Jones was up from Swan town ship the last of the week seeking con solation fiom his democratic anti pop ocratic friends on the result of election. “Dug” says the “consolation” tendered him was not of a very consoling brand, but was probably the best on tap.

Quail bunting still goes on to some extent, the expiration » of the killing limit to the contrary not with standing. Quails, from January till November, are not legally huntable. But of coarse when the boys are hunting for mbits it is a strong temptation to let drive at whatever jumps up whether quail or otherwise. About the only way the gainq laws will be obeyed is to extinguish the game. The Frontier has been awarded the contract for furnishing the county officer* with stanionery the coming year. The Omaha Printing company will supply the blanks and the State Journal the blank books. This is the Brst time in ten years The Frontier se cured a contract from the county and the bidding was close this time, there being but about $6 difference between us and the Independent. Word comes from the Wyoming ranges that a deadly disease has broken out among cattle. In many respects it resembles human diptheria and it is nearly always fatal. The throat swells up and mucus forms, which usually re sults in strangulation. It is believed by the state veterinarian that tbe disease was started by tbe warm days and cold nights. The disease is being watched very close, but it is believed that it will be difficult to stop. It is hoped that cold weather will stop its spreading. A poultry itetn: it has been estimated that there are about three hundred and flftv million hens in the United States. During the year 1900 they produced ap* proximately fourteen billion eggs, which represent in the neighborhood of $175, 000.000. That seems a lot of money, bin just wait a minute. The living val tie of bens at 30 cents apiece is not far from *100,000.000. besides which about *130,000,000 worth of poultry is eaten in tt>is country in the course of a year. So vou see the ben, while a humble bird cuts quite a figure in the financial world. Ano'ent Archives. While repairing the tower of an old church at Cassonay, near Lausanne, a workman found a casket in a secret compartment which contaned manu scripts dating as far back as 1435. Two of the manuscripts are written in Latin and refer to the Burgundian wars then raging in Switzerland. The other manuscripts are written in French and bear the date of 1703.

Gay, Williams, Brever and Hbakespear. Beats uow on sale at usual plaoe. Things Which X-Ray Cannot See. There are many curious things about X-raya which seem to puzzle even the scientists. Signor Brlguitl, who has been making experiments with them at Rome, says that the visibility of a sub stance to the eye la no criterion of its visibility to the X-rays. The rays can not see through glass, which is trans parent to the eye, whereas aluminum, which is opaque to the eye, is trans parent to the X-rays. The rays can see a splinter of glass in the hand, but not a splinter of od. Most inkB are transparent to the X-rays, including printer’s ink, but some of them are opaque. The raye can see through a postoffice directory, but if a paper with wordB written on it be put in the mid dle of the directory the rays will re-, veal these words and nothing behind Jthem.

A rather peculiar fatality occurred the other day at Lamlash in the island of Arran, where the reserve squadron was stationed for a week. A torpedo was lost from the battleship Howe in about twenty fathoms of water, and a diver was sent down to search for it On his return to the surface he war apparently well, but he suddenly be came ill and died within an hour. A post mortem examination disclosed the fact that death had been due to a very rare ailment known In the medical profession as caisson disease or diver’s paralysis, which only occurs when the pressure under which a diver works Ir more than three atmospheres and gen erally follows a rapid rise to the sur face. There were bubbles of gas In the blood vessels, heart and brain tissue.— Robert MacIntyre, in Chicago Record Don’t let tbe hand of time paint wrin kles on your face.
