Hawley's Majority 1874 in Idaho
County.


The county board completed the
canvass of the votes cast at the late
general election, Friday Of last week
and no material changes were made.
Hawley' majority is 154 and Frank
Moore. the only other democrat on

The race for probate judge was
close, but De Haven wins by the

from that of two years ago. How
ever, as close to a fourth of the voters
did not come to the polls, the pro-

actually gained since the last election.
Five of the constitutional amend
ments carried, the one authorizing the
state legislature to issue bonds for
the completion Of the capitol building
was defeated by handsome majority.
Following is the vote of the three

Ink at 500 a Pound.

1.-THE best India ink-it should really
he called China ink-never leaves Chi
ma" said a missionary. at costs $1O0
a pound, and the scribes use it in writ
ing the correspondence of the royal
family and the mandarins. India ink
is made of the oil of poisonous seeds
of the sesamum or COLA tree. Varnish
and pork fat are added to the oil, and
then, by means of combustion. all is
changed to lampblack. The lampblack
paste mixed with glue is beaten for
days on an anvil, and musk is gradu-
ally mixed in to give perfume and the
purest gold leaf to give a rich luster
Finally the ink is dried in molds for
about a month. What makes the best
India ink so costly is it's purity and
above all, the long time given to its
combustion and subsequent beating
If you saw its beauty you wouldn't
think it dear at $1O0 a pound "-Phila-
delphia Bulletin.

Gettinn Away From Land.

The question has been asked. Is 1t
possible to sail 1000 miles from land?
This can hp done at several points.
BY leaving San Francisco and sail
ing northwestward into the north
Pacific Il spot is reached Where there
Is no land. not even IN isle. for 1000
miles in any direction. SO. too, sail
ing from the southern point of Kan
chatka southeastward ships reach a
point equally distant from land of
any kind, the nearest to the north
being the Aleutian islands and to the
south the outlying members Of the
Sandwich group. In the southern
Indian ocean 1t is possible to sail
1000 miles out from the southern
points of Australia and New Zealand
and still be as far from any other
land. and the same may be done In
westerly direction from Cape Horn.
Indeed, from this point much longer
distance might be reached, for the
southern Pacific between the Horn
and New Zealand covers a space of
80 degrees of longitude and 40 of lati-
tude of absolutely unbroken sea- max
ing its central point over 1.2OO miles
from anywhere.

Trapping Balloons.

Hagenbeck in his book says that bab-
oons are caught in traps made much
like the huts OF savages. Food is put
into the huts, and once the baboonS so
inside a trapdoor closes behind them.
Outside baboons make great to do
and urge the prisoners to escape.
When the trappers come the captured
balloons are terror stricken and try to
force their heads through the walls of
the huts. One baboon was caught
three times in the same trap, and sew
eral when turned loose got back into
the same trap a second time. When
the baboons are carried away all their
comrades thereabout climb into trees
and scream out to the prisoners, who
answer in sad, mournful voices. On
one occasion some big Arabian bah
oons were trapped. when 1000 or 5000
balloons hurled themselves upon the
trappers, who had hard work to save
themselves with firearms and clubs.
AS the trappers were forced back the
victorious baboons tore up the trap
and turned loose the captured baboons.

The Tears In Books.

1t is not hard to understand why,
when a book makes you laugh, you
want to read it, and to read it over and
over again. But it is rather puzzling
to find that one also enjoys reading
and rereading books that make one
want to cry. What can there be in us
that likes to be made to feel unhappy?
In real life we don't try to do things
that will make us suffer-not at all!
But there are books that you cannot
think Of once you have read them
without tears coming to your eyes, and
yet you will find that you love those
books perhaps more than any others.
To feel deeply is one Of the best
things in life, and there maybe lies
the explanation of why we do love
BAD stories. They make us unhappy
in way, but they do not leave behind
any bitterness or sense Of personal
loss. And they usually have a special
beauty of their own.-St. Nicholas.

The White Shark.

The shark of sharks, the real man
eater" and the one most dreaded, is
the white shark. This variety reaches
a length of thirty-fve feet and
weight of 1000 pounds. Its head is
long and fiat, and the snout far over
hangs the mouth Its six rows of teeth
are sharp as lancets and notched like
saws. Its mouth is very large, so that
one has been known to cut n mans
body completely in two at single
snap of its cruel jaws and another to
swallow one at gulp. Near Calcutta
one of these sharks was seen to swal-
low a bullock's head, horns and all
From the stomach Of another bulls
hide was taken entire, and the sailor
who made the discovery insisted that
the bull had been swallowed whole
and all except the hide had been di-
gested. From the stomach of another
was taken Il ladys workboX filled with
the usual contents, scissors and all. 1t
is commonly the white shark which
follows the vessel at sea day after day
and week after week.

SOLVING A PROBLEM.
The Green Country Brakeman Who In
troduced tho "Saw BY"

! ne Green country brakeman VINO IN
troduced tho "Saw BY"
Many years ago green country boy
applied to the superintendent Of
western railway for work and, some
what against the superintendents
wish, on account Of the danger to life
and limb attendant upon such occupa-
tion, was given a place as brakeman
of freight train.
On one of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight
train at station where the sidetrack
was not long enough to accommodate
either Of them. The conductors were
debating which train should back up
to q point where they could pass when
the new hand ventured to suggest that
neither should back; that they could
pass each other by means of the short
sidetrack If the thing was managed
right.
The idea excited a good deal of
laughter on the part Of the old train
men, but the boy stood his ground.
"Well, how would you go about it,"
asked one of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against a stump.
The boy took up a stick and traced
in the sand n diagram to illustrate his
plan.
Good graciousr' said the conductor,
81 believe that will do it!'
And it did do it. Today every train
man in America probably knows how
to "saw by two long trains on a short
sidetrack, but it is not so generally
known that the thing was never done
until an inexperienced country boy
who became the manager of a great
railway line worked out the problem
for himself.

loyalty, enthusiasm, hard work, per
sistence and tact. You have much of
the first four and none of the last.

The Thirteener.

A nervous little man stepped briskly
into a Euclid avenue jewelry store
the other morning with a medium
sized clock under his wing, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. He placed
the chronometer on the counter, turn
ed the hands around to about one min
ute of II o'clock and told the expert
behind the counter to listen. at keeps
perfect time" the customer said, but
| want to find out if you notice any
thing wrong with the way it strikes"
The jeweler listened. There's moth
ing wrong" he replied, with a grin,
after the clock had struck, except
that she strikes thirteen instead of
twelve. That can easily be remedied."
The customer looked as relieved as if
he'd just awakened from n bad dream.
That's just what I've always thought
ever since we've had the clock" he
burst forth. I've always felt sure it
struck thirteen. But no one else in the
family ever spoke of it, and | was
afraid to say anything about it for
fear there was something wrong with
my own works. Well, it's worth the
price of having the thing repaired just
to find out l was right"
