Western Enterprise.

A little while ago the principal bus
mess portion of the town OF Helena,
Montana, was licked up by the flames
To-day the principal business streets
show scarcely a trace of the great
fire. Within sixty days one hundred
and twenty-four new buildings have
been put up, worth not less than
three hundred thousand dollars
When it is considered that all the
brick used had to be burned, the
stone quarried and the lumber sawed
within the time named, the result
seems almost magical. 1t is a good
illustration of Western enterprise, and
q proof that the, people of Montana
have faith in the resources of their
beautiful land among the mountains

The PosftfOnfn Sleeping.

Most people sleep best on the right
side; the chief reason for this is that
as the heart lies towards the left side,
greater freedom is given to its mo-
tions. In. many countries it is the
habit to sleep on hard boards, or at
most with a mat thrown over them.
The ancient Egyptians slept with the
head supported on an iron bar, bent to
its shape. This one thing only seems
to belong to all times and to all cOun-
tries-that, when possible, people al
ways sleep lying down. But, in cases
of great fatigue, neither this, nor even
a state Of rest, is indispensable. PeO-
pie have often slept while riding on
horseback. In the retreat of Sir John
Moore during the Penin5ular War,
many of the soldiers were found TO be
fast asleep while they were marching.
It is indeed astonishing how well
sleep can be INDUCED in under diff
culties. Men worn out by fatigue and
loss of rest at the siege of SebastOpOl
slept soundIy in the batteries during a
bombardment. Coy and fugitive when
sought after, sleep is often an irresisti
BILE influence when UnsOught.

The Tomato.

DR.. Bennet, a professor Of some ce-
lebrity, considers -the tomato an in
valuable article of diet, and ascribes to
it very important medical properties:
Ist. That the tomato is one Of the
most powerful aperients of the liver
and other organs; where calOmel is
indicated, it is probably one of the
most effective and the least harmful
remedial agents known to the PrOfes-
sion.
2d. That chemical extract will be
obtained from it that will supersede
the use of caIomel in the cure Of dis
ease.
Sd. That he has successfully treat
ed diarrh9l with that article alone.
4th. That when used as an article
of diet, it is almost sOvereign-for dys-
pepsia and indigestion.
9Th. That it should be constantly
used as an article of daily food; either
cooked, raw, or in the form Of catsup,
! it is the most healthy article in use.

A Truthful Sketch.

Let a man fail in business, what Won
derful effect it has on his former friends
and creditors! Men who had taken him
by the arm, laughed and chatled with
him by the hour, shrug up their shout
dgrs and pass him by with a chilling
show do you do?" Every trihe of a bill
is hunted up and presented, that would
not have seen daylight for months to come,
but for the misfortune of the debtor. If
paid, welInnd good; if not, the seowl Of
The sheriff, perhaps, meets him at the cor
ner. A man that has never failed, knows
but little of human nature. In prosperity
he sails along, gently waited by favoring
smiles and kind words from everybody
He prides himself upon his good name and
spotIess character, and makes his boasts
that he has not an enemy in the world
Alas! the change. He looks upon the
world in a different light when reverses
come upon him. He reads suspicion on
every brow. He hardly knows how to
move, or whether to do this thing or the
other-fOr there are spies about him, and Il
writ is ready for his back, To understand
what kind of stuff the world is made OF, a
person must be unfortunate and stop pay
ment once in his lifetime. Ifhe has kind
friends, then they are made manifest. A
failure is a moral sieve-it brings out the
wheat and shows the chaff. A man thus
learns that words and pretended good will
do not constitute real friendship.

a fine lesson is conveyed to take nc
note of time but by its benefts-to

1t is not enough that women are
usually temperate. While we can

The following Quaker declaration of
faith was written by George Fox in 1871,
and sent to the Governor of Barbados;
DECLARATION OF FAITH.
We own and believe in God, the only
wise, omnipOtent and everlasting God, the
Creator of all things in heaven and earth,
and the Preserver of all that He hath
made; who is God over all, blessed forev-
er; to whom be all honor, glory dominion,
praise and thanksgiving, both now and
forevermOreI And we own and believe
in Jesus Christ, His beloved and only be-
gotten Son, in whom he is we'll pleased;
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
and born of the Virgin Mary; in whom we
have redemption through His blood, even
the forgiveness of sins; who IS the express
image of the invisible God, the first born
of every creature, by whom were all
things created that are in heaven and in
earth, visible and invisible. Whether
they be thrones, dUminions, municipalities
or powers, all things were created by Him.
And we own and believe that He was
made d sacrifice for sin, who knew no sin,
neither was guile found in His mother;
that He was crucifed for us in the flesh,
without the gates Of Jerusalem; and that
| he was buried and rose again the third
] day by the power of His Father, for our
| justification, and that lie ascended up in
| to Heaven, and now sitteth on the right
hand of God; This Jesus, who was the
foundation of the holy prophets and apos-
| ties, is our foundation; and we believe
there is no other foundation to be laid but
that which is laid, even Christ Jesus; who
tasted death for every man, shed His blood
for all men, is the prupitiation for our
sins, and not for ours only, but also for
| the sins of the whole world. according as
John the Baptist testified Of Him when he
said, "BehOld the Lamb of God, that tax
eth away the sins of the world" We be-
! lieve that He alOHe-is our Redeemer and
Savior, the Captain of our salvation, who
saves us from sin, as well as from hall
and the wrath TO come, and destroys the
! Devil and his works. He is the seed of
the woman that bruises the serpent's head,
tO-wit-Christ Jesus, the Alpha and One
ga, the first and the last. He is las the
Scriptures of truth say of Him) our wis
dom, righteousness, justification and re-
demption; neither is there salvation in any
other, for there is no other name under
| Heaven given among men whereby we
must be saved. This Lord Jesus Christ
/ the heavenly man, the Emmanuel, God with
us. We all own and believe in.

The Effect of salt on the Blood.

The Effect of Salt Oh the Blood.
DIR. Stevens, a Scotch physician and
surgeon, saw a butcher killing pig.
He Observed that he stirred the blood
of the animal and added a handful of
common salt to it while stirring, which
Immediately made it crimson, and on
the stirring being discontinued, the
blood was fluid. The change OF the
color of the blood awakened his curl
osity. The butcher could give no ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon, except
that it kept it from jrIlying and spell
ing. DR.. Stevens seized vessel, and
caught some blood, and made several
experiments by putting salt in it, and
found that the blacklist blood was in
stantly changed to a bright vermiliOn
by salt. "Oh % sajti he, "here is a
fact which may lead to a practical
rule" He had observed in cases of
yellow fever in the army that the
blood drawn was very black and thick
and on adding salt it became vermil-
/ ion. and retained its freshness; where
as putridity of the blood is one Of the
characteristics of the yellow fever. He
therefore abandoned the usual mode
of treating it, and gave his patients
mixture of various salts, and in {
very short time reduced the mortality
lof fever in the West Indies from On'
lin five to one in fifty.

HOusekeepor's Corner.
Care Of Boots and Shoes.

Boots and shos, if taken care of
properly, will usually last two or three
times longer than they usually do
and, at the same time, fl the feet far
more satisfactorily, and keep them dry
and more comfortable in wet and cold
weather. The upper leather should
be kept soft and pliable, while the
sOles need to be hard, tough and inn
pervious to water. The first thing TO
be done with a pair of new shoes for
farm use, is to set each one on plat
ter or an old dinner plate, and pour
on boiled Hnseed oil, sufficiently 10
fill the vessel to the upper edge Of the
sOlps. Allow the leather to absorb as
much oil es it will for eight hour.
LiHseed oil should not be applied to
the upper leather, as it will soon be-
come dry, rendering the leather hard
and tough. But if the soles be satura-
ted with oil, it will exclude the damp
mess and enlarge the pegs, 50 that tho,
sole will never get loose from the up
per leather. If the shoes be sewed,
the Iins7ed oil will preserve the thread
from rOtting. Now, wet the upper
leather thoroughly when the boots or
shoes are to be put on the feet, so that
those parts that are tight may render
a trihe, and thus fer adapt the form Of
the shoe to the foot far more salts
factorily than when the upper leather
is not wet. Keep them on the feet
until they are nearly dry. Then give
the upper leather a thorough greasing
with equal parts of lard and tallOw,
or with tallow and neat's-foot oil. II
shoes be treated in this manner, and a
row of round-headed shoe nails be
driven around the edge Of the solrs
they will wear like copper, and al
ways set easy to the feet. Boots and
shoes should be treated as suggested,
and worn a little several months be-
fore put to daily service. This is the
true way to save your shoe money

Anecdote of Miss Patti.

When Carlotta Patti was in England,
several years ago, very pretty little
story was told about her, which has
been revived since her arrival in this
country. She was once driving through
one of the London suburbs, when she
observed a sparrow, which seemed to
have been wounded, fluttering along
the roadside. Plying the little sur
ferer, she alighted from her carriage,
and taking it up very teDderly, discov-
cred that both legs were broken. The
forlorn condition Of the bird, and the
character of its injuries, with which her
own disabilities taught her so well to
sympathize, induced Miss Patti to take
the poor little creature home. Since
that hour the bird and the cnntdtrtce
have been inseparable friends. 1t has
been with her in all her jOurneyingsi
accepts its food from no other hands
but hers, and seems to watch and wali
for her as if it possessed an intelligence
capable of gratitude.

How TO Carve aud Help at Ia
b2e.

Itis considered an accomplishment
for a lady to know how to carve we'll
at her own table. 1t is not proper to
stand in carving. The carving knife
should be sharp and thin. To carve
fowls, (Which should always be laid
with the breast uppermOst) J place the
fork in the breast, and take off the
wings and legs without turning tho
fowl; then cut out the merry thought,
cut Slices from the breast, take out
the collar bone, cut off the side pieces,
and then cut the carcass in two; di-
vide the joints in the leg Of turkey.
In carving sirloin, cut thin slices
from the side next to you, ( it must he
put on the dish with the tenderloin
underneath,) then turn it and cut
from the tenderlOin, helping the guests
to both kinds. In carving a leg Of
mutton or ham, begin by cutting
across the middle of the bone, gut a
tongue across, and not lengthwise, and
help from the middle part. Carve -
fore quarter of lamb by Separating
/ the shoulders from the ribs, help each
one to a piece of kidney and its tat;
carve pork or mutton in the same
way. In carving a pig, it iseustom-
ary to divide it aud take off the head
before it comes to the table, as to
many persons the head is revOltingl
cut off the limbs and divide the ribs.
/ In carving venison, make an inoision
down to the bone and let out tie

wards you, cutting deep. and in thin
/ slices. For saddle Of veDisOn, cut
from the fall towards the other end,
on each side, in thin slices Warm

Printers.

Junius Henrie Browne, in Packard's
Monthly, has a long article on printers"
from which we extract the following truth
ful paragraphs:
printers ink begets cynicism, as damp
ness, .rleumatisIn, or foul air fever. There
is no escaping il. Men in printing offices,
whether they prepare or set copy, contract
the disease, and suffer from it more or less
as their mental system responds to or re-
sists it. They are behind the scenes. They
know that the golden crowns and golden
goblets the public so-admires are naught
but pasteboard; that gliltering jewels. are
ouIv coiored glass; that the crimson glory
Of the tableau is only a flash of red fire;
that the moulhing fellow who is so lavish
of his dukedoIus is in arrears for his morn
/ ing cocktail. Life is unidealized to them
| from the outset. It is stripped Of its Illu-
sion, and fine names are but echoes OF emp
tiness. Why expect them to admire?
Why ask them - be ambitious? why
| look for enthusiasm III them?
| 4sTbe printer understands how reputa-
tions are made. He knows they are not
blown forth from the trumpet of fame, but
from the trumpet of him who seeks repu-
I tation bv performing so, and gets it there
nv. He is aware that while genius starN es
impudence fattens; that while wisdom
hides in garret, hiPpancy draws on the
pave; that while inspiration pines, man
agement aushes with health. He sees in
the editorial language of the Statesman
or artists own hand, that hOnors are easy
to the man who has the etfrontery to ask
and the determination not to be denied
No wonder that he believes all achieve
ments unworthy, all success a sort Of cheat
all persons of eminence those who have
not vet been found out"
