banks Of the beautiful Hudson. It was
an exquisite place, all set about with
trees and glowing in the summer time
with flowers. "A happy woman might

green bank in the sun through long
afternoon and never grow weary Of it;
and while others worked she would
trtde with ball of worsted in the
idlest way, tangling it, and throwing
It aside at last. Life was playtime to
her and she never pretended anything
else.
Perhaps as we sat in the sun, on
the garden chair, she at my feet, we
were thinking Of the same thing. Per-

graceful form, that long-but let me

beneath my window, and serenade her.

TEMPERATURES OF ANIMALS

The number of interesting observa-
tons on the temperatures of animals in
relation to the temperature of the air
or water in which they live are de-
scribed by Mr.. Alexander Sutherland
in the latest volume published by the
Royal Society of Victoria. It is we'll
known that the temperature of the hui
man body in health is 81 or SO degrees
Fab, and this is the same within a
degree both in winter and summer.
The average body temperature of
what are known as warm-blooded ami
mails Is little higher than this, being
100 degrees Fah., and except in con-
stitutional disturbances, this does not
vary more than three or four degrees
at any time of the year. No mammal,
indeed, seems in good health to be
warmer than 104 degrees; scarcely any
descend lower than SO degrees. The
warm blooded animals are thus ami
mails whose temperatures, whether the
weather be hot or cold, are practically
uniform.
On the other hand, cold-blooded ami
mails have no proper temperature Of
their own; they are warm in warm
weather and cold in cold weather. A
fish, snake, frog, or an insect, when
at rest, is rarely more than two or
three degrees warmer than the air or
water in which it is living. Mr.. Suth-
erland placed some lizards in cold
heated, and he found that in all cases
the lizards became warmer as the
water was warmed and cooler as the
water was cooled-in other words, they
depended upon external circumstances
for their heat. But this is not abso-
lutely true, for when angry, cold
blooded animals, like human beings,
become hotter than usual, even a fish
rising several degrees above the tenn
perature of the water when it is ex-
asperated.
Under normal conditions, however,
fishes and reptiles have practically the
same temperature as the medium IN
which they live; when it is warm,
they become warm and active, and
when it is cold they lose their, bodily
activity and become torpid. The ami
mails which are active in all weathers
are those which. are self-supporting as
regards heat, and whose body tenn
peratures vary very slightly.
An interesting point brought out by
Mr.. Sutherland's observations of the
temperatures of Australian animals is
that the mammals which are classed
lowest from considerations of body
structure are not only the lowest tenn
perature, but also Of the greatest range
of variability, being most affected by
the temperature of the air or, water
surrounding them.

A Klondike Newspaper.

The Klondike Nugget, one of the two
papers published at Dawson, is having
a great deal Of trouble finding it's town
subscribers, who pay $24 a year for
the privilege of getting a semi-weekly
edition. A paragraph in recent issue
explains the difficulty by saying that
it is very hard to find some of the
houses according to the addresses left
at the office. Among those mentioned
were 'tthe cabin with the screen door,"
stthe slab house facing the river" "the
big tent with two stove pipes" and "the
cabin three doors south of where all
the dogs are."-Seattle Post-Intelli-

Sentinel Holds Up an Officer.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean: An
Irish sentinel Of the Fifth Missouri at
Chickamaugua was sharply reproved
by the officer Of the day for permitting
persons to approach without giving
the countersign. The Irishman listen
ed patiently and was then about to
walk away, when the officer called
sharply, well, you haven't asked me
for that countersign yet Quick as a
flash the soldier thrust his bayonet=
point uncomfort ably close to the of
:6cer's breast, while he grimly ejacu-s
lated, Lave us have that countersign,
thin, and be dom quick about it!a

eight or ten months have elapsed
the jelly is found as soft and fresh at
the top OF the glass as at the bottom,
and the wax can be saved and used
Tor the same purpose again.-Americap

The denomination of Mckinley

The denomination of Mckinley
would be distasteful to republi-
cans who have wearied of his
time-serving methods. He lacks
decision of character and vigor
in carrying out even what he
believes to be for the welfare of
his party. To republicans of the
higher class he lacks all of the
qualities that go to make up a
good president.-Kansas CITY

act of the great concentration Of
gold in the Klondike does not
necessarily imply that the rocks
of that region were extraordin-
arily rich or very much richer
than those of other we'll known
gold regions, but that the
amount of gold bearing rock
planed down by the glaciers was
locally greater and the rapid
concentration locally of gold
may have been due to glaciers
not carrying their debris far, and
that it was not subject to the
scattering and distributing force
of great rivers.

While the Boise ring is busily
engaged in grooming Judge
Huston for denomination as a
member of the supreme court it
might be well for the citizens
outside of the state capitol to
select a man for that most i'm
portant office. The Record has
always held that the judiciary
should be taken out of politics,
only such men be placed in
charge OF our courts who are of
unquestioned ability, and whose
every day life would not cause a
tlnge OF shame to mantle the
cheek OF any citizen of our state.
The fact that a certain clique of
lawyers located at Boise are
urging the nomination of Judge
Huston is of itself warning that
should be needed before it is too
late. Some of our readers may
ask who outside the Boise candi-
date can fill the Office of Justice
OF the supreme court ? What's

With former Senator German in
the city, it is generally remarked
that the Democracy is very well

task of encouraging the trusts

protege, Mckinley.
The president was visited this
week by a committee of the G..
A. r., including COMMANDMENT
Chief Shaw, and presented a
memorial from the National En-
campment at Philadelphia, re-
questing an executive order per-
hitting the extending of the
limit of widows pensions from
1896 to $3.50 per year. The presi-
dent did not intimate his views
on the matter, and it is the gen
eral opinion that the question
will be left to Congress to settle.
Contrary to general expectation,
the committee made no attack
upon Commissioner of Pensions
Evans, who although a strong
partisan, has so strictly adhered
to the letter and the spirit of the
pension laws as to win himself
the disapproval of the pension
attorneys and a considerable part
of the G. A. r. AS last year, "a
