Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, SO no preparation

growth. This is done by

moves dandruf, cleanscs the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom

District court has been in ses-
sion at Del Norte all the week,
Judge Northcuts presiding. The
case between Saguache and Rio
Grande counties which was COM
menced in 1899 occupied Monday
and Tuesday. This case is to set
tie the boundary lines between the
two counties and was tried before
the judge. The evidence Was
largely documentary. The judge
took the matter under sdvisement.
Wednesday morning the case OF
Bloom against the county was
called. A. s. Paddock, of the state
land board, Tom Wilson, Of Colo
RADIO City, G. NJ. Collier Of the old
firm Collier a. Cleveland, and Bert
Gray, OF Central, were witnesses
for Bloom, and Capt. Aldrich and
G. s. Conant were witnesses for
the county. There was wide d.
vergence in the estimates OF actual
worth OF the work done by Bloom
for the county. The witnesses fol
the plaintiff and the judge took the
view that a thing was worth what
a man could get out Of it The
case went to the jury about IL
o'clock Thursday forenoon.
The Jury after being out scvera
hours brought in a verdict OF S75t
for the plaintiff. The jury were

One woman's Trials.

A resident Of Staten Island has lately
been very much annoyed by some of the
urchins of the neighborhood. She is a
great lover Of nature and has On her
front piazza a number of potted plants
which have been cared for all winter.
At night, when everything is quiet, the
BOYS come and manage to steal one or
two plants without discovery. One by
one her choice flowers have disappeared,
and although she has watched for the
thieves they have never been caught.
The other day she conceived a plan
by which she saved her remaining
treasures. Tying string TO each flow
erpot, she connected the ends with a
bell in the hall That night she waited
patiently for the alarm. At last there
was tinkle and then a crash. Rushing
cut. she saw boy, apparently fright
ened oct Of his senses, running down
the path. When he found the pct tied
and heard the bell ring. he dropped his
booty and took to his heels. The boy es-
capped, but there has been no more trou-
BILE with flower thieves.
This woman is very fond Of pets Of
all kinds and has a number about the
house. One day, while marketing, she
saw beautiful eamecock and thought
it would make a novel sort Of pet. Pay
ing $50 fer her find, she had it sent
home. The bird arrived before its mis-
tress and was received by the cook, who
chopped OF its head and prepared it for
dinner.-New York Times.

TROUT AND PICKEREL.

Something About Their Methods of Feed
ing. rs Observed at the Aquarium
1t is easy to observe at the aquarium
the habits Of fish in feeding. Some are
sluggish. some are fierce and some are
slv. The trout are fed on live klllles-
The killies when thrown into the tank
scatter in all directions, with the trout
after them like chain lightning, twist
ing and turning with marvellous eeleri-
ty. The killies double, the tro1t Dart
after them. Rising to bunch OF XII
lies at the top, the trout fairly make
the water fly. They jump almost If not
ouite, clear out of il, as If they were
turning somersaults, and down they go
in again and on after the killles- IL Is
a dashing, slashing, crashing pursuit,
and in about half minute the klllies
are all gone.
The pickerel-how different, How
silent, and yet how suddenl The klllle
dropned in above darts downward
through the water. Not pursued, 1t
slow down and halts in the middle OF
the tank TO rest and TO recover its equa-
nimitv after its recent disturbing expe-
rience Of being removed from Its home
in the live food tank, carried about in
a galvanized iron tray, and finally
dropped into another tank as food for
other fishes.
At a little distance is observed the
pickerel 1t has come up silently, like a
long, slender, little steamer moving
dead slow. 1t comes to a halt so smooth
" ami quietly that the instant of Its
halt is not noticed. Ii is simply seen TO
be lying there, motionless, about SIX
inches from the hllie.
All is peace and quiet in the tank,
and the killie still balances itself in the
water and rests. Suddenly, with no ap-
parent exertion of power, the pickerel
darts forward. The movement Is so sud
den that il is not realized that the pick
erel has moved until it is seen IL its
rev position. The killie is gone. 1t is
now in the pickerel's interior, and prob
ably with only very hazy notion, If
any at all, of how il got there
The methods Of the trout and picker
el are very different; their results, how
ever, are much the same.-New York

An Irish Schoolhouse.

Nearly every day saw the children
going to school in the morning and
met them returning in the evening.
Their aspect had the same untamed
wildness then that il had as i saw
them running about the bogs and crags
that surrounded the home village, is
the comment of writer in the Out
look. The schoolhouse was four miles
distant along a desolate road winding
through the dun marshes. The chill
dren went barefooted and bareheaded,
except for a few of the older boys, who
wore caps. They each carried piece
of dry bread for their noon lunch, and
that was all the food they had till they
returned home late i'm the afternoon.
But, with all their hardships, they
looked sturdy and healthy. Probably
weaklings do not survive long. Once
| noticed that boy in a group of chill
dren returning from school carried a
book, and asked TO see it. IL was "A
most forlorn little third reader, a
wreck of book-covers broken, mark
ed and greasy within, and many pages
gone or torn.
The schoolhouse was bare modern
building, with gray plaster walls. 1t
stood in the centre of rough, rocky
yard that was surrounded 10y high
stone wall. Outside the inclosure all
was bog.

$4,000 for Driving His Own Wagon

\ few years ago n well-todo but ex-
travagant farmer living out on the
Russell cave pike went TO Mr.. Hart
Boswell and asked him TO see his
brother Dave, of the Northern bank,
and tell him that he wanted to borrow
$1,000, and tell him that it would be all
o. X, etc.
Mr.. B. told him that he would not
do it, but gave him the following tip:
81 see you or your wife calling ne
grOes out of the field two or three times
day TO hitch your rigs up TO go 10
Lexington, and see you stop hands
from their field work to drive a load Of
corn to market. You stop all this
foolishness and drive the wagon of
corn yourself, then go To the bank and
ask for what you want"
The man went according to direc-
tions, and after he had sold his corn be
went to the bank and asked for 5000.
Mr.. Il. L. Anderson, one of the direc-
tors was present, and without asking
any questions, said:
"Any man who drives his own wag-
on can borrow all the money he wants
at the Northern bank"
This little transaction changed this
mans condition i'm life, and he was no
longer n money borrower.-Lexington

About Microbes.

The history Of science shows that,
however simple a newly discovered fact
or law appears at first, closer study
proves it complex and intricate. This
holds true in the germ theory Of dis
ease. 1t seems such an easy explanation.
Each disease is due to a specific mi
crobe. Eliminate the microbe, cure the
disease" But exceptions keep obtrud-
ing themselves. Often the microbe is
found, but rot the disease; hence bac-
teriologists have come TO recognize that
not the presence of the germ, but some
virulent condition Of il, causes the NAL
adv. 1t Is said that the current of
thought was first turned in this direc-
ton by the discovery by Roux and Yer
sin of diphtheria bacillus in large
number of normal throats and in local
ities where the disease had not been
endemic for years. Leaders seem 20 be
deciding that it is family of bacilli
one has to deal with in diagnosing and
treating certain disease. Some members
Of the family are especially pathogenic
and some are not 1.-The last may be-
come virulent under conditions not well
understood, but the main one seems to
be the passage of the bacillus through
one or more individuals whose lowered
resistive vitality makes them subject to
the originally attenuated virulence of
the bacilli" DR.. Roux of anritoxin
fame believes these changes in virulence
Of microbes are the rule rather than the
exception. Metzchnikoff found that
cholera bacillus was widely spread in
water, practically all over the world.
Duclaux, Pasteur's S successor as director
of the Institut Pasteur, is also convinced
that the family of bacilli" in both ty-
phoid and cholera is sometimes patho-
genie and sometimes not, and is widely
spread in nature.

Gibraltar to St. Petersburg.

Europe will soon have an overland
express, which, while not travelling
quite as long distance n some trains
in America, will nevertheless cover
quite a good stretch ofrOad. The South

between Paris and Madrid, and upon
two other days from Paris TO Lisbon,
will be made daily train, and running

The Due d'Aumale for the last %
wears of his life suffered much from
gout, which twisted his hands some
what out of shape and shriveled his fin
gers. In spite of that infrmity he still
wrote neat and legible hsSd. At
Twickenbam, during his periods ct ex-
lie. while be was at work On stutics Of
his History of the Princes of Condo, "
he wrote upon little scraps Of thick note
laper. which were reoopied ON larger
sheets. He bought many pictures IN
England, which afterward found place
in the galleries of Chantilly, but nearly
all are works of French or Italian art
lists. 1t has been noted with surprise and
some regret that he did not care to en-
rich his collection with masterpieces OF
the English painters.
He inherited his great fortune, as Is
well known, from the Due de Bourbon,
the head of the Conde branch Of the
Bourbon family. After the dukes son,
the Prince d'Enghien, had been shot by
order of Napoleon the duke had no di-
rect heir. In his old age. after being
twice married and widowed, he fell IN
TO the clutches of Mime. de Feucheres,
an English adventures, who induced
him to settle upon her an estate and
large sums Of money. The story is that
she. feeling the need Of friend at
court, agreed with Louis Philippe that
if be would stand by her she would in
flucnce the old duke TO make the Duo
d'Aunale, who was his godson, his heir.
The old duke repined under the DOM
ination Of his companion and plotted to
run away secretly and escape, but on
the morning Of the day ON which he
had planned TO go he was found hang
ing from the window fastenings in his
bedroom. His estates duly went 10 the
Due d'Aumale, then child 6 years old.

was thought to be the best cultivation
needed. Better crops are grown by
level cultivation, which if it is made
shallow may be continued almost until
potatoes are grown, and without in
juring the crop.
If il were not for the fact that 'na-
ture abhors vacuum" aad causes
vegetation to spring up everywhere to
cover the nakedness of the earth, much
of our land would soon become a bar
ren waste, for il is i'm the growth and
decay of vegetation that soils are made.
The building process has been going
on for untold ages; year by year decay
ing vegetable matter has been added
to the soil, incorporating with the clay
and sand of the rocks, which, being
washed 10 lower levels, form our rich
alluvial soils. We may consider weeds
as evils which spring up to our dis
may, "but they feed the green earth
with their swift decay, and leave it
richer for their growth"
