DEMAND FOR HAY SHOVES PRICE

The increase in the dairy herds in
the Palouse country, coupled with the

the price of hay up to a figue con-
siderably above normal, with the sup
ply somewhat limited Baled alfalfa
is now selling at $21 on the local
market and timothy from one to two
dollars more. There is still some hay
on the upper Palouse, in Latah coun-
ty and some over in the Viola district,
but most of the farmers in the Mos
COW district have fedup their supply.
Dealers have been shipping in more
or less hay from south Idaho and
from the Yakima valley to supply the
local demand. Most of the hay
shipped in is alfalfa

ARE UNTOLD CENTURIES OLD
interesting Speculation as to What
Really Are the Most Ancient
Things on Earth.

Writing Of the oldest thing in the
world, an BAglish antiquarian says: II
would say that from a geological point
Of view the igneous or fire-fused rocks
composing the mountain ranges Of
Norway and Scotland easily hold the
first place, as being among the Oldest
matter on the surface Of the globe, dat
ing considerably before the rock
masses which went to build up the
lofty mountain chains Of the Alps,
Andes and Hlmalayas. Specimens Of
such rocks may be seen in the excel
lent museum Of mineralogy in Jermyn
street. Froma biological standpoint
the remains Of primitive seaweeds and
shellfish, preserved as fossils In the
early stratified rocks. represent the
most ancient forms Of life ON earth.
These are to be seen in the British
museum. Lastly, the most venerable
remains of human agency are repre-
sented by the stone Implements Of pre-
historic man, first discovered and rec
ognized as such by the famous French
savant, Boucher de PertheS, In the
river-drifts and gravels Of the Somme.

tools are on view In almost every

Apes Show Ingenuity.

Indiscriminate feeding Is bad for
apes. and In South Africa specimens are
kept behind double bars, as much out
of harms way as possible. But people
insist on trying to feed them, and a
large number of nuts fall in front of
the cages, apparently out of reach of
the animals. One day chimpanzee
passed his blanket through the bars.
threw 1t on the nuts. and dragged them
in. The blanket was taken away from
him. and stick given, with which also
he got the nuts by sweeping them to-
ward the cage.
One orang-Outang went step fur
Their than this. There were palms in
the ape-hOuse, and the orang-outang
used strip Of blanket to get these
leaves. When the palms were put far
Their away, the ape tore the strip of
blanket down the middle-almost, but
not quite In two-so that 1t was near
ly twice as long. With this he could
reach the palm leaves again.

RED MEN AS WOOD cARvERs
Many Of the American Aborlelnes
Were Experts, 40 Specimens still
In Existence Show.

Il has been pointed out that the
chief reminder Of our aboriginal life Is
the woodwork and bone carving Of the
Indians Of the Pacific Northwest.
While the cities Of that region are en-
terprising and important centers OF In
dustry, and while the Inhabitants Of
many Indian reservations have adopt
ed the latest farming methods and
have become prosperous agriculturists,
there remain some primitive workers
whose wooden products have the same
quaint appearance as those Of their
ancestors generations and generations
ago.
When they possessed no better tools
than stone axes and bone handled Inn
plements, before the white man had
brought his iron instruments to this
country, these Indians were experts at
their chosen profession. With their
crude implements they cut plankS four
feet wide by ten feet long from tree.
Many specimens Of their carving in
wood. bone and ivory, preserved now
In museums, show considerable skill.
Their canoes, hewn from single log,
were so feet In length, as rule, and
caused great establishment among the
first Europeans that came to this coun-
try. !.

Use Of BIottInq Paper.

According to the Encyclopedia Bril-
tannica, plotting paper is Of early
date, being mentioned under the date
1895. 1t was a coarse, gray, unsized
paper. fragments Of which have been
found among the leaves Of Fifteenth
century accounts where 1t had been
left after being used for plotting.
Early In the Sixteenth century blot
ting paper must have been In ordinary
use, for it is referred to in W. Hor-
mans "Vulgaria" dated 1879 as fol-
lows: "Blotting paper serveth to dry
wet writing, lest there be made blots
or burrs." The same authority states
It Is remarkable that, in spite Of the
comparatively early date Of this In
vention, sand continued generally In
use. and even at the present day con-
tinues in several countries In fairly
common use as an ink absorbent.
There appears to be no record as to
who first used blotters.

PUT STUART IN FIRST PLACE
AZ Portrait Painter, Critics Accord
Him Highest Rank In the List OF
American Artists.

First among American portrait paint
ers, Gilbert Stuart holds a secure
place In the history Of our native art;
his fame is assured, Notwithstanding
the wave Of ultra-modernism sweep
ing the land. The radicals may come
and go and have their vogue, but Gil
bert Stuart gave grace and dignity to
American art and. like the Sphinx, re-
mains impassive. He fills a certain
niche In the realm Of art, and his por-
traits Of early Americans are not only
admirable for their character and
beauty, but historic. Nearly all Of the
large art museums Of America, state
capitols and other public institutions
possess portraits by Stuart. Through
out New England, here and there in
the quaint old homesteads among the
hills are portraits Of our forefathers
painted by this masters facile brush.
They are cherished heirlooms Of
colonial days, when America was striv-
ing for liberty under the guidance Of
George Washington.
Gilbert Stuart was the historic
painter Of this period, and to have
portrait painted by him was consid-
cred high distinction. Almost everyone
knows that Stuart was by birth New
Englander, but 1t may not be generally
known that his birthplace exists today
in a picturesque nook Of Rhode Island
near the summer colonies Of Newport
and Narragansett Pier.-From Arts

DEITY STANDS FOR JUSTICE
Chinese God Long Highly venerated
for Mission Which II ls Sup :
posed to Have.

A god, said to be 300 years old,
which has changed its place Of resi-
dence on number Of occasions and
still retains its original dignity and
appearance, attracts the attention Of
persons who attend the sessions Of the
Mixed Court In Shanghai, China.
About twenty years ago the god was
transferred to his present position
from the Marking Road temple. He
is known as the Tu De Shun (the God
Of Earth) and Is guarded by nine
smaller Images.
In the olden times the yamen run
ners took the place of the present-day
court officials and detectives. 1t was
their duty to serve warrants and
summonses as well as to arrest rob-
bers, murderers and criminals. Be
fore they went out on their mission,
they were sure to PROSTATE them
selves before Tu De Shun and ask for
his blessing and aid in securing sue
cess. Whenever they succeeded in
their missions and returned to the va
men they offered their thanks.
Tu De Shun sits facing the court
rooms, because, it is said. he wishes
to see justice properly meted out. He
will frown whenever there Is an In
justice done to anybody. Litigants
make their offerings to the god and
may be seen at various times asking
Tu De Shun to give them the power
TO win the lawsuits in which they are
involved. When magistrate as
sumed office in the olden days he al
ways prayed to this god for assist
ance before he dared take over the
Office.

MATERNAL. IMPRESSIONS


ON the child of maternal impress
sions" until the latter part of the
waiting period.
The harm which mother may do to
her child is the result Of her failure to
live her own life in a way that will re-
suit in the highest degree Of health and
happiness for herself and, therefore, for
the child.
THE child, before its birth, is entirely
dependent for It's development upon
the nutrition which it extracts from the
blood of the mother, and it is only
through nutrition that the mother is
able to influence her child's future. If
she lives in such manner as. to con-
serve her own health, taking plenty Of
sleep and exercise, and eating sensibly
of simple food, she can be quite sure
that her child will be able to build up
for itself sound body and brain.
On the other hand, if she neglects
these plain rulessof health and goes
through the waiting period fretfully,
full of apprehension or lamenting her
condition and paying but little atten-
ton to her own bodily functions. it is
quite possible that the child may be de-
prived Of some of the nutrition 1t needs
for its own best development.
Many malnutritic fretful babies do
not get the right sort of nutrition dur
ing the prenatal period, and doubtless
many early infant deaths are traceable
to these causes.
