almost unknown region, the home of the
savage and wild beast, to-day is the
most productive section of the north.

and is the only section west of the Miss.

bra el Red River Valley of the North in
the superior quality of it's cereals. 1t is
tho only agricultural section in the state
O Montana, where crops can be raised
without irrigation. Vegetables of all
kinds are grown il abundance, while
apples, plums, peaches, cherries, pears,
and the small fruits such as strawber.
ries, blackberries, goosebe rles, raspber-
ries are being raised successfully. With
a ready market for all products of the
soil in the rich mineral di tricts to the
east, west a south, the farmers of the
Flathead valley will soon be classsd
among the wealthiest and most infiuen-
tail of this new countr7. Wheat averages
thirty five bushels per acre, oats sixty
bushels, barley forty bushels, rye thirty
bushels, potatoes 400 bushsls, cabbage
ten tons per acre, rutabagas thirty tons

RAISE THE CURTAIN.


Raise the curtain--let the brightness
OF your cheerful light shine forth;
To the passers in the darkness
II may DO of vital worth
Give glimpse TO lonely wanderers
OF your household full of 10Y,
III may rouse to new ambition
Some poor, friendless, tempted boy.
RAISE the curtain-we are kindred
Each to all is bound by ties
Which forbid "A selfish shutting
Of ourselves from others eyes;
Share your light and share your blessipga
God hath made the whole world kin.
And His love so universal
Takes the weakest sinner in.
Raise the curtain of your window,
Raise the curtain of your mind;
do not let possessions make you
To the wants of others blind.
Helping others we are strengthened,
Giving we are richer made;
And no one so strong or patient
But some timc hath need of aid.

Topics reminds me OF an even more
novel device that came to my knowl-
edge some years ago. A Philadel-
phia physician was attacked by the
most seductive craze, the collectors
mania for beetles and bugs.
After this had been going on for
some years and the result had be-
como one OF the finest collections OF
Coleoptera anywhere extant, he began
to find that the mad desire for very
rare specimens to fill up the occa-
sional gaps in his otherwise per-
feet series OF creeping things was too
great drain on his exchequer. TO
DO sure. he was u bachelor, under
rather light expense and already
blessed with fair inheritance. Then.
too he had built up considerable
practice In that branch of medicine
which he described as leading man
at baby matinees" STILL rare bugs
come high and he could not afford
the continual drain.
just at this juncture some one seems
to have hit upon II very novel expedi-
emit. Whether the fertile brain be-
longed to the doctor or to young
friend scion OF one of Philadelphia's

ever that may be- the interes. of the
story hinges on the fact that certain
rare beetles came In from South Africa
the Kimberly diamond fields in fact
nicely packed in raw cotton, and
some OF the largest of these were most
unaccountably heavy. While the outer
anatomy was OF most interest to tho
doctor who valued these rare speci-
mems as such. the inner anatomy ap-
peared to be OF far greater interest to
his friend.
A careful investigation. am told. re-
suited in demonstrating the fact that
the added weight in these specimens
was due to a certain undigested mineral
sub lance that was found in the alb
dominal cavities of some OF the larg-
est specimens. Though these speci.
mems were pronounced to be herbiver-
GUS still when certain cutting and
polishing processes were finished
heard that these mineral substances
were found to be 'of good color and
the first water" Whether this meth
