Curious Russian Law.

Russia has a law which to outside
observers seems almost to put a
premium on theft, by which stolen
goods become the property of the
thief If he can prove that he has had
possession of them for over five years.
In the thieves market-which is, OF
course, licensed by the pollce-goods
that admittedly have been stolen
more than five years before) are
openly offered for sale, and the place
is a veritabe Mecca for the lght-fin-
gered gentry and their enterprising
friends, as also for the more honest
members Of society, who secure many
tempting bargain.

"Pll only be too glad" replied the
young man, flattered at the invitation
from such a pretty, likable girl as
Ethel English. 'Ill come around to-
night"
Now, most Brownsville folks say
that this was pure chance, this meet
ing of the two young people in an
other town. But there are a few who
declare that young Breckenridge had
fallen in love with the girl the first
time he say her at Brownsville and
that he had gone purposely to Car
michaels, where he could have the
field alone to himself. At any rate,
there had been another girl to whom
he had been engaged, but three weeks
before he had given her up-the rea-
son he gave at the time was because
she lad danced with another fellow.

Fish as Fertilizer

A novel line of business which has been developed to large proportions of late is the shipping of fertilizer made from Alaska herring to the Orient for use in the rice fields of China. On the steamship Minnesota, which left for the Far East receLtly was shipped about 24O tons of herring guano, brought to Seattle on the steamer Al-Ki from Kill lisnoo in Southern Alaska.
 There are located at Killisnoo special plants for the preparation of guano. The herring are caught in large quan- titles and the oil is crushed from them and used in various products. The by products, which cannot contain more tban 8 per cent of oil, is ground to a fine powder, burned in kilns and suo' mitted to other processes which re- suit in converting it into high grade fertilizer. This is shipped to the Orient where it is popular with Chinese rice planters. About 1900 tons have been been shipped this season.
 A similar guaDo is made in Alaska from the carcasses of whales, but owing to the large amount of oil it tcontains is not regarded as highly in the Orient. Experiments have been made by the Alaska cannery men to, find process for converting the salmon waste into guano, but as yet no satisfactory scheme has been devised.-Seattle Times.

that Its remedy should be so hard to

any marvellous nostrums, by observing
4 few important rules of health, says
the Kansas City Times. The dyspep-
tic must first fix in his mind the fact
that his ailment is the result of bad
habits Of eating and living and that
these must be changed and that drugs
will do him no good. He must begin
by avoiding all starchy foods, as pota-
toes, rice, oatmeal, beans. etc. Meats,
foft boiled eggs, milk toast. zwiebacE,
ETC., are the best foods for avoiding
fermentation and the gas that causes

cies. Another is boiled milk with

meals six or seven hours or more

PROVIDE SKATING PLACE

HERETOFORE, about this time of the year. there
has usually been some talk about getting up a
skating club and raising fund to pay for keeping clear
space on The ice of the lake large enough for skating
purposes.
According to all precedents, the lake should be
frozen solidly, bit the remarkably warm winter
which has so far prevailed has kept the ice from form
ing early as usual.
There will undoubtedly be ice to skate on however,
and means should be adopted that those who enjoy
skating may have opportunity to make the most of
this heathful form Of exercise.

POLITICAL. THUNDER.

The political rumblings are growing
louder as We advance into the presi-
dental election year. Not only is this true
of national politics, but there is already
some talk about local political affairs
Metropolitan national convention
will be held in June, and the demo
cratic convention shortly thereafter,
which makes the various states and
counties get busy with their conven-
tions earlier than in year when no
presidential election is on.
Among the local officers to cleo,
this fall is district judge, and the
Western News of Libby calls attention
to the necessity OF the republicans put
ting up strong candidate if they are
TO capture this Office from the demo.
Gratis, who now hold it through Judge
E. Erickson, who, the News thinks,
will be candidate for reelection.
'Who the republicans will name is a
question" says the News. sand the
consensus Of opinion seems to be that
the republicans will do we'll to avail
themselves of the strongest possible
man in the party to make the race
against Judge Erickson. This county
is normally republican by something in
the neis hborhood of 400 votes on
national issues, but when it comes to
the local ticket it is safe to assume
that there is no other Subdivision OF
Montana which has such an indepen
dent lot of voters as are found in Flat
head county. It's the individuality Of
the person seeking the suffrages of the
folks in this county which tells. Party
lines are loosely held on officials for
local administration.
