Professor Adametz. who devoted con-
siderable time to the study of the fra
grant subject. said that the population
of an ordinary cheese when a few
weeks old is greater than the number
Of persons upon the earth.
Professor Adametz made some inter-
esting researches dealing with the mi
mute organisms found in cheese. From
a microscopic examination Of soft
variety Of Gruyere cheese he obtained
the following statistics: In fifteen
grains of cheese, when perfectly fresh.
from 10000 to 10000 microbes were
found. and when the cheese was sew
enty days old the population had in
creased to 100000 in each fifteen
grains. An examination of denser
cheese at twenty-five days old proved
it to contain 100000 in each gram
(about fifteen grains) and when forty
five days old 100000 in the same
small particle.

Spiders Are Industrious.

No small insect ever escapes from
the web Of spider, fact which is
not to be wondered at when it is con-
sidered that an ordinary sized snare
may contain as many as 10000 viscid
globules. The spinner is constantly
engaged in repairing injuries to the
web inflicted by wind, stray leaves or
captured insects. Once a day the whole
snare is subjected to rigorous examina-
ton, and any broken or looseDed
threads are djusted.-Cornhill Maya

Fire!

A night fire alarm again
startled people early last Satur-
day morning, when shortly after
three O'Clock the barn in the rear
of Wood Bros hardware store
and belonging to that firm, was
discovered to be on fire by Night.
watchman Merry. DR.. Ferguson,
A. P. Lindquist and number of
Others who had been at the
militia ball were at the scene,
and while DR. Ferguson hurried
to ring the alarm, the others
forced their way into the barn
and released the five horses that
were in the building. The fire
seemed to have been started in
the hay loft, and it is supposed
that some belated individual had
gone into the barn to sleep and
had accidentally set the fire.
The hose was at the scene in a
short time, but there was nopress-
ure and the tiremen and spec.
tators simply had to stand by
and see the building burn. The
only other building endangered
was the dwelling house of Mrs.
Baird, but the bucket brigade
protected this. Besides the hay
and oats the barn was used as an
oil house and store room aud
contained a lot of machinery,
fencing and other property, all
of which was consumed. The
loss was about $1,000, with no
insurance.

Winter thunder is considered through
out Europe to be Of very ill omen, but
April thunder is considered to be very
beneficial. In Devonshire and other
cider counties of England there is
saying that "when it thunders in April
you must clean up the barrels"-in
readiness, that is, for plentiful crop
of apples.
The French consider April thunder
to be indicative of a good yield from
their vineyards and cornfields.

School Reports.

School reports will be due
parents next Monday for the
second month. Parents will
please study these reports care
fully, noting every item. Good
pupils do not stand much less
than 100 in department. In
studies they must stand Is to IS
to be at all satisfactory. Below
Is is not passable. If children
are not doing well, parents should
see whether the cause lies at or
near the home or at the school.
There is certainly a cause some
where and there should be a
remedy. Responsibility rests
somewhere; let it rest where it
deserves; it ought not to be
shirked; it cannot all be trans
ferred. it may be divided; it
should be divided justly.
Parents have a good deal to do
with the preparation of the chill
dren in mind and body for good
conduct and good work in school.
If children are allowed to spend
all their time out of school in dis
sipatjon of various kinds, if they
are allowed to be saucy and i'm
polite to their parents and other
superiors at and about home and
a nuisance on the streets and in
other public places, they cannot
be expected to be near 900" IN
their department in school; and
it is too bad that the teachers
force and their own precious
time should be wasted in re-
preston when the teacher might
otherwise give her whole soul to
instruction. What a waste of
energy when pupil spends so
much time in mischief and the
teacher SO much time in excepting
order 1t is seldom that a child
wisely directed at home makes
the teacher trouble. Again,
children of whatever age who
have not been taught to do any
work thoroughly at home will not
be likely to submit cheerfully to
hard and successful work at
school. They first have to learn
the art of application, which in
some is of slow growth, and in
some almost impossible after
years of loose habits; hence the
difficult task of getting work well
done in school. If teachers are
honest, undisciplined pupils re-
ceive low marks in their studies.
It can't be otherwise.

A new party of surveyors are to run
the lines between Montana and Cana
ia this summer The party starts
from Coutts and will spend some
months in determining the line of the
international boundary along nearly
the entire northern boundary of the
state. OF peculiar Importance is this
survey of the line, as it will have a
great bearing upon the plans for d.
verting the waters of st. Mary's river
to Milk river, upon which the geolog.
ical survey is again at work. Railroad
surveyors say that in many places the
monuments are forty miles south of
the places where they ought to be, and
if correctly established much valuable
land will be added to Montana. The
worst feature is. however. that the
Mormon settlements near the present
line may be covered back into the
United States.

RIFLE VS.. REVOLVER,

This paper has spoken of the sense
less practice of carrying concealed
weapons, and the lack of wisdom in
volved in the keeping of revolvers in
homes and apartments. But these OBJ
jections do not apply to the rifle.
Every American ought to be profici-
ent in the use of this arm.
For the rifle is the conservator of
liberty. This nation owes it's indie
pendence to the craftsmanship of the
revolutionary sires. When the war
drums sounded, the Americans had
only to reach for the long barrel above
the fireplace and rally to the meeting
places on the countryside There a
few days drilling gave the patriot fore
es an army which, with all it's raw
ness, made a determined and effective
stand against the trained levies of
England. If the pioneers had not
been proficient with the rifle, England
would have stamped out the rebel
lion in six-month. This fact was
we'll understood by the statesmen of
the day, and led them to declare in the
great constitution that the right of
the people to own and bear arms
should not be abridged.
Riflemen behind the cotton bales at
New Orleans enabled Jackson to win
his astounding victory over the nu-
merically superior forces of the Brit
ish. 1t was the familiarity of the b.
ers with the rife that enabled them
to stand up so long against the great
armies under Butler, Roberts and Kit
chener.
History has made it plain that the
war-like strength of nation lies not
so much in the efficiency and numbers
of it's standing army as in the skilled
use of arms by the people. 1t was
the archery butts that gave England
her military glory; the yeoman's
strong arm and keen eye in the use
of the long bow that made it possible
for King Edward and the Black
Prince to lower the lily standard of
France at Crecy and Poitiers.
Familiarity with the use Of contem-
porary arms is a double safeguard.
It protects the country from invasion
and is defense against attempts by
standing armies to rob the people of
their liberties. For it is too true that
nation which puts its sole depend
ence upon paid soldiery has entered
thoroughfare which must either
lead to it's subordination to a foreign
power or the UNFOLDING of domestic
military despOtism. Spokesman
Review.
