ELECTRICAL
oue of the Great Dangers which
Threaten Men.

The greatest dangers which threaten
man are generally invisible to the vic
tim, and among these none Is more
productive Of disastrous consequences
than electrical leakage" the selfsame
leakage used by the natives Of all hot
climates to lower their temperatures.
AS no organic function can take place
except by means OF electrical currents,
30 It can be easily understood that II
these currents leak from our bodies
the loss Of power must be distinctly
harmful. A common instance Of this
loss OF electricity from u bodies con,
sists OF what we call a nervous shock,
the scientific explanation being that a
sudden egress OF electricity takes place
owing to the violent mental impress
slons in%yoluntarily forcing n current OF
power through channels which had not
been previously open TO receive them.
This" remarked a scientist, sis but
one case among a thousand OF the ways
In which we useIessly expend our vital
power. The electrical waste Of a per-
son Is entirely due to his surroundings
the seat upon which you sit, the Ia
bic upon which you write, the floor, the
ceiling. the fireplace, the rays and col
ors Of light which surround you, all
may be instrumental In absorbing your
electricity. 10 the great detriment OF
your health. Red or yellow light waves
excite electricity within you. blue and
violet waves exhaust II, while green
waves are practically neutral in their
effect.
THE mir you breathe places you In
direct communication with the walls,
windows or hearth of your room: II,
owing to the manner In which they are
constructed, they place you in electrical
communication with the soil on which
your house is built, an earth return is
formed, and the electricity in mans
condenscr-the brain-is drawn out Of
the body. When one stands In the
vicinity Of n place of electrical exhaus.
ton n ought TO face 1t, as the base
OF the skull and spine, being the center
OF the nervous system, are more SEN
sitiye to outside influences than ia the
more covered front Of the body. Tbs
Is why one feels so tired when sitting
with ones back to a fire; the flames
serve as conductors and extract the
force from the exposed nervous CEN
ters."--Pearson's Magazine.

Cattle Inspected.

SdthiS t"SFSSsSs'
In addition to the cattle inspected
horses were inspected as follows:
1899, IS, 1000; 1900, 10000; 1901, SO ,9S7;
1902, $500. There were Al stray
horses recovered in 1900; 81 in 1901,
and 40 in 1902.
From the above table. 1t will be
observed that the total value of the
output of beef aggregates more than
ten millions of dollars tor 1902, while
that of horses is of the value Of close
to one million, indicating the impor-
lance of this industry to the state.
The Montana Stock Growers asso-
citation continues to render support
to the board in All its work, both NOR
ally and financially, and the assis-
lance of that organization has done
much toward the successful accom-
plishment of the aims and purposes
of this board.
Laws Need Amendment.
Some legislation is needd in behalf
of the stock interests. suggestions for
which will doubtless be presented to
the next legislative assembly. There
have been more complaints Of fraud
in connection with the payment of the
wolf bounties, owing to the supsicion
that pelts are brought into the state
from adjoining states and territories
because of the larger bounties paid in
Montana. Official information on file
in this office show that while we pay
a bounty of IS on coyotes, In Canada
there is no bounty whatsoever On
coyotes. likewise in North Dakota,
while in Wyoming and in South Da-
kota 1t is only 81, and all suspicion
Of fraud attaches to the coyote bounty
which constitutes probably rs per
cent of all the bounty paid in this
state. The law requires some amend
ment to provide further safeguard
against fraud. There should also be
some law passed to prevent logging
of cattle, of which there is consider
able complaint, such injury being
done TO cattle in this pernacious
practice. Some legislation is like
wise needed with regard to the TAX.
Ing up, using OF disposing Of stray
horses, and an effort will be made to
frame a bill covering the requirements
OF the case.
The financial report shows that
there was paid into the stock inspec-
tor and defective fund during the
year 500 .S26.74. The expenditures
were $3.50, and the remainder, adj.

men also received returns for quite
a number Of strays marketed over in
canada, which were recovered under
an inspection system In operation
over there similar to the one in opera
ton here.
Horse Trade sLively.
The output of horses, while not
equal to that of 1901, still amounts to
a large number, there having been a
total OF $500 uead of horses shipped
out Of Montana during the year. Ow-
ing to the rigid inspection at the load
ing points, few strays are allowed to
be shipped and the market inspectors
recovered only four head during the
year, proceeds of which went to the
owners. The local inspectors, like
wise recovered and restored to the
owners As head of stray horses. The
horse market has kept up well for the
better class of stock and there has
been considerable speculation on
horses amongst the dealers. The in
spection law needs amending some
what and we shall endeavor to have
1t done at the coming session Of the
Legislature.
Imports Were Heavy.
The price of stock cattle and young
steers has been maintained through
out the year until the past few weeks,
when there has been a slight slump
and cattle of this class a now be
had at a somewhat more reasonable
figure. This is only in keeping with
thegeneral drop in the beef market
all over the country. The number Of
cattle brought into the state in 1902
has been largely in excess Of any
previous year since the eighties, the
total number aggregating 10000
head. most of which were Texas or
other southern stock, and a number
of large Texas outfits have brought
in herds with the expectation of re-
tanning a permanent range in this
state. There were 1,450 head Of fine
breeding stock imported during the
year and the general tendency of
stockmen in Montana is toward breed
ing up the herds.
We append hereto a summary of
the inspection work since the organ
ization of the board of 1885:

TRY FOR 1902
Annual Report of the Board OF STOCK
Commissioners Submitted to the
Governor.
GOOD FIGURES ARE RECEIVED
Board Considers Some Changes IN
the Bounty Law Are Necessary to
Prevent Fraud.

The report of the state board Oh
stock commissioners has been nled
with Governor Toole for the year end
ing December 81, and it tells in detail
of the work done. The report Is
signed by John T. Murphy, presi'
dent, and w. G. Prueitt, secretary.
The report says that there has been
no change in the personnel Of the
board except in Silver Bow, where
George Tong, the member from that
county, died. After giving a list OF
the inspectors in the emmploy of the
board during the year, the report
says:
Almost every county In the state
had a local inspector during the past
wear and the board has made every
effort to so wisely expend the FUNDS
as to extend the benefits and protec-
ton of the law to the greatest posi-
BILE number throughout the state.
The excellent financial condition oil
the board has made the work more eff
fectual and far.reaching than ever
before. as for many years we were
hampered in this work because OF
lack of funds with which to carry 1t
on.
An examination Of the inspection
reports for the year will demonstrate
the efficiency of the inspection force
and be an indication of the benefits
accruing to the stock interests from
This work.

Figure il out.

Michigan Patron: ga banker saunt-
ering home for his dinner saw $40 bill
on the curbstone. Of course he picked
it up and took the number in order to
find the owner. While at home his
wife remarked that the butcher had
sent in a bill amounting to SO. The
only money he had with him was the
bill he had found, which he gave to her
and she paid the butcher. The butcher
paid it to farmer for a calf, and the
farmer paid it to a merchant, who i'll
turn paid to clerk, who in turn paid
to a washer women, and she owing the
banker a note of so went to the bank
er and paid the note. The banker re-
cognized the note as the one he had
found, and which, up to date, had paid
$50 of debt. On careful examination
he discovered the bill was counterfeit.
Now will some of our financial friends
tell us what has been lost by the trans
action, and by whom?".

Give the Dull Bow a Chance.

The Oil City Derrick, speaking a
word for the dull boy, says. 1t is not
always the brightest boy i'll school
that makes the greatest success in the
world. He is generally the favorite of
the teachers, and gets along the fastest,
but his very brilliancy often proves a
great drawback to his future career
Much is expected of him, and when
put to the test he is very likely to
prove a disappointment. ''Give the
dull boy a chance" is the advice of
Prof. A. E. Winship, one of the leading
educators of the Buckeye State.
'Watch him closely. Don't think be-
cause he is dull he is unworthy of your
time and consideration, for in your
dull boy may lurk the possibilities of
the brilliant and successful business
man." This is good advice, but above
all the dull boy should never be dis
couraged. Let him recognize the fact
that the teacher is interested in him
and let his parents encourage him all
they can. 1t is mistake to ridicule
him or make his backwardness promi-
nent. Give him fair show and let
him plod along. The highest goals
are conquered by simply sticking
straight to one thing with the end
always in view, and in this respect the
dull boy often proves wonder and
surprise to every one.

Peculiar Little Dwarf.

Dinnis Russell, a dwarf who was
brought here from Sharon and placed in
the County Home as a poor charge, is
apparently the happiest man in the
place. For hours at time he will sing
and amuse himself by talking to a
water spigot, chair or any piece of
furniture. The upper portion of his
body is OF normal size, but his legs are
only about twelve inches in length,
and his feet are small. He cannot walk,
and has to be tied in a chair to keep
him from falling off. Although Russell
is but thirty years of age, his hair is
gray and he bears the appearance of a
man of fifty.-Potter Enterprise.

The Beautiful Snow.

1t takes three cloudy days to bring a
heavy fall of snow.
If snowflakes increase in size thaw
will follow.
If there is no snow in January there
will be more snow in March and April.
The more snow, the more healty the
season.
A snow year, a rich year.
Snow is the poor mans fertilizer, and
good crops will follow winter of
heavy snowfall.
