BOHEMIAN, Sept. pa heavy snow
torn fell last night in Bozeman and
throughout the Gallatin valley and at
least six inches of snow we're on the
ground this morning. 1t is reported
from the country that much damage
will result to grain uncut. 1t is said
most of this will be OATS of which
large fields are still standing. The
snow has beaten the grain to the
ground, and much Of it will be a total
loss.

THE MIGHTY LION.
Il Is Easy Enough to Scare Him If
You Know lust How.

~ ubO"
If a lion or a tiger suddenly appears
before you, just hold a chair out in
front of him, and he won't do a thing.
Allen Williams, who, in the cours Of
his experience with wild animals has
been in that predicament often enough
to know, says: "These creatures have
a much more limited intelligence than
is generally supposed. They a take
in only one thing at a time, and the
four legs Of a chair would keep any
lion busy thinking for a long time.
"That is the reason why animal
trainers carry two whips when they
are in the circus ring. One for crack
ing and awning the performers, the 9TH
err for emergencies. If one Of the lions
tries to attack him the trainer simply
holds the reserve whip in front of him.
The two objects together are too much
for the lions intelligence, and he is i'm
mediately subducd."
Another proof Of the limited intelli-
gence Of the cat tribe, say trainers, is
the fact that their performances must
always come in the same order Of sue
cession. If by some accident the order
is broken, the animals are completely
lost, and the trainers are few who a
keep them in submission one they be.
come confused. In fact, most trainers
consider themselves lucky in a case Of
this sort If they can get the lions
quietly back into their cages.
The whole cat family, moreover, is
as treacherous as it is stupid.-Milwau-
kee Sentinel.

BIG TREES.

ern California.
The sequo;a in Humboldt is the tall
est tree in the whole United States.
But the tourist from the east or vest
knows it not. What would he say to
the information that in the northwest
OF California grows a mighty continu-
GUS forest of these great trees and that
1t takes days to travel merely from
end to end of that forest, which is
longer than the distance from Boston
to New York or from Chicago to st.
Louis. Yet such is the case.
On the ridges and flats of Humboldt
IS the forest, and in that forest the
trees grow to twenty-six feet in diane
ter and tower 400 feet toward the sky.
Do You know what those figures mean?
Measure the room in which you are
now sitting. II it is a very large room,
the longest dimensions would lust
about contain one Of these great
trunks. Look out Of your window and
e the people more than a city block
away. That is the distance from
which one sees the topmost boueh Of
these stupendous giants.
The redwood Of California is the
great tree Of the Pacific coast. Two
thousand acres Of it exist in Oregon
along the Chetco river. South of the
Chetco a continuous redwood belt be-
gins and increases in width from ten
miles at Del Norte county to eighteen
or twenty miles and keeps on I'M
broken to southern Humboldt county.
Here is a gap, but in Mendocino the
belt becomes dense again and widens
out to thirty-ive miles. South Of that
county the tree grows in isolated
patches.-Humboldt Standard.

Amount Of Rainfall Over the Earth

Amount Of Rainfall Over the Earth.
The discussion of observations or
rainfall made first by Sir John Murray
and later by Bruckner and Fritsche
permits M estimation to be made Of
the mean rainfall on continents, which
Is found to be about thirty inches per
year. The rainfall on the ocean is
more difficult to measure, but it has
been estimated by Supau, and Fritsche,
taking account Of all the known facts,
estimates the mean annual rainfall for
the entire surface of the earth at about
thirty-six inches. Making use Of this
number, it Is easy to calculate that the
total rainfall amounts to 464 million
millions Of metric tons per year, 1879
thousand millions of tons per day,
$1,000 millions Of tons per hour, $685.
100000 tons per minute or II, 900
tons per second.-Scientifc American.

A Crab Habit,

Catch a fresh crab, mash the end Of
II Of its claws and watch with what
fierce wrath it will tear off the mutt
lated member. Is it pride that causes
him to do this bit Of surgical work, or
is he afraid of blood poisoning, or Is 1t
because the manned claw might ob-
struct his speed or entangle him in the
submarine botany? The crab Is an In
teresting creature and, like his big
cousin, the lobster, is as scrappy As q
game bantam, often losing a limb in a
scutle.-Exchange.

Religion For the
Living, Not Only
For the Dying.
BY the Rev. DR.. CHARLES F. AKED of New York.

4@S@SrSS~"sR HE question of the decreasing membership and waning
! - ! influence of religion-the churches-is not a denomi-
+ national question. 1t is not a national question. 1t is
a question as wide as Christianity itself. Conditions
in America are, broadly speaking, the same as in Eng.
@>*~@~@*%@ land and in England as in the rest of Europe. 1 can
see the difference in this country since I first visited the United States
fifteen years ago.
THE DANGER 10 NOT FROM DIRECT ATTACK ON RELIGION.
THIS DENIAL OF eEL'EF-rHAT is, ATHE'sM-HAs SPENT ITS
FORCE. WHAT THE CHURCHES HAVE TO FEAR IS A MORE IN.
sIDIoUs Observation-Disclosures.
The man in the street says, "The church is a back number" He
feels that he can do without it. If you ask him whether he believes
in God, in the existence Of an infinite power superior to man, the
chances are that he will say eyes" But questions of dogma, dstinc-
tons of creed, do not interest him, and he refuses to concern himself
about them. He has made up his mind that he can get along without
relgion-that is, religion as it has been expounded to him. But this
DOES NOT MEAN NECESSARILY THAI HE is IRE
LIGIOUs.
It secms to me that this Indifference is more pronounced in America
than in England, just as orthodoxy is more strictly defined and more
unyclding over here. And where there is Indifference to the church
l can form no other conclusion than that the church itself is to blame.
Yet the need of religion never has been greater in any age or country
than in this country and in the day we live in. Churches exist and
preachers are maintained to remind men and ma. ms of the eternal
laws they must obey and the eternal love in which they may rest. And
in the United States they may yet be needed as the mainstay Of social
order.
EITHER THE CHURCHES HAVE GOT TO LIVE UP TO THE
TASK OF KEEPING THE SOUL OF THE NATION ALIVE OR THEY
WILL PERISH.
Statistics gathered by DR.. Josiah Strong show that the gain of the
churches in membership in proportion to the gain in population is
steadily and rapidly falling off. In the past twenty years it is less than
half what it was in the preceding twenty. The trouble is that TOO
MUCH OF OUR RELIGION, BOTH AS IT is PREACHED
AND AS 1T IS PRACFICED, LACKS LIFE. The attitude of a
vast number of persons toward it is like that of the New York banker
who said to a certain preacher at the conclusion of his sermon: "This
is the first time l ever knew that religion had anything to do with
living. I thought it had to do only with dying and going to hell"

Simple Method Of Cooking Cabbage.

The simplest and quickest methods
Of cooking cabbage are the best. Cab
bage must be trimmed and well wash
ed in cold, sailed water, then cut into
quarters and tied together again with
a string before going into the sauce
pan, because the heart is more tender
than the outside and uniform softness
is desired. Have plenty Of boiling
water with n heaping tablespoonful Of
salt to the half gallon Of water. Let
it be boiling when the cabbage Is put
in and cook 1t with the lid of, and II
it be fresh it will keep a good, color.
The time depends more upon the age
than the size-from twenty to forty
minutcS.-Delineator.

The Unprincipled Man
Always Haunted by Shadows.

By Rev. Dr MADISON c PETERS Of New York
IL gotten gains can never make the possessor happy. On
the contrary, they bring misery in their train. The mprin-
cipled man is ALWAYS HAUNTED BY SHADOWS
which, Ae Banqads ghost, will not down. His conscience
troubles. There IS a constant gnawing at the heart which never
allows surcease tnn Suspicion and apprehension of the future.
Not alone IS hs meutd equilibrium unbalanced, but his physical
being is indicative of the strain in the sunken eye, the pale cheek, the
nervous tremor, the uncertain step. A FEAR IS EVER UPON
HIM which he cannot shake of, and, though he may be a Croesus, he
cannot purchase that contentment of mind and poise of body which
confer their happiness on the poor man who has led an upright life,
true to principle, and who, like Longfenow's blacksmith, CAN LOOK
THE WHOLE WORLD IN THE FACE AND FEAR NOT
MAN.
The unprincipled man sails in a ship like the tabled one Of old
which when it approached the magnetic mountain had all the nails
and bolts drawn out and went to pieces in the depths of the sea.
BUT THE MAN OF PRINCIPLE, SELF SUSTAINED, IS ,nvu
NERAeLE, CAN sURMoUNT EVERY DIFFICULTY. WITHSTAND
EVERY SIEGE AND TRIUMPH IN HIS OWN MEDICATION.

The Nation Is Rich
And Growing Richer.

BY judge Ebert II. GARY. Charnano of he j.. S Steel Corporation.
~INANCIAL conditions are improved and improving. THE
: p LEGISLATION RECENTLY ENACTED IS A STEP
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Next autumn will not
witness a repetition of the scenes Of October, 1907. There
will probably be worked out a financial system which will provide
funds for the expansion or contraction of the volume of business and
for the immediate wants of particular localities which result from the
exigencies of the time and place.
THE NATION IS RICH AND RAPIDLY GROWING
RICHER. 1t compares most favoraby with all other nations. Its
opportunities in the direction of material growth are greatest Of them
all. If one glances at the figures relating to the increase in population
or additional value of property and amount of money in the treasures
and the banks and in general circulation, one is amazed at the enlarge
ment in resources and financial strength of the country. The wise are
even now prepared to reap the benefit which will result from these
conditions when the tide of business full returns.
WE SHALL DO BUSINESS ON A BASIS SOMEWHAT DIFFER.
EMIT AND VERY MUCH BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN DONE. WE
SHALL BE MORE CAUTIOUS, LOOK FARTHER AHEAD, KEEP MORE
CLOSELY WITHIN THE LIMITS OF OUR RESOURCES, BUT WE
SHALL HAVE CONFIDENCE Ia THE FUTURE.
