some degree, to the jealousy-and
opposition of the other three members
Of the quartette. This year the four
came together and made deal. Clark
and Hauser were to go to the Senate,
Broadwater's friend Maginnis was to go
to the House of Representatives, and
DAILY was appointed chairman of the
Campaign Committee and boss AS
the returns began to come in, it was
pretty clear that last years figures were
likely to be repeated. But Hauser con-
trolls many railroad laborers, and DAILY
controls many miners. The returns
from the precincts where these voted
were held back until it was found how
many Democratic votes were needed to
turn the scale, and then they were put
in solid. The now notorious Homestake
Tunnel precinct was returned as having
cast 179 out of 1873 votes for the straight
Democratic ticket. In this instance,
however, the Democrats overreached
themselves, for the Republicans pro-
duced affidavits that showed that scores
of Republican ballots had been cast
there, instead of only four; and the can
vassers were compelled to throw out the
vote of that precinct. 1t is now pretty
we'll settled that the Republican candi-
date for Representative in Congress is
elected. and a Republican majority OF
the Legislature; and it seems altogether
probable that the Republican candidate
for Governor is elected, too"

In the ears, sometimes roaring, buzz

exceedingly disagreeable and very COM
men disease. Loss of smell or hearing
also result from catarrh. Hoods Sar-

peculiarly successful remedy for this dis
ease, which it cures by purifying the
blood. If you suffer from catarrh, try

Your billions of Anoestnr.-

Did you ever think how many male and fe-
male ancestors were required to bring YOU
into the worldl First, 1t was necessary that
you should have father and mother That
makes two human beings Each of them
must have had father and mother. That
makes four more human beings. Again, each
Of them must have had father and mother,
making eight more human beings. So on we
go back to the time of Jesus Christ, lifty-six
generations. The calculation thus resulting
shows that 1S9, ,935 Oh, ,4s9 534, ,076 births must
have taken place to bring you into this world
you who read these linesl All this since
the birth Of Christ-not since the beginning
of time According to Proctor, if from a
single pair, for 5000 years, each husband and
wife had married at 21 years of age and there
had been no deaths, the population Of the
earth would be ,, 199,915 followed by IA
ciphers. 1t would require to hold this popu-
lation number Of worlds the size Of this,
equal to 3,l66,526 followed by l25 ciphers.

Trlbes of Telrn del Fnero.

An English missionary who for many
years labored among the tribes Of Terra del
Fuego, read a paper before the German Sci
entifie association Of Santiago, in which,
among many new and interesting items, he
gives the following: The people usually 20
naked, save for a small skin thrown over the
shoulders, but they smear their bodies with a
mixture Of train oil and red earth as pro.
lection against cold. They support them
selves, as a rule, by hunting, and when all
other supplies fail they sustain themselves by
feeding on shell FISH. This diet is very apt
to cause indigestion, to cure which they RELY
on fungus. They are nomadic in their habits,
moving about from place to place in bark
canoes, in the center of which fire is always
burning Each canoe contains a family, the
wife rowing, while the husband is always on
watch with his javelin.
Three different kinds of spears are always
carried, one for birds, a second for fish, and
a third for crabs. On landing woman has
first of all to carry her husband ashore, he
holding the fire carefully above water. When
everything is ashore the woman at once be-
guns the erection OF their primitive hut. The
men are rarely able to swim, but the women
are, without exception, expert swimmers
and this, together with their constant work
y
lar power. To maintain their position as
lords Of creation the men have recourse to
mysterious rites, from which the women are
excluded Polygamy is practiced to the ex-
tent Of each man usually having two wives
an older and a younger one.
Without writing of any kind, they yet pre-
serve many rules and customs, more or less
traditional, and mainly relating to the chase. |
They are good natured and helpful, not ad- |
dicted to lying or theft, but are very tena- |
eious in the defense Of their rights They |
love long stories and conversations, and in /
these good part Of their time is spent One
of their tales, of an extraordinarily strong /
man who was made Of stone, and ultimately |
was killed by thorn entering vulnerable /

dale, Pa, told the following story to Phila-
delphia Press reporter of a very remarkable
experience of an American sailor with a
whale. He SAYS: George Leonard. an acting
master in the United States Navy during the
civil war, and stationed on board the gun
boat Katahdin, West Gulf hlockading squad
ron, in 1868, told a story Of heroism, and ex-
hibited marks on his body that corroborated
his words. The year 1850 found Leonard as
one Of the crew ON the ship Enterprise. a
whaler in the North Pacific
One day he was stationed in the bow of a
whaleboat a long distance from the ship. with
brave crew who had sighted whale and
made for the monster with all possible dis
patch. When within proper distance Leon
ard thew his harpOon, striking the fish hard
and deep In some manner the line as it was
running out caught the body of one of the
men in such way as to throw him over
board. The man suddenly sank, whereupon
Leonard transferred his line to a boatmate
and sprang into the ocean in aid of the drown
ing sailor.
The whale, now maddened by his fast flow
ing blood, made a rush for the boat. Re
markable and horrible to relate. Leonard's
LIlenu nau managed TO regain the boat while
he himself was caught by the whale between
his jaws his position being inside the mon
sters mouth, with nothing protruding but
one Of his arms. In this manner the man was
in reality within the jaws of death itself.
The whale instantly plunged down into the
deep, and, in the words of Leonard himself.
the fish seemed to be going down, down into
eternity itself"
The imprisoned man, after all this had not
lost his presence of mind. He mustered his
entire bodily strengthened he was a power
full man-actually bracing himself in such a
position as to compel the fish to spread his
jaws At the same time, with his arm that
was free, he grabbed the sheath knife out of
its socket, cutting right and left. No sooner
was there sufficient opening made than
Leonard forced his body outside
