GOOD News FOR
Milk RIVER PROJECT.

Washington. Dec. 30. l9O5-I'he st.
Mary's irrigation project will be car
ried out Senator Carter having won
out in his efforts to see that it is
pushed along. The Washington Post
of yesterday says:
when Senator Carter Of Montana
goes after a thing he usually gets it,
and adds that his latest achievement,
accomplished in spite Of the opposition
Of the secretary Of the interior, is
a promise for the construction Of work
that. will irrigate and redeem more
than 1000, 600 acres of the public do
main in the state Of Montana and
create new homes to which settlers
will be invited. Director WOlcOtt has
the plan that will realize this fulfill
ment with reference to the st. Mary'S
lake project that without approach
ing the Canadian border connection
may be made between the lake and
Milk river on it's renurn flow after en-
tering the United States, there to di-
vide the water.
He proposes to cut the canal
through these hills and divert the
waters Of st. Mary and make all this
natural storage Of water available for
| irrigation.
The original plans were to build a
canal north from the lake to connect
| with the Milk river in Canada, then
| to take out the water where Milk riV-
! or flows back into the United States
The enterprising Canadians proposed
to tap the Milk river and take out
this water ahead Of the Americans
Efforts TO bring about an adjustment
tied up the project.
/ Senator Carter has prevailed upon
Secretary Hitchcock TO eliminate the
idea of building a canal north from
the lake and instead to cut it through
the hills on the east and thus connect
with the Milk river after it returns
from across the line, thus shutting out
the Canadians entirely. 1t is eStimat
ed this can be done within the Origi
nal figures named for the project anC
work will be resumed in the early
spring.

Why Some Men Are superstftious.

Why Some Men Are SupcFStltions.
There are men who have Il cougeni-
tai tendency to distrust fate. With the
better half of their minds they may be
optimists, but there is a corner which
is never free from the pain Of fear, the
fear of sort of transcendental spite,
Plutarch said of the supersttiouS that
they believed in the gods and believed
them to be unfriendly. Some survival
of this pagan notion remains to this
day even among those whose rcaSona-
Bile conviction and reverent faith alike
lead them to totally opposite c0nclu-
sions. They do not believe they will
have more misfortunes if they take q
house which is numbered - than if
they took one numbered 81, but they
avoid the former in order to quiet their
own painful imaginations. - London

ANIMAL MUD BATHERS.
The wild Boar, the Water Buffalo
and the Elephant.

Animals when wild constantly die
lingering death from injury to the
skin, whether caused, as usually hap
pens in tropical countries, by wounds
aggravated by insects or by cutaneous
disease: hence the pains which they
take in making their toilet and in the
use and selection Of cosmetics"
Among birds the salt water species
often seek fresh water to wash in, diff
ferent land birds choose different
earths in which to dust and also wash
In water, and nearly every tropical
animal, including the tiger, bathes Ell
Their i'll water or in mud. Perhaps the
best known mud bathers are the wild
boar, the water buffalo and the elc
phant. The latter has an immense ad-
vantage over all other animals in the
use of it's trunk for dressing wounds
1t is at once a syringe, wondering
puff and hand.
Water, mud and dust are the main
Applications used, though it some
times covers q sun sccrched back with
grass or leaves. "WoGAIed elephants .
writes Sir Samuel Baker, have a mar
velous power of recovery when i'll their
wild state, although they have no gifts
of surgical knowledge, their simple
system being confined to plastering
their wounds with mud or blowing
dust upon the surface. Dust and mud
comprise the entire pharmacopoeia Of
the elephant, and this is applied upon
the most trivial as well as upon the
most serious occasions. l have seen
them, when in q tank, plaster up q
bullet wound with mud taken from
the bottom. London Spectator.

How They Pass Along Information
About Their Employers.
In China it is a common thing for
some people to beWail the lack Of Il
cook, while their neighbors have num-
berS Offering themselves directly the
vacancy occurs. The reason Of this is
that each cook hands on to his success
or his employers character" This he
does by means of Il saucepan left
standing In the kitchen.
If the place be considered a good one
a saucepan will be left on the ground
with the lid put on properly. If the lid
be put on wrong way uppermost it
means that the place is a good one and
that the cook has only left for time
and means to return rs soon as he can.
If the lid be put half in and half out OF
the saucepan it indicates that the place
is q good one, but the master is stingy.
If the lid be on properly and some rice
be left in it it shows that the servant is
quite satisfied with everything concern
ing the owners of the house, but that
he is obliged to leave owing to debts OF

been originally adopted by the Chinese
from the Tamils.
