Boise City is just now the dullest

dull for the past two years, oxing
probably To the collapse of tie late

rents and real estate are beginning

The Dublin Explosion.

The effect of the Dublin outrage is
dispiriting on the minds and hopes Of
the Irish people. Nationalist and
English Liberalists see with poignant
regret the object Of their labors for
years imperiled by the work of an un-
known villain. The Tories are chuck
ling glsefully at the good fortune
which has so suddenly and unexpect-
eddy arisen, as it were, to vindicate
their policy of repression toward the
Irish. 1t is to be hoped that neither
Parnellites or anti-Parnellites are
guilty of this treason against their
country; but it's effect in England,
nevertheless, will tell heavily against
their cause and against Liberalist in.

since the Gladstone government ab-
rogated the Crimes act. Balfour's

strongly recommend itself to many

point.-Neo York Press.

the distinction We make between the
right and left hands would be able to
find it.

VALUE OF GEOLOGY.
1t Expands the Mental Horizon and Broad
ems the Mind.

It Expands the Mental Horizon and Broad
the Mind.
Geology, then, in it's broadcast scope
should be taught in our schools and
colleges, and for at least twelve good
reasons.
At the outset we would claim that it
holds equal rank with astronomy or
biology. The former science tells US of
the existence of other worlds than ours,
and gives us some conception Of the i'm
mensity of space. The study of plants
and animals carries an impressive lesson
as to the unity prevailing amid all the
diversity of nature, besides affording
the hope that we may at some time dis
cover the origin of life, since it has al
ready opened the way to an explanation
of the origin of the existing forms Of
life; while the grand outcome of geo.
logical study is that it brings wildly
before the mind the immensely of time,
enabling us to realize that time is only
less than eternity. It also teaches us
that our earth has had history, that
our own race has had a high antiquity;
and thus the contemplation of past geo
logical ages, reckoned by millions Of
years, the fact that our earth is coeval
with the sun in age-all these consider
ations tend to UNNECESSARILY expand our
mental horizon and thus to react in a
way to broaden the mind.
Geology is also the complement of
biology. AS soon as one has mastered
the rudiments of botany and zoology,
and of the distribution of life-formS in
space, the range of his thoughts should
be extended to take in the orderly sue
cession of life in past ages and the evo-
luton of modern specialized plants and
animals from the earlier, generalized
types.-Prof. A. 8. Packard, in Popular
Science Monthly.

IN Germany as well as In this coun-
try the census takers are inquisitive
There they ask the brewers how much
beer they have sold, so as to find out
how much the average person drinks.

2S3 litres; three years ago it was 271
litres. Stuttgart, by the way, has

is no more absurd chapter in the his

of the Democratic party with refer
ence to trusts. Constantly denounc-

Painted Muslin.

For curtains and dresses, painted
Swiss muslin is very mnch in favor. To
paint on muslin the material should be
laid on white wrapping paper and the
paint put on rather thiclzly, lifting it
up to dry so that it will not run. When
dry, outline the edges and put in the
shading. It is not necessary to use
white, as the pale color will do usually;
but if in flower painting it is too dark,
a second coat mixed with Chinese white
can be put on.-Demorest.
