Snow Produces Thurst.

1t would be in order for some medi-
cal man or scientist to explain why
eating snow does not satisfy the thirst.
Sometimes travellers in very cold dis
tricts during winter, finding all the
water frozen up, eat snow to relieve
thirst, and almost Immediately COM
mence to suffer ten times worse than
before. Sucking ice affords relief in
the most extreme cases, but eating
snow invariably either increases or
produces thirst.
What makes this still more strange
is that melted snow produces the pur-
est and most satisfying drinking water.
Residents in the suburbs and the
country frequently shovel their cisterns
full of snow during extremely cold
spells, and their cistern water is very
much improved in flavor thereby. l
have heard the question discussed
several times, but never came across a
reasonable explanation OF this appar-
ent anomaly, though | have never
heard any attempt made to dispute
the facts as stated.

MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.
Regular Army Rscruits Being Forwarded to
Western Regiments and the Pacific
Coast.

CHICAGO, Dec. ga Washington
special says: There are some facts
that point strongly to the probability
of war. The war department is for
warding recruits in squads of forty to
fifty as rapidly as possible to fill and
complete the regiments in the far west
and on the Pacific coast.
General Schofield said 10000 men
are available to be sent out OF coun-
try, but no more could be spared
from the regular army. Gun carriages
are being shipped to San Francisco in
sections, and guns will follow at an
early date. General Schofield has
been twice summoned before the cab
met, and has given it as his opinion
that if 10000 men are sent out of the
country it will be quite possible to fill
their places in the regular army at
home by temporary enlistments from
the militia, a certain quota of regulars
equipped for actual service to be
called for from each state. In case
10000 men transported to Chill
should not be enough, the president
may call for 10000 volunteers for
year.

A Great Head.

The owner OF the biggest head in the
world is not politician and does not
even live in a very big city. Heis LOTUS
Jones Parker, of Louisiana avenue,
Washington, d. C., is forty-eight years
of age and is highly respected man
and citizen. Mr.. Parker's Uranium is
thirty-two inches, or nearly a yard in
circumference, while the ordinary
mans is but twenty or twenty-ons
inches in glrth. The story is told in
the national capital that when Mr..
Parker was twenty-eight years old
three prominent physicians, believing
MIN to be destined to an early end,
offered to maintain him handsomely
as long as he lived for the privilege OF
making an autopsy thereafter. MIR.
Parker has lived twenty years in ex-
cellent health to thegreat discontinue
of the medical men. They are said to
believe that he has twin brain, but
his mental processes seem not differ
ent to those of his fellows.

Almost, But Not Quite.

Portland Oregonian: Senator Cor
man says that Montana is almost
Democratic. The senator should
know that Montana has drifted from
Democratic moorings and may be re-
garded as 8 "sure" state for the Re-
publican candidates in 1892. The
influx of people from other states has
made Montana Republican. The state
voted in 1888 and 1889, when Thos.
III. Carter carried it each time by sub
stantial majorities over such popular
Democrats as Clark and Maginnis
Montana went Democratic last year
by a plurality OF 2S3, but party
strength was not plainly tested then.
The state is well pleased with this ad-
ministration, which has made Mr..
Carter commissioner OF the general
land office, this being the first time
the Office was conferred on any one
west of the Mississippi.

in the American Economist: i am in
favor OF a protective policy: L. Be-
form market to our producers at a
cost which is Insignificant in compari-
son with the benefits it confers. 2.
Because it tends to multiply the in
dustries for which our country is well
fitted, and this is vast advantage to
our workingmen. 3. Because by the
multiplication of industries in a ma
ton where they would not otherwise
exist, there is an increase OF competi-
ton and thus a diminution in the
price of commodities, making thereby
an advantage to all consumers.

No More Trade Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The CONVEX
sion OF trade dollar bullion into stand
ard silver dollars was completed to-
day. The coinage of standard silver
dollars is therefore at an end unless
change is made in the policy of the
treasury department through con-
gressional enactment or otherwise.
The director of the mint said this
afternoon that while he was not au-
thorized to speak of the future silver
policy of the department, he thought
there was scarcely any doubt that
the coinage of standard silver dollars
will be continued at the San Francisco
and Carson City mints in amounts
sufficient to meet the necessities of the
service. He estimated this at $780,
600 a month for each mint.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1891-12-31

The alleged antagonism of interest
between farmers and manufacturers is
a favorite hobby with those whose
partiality for foreign trade leads them
to advocate privileges for outsiders
that are necessarily beyond the reach
of citizens in this country. The rapid
increase of urban populations dis
closed by our late census has been
seized upon as corroborating evidence
and made to do duty in disparaging
the policy of protection for those
home industries without which large
non-agricultural communities could
not be sustained.
By some popularity of logic never
yet made plain, farmers are urged to
discourage aggregations of population
in this country as inimical to their
believe will be enhanced by building
up the population and trade of for
eign cities to the detriment of those
nearer home.
1t would seem that no voter with
intelligence enough to be a good farmer
could be deceived by such a claim.
He needs but to glance at official sta
tistics to find that more than three
fourths of all the grains and meats he
sells are taken and paid for by these
very people whom he is asked to be-
lieve are the chief impediment to his
greater prosperity. He has but to
draw upon Individual experience for
proof that many products OF his farm
that could not by any possibility be
gotten into a remote market find
ready buyers in such towns as are
within reach, and command all the
better prices by reason OF their per-
ishable nature.
Such facts, within the observation
OF every man who cares to look at
them, point to q conclusion diametri-
Cally opposite to that urged by the
advocates of foreign free trade. The
farmer must have a market for his
surplus crops, or he must discontinue
raising more than can be consumed at
home. Prices for what goes upon the
market are so largely determined by
the trade law of demand and supply
that his interest necessarily lies in
having the largest possible number of
buyers of such things as he has to sell,
with as few competitors as may be in
supplying the existing demand.
Evidently, then. if by legislation or
from other cause the millions who are
now engaged in some work other than
farming should be thrown out OF em-
ployment, or have their incomes ma
terlally reduced by foreign ncompetition,
many of them would probably resort
to farming free traders say that is
what they ought to be doing nowj, or
at best their ability to buy what
farmers have to sell would be seriously
impaired. Hence it follows that no
other class of voters have equal inter
est with farmers in adding to the
number of factories and keeping the
contingent of buyers of agricultural
products at the highest attainable
point of efficiency for purchase and
consumption.

Divided Democracy.

Baltimore Americans: 1t was Gen.
eral Grant who said: "rhs Democratic
party can always be depended upon
to do the wrong thing at the right
time" The split over the speakership
means division of presidential forces.
1t means jealousy and contention
throughout the session of congress.
And it means Republican success IN
the country in 1892 and 1898.
