Tea In Paraguay.

When the natives Of Paraguay drink
tea they do not pour it from q teapot
into q cup. but fill q goblet made out
Of pumpkin or gourd and then suck
up the hot liquid through a long reed.
Moreover. the tea which they use is
altogether different from that which
comes from China, being made out Of
dried and roasted leaves Of q palm.
like plant which grows in Paraguay
and southern Brazil. The natives say
that this tea is an excellent remedy
for fever and rheumatism.

County's Condition Improving

County Auditor L. E. Joseph has pre-.
pared brief financial exhibit showing
the condition of the finances OF Stevens
county at the close of business June 80,
1910. For the first time in the history
of the county there has been slight de-
crease in the indebtedness, there being
an outstanding warrant and bonded in
debtedness of 1888, 9s2 %, against $685.
$3.50 one year ago.
1t is shown that the county has re-
sources in the way OF cash Cd hand, un.
paid taxes, etc., to the amount of
$l36, 593 SO. leaving net indebtedness
of $147 1856. One year ago the net
indebtedness was $154.292.92. This Is
considered very favorable showing
when considered with the statement
that the expenses of the superior court
we're nearly $4,000 greater than year
ago and $500 in liquor license fees have
been returned to saloonkeepers whose
places were closed bv the local option
law.
Two ef the county offices. those of the
auditor and clerk, are q source of rev.
enue to the county. The auditors Office
has collected so, 209. 10 in fees at an ex-
pence for salaries and incidentals OF
1854 .46. leaving net profit to the
county of $4674.54. and the clerks Office
has collected $322i.7O in fees and their
expense for maintenance has been
$2S77 .35, leaving surplus OF $347 .35.
1t appears that nearly one-half of all
the taxes raised for county purposes
goes to maintain the public schools, they
receiving $lS2, 699.19 out of total dis
bursement OF $4U7 .597 .66.

Liberia.

Liberia shares with Haiti the dis
tinction Of being the only place In the
world where the negro rules not only
himself. but also such white men as
dwell there. Liberals history has
been one long record of intertribal and
civil wars, although its record in this
respect. it is only fair to say, is less
sanguinary than that Of Haiti In
fact. SO careful is the Liberian Of his
skin when fighting Is in progress that
it has become standing joke that
Liberian battlefield is the safest place
on earth and that to become a soldier
in Liberia is to embrace the least dan
gerous profession known to mankind.

A Swiss professor named Redorta

says. have broad feet, while those of
Englishwomen are too narrow to fulfill

women Of the Latin races, excluding
Frenchwomen. have the best formed

A City That Does Not Live Up to it,

The same manners and customs pre-.

a double bow, the smaller one affixed

tached to it by cord and struck by

The reis-i-shariat, or censor OF the

town, compelling the children to at
tend the schools and their parents the
mosques, inspecting the weights and
measures and keeping a watch over
the behavior of the community as a
whole When a tradesman is found
guilty Of cheating he is stripped bare
In the street, forced to his knees and
logged with stlrrup leather by one
Of the censor's attendants.
The world moves slowly in Bokhara.
The city gates still close with the set

streets with a lantern in his quest, un-

Forest Fires Continue to Destroy Timber

While but little has been heard from
forest fires the past week the fact re-
mains that there are numerous fires that
may at any time be famed by the pre-
vailing winds into menace to life and
property. With at least another month
of dry weather to be looked for the stu.
alton is regarded seriously by lum ber-
men and hie wardens, and every effort
is made to keep the fires in check, al
though it is almost futile to attem pit to
put them out. = :
About the largest fire in the country
is that in the territory west of Calispel
lake, which is largely in unsurveyed
townships. Accurate reports from the
fire are difficult to obtain, some reports
being to the effect that tie sweep of the
fire is from twelve to eighteen miles
long and several miles wide. In the un-
surveyed land there is not great body
Of valuable timber, but in the valleys
there is some good white pine. Owing
to the fact that the country is sparsely
settled and in remote location, it is
difficult to get means for fighting it when
there are so many other fires nearer
privately owned interests. Appeals to
the government land Office for help are
said to have been unheeded.
There have been several fires in the
vicinity Of Diamond lake, and between
the lake and Newport, but Indications are
that the damage done was not great.
There has been bad fire Just east of
Priest River, and on Tuesday the Great
Northern assembled section men from
along the line to help tight it. One
rancher lost his barn and outbuildings.
Wednesday evening a crew of thirteen
men was taken ul' from Spirit Lake to
help fight the fire, but they were re-
turned today, the local fire warden
claiming to have the fire in hand.
Up Carr creek, between LaClede and
Wrencoe, there has been considerable
loss OF good timber by the Dalkena and
Humbird lumber companies.
