The Bannoek and Sboshone Indian reservation that has been bought by the government and will presently be thrown open to settlement contains AIS, 600 acres of land. The government bought this tract of the Indians at the rate of $l25 an acre The best feature perhaps of the purchase is that three. quarters of it are mineral lands, from which much may be looked for in the way of metal discoveries. One fourth of the tract is agricultural A good stroke of business ill connection with the Ban nook and Shoshone purchase is the ex- tinction of Indian hunting rights in Jaokson's Hole. Now white men cannot again arouse an Indian scaro at Jack son s Hole.

Hon. Thomas L. Johnson, familiarly known as aTom Johnson, " is a eonspio- uous proof that the advocacy of radi- cal, economic and financial opinions are not inconsistent with the ability to heap up riches with the best of the bloated trustoorats. Whatever he turns his hand to seems to return him money, and plenty of 1t. It is announced that he is now gradually withdrawing from the enterprises with which he is connected in Cleveland, where he began his ia. nous career. His stock in the Cleye. land Electric Railway company amount ed at one time to $I, 500, 000 He has, however, sold nearly all that stock. He likewise disposed of a newspaper he owned there. and he has leased his pri- vate residence, besides selling out his stock in various other business enter prises. Does this mean that Mir. Johnson of Brooklyn will henceforth east his lot with the millionaire aristocrats of the east?

stage of digestion, when comminution of

disintegratcs and dissoives the contents OF

preparing it for assimilation. Hence the
habit Of drinking water in moderate guam

and indicates the fact that those who visit
health resorts for the purpose of imbibing
the waters of mineral springs might profit
by staying Mt home and drinking moro
water and less whisky.
Water is the universal solvent Of nature
and the chief agent I'm all transformations
Of matter. When taken into an empty

The Live. of Mountain Women.

The lives Of mountain women are mar.
Towed To p!tiful compass of toll and do
nestle sacrifice, says u writer in The
Chautauquan. They are often very pretty
In extreme youth, with gcntleness of ex-
preston and an inherent dignity wholly
inexplicable except on che grounds Of an
cestral reflection, for IL Is certain that
somo Of them have an infusion of good
old blood Their outdoor life gives them u
peculiar softnoss and brilliance Of color
ing which, with the subtle charms of
youth, lends beauty TO even tho plainest
face. But unfortunately hard work soon
does away with any beauty they may pos
sess, and they ago long before their years
would warrant.
They marry very young and then the
real hardships Of life begin, for until that
time their mothers shield them from the
heaviest burdens When moonshiner
marries, he takes his bride home to his ia
ther's house, while he puts up shack
near by, with perhaps two rooms, and
they begin To work tho ground around it.
The little bride follows the plow with her
hoe ali through tho long hot spring and
summer with cheerful patience and resig
nation Even when the children come she
does not shirk tho work, but takes them
with her. and tho first little toddler is
taught TO watch over the helpless infant

SO tho years pass In unrcmitting toll
until the ch~lrcn are big enough To take
her place, and all her efforts have brought
only tho simple necessities of life.

Walter T.. Mylod and David Anthony.
were heard by the Appellate Court tod'y
and beld for advisement
Walter i. Angel, counsel for David
Anthony, made tho opening argument
for the petitioners. lie called the atten-
ton OF the court to the great advance OF
the Christian Scisntist movement ano
said 1t was not strangers woo were devot-
ed to its deal, but our friends ana neigh
bors.
Then ne argued that under the statute
t1ere was not the slightest reason Tor & o
refusal 90 accept the surrender Of the pril =
cipals. Al first question as 10 tne pros
ecution OF the msn bound over by the
District Court being in violation OF the
right OF religious liberty. attracted the
attention Of the counsel, but after more
mature consideration they had made up
thslr mind that the statute urder which
their clients were prosecuted ala not APP
peal to them. 1be Christian Scientists
did not give medicine nor ala they prac-
tice surgery. so they could not DO obliged
to get certificate Of registration Iroia
tle state board of health.
The members OF the court asked many
questions about the tenets ana practices
of the Christian Scientists, which Mr.
Angeli answered.
Assistant Attorney General Stearns
argued that tho statute requiring the Civ
ing OF the r0ooRnizance was to prevent
delay by requiring that the question
raised should te prosecuted unoer the
penalty of 500, and also to find out once
for all whether the law was constitutions
al, and TO prevent the question being
abandoned for the time and then taken
up again.
JudRe Stiness said Mr. 'Stearns' argu.
ment was very persuasive one II the
question had been framed, nut he under
stood no question had been stated TO the
corIt.
MIR. Angel said he had agreed that Il o
matter. should be considered Just the sams
as II the question had been put In exart
phraseology.
Warren Il. Pierce told of the rapid de-
velopment and progress Of the Christian
Scientit ideas, after which he argued that
there hao been no question found upon
which the court could pass
George A. Litsleheld also aruged in the
latter point. The court. at the coolusiop
Of Mr.. Littleteld's argument, asked the
attorney general to give the references to
the statutes he relied uton to show that
Tho sureties couid not surrender their
