THE TRADE RAT.
odd Ways of This Peculiar Little
California; todcnt,

One Of the oldest little animals In
existence Is the California wood rat,
better known rs the "trade rat" 1t
owes the latter name to the fact that,
though 1t Is II great thief. 1t never steals
anything without putting something
else In Its place. 1t Is said that paste
pot which had been left overnight In
the assay office of Il silver mine In that
state was found In tic morning with
the oldest collection OF rubbish. This
was the work OF trade rats. They had
stolen the paste and left in exchange a
piece OF stick, n length OF rope, some
odds and ends of wire and an unbrok en-
glass funnel. The object OF the trado
rat In so scrupulously paying for what
lie takes Is something OF mystery, but
these same rats certainly take the
grcatest pleasure in the odds and ends
which they steal and collect.
In Lindsny's .NIlnd In Lower AMI
mails" a description Is given of trade
rats nest found In an unoccuplcd
house. The outside was composed en-
tlrely of iron spikes laid In perfect
symmetry, with the points outward
Interlnccd with the spikes were about
two dozen forks and spoons and three
large butcher knives. There were also
lnrsc carving fork, knife and steel,
several plugs OF tobacco, an old purse,
n quantity of small carpenters tools,
Including several angers, and watch
OF which the outside casing, the glass
and the works were all distributed
separately. so rs to make the best
show possible.
The trade rat has Its South American
counterpart In the vlscacha, pretty
little relative Of the chinchilla. which
lives In families OF twenty or thirty on
the pampas. Everything that takes its
fancy and Is portable is carried by the
vtscacha and piled in neat little heaps
at the mouth of its burrow. If ranch
man drops his watch or any similar
article he always searches the vlscacha

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.

Hair preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or Irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally luxurIantly.
Dandruff Is the cause OF nine-tenths Of
all hair trouble. and dandruff is caused
By a germ. The only way to cure dand-
run Is to kill the germ; and. SO far, tho

tific standpoint, yet there is good
deal of practical business sense in
connection herewith; and we trust
every reader will take the time to
study it thoroughly, so that if ever
called upon, he can explain the why
and wherefore of churning.
We quote as follows: Several theo-
ries have been put forward to &C
count for the phenomenon of churning.
Thus, Fleischman holds the view that
the globules of fat in milk are in
Supervised condition, and that churn-
ing is simply the phenomenon of solid
ification; with the recognition of the
fact that the globules are solid at
low temperature this view is unten-
able. Soxhlet holds that churning con-
sists in the rupture of the solid mem
brane, which he believes exists round
the fat globules; as the existence OF
such a membrane appears hypothetical
this view cannot be accepted. Storch
attributes churning to the gradual rub
bling off of a semi-solid membrane OF
"mucoid substance" and this n.y.
pothesis has much to recommend it;
the whole of the evidence points to
the existence of layer, which is not

ago would not amount to more than
$40 per year, at the present time, as
has been stated has gone to $53. The
price of milk, however, has undergone
little change. 1t would seem, there

clusion in the matter of pure milk

The Origin Of windfall.

The Origin OF
The origin Of the expression wind
fall" which Is used when one wishes
to refer to a streak of good luck, dates
back to the time Of William the Con-
Queror. At that time it was a criminal
ofense to cut timber in the British for
ests, without royal consent. All that
could be gathered for fuel or other
purposes was such limbs as the wind
should happen to break and cast to the
ground. rOn this account the peasants
hailed a great windstorm as a bless
ing, because it was apt to cast enough
Of "windfalls" for winter arewood.
From this old time forestry custom
comes the modern application of the
expression. At n time it was decreed
that only such limbs and whole trees
as should fall during the: three summer
months could be used as flrewood, but
the %unjustness Of the act was so plain
y, apparent that no attempt was ever
made to enforce It.

The number of candidates who are

this district, Stark and Billings counties,
so far as learned, the petitions out are
for ]. E. Phelan, A. L. Martin, ]. F.
Brodie, G. r. Wannemacher and Thos.
Evans.
Under the new primary law, petitions
must be filed with the county auditor
not less than 20 and not more than 40
days prior to June 10.
There is one feature of the law which
makes it remunerative to the county in
the event that there are a good many
candidates, and that is the fee which the
candidate must deposit at the time the
petition is filed. The schedule for the
larger Offices is based on the yearly
salary and is as follows:

Candidates who do not have petitions,
as prescribed bylaw, will be unable to
get their. names on the official ballot for
the primary election which will be.con-
Quoted in the same name as a general
election. There. is nothing to prevent
any person from running by stickers, but
the chances for nomination will be much
better where petitions are used in the
regular manner.
The persons securing the highest
number of votes at the primaries for any
Office, are, recognized as the regular
nominees. The votes are ~caavassed at
the court house the same as for the
general fall election. The result of the
primaries will, to a great extent, decide
the outcome of the fall election and
voters should govern themselves acsord-
ingly and show interest in the prim-
aries.
