Mount WashinGton's Inhabitants.

Mrs. Annie 7. Slosson has captured
on and les the summit of Mount
Washington insects belonging to no less
than eight hundred and thirty different
species. While many of these species
also live in the valleys below, some
are peculiar TO this mountaln-top and
never leave it, their relatives being
found only in northern Canada and
Labrador. where similar climatic con-
ditions prevail. 1t is an old theory
tlfrt the ancestors of these Mount
Washington insects, as well as certain
peculiar plants found there, came down
from the north in the glacial ages,
and were left behind when the ice dis.

How Streams Rob One Another.

The S~choharie Creek, which in many
parts of the world would be called u
river, rises in the heart of the CatSkill
Mountains and flows northward until
it joins the Mohawk. The Kaaterskill
and T~laaterskill creeks also rise in the
CatSkillS, but flow eastward into the
Hudson. At Il recent meeting of the
Geological Society Of America Mr.. n.
H. barton showed how the W. last
named creeks have robbed the Scho-
harie of some of its head-waters by
gradually wearing a.ay the mountain
slopes behind them until the watershed
inclining toward the Hudson has en-
croached ON that which supplies the
SchOharie.

Fire at McGregor.

Thursday morning few3 minutes
before three O'Clock, fire was discov-
cred in the Athenaeum, Mr.. Widman,
the owner, had just closed the hall
but short time before at the close
of the Odd Fellows dance, and the
fire seems to have originated about
the stage. The office of the McGreg-
or News and Bindery was all burned,
not even book saved. While the
building and plant was insured, Mr..
Widman estimates his loss ut not less
than $4,000. The furniture and books
of Mr.. Chapin's law Office were all
gotten out, but the building is total
wreck. The total loss of property
destroyed will probably reach $25, 1000
This is the worst fire McGregor has
had in many years. The loss of the
Athenaeum. one of the finest halls in
North Eastern Iowa, together with
the McGregor News, is one the peo-
pie of McGregor will feel sorely. Just
what will be done regarding rebuild
ing, is not acknowledgement Times.

WANTS TO RAISE sPoNoEs.

Proposition of n Greek to tho Secretary
Of Agriculture.
The secretary of agriculture has re
ceived communication from one
Charalampos Korfois, who describes
himself as O Greek resident Of Mos
koniria, an island Of Asia Minor, Tur-
key, and by occupation a merchant
and fisherman of sponges." This enter
prising gentleman desires a commission
for the cultivation, propagation and
fishing of sponges on the coasts Of the
United States Of America, for which
he states that he has the advantage Of
special machines, which are his inven-
ton and property. He asks also for
transportation to New York for himself
and his IA men, and transportation for
his machines to the places where
sponges are found, and he wants the
privilege Of fishing for sponges to be eK-
tended to him for the next 20 years.
BE speaks confidently Of his ability to
develop profitable industry In America,
Sponge fisheries not being within the
Jurisdiction of the secretary Of agri.
culture, and Mr.. Korfois being q for.
eigner, his communication has been re.
ferred to the department of state.

Setting Out Street and Shade Trees.

From u dozen sourc es we have the
report that shade trees put out on
streets and home grounds last spring
have shown borers on the south side
of the stems, and large spots of dead
wood also on the south side. AS this
is apt to occur in our climate with
trees taken up in the timber and with
trimmed up stems set in open expo
sure on the prairies.
A little thought and extra trouble
will give sound trees in place of those
hurt by sun and borers on the south
side which will prove worse than
valueless, as they will dwlndle
along and prove an eyesore rather
than the grand shade trees hoped
for.
The requisites to perfect success
are:
1. Dig the trees early in spring,
getting as long side roots as possible.
Heel them in quite deeply, shade the
tops, and defer planting until the
buds start when they should be
planted in holes dug the proceeding
fall or in early spring.
2. Select as far as possible the
trees that will permit retaining the
whole top in height. In cutting back
let it be confined to the small bran
ches not over half an inch in diane.
ter. This will sufficiently lessen the
evaporation and not shock the vital
ity of the tree as in hewing off large
limbs and the whole top.
3. Wrap the stems at once after
planting. Hay bands are best for
wrapping and most persons know
how to rig up a little machine fol
rapidly twisting slough grass into
ropes. In the Minneapolis park sys-
TEN every tree set oas been wrapped
with hap ropes when set. Their
thrift and growth furnish a queer
contra st to the street trees set in the
usual way.-Rural Life.

Some Profits in the Wheat Movement.

The shipment of wheat to India di-
rect from San Francisco probably
aroused more interest among Chica-
go and New York grain brokers than
any commercial event of the year.
At first the news was discredited, as
it seemed like the old proverb of car
rying Goals to New CASTLE" but when
the news was verified it was a dark
day for those who were on the bear
side of the market. San Fracisco
grain dealers who had the courage of
their convictions. and bought wheat
literally when it was below the dol
lar mark, have realized great profits.
George w. McNear, who probably
handles more wheat than any one on
the Pacific coast predicted several
months ago that wheat would go to
$3.50 before Christmas. He bought
$4,000 tons, and his profit on this is
$750,OOO. Eppinger s. Co., who have
about $1,000 tons, estimate their pro-
fits at round 100000, while a score
of other brokers have gained a hand
some foltune by the sudden rise. I'm
fortunately the California farmer has
profitted nothing by this advance in
wheat, for nine-tenths of the seasons
crop is in the hands of the middle
men; but the unexpected rise has
helped him materially as it has in
creased the value of his grain land,
and has made it far easier for him to
secure loans from the banks. -From

The following is an interesting com

The following is an interesting COM
parison: Suppose that a farmer
raises 1000 bushels of wheat year,
and also sells this to 1000 persons in
all parts of the country, a great por-
ton of them saying, l will hand you
a dollar in short time The farmer
does not want to be small and says
all right Soon the 1000 bushels are
gone and he has nothing to show for
it, and realizes that he has fooled
away his whole crop, nd its value is
due in u thousand little driblets.
subsequently he is seriously en-
barrassed in business because his
debtors, each owing him one dollar,
treat it us n small matter, and think
it would not help much. Continue
this business year in and year out,
as the publisher Of a newspaper does,
no " long would he stand.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indi-
gestion by Dieting Barbarous
and Useless One

We say the old way, but really it
is very common one at present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians
as we'll consider the first step to take
in attempting to cure indigestion is
to diet, either by selecting certain
foods and rejecting others or to
greatly diminish the quantity usually
taken, in other words the starvation
plan is by many supposed to be the
first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proven time and time again,
but still the moment dyspepsia makes
its appearance course of dieting is
at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recon-
mend dieting or starvation to a man
suffering from Dyspepsia, because in
digestion itself starves every organ
and every nerve and every fibre in
the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is album
dnnt nutrition, which means plenty
of good, wholesome, well-cooked
food and something to astist the
weak stomach to digest it. This is
exactly the purpose for which Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and thissis the method by which they
cure the worst cases of Dyspepsia. in
other words the patient eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets digest it for him. In
this way the system is neurlshed and
the overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not.
One of these tablets will digest 5000
grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuar's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
purest and sufest remedy sold for
stomach troubles and every trial
makes one more friend for this excel
lent preparation. Sold at Scots for
full sized package at all drug stores,

When wear begins to exceed repair
in your body you are going to fall
sick. The signs of it are: loss of flesh
paleness, weakness, nervousness, etc.
The repair needed is food. You
think you eat enough, and yet you
feel that you wear out more tissue,
energy, nerve-force, than your food
makes for you. The difficulty is that
you do not digest enough. And this
is so serious it is worth sitting down
seriously to think about, If you
can't digest what you eat, take few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
The effect of it will be to increase
your flesh and make you feel
stronger. You won't fall sick. Proof
that it is in control of your repair ap.
paratus. Its easy enough to test this
for yourself. Take few bottles of
Shaker Digestive Cordial.

The farmer in the west is long on
feed and short on stock-a most un-
profitable condition and one not pos
sible to remedy this season, says
Breeders Gazette. Some causes lead
ing up to it are the shortage of crops
during the years of drought which
led to the sale of stock to relieve the
pasture and winter supply of feed.
The shrinkage in prices of stock of
all kinds led to sales and neglect of
breeding. Since 1890 the decline in
value of farm animals is % per cent.
Since 1890 the value of
horses, as estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture, has declined

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CRAFT.
One of tho Five Oldest Boats Known
Presented to Field Museum.

Presented to Field Museum.
One of the five known oldest boats in
the world has been added to the treas
ures of the Field Columbian museum.
1t is installed in the transportation de-
partment, having been shipped only q
few weeks ago from the Gizeh museum
Of antiquities at Cairo.
The museum is indebted to the lib
crafty OF Mrs. Cyrus n. Mccormick for
the prize. Psychologists assert it was
IN use at least 4,t00 years ago being
contemporaneous with the Dashur pyr-
nmids Of the eleventh dynasty.
There five ancient boats were found
together recently, buried at consider
able depth, near the great pyramid,
The regular order in which they were
arranged led to the belief they had been
purposely buried after having been
used in transporting spices or other ma
terials for the embalming of royal per-
Eonages.
The boats are of cedar and were found
i'll good condition, only about one-Afth
Of the wood having succumbed to de-
cay. The oars had disappeared, but a
piece OF one of the rudders was OBJ
tanned for the Field museum.
1t required 80 men to carry each
OF the three boats that have so far been
moved 10 the banks Of the Nile. The re-
manning two are still in the neighbor-
hood where they were found, and two
are still in the Gizeh museum.

boats arrived, and as soon as it was

South Dakota grain dealers are
estimating that the greater portion
of wheat available for shipment
throughout their territory has al
ready gone to market. Sixty per cent
of the crop, it is generally conceded,
has been turned into money by the
farmers. Fifteen per cent is reserved
for seed, five per cent for home con-
sumption, and ten per cent is thought
to be in stack, and likely to remain
80 until spring. Ten per cent is thus
all that is now left for the eastern
market.
