NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.

The Sign Manual Of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.
There is born with every one Of Us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable mark
or marks, which absolutely distinguish
each one of us from every other fellow
being. These physical marks never
change from the cradle to the grave
This born autograph is impossible to
counterfeit, and there is no duplicate of
it among the teeming pillows in the
world Look at the insides Of your
hands and the soles of your feet; closely
examine the ends Of your fingers. You
see circles and curves and arches and
whorls, some prominent with deep cor
rugations, others minute and delicate,
but all a we'll defined and closely traced
pattern. There is your physiological
signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger nails on a piece Of clear
glass. You see all the delicate tracing
transferred-not two fingers alike; even
''the left hand knoweth not what the
right hand doeth." They are distinctly
different Even twins may be so little
different in size, features and general
physical condition as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, yet their finger autographs
are radically different
In fact, in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers and
his wrinkled hand Of decrepit old age
the identical curves, arches and circles
that were born with him. Nothing ex-
cept ACKNOWLEDGMENT can obliterate or
Disguise them Criminals may burn and
scar their hands, but nature, when she
restores the cutiole, invariably brings
back the natal autograph. louisville

The Interesting Results OF the Study Of q
Frogs Tiny Muscle.
The young man who has had the
priceless experience Of self abandonment
to some happily chosen point was well
illustrated in q man knew, writes G.
Stanley Hall In The Forum. With the
dignity and sense of fnality Of the
American senior year quick within him
his first teacher in Germany told him
to study experimentally one of the II
muscles of frogs leg. The mild dis
sipation of a somewhat too prolonged
general culture, aided by some taste for
breezy philosophic speculation, almost
diverted him from SO mean an object.
But as he progressed he found that he
must know in a more minute and prac-
tical way than before-in way that
made previous knowledge seem unreal
certain definite points in electricity,
chemistry, mechanics, physiology, etc.,
and bring them to bear in fruitful rela-
ton to each other. AS the winter pro-
eeeded the history Of previous views
was studied and broader biological re-
lations seen, and as the summer wared
and second year was begun in the
study Of this tiny muscle it was seen
that its laws are the same in frogs and
men; that just such contraetile tissue
had done all that man had accomplish
ed in the world, and that muscles are
the only organs of the will. AS the
work went on many Of the mysteries Of
the universe seemed to enter in his
theme. In the study Of this minute OBJ
ject he gradually passed from the atti-

The Way Of Long Twilight,


On first thought it seems to Be q
rather paradoxical statement that the
nearer we approach to the equator the
shorter is that intermediate stage or
transition from day to night and from
night to day, which we call twilight. !"
This being the case, however, the period
of duration of ''the dim, uncertain
light" in all tropical countries is very
short when compared With that Of coufis
tries of high northern or southern lati-
tude. The explanation is this: On the
equator the SUMS path is at exact right
angles with the horizon. The last beam
Of light fades from view when the sun
is at Is degrees below The horizon.
This l8 degree mark is quickly reached
at the equator for reasons given in the
first sentence Of this explanation. The
farther from the equator we get the less
become the angles which the SUMS
course makes with the horizon, and the
longer the time required for him to
reach the 10 degree mark; hence the
longer the period of twilight st Louis

Turiu0 Mining TUna els.

Acting under instruction from
the Attorney general at Boise City
Mr.. Wann has been assessing tun-
nels on mining claims in this coun-
ty as taxable Improvements. This
is the most Internal outrage eve er
perpetrated under the forms oflaW,
if law it is. 1t is a tax upon en-
terprisc, and a punishment upon
the man who works. The Sta te
must indeed be hard pushed for
revenues when il seeks to fatten
upon the labor of prospectors ard
miners who establish mining camps
in distant mountains and tn us
create taxable wealth where none
existed before.
Hostile legislation has paralysed
the mining industry in Nevada,
and this new and unheard-of pro
position of taxing tunnels is just
the thing to scare away every man
who wants to invest money in mi
uing enterprises in the State o.
Idaho. We did our best and hard

SHAKE ALL ROUND!
HAS PASSED THE HOUSE.
The Reservation Bin Only UI0ifs
the Presidents Signature
to Become Lar.

Hon. j. w. Reid writes us from
Lewiston August Z, as follows:
"a telegram from Congressman
John l.. Wilson announces that
the Nez Perce Treaty has been
pulled through the Conference.
This settles the matter and the
Reservation will soon be open for
settlement"
Other advices state that the
measure had passed the House,
carrying the 100000, as a rider
to the Indian Appropriation Bill.
If this is correct, then the matter
will become law the moment the
President signs the Appropriation
bill. Hurrah for all hands!
The long expected is here at last.
The lands on the reservation will
soon be thrown open to settlement
by proclamation of the President.
1t is grand and great thing for
the Clearwater country, and with
the settlement of these idle lands
this basin will enter upon a growth
of industrial activity such as has
never been witnessed since the
first settlement of the Palouse
country. We can see in the near
future a series of wonderful changes
in the face of this country. New
wagon roads, large railroad mil
age, new towns, and settlements
extending up through the timber
to the very crest of the Bitter Root
and Salmon river mountain ranges;
a revolution of business methods,
with cheaper merchandise and a
cash market for our surplus pro-
ducts; the rapid development of our
tributary mining camps and bound
less forests of timber. Every thing
in the way of civilization and pro-
gress to which we have been look
ing forward for many, many years
is on the eve of realization. There.
fore we say again Shake al
around!
