Boston, January S.-Curiously
enough Boston's latest step in the
march of modern progress, the open
ing of the east Boston tunnel as one
more extension of the city's remark
able transportation system, is the
means of preserving one of the last OF
the Puritan capitals famous historical
land mari :, the old state house at the
head of S Nte street where it touches
Washington street. The lower story
of this quaint old structure has now
become a great underground passenger
station for the tube under the harbor
by which the rapid transit lines of
the island suburbs of east Boston and
Winthrop have just been connected
with the elevated, subway and surface
car systems of the mainland.

important historical associations than
this. AS s told on the two bronze

ACCORDING to the new law the
school census hereafter will in
elude only such children in any
district as have attended school
sixty days during the year. The
public money will be apportioned
according to the census and the
effect Of the new law will be to
lessen the public money of dis
tricts where the attendance is
poor and increase it if the average
attendance is large. This section
of the state will lose public
money under the new law unless
great effort is made to keep chill

Creatures, That Seem Never to Die
From Old Age.
Wandering unconcernedly in the field
Of view of any high power microscope
there may be eel ,.nimal which
has probably beln llvlng continuously
ever $; life first appeared on the
earth and which has certainly never
lost an ancestor by death. The creature
Is transparent and resembles a drop of
slightly more viscid fluid In the thin:
film Of water in which 1t Is confined.
Amoeba is the name by which it Is
known to science. Splash a drop Of
ink on paper, and you will have an
idea Of its form at any one moment,
but it's form is never the same. Even
as you watch it It's shape, which had a
resemblance to Ireland al it appears
on the map, changes. The headlands.
at the southwest corner are becoming
more and more prominent till now they
are like the fingers Of an outstretched
hand of which the palm Is rapidly
shrinking. The whole creature Is flow.
ing rather than creeping toward a
small chain Of bacteria, which present
~ it devours. There is no mouth
through which they pass. They are
simply engulfed as small drops of wa
ter may be merged into a larger. In
an hour or two they will have been
digested-burned of as fuel to supply
the activities of their destroyer.
Occasionally amid It's ceaseless
changes Of form amoeba may be seen
to be developing a waist" which
grows smaller and narrower until 1t
snaps, and instead Of one large animal
we have two small ones. which, with.
out even a momentary pause, continue
the search or,food till, In a few hours,
each Is full sized and ready to divide
again.
But what has become Of the original
amoeba? In the absence Of anything
which could be called his corpse we
cannot declare him dead. It must be
said that he is still living as the two
new amoebae. Now. this splitting into
two being the only mode Of reproduc-
ton Of the race, 1t follows that all the
previous parent amoebae from which
our present two are descended are still
living. OF curse thousands Of the
animalculae are destroyed every day
by natural foes. but it must be re-
membered that these u~nfortunates
cannot by the nature Of things. leave
any children and SO will never be an
cestors, and that 50 long as any one
amoeba is living none Of his direct an.
cestry Is dead.

lures. They are not lie us-machines.

A Proper Distinction.


Here is a story Of John Fiske which
illustrates his frankness:
It seems that one day his wife had
to report to him that their son had
been guilty Of calling Mrs. Jones, a
neighbor, a fool and Mr.. Jones a much
worse fool.
Professor Fiske sent for the young
-ster and when he appeared in the IL
brary said to him sternly, my son, is
it true that you said Mrs. Jones was q
fool?"
Hanging his head, the boy replied.
Eyes, father, l did,"
And did you call Mr.. Jones a worse
fool?"
"Yes, father"
After a moments reflection the ia
nous historian said slowly, well, my
son, that is just about the distinction
I should make."-Boston Record.

IDAHO AND NEE
PIERCE COUNTIES
To my Friends and Patrons:

Since deciding to leave Cottonwood, 1 have found it
desirable to put my entire stock Of goods on the market at
such prices as will make it profitable for you to buy what
you want, and buy it quickly.
I am offering every item in my immense stock at just
what it cost me, and some lines below cost. AS the object
is to get rid Of the entire stock in the shortest possible time,
nothing will be reserved. No matter what the profit might
be to keep a line Of goods a little longer for the proper sea-
son, it goes now. This is your opportunity to make the
best buying of your life, for, buying in the quantities as I
do, actual cost for me is lower than the actual cost to
smaller dealers.
The one condition Of this sale is cash. I want to turn
this immense stock into money at once. Bring the money
and you can buy more goods for less money than you ever
did before. It will be well to make out your bill for all
your winter supplies, clothing, groceries, dry goods, shoes
and general merchandise. Come in at once before part of
them are gone, for you will save enough on every item to
make it worth while. Let one dollar do the purchasing
of two and have money left.
This sale will begin September :, after which my books will be closed. It
is a money maker for you f@5#.e#e s. -
SIS Very respectfully .
