Mechanical skill does not seem to
be altogether confined to the human
family of animals. Many of the low
or order of animals seem to possess
quite as high degree of mechanical
skill as man. We call it instinct in
the lower orders because it seems to
be Unborn with them; while in man
1T is an acquired knowledge and
reached only by progressive degrees.
The animal and the insect perform
their first mechanical work without
model or instruction, and their first is
as perfect as their last, They have
no "scabs" in their communities.
The relation between human reason
and animal instinct is so nearly allied
that the line of demarkation cannot
be readily pointed out.

Biggest Strawberries Ever Grown,
Boise City Democrat

Mr.. Rust, the nurseryman, who
brought in those large straw berries
last week, sold two boxes lquarts) to
a gentleman from Iowa, who sent
them back there to let denizens OF
that country know what can be
grown here in tho way of strawber-
ries. They were packed in ice and
sent by express. One of the boxes
full quartz contained just eleven ber-
ries (some of them measuring four
inches aoross) and weighed one
pound and three ounces. Tho
record shows that the largest straw
berries previously grown went thir-
teen to tho quart. Those produced
by Mr.. Rust, on sagebrush land, with
irrigation, thus beat the whole world
in size, and it can DO as truthfully
stated that they also equal it in fla
yor. Reaching Iowa safely those
berries will prove quite an advertise
ment for the climate and soil of Boise
valley.

Free Coinage or Nothing.

The State Silver Convention at
Carson, Nevada, was composed Of
full delegations of representative men
from all the counties in the State,
except Churchill and Lincoln. Many
of the ablest men in both political
parties were present, and the senti-
ment was unanimous for free coinage,
and almost unanimous in requesting
our Senators and Representatives in
Congress to support no other measure.
Mr.. Fitch, who with ex-Congressman
Warner, of Ohio, addressed many
audiences in the South and West last
winter on the silver question, stated
to the convention that it would be
abandoning our allies, the farmers of
the West and cotton planters of the
South, to accept anything less than free
coinage. They want legislation that
will make money plentier and cheap
or, and will derive no benefit from
law that at best can only enhance
the market price of silver bullion p
few cents. Without their assistance
in Congress the silver producing
States are powerless. They are
standing nobly with the miners, and
the miners should not desert them for
a measure that may be of temporary
benefit to them When they are unit
ed they can compel compliance with
their just demands.
