number of packages that were being

nothing but these packages, and some
times three and four such cars, were

frequently saw long lines of post-otfce

and | began to investigate.
AT my clearinghouse in central
Germany | asked my landlady where
she got her butter, which was of ex-
cellent quality. She told me it came
from Holstein in the northwestern
part of Germany, two hundred miles
away. l asked if it was not expensive

said, we have it come by post and

to cover up the cement in case of a
sudden shower. Always buy from the

it is as hard as a rock; do not use it
under any circumstances. However,
do not mistake humps caused by pres

Geological Survey OF Idaho.
(From Idaho Country Life
HAS A. STEWART, Geolo gisf

CHAs. A. STEWART, GeologiSf
Much interest is being aroused
among both mining men and agricul-
turists by the rumors of the early or
ganization of State Geological Sur
yey in Idaho. 1t would be the duty OF
this survey to make maps showing the
distribution of the soils, mineral pro-
ducts and artesian waters of the state,
and to answer questions concerning
them. Deep-well driving is an u7cer-
tain undertaking in many parts OF the
state at the present time, for there are
no data on the depth of the water
bearing rock, and this varies from
place to place. A careful study OF the
geology of the state would make it
possible to predict the depth at which
artesian water is likely to be found.
Although Idaho shows great evidences
of mineral wealth, and is rightly SON
sidercd one of the important mining
states, it has comparatively few pro-
ducing mines. This is largely because
no adequate attempt has been made to
bring its mineral resources before the
public. A publication that bore the
name of a State Geological Survey,
and that described scientifically the
mineral possibilities of the state would
attract outside capital and bring re
newed life to the mining industry.
And a live mining industry means new
raiasads and consequent opening OF
nov inaccessible territory.

| PARIS, May 8.-The Paris Morgue,
somber and low, Sinking in the shad-
ows of Notre Dame, is soon to disap-
pear forever and in it's place, in an
other part of town, Medico-Legal in
stitute, light, airy and almost gay, will
be inaugurated
No institution in Paris fires the i'm
agination quite so much as the morgue.
The morgue! The very name is sug-
gestive of mysteries and crimes and
suicides, of cadavers fished out of
the Seine. 1t is the meeting place of
nondescript corpses, the secret manor
house of the crime-taken, the drowned,
the victims of hazard; it is the rem
dezous of the anonymous dead.
And it is going. Not much longer
will the squat little building remain
perched at the top of the wall at the
extreme eastern end of the Isle &c la
Cite, in it's tiny windows on one side
giving upon the river Seine and from
which to the water there is a sheer
drop Of 40 feet. | paid the morgue
sick-call, so to speak, and found the
?isit very much worth while.
1t is much easier for the dead to
enter this little building than for the
living. One must have card from
the project OF police, otherwise one
doesn't get in. M. Laurent, general
secretary at the prefecture, clipping off
red tape by the mile, provided me with
the necessary pass and soon NJ. Pierre,
one of the morgue's night guardians,
was looking the paper over. His ruduy
face spoke eloquently of his love of
life and red wine; presently he smiled,
showing he was good-natured land in
as did subsequent remarks-that he
was like philosopher (Parenthetical-
iy I've seen many morgue-keepers and
they are mostly all Pierres. They
probably have to be. A neurasthenic
guardian would soon be listed sui

steamer Ciervana, belonging to the
port of Bilbao, captured a honing
pigeon at sea- The latter bore on both

of a popular peer.
The letter which are distinctly OF
an affectionate nature, are signed by
an officer in the British navy engaged
on maneuvers. ~ SIX .
The writer states that he is discon-

in the pigeons arrival.

PECK'S BAD BOY
TO FLAMES

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-Peck's
Bad Boy, member of the registering
juvenile clan Of Huckleberry Kim
Tom Sawyer and other youngsters gen
orally listed among the American i'm
mortals, was consigned TO a funeral
pyre last night by band of his former
friends who have come under the in
fluences of Mrs. Ella Sterling Mighels,
poetess with a mission.
Every since her divorce from her
husband, the novelist, Mrs. Mighels,
has devoted her time to censoring the
hooks that fall into the hands of boys
and girls.
Peck's Bay Boy finally fell under
her ban, and she decided to consgn
him to the flames when the annual fire
Of the Arkadian Brothers and Sisters
of California was kindled last night
The funeral pyre Of the former hero
cast its glow for block of more each
side of the home of Mrs. Mighels at
1907 Baker street. The boys and girls
of the circle controlled by Mrs. Iig-
hels sat on the case of the sacrificed
one, but they finally agreed with their
preceptress that he was very I'M
desirable sort of person.
So the flames cracked up around
Pecks Bad Boy and other tabooed
books that made fuel for the bonfire.
A curious gathering of old and young
was attracted to the fire.
