silva AND DEW.

The Fearful Devil of the HindOOs
and His Principal Wife.
silva is both typical of destruction
and of reproduction. But the latter at
tribute was doubtless later addition
to the sum Of his qualities. The orig
inal conception of this deity was that
of a power delighting in destruction
in the achievement of physical evil and
wrong and in hurting death and devas-
tatiou upon the people and their land.
He is represented in the sacred books
of the HindOos as ''the terrible Destroy
err the one who delights in the de-
structiOn of men" But in all this there
is no whisper as yet Of any moral quail
tiles of evil The conception is entirely
one of physical power, used with the
utmost maIeVolence and injustice
against men.
Along with his principal wife, who
is variously called Devi, Durga, Una
and Kali, ne is portrayed as the incar-
NATION of physical evil, wrong, injus-
tee or misfortune In the "Puranas"
silva is described as wandering about
surrounded by ghosts and COLLINS, in
ebriated, naked and with disheyeled
hair, covered with the ashes Of "a flu
neral pile ornamented with human
skulls and bones, sometimes laughing
and sometimes crying, Dew, his con
sort. is represented with a hideous and
a terrible countenance streaming with
blood, encircIed with snakes, hung
round with skulls and human heads
and in all respects resembling a fury
rather than a goddess The only pleas
ure which silva and Dew feel is when
their affairs are drenched with blood,
which, of course could not be shed
without the destruction of some form
of life.-Westminste Review.

r1ANY TO CHOOSE FRon.
Democrats Have Many Candidates
for County Officers.

The Democrats of Stevens county
will on July 9TH nominate full
county ticket This will be the first
real county convention that the party
has held in years and yet it is said
that there are many aspirants for
each place on the ticket. Who the
various "Barkises' are is not gener-
ally known.
The Times says that R. H. Grace
will be the nominee fer county attor-
ney. Mr.. Grace is making a thor
ough canyass of the county. He
says that he will put up strong,
clean fight for the office.
The nomination for clerk of court
will be sought by A. L Stenger.
Mr.. Stenger would command the
solid vote of his own party, and
would no doubt make large inroads
into the floating vote OF the county
But very little else is known of the
plans of the Democrats, except as to
their general purpose Of distributing
the nominations in different parts of
the county.
That the contest this fall will be a
lively one is conceded by all.

THE HARDY GOAT.
III Can BE Made Valuable as Dairy
Animal.

Animal
THE usefulness of the goat in clearing
foul lands and the pToftableness of the
animal for its hair, skin and even car
ssass are becoming pretty well under
stood. But the goat is valuable as a
dairy animal If the cows, for in
!. stance, are being used for supplying a
city milk trade. the keeping of goats
for tie home milk supply would be an
excellent policy. The goat will live
where a cow would starye, and, while
it, like every domestic animal, will Go
best on good pasture, it will live ana
yield milk on astonishingly little food.
The animal and its milk are almost
entirely exempt from disease. The
milk is more nutritious than that of the
cow and agrees with stomachs that
cows milk frequently offendS. The
animal requires only the cheapest kind
of shelter, but it needs shelter from the
storms and in winter. If by reason OF
drought soiIing is necessary, leaves
yegefa Die refuse, Feelings of the apple
or potato. bread crusts or stale bread,
if they are sweet and clean, will be all
the feed that is needed.
All goats however, will not eat the
same food. and the feeder will have to
study the appetites of the individual
animal Frequent feeding and a va
riety of food in winter will be found
beneficial Roots, oilmeal oats, corn
(of the latter in the whole state the
Goat is very fond), are proper feed, es-
peciaIly for the milking goat. Rock
salt is greatly relished. The flavor OF
goats milk cannot be distinguished
from that of cows milk if it is proper
ly cared for. From three to four pints
a day is the average yield of good
milker. The milk is so rich and OF
such a character that in making pastry
it will take the place of eggs.--Epito-
mist.

"He hunts around until he finds some
badly managed chophouse-some place,
you know, where it can be seen from the
outside that everything is done in a SLOW
emily way; then he goes in, shifts around
and notices the uninviting appearance Of
things, thus spelling his appetite and
making it unnecessary to pay for having
himself fed"

forts than he might otherwise feel it nee

TELLING FOREST GIANTS.

Methods Used In Catting Down the
Redwoods of California.
1t Is a most interesting sight to behold
one of these giant redwoods fall. The
process Of cutting Is effected through the
use of the ak and the saw. All axes are
double faced, through which much time
is saved in sharpening. Sometimes the
axes start the cut on both sides of the
trunk and at places about opposite each
other through the thickness Of the tree.
After the chopping has penetrated to the
depth of about two feet on each side the
saw is started in the line of the incision
and the job completed with that instru-
ment. Generally, however, the direction
In which the tree is to fall Is determined,
and the cut is made in that side to the
depth of one to three feet. Then the
choppers pass to the opposite side and be-
gin saving at a point several feet higher
than the place of the incision. AS the
saw moves through the heart of the giant
he begins to sag down on the side where
the wound is gaping. In doing this he
lifts apart the cut and opens the section
which the saw is making, thereby keep
ing free play for the saw. This is aided
at times by driving wedges at the place
where the saw entered.
Presently il is apparent that the section
is opening wider and wider and that the
tree is beginning to lean away from the
cutters. They continue with their work
q moment longer, then Is heard the crack
ing of the wood fibers In front of the saw
teeth. Another swish of the saw, and
these increase. They give report like
firing pistols and the rapidity of detona-
ton of a Gatiing gun. The sounds, get
ting more rapid, presently merge into
continuous roar. Then il you are stand
ing near by and the tree is large you will
get the impression that everything above
Is coming TO earth, that the whole forest
is falling. The great mast starts slowly
to topple, cracking and exploding ever
louder at its base, until with a fearful
momentum it comes sprawling down,
cracking and crashing and roaring and
hitting the earth with clump and thump
as IL a whole broadside of 10 inch bombs
had simultaneously struck bastion.
The choppers quickly run over the
trunk with their axes and cut away al
the branches. Almost before you can re-
cover yourself the long stalk Is bare Of
limbs, and then the men begin cross cut
ting 1t into logs or sections OF from "a to
80 feet, as long as it is desired that the
boards into which 1t Is to be reduced at
the mill shall be. This done, the logs are
peeled of their bark, the erowbar being
used to pry off the thick integument,
which Is sometimes foot in depth, the
log being turned with jackscrews when
such is practicable to get at the under
side.-San Francisco Call.

THE PORTO RICAN BILL.
some Amends ents Introduced by sena.
tor Foraker.

Washington, March 27.-SenRtor For
aksr introduced several Amendments 10
the Porto Rican governmental bill which
had been read to the Republican Senator
ial caucus yesterday some OF which the
caucus agreed to. Three amendments
were incorporated into new print OF the
bill and the bill as thus amended intro
duced rs q new measure.
The first change Ia made In ssction
scribsd rs "ths citizens of Porto Rico and
as such entitled to the protection of the
United States" whereas In the old bill
they were designsted as "citizens Of the
United States" The other amendments
provide for the fifteen par cent tariff duty
on articles going into Porto Rico to the
United States and coming into the
United States from Porto Rico except In
the case of thoss articles mentioned In the
United States taJin laws as being exempt
from duty. A duty OF five cents yer
pound shall be levied on all coffee i'm.
ported into Porto Rico. A system of
local taxation shall be enacted by the
legislative assembly of Porto Rico and
the moneys from this source would be
place at the disposal Of the President to
be used for the government and the bene-
fit of the island. The internal revenue
laws of the United States are exempted
from the provision that they shall have
full force in Porto Rico and instead of q

KENTUCKY MUST GO ALONE
There VIII BE Nothing Like Federal In
reference.

Washington, March 27.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day. Secretary Root prslentsd q
proposition which had besn submitted by
General Otis, looking to the establish
ment of four geographical divisions OF the
Philippine archipelago, each to be under
ths immediate supervision or military
government. This plan, 1t was thought.
would relieve General Otis from much
routine work and at the same time result
istration Of the affairs Of the several d.
visions. The proposition met with gen.
eral approval. and General Otis will be
SO informed. The details Of the plan will
be worked out as soon Is possible. The
cabinet also discussed the situation In
Kentucky. Senator Dsbos and Repre-
sentative Pugh saw the President and
several members of the cabinet before the
meeting today. 1t is learned that no fed
eral interference was requested nor is any
desired, but IL has been intimated that
the moral support Of tbs administration
would be very helpful and welcome. as
would an expression of sympathy. The
delegations that have been here 90 far "a
can be learned HAYS asked nothing more
than that. 1t can be stated on high su-
thority that however much the President
may sympAtnize with the Republicans In
Kentucky. he realizes that the federal
government cannot take any part In the
controversy. The questions at issue are
before the courts and so far as the gov
erument Ia concerned, 1t Is positively as
serted they will be allowed to pass upon
them without sthe least interference or
expression Of interest by the federal au-
thorities.
