ORE.. OCT. 20 1911 J It is probable that if boys could bump op their brains as tbey do ttieii biceps, and gay boastfully, says tbe Youtba Companion, "Feel of that, will you?" tbey would take much more kindly to mental training. Bat. tbe brain is shut away in a bony oase, where tbey cannot see it or tonob it, and there is no visible sign that it grows in strength and vigor. Boys too easily think of it as something Used and unalterable, too easily con clode that tbey are born either bright or dull and will continue either bright or dull to tbo end of tbe chapter. Arguing fr9"T, this premise, tbey are likely to decide tbat education is ao quiriog iuformation mostly infor mation wbioh a blight man does not need in order to get along, uud wbiob a dull man can make no use of iu eitbet oase superfluous. Tbe bruin should be tbougbt of as eometbing tbat can be as easily developed as the tioepH. It is important and advisable, of coarse to bavo supple, strong, quickly ronpoudiDg ruusoles wbiob will do rapidly and easily w'batevur you ask of them; but they cannot do their best work except under a good master and their maHter is tbo b'aiu. You cannot even play utblotio games well without a good btain. Imagine what tbo muscles of a man would bo who hud sat iu a obair tiuoo tbe age often. If you do not want your mind to be In an'aunlogous condition wbeu you aro a man, exercise it. November 1. Montana is getting in line with other Paciflo Northwest states for de velopment.

AO'cna, Otrgou They Are Very Minute and Resemble Herringbone Brickwork. In the ordinary acceptation of the term the eel is a scaleless fish. But it is due to the fact that its scales are very minute and imbedded In the skin. They form, as pointed out by a cor respondent, very interesting and beau tiful objects for the microscope. In size the scales of the eel vary from one twentieth of an Inch upward, accord ing to the ago of the fish. They are formed of two layers of a clear, horny substance, the upper of which Is studded with crystals of calcium car bonate. These are so transparent as to look like empty cells. The scales vary in shape from a Wutrt to an elongated oval and are sometimes al most kidney shaped. This is how the scales of the eel tell Its age. On each may be observed at Intervals several more or lens clearly marked linos parallel to the margin. These mark lines of growth, one for each year of the life of the fish. Three yeflra, however, must be allowed for the innermost ring, as the eel has no scales until the third year. The .scales lo not overlap to any extent and are arranged In series of small groups at right angles to each other, so as to resemble what is known as herring bone brickwork. Conger eels, how ever, are said to have no scales. Lon don Field. BALKED THE BURGLAR. It May or May Not Have Been a Low Down Game, but It Won. The man with his coat collar turned up and his derby pitched down over his eyes who was slouching along in the shadow of the building suddenly beckoned to tho man on the other side of tho street. "Here's an easy one, rete," he growled hoarsely. "Where's an easy one?" snarled rete. "This here house. It's like taking gum from a stenographer that's fixiri' her hair. Some chump has gone away an' left his latch key In this door." Fete took a swift look at (he house and began to back up. "You can go to it," ho said. "I don't want to butt In on it." "Are youso nutty?" "Naw, I ain't nutty. Rut do feller wot lives dere Is a low down sneak wklout no feelin' for nobody, an' I don't want nothlrr' ter do with 'im.

A true happening which has been made the subject of a cartoon occurred at a fashionable golf club near Lon don. A young man interested in golf solely for the sake of the social at mosphere one day decided to play a round. So he sauntered leisurely down to the caddy house, where ha met a certain peppery lord. Not know ing tho gentleman and barely looking at him, the somewhat foppish youth asked, "Are you the caddy master here?" Without an Instant's hesita tion Lord replied, "No, I am not, but I happen to know that he is not in need of any caddies this afternoon." It was some time before either recov ered. Boston Transcript.

In most accounts of snake charming in India the snake stone plays an im portant part When the charmer Is bit ten the stone is applied to the bite and is supposed to aid In his recovery. Writing in the London Field, Lieuten ant L. Mackenzie gives some notes on two of these stones, which he had the opportunity of seeing. They were trl angular In shape, flat and rounded, with smooth polished black surfaces. They are said to come from the hills of Tibet and to be the solidifled saliva of the markhor. This animal Is spoken of In Lieutenant Mackenzie's note as the "Persian snake eater." Its saliva Is thought to contain an antidote to snake poison. The markhor is a spe cies of wild goat found In India, Tibet and Kashmir. Notice to Creditors. In the Mailer of the Estate of A. J.
