Revenue Derived by Northern Montans
From Sheep.

Great Falls, Dec. THE subject of
the revenue derived by the residents of
Northern Montana from the WOO in
dustry has been made the object of
considerable investigation on the part
Of the Benton Press. That paper COM
putes In total from this source of
wealth to have been about three mil
lions of dollars during the past sea-
son. 1t says:
"A tabulation of the wool shipments
from the various railroad points in this
section of the state give a total OF
about II, 000. 900 pounds. A large pro-
portion OF the clips sold at Is cents and
over, but taking the low figure of Is
cents as al average. 1t will be found
that the Northern Montana wool clip
of The best season had a value OF at
least 81. 100. 600. and doubtless consider
ably exceeded that amount.
The mutton shipments also repre-
scented an amount reaching the million
dollar mark. The principal shippers
were the Eastern buyers and specula-
tors. j. b. Long OF Sycamore, ILL.,. pur-
chased over 10000 head In Northern

220.O 600 head were bought by these In
dividuais or firms. To this must be
added the purchases made by Messrs
Rice. Ragland. Parkhurst. Hamilton
Seekins and others. as well as quite a

individual owners-additions which
would make the total shipments ovei

NOVEL TREATMENT.
The Russians Take an Ant Bath to

Ihe Auss1Ens rake an Ant Bath to

The Russian peasants, more especial
ly those ree:ding in the nei~hborhood

method treating themselves for that
bane Of 1lnkind, rheumatism. MANY
cures, even in very bad cases, are. it
is claimed, effected by making the pa
tient take ant baths, says az exchange.
The manner of preparing these baths
is as follows: An anthill is sought, and
when found. sack Is filled with ants.
ants eggs, and If it be considered neces-
sary, tain quantity CT the earth
which {. oses the hill. The sack is
then cio crmetically ard carried to
the home the sufferer. A warm bath
is ALREADY prepared here, ard the sack
Is plunged bodily into the hot water.
Soon this latter begins to give off pc
culiar rungent odor, characteristic of
formic acid. The bath is now ready for
the patients immersion. The action of
the bath on the skin is one of intense
Irritation, and the result seems to be a
drawing out of the evil, and the con-
sequent disappearance of the rheumatic
pains.
1t is advisable for anyone who may
be tempted to try this remedy to be
careful not to remain too long in the
ant bath, as the consequences might be
a total disorganization of the skin,
which would peel off, due to the violent
action of the acid.

it: 1 got my instruments eady, placed
the man in a chair under the electric

his side. Then 1 ran to the telephone
