Natures Alchemy.

When life has grown threadbare and
Seamy.
And the soul is at war with itself.
When the nerves are unStrung and dis
cordant.
And courage is laid on the shelf.
Then wise Mother Nature allures Us
Away to her fastness to rest
And We lay with a sigh of conteptment
Our mead on her kindly brown breast
Her breath fans our brow and its odor
With balsam is pungent and sweet.
And down through the cool scented ST.
lence.
The pine needles drift DER our feet
And far in the dim distant spaces.
In the soft tender blue of the skies.
We catch through the iow-hansing
branches
The calm brooding light of her eyes
And our word-weary spirit grows tran
quill.
And the cares which perplex US depart,
AS rest on the bosom of Nature.
And feel the strong beat of her heart.
And her alchemic force permeatcs u5.
And thrills through our being and brain,
Till life CLOVIS with color and beauty.
And courage grows buoyant again.
Oh. the dim. dusky asles of the forest
Its denZens wary and fleet.
The music of soft tapping waters.
The solitude tranquil and sweet.
The oul-Searching. sacred communion,
And the tryst with invisible things.
The calm benediction of Nature.
And the infinite healing ii brings
Good Housekeeping.

New York's New Governor.

Albany Jan. 1.-Benjamin A. Odell
was today inaugurated governor Of
New York. There was a greater out
pouring of people and grander dis
play than has attended a ceremony
of this character for many years.
Over $50 national guardsmen were in
line of the escort column and in ad-
dition, civilians who have been life
long friends and neighbors of the
new governor, and who had come to
this city to attest their friendship.
The oath of office was then admin
istered by Secretary of State John
7. McDonough. This concluded the
ceremony and the band played, and
the audience cheered Governor
Odell held the usual reception.

No Birds in British Columbia,

What most strikes visitor to the
immense forests or British Columbia
is the solemn silence and absence of
bird life. Even in the joyous spring
time, when there is bud and blossom
everywhere 'the song of Bird as we
know it in England is conspicuous
by it's absence. The Natural His
tory society of the province with the
cooperation of Sir Henri Jolly the
lieutenant governor, is now taking
steps to import large quantities of
song birds from England and east
ern Canada. 1t is believed that they
will be rapidly acclimatised and will
thrive in British Columbia. They may
also assist in keeping down some of
the insect pests of the gardens and
orchards. = London Chronicle.

SMALLPOX CURED
In Three Days BY the Uuse of Cream
of Tartar.

A correspondent writes to the Kan
sas City Star as follows: Kindly pub
lish this prescription for the benefit
of the general public: The worst case
of smallpox can be cured in three
days, simply by the use of cream of
tartar. One ounce of cream of tar
tar dissolved in pint of hot water
and drank at intervals, when cold,
is a certain, never failing remedy. 1t
has cured thousands. Never leaves a
mark, never causes blindness and
avoids tedious lingering. 1t will
check and stamp out the disease
quicker than anything else and saves
the great expense that sickness
brings.
In conclusion, let me say, use a
glass or stone or china vessel; never
use tin or iron to keep it in or make
it in, as both destroy the tartaric fla

A WONDERFUL BRIDGE.
It is the Greatest of Its Kind to Be
Found Anywhere.

The greatest steel structure in
the world, so far as railroad work
is concerned, is just about complet-
ed in this state. It is the wonderful
bridge of the Erie railroad across
the Kinzua valley in McKeon county.
The original bridge was a marvel and
was considered one OF the wonders
of the new world. The old abut-
ments are used to support the new
structure.
The original structure was found
to be too weak for the modern heavy
engines and cars of the Erie railroad,
and last May traffic on this branch
was suspended. 1t extends from
Carrollton, on the main line to John
sonburg, distance of 53.2 miles, and
passes through Bradford, Custer City
and Mt. Jewett and connects with the
narrow guage division of the P. and
w. R. R. It traverses wilderness

cats are found, and the rufiled grouse

Boer Invaders Of Cape Colony
Aggressive.
VOLUNTEERS CALLED
Large Reinforcements Required Situation
More Dangerous for John Bull
Than Year Ago.

London, Jan. 2.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail,
dwelling upon the gravity of the posi-
tion in Cape Colony, says:
The Boer invaders now number
5000. The western invasion gives
the most concern. 1t has split into
two divisions, which are marching
like the prongs of fork, one by way
of Sutherland toward Malmesbury
and the other toward Beaufort West.
The enemy is now ranging over i'm
ing the employment of an army corps
to deal with them. Lord Kitchener
has poure,. troops into the disturbed
areas, but the fugitive tactics of the
Beers have to a large extent neutral
ICED his precautions. 1t was felt
that the only means Of excluding the
invaders from the rich districts in
the western part of the colony was
to call out the farmers. Today's tele-
grams promise splendid response
from the eastern portion, but the
western is doubtful, not 80 per cent
of the population being regarded as
loyal, hence the Boer concentration
in that direction.
Letters are arriving here detailing
damage and robbery by the invaders
and beseeching military assistance.
Any action on the part of the colony
will not abate the urgent need of large
reinforcements."
The aspect of affairs is scarcely
less gloomy" says the Cape Town
correspondent of the Times, than at
the beginning of 1900. The invading
Beers are numerically fewer, but they
have penetrated further south and
their presence in such centers OF hos
tile Dutch feeling as Graaf Reinet
constitutes an element of danger
which did not exist last January. The
proclamation calling for volunteers
comes very late. The invaders have
been enabled to obtain fresh horses.
All the horses in the colony ought to
have been commandered or bought at
| the first sign of invasion"
| The correspondent complains Of
the inertia and reticence of the au-
thorities.

water. The island consisted of two
distinct parts. One Of them was
hill of gentle slope and wide base.
whose height was 153 1-2 feet. On
one side the hill ended abruptly in
a cliff, whose base was washed by
the sea at high water. The other
part of the island was a fiat extend
ing away from the base of the hill
in northerly direction and only ten
to twelve feet abovea the high tide
level, The whole bit of land was
just bare. brown 4eap of ashes,
around which the great rollers broke
and swept up the black shores in
sheets of foam. The island was en-
tirely destitute of any vegetation
save for half dozen Seeding plants
that had found lodgment there.
1t will not be strange if the island
is torn to pieces and again disappears
from view within a few years. It's
temperance is doubtless due to an
other volcanic eruption Volcanic
islands seldom endure many years
unless they or so large or so we'll pro-
tected against the sea that there is
time for them to become covered
with dense masses of vegetation be-
fore ocean storms have an opportun-
ity to tear them to pieces-New York

Insanity Not Increasing In
Montana.
INTERESTING FACTS
Large Percentage of Violent Gases Many
Different Forms of
Insanity.

Helena, Dec. 31.-Two more in
mates are cared for at the Warm
Springs insane asylum than year
ago. This condition indicates that
insanity is not on the increase in
Montana. The commissioners for
the insane filed their annual report
with Governor Smith this morning.
The total population of the institu-
ton for insane at Warm Springs is
479.
Insanity is less prevalent among
women than men. Over three-fourths
of the states wards at Warm Springs
are men. During the year a large per-
centage of cures have been record
ed Fifty have been discharged en-
tirely recovered and 19 have been
dismissed as partially cured. Twelve
patients escaped during the current
period. The mortality was very
large. Sixty-four deaths were re-
ported.
The percentage of violent cases has
been very large. Twenty different
forms of insanity are represented by
60 cases, idiocy and chronic confu-
sional insanity are credited with 81
and ~ cases respectively. There are
81 cases of melancholia, many OF
which are considered durable. Thir-
ty-four patients are epileptics a stub
born form of insanity that in many
states is treated in a special institu-
ton.
OF the total but 80 native Montan-
ans are in the state hospital for the
insane. The United States is repre-
sented by but 1S5 patients the rest
coming from foreign countries. Ire
land leads with GA patients. Nearly
every class of occupation is repre-
sented in the asylum. The artisan and
the professional man both have
place in the institution but of neces-
sity the ignorant classes are repre-.
sented by the largest number. There
are 1913 laborers, % farmers, 4S min
ers. 5 machinists, 12 rancners, IL
sheepherders, 5 stonemasons, : suelr.
ermen, s woodchoppers, IA without
occupation, and % whose occupation
is unknown. Nine have been in the
asylum for 22 years and 81 have been
under treatment for over ten years.
Two nonresident inmates were
transferred to other states and one
baby born at the asylum was trans.
ferred to the orphans home. Eleven
inmates paid portion of their board
at the asylum, the total amount TO-
ceiyed from those sources being S..
436.SS. The total cost of running
the institution for the IL months COW
cred in the report was $115, ,142.45.

CHINESE BANKING SYSTEM.
Conditions Make Safe deposits a Mat
ter Of Necessity.


ter Of Necessity.
The insecurity of Chinese houses
and the danger from fire make banks

in China have bank accounts. The

paper, to negotiate bills Of exchange,
to loan money on land or on personal
property and to buy and sell the prec-
ious metals. There is no govern
ment limit to their establishment
They sell bills of exchange at short
dates to any point in China. The
Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation and other foreign banks
have largely interfered with the sale
of foreign bills running for a long
time. The banks ordinarily, except
in Pekin, pay interest on deposits.
sometimes on daily balances. They
agree also to give all parties every
facility for borrowing. e'he custom is
that depositor can obtain on his
paper as a loan, twice the amount of
his deposit, but only for a few days
accommodation Deposits may be
withdraw at will, and the interest,
except in Pekin, is allowed to the
date of withdrawal. The foreign
banks also pay interest on deposits
but they stipulate for fixed terms.
The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank
ing Corporation pays 5 per cent on
fixed deposits. The bank, for con.
sideration, guarantees the paper of
it's customers. 1t sometimes hap
pens here, as elsewhere, that the de-
posits are ten or fifteen times great
er than the capital Of the bank.
There exists in Pekin a clearing
house system which will compare
favorably with that of New York.
Each depositor receives from his
bank a book with two columns in one
of which will be entered his deposits,
and in the other his debit, all the
sums he may disburse. He then
sends all his creditors to his banker
to be paid, and in the evening he
sends his book to his bankers. The
next morning the clerks of the vari-
Gus banks get together and indicate
in their books the various sums that
they are to disburse or to receive
for their patrons. The balances are
paid in cash, or are left to stand
over on interest until the end OF the
year. 1t is said that the banks as.
sist each other in case of difficulty
and that they extend the time of pay
ment to any solvent bank requiring

Contests Dismissed.

Anaconda, Dec. 31.-In tue matter
of the contested election cases in this
county the cases against the township
and county officials were dismissed
today by Judge H. C. Smith because
of the refusal of the attorney for
the contestants to proceed to trial
while testimony was being taken in
the legislative case. Judge Smith
overruled all demurers and denied
all petitions, and gave the attorneys
on either side no time to prepare for
an actual hearing of the cases.
The justices of the peace WHO were
to take the testimony in the legisla-
tive cases were threatened with all
sorts of writs and as they had estab-
lished the ground work for a contest
in the legislature they too certified
their proceedings up to the clerk of
the district court and adjourned. The
Deer Lodge county election troubles
were thus turned over to the commit
tee on privileges and elections of the
legislative assembly.
The attorneys for the coniestees
claim that they have won a great vic
tory, and the attorneys for the con.
testants claim that they cleverly
avoided exposing heir witnesses until
the time comes that they can accom-
plish the most good.

Espionage in Turkey.

An example to the extent to which
espionage is carried in this country
was furnished by an incident which
happened to the grand vizier the 9TH
er day. Even the highest personages
in Turkey are not exempt from sus-
picion. Their movements are watch
ed, and reported to the palace by an
army of spies, who swarm in every
quarter. The grand vizier last week
was driven through the main street
OF Pera when a carriage came out
from across the street and nearly col
ilded with him. Both carriages drew
up to avoid collision, and during the
stoppage the grand vizier recognized
the occupant of the other carriage as
Rechad Effendi, the sultan's brother,
who most likely will succeed to the
throne. The grand vizier very nat
urally saluted him and his salute was
returned and both went their way.
Shortly after the yizier was sum-
moned to the palace, where it had
been reported that he had had
a meeting with the heir to the throne.
1t took the whole of one day to salts
fly the sultan that the meeting had
been accidental and not premeditat-
ed, and that no plot was being hatch
ed against his majesty. .-Constanti-
