A New Animal.

A gigantic carnivorous mammal,
hitherto unknown, was discovered re.
Gently in Dutch New Guinea. This
animal. found and named by English
naturalists in the course Of coast ex.
plorations, lives at an altitude of $50
yards in a place Inhabited by tribe
of black dwarfs. The gazeka. as this
beast is known. is striped like zebra,
but its aspect is ferocious. The ani.
NAL is like tapir, and is Of species
supposed to have died out thousands
OF years ago. It's protruding teeth give
It an appearance OF extreme cruelty.

The consumer in this country not only
pays the tariff, but he pays in many other
ways where he gets the worst of it.
Take, for instance, the buying of ar
ticles where a fraction of cent comes in.
The American housewife in this era Of
high prices is often forced to buy in small
lots. She goes to market and purchases,
say, a half-dozen eggs, at 35 cents per
dozen, but there being no half-pennies,
must tender Is cents. In the same way
she expends 13 cents for half dozen or
anges instead of 1912 cents.

The Snow Blanket.

The value of q mantle of snow in
projecting the vegetation in the fields
10 winter is fully understood In farm
ing districts, and the cause Of the pro-
tective effect of the snow has been the
subject of scientific inquiry In Ger.
many. In that country the observa.
tions on the thermal properties of snow
have disclosed the fact that the looser
the snow, the greater its power to pro-
tect the ground beneath from the ef-
fects of external changes of tempera-
ture. Snow generally offers about
four times as much resistance to each
change as q sheet of ice OF the same
thickness offers. When snow becomes
closely packed, therefore, it is less
as a protection to plant life
than when it lies loosely upon the
surface.
Other experiments have shown that
while q blanket of snow protects the
ground beneath from the chilling ef-
fects Of the winter atmosphere, yet the
surface of the snow itself, especially
in clear weather, is colder than the
air, so that snow tends to lower the
temper ature of the atmosphere, and
where broad areas Of the country, or
extensive mountain slopes, are cover.
ed by it, important climatic conditions
may be produced by the influence Of
the snow.

WHO WILL MAKE GOOD?

The news received from Helena, in
regard to the disappearance of a large
amount Of money from the estray
stock fund, is not pleasant reading
for the Montana public. To the live.
stock interests, especially, some fea.
lures of the flair are offensive and
reflect severely upon public officials
who have violated the prophecies and
disregarded their plain duty In the
matter.
The money appropriated by the dis.
honest clerk belonged to Montana
stockmen, and was held in trust for
them by . public official employed for
that purpose. One OF the subordinstes
employed by that official stole q large
amount Of these trust funds, and q
feature Of the scandal that is of great
interest at the present time is the ques.
ton 90 to who will make good the
shortage.
For several years there were com.
plants regarding the conduct OF sf.

ing from the secretary, O was there
legal provision for any check upon
the transactions in his Office, and mat
ters generally were in such unsatis-
factory shape that mistrust and sus.
picion among Montana stockmen fin
ally resulted in a demand that the
management be placed upon a
business-like footing. The books were
given q superficial inspection by the
state examiner, who pronounced them
all right, aud the legislative assembly
proceeded to make the s~ecretaryship
q public Office with prescribed duties
and e%moluments and subject TO regula-
tions similar to those that usually ap.
ply in such cases.
According to recent advices from
Helena, the several parties who were
more or less remotely connected with
the affair dlsclaim responsibility for
the loss of estrsy funds. Checks we're
issued to certain stockmen who had
proved their ownership of estrays for
which returns had been received.
These checks were appropriated by a
dishonest clerk, forged signatures en-
dorsed and the checks cashed by him.
The banks that cashed the checks de.
clare they acted in good faith, and
that their responsibility ceased when
the returned vouchers were accepted at
the Office of the secretary. In the
meantime, the rightful owner has not
received the estray money due him.
Who will make good?

ces under which the offending clerk
was allowed to plead guilty to n out

ings and demand that exact justice be
done to all parties concerned. There
should be no desire to persecute an
unfortun ate young man who has gone
wrong, but the scandalous haste with
which the matter has been handled
and the apparent desire to cover up
the extent of the shortage do not ap.
peal to Montana stockmen as just to
them. As the owners of the missing
money they are entitled to q square
deal, and above all other features OF
the case, they want to know who will
make good.

THE GIFT OF CAB.
Why Stephenson Thought There Was
No Power Equal to IL.


When George Stephenson was visit
ing the seat Of Sir Robert Peel ut
Drayton on one occasion, saws the
writer of Famous British Engineers"
there happened to be present DR..
auckland, the scientist, and Sir Will
liam Follett, the famous advocate.
Stephenson discussed with DR.. Buck
land II of his favorite theories as to
the formation Of coal and. though I'M
~doubtedly in the right, was ultimately
vanquished by the arguments and ora
tory of the doctor. who was a better
master Of tongue fence than himself.
Next morning while bordering over bis
defeat in the solitude of the garden he
was accosted by Sir William Follett
and confided to that gentleman the
story Of his failure.
Sir William, acquainted with the de-
tails Of the matter in dispute, agreed
to take up the case and soon after
ward attacked DIR. auckland on the
subject. a long discussion ensued, in
which the man of law completely ST.
fenced the man Of science. who was
at last compelled to own himself van
pushed. Sir Robert Peel, highly
amused at this example Of "tit for
tat" then turned to the inventor and
inquired, with a laugh:
And what do you say on this mat
ter, Mr.. Stephenson:'
"Why," he replied. 81 will only say
this-that Of all the powers above and
under the earth there seems to me no
power equal to the gift Of the gab."

QUAINT EPITAPHS.
Gems From Ancient Graveyards In
Suffolk, England.

Gems From Ancient ~Graveyards In
Suffolk, England.
The Suffolk H.ngland) Institute of
Archaeology has been collecting cpl
taphs from the ancient graveyards
throughout the shire. and several of
the most curious are here printed. One
shows traces OF a pessimistic philoso-
ply surprising when we consider the
strong orthodoxy Of the day when the
epitaph was written:
Beneath this stone lies Catherine Gray,
Changed to a lifeless lump OF clay.
By earth and clay she got her pelf,
And now she's turned to clay herself.
Who knows but in the course OF years
In some tall pitcher or brown pan
She in her shop may stand again.
Another from Suffolk reads as fol-
lows:
Here lies Robert Wallas,
The King of Good Fellows,
Clerk Of All Hallows
And maker Of bellows.
These which follow could scarcely be
lines chosen by the reverend occupant
Of the tomb himself. a clergyman
named Chest:
Here lies at rest, I do protest,
One Chest within another.
The chest Of wood was very good.
Who Gays so Of the other?
And, to conclude, here is a bit of phi
losophy that cannot be improved by
any Of the great thinkers Of all time:
Here l lie outside the chancel door:
Here l lie because I'm poor.
The further in the more they pay.
But here l lie as warm as they.

Carpets and Ruus.

Carpets and rugs were originally en-
ployed by oriental nations for sitting.
reclining and ~kneeling purposes during
devotion. When introduced among
the western peoples they were for a
long tiaae used for purely ornamental
purposes. covers for tables or couches
and for laying before affairs or chairs
of state upon great occasions. Carpets
were brought to Europe by the Moors,
but 1t was well into the eighteenth
century before they came into any
thing like general use.
