Kalispell is q young and growing city
of over 1000 inhabitants in which the
fist building was erected in May, 1891.

main line of the Pacific extension of the
Great Northern railroad. Several miles

y he construction of a new railroad has
been commenced from the mining CEN
tors Of the state to the immense coal
fields in the northern part of the Flat
head valley, which passing through Kal-
ispell, will give her che ap and direct
communication with Butte, Helena and
all points south, and open q ready mar
ket for products Of the valley, all of
which, from her geographi cal location,
will necessarily center at Kalispell;
while the natural grades from the m mes
and coal fields of the surrounding coun-
try, the cheap and unlimited supply of
fuel, together with the c-eat water
power at her very doors, will make Kal-
ispell the smelling center of this portion
OF the state. Tt is already the supply
point for the army of miners and pros
pectors operating in the North and
South forks and the Kootenai min
ing regions, and with her three
strong national banks, she can have no
rival as the financial center OF the whole
Flathead region.
Accord g to published statistics, no
city Of her size in the United States can
boast OF so fine a system of wat r works
and electric light. The system com.
prisos seven miles OF pire, hydrants at
every street intersection, and pumps
with a capacity equal to those of the

Honesty in Yoruba.

A curious illustration Of the hon
esty of some savage people is given
in the report of recent traveller in
Yoruba, West Africa. He says he
often saw on mat by the roadside
small quantities of maize-four, beam
bread, cooked yams, or other articles
OF food carefully arranged for sale,
while near at hand broken Gala
bash was placed for receipt of cow
ries, which are the currency of the
country. In passing, the men in
his caravan would choose the articles
OF food they desired and put num-
Der of cowrics into the calabash af-
ter consulting among themselves as
to the exact price which they had
paid at the last town or market-shed.
For forty cowries, which is less than
two cents, man could fully satisfy
his hunger, and the hunger of an
African laboring under load for
from fifteen to twenty miles q day
is not to be easily appeased. Itnever
occurred to any of the carriers to un-
derpay or to take anything of which
they did not know the price The
owner of the article was probably a
mile or two away working placidly
at home, while her little commercial
business at the roadside was taking
care Of itself.
In Yoruba water is stored in large
jars near every hut or roadside shed,
and may be had for the asking or
taken freely by the passing traveller.
It is one Of the unwritten laws of the
country that a hungry traveller may
at any time stop at any farm or
field and cook sufficient food from
the standing crops for one meal, but
it would be considered heinous Of
fensc to carry any away with him.
Such honesty would hardly be found
among civilized people. --Geographi-
cal Magazine.

A Rock Foretells the Weather.

According to Roy Meninger, a
traveller who has just returned from
Mexico, there is rock near the
village of Chilpancigno in the Sierra
Madre del Sur that possesses the vir-
tue of foretelling rain twenty-four
hours before it falls. Mr.. Meninger
was incredulous until the rock gave
an exhibition of fitspowers. Itstsands
alone in little valley of great fer
tility, and seems to protrude from the
ground rather than rest upon J is sur
face. 1t is about five feet in height by
ten in length, and it is of a dull
grayish color, the surface being pol
ished and cold to the touch. About
day before the rain comes the rock
takes on rcdish hue, and its tenl-
perature rises to about 60 degrees
Fahrenheit. The heat and color in
crease until rain is prccipitated,
when the rock cools and gradually
rcsumesits original gray. In a thun-
der-storm the stone emits pale
blue light, and there is every indi-
cation that it is charged with cleo
tricity. Local mincralogists say the
heat is from volcanic s6nrce.

What should he doP Even tn

What should he do? Even the
morphine lay scattered upon the
floor. He had but twenty-seven
cents, and his salary was already
overdrawn in order that he might
"shufhe of this mortal COLI with
eclat, and pass to the tomb with
that degree of posthumous glory
which was dearer to him than the
life he had made ready TO resign in
order to acquire it.
But now-he tottered back and
fell upon the bed, quite overcome
by the dread alternative left. He
simply dared not die, unless he could
be buried in style. To be huddled
into pine coffin and shoveled into
an insignificant grave, anyhow, was
simply unbearable. There was,
therefore, but one thing left.
The thought of it wrung from
him groan. of anguish as he lay
PROSTATE.
He must continue to live.
So he did. Three months later,
when suicide had lost it's charms
and beefsteaks were more than pal
atable, one Of his old friends drew
him aside.
II say, old boy, if you want that
shroud and coffin, we've got 'em at
home in our attic. We had to steal
EN-, you know, to cure you."
He heard, he comprehended, and
yet he did not kill this self-confess-
ing criminal. Instead he laughed
long and heartily.
Lets go outand take something"
said he.
His cure was complete. He also
has another best girl now.

Why the Third Finger was Chosen

How many women who fondly
love the golden symbol of their we'd
ding vow know why they wear it on
the left hand. That particular di-
git was chosen because it was be-
lieved by the Egyptious to be direct
ly connected by slender nerve to
the heart itself. And these ancient
worshipcrs of Isis held this finger
sacred to Apollo and sun, and there
fore gold was the metal chosen for
the ring. 4
