BARBARIC SPECTACLE.

Last Friday number of Neg
Perez Indians passed through town
ON their way to the Occur d Alene
mission with squaw who had been
crushed by horse falling on her
the evening before. The horse had
rolled over the woman, bruising her
head in a fearful manner, and
breaking several ribs and one leg,
and she was being taken to the
medicine man for repairs. The
party had left the reservation that
morning and arrived in Moscow
about noon. She was carried on .
canvass stretched between two poles
attached to pack saddles on horses
which followed each other with just
room enough between to let the
woman's head miss the horses
heels when it walked and so that
the horse following would not ait
her feet with it's knees. There was
no cover over the woman and the
hot sun boiled down in her face I'M
til she was almost persisted from
heat and tdirst. Several physicians
examined her and decided that
there was no hope as the injuries
were fatal on account of the length
of time since the accident and the
care taken of her. The scene was
one which could not help but inn
press those who had seen it with
the barbarity of the aborigines.--

PECULIARITIES OF RR. RAILS

Extremes of heat and cold cause
no end of trouble to railroad men
by causing the rails to shrink and
expand or Crawl" as they usually
express it. by the varying temper
ature. Section Foreman J. j. Smith
of the Spokane & Palouse says that
the hot weather during the past
few days has started his track
crawling so that he has had to cut
some 80 inches at various times
during the past three or four days
where the rails butt up against the
0. r. & N. crossing. During the
time that Mr.. Connolly was in
charge of this section he estimated
that he had cut off about 10 feet
by bits, at the same place. The
rails apparently push down hill,
for in the winter time when the
cold weather contracts the rails it
is necessary to replace the amount
cut off during the summer and this
splicing is done in this instance on
the top of the grade more than a
half mile from where it was cut off.
Another remarkable phenomenon
is noticeable says Mr.. Smith. The
right hand rail erawIs the fastest
toward the way you are facing NO
matter which way you may be 60
ing. That is the case of the s. &
P, whose general course is north
and south, the east rail crawls north
and the west rails crawl south, gen.

served by the position of the joints

THE MYSTERY OF HAND
WRITING

Why 10 it that people smile in
such q skeptical way when the art
of interpreting character by hand
writing is referred to? In practice
everybody believes in it, just as in
practice everybody believes in the
science of physiognomics. When
we see youth with a hard, staring
eye, a mouth like the slot in let
ter box, and a complexion that
shows the paleness of late hours
struggling in motley patches for
mastery with the fictitious glow of
health impaired by spirits, we do
not need tt converse with the young
gentleman to assign him mentally
to a place among the corner laafers
who help our police judges to earn
their salary. His character is
written in his face so that he who
runs may read
Now here is J. Harrington Keene,
known to penmen as "Grapho," who
undertakes to set forth "rhe Mys-
teries of Handwriting" 80 that the
msrest tyro can read the character
of stranger like an open book.
The preliminaries are important.
It is wise for the ''graphologist" to
begin by inquiring the sex of the
writer, for, as the author justly says,
lit is liable to place the operator in
very ludicrous position" to make
a mistake on fundamental point
like this. which seems to be more
difficult than the reading of char,
acter, It would be unkind to sug-
gest that the difference is simply in
the greater defniteness of the test.

KILLING SQUIRRELS.

There are many things done by
scientific men in our colleges and
otherwise that it 10 difficult for an
uneducated man to see the prac-
tical utility of, hence there often
times comes to be sort of aversion
among farmers against what is
termed book farming" 1t is often
quite too true that such points are
quite too we'll taken against the
practical application of theories
propoundsd by such men, for after

all, the living question is, will II
pay. But, if it were not for these
men of theories, we would be trudg-
ing along in the old way our grand
fathers did, with many things i'm.
possible that We now do easily and
enjoy SO much.
When | was at Pullman last
week Professor Piper, at the agri-
cultural college, was very willing
to show me his work and among
other things about native diseases
among squirrels" I was quite in
clined to pass along rapidly as l
wanted to see Professor Spillman
about the dairy and Professor Full
mer about sugar beets and the like
what did l care about native
diseases of the SQUIRREL"
But when Professor Piper ex-
planned to me that some of these
diseases could be made to run as
an epidemic among the squirrels,
bG incubation it dawned on my
mind at once that this was the best
way to destroy this pest. He had
aseertained that some of the dis
eases were of that character and
some not and I think he said that
some of the germs that he showed
would propagate a deadly disease
among them. By trapping few
and inoculating and turning them
loose among their fellows in differ
ent places, whole districts of coun-
try can be soon rid of this pest.
To study the habits of squirrel
would seem like an idle pastime,
but when it comes to a matter of
this kind to compass their destruc-
ton, everything pertaining to them
becomes important.
I was surprised to hear from Pro
fessor Spillman that squirrels fed
upon the carcasses of their dead
fellows and hence the spread of dis
ease among them is quite easy. So,
while experience is a good school,
yet theory, or "book learning" is a
potent factor leading up to better
methods, more profitable results
and is beneficial to the human race.

prejudice against wasting good
paper? If there is a downward
cant of the lines, insanity is surely
threatened" But a more prosaic
explanation might be that the pa
per was twisted awry.
If the handwriting is large, we
should infer "a person of simple and
proud nature" Why not infer
early training as a sign painter?
A small hand is 1.-The sign ola subtle
mind, capable of great concentra-
ton and appreciativeness and of
diplomatic power" We hope for
the sake of eyesight that this doc
trine will not be generally dissem-
mated. What an easy way to learn
diplomacy Vertical writing shows
"a cold, Indifferent nature"-what
a frost there will be when the school
children now studying that style
grow up-but, if the curves are
round and flowing, it shows a man
ly and dignified nature. For the
back handed writer, however, there
is no hope. The very name of it is
against him. Il have never found
back handed writer, no matter
how apparently good the character
has been in actual life, to be abso-
lutely trustworthy and sincere"
Very much slope forward, though,
indicates "a very impressionable
nature" Very; tradesmen's bills
come in envelopes addressed that
way. IF the writing be thick and
blurred, sensual nature is certain
~ indicated" Also, that the writer
is using stub pen and the vile ink
which is most common nowadays
and which turns to mud when ex-
posed to the air"
There are a few rules not set
down here which are of value in
reading character. If a person is
gifted with ten thumbs and has q
tendency to upset coffee into peo-
pies laps, his handwriting will re-
quire an interpreter. If he is in
the habit of splitting ink over things
he is probably of g careless or ner-
vous temperament. A shower of
small blots shows the habitual use
of fountain pen.
The truth is, that writing shows
character just 40 any habitual act
shows character, and no more. And
it 10 only in the general impression
that the secret ofcharaeter is found;
the moment one tries to put his
finger on q particular invariable
factor it vanishes. Benevolent
people write back-handed; hard
hearted wretches slope their writ
ing the other way. Stupid dolts
write in microscopic hand which
no one can read, and statesmen
write in great famboyant scrawl.
Those who do other things neatly
and easily usually write a clear
hand, but sometimes manual dex-
terity exhausts itself in this spec
ialty. Genius may write az badly
as Horace Greeley, or as clearly as
Edgar Allan Poe. There il no sub
stantial rule, and "graphology"
must be ranked with phrenology
among the pseudo sciences based on
subtratum of truth.-Springfeld
