Our new established trade routes cover the whole world, writes C. H Claudy, in the Scientific American Thus there are 47 steamers sailing to | the Argentine and they sail from New York, Boston, Mobile, New Orleans, | Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah Brunswick and Jacksonville. ‘Two steamers go from New York to Per nambuco, Maceio and Bahia, North Brazil, Twenty-five sail to mid-Brazil (Rio and Santos), from Charleston, Sa vannah, Brunswick and Jacksonville Five steamers from New York and one from New Orleans make regulur trips | to the west coust of South America ranging from Guayaquil, Ecuador, Vulperaiso, Chile. Two steamers go from New York to North Africa and Egypt; five from New York to the Dutch East Indies two from New York to Bombay aud te other Indian ports; three from New York to Spain (Barcelona, Valeucta, Cadiz and the Seville) Every two months a steamer goes from the me tropolis to Danzig, and sty weeks one or two steamers sull out the Narrows to Constantinople and the Black Sea ports. Three steamers sail from New York to West Afric two to South Africa, three to Australia and New Zealand, and three to China, Ja pan and the Philippines Fifteen steumers leave the Golden Gate every ten days, for China and Japan and two more from the same port go to Europe via the far East. | We have a steamer from New York every to Genoa, and ope from Baltimore to the same port; while two serve Gre clan ports from New York. ‘To Lon don we send six steamers from New | two Nor: | three from Philadelphia, Baltimore and one from We send six to Liverpool from York, from folk.

New York says good- by to three ships clearing for Giasgow on monthly sailings, four to Havre, and three to Bordeaux, The latter port is also served from Boston and Baltimore with two steamers and one steamer, respectively. New York sends two steamers to Marseilles and seven to Antwerp, while two frem Boston, and one each from Philadelphia and Baltimore go to the same destination. Rotterdam sees New York ships to the number of ten, and from Philadelphia two.

Dr. William F. Warren, president emeritus of Boston university, in a late number of the Classical Journal, gives fresh evidence for the view se long advocated by him that man from the earliest times has had the con- ception of the earth as a sphere. He reviews the mythical geography of the East Aryans, showing that they look- ed upon the earth as a sphere, and con- siders what light this East Aryan geography throws upon the wander- ings of lo as described by Aeschylus in his “Prometheus Bound,” and upon the geographic ideas of prehistoric Greeks. The conclusion ts that this old myth as poetically retold by Aeschylus re- veals a conception of the earth identt- cal with the spherical idea of the East Aryans. Doctor Warren has given us a vigorous piece of criticism in this paper, suc ding in making clear the Journey of lo which battled the great Greek historian Grole that he 80 sald: “The route of Io in the ‘Pre theus Bound’ defies all comprelension, even as a consistent picture.” Such a paper reminds us that Hellenic liter- ature has not been exhausted by origi nal investigation. Apprenticeship for Mothers. In the domain of home economies, which has become so firmly intrenched in the education of American women the practice house has afforded some thing comparable to what the hospital offers to the medical student, says the Journal of the*American Medical as sociation. Recently the varied activi tles in the practice houses of one large educational institution, have been di versified still further by affording op portunities to observe as well as to as sist in the care of infants. The latter are secured from orphanages. This form of apprenticeship in the study of the homemaker’s job is an innovation which deserves to be watched with in- terest. Great Aqueduct Completed. The completion of the Pugliese aque- duct is one of the important items in the extensive public-works develop ment to be undertaken by the Italian government. The actual construction was started in 1905, and at the present time the main aqueduct has been fin- ished. The final cost of the entire works will amount to about $60,000,000. The maio aqueduct runs from Naples to Taranto, through the province of the Puglie, and its length is sowething over 152 miles. ~- one | while | POBLc a se ee a a te ts te te te es ed ie ie te a te se ee te te et te td S LE Having sold my farm I will sell at public sale on my ranch 1 mile northwest of Cotton- wood commencing at 10 a. m. the following described property on Monday, February 23 8 HEAD 1 black gelding, 1 bay mare, 8 years old, weight 1200 1 1 1 1 1 = 10-foot hay 1 2 2 horse power 4 sleds, 1 log ie 1 y 2 center tables, t ( ‘ } \ o 3 < B COUNTY SEAT NEWS ITEMS.

Davis, census enumerator, who has just completed his work ia| | vealing actual result of the enu- meration, declared it was sur- from) prising how few persons are to| be found in the mountain dis- tricts. William Jones, well known cattle man who has been feeding some three hundred head near here during the winter, will start his herd back to the Salmon river where it is said the winter range is sufficient to sustain the cattle. Last fall on account of the scarcity of feed in the Boles country and on his winter ranges Mr. Jones purchased a_ large amount of hay near here and drove his cattle out to the feed. They are all looking in good con- dition. Some of Mr. Jones’ neighbors have had their cattle on the range for the past three weeks. He will be assisted in moving the herd by Lawrence Cone.

A man who loses his temper always manages to find it again. An average man is one who thinks he is away above the average, The taffy-pulling girl may develop into a hair-pulling wife.
