HEAVY RAINS HAVE FALLEN.
Is of InestimabIe Value to the Grow
ing Crops.

Palouse. May pa refreshing rain,
which is of inestimable value to growing
crops fell here last night. Rain began
falling about o'clock and continued near
~ all night in a steady fall, which wet the
ground to a depth of several inches. 1t is
impossible to estimate the value of this
rain. which means hundreds of thousands
of dollars to this country A large yield
of fail and early spring sown wheat will
make a fair crop if no more rain falls,
provided there are no not winds. Some OF
the latest sowing has not yet come up and
would not had it not been for this rain.
Now it will come up at once and is almost
certain 10 make a fair crop
Rain Was General.
The rain was general throughout the
Palouse country. People OH the train re-
port a hard rain ali down the line as far
as Genesee, where rain fell steadily and
hard all night. Reports from Endcott
and Winona say a hard rain fell there
and it is believed to have extended over
all of the Inland Empire. Near Endcott
there are hundreds of acres of volunteer
wheat just ready to head out and this was
needing rain quite badly. The rain of last
night insures big yield of this grain,
which will be ready TO cut about July 10.
Every one feels encouraged and n the
hest of spirits this morning, and while
few had any grave fears of damage by
drouth, the rain removes all doubt and
insures another season Of prosperity for
not only the farmers but all classes of
PEOPLE in this country. The sky is cloudy
today and more rain is expected
OakesdaIe Delighted.
Oakesdale May PA welcome rain fell
here last night, adding thousands of BUSH
els to the grain crop of the country. While
no measurements were taken, it is esu-
mated that fully half an inch of rain fell
during the night, and the prospects are
good for more rain. This rain relieves all
immediate need, and if another good rain
falls by the middle of June an immense
grain crop is assured. Every one feels en-
couraged today, and the financial outlook
is very bright.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from q mothers Ignorance; or more
frequently from u mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa. shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that l
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. l was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtpcr.
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegeta bic Compound and Liver Pills as
YOU directed, and am now as we'll as l
ever was. have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured OF

SIX YEARS OF SILENCE.
The Well-Kept Vow of Prisoner in thu
California State Prison.

The Well-Kept Vow of q Prisoner in the
California State Prison.
Edward j. Cunningham was re-
leased from San Quentin, California,
a few days ago, after serving a SEN
tence of six years for burglary COM
mitted in Orange County, and with
his liberation there passed from the
prison walls one of the strangest char
acters that ever wore the striped garb
of the penitentiary.
When Cunningham was landed with
in the walls of San Quentin Prison he
turned to the Sheriff who had con-
,7rc'e1 him hither from the southern
p4l oi the State, and 'swore heavily
solemn oath that no word would es-
cape his lips during the period of his
incarceration. Cunningham stood by
his oath through the long, weary years
of his sentence, and his tongue never
loosened until he stepped without the
prison walls, free man.
Whenever it became necessary for
Cunningham to communicate his
needs or wants to others, he did so in
writing or by motions. After being
confined in the prison short time he
was thought to BE- insane and was sent
to the Ukiah Asylum. Here he was
confined but short time, for it was
soon ascertained he was in his right
mind and merely acting in stubborn
manner. Wordwas sent to the prison
officials and Guard Miller was sent to
to the asylum to bring the prisoner
back. When near Santa Rosa he
jumped through a car window, but
was captured after hard chase.
After his return he still preserved an
inviolable silence, and was put into
what is known as crank alley. Here
all kinds of influence we're brought to
bear upon him to cause him to speak,
but without avail. Ho also refused to
have his hair cut, and when release
yesterday morning his hair was meas
ured and was found to be fiftyfour
inches in length.
When relieved of his prison garb
smile overspread his countenance.
Several people spoke to him, but he
only grinned.. Once outside the pris-
on gate Cunningham made up for lost
time. He condemned everyone
around the prison for his confinement.
When asked how he managed to con.
troll himself and preserve an unbroken
silence for SO many years, he angrily
replied that he had no explanation to
make.

A STUDY o. MANKIND.
Some Odd Facts Connected with Tho
Human Body.

Human Body.
Human beings are of all sizes, but
the tall man is less common than the
short: only one in every aOS exceeds
the height of six feet. For every foot
OF stature man should weigh from
twenty-six to twenty-eight pounds, u
proportion that is not the lot of all in
these hurrying, scurrying days.
An average-sized man weighs 40
pounds; a woman 125 pounds. Curl.
ously enough, the mean weight and
height of lnnatics are below those of
sane people Another unexpected
thing in this respect is that negro's
skeleton weighs more than that of an
Englishmau.
The vitalizing power is the blood, q
drop of which takes but twenty-five
seconds to go the round of the body.
There passes through the heart once
in every three minutes an amount of
this precious fluid equal to all that is
contained in the body.
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astonishing and I'M
dreamed of truths. 1t is estimated
that, assuming the average speed of
the heart to be sixty-nine beats a
minute, the blood travels 2O7 yards
in sixty seconds; in other words
seven miles an hour, 16S a day, or
1920 per year.
If man of eighty -four could have
one single blood corpuscle floating in
his blood all his life. it would have
traversed in that period no less than
$3.50, sos miles.
The average weight Of the brain of
an adult male is three pounds eight
ounces, OF female, two pounds -four
ounces. The woman's brain begins
to decline in weight after the age o.
thirty, the mans not till ten years
later. According to high authorities
the nerves, with their branches and
minute rami6cations connecting with
the brain, exceed 100000 in num-
Der.
The palms OF the hands and soles OF
the feet are composed of cushions of
fat, in order that sudden jolts and
violent blows may be successfully
resisted, and no injury done to the
muscles and bones underneath.
The muscles-of which the tongue
monopolizes eleven-and bones Of the
human structure in combination are
capable of more than 1900 different
motions.
The teaching of experience indicates
that accidents are far more likely to
occur to the right leg and arm than to
the left. Further evidence of this
fact is supplied by the makers of arti-
fetal limbs; the dispose of many
more appendages to the right side Of
the body than to the other. Statistics
show that in fifty-four cases out of
hundred the left leg is stronger than
the right.
II man could move his legs pro-
portionally as fast as an ant, he would
travel not far short of 800 miles an
hour.

Whythe Light We tout.

In front of the high altar in the
cathedral at Salzburg there is great
lamp that is supposed to burn "for-
ever and day. One mornin r,years
ago, worshipers were surprised to see
it 60 out, and this was repeated morn.
ing after morning, Always about the
same time. 1t was thought the at
tendant had neglected to give it sufii-
cient oil, and though he declared his
innocence he was told that he would
be discharged il the o, ersight were
repeated. Unwilling to deal unjustly
with the man. the dean of the cathedral
hid himself one night to see if he could
solve the mystery. He had not long
to wait About 10 o'clock big rat
was seen descending the rope by which
the lamp was suspended. Having
reached the oil, it fed freely and then
went away by the way it came. Need
less to say that the attendant held his
place. Detroit Free Press.
