In the German army every soldier Is

this is not too much 70 require in a coun-
try where every soldier reads and writ,
and can readily understand map and
compass. In Russia. however. where
nine-tenths of the people cannot read or
write and have lost the faculty of think
ing consecutively, the army cannot teach
the soldier much more than TO move az
with machine. In order TO have force
of good men for picket work aud ad-
vance skirmishing they have adopted
this plan:
Each company sends four of its most

Valuable Insects.

Perhaps there are few substances con
tributed by animals 10 the materia med
lea of greater value or more extensively
beneficial than certain species Of insects.
OF these there are none more highly es-
teemed for medical purposes than those
beautiful, shining, green colored insects
known as blistering beetles, or cantha-
rides. Their corrosive action is so great
that they frequently infame and excori-
ate the hands of those who collect them.
and on this property their chief medici-
nal virtue depends.
They are generally used in the form Of
plasters or ointment, and in cases Of vio-
lent visceral inflammation their exter-
nal use can scarcely be supplied by any
other medicine Tons of these insects
are yearly imported, principally from
southern Europe. Tit-Bits.

A parsonage cat whose favorite seat is
on the study table has found new use
for himself. He watches his masters
pen and occasionally, when the writer is
tired, takes the holder in his mouth. But
his real usefulness is 10 act as a paper
weight. When a sheet is finished and
laid aside, the cat walks gravely TO il
and takes his seat on the paper. As soon
as another is laid aside he leaves the
first and sits down on the second. Some
times, to try him, his master lays down
on different parts of the table sheets in
rapid succession. But "Powhatan"-the
cat-remains seated, shrewdly supposing
that TO be fun, not business. When work
begins anew, the cat seats himself on the
last paper laid down and waits for an
other. Thus he shows that he watches
his masters work, and perhaps thinks it
his duty 10 keep the paper from blowing
away.-St. Nicholas.

AavIce 10 a Would Be Lawyer.

A correspondent asks, How would
you advise young man of moderate
means, desiring to become lawyer, to
proceed?" We would advise him not to
proceed. OF course if he shows signs Of
becoming a good and great lawyer, he
might properly borrow money, make his
way to the bar and repay the loan as he
can. But for most men Of moderate cir
cumstances who seek, as you do. free
legal education" f" our advice is to give up
the idea. There are enough poor law
yers now. There are too many lawyers,
for that matter. Very few can do more
than earn their salt New York Sun.

E,D.r, Keyol,er Shot. IN The Army.

w. r. Prior claims that all the best
revolver shots are in New York. There
are some very good shots IN the army.
There are men in the army who can hit
the size of man at 10 yards, riding a
horse at gallop, every time, with 20
yards interval between figures, and men
that can hit 25-cent piece at 10 yards
with revolver that pulls eight pounds
four shots out Of five. All the best shots
have the arm slightly bent. If Mr.. Prior
will take the trouble TO look around, he
will find men in the United States cav
airy that will throw his New York ex-
perts in the shade.-Cor. Kansas City

Seven Devils Assessment.

Following is the property assessed
by Mr.. Wann this year in the Seven
Devils region. Washington county
has also assessed the same, but the
owners have announced their deter
mination to pay taxes in Idaho coun-
ty, where they naturally belong. The
survey of the boundary line between
the two counties last year left the
matter so plain that there is no longer
the possibility or shadow of doubt
that the Seven Devils country is, every
acre of it, in Idaho county and our
county officials are bound to assert
our rights to our own territory which
the law gives US. AS will be seen,
the property assessed is all patented

Shoshone Journal.
Here is a fair sample of the laws
passed by the last legislature. From
the game law, section 2, on page 1877,
of the last Session Laws, we read as
follows; ''It shall be unlawful for
any person or persons to kill, ensnare
or trap any deer or antelope between
the first day of December and the
first day of September of EACH year,
etc. AS September and December
are in the same year, this makes it
unlawful to kill any deer or antelope
between September and December, but
you may kill deer all the balance of
the year.

Considering that Hubbard assessed

and did not assess the other named

appear that the mine owners are re-

may be, Assessor Hubbard will pro-
ceed right along and sell the mines if
the taxes are not paid.

held a meeting in Harvey's office last
week and made levy of 50 share in
cash, to be paid Immediately, and
SAT share in work, to be paid by
July 1. The company is considering
the plan of not holding to the sur
veyed line from the Jackson place
this way, as it will not cover the
bench east of town, and to keep on
the hillside would be an extra and
useless expense. A drop of 40 feet
can be taken at the jackson place
and still cover all the available land
across the Weiser. This fall will
give power enough, with two-thirds
of the water, to operate machinery
capable of hosting the other third to
high-line ditch above the present
survey and which will be high enough
to cover the larger part of the bench.
