COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Martin Meddaugh, in a state of des-
pondenCy, Cuts his Throat
from Ear to Ear.

On Tuesday morning of this week
Martin Meddaugh, farmer living
three miles east of this village, told his
family he was going to the back part
of the farm to cut wood. Nothing
more was thought of the matter until
about noon when his son came upon
the body of the father about ten rods
from the house lying upon the face.
A shocking sight was discovered upon
the body when turned. The head was
nearly severed from the body. A
large jack knife was found clinched in
the bloody hands, which showed what
means had been used to do the terrible
deed. No cause is known for the
action, unless dependency of mind.

What the Japs Have Given Us.


They haye given us the beautiful
light bamboo and wickerwork furni-
ture, SO cool, so restful and clean. In
the summer especially it takes the
place of our stutfy, dust catching and
microbe spreading upholstered chairs
and sofas. These heavy, clumsy arti-
ces are a weight on the eyesight and IL
burden to the mind compared to the
light, graceful Japanese couches and
drapery. The Japanese have taught
ia the priceless lesson of letting our
sleeping rooms be rs bare as possible
of all but light and air. "Furniture,'
said a highly cultivated japanese gen
tleman, eve have no furniture or
house decorations such as you think
necessary. We do not furnish our
houses" The cheap and nasty decor
ations, so called, of pasteboard, paper
or bits of silk, dusttraps one and all,
find no place in a Japanese home.
There are light beds, with just enough
covering to keep one warm. There are
bare, polished floors, with rugs, floors
so eXquisitely clean that a japanese
never enters the house with his shoes
ON. The Jap expresses his artistic soul
outdoors III tiowers and gardens.
TO the Japs we owe the soft, COM
Portable flowing. draperies that have
indoors at least taken the place of our
stiff, tight, uncomfortable dress. Even
masculine apparel has felt to some ex'
tent the civilizing influence of Japan.
Japan has given us evergreens, fruits
and chestnuts far superior to our own.
Finally. and if she had bestowed on us
nothing else, we would be her debtor
to the latest day-Japan has given us
the chrysanthemum, now in bloom in
all its yearly glory.

THE TRUE FOUNDATION.

Did you not know that the
very foundation of our American
institutions are iostered and
maintained by the great educa-
tional system of our free schools
and that, without which general
ignorance would prevail and our
citizens would lose their interest
in their country's good, suffering
themselves to be led by the de-
vices of cunning men, who are
always only too willing to use
the ignorance of the masses as a
means to promote partisan'ideas.
1t is also one of the safest anti
dotes to the union of church and
state which result is, and always
will be frought with the most
disastrous consequences TO the
interests of liberty and christian
ity. While it is the privilege
and duty of churches to have
church schools for the moral and
theological training of all who

GOOD ROADS,

The Northwest Magazine gives
the following explanation of what
a system of good country roads
mean to the farming classes:
They would make it possible
for the farmers to take advan-
tage promptly of the highest
markets, no matter at what sea-
son OF the year.
They would save him days
and weeks of time which he
wastes every year wallowing
through the disgusting mire of
dirt roads.
They would reduce to mini
mum the, wear and tear on wag-
ons and carriages.
They would lessen the expense
of keeping horses in working or
der, and fewer hoyes would be
required in tie country to per-
form the farmers work.
They would require less to
keep them in repair than do the
dirt roads.
They would make it easier for
a team to pull several tons over
their smooth surface than to
draw a wagon through the mud.
They would afford ready com
munication with the outside
world at all times rf the year.

A HOME MARKET.

We understand that our Coun-
ty fathers have declared that
$4,000 is sufficient to build the
Elk City branch Of the state
wagon road, and will therefore
not further burden the taxpay-
ers of Idaho County by adding
to that amount. Having never
been over the proposed route, we
cannot speak personally as to
the probable cost of its construc-
ton; but of one thing we are
morally certain, that is, the road
ought to be built by some one.
Idaho County can never be what
it ought to be until her mineral
resources are thoroughly devel
oped. If this road was eomplet-
ed and all the paying mines
reached by it were being worked
we could have no better market
for our surplus products than
these mines. Markets for isol-
ated sections are not obtained
without expense to the early
pioneer. Build the road some
way, if no other, build a toll
road.

WHAT MAKES AN HOUR?

~
Why is the hour divided int,
sixty minutes, each minute int
seconds, etc2 Simply and solely
because in Babylonis there ex
isted, by the side Of the decimal
system OF -ations, another sys
tenn, the aexagesimal, which
counted by sixties. Why thai
number should have been chcs
IN is clear enough, but it speaks
we'll for the practical sense oi
hose ancient Babylonian mel
chants.
There is no number which ha
50 many divisors as sixty. TIL
sabylonians divided the sun's
laily journey into twenty-four
oarasangs, or 720 stadia. Eacl
9arasang or hour was subdivid-
d into sixty minutes. A para
sang is about German mile and
the Babylonian astronomers
compared the progress made by
The sun during one hour at the
time OF the equinox to the prog
ress made by good walker dur
ing the same time, both accom-
plishiDg one parasang.
The whole course of the sun
Turing the twenty-four equinoc-
tial hours was fixed at twenty
four parasangs, or 720 stadia, or
800 degrees. This system was
handed on to the Greeks, and
Hippalchus, the Greek philoso
oher, who lived about 150 B. G..
introduced the Babylonian houl
in Europe.
Ptolemy, who wrote aboul
$50 A. D., whose name still
ives in that Ptolemic system OF
astronomy, gave still wider cur
rency to the Babylonian way Of
reckoning time.
1t was carried along on the
iuiet stream of traditional
Snowledge through the middle
ages, and, strange to say, it
sailed down safely over the
Niagara of the French revolu-
ton. For the French, when
revolutionizing weights, meas
ures, coins and dates, and sub
jecting all to the decimal system
of reckoning, were induced by
some unexplained motive to
respect our clocks and watches,
and allow our dials to remain
sexagesimal, that is, Babylonian,
each hour consisting of sixty
minutes.
Here you see again the Won
derful conference Of the world,
and how what we call knowledge
is the result of an unbroken ira
dition of a teaching descending
from father to son. Not more
than about 100 arms would
reach from us to the builders of
the palaces of Babylon and en-
able us to shake hands with the
founders of the Oldest pyramids.
