No Rush For Land.

A special from Shoshone says:
There was not rush today for the
sixty thousand acres of land thrown
open by the Twin Falls Land and
Water company today as had been
anticipated. Instead of the thou
sands who were expected to be
present there we're just 81 names
dropped in the box for the privilege
of making selection and of these
only 30 made actual filings. The
first name drawn out of the box was
that of Harry 7. West as attorney
for Joseph M. Hollister of the N.
K. quarter of section seven township
ten, south range 18 east, foe tracs
of 160 acres just one mile due south
of Shoshone Falls. The drawing was
conducted in an eminently fair and
impartial manner, but the enterprise
needs advertising before people will
come so buy the lands.

FEATS OF CHICKEN FANCIERS
by Intelligent Breeding They Have
Produced Fowls of All Sizes
and COlOra.

The American Standard of Perfec-
ton as drafted and copyrighted by the
American Poultry association, con-
tains the names of 116 varieties Of
fowls, 115 of which are due to the de-
velopment of man. God made only
one-a homely, wild thing, which
made it's home in the Jungle along
with the rest of primeyal creation,
says a writer on the Great American
Barnyard, in Leslie's Monthly. by in
telligent breeding fanciers have pro-
duced fowls, of all sizes, from the
diminutive bantam to the mammoth
bronze turkey; one tiny bit of feath-
cred vanity, weighing only a few
ounces, and the other a bulky fowl
weighing from 40 to GO pounds-as
much as half-grown boy. Results
equally wonderful have been accom-
plished in color effects. There are
varieties in red, black brown and
white, with nearly all possible COM
binations, beside buff and Andalusian
blue. The fanciers have shown that
they can lace, stripe, spangle or bar
the feathers of their birds in any way
to satisfy their individual fancy. In
fact, about all they have left undone
is to put their initials on the feathers
of their birds.

"Along the Caribbean sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, sit is common thing to
see men and women and children sit
ting on the banks of streams with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
They have a strange reason for this
strange conduct. They are much
troubled by little insect-a kind of
tick-which buries itself in their flesh,
and is very hard to dislodge; and so,
when the ticks have got in them they
go to the water, bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have a fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see, and,
pulling the ticks out, devour them. In
that manner in the Caribs fish are
called upon to act as surgeons. Eff

GERMANY'S AIR BATHS.
A New Fad That Is leing Followed
by the FHshiouabIcs of
Berlin.

Air baths" are all the rage in
fashionable Berlin just now. We
all know what necessary factors
light and air are for the mainte-
nance Of health. The Berlin air
baths have the great advantage Of
being pleasant as well as healthy,
and many of the society ladies Of
the German capital have taken them
up. The scenes now reproduced were
photographed at the Berlin insti-
tute, which started this open air
idea, and which has already become
famous both in Europe and Amer
lea, says Golden Penny.
Even the tinicst children are taken
TO these baths" as well as young
girls and more elderly ladies.
The main object, Of course, is to
exercise both the muscles an the
lungs at the same time, and the
nondescript kind Of bathing dress
which is worn allows the ladies n
delightful sense of freedom whilo
practicing their gymnastic feats or
playing at gardening in the grounds.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
the garden is kept as secluded as
possible. Surrounded by high walls,
it is situated in quiet locality just
outside the city.

LESS EAGER TO WED.
Girls Prefer Work and Independ-
ence to Matrimony.
Philadelphia Pastor Discovers De-
crease In the Number Of Mar
rIageA and Tells the
Reason Therefor.

| According to Rev. Russell H. Con-
we'll, d. D., pastor of the Baptist tenn
pie of Philadelphia, the fact that the
number of marriage licenses issued
during the last year in that city were
fewer thanin the previous year by 1000
or more is due to the rapidly increas-
ing number of young woman who
have acquired business college edu-
cation and are, therefore, fully
equipped to enter the lists of the COM
mercial world and earn a comforta-
BILE livelihood.
No longer compelled to endure a
life of enforced idleness, often with
an eligible young man to turn up
with proposal of marriage, the aver
age young woman of the industrial
classes, DR.. Conway AYERS, now has
substantial position to occupy her
time and to enable her to be indie
pendent.
Leaders of society in this city agree
with Dr.. Conwell that the decrease in
the number of marriages has been
confined to the industrial classes.
Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson said to-
day that there had been no apparent
change in the fashionable spring and
autumn marriages, but on the other
hand there had perhaps been more
engagements announced during the
last year than for several years.
The books of the marriage license
bureau show that, despite the fact
that last month broke all records for
November in the history of the bu-
reau, and June, 1.-The month of Brides"
went far beyond the average this
year, Dan Cupid has been caught nap
ping.
Although one day toward the end
of May more than 1870 licenses were
issued, this being the greatest single
days record since the bureau was es-
tablished in 1885, there was a steady
falling off of requests for licenses COM
pared day by day with the previous
years.
''Tne secret of the decrease in mar
riage licenses" DR.. Conwell said, "may
be attributed, In my opinion, to the
significant fact that throughout the
city the business colleges are turn
ing out thousands of young women
trained for the playing of an active
part in the commercial world.
"The young woman of to-day, who
formerly had little or no income, is
no longer dependent upon the love
of some young man she may be fortu-
nate enough to win. There was time
when a girl of the working classes was
threatened with poverty and was con-
fronted with grave perils until she
married. and often she would give
herself to the first eligible man who
CHANGED to come her way.
Now she is well equipped with
practical business education and is in
dependent She is able to support her.
self, and there is nothing to force her
into matrimony."
