Senator Clark Talks Politics.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 9.-United
Stat es Senator w. A. Clark Of Mon
tana, in an interview here today de-
clared his belieft that William J. BRYAN
will be nominated by tie democrats
for president i'll 1908. The senator ex-
pressed himself as confident that the
NebraSkan would have no opposition
in the convention. Referring to Mon
tana politics, Senator Clark said that
his successor would "probably be a
dem oCrat,' his advices on the political
situation in his state being that the
next legislature would be democratic.
He did not think, however, that +.
Augustus Heinze would be nominated.
and stated that he had understood
Heinze had expressed himself as not
desiring political preferment. The
senator state d that his own retirement
from the senate was due to his desire
to be more at home. His duties at the

Reckless of Danger, the Great Soldier
Was Wounded Many
Times.

In reply to the question in what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger of
losing his life Napoleon once said, In
the commencement of my campaigns. :"
Indeed, if further proof were demand
ed to show that he did not spare him.
self at Toulon it is only necessary to
add that during the ten weeks of it's
siege Napoleon, in addition to bay
onet wound in his thigh, had three
horses shot under him, while at the
Egypt he lost no fewer than four in
the same manner.
During the last days of his life,
when captivity, disappointment and
sickness had well nigh completed their
work, it is said that the agony of his
fatal disease drew from him on many
occasions the spitiful cry of, why did
the cannon balls spare me?"
During his long military career Ma
poleon fought so battles, while Caesar
fought but So In the early part of his
career he was uttrely reckless of dan
ger while on the battlefield, and this
spirit of fearlessness contributed large
ly to the love and esteem in which he
was held by his armies. There was a
curious belief among the English in
Napoleon's time that he had never
been wounded, and indeed the report
was current that he carefully if not in
cowardly manner refrained from ex-
posing himself. Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was in
reality several times severely wound
ed, but as he wished to impress upon
his troops the belief that good fortune
never deserted him and that, like
Achilles, he was well nigh invulner-
able, he always made a secret of his
many dangers. He therefore enjoined
once for all upon the part Of his inn
mediate staff the most absolute silence
regarding all circumstances of this ma
ture, for it is almost impossible to call
culate the confusion and disorder
which would have resulted from the
slightest report or the. smallest doubt
relative to his existence. Upon the sim
gle thread of this mans life depended
not only the fate and government of a
great empire, but the whole policy and
destiny of Europe as well.

Artificial six the Latest.

In Gothenburg, Sweden, or at some
place in its neighborhood, will soon
be built large factory for the man
ufacture of artificial silk for export
A company has receitly been organic
ed there with a capital not to be less
than $160,800 and not to exceed $780,
AGO. with the purpose of building a
factory and exploiting an invention
made by Engineer r. w. Strehlenert,
of Djursholm, Sweden, for the manu-
facture of vegetable silk. Excluding
experiments, this industry is new in
Sweden, and 1t is claimed that the silk
manufactured from nitro-cellulose by
Mr.. Strehlenert's method has just as
fine an appearance and is just as
strong or durable as natural silk, or
even stronger. It is further stated
that the silk has been tested or tried
in Swedish or German cloth factories

KINDS OF SOIL.
A Little Talk as to the Elements to
Be Found.

There are innumerable kinds of soil,
as there are innumerable combinations
of the soil elements. But to establish
some kind of an understanding be-
tween the students of soil the soils
have been generally divided into six
different kinds. All kinds of soil that
will produce crops have in them both
clay and sand. This does not always
appear to be the case to the casual OBJ
server. The man that has a light
sandy soil, says Farmers Review,
thinks that it is all sand because he
cannot see the clay The man that
has a heavy clay soil thinks there is
no sand in it because he cannot see
the sand. If, however, he were to
wash out either kind of soil he would
find in them both of the elements men
toned.
What is known as pure clay is OF
almost no value for the growth OF
vegetation, though some forms of
vegetation will grow upon it. This
kind of soil consists of about go per
cent. of silica and about 40 per cent.
of aluminium, with some oxide of iron.
These are chemically combined to a
considerable extent. If this soil is
boiled it does not generally deposit
any considerable percentage of sand
A very heavy clay soil will have in
it large percentage of aluminium and
the silica, but will also have from 10
to Is per cent. of sand, which will be
deposited if the soil is boiled. II the
clay soil is what we call a clay lOam
the amount of sand that can be de-
posted by boiling will be from Is to
30 per cent. Clay soil that contains
this amount of sand is very friable,
that is. its parts are easily separated.
It is therefore more easily cultivated.
A loamy soil contains perhaps 40
per cent. of the clay and go per cent.
of sand that can be washed out in
boiling water. If this soil is filled
with humus and has much fertility 1t
is called a rich loamy soil. The
amount of sand that may be separated
does not, show how much more than
40 per cent. can be set loose in this
way.
A sandy loan is one that has from
GO to 90 per cent. of sand and from 10
to 40 per cent. of clay or OF clay and
sand in combination. When it be-
comes so sandy that it has in it not
more than 10 per cent. of clay it is
known as a sandy soil and is little re-
tentive of moisture, and holds fertil-
izers but poorly.

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com
plant, Infantile Eczema-Mothe
Praises Cuticura Remedies.

"Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, infantile Eczema, which affiict-
ed him for several months, commenc-
ing at the top of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured full set OF
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that I ever
beheld, prior to the treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle

very large, muscular man fell asleep,
and annoyed all the passengers by
snoring Tremendously. A drummer,
carrying half lemon In his hand,
tiptoed over to little boy who sat
behind the snorer.
"'Son,' said the drummer, I am a
doctor, and il that man doesn't stop
snoring he'll die of apoplexy. Watch
your chance, and as soon as his
mouth opens a little wider, lean over
and squeeze this lemon into it.

The Caravan Cure.

One of the many cures" favored by
fashionable people weary of London,
is the caravan cure. This simple
and enjoyable method of renewing
ones strength consists in travelling
about Britain in cart, such as the
Gypsies have, and camping out at
night wherever a haven can be found.
Lord and Lady Arthur Grosvenor
have spent the summer journeying in
this fashion through Exmoor, wild
and mountainous country, made
famous by the great romance, Lorna
Doone. One night they encamped on
the farm of John Rid, of the novel.
The difficulties in hill climbing have
been enormous. but the pleasure OF
the trip has made it worth while.
