The scientists state that the grip
microbe is only sixteen one-thou-
sandths of an inch in length. But
that doesn't afford any comfort for
the person who has the disease in
view of the fact that the average man
is about five and one-half feet in
length, his body representing about
1900 cubic inches, and Is therefore
capable of holding about 800 grip
microbes.

Or. Hedin a Wide Traveller.

DIR. Anders Sven Hedh, the illus
trious traveller, who lately returned
from a wonderful Asiatic journey,
was born at Stockholm on Feb. 10,
1865. Stockholm, Upsala, Berlin and
Halle contributed to his education
and his first expedition was through
Persia and Mesopotamia in 1885.
In 1890 he was member of King
Oscars embassy to the late shah of
Persia, and in the same year began
a journey through Khorasan and Tur-
kestan. In 1898 he started on what
proved to be a four years expedition
through Asia from Orenburg to
Pekin, via Lop.nor and Thibet, and
his late journey through much Of the
same country and including severe
trials in the Cobb desert was begun
in 1899 and ended only last year.

Jay county, Indiana, is not such a
"jay" community as its name might
suggest. Last year the farmers Of
Jay county shipped out $40, sos. "a
worth of eggs, $96,273 worth of poultry
and 1863, 024.64 of dairy products. This
brought into that one county total
revenue of Sl99,s95.4S of outside
money, and it is the outside money
captured which builds up COM
munity. -IntermOuntain Farmer.

"Oh!" she shrieked, "the snake!"

She ran to one side of the road,
uttering little screams, while
snatched a stick and struck at the
snake. 1t darted up my trousers and
wriggled around my leg.
Horribly frightened lest the ven-

grabbed my trousers first in one
place and then in another, dancing
frantically up and down to rid my
self of that awful, squirming crea-

New Names for Indians

The Indian bureau has decided upon
a policy which means trouble for the
noble red man, says a Washington
special. 1t contemplatesa rechristen-
ing of all the Indians in the United
States, and the high flown appella-
tions of the warriors will be changed
to commonplace names. The wishes of
the Indians will not be consulted in
the matter.
The change is expected to make as
much trouble as did Commissioner
Jones famous hair cutting order, but
he says it will make the work of his
department much easier, as the names
of many of the Indians are absolutely

NAvltS OF the WORLD

Captain Sigsbee, chief of the naval
intelligence office, has prepared a
series of tabular statements to show
the comparative strength of the prin-

that the greatest objections will come
from the high chieftains, who glory in
their names, but that the rest of the
Indians will not object so long as the
government furnishes them rations

This list puts the United third in
point of numbers and total tonnage at
the present time. According to the
building programme of Germany, that
country in 1907 will have a fleet of
thirty-five battleships, fourteen large
cruisers and siXteensdivisions of tor

battleshipS, twenty-hve-,.will be first
class ships of over 10000 tons, launch

years to build battleship in the
United States, our force according to
ships authorized, will i'm 1907 consist Of
thirty-tive battleships, of which
twenty-fOur will be first class ships of
over 10000 tons, launched 1891. OF
the fourteen large cruisers Germany
will probably have eight armored
cruisers, launched since 1891, while
the United States will have ten.
