on an average about six inches

OUR LAMENTAyION.

The days Of our greatest ma
tional purity were when the
various otf.ces of trust sought
out from among the people, men,
who held themselves tn the true
principle that every personal
consideration must yield to the
public good; when officeholders
and the public press we're, in
TACT, the guardians CT the public
interests when the kiss If the
judas n politics, by some fel-
low seeking 1 fat o,i &c, would
have received he just anathemas

the "kisser'' sent up "Salt Riv-
err" to climes more congenial to
such characters, When honesty
was worth one hundred and five
cents On The dollar, in the
government service then and
there was laid the foundations Of
what God and nature intended
to be the greatest nation and
the most SECURE constitutional
government in the universe.
However, lest it be understood
that while we are not among the
number of those who are long,
ing for the good old days of the
gonehy, when women broke the
hemp and epun and wove it IN
to cloth, out Of which the BOYS,
OF ten years or more, received
gowns reaching below the knees,
and were called dressed, Yet
we do feel to say, that a little of

present guardians # public in

pressure. As to the remedy, we
are not Of the opinion that rash
measures, such as are advocated
by some, will prove salutary,
but that it is in the power Of the
educators, the pulpit and the
pfess, of the land to create such
y rnighy current of right public
sentiment, which will lie strong
enough to turn the coed ship of
state up stream, giving her from
ten to twenty knots per hour.

A YEAR OF EDUCATION.
The People Are Learning the
Value OF Properties.

People are learning some les.
sons in political economy in
these peculiar times. One is
that there are two kinds OF
property-real property and i'm
aginary. Real property is some
thing that the owner can use for
his own benefit or that somebody
else wants to buy of him. I'M
aginary property is something
which brings in no benefit to
the owner; which nobody will
buy, but which the owner hof es
somebody will want at some fus
ture time, There is lots of this
latter kind of property lying
about all over the country, in
the shape OF town lots, stocks,
bonds, untitled lands, unoccu-
pied buildings and improbable
railways. No doubt a great
deal of it will some day change
into real property, but just at
present the owners of it find it
to be a burden instead Of actual,
realizable wealth.-Northwest

PREHISTORIC GIANTS
Thirteen CHASTITY Skeletons
Found in a Small Village.
UNDER A HOTEL FLOOR
Discovered by P. L. Bower
man, of Tennessee,

While excavating for d celia
under the Hotel de Mooashin,
at Waneta one day last week
I, l. Bowermaa, the proprieto,
OF The institution with the ro.

historic graveyard. Up to date
10 indian skeletons with thei,
trappings have been dug out oi
the bank of sand. Mr.. Bower.
man Is confident that his find is
v,''I worth as much as a gold mine.
ihe vein is fifty feet wide" a
friend of his said facetiouslv
"and runs well in skulls and
bones, besides the quaint and
curious weapons Of a forgotten
age"
Many years have passed since
a large race of people inhabited
the north country, and the skel-
etons, when placed together care
FULLY, are from seven to eight
feet in height. Further proofs
OF the existence of a large and
powerful class is furnished bv
the skulls, which are massive.
One jaw bone measured six
inches across and the rest of the
head is in proportion. That
particular head has but seven
teethsand never had any more
than that, In others the laws
are furnished with full sets OF
teeth. One mans chin is fear
fully deformed, twisted and
gnarled and bent down almost
to his collar bone.
Crude skinning knives of jas
per and onyx were also in the
graves. They are thick and
heavy, except at the end, which
takes a highly polished edge and
eemes to a sharp point. The
stone is a beautiful blue. clear
and transparent. Then there
are arrow and spearheads, flints,
bone needles and a lot of copper
plate, whose use no one has been
found who knows. Another
feature of the collection is a SER
les of horn musical instruments,
fitted with stops like a clarinet.
They were found by the sides of
the skeletons, indicating that
the graveyard may have been
set apart to the musical organ
izations of that crude period.
Then there were lot of war
clubs of polished stone, rudely
carved. They carry hieroglyph-
ical mottos on the smooth faces
near the ends, and are wonder
full curiosities. The stone in the
clubs, like the knives, is trans
parent, exceedingly hard and
difficult to break. In every in
stance the disintegrated fingers
of hand were found near the
weapons.
The graveyard is at the con-
fluence of two streams, and the
graves are from 10 to II feet
deep. The formation is sand,
and every foot of the ground has
been located as placer property
by the Kootenai Hydraulic Min
ing Company. 1t has always
been customary for the Indians
to select place where waters
meet for burial spot, custom
which, it is not improbable,
came down from ages past.
The finder of the CHASTITY relics
is almost as peculiar as his find.
He is an old mountaineer from
eastern Tennessee. When the
boys learned where he came
from they dubbed him "Mcon-
shine" and his real name was
known to but few. So when he
built his hotel he named it the
Hotel de Moonshine. 1t has
two rooms, one upstairs, and one
down, but the proprietor is such
a large hearted man, that it is
related of him that he never al
lowed a guest to depart dissatis-

Bismarok,s Advice to Students.

Only now, and in roundabout way,
via Bonn, has the text of the speech
which Prince Bismarck made at the re-

The prince confessed that at the univer-
sity he neglected study, but added: "The
only thing that am sorry for on look
ing back to those times is that l could
not later on make up for what had neg
lected then. What one has learned aft
erward does not remain so firmly in ones
memory. l do not dissuade you from
working, but I am not Mortified if my
sons commit studentlike excesses, and
above all things believe that the stu
dents life in corporations has this ad-
vantage-that it somewhat steels the
character by subjecting each to the crit
icism of his comrades. This is a great
thing. AS long as one belongs to cor.
poration, to the opinion of which one at

How to Live if You wish to Live Long.

Aside from the very important and
controlling influence of inheritance, of
diet and of temperate habits, the points
to be learned from the few statistical
data attainable are that longevity is pro-
NOTED by quiet, peaceful life in re-
tired and rural community, where there
is freedom from nervous strain and wor-
rying and excessively laborious toll. The
business man, with increasing cares and
responsibilities, the mill operative toll
ing hard to keep together the souls and
bodies of himself and his family, the
politicians, the hardworking professional
men, are not the chief contributors to
the centenarian ranks. DR.. Holyoke in
