is of far greater interest than the early
nesting. Cooperation of birds has been
as yet but slightly observed, although
frequent instances of birds helping one
another are recorded in various papers
on natural history. An eagle was once
seen to dive at and seize a large cor
morant in a Florida bay. The eagle
killed the bird very quickly. and then
rose out of the water with Ii, endeavor-
ing to fly, but the prey was too heavy.
and both birds sank to the water. Then
the eagle started to tow Ii toward shore
and very soon its wing movements told
of much fatigue. Then two eagles that
had been seated on a dead tree of the
mainland rose and went flying toward
the tired bird. 1t looked as IL highway
robbery was going to be committed.
but IL wasn't.
One of the newcomers took the place
OF the tired bird and lowed the dead
one till tired. Then its place was taken
by the third bird. By the time the
third bird was tired the first was rested
and took its turn again. When the
dead bird was finally gotten to shore
the three Toasted together as amicably
as crows.
Another authentic story is that of
pair of young and inexperienced swal-
lows that were in hurry to get a nest

one spring. They hustled and slapped
the mud into place on the inside of
the barn in a most careless. hasty sort
of way, and at last, along about 2
O'Clock in the afternoon, just as the fin
fishing touches were being made. down
II dropped to the floor. Both birds
chirped mournfully. Soon the male
flew out of the barn, and away out of
sight, while the female sat on a beam
disconsolate. Pretty soon swallows be-
gan to arrive until there were over 40
more than could be counted-present.
They flew into the barn and out of Ii,
as II at play. After a while they flew
to a mud puddle near by and each took
a bill full of mud and went into the
barn to plaster 1t on where the coll
lapsed nest had been, and then re-
turned for more. For two hours there
was a stream of ingoing and outgoing
birds, and they ceased only when the
nest. a big, substantial one, had been
built and well lined with soft stuff.
What they said TO the young pair OF
swallows is not known, but next morn
ing the nest had an egg in 1t, showing
why there had been need of haste.

Judge Mediation yesterday heard
some evidence in the divorce case of
Estelle Rose against William Rose and
granted the plaintiff a decree of d.
vorce and awarded her the custody of
four children. Mrs. Rose testified that
she married the defendant in Wiscon-
sin in 1881, and came with him to Miles
City five years ago. The defendant Is
a tailor by trade and Mrs. Rose said
he was a good tailor and earned good
wages, but for two years he had con-
tributed nothing to her support. Two
years ago he gave her $50 and she has
had nothing from him since but has
been compelled to support herself and
children by dressmaking. The defend
ant is at present in jamestown, North
Dakota. Mary Maggie also testified
that Mrs. Rose was supporting herself.

X ELECTIONS.

Thele are four early state elections to
be held this year. In existing circum-
stances their results will be locked for
with intorest-by some perhaps with
| upprchensiOn-as showing the extent
and the direction to which the disturb,
ed condition of politics have affected
party distribution,
Alabama held its election yesterday.
At the last election there was no repub-
lican party in the state. The democrats
cast I1O.S65 ballots and the populista
S3.2S3. The republican vote of 9,197 in
1892 shrank in 1894 to an undistin-
guished part of a scattering vote OF
1855.

control-will be exceedingly interest.

The Vermont election will come next
on Sept. /. That state gave in 1894 AZ
663 republican to li,1i2 democratic
votes. Its vote this year will show tc
what extent the free silver cause ha:

Green mountains.
Arkansas elects state officers on the
9TH of September. There the democ,
racy had at the last election a heavy
majority over both republicans ant
populists. The figures were: Demo,
Gratis. 74,SO9; republicans. 26,S05; popu

Blistcrs Oh the feet. which are neces-
sarily very painful, should be bathed
on going to bed with strong salt water,
to which, if they are very tender, it is
an excellent thing to add just avery lit
tie vinegar and fine pounded alum.
People who suffer very much III this
way will always do well to wear rather
thick soled boots, having them especial
ly made, us it is most important for any
one who has very tender feet that the
boots should be perfectly fitting. Into
these boots IL pair of lambs wool socks
should be placed, and these socks should
be thickly spread over with soft soap on
the inside of the foot of the sock.

forms of town life itself, while the in

REIMBURSEMENT between the nervous sys-
tenn and its changed environment. But
meantime grave physical injuries arise
directly from those very economic
changes which have raised the economic
condition of the great mass of the work
ers Il have probably reduced the
quantity of purely economic poverty.
When we reflect that the physical in
jurics of town life, attcsted by tables of
mortality and impaired muscular activ-
lty, fall most heavily upon the poor, we
shall see grave reasons of industrial and
social life are generally favorable to the
physical vitality of the low paid worker
or the rCsiduum-that is to say, whether
he gets any net vital advantage out of
Ii higher rate of real wages which he
obtains when he is working.
When we also bear in mind that each
year a higher proportion of the workers
are living i'll large towns. where the
duration of life is about Ia per cent less
than i'll the country, and that the age of
enforced retirement from regular wage
earning is, by reason of the strain of
competition and the regulations of trade
organizations, considerably earlier than
1t was formerly, and that an increased
l%rregularity of employment is discern.

hold it doubtful whether the average
worker of the lower order makes n total
life wage which is any higher than he
made formerly. Tho conclusion applied

The Old Rock Snrinr

Under the tall green aIders
Ihat never let the sun shine through.
Win unklng drip DER the rocks cool lip
The water came down like the dew:
And not even the tabled nectar
That classc poets sing
Did dream could be as sweet TO me
As the water in the old rock spring
Down by the old rock spring,
Where the water-fags dip and swing.
There's never draught wherever
quaffed,
Like one from the old rock spring!
Down 'mongst the running grasses
Glad Of the shady place
From the hay at morn or the noon-hot corn.
Full on my eager face
I've flung myself TO taste it,
And never has anything
Since slaked my thirst like the balm that
burst
Fresh from the old rock spring.
Down by the old rock spring,
How a sip from its lips could bring
My boyhood back long the once worn
track
That led to the old rock spring,
Tho Ia Burgundy on my sideboard,
Champagne of the rarest sort,
Wines Of MOselle and Muscatel.
And many pint OF port,
Yet ] never could forget it.
With its brooklike murmuring:
The best stocked bin takes a back seat
when
think of the old rock spring.
There the Iichens loop and cling;
To give. l We're fain, all the grapes OF
Spain
For a drink from the old rock spring
