=. lowed by a HaIibut.

About the mouths of the streams on
which salmon camps are situated the
Indian dogs and children amuse them
selves catching the fish. Some of the
youngsters are so small that after they
have succeeded in cornering fish
the combined efforts Of the party are
often required to dispatch it and carry
1t. to; camp. I have watched dogs run
ming about In rift swapping at the
salmon and apparently having the time
of their lives. ~ IN.
One Of the most amusing sights that
I saw during my stay in Alaska was
two Indian boys being towed about
the harbor at Kadiak by huge hail.
but they had Just hooked. Utterly un.
able to land the fish, they had fastened
the hne to the stern Of the boat, and
while~they pulled with all their might,
each one at an oar, they rallied each
other for not exerting more strength
and shouted loudly for help. Finally
an, Indian put out in a boat, and the
fish was landed.-Forest and Stream.

1T may need cleaning when it hasn't
even been worn.
"a common cause of this is that the
oil in the works has dried up and be.

not only wants cleaning. but also the
addition of fresh oil.
1.-THE best oil for this purpose is OBJ
tanned from the jawbone of porpoise

mix their own oil from various kinds.
Clocks also stop for no apparent
reason. During thunderstorm, for

County Auditor N. Scott Jewett. Of.

Tribune that the returns were missing
and explained that he had taken the
returns to Billings county for filing.
under the impression that Billings was
the senior county, but was given to url-
'derstand that Mercer was the senior
county of the district, so he had filed
them in both counties, and had sup
posed the returns had been forward

in the Thirty-ninth district as to which
county is the senior even now, but at

"A Weddina Superstitior,,

It has been considered unlucky to be
married in May ever since the days Of
Ovid, and those people who have spent
their time in looking up roots and
reasons have given what they consider
to be the origin Of the superstition as
follows: FL, :: .s.e ~ ,,st., j -, e.s.
!: In ancient Rome there was held In
May festival called the Lemuria, or
feast of the Lemures, which was a
ceremony In honor Of the speeches of
departed souls. It became with the
Romans what we should call sbad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the season of a solemn ritual, being no
doubt thought to be an insult to the
dead to marry at such time. From
this number of stories grew Of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them, and If anything unfortunate hap
pened to a couple who had been mar
ried in May it would, Of course, have
been put down to retribution. So the
tradition Of Ill luck arose, and its in
fuence has lasted ever SINCE. even to
our time ~.

You Probably Think It 10 Twenty-seur
Hours, but It liant.
& Nine persons out of 'ten-yes, 900 out

takes the earth to turn once on its
axis would answer twenty -four ht.urs,
and to the question, How many times
does It turn on its axis in the course
Of tile year? the answer would be
B65A times. Both answers are wrong.
n It requires but twenty three hours
end ffty-six minutes for the earth to
make one complete turn, and it makes
1904 turns during the year. The err
ror springs from wrong idea of what
10 meant by day. ~
~ The day Is not, as Is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that Is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its dfurnal course through the heavens
before it Is again seen in that position.
Now, in consequence of the earth's
revolution In its orbit or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance
of moving very slowly in the heavens
in adirection from east to west. At
noon tomorrow the sun will be short
distance to the east Of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon

made one complete turn it will still

curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in continual state Of ''train-

compelled to wear the same single gar

age till they reached sixty were re-
quired to dine at the public tables,
where only certain quantity was sup
piled for each man. The magistrates
interfered in absurdly small matters.
They regulated the degree Of fairness to
which it was lawful for any citizen to
extend his body.
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer-
else were sometimes soundly logged.

before the ephors (magistrates) and the
whole assembly Of Sparta, and This un-

wood in week. .., &@'@@'
Nonsense" was the response he met
with. He stood firm, and pretty soon
offers to bet were made. Charles II.
Treat. treasurer of the United States,
bet $1,000 that Moote couldn't chop
and split five cords in a day Several
prominent senators also made bets,
and Mr.. Treat agreed to keep the
money until the wager was decided.
Mr.. Evarts got in communication with
L. G. White Of the Amsden Lime COM

arrangements were made to take the
party to Amsden. to witness the feat.
Sept. 26 was agreed on, and the village
