Altman FaHOrs Bitnlithic.

Robt Altman, the we'll known
sheepman and capitalist of Boise, has
returned from Portland, Tacoma, Seat
tie and other cities, where he went for
the purpose of investigating the diff
ferent methods of paving in use in
those cities. He is decidedly of the
opinion that the bitulithic method of
paving is the best now in use all
things considered. 1t gives better sat-
isfaction and wears better than any
other he investigated. Mr.. Altman is
on the city council of Boise and made
a thorough study of the subject with
the result that he will urge the adopt
ion of bitulithic in Boise. Mr.. Aikman's
investigations confirm the opinion
held by the people of Caldwell in re-
gard to pavements.

Queer Fish.

At first thought the electric chair.
which sends the criminal to his doom,
would seem to be q refinement of In.
vention possible only to mans genius.
But the electric eel can benumb q
horse so that 1t will drown before re-
covering from the shock, and the
hercest fish Is rendered helpless by the
gentlest touch OF this creature. Small
wonder those cells flourish In their ma.
tive waters and seldom fail to find
food enough and TO spared
At any rate. the gentleman angler
casting his fly upon the ripple is
unique. Surely no animal can match
the rod and line! Yet there is a fish
with long. slender filament dropping
forward from Its head. tipped with a
6eshy. wormiike appendage. The fish
lies quietly on the bottom and awaits
a nlbble, Soon a minnow makes a
dash for the waving luscious morsel.
The huge mouth opens, and--the f1nny
angler has dlned! a veritable Shylock
this, with rod, line and bait of his own
flesh and bone !-Chicago Record Her

When the nose is bleeding never hold
It over a basin or hold the head down
In any way. This only causes further
rush Of blood to the broken tissues IN
the nose. The head should be held up
and back, the flow being caught in
handkerchiefs or cloths. One of the
most effective and simple means Of
checking a nosebleed Is to press On
the upper lip. Near the undersurfacs
of the lip runs the artery that supplies
the interior nasal passages where the
Euptures occur. If this is pressed, the
flow of blood is mechanically checked,
thus allowing the blood around the
broken tissues to CONCEAL and seal up
the opening. II merely pressing with
the finger does not succeed, place q
wad of paper under the lip and fold
the lip over It, holding 1t down tight

CROSSING THE BAR.
Dying Words of Some of the WorIPs
Famous Men.

FAMOUS Men.
Nothnagel, who died alone in his
room, noted his own symptoms to the
last. A letter to his assistant is said
to have ended as follows: written
late on the evening of July 6 lust aft
er experiencing these severe attacks
died Of Qualification OF the arteries"
Traube also made observations on him
self to the very end. Locock expressed
wish to be present at the postmor-
TEN examination on himself, and among
Cuviers last recorded words is a re-
mark, as his fingers twitched involun.
tarily: Charles Bell is right: 'Ce sont
les nerfs de la volonte qui sont mala-
difs.'" Dyce Davidson, professor at
Aberdeen, died Immediately after say.
Ing to his class, speaking of the next
meeting, which was never to take
place, "Four o'clock on Monday, gen
tlemen; o'clock"
Several doctors have taken their
leave with a blessing to those around
them. Ashley Cooper's last recorded
words are, God bless you, and goodby
to you ALL! He had previously said to
his physicians. Bright and Chambers.
Goods will be done: God bless you
both!' adding, You must excuse me,
but / shall take no more medicine"
Benjamin Brodie was heard to mutter.
"After all God is very good" The
saddest of all recorded last words are
probably those of Oliver Colds NTH,
who, when asked by his PHI stefan If
his mind was at ease. said, NO it is
not" On the other hand, William
Hunters mind seems to have been full
Of bright thoughts lit the moment of
death, for he said, IF | could hold
pen, what book could write!'
Pasteur and Darwin, though not be
longing to the medical profession, are
venerated by 1t as teachers. Darwin's
last words were, 81 am not the least
afraid to die" Pasteur was offered q
cup of milk and, being unaDlc to swal-
low it, murmured, II cannot" He
passed away with one hand In his
wife's, the other grasping cruclfix.
Lastly are mentioned the last words Of
Mirabeau, which are said to have been
addressed to a doctor. He wrote on a
slip of paper, which he gave to his
physician, the philosopher Cabanis, the
single word, "Dormir" Another &C.
count, which may be an expanded YER
sion Of this, is that after begging for
an anodyne he said reproachfully to
the doct VI: Were you not my physi-
clan and my friend? Did you not
promise to spare me the suffering Of
such death? Must go away carrying
with me the regret of having conf1ded
in you" This 1" rather a long and
rhetorical speech for a dying man.

MEPHISTo'S RING.
a Jewel That Bears a Deadly Reputa-
tion In Spain.

a Jewel That Bears a Deadly Reputa-
tion In Spain.
1t seems strange to read In these
days of a ring which is Believed to
have an evil influence over Its owner
and which Is known as "Mephisto's
ring"
Yet such ring exists and until re-
cent years was in possession OF the
Spanish royal family, The ring is set
with a very large emerald, In the cen
ter of which is inserted a ruby.
1t is first heard of In the sixteenth
century, since when the kings who
owned It have suffered disasters unlim-
fled. while the whole country has grad
ually sunk from its former eminent po-
sition.
When the late Hispano-American
war broke out the ring was presented
to church. The sacred building short
ly after was destroyed by fire.
The next resting place of the ring
was museum, which was twice
struck by lightning while holding the
Ill omened Jewel.
The fatal ring has now, 1t is said
been packed In a strong box and Sc
curely buried. It remains to be seen
whether this will finally put an end
to its mystic" power. - Pearson'a

Mrs. Russell Sage has set aside a
large sum of money for the construc-
ton of homes for workingmen which
are to be let at the smallest possible
rental. Of all the big American mil
lionaires Russell Sage made the least
pretensions to philanthropy. Never
the-less his great fortune is being ex-
pended in way to do more good
than all the free libraries and col
leges that the trust barons can build.
