How Foxes GET mia of r,c...


By an old hunter and naturalist of 10.
cal repute story has been told here
confirming as absolutely true and trust
worthy the published account, which
has had few believers until now, of
how foxes rid themselves of feas. The
fox, according to the book narrative
simply backs slowly into a stream of
water with a portion of the pelt of a
rabbit In his mouth after the fox has
made meal off the rabbit. The water
drives the feas first up the fox's legs
and then toward his head and finally
out on the piece of rabbit fur, and then
the fox drops the fur, and his pests are
done for.
The local hunter and naturalist re-
ferred to, strange to say, had never
heard or read this story when he told
Of the actions of the fox which he OBJ
served In the waters of the Patapsco
river The little animal he stated,
backed into the river slowly with so
much deliberation that he wondered
what 1t meant. 1t carried something
he did not know what-in it's mouth
and dropped the something when out
In deep water. Then the fox hurried
away. The object left foated near to
the observer, and he hauled 1t ashore
with a stick. Fleas literally swarmed
through the object, which was found to
be bit of raw rabbit fur. The OBJ
server had puzzling mystery explain
ed to him. He says his admiration for
the shrewdness of the fox grows more
and more as he grows older and learns
his ways Baltimore Sun

A PARTING WORD.

This is the last issue of the Nei-
hart HERALD, and we wish to thank
our patrons for past fsvors. We
have struggled along since the panic
OF '93, hoping for better times and
during that period at times did not
much more than make our salt. We
have great confidence in the future
of Neihart and know that some day
its mines will be employing large
number of men. We are get
ting old fast and the best years of
our lives are swiftly passing by and
we find there is limit to our
patience. Neilart may be good
camp 2, 3 or 4 years from now but
for us it is too long to wait. This
printing plant will be moved to
Salmon City, Idaho, where we have
already started the Lemhi Herald.
we can do better financially there
than in Neihart and that is the rea-
son for our leaving. Anyone having
bills against the HERALD will pre-
sent them before February l. And
all who are indebted to the HERALD
will please settle their accounts at
once. We have been here nine
years aud although we have not
prospered we leave with the kindli-
est feelings for everybody.
We hope that Neihart some day
will make Butte, that its citizens
will prosper with the growth of the
town and with these best wishes the
HERALD bids adieu to the public.

PAY THE BILL.

1t would seem that the county
commissioners are not disposed to do
anything towards paying the bill
due to Neihart for Jail rent, and that
either the commissioners or some one
else in touch with them, informs the
newspapers of Great Falls about
the bill and makes light of it, The
Leader has for its heading on the
article the following in large letters:
"Neihart Jail bobs up again-County
Commissioners again confronted by
the bastile question-After discus
sion>it was disposed of in the usual
way by deferring action"
The truth of the matter is that the
bill is just one. About two years
ago the city had contract from the
county to pay jail rent, which it did
for that year and also for two months
after the contract had expired, when
they notified the town of Neihart
that they would not pay any more
rent. The county has no Jail at
Neihart and when county criminals
are arrested they are placed in the
city Jail. There is no other place
for such prisoners. Yet the news
papers of Great Falls are informed
that Neihart's bill is unjust and it is
treated as joke. Well it might
not prove in tho end such Joke as
they try to make it. The county
should pay this bill and in the future
either pay rent or build Jail for its
own prisoners. Surely Neihart is
not supposed to provide a Jail for
county prisoners and care for them
while in Jail. As prisoners in Jail
are of some expense, Jail cannot
be run for nothing. We don't see
why Neihart should get such treat
ment and are of the opinion that the
bill can: be collected as there is
prof that the commissioner paid

The outlook for daily train on
the Neihart branch is quite bright,
and it is thought by February the
change will be made. The business
on the entire branch has increased
rapidly and especially is this true
regarding the railroad business for
Neihart. On Wednesday 1t took
two engines to haul the train to Nei-
hart and then it could not bring all
the freight here but left some along
the, route. This branch needs a
daily service badly. At present the

Sernent Wnrshin

It was probably in the character of a
healer that the serpent was regarded
by the Milesians, since most of the To-
calities of Ireland connected with ira
ditions of these reptiles destroyed by
st. Patrick were esteemed places Of
healing. To these spots, generally holy
wells, the people of the poor and igno-
rant classes still resort as pious pill
grims taking relief from their infirmi-
ties. They drink of the sacred waters
and circle about the fount on their
knees while repeating their prayers,
and 1t is curious fact, as we are in
formed by an old time traveller in Ire
land, that this circling was formerly
done "groveling on hands and knees or
even lying fat on the ground and wrig-
Cling like snake" This must un-
doubtedly have been a relic of the an
cient rites, though the people had not
the slightest idea of its origin or even
that such a religion had ever existed
on their island.
In the same way they still on Bel
tame eve Bel-tinne, or Bells fire. kindle
"bale fires" on the summit of every
hill and send flaming wheels rolling
down their sides, though ignorant that
they are celebrating day consecrated
to Bel, or Baal, by their Phenician and
Irish ancestors, who observed it in q
precisely similar manner.-New Lippin-

In one of the mines In the Pittsburg

himself possessed of an almost human

when the full shift was at work there
occurred an unusual thing. The air
currents had seemed defective, and
there was restless feeling among the
miners, something like the uneasiness
Of live stock before a storm. A few
days previous chamber had been
closed on account of gas, and the men
were instinctively thinking of what
that might mean. Suddenly there was
q clatter of hoofs, and a mule appear
ed. Its long ears were quivering, and
It's intelligent eyes were full of terror.
1t gave shrill bray and then was
gone down the entry, broken traces fly
ing after 1t. The men looked at one
another and then the feverishness of
the air moved them w III one impulse.
Dropping picks, they precipitately,
making headlong dash through the
labyrinth for the open air. With scared
faces other miners Joined them, and

all meant dull, deep explosion went
rumbling through the hollow back of
them, followed by wave upon wave Of
noxious vapors. Then they understood
