Ants eggs come in the main from
Russia. They are the best food OBJ
tainable for gold fish. and canaries
and other cage birds thrive on them
wonderfully. They cost about so
cents q pint In the forests OF south
ern Russia ant nests abound. The
Russian egg hunter does not DO his
own collecting there-he makes the
poor ants do 1t for him. Selecting q
hot. sunny day. the man first erects
little piles Of twigs. q dozen or more
OF them, near the thickest colonies,
and then he kicks open all the nests
In the neighborhood. The ants know
that their eggs. thus exposed to the
sun would be made sterile in q few
hours, and they take them up and
hurry to place them under the nearest
shelter. The nearest shelter is. OF
course, the little pile Of twigs, and
under. each Of these there are soon
heaped the eggs from a hundred
nests. The egg hunter. after q smoke
and q nap, has nothing to do but gath
or up his spoil and dump It in his
sack. He ships the eggs in hundred
weight bags. all over the world.

A recently acquired abnormality OF

Older specimens are portion Of a
similar skull with the horns and mod

uniformly over the horns, with no sign
Of thickening or hardening. Just what
these hornlike growths signify Is per-

There was sincere affection be-
tween the late Alabama senators, Nor.
gan and Pettus. 1t is said that Pettus
adored Morgan. He looked up to him
as few men look up to other men.
When Morgan passed away the fading
old veteran lost all interest in life.
These things sound unbelievable, per-
haps, to a skeptical modern time, but
Morgan and Pettus did not belong to
a modern time, They were relics Of
an elder age. They passed away al
most together. The death Of one pre-
ceded and, the Alabama men say,
brought about the death Of the other.
Together they lie in Selma, where,
side by side, they lived for 40 years.

ITS TAX PAYERS HARD

Timber holdings have been in
creased 10 per cent. The Northern
Pacific railroad will be required to
pay ON the assessment of $500 per
mile rather than $9250 as last year.
This is an increase of about one
third. The electric line has been in.
creased slightly, perhaps 10 per cent
The Fort Sherman branch of the
Northern Pacific railroad is placed at
about the same figure as last year,
$4,000.
The international which has never
been assessed before, is placed at
$500 per mile.
On the whole it is thought the val.
nations in Kootenai county have been
increased from % to 80 per cent.
The county and state levy will reach,
it is thought, from 80 to 80 mills to
81 mills last year, showing an in
crease of not less than mills on the
levy.

LANDS EXAMINED
Many Applications Made by
Settlers For Reserve Lands.

Under the act of congress passed
June IL, 1907, many settlers have
filled applications at the local land
Office for certain agricultural lands
within the various forest reserves.
1t is claimed about 100 settlers have
applied for lands in the Occur
d'Alene Forest reserve.
The government has taken steps TO
comply with its part Of the act by
appointing several special examiners
to enter the reserve and examine the
claims to determine the nature of the
land. After the lands have been
passed upon by the special agents and
they have made their reports, if the
latter are favorable, the settler will
be allowed to homestead the land as
though it we're not within forest re-
serve. This act is not supposed to
affect the heavily timbered lands
in any way as it is claimed they are
not open for homesteading under the
Forestry policy. 1t is thought heavy
inroads will be made in some of the
reserves by the settlers inasmuoh as
the Forestry department is said to be
more lenient than heretofore.
