Spain is trying to bring Eng
land into the war hoping thereby
to secure an alliance with some of
the great powers of the continent
who are always ready to strike a
blow at England. But the strength
of the Anglo American alliance
would be so great that no nation
or nations of Europe would be
tempted to trv the issue of a great
war. SPANS effort will prove
futile.

The Popullst View.

The Boise Sentinel of last week
gave editorially the clearcst cut
ideas of the populist view of the
financial question that have been
presented in any Of the late dis
cussions. 1t offers criticism to the
resolutions passed BY the populist
central committee of Washington
county and says:
The Sentinel is inclined to be.
lieve the authors of the resolutions
have fallen into the first error al
luded to, and in a spirit Of fairness
and desire for the party good, The
subjoined criticisms are offered:
The resolution starts off with a
declaration that the financial
question is the principal issue be-
fore the people tor settlement.
Granted. But the same paragraph
says: therefore with view to
promoting the sourse of bimetal-
lism, be it resolved, etc
do the populists OF Washington
county intend to say that 'bimetal-
lism is all there is to the hnan-
cial question: IF so they have
not yet imbibed very deeply of the
draught of populism.
The great question of green
backs versus interest bearing bonds,
that is today being so bitterly
fought in congress is very great
part of the financial question.
The question of an income tax to
reach the invested wealth of the
money kings is part of the finan-
cial question. Bimetta!lism is a
part of that great question, and
the populist party has united all
these three fundamental principles.
and those persons wherever found,
who would sacrifice any of teose
elementary principles of our party
for any coalition with other parties,
either county, state or national,
are not populists.
Since the summer of 1906 it
has been the war cry of those who
would destroy the populist party
to unite on the silver question.
The party has never so far,
yielded to this siren song, and we
do not believe the populists of
Washington county are in sympa.
thy with any such movement.
The Sentinel is in favor of a union
upon the financial question, but
not upon the silver question or
as 1t is expressed in the resolution,
'bimcttalism.'
with all those who believe in
all The financial question: as
enunciated in the faith of populism,
are we Ill favor of uniting, allow
ing for the sake of humanity, other
great questions to take for the
time secondary pl ice, but when
ever the populist party narrows lis
vision to one idea of bimetallisn,
ruin, dissolution and an open
grave are in the pathway it must
follow.

Cats That Hunt Snakes.

A peculiar story of cats hunting and
capturing snakes alive comes from
Norfolk. A business man was at a house
there recently, when he was surprised
to see sleek cats come up to the door
step, each having live snake in its
mouth.
The snakes averaged about foot
and half long, the largest one being
in the possession of fine yellow cat
and over two feet in length. The cold
weather had taken some of the life
out of the reptiles, and to make them
less vigorous, the cats seemed to have
filed their skins with q number OF
small punctures by biting them. The
snakes were dropped upon the ground
and toyed with by the cats, but not by
throwing them about as they do rats
and mice. Instead they would stand
staring at their prey, while the latter
held up their heads and stuck out
their tongues. Then the cats would
jump upon their victims and again put
thel. teeth through their skins.
A fourth cat made its appearance
while the other three were playing
with the snakes, and tried hard to
have some one of them allow him to
take part in the fun, but it was angri.
ly repulsed every time it attempted to
interfere. The four cats belong to
the same woman, and she said that
hardly day passes since summer be.
gan that they have not brought snakes
into the yard. The biggest catch
which the foor-footed snake hunters
have taken from the woods and swamps
near the house was one of about a
month ago, when the big yellow cat
walked into the kitchen with four
foot snake wrapped about its body.
The cats seem capable of rendering
the snakes almost powerless without
killing them, and, after playing with
them till they are satisfied, kill them.

Floating up a River.

It was vexed question in 1890
whether the Pilcomayo river, which
flows fer hundreds of miles from the
Bolivian Andes to the Paraguay, might
be used as commercial highway from
Bolivia to the ocean. Our country
man, Captain Page, settled this ques-
ton SO conclusively that no further
effort to utilize the Pilcomayo is likely
to be made and in this work, that
cost him his life, for he died OF his
privations after being hemmed in for
months by hostile Indians, he devised
plan for steaming up river when the
water was SO low that his vessel was
stuck in the mud. He was determined
to go still further, though his little
steamer, which drew only eighteen
inches, rested on the river bottom,
so behind the boat he threw mp an
embankment of earth clear across the
channel, backed it with palm trunks
and brushwood, and before long the
~water had risen couple of feet, and
the little Bolivia was able to go on her
way four miles before she stuck again.
Then another dam was built, and this
process was repeated seven times, and
with the aid of the dams the vessel
advanced about thirty-fve miles above
the highest point she could reach al
the natura! low-water stage. Harper

cient period were pretty much the
same. The same plants grew contem.
poraneously in Greenland and in Cal
ifornia, in Spitzbergen and in Virginia.
There was uniformity OF vegetation
in all parts of the earth. Nobody can
say just why this was, though several
theories have been advanced to ac.
count for it. One theory is that the
atmosphere in those days was heavily
charged with watery vapor, so that
warmth was readily distributed
through it, and the suns rays did not
have chance to strike the earth di
rectly, making differences in climate
by the degree of their slant. In the
course of time the atmosphere thinned
gradually, and then came climatic va
riations marking series of zones
around the earth.-Washington Path

keeping Onions in winter.

There is no difficulty in keeping
onions in winter provided they are
kept in dry place where, if once
frozen, they will stay frozen until
spring. The cellar is always too
warm for them. They will begin to
rot and also to sprout long before
spring. We have found the best
place, a dry loft in the horse barn,
where the onions can be spread thinly
with some hay thrown over them.
The hay is not to prevent freezing.
That is always expected. But once
frozen, the hay is so poor conductor
that ordinary winter thaws are too
short to affect them. On no account
should onions be handled when they
are frozen. 1t is sure to make them
rot. But if they thaw out undisturbed
they will be as fresh in spring when
taken from the loft as they were when
put up, and with very little loss. The
white-skinned varieties are, however,
very poor keepers, and this plan may
not succeed with them. though it is

With you sitting close beside me, dear,
Singing sweet love songs still.

The days Of long ago,
When loves young dream made everything

Oh, for stretch Of country, dear,
With meadow and winding lane,
Where, strolling together,I L told you, dear,
Successes hoped to attain.
Just as 1 did In the days gone by,
The days of long ago,
As beneath skies of blue, we pledged love
anew,
Our future all aglow.
Oh, for a stretch OF country, dear,
With its clover and fields of rye,
That might retrace our footsteps, dear,
With many a sorrowing sigh.
And dream DER again Of the days gone by,
For oh! loved you 50,
When down through the heather, We wan
dered together,
In days oflong ago.

Gntters in Cow stables.

On the subject OF gu tiers in COW
stables, there seems to be an endless
variety of opinions ranging all the way
from cutters 1 saw in a Vermont stable
deep enough and wide enough to bury
a good sized COW in. imagined that
all the cows must have fallen in it at
least once when young in order
to keep out of it when old enough to
get hurt by such fall. This deep gut
ter was some four feet in the rear Of
the stalls, and held three or four
months accumulation of manure. But
that was dirty trick and don't count.
Some people have cutters eighteen
inches wide and six inches deep, while
others have no cutters at all.
have often noticed that where the
cutters had only medium fall OF
slant that the cows never make urine
enough to flow out the end of the gut
ter. 1t is always absorbed by the solid
droppings and other things that get in
the trough. Sometimes when the
stable is short it is easier to have q
gutter to shovel or shove the manure
out, but if there is anything like q
dozen stalls I would prefer no gutter
at all, for q cows foot often slips in it
and spatters manure over everything
in reach. It makes bad place to ac
cumulate mess for the cows tail tc
rest in when she is lying down, ano
when made to get up for milking tha
tail in fly time becomes an evil to bt
avoided. Home and Farm.

Eggs by Deception.

Ipresume many are wishing they
had poultry house or two suitable
for winter egg production, but are de-
tered from building by the expense.
They think it must be built of planed
and matched lumber and painted. A
carpenter would also have to be en-
ployed to use such material. This is
all delusion. The hen is not par
ticular in regard to the appearance OF
her quarters, but she is sensitive to
the cold. If only the cutting north
winds can be shut out, and the bright
sunshine from the south let into her
quarters, she may be deceived and be-
gin laying. SO long as she can be
made to believe that spring or summer
has entered her quarters she will con-
tinue to lay, but let the season change
into fall or winter, and she ceases.
This kind of deception is entirely par
donable, although it may be done for
selfish gain.
A very warm and roomy poultry
house may be built in the following
manner: Set eight posts in the ground,
inclosing an area sixteen feet square.
Saw them off level about two feet high,
and on the tops spike plates of 3x4
scantling. Upon this place half
pitch roof and roof-board it tightly.
Cover with paper and shingle. Double
board the gables and sides with three
quarter-inch stuff, with paper between
and batten. Place two windows and
a door in the end facing the south, and
you have warm, roomy building,
The lumber used may be bought fol
$5 per thousand feet, and the build
ing may be put up without the aid o.
q mechanic. 20. NJ. D., in New York

THE MOON TO BLAME.
Theories of Ocean Tides-Sun Less Power
full Than the Earth's Satellite.

Theories of Ocean Tides-Sun Less Power.
full Than the Earth's Satellite.
Professor Ct. H. Darwin, in his lee.
ture in the Lowell Institute course,
explained the causes of daily high and
low tides. "When the moon is over
any spot on the earth the water is
drawn up toward it by the force it ex.
erts, and at the point directly oppo.
site, on the other side of the earth, the
water is also raised in the form of a
big wave," said Professor Darwin.
"Between these points, on either side
of the earth's circumference, the ocean
is depressed, the moon thus tending
to form spheroid of the waters, and
giving rise to two high and two low
tides in the course of one revolution
of the earth.
ssTo understand the bi-monthly
spring and neap tides we must take
into account also the effect of the sun
on the oceans. The force exerted by
the sun is 26-59ths as powerful as that
of the moon, and when there is full
moon or a new moon the force of both
bodies is acting together, and gives
tides. But when the moon is half
way between new and full, waxing or
waning, the force of the sun is acting
at right angles to that cf the moon.
AS the sun exerts about half the power
of the moon over the tides, the differ
ence between the effect of the two act
ing together and in opposition is about
as three to one, so that the tides aris-
ing from the conflict of the force OF
sun and moon are only one-third as
great as the spring tides. These
minor tides are called neap tides.
'The observed fact that high tides
do not occur when the moon is over
head, but several hours later, was ex-
planned as due mainly to the compara-
tive shallowness of the oceans and to
the different velocities of all points on
the earth's surface between the maxi
mum of 25, 900 miles day at the
equator and zero at the poles. "--Bos-
