Cowboy Days are Passing.

Meadows Eagle The romantic
and picturesque life of the cow
boy is fading away from the
ranges of the Salmon and Rapid
river countries. The ranchers
and cattlemen of this section are
turning their attention to sheep
and Angora goats. There are
but few of the latter, as yet, but
there will be some bands started
in the near future. Ed Gage re-
Gently purchased the Jolly and
McGlimry ranches on Single
creek aud will use them for the
sheep industry. Other ranchers
along Rapid river; who have
heretofore devoted their atten-
ton entirely to cattle, will go into
the sheep business.

PLEASURE FoR AN EvENINa.
Novel Idea IN the Way o. : Church
Entertainment.

Here's a novel idea for a church en-.
tertainment which requires little prep
arAtion. A rustic bridge was built 1nt
from the stage, incloslng square
space that was used for q tish pond.
Rocks and ferns were grouped along
the edge OF the stage. the door Was
covered with green carpet. and prot
ty meadow scene painted on coarse
cotton was hung at the back OF the
stage, making very picturesque set
ting for the pond, says the Cooking
School Magazine. Steps led up to the
bridge. and at the foot was q rustic
lodge, where. on payment Of fee.
the prospective fisher was given -
pole and circle Of cardboard, upon
which was marked the number of
times he was entitled to fish. Thus
equipped, he went up on the bridge
and fshed in the pond. Tickets were
also sold by the bridge keepers. Re-
freshments were served. and there
were candy and cake tables and two
stalls where fancy articles were sold.
One Of these stalls bore the sign,
Fish Market" Here fish OF many
brilliant colors and quaint shapes
were for sale; there were blotters,
shaving cases, pin cushions and
sachet bags. On the cake table, were
many toothsome fishes-chocolat and
clear candy fishes and boxes Of candy
decorated with water color and pen
and ink sketches, also sandwiches cut
out with fish-shaped tip cutters. also
cookies and small iced cakes. At In
tervals singing and tableaux may be
given for variety.

Long. Buried Cities Of italy Are to Be
Exhumad.


All the world will join in applauding
tAS resolution of Italy 20 disinter what
treasures may yet remain under the
debris of the age-long forgotten citieR
OF 0stia and Paestum. Both cities
were unkindly dealt with by Provi-
dence. The glory of Ostia, chief port
Of ancient Rome, receiving the corn
and oil Of Sicily, Sardinia and Africa,
was slowly but surely betrayed by
Father Tiber and flung contemptuous-
ly out of reach Of the shallowest ships.
Time. curiously enough, has, however,
failed to rob her of her industry which
first made her famous, and salt 10
still produced in small quantities from
the little village of one hundred inhab-
itants that has stolen the old city's
name and pays the ruins homage from
the modest distance Of two miles.
Paestum Is more Greek than Roman,
and one may anticipate that II an
other temple of Neptune or temple OF
Ceres lies beneath the heaped-up dust
of the centuries it will be Athens and
not Rome that will be raised from
the dead. Paestum's fate is sadder
than that of Ostia, for the Greek col
ony on Roman soil was early smitten
by malaria and an evil reputation
caused her to be buried in a deeper
oblivion than the wave-washed col
umns Of Ostia.

Oh, the modesty of Man! City At
torney Anderson, of St. Louis, has de-
creed that the statues Of Venus de
Medici and Apollo Belvidere in the
Art Museum Of that city shall wear the
ungainly raiment Of modern fashion.
The great masters Of the plastic art
maintain that since God made man in
his own image the study Of the human
form must be divine; and many there
are who agree with them. To them
the shock which this most virtuous
gentleman has received at FIRST sight Of
the perfect figure done in bronze, and
altogether unadorned, is as little COM
prehensible as is to Mr.. Anderson him
self the prudery and the jealousy which
requires Turkish women in public
places 10 be yelled to the eyes. If
Mr.. Anderson will 60 frequently to
the Art Museum and become familiar
with the figures he has SHE'D at so
violently he will gradually be convinc-
ed that there is not an evil suggestion
in them. If after this he is still uncon-
vinced he is likely to find on applica-
ton to the courts that the law does not
think 50 badly Of Greek statues as he
does and that they may not be made
victims Of Comstockcrusade. But if
the court should put these figures under
the ban, it is hoped that Mr.. Anderson
will not require them to be clad in the
ungainly rainment Of modern fashion.

Where Rennars Ride.

Melon az Fish sart.

II seems that the melon is dainty
much appreciated by fish, and In
high favor as a bait among German
anglers. The method of procedure Is
as follows: A hole is cut at the end
farthest from the stem, the seeds are
extracted and part of the fruit hol-
lowed out number of hooks at.
tached to line threaded through the.
stem are buried in the flesh Of the
melon, which is then sent adrift beT
ing buoyed on the surface by two
pieces of wood and furnished with a
line, by which 1t can be drawn ashore

FAMOUS CANALS OF CHINA.
HOLLANDS Waterways outdone BY the
Celestial Empire.

Hollands canals are famous. but
the canal system of China is far more
marvellous and its value to the enor-
nous empire is simply incalculable.
No country in the world has more
navigable rivers and canals than
China. The network of waterways,
natural and artificial, so covers the
empire that almost as many people
live upon the water as on the land.
The Great canal, that wonder OF the
world, runs north and south from Can
ton to the extremity of the empire,
and by this route the wares OF all ma
lions are carried to Peking, a distance
of 1926 miles. This canal is SO feet
wide; 1t passes through, or near, Al
large cities; it has rs large sluices to
keep up the water, and is spanned by
thousands of bridges.

TROUSERS UNDER THE BAN.
Less Than a Century Ago They Were
Considered lrreiiglous.

It will assuredly seem more than
strange that within the past hundred
years the wearing of trousers has
been regarded as irreligious. The fact
that in October, 1872, an order was
made by st. Johns and Trinity col
leges that every young man who ap-
peared in hall or chapel in pantaloons
or trousers should be considered as
absent is startling enough: but 1t
would appear that eight years later
the founders OF a Bethel chapel at
Sheffield inserted clause in the
trust deed ordaining that under no
circumstances whatever shall any
preacher be allowed to occupy the
pulpit who wears trousers" This IL
striking, but it Is even more impress
sive to find that Rev. Hugh Bourne,
one of the two founders OF the PRINT
tive Methodist Connexion, said Of his
confounder, THAT trousers wearing,
beer drinking Cloves will never get
to heaven" And it would need stu
dent of the Brooches Bible" to say
precisely when this assumed con-
nection between theology and trousers
began and where the departure from
It will end.-Notes and Queries.

R,.bt. Of Employees Laid Down.

Trainers Of the earliest laws which
have come down to US gave particular
attention to the question OF the rights
Of employees" writes an observer.
Those wonderful statutes which the
great Babylonian king, Hammurabi,
codifed over 40 centuries ago have
law upon law devoted to the rights OF
servants. II the servants were free
born then their rate of payment was
fixed for them. their scale Of compen-
sation established in the event OF
their suffering loss or injury. Fer the
most part, of course, the servants OF
that age were slaves. For these. too.
provision was made. II a doctor in
jured a servant in surgical operation
he had to pay half the price which
that slave cost; If death resulted the
master received slave for slave. II the
patient were cured, then his master
had TO pay the doctors fee--two
shekels Of silver"

Pontiac, Great oraanlzer.

Pontiac exemplified at once the best
and the worst traits Of the American
Indian. AS an organizer among peo-
pie with whom organization is almost
impossibleS and as master Of the
treacherous statecraft Of his race, he
probably surpassed them all. As soon
as his death was known. the French
governor at St Louis sent for his
body and buried it with full martial
honors near the fort. For a mauso-
leum." Parkman finely says, "a great
city has arisen above the forest heroi'
and the race whom he hated with
such burning raRcor, trample with UNI
ceasing footsteps over his forgotten
rave."-Outing Magazine.
