Big Cattle Trade for 1895.

HELENA, Montana, Jan. S.-The
year 1895 was the greatest cattle
year Montana has had, so far as
total receipts from sales are con-
cerned. Revised figures of the
business done during the year,
prepared in the Office of the Mon
tana board of stock commissioners,
give the total receipts at $11, 032,-
$50. This exceeds the next highest
year, 1894, by nearly $l,000,000.
The secretary of the board has
handled, during the year, on ac-
count of strays, $l79, 721. The ship
ments of cattle during the year
1895 aggregated 246,460 head, the
slaughter for home consumption
being about 10000 head, making
the total output BOG, 400 head. The
average price for the year was a
trifle over $36 per head. Thus it
will be seen that the cattle indus
try brought more than $l1, 100000
into Montana during 1895. The re-
port of the state veterinarian
shows there were brought into
Montana in 1896, 10000 head of cat

BE Scores Harvard Professors fol-
Baboon Statesmanship.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. S.-The
Harvard Crimson publishes today
a letter from Hon. Theodore Roose-
welt, of New York, making strong
plea against the stand taken by a
number of Harvard professors and
undergraduates in a signed COM
munication two weeks ago, and
outlining his views of the whole
situation, urging all Harvard men
to support the present national
policy. He says:
"The Monroe doctrine forbids us
to acquiesce in any territorial ag-
grandizement by a European
power on American soil at the ex-
pense of an American state. If peo-
pie wish to reject the Monroe doc
trine in its entirety, their attitude,
though discreditable to their far
sighted patriotism, is illogical.
The stock jobbing timidity, the
baboon kind of craftsmanship,
which is clamored for at this mo-
ment by the men who put none
tary gain before national honor, or
who are still intellectually in a
state Of colonial dependence on
England, would in the end most
assuredly invite war. A temperate,
but resolute, insistence upon our
rights is the surest way to secure
peace"

Do People Ever Forge. Anything.

Do People Ever Forget Anything.
The brain of mankind has been
defined as a kind OF photographic
cylinder, which retains impress
sions made upon it through the
medium OF the senses, particularly
through the eyes and ears. Ifthis
be true, memory must depend for
its intensity or retentive qualities
upon the degree of observation
with which the record is made.
Nor is this all. II memory's re-
cord is kept in the shape OF In
dentations upon the folds OF the
brain matter, are they ever entire
ly effaced? In other words, do
we really ever forget anything?
May it not be that the inner
depths of the brain memory have
stored up recollections Of things
which are never Sgain purposely
turned to, perhaps, but which in
stantly spring into being and flash
through the mind whenever we
hear or see something which re-
calls them?
There are several we'll known
mental phenomena which
strengthen this theory. We know
that memory often brightens dur
ing the last moments Of life, and
there are cases on record where
Germans, French, Spainards and
others, who, falling Ill in this
years after having entire
ly forgotten their native languages
recovered and used them upon
their death beds.
There is a theory that in all
such cases the brain folds have
relaxed, just as do the muscles
and cords Of the limbs and body,
and that by 80 doing they expose
the minds monitor indentations
(recollections), which were long
since folded up and put away as
m aterisl that could not be Of any
particular use.-Family Doctor.
