Miner Finds Nusset of Gold.

A nugget of gold weighing more than
five pounds has been found in an old
placer in the Highland district by John
Kern and has been deposited in the
bank Of w. A. Clark 4 Co. in Butte.
Its exact weight Is 60 ounces and II
pennyweights, Troy, and it is probably
the largest nugget ever seen in Butte
or mined near this city. 1t is a beauty,
larger than an ordinary fist and Of IT.
regular shape.
1t was washed out one day last week
by Mr.. Kern on the site Of the once
famous old town Of Highland City, If
teen or twenty miles south of Butte in.
the old Highland district. Mr.. Kern
has been residing in that district near
ly forty, years and has washed out a
great quantity Of gold in that time, but
never enough at any time to make the
recovery remarkable, and The nugget
which he has just brought to Butte is
the biggest find he has ever made.
When it became known among the
old placer miners they visited the
Clark bank in numbers to see the pre-
cious lump of the real stuff. They
touched it tenderly, patted it admir-
ingly and lifted and weighed it en-.
viously. Men who had never seer gold
in it's native purity, also called to get
a peek at 1t.
Its value is $1,1S6.95.-Anaconda

COMPOSITION OF THE BLOOD.

1t is Controlled by tho Sympathetic
nr Third Nerve System Of tho Body.
The chemistry Of the blood is largely.
though not exclusively, controlled by
the third great nervous system in us,
n nervous system whose existence the
public has hardly heard of but which
physicians already know to be more
directly connected with the life Of the
body thar are brain and spinal cord put
together. Physicians do not often men
ton 1t, simply because they know SO
little for certain about it. By the old
anatomles 1t was called the great sym
pathetic, because 1t was imagined to
distribute feelings all over the body,
thereby causing the head to ache out Of
sympatny with the stomach when 1t
was sour. "sas-~&r- %s' -. 40
Both the cells and the fbres of this
system differ in numerous particulars
from those Of the spinal cord and brain
and it may briefly be described as con-
slsting of three divisions. The first
division. says a writer In E~verybody's
Magazine, presents a long chain of ner-
vous masses called gangla, which lie
on either side 81 the sfblne fsap the
head down. These gang1la are connect
ed together BY strands Of their sort OF
nerve hbres, while others Of them pass
to make Connections with the spinal
cord, the medulla oblongata and the
brain. The second division consists OF
ganglia, or masses Of ganglia lying be-
hind the important organs, such as the
heart, etc, which they are said to in
%nerrate. The largest Of these is called
the solar plexus, lying behind the stom-
ach, which innervates the liver, spleen,
stomach and intestines. Other impor-
tant ganglia innervate the kidneys and
pelvic organs. The third division Of
tnis system consists of numerous small
ganglia distributed to every part Of the
body and all connected with one

OUR LYNCH1NGS.
Record Of 1908 Greater than That
Of Last Year.

OIL AdSL 40oAs
The lynching record for 1908 shows
that the practice Of taking summary
vengeance on persons guilty of certain
forms of crime is increasing rather
than diminishing. The figures for the
twelve months beginning Jan. l, l9oo'
are larger than for several years past.
Though the most Of the ~lynch1ngs oc-
Cured in the South, they were not n
fined to that section by any means.
Springfield, ILL.,, was the scene OF
the greatest race riot Of the year., re-
sulting in the lynching Of two negroes
and the killing and wound1ng OF d
number Of citizens who participated IN
the riots that lasted several days. Of
the other Northern States, one lynch
ing is recorded for Indiana, While Gail
fornia furnished the only lynching In
the far West.
Mississippi, Georgia and Texas, in
the order named, furnished the great
est number. A quadruple lynch1ng IN
Kentucky increased the figures IN una
