ing public opinion on the subject.
Everything is made to give way to the
urgent haste required in getting out
paper on time. A comma is never
put where the readers common
sense and supposed knowledge can
supply it. A period is often omitted
after initials, and where commas have
been omitted in lengthy sentence a
comma is made to do service for a
semicolon. Haste is the watchword of
the modern newspaper Office, and if a
fraction of time can be saved by usi1 q
lower case letter where capital has
been the custom in goes the lower case
letter, save where the use of the latter
would possibly be regarded as an evil
dence Of ignorance. The daily news
paper is approaching uniformity, but
it is uniformity not at all desirable,
for it is the dead blank uniformity
that prevailed prior to the day of
Manutius, the Venetian printer, who
introduced the system of punctuation
that has been generally used for the
last four or five centuries.
There is a happy mean, uniformity
that is based upon time honored usage,
VIZ ASSSooiey lux puuCtudtlOu pOluto
and capitals to assist the reader
in obtaining clear, forcible
and accurate conception OF the
printed language. What the ap-
propriate gesture, the modulated voice,
the expressive countenance are to tho
spoken language the points of ofpunctua-
tion and capital letters are to the
written and printed language. The
excessive employment of either is Of
fensivc to good taste and confusing to
the intelligence, but the entire aban-
donment OF either or both has nothing
to recommend it. AS it is impossible
to obtain uniformity, SO is it impossi-
bic to prescribe uniform aud universal
rules for the application of the princi-
pies of punctuation. Punctuation de-
mands for its successful application u
quick apprehension, good judgment, a
cultivated taste and m extensive and
vivid acquaintance with the standard
literature of the language. Until all
writer's and all proof readers are en-
dowed with these necessary qualifica
tions and the additional one of being
accurate and painstaking at all times
there viii be no uniformity.

to make a raid on the two banks of
Grangeville after the raid was made
here We hardly believe that the

lawless plans, but if they should,
their death warrant is signed. The
people here are ready for any such
attack There are a few toughs in

attempt anything that was unlaw

NOT GUILTY.

"Not guilty" said the jury Tues
day morning at eleven o'clock, and
Mrs. Goddard walked out of Nez
Perez county's temple Of justice q
free woman, says the Lewiston
Tribune. On the sixth Of Deem
Der the case of the state Of Idaho
VS.. Mary E. Goddard on the charge
of numbering John Siers on May
10Th, 1895, was called for trial.
After the most ably fought and
dramatic trial ever in this section,
jury of twelve men declared the
defendant not guilty. AS she stood
leaning on the arm of her faithful
counsel, Mr.. Reid, and faced the
jury, who were 'also standing and
facing her, and the verdict was read,
not tremor nor an expression Of
excitement was visible in her coun-
tenance, but a supreme confidence
in the result oftheir verdict showed
Enthusiastically in that remarkable
parsonage. Not a sound was heard
as the audience and officials Of the
court breathlessly awaited the
words. And when said, the same
stolid expression remained with
Mrs. GODDARD while her daughter
and sisters sobbed tears Of graft
tude. Mr.. Reid thanked the jury,
and Mrs. GODDARD with her relatives
retired from the court room.
The court delivered its charge
after supper Monday night and the
jury retired to deliberate at $50
o'clock At 1920 Tuesday morn
ing they had agreed upon a verdict.
The first three ballots showed eight
for acquittal, three for conviction
and one blank. Next it stood sew
en- to five. then ten to two, same
again and then eleven to one, jim
Rice stuck out for conviction until
he saw it was hopeless. VIM, Hew-
lit and |. J. Johnson also voted for
conviction for a while.

WOULD-BE ROBBERS.

A bold plan to "hoId up" and
rob the post office and business
houses of Denver has just come to
light here, says the Progress. The
whole story was exposed by the wife
OF one of the gang and the anthem
tlclty of the news can not be ques-
toned, and there is no doubt, had
1t not been for the law clutching
two of the gang for a much smaller

attempt, at least would have been
made to carry out their previously
laid plans. The masks were made,
and everything in readiness to make
the raid, when the wife of one Of the
gang was taken sick and her hus-
oand could not be spared from
home that night.
The wife of another of the out

ANOTHER GARFIELD INVEN-
TOR.

Most of the valuable inventions
of the world have been contrived to
tighten the labors of the inventor.
T8boring and sweating over the in
side doors of grain cars has led Mr..
G A. PEARS of the Tacoma grain
company to invent a door that fits
down snug and tight and yet is cas-
lily opened or closed. He has COM
pieted working model and pro-
poses to have it patented. All the
grain shippers recognize the neces-
sity for such an improvement and
those who have seen the model are
convinced that Mr.. PEARS has hit
upon time and temper saving in
vention that ought to be worth a
good deal Of money to the originator,
We hope that it may prove So

ABOUT THE HONEY BEE.
During the fruit growers conven-
ton at WalIa Naia, Professor J. A.
Balmer, Of the agricultural college,
geye an interesting talk on bees.
From notes on his address in the
" ALA Walla Statesman the follow
ing is cleaned:
The beehive teaches d valuable
lesson in political economy. There
we see the cooperative plan carried
out to perfection. Each bee has its
own work to perform.
In every hive at certain seasons
Of the year are found drones, a
queen and workers. The ancients
called the queen the king bee. The
queen does nothing but lay eggs.
She is not a sovereign. She is fed
by the workers. The queen is the
most important member of the hive.
She muat lay eggs or die. She can
give points to a brown hen in this
line Of business. She lays 1000 eggs
a day, twice her own weight The
egg is about one sixteenth Of an
inch long and has a shell, album
inous part and yolk. The egg soon
develops into a crawling maggot,
larva or worm. The larva lies in q
milk fluid or chyle. This is a semi
digested food. The larva absorbs
this chyle. 1t is fed literally, or
not according to the season of its
birth In six days the larva is 1900
times heavier th2t the egg from
which it originated. 1t soon com
mences a weaving process, and
weaveS a cocoon partially Of silk
and partially of saliva,
Each variety Of bees has its own
time for development. The worker
needs u days to develop wings,
drones "A days and the queen 81 to
Is. The drones are the dudes of
the hive. They fly out for about
two hours on bright sunny days
and make more noise that all the
rest of the hive. Aftera short time
the drones are put out. The work
ers are the heWers Of wood and
drawers Of water; they carry pollen
and nectar from the flowers. Tie
nectar is digested and put into the
cell, where it ripens into honey.
The workers also carry water. They
are often seen about wells and stand
ing water, slipping water for the
supply of the hive. Comb building
is a wonderful sight The young
bees in the working season sacrete
wax. The wax is caught with a
flexible joint and passed to the an
terror legs and worked into the
comb. If one man in a hive Of men,
clinging together in the way that
bees do, were to stop to spit on his
hands, the whole crowd would go
pellmell to the ground. Bees gen
crate heat and keep each other
warm. The hive can be forced to
create queen bees by taking away
their queen as fast as developed. In
this way queens are produced for
the market.

Shield the Duh Children.

There is usually one of "A family of
children who is slower to learn than
the others, Just as some develop ply
sically less rapidly than others, and
it is for those SLOW ones that J
plead.
These children are often allowed
by the negligence or i'll judgment of
parents, to be made the butt of jest
on the parts Of other members of the
family. This is wrong. Many times
these slow children are sensitive to
remarks on the subject, and are not
only made miserable and unhappy
by it, but their mental development
and growth are retarded by the dis
enlargement and a fear of asking
questions that follows.
Lives are embittered by the cruel
jests of brothers and sisters far Of
tener than careless people imagine,
and what is a natural popularity of
a certain child's constitution is
spoken of as if it were a fault or
crime to be ashamed Of or hidden.
The seemingly dull boy of family
is often the one who makes the
family illustrious.

Hrnimn2 Nurses.

1t has been said the trained nurse
has done more to diminish the death
rate than all the scientists of the age.
In the north and east women receive
training for this work. Their salaries
range from $l5 to $40 per week and
living expenses. A writer on the
subject says, it requires both physi-
cal and mental efforts to obtain the
necessary training. Each nurse
must undergo examination, attend
lectures which are given by the hos
pital staff, and these lectures en-
brace almost as many subjects as
are included in a medical course.
There is everything in a trained
nurses life to make her proud of her
calling. The fact that only women
of the highest gradge of intelligence
are admitted to the schools, that
they must give the best references
and conduct themselves as to COM
mand respect of patients, doctors
and associate nurses, tends only to
perfect womanhoOd.

would make good wives? Look at
your married friends. How easy it
is to pick flaws in them! But in
nine cases out of ten you will find
the same faults in yourselves if you
look for them. Let all girls try to

Bedroom Hints.

Bring children up to sleep in the
dark, as it is much better for their
eyes, the complete darkness being
an entire rest. Dark green or blue
curtains are the best for bedrooms,
and they should be drawn across the
windows to prevent the glare of
morning light falling too strongly
upon the eyes. Never place child S
bed opposite the window, as the
bright light falling upon the face
in sleep is exceedingly bad for the
eyes.

A certain writer has said that
"some men move through life as II
band of music moves down the street
tiinging out pleasure on every side,
through the air to every one, far and
near, that can listen" Some men
fill the air with strength and sweet
ness, as the orchards in autumn
fill the air with ripened fruit, or like
the hOneysuckle fills all the region
with the subtle fragrance of it's
goodness. When men have those
royal gifts Of soul that become music
to some, fragrance to others, and in
spiration and life to all, they be-
come living benedictions to the com
mnnitY in which they live.
