John B. Shea has been appointed
stock inspector for the territory form
erly under the supervision of Harry
Lund. It is believed that his head
quarters will be at Shelby Junction,
as that is the center of a territory
which of late has been receiving more
than the usual amount of attention
from 'rustlers," and beside forms a
convenient base from which to work
along either the Great Northern or
the Lethbridge road.
: The defeated bOwlers returned Sun
day morning and while regretting that
they were no more fortunate, are con
soling themselves with the thought
that a return game is to be played
with their victors. While they have
no complaint to make, they think the
Forsythians rang in a blazer on them
when, near the middle of the fifth
game, they compelled them to change
alleys. At the time the change was
made the Billings men were doing all
sorts of dangerous things with the
balls and believe that if they had
been permitted to finish on the alley
they were playing on the result would
have been different.

to be as frisky and saucy as in mid

other insects are to be met with in a
stroll through the country, while the

sunny places. A few of the migratory
birds are reported as having been
seer in different localities, but for this
the word of those who claim to have
observed them must be taken.

Foley Bros, whose camp is at Bull

with the county authorities in their
efforts to check the spread of small

their employees to submit to vaccina-
ton by the physician to the county
board Of health. but have also agreed
to report all refusing to be vaccinated,
so that they may be taken to the de-
tention hospital. This latter agree
ment has been reached since the fore
part of the week, when a case Of
smallpox vas discovered in their
camp and the victim sent to the iso-
lation hospital.
With the help of the police Agent
Kennedy of the Northern Pacific was
enabled to make a shipment of about
half a hundred men to Bull Mountain,
yesterday. where work was waiting for
them at Foley Bros camp. While not
all those sent out were compelled to
leave. a good many of them received
orders from the police to "move on
and were given their choice of going
to work at 50 a day, or leave the city
as best they could. 1t is needless to
say that those whose acceptance of
the offer of employment was made
compulsory had been loafing about the
city the length of time usually given
to men without visible NEAR of sup

Mrs. Minnie Eshleman Sherman. Of
California, former society girl of
Philadelphia owns and manages
farm of $500 acres, with its varied
interests Of dairying, stock farming
and fruit growing. In her palm-bor-
dered orchards and vineyards she
grows raisin grapes, pears, peaches

almonds and olives. For her immense
herds Mrs. Sherman grows all of her
own feed the cows in summer being
pastured on alfalfa. and, as the sea
son advances, on ensilage made from
the first crop OF alfalfa; then on corn
from the silo, and later on green rye.
In addition to the dairy, which sup
plies it's immense creamery Mrs. Sher-
man has large number of thorough
bred horses and a big herd OF fine
Berkshire swine. Among the lessons
which Mrs. sherman learned by sad
experience was the fact that the beau
tiful Jersey cows which have found
nourishment on sweet hill pastures in
cool, moist sea air will not thrive on
fields of alfalfa in warm. dry valley.
These have been replaced by the
sturdier Holstein- -Friesian stock, of
which she is said to have now one of
the finest herds in the country. Her

Several senators were discussing in
the cloakroom their experiences in get

talk recalled an episode in the life of
the late Justice Field of the Supreme
Court, whose temper was Of the most

Presently there came ring at the door

The conversation grew more EN-

LONG LOST SECRETS.
Anoients Possessed knowledge Modern
Science Cannot Supply.

ENithNo Sahhot supply
Although marvellous strides have
been made in almost every branch of
knowledge In the last 100 years secrets
known to scientists, mechanics and
others long before the beginning of
that period have been lost For in
stance. thousands of years ago tho
Egyptians used to embalm the bodies
of their dead Kings and nobility so
perfectly that the bodies are in Won
derful preservation to-day. The valu-
able secret is lost, and modern science
cannot recover the lost knowledge
We can, of course, and we do embalm
bodies, but only for temporary preser-
walton, and, comparatively speaking,
in most unsatisfactory manner.
Bodies which are embalmed nowadays
will not be preserved for more than a
few years at most; very many of the
bodies the Egyptians ebalmed before
the birth OF Christ are still so well
preserved that the lines of their faces
are as clearly marked to-day as when
they were first embalmed.
People do not know how to put stones
and bricks together as the ancients
did, and consequently the buildings
raised nowadays are mere temporary
structures and will be in ruins when
the ancient buildings of Greece and
Italy, which were built thousands of
years ago, are in as good condition as
they are now. The secret is not in the
bricks or the stone, but in the cement
and mortar, neither of which essentials
can the moderns make as the ancients
made them.
In modern buildings the cement and
mortar are the weakest points; in
buildings which the Romans and
Greeks raised thousands of years ago
the cement and mortar are the strong
est points and hold good while the
very stones they bind crumble away
with age. We cannot, with all our
science. make such cement and mortar.
Modern chemists cannot compound
such dies as were commonly used when
the great nations of to-day were still
unborn. Now and again it happens
that searchers after antiquities come
across fragments of fabrics which were
dyed thousands of years ago, and they
are astonished by the wonderful rich
ness of the colors of the cloths, which,
despite their age, are brighter and
purer than anything produced nova
days.
! Modern artists buy their colors
| ready made and spend large sums OF
money on pigments with which to
color their canvases. The pictures OF
modern artists will be colorless when
many of the works of the ancient mas
ters are as bright as they are to-day
Just as the secret of dyeing has been
lost, so has the secret of preserving thu
colors of artists paints. Yet the Sc
oret was known to every ancient artist
| for they all mixed their own colors.

A popular Cleveland doctor tells
this story of bright boy. his own,
who had reached the mature age of
9, after an early career marked by
many wild and mischievous pranks.
His restless nature had made him
something of torment to his teacher
at times and one afternoon not long
ago she kept him after the others
were dismissed and had serious talk
with him. Perhaps she was a little
afraid that her admonitions were fall
ing on stony ground. Anyway, she
finally said:

father to come and see me-"
Don't you do it." said the boy.

THE WOES OF LlNEMEN.
No Picn'c Putting Up Telegraph Services
In South Afric9.

In South Afric9.
A telegraph line is being built across
South Africa and occasionally bits Of
information regarding the undertaking
find their way to civilization. These
reports show that the hardships suf-
fered by linemen and the difficulties
they are compelled to overcome are
something tremendous. The line has
now been carried up to the southern
shore of Lake Tanganyika. During the
last 200 miles the road was impossible
for vehicles and all the supplies and
material had to be transported by car
riers. One section of the line passes
through swamp in which vegetation
grows to such height during the wet
season as to top the wire and cause
troublesome leakage. The natives can
not be induced to go in during the sea-
son and cut down the weeds owing to
the swarms of crocodlles. OF another
section the elephants have caused sew
eraI Interruptions by breaking off the
poles. In some of the forests through
which the line passes trees are met
measuring over 100 feet in circumfer-
ence. Some of the ravines are i'm
passable even to the linemen during
the rainy season owing to the paths
being under water and the rank
growth of vegetation.

AS all all the world knows, Mr..
Chamberlain is one of the great or
chidgrowers of the kingdom. He takes
his hobby, as, indeed, he seems to take
his politics. seriously. Many orchid
growers have to go some way to find
their favorite blOssoms-not so Mr..
Chamberlain. His wife's drawing
room, one of the finest apartments in
the large, roomy house, opens into a
winter garden, from which the visitor
may make his way in a few moments
through the whole 80 greenhouses, for
orchids are not the only hothouse
flowers cultivated at Highbury. Each
conservatory opens off long corridor,
itself most charming winter garden.
Appropos of his love for orchids-a
taste shared by Mrs. Chamberlain =
the colonial secretary is fond of boast
ing that he has never given anything
like a record price for any of his
specimens. He is fond of exchanging
one rare plant against another, and
above all, he deals in hybridization,
much time being devoted by him and
his clever head gardener to this form
of hybrid culture.
