The Delamar Mining Company is threatened with an apex suit that may become historical In the history of nun' ing litigation in Idaho.

This verdict Indicates the jury accepted the theory that boys poured gunpowder into the mortars before the latter were loaded. A discovery made at Vancouver, B. 0., by the legal fraternity has bad rather a startling effect. On October 1 the act of the Legislature setting apart the new Vancouver judicial district came into force. It provided that when it came into force the bheritr of the .New V est minister district should have the power to serve the processes then in his hands, and that his jurisdiction should then cease. It was expected that as soon as the new act came into force W. 8. Pat terson, who has been acting as Sheriff Armstrong's deputy there for four years, would be appointed Sheriff for the new district, but no appointment was made, and now, by the declaration of the act, all work done within the confines ot the new Vancouver district since October 1 by Sheriff Armstrong of the old West minister district, which embraced Van couver, la illegal. The effect of this will be far-reaching, and no end of legal muddle will be the inevitable result. ' EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

It may be set down as a siund prind. pie that any drug capable of preventini the fermentation of milk is nnsale to take into the human stomtu-h as " steady diet." Some of the most emi nent chemists in this country have testi fied that the noe of such drugs is detri mental to the public health. And yet we fear that the me of them is consiiier able, the temptation being great and tli knowledge of their deleterious eilecta not being so general as it should be. Steps have been taken in England to make the subject familiar to the publ 0 in a very forcible way. A milk dealer in London was recently prosecuted fur selling milk containing a preservative drng. The official analyst, Dr. ltiiie.nl being called to the witness box, testified that the preservative used was a drag not a food, and that it was used by med ical men as a drug for special cases. It had, he said, an injurious eflect upon the kidneys by producing a secretion of al bumen, and there was abundant evi dence to show that it was very injurious to infants. The smallest quantity, he added, would render the milk injurious. The result of the trial was that the of fending milkman was fined about 3 and costs, although he pleaded ignorance of its presence in the milk and expressed bimeolf as sorry that he had failed to obtain a written guaranty of the purity of the milk before purchas ng it. This did not, however, soften the heart of the Judge, who remarked that, while sorry for the defendant, he was a good deal more sorry for those who bad drunk the adulterated milk. It appeared in the course of the trial that the preservative was being used ex tensively in milk and butter, and the London authorities have determined to proceed against all under the "sale of food and drugs act." The excellent Hairy World of Chicngo, which Is vigorously waging war npon all sliams and wrongdoing in dairy business, especially that colossal wrong, the oleo margarine fraud, remarks that it would like to see some of the British article of prosecution initiated on this side of the Atlantic. We heartily second this wieb, for we are inclined to think that it ia very much needed. There is nothing that ought to be more carefully guarded against than the adulteration of milk, which is so largely the food of infanta and invalids. Poultry for the Farm. Now and then you meet a man, says the Farm, Field and Stockman, who thinks one breed of fowls is as good si another, or that a hen is a hen, no mat ter what breed or whether her breed is of its own production by inbreeding year after year. Here is a letter to an East ern paper from a man in Tennessee, who believes in mixing breeds ; but he seei to it that the mixing is done by pars cockerels, and by this means he will have high-bred if not pure-bred fowls. He says: " I have often been amused at the way some writers advocate the merits of tone particular breed of fowls to the exclu sion of all others. Now, after long ex perience with all the leading breeds, I have given up the idea that pure-breed poultry is the moat profitable on the farm for many reasons. Experience teaches me that the best breed for tbe farm is the one that is most profitable) under all circumstances none of your fancy breeds, but a happy medium. In other words, for a breed of your own 'get up' take tbe common fowls, ion can breed them np to any desired qual ity you wish. While they will not be pure, they will be far more healthy, more profitable and just as handsome. ' " It is interesting to note the peculiar characteristics they will develop. I wish you could see and hear my flock of bid dies. I would not exchange them for any pure breed I know of. There are so many different strains of blood in their little bodies that they cannot be still; must be laying eggs or hatching more little busybodies at all times, except when changing? their coats of many col ors. The way I accomplished it a as this: 1 commenced with twenty common nens and a pure game cockerel. I changed the cockerel evnrv vear. and the breed every two years ; that is, I got pure-bred cockerels of a different breed from any that I have had every two years. I treat turkeys in the way."
