InsanItx Not Inherited.

Most persons think that insanity
 may be directly inherited" says
 Homer Folks in the State Charities
 Bulletin. This belief is undoubted-
 ly wrong. One may inherit a greater or less tendency toward insanity.
 Mental instability may be inherited,
 just as weak constitutions may be inherited. Those who have reason
 to believe that some of their ances- tors suffered from mental troubles need not be unduly alarmed, for this fact does not make it certain that they will suffer likewise. These ten dencies toward insanity may lie dor mant during the whole lives of the in- dividuals. But such persons should take the proper precautions to pre- vent the development of this tenden- cy. As weak constitution may be built up by healthy habits, so may mental instability be made stable by good mental and physical habits. The individual whose family has had men, tai trouble may often escape the dis ease by proper surroundings, health ful and temperate activities, and proper mental and physical habits. The most important fact in heredity Is that the vast majority of ancestors of every individual were normal. Heredity tends, therefore, rather more strongly toward health than disease.

Steel RTrd,a Nest

In the Museum of Natural History at Soleure, in Switzerland. there is said to be birds nest made entirely of steel. There are a number of clock-making shops at Soleure, and in the yards of these shops there are often found lying disused or broken springs of clocks. One day a clock maker noticed in a tree in his yard a birds nest of peculiar appearance. Examining it, he found that a pair of wagtails had built a nest entirely of clock springs It was more than four inches across and perfectly comfort able for the birds.

Some large bas-reliefs dating from the Stone Age have just been dis covered at Lanosel. in the French prov Ince of Dordogne. They are sculp- tured on the rock of a shallow grot- to, and solely represent animals. It is thought that the primitive sculptors probably refrained from introducing the human figure in art by a tabu similar to the present Mohametan tabu on such representation. The animals shown in the reliefs are rein deer, oxen, bisons, and huge horse of prehistoric dimensions.

Railway Fares

The cheapest country for railway travelling is Belgium, taking speed and accommodation into considera- ton. Fares in Russia are a shade lower than in Belgium, but the trains are so slow and the third-class car riages so objectionable that travelling there may well be considered dearer. Next in cheapness comes Germany, and then France and Italy. In Eng land the rates are much dearer than Nn the last two countries.

HOUN' DAWC man
Drives Into Town and Warns
People Not to Kick.
Lige Spencer Declares Animal
Inspired the Song.

Walsenburg, Colo, March 4.-'I'm it
the original 'Houn Dawg' man. I
writ it an I'm runnin' away"
Yelping like Piute Indian on the
war trail, Lige Spencer of Ozark
county, Missouri, swung his team of
mules off the Santa Fe trail into the
main street of Walsenburg today and
pulled up before the Greenlight saloon
with the announcement that he was
the "poet of the Ozarks,'' and the man
who wrote the famous 'Dawg song"
A piebaId coon dog had ambled into
town ahead of Spencer and his team
and went to sleep in the roadway in
front of the mules almost as soon as
the team came to stop.
'"That dawg," and Lige pointed at
the sleeping hound as he unfolded his
six feet two of body to get down from
his wagon seat-''that dawg was the
inspiration of the most famous song
that ever was writ, and, further, he
is the best coon dawg that ever chased
a ringtaiI into a scrub oak. And still
further, 1 can lick, outrun or out
jump or outwrest1e any man who
starts to kickin' him.
No one seemed inclined to take up
Spencer's challenge, and after Spen-
Ger had taken on a half dozen drinks,
urged upon him by admirers of the fa-
nous Missouri song, he climbed into
his wagon seat, cracked his whip and
his mules and the pieba1d hound dis
in the direction opposite
from which they entered town.

FIGHT ON A RANCH.
American Cowboys and Mexican Reb-
els Clash in Mexico.

Ell Paso, March 4.-CoIonel E T.
Steever today dispatched Lieutenant
Hill of the Twenty-second infantry and
squad of soldiers to Columbus, n. NJ
to Investigate a report that American
cowboys and Mexican rebels clashed
on Saturday at Rancho Las Palomas
thirty miles from Columbus on the
Mexican side.
According to the report which was
transmitted to Colonel Steever for in
vestigation by the customs officers, the
horses of the Americans were killed
and they retreated on foot to Column
bus, after killing or wounding several
of the Mexicans.
Americans and English Own Ranch.
FL Paso, March 4.-CattIemen who
passed through Columbus on their way
to the cattlemen's convention today
state that Rancho Las Palomas is
owned by Americans and Englishmen,
and that the Americans in the report
ed tight were employed on the ranch.
According to this source of informa-
ton the Americans resisted when the
Mexicans tried to commander horses
from the ranch.
The cowboys mounts were killed
and they retreated to the ranch house
where they resisted until the marau-
ders rode away.
They were exhausted when they
reached Columbus and talked little but
before turning in for much needed
sleep they said that they saw seven
Mexicans fall and they they believed
four of them were killed
