mutilation Of various exhibits while in the pos

Fruit Culture.

Foremost among those to show that Mon
tana is adapted to fruit culture are the Bass
Bros. and Horris Bros, of Missoula county.
In the Bitter Root valley they have fine or
chards growing, and nurseries are planted
out of which fortunes will be made. For
the past three years they have grown fine ap-
pies. Last summer they had number of
plum and cherry trees that grew splendid
fruit The finest apples we have sampled in
Montana were produced this year in the Bit
ter Root valley. Bass Brothers, we learn,
have started forty acre orchard. The en-
terprise of these men should be initiated by
others The harder fruits, we are satisfied,
can be successfully grown in any part of
Montana Farmers ought in few years to
produce all the apples necessary for Montana
consumption.

Opinion Of 0fPhysiclans.

To the Board Of School Trustees, Helena Dis
trict.
At your request we yesterday visited with
DR.. Steele, attending physician, Miss Smith
at the Sisters Hospital, and Miss Bywaters
in the valley. Both these cases we pronounce
undoubtedly diptheria. In Miss Bywaters'
case the disease is severe and particularly
we'll marked. In Miss Smiths we'll marked
but of milder type.
On Saturday we visited, with Dr. Steele,
the family of MIR. Calvin Beach. Under ordi-
nary circumstances we should consider these
cases simple tonsillitis, but the presence OF
diptheria in the valley, in the immediate
neighborhood from which Mr.. Beach's family
have lately removed, and the fact that the
entire family of eight children were attacked
with tonsillitis siultaneously, convinces US
that even in these cases the same epidemic
influence has had modifying effect

Defects i'm the School System.

One of the most obvious defects of the
modern graded school system, remarks the
St. Paul Pjoneer-P Press, is illustrated by those
cases where pupil is doing we'll in his studies,
has high percentage in every report, but,
being young and growing fast, is yet plainly
carrying more than his physical strength
will warrant. The natural course would be
to drop one or two of the studies, but this
the grading system will not admit; and the
pupil, who of course is unconscious that he
is working too hard, must either be required
to 60 back to lower grade, or must be with
drawn from school entirely. In instances of
this kind, which are by no means infrequent,
judicious teachers generally recommend the
temporary withdrawal of the pupil az less dis
astrous than his degradation, without appar-
ent reason, to q lower class.

1t is told of man who went out hunting
in the mountains, armed with rifle, hatch
ct, and long bowie knife, that reaching a
cleared space in the pine timber, he espied a
huge grizzly and at the same time the huge
grizzly espied him. Nothing daunted, the
man discharged his rifle, but missed the bear.
Somewhat excited he threw the hatchet and
again missed the bear. At this point he made
up his mind that with nothing but his knife
lett he needed some outside assistance and
he determined to ask for it. Now he was
not praying man and was not familiar with
the usual forms of petition, but the emergency
was great and with no thought of profanity
he drw the bowie-knife and calculated: "'Oh
Lord! If you are on my side in this business
l expect you to see me well out of it. lfyou
are on the side OF the bear you must draw
it as mild as you can, and if possible dull his
claws little. But, if you have no prefer
ences either way. just stand out one side and
you'll see the cussedest bear fight that ever
come off in these mountains" The fight !?
Well, the skin is witness that the bear didn't
get the best of it.

Time Makes Changes Pleasantly.

Does trouble rise, and life appear
A prison with no open gate,
And fettered circumstance and fear
Attend thy ways?-In silence wait
And look to God-it we'll will be,
For time makes changes pleasantly.
Let no corroding passions rise
To vent hot words to add to pain;
Warm lies the light in Southern skies
To chase the clouds of winter rain,
And heart-contents await for thee
For time makes changes pleasantly.
For time the man of peace befriends.
Removes in silence what appears
Life's boundary wall, and far extends
The boundaries of future years.
There's sunlight on the refucnt sea,
And time makes changes pleasantly.
