The cutting affair at Garnet, which was
mentioned in the Inter Mountain of last
Saturday, is given in full in the Garnet
News as follows:
The most serious of the rather too nu-
merous personal encounters in Garnet
occurred on the morning of the 10Th in
the street near the saloon of Connors <
Harwood. Thomas Mcclure was called
out on the street, set upon, beat. bruised,
kicked and stabbed, and those interested
and engaged in it We're Dan Mcpherson,
Jack Lavelle, Mike Lavelle and Joe
Erwin. There We're several witnesses to
the ~fracas, but no one interfered, and
Mcclure was permitted to take the awful
punishment without a chance for de-
Tense, which he did, never w~himpering,
until with a groan he tainted from loss
of blood. He was stabbed, evidently
with a pocket knife, in the back sever
times and once in the arm. the most Serl-
Gus wound being directly over the kid
neys. He is now at the Garnet hotel
under the charge of DR.. Palmer, who be-
plications he will recover

charged, and they We're Immediately
placed under 81, 900 bonds each by Judge
Childs. Not being able to furnish the
amounts they We're taken to jail in

THE MISSING

They've discovered fever microbes,
There are microbes IN the air.
It's indeed, the age Of microbes,
There are microbes everywhere.
There are deadly microbes lurking
In the things we have to eat.
There are microbes in the leather
That we Wear upon our fet.
When a mans lips meet a maiden's
There are microbes present, and
There are microbes in the money
That is passed from hand to hand
Microbes everywhere and always
Bringing sickness and distress,
And I wonder if they'll ever
Find the microbe of success?

THE KAISER AFRAID OF ANAR-
CHISTS.
Instructed His Chief of Police to Meas
ure Them by the Bcrtillon System.

The Emperor William is an enemy to
anarchy. He has decided to stamp it out
of ermany and with that end in view
has adopted the Bertillon system OF
measuring anarchists. The measure
ments are to be carefully placed on file
and as soon as 4 suspect crosses the Dor
der he will be measured by the system,
and, if his lines are found to correspond
with those on record, he will be arrested.
The emperor has introduced the Bertll-
Ion system throughout Germany and has
instructed the police authorities to famll-
iarize themselves with it. Other coun-
tries may make anarchists feel at home,
but the Fatherland will expel them.
In adopting the Bertillon system the
emperor has taken a step toward the IN
ternational identification OF CRIMINALS
which was founded by Alphonse Bertillon
in 1883. Bertillon in that year invented
a system of man measurement which he
called Bertillon's anthropometry, a sys-
TEN by means of which prisoners could be
identified and arrested beyond all mistake.
This system was soon made general in
France where it was found of the utmost
practical benefit, but it was sometime be-
fore other countries adopted it.
1t was Immediately taken up in a linn
tied way in the United States and was
used by private detectives in connection
with foreign criminals. They applied 1t
upon suspected persons who had been
measured by the Bertillon system abroad,
and by carefully following out its details
they We're able to do a great deal of skill
full detective work. Between 1888 and 1890
private detectives worked so skillfully
upon the Bertillon system that the private
lntnntI1-, r1Ic of tho TTrttnl SfatnC hn.
came known all the world over.
A private detective. it may be stated, is
a man who works upon what the Yankees
call his own hook" He engages officers,

rot an Yntroduction.

1T have shaken hands with one oi your presidents, said an English lady recently, chatting with young Amer ican on her travels. My sister and l were in Washington, and we heard that one could simply go to the White House, with no formalities, and go in and shake hands with the president, and we thought we would do it. There was a crowd of people and we passed in in line, and shook hands, and passed out again. It was very odd. Of course, we knew it was not an introduction. Our friends were quite angry. We are very well known" (this was said with entire simplicity, merely as mentioning an u1 oubted facD land they said we s.ouId have procured presentation through our embassy. Indeed, they d.d not like it at all" But why?" inquired the American girl, rather puzzled. "Oh!" rejoined the English- woman, laughing, "it was certainly mira dig.; and then it was not a real introduction, don't you know. We en- joyed it-but it's surely a very odd custom of yours, eh? Her tone, as she narrated the little incident, was exactly that of a lively schoolgirl, re- lating some harmlessly audacious escapade for which she can feel as- sured of the family forgiveness, though scarcely of the family approval. Our handshaking habits are sometimes criticised from within, as well as from without. Much promiscuous hand shaking is certainly an inflictior to which it seems rather eSurd and un- fair to subject man with so many duties of high importance Co attend to as the head of our nation. Neither is such a reception of the general public particularly graceful or impressive function. Neyertb eless, it stands for some things in our national ideals neither paltry nor undignified, and woe unto the political party under whose auspices the custom should happen to be discontinued.

Four Famons statues.

The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thebes. and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of it's property of emitting sounds when it's lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally 8 portrait model of King Amenophis III, and was one of a pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high carved out of single blocks of sand- stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so well known the most remarkable is that of Bu7dha at Nara, rear Kioto, in Japan, which was erected A. D. HOO. It is made of bronze, and is fifty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 cur1s, and the im- age is surrounded by a glory or halo seventy-eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images, each twenty-five feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight of metal in the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 500 pounds consist of gold.

TREES.

It is estimated that 400, 900 900 feet of logs will be cut in Maine this sea- son.
 That wood will stand the passing of centuries as well as metal is proved by the unearthing near the Nile of some Egyptian boats nearly 5000 years old. which are in good condition.
 Norway and Sweden export an inn mense amount of lumber. In one year 16.000,000 worth of manufactured lum~ Der was sent out by Norway. while Sweden exceeded this sum by $20, ,00o,- 900 worth of sawn and hewn lumber alone.
 The most noted grove of walnut trees in the United States, containing fifty-one black walnut trees, all of them of enormcus size, was sold at Cassopolis, Mich, for ,000 cash The purchasers were German and English parties. The logs will be cut and squared for shipment. It is estimated that one of the trees will produce S1.- 200 worth of choice lumber It was oyer 100 feet of good logging size, its largest diameter was feet, eircumfer- ence 21.99 feet and it would require five men hand in hand to encircle it.
 A curiosity exists near the Red Bluff Primitive Baptist church in Ware county, Georgia. It is mammoth mulberry tree and the heart has long since routed. Out of the heart of the mulberry grows a cherry and peach tree, both of which are eight inches in diameter. They grow to point ten feet above the ground. All three of the trees are alive and bear fruit every year.

4 sailors Gratitude.

Edward McGarry. the sailor of the Resolute who was pardoned from Portsmouth jail by Gov Rollins, where he Was serving a six months sentence for disorderly conduct has gone home to Norfolk, Va, says the Manchester (N. H. Union. Before leaving he made fro:l a piece of the aft rail of the United States steamship Maine q paper weight, which Lawyer John H. Bartlett, who was his counsel, has for warded to Gov. Rollins. The design was suggested by McGarry. The top bears the inscription, Edward Me Garry to Gov Rollins," while on the reverse is neatly engraved, Made from the aft rail of the U. S. Maine"
 McGarry is an artist as well as sailor and has drawn sketch of an other paper weight which he is to have made. When speaking of it he said: T wanted to show my apprecia- tion of what your governor did for me. The metal of which that paper weight is made came from the United States steamship Maine, now in Ha-  vana harbor I took it from the wreck myself, with view of having a large paper weight made to present to the governor of Maine. This little token which I am now having made to send to Gov Rollins is hurried af- fair l am going to give him better one. Here is a picture of it which have designed. You see, the base is to represent a rough rock, typical of a sailor. On the top you see a sailors hat, with the band U. s. S. Resolute upon it, while upon the top of the hat you see a pair of handeuffs, the con- meeting link of which has been cut in two by quill pen"
 The whole affair will weigh nearly pound and half and engraved upon a little tablet on the face of the rock will be the words, Gov Rollins freed a sailor of the hesolute"
 On the bottom of the weight will be engraved: Presented to Gov. F. W. Rollias in remembrance of the kind ness shown Edward MeGarry of the U. s. 5. Resolute."

 Flower pots exposed along the win- dow lodges prove that spring is here, There is no better sign. All winter the faint blooms have shone behind the glass of the panes. but now they take the open air like invalids confined for long, but conValescing. They are curious things, flower pots, and evil dence the love of nature born in us all and staying with us to our latest breath. They are seen, too, in the most curious places. There Is huge smoke-grimed factory on the west side. ten stories high. The air about it is thick with coal dust and soot. Yet all summer it's lodges bloom like gardens. One knows that many girls work in that factory. The flowers are watered from tin cups that are carried full and dripping the long length of the halls In the luncheon half hour. Men would not take the trouble, but the woman who does not love buds and blooms is as rare as the woman who does not love babies.

The Taxam.ter a Success.

The statement is confidently mad that the taxameter, or cab-fare indl cator. will quickly be introduced il all the civilized cities of the world. T appears that in both Berlin and Lon don, where the taxameter has bee1 adopted, it has been as popular witt the "eabby" as with the fare Thl reason of this surprising fact Is tha this system of automatic farC indica tion effectively and permanently in| creases the number of fares. Man1 persons object to ride in cabs beeaus of the possibility of an altercattol with the driver as to the amount q the fare when the trip is ended. Al that Is put at an end by the taxamq ter, which shows, in plain sight, th distance traversed and the fare to
 paid. Consequently more persons al riding in cabs today than ever rod before, and the increase in the numb4 of fares is looked upon as permanenI The taxameter also enables the pr4 prietor to control and check the dai receipts and efficiency Of the Yehic% or the distance covered by 1t.
