The worst Of it Is, that when these
passions pull very often, the face does
not return to what it was before, but
the muscles harden and retain that ugly
expression. By indulging in evil pas
siOns, people may work their faces up
into such awful faces, that sometimes
when you meet man in the street you
can tell, just by looking at his face,
what his character Is.
A face that was very lovely when it
was that OF q child, has had the passion
Of anger pulling at it SO often that it
always wears q sullen, cross, dissltis-
tied look. Or if = man has learned to
love to hoard up money for its own
sake, his face gets mean, grasping
look, and we say when we pass him,
There goes miser.' Or If he has
learned to lie and steal, he cannot
make his face that Of an truthful, hon
est man.
Dear children, do you want to have
pleasant faces that everybody will love
to look atp Then don't let the ugly
passions get hold of the strings. Put
them into the hands of love and char
ity and good will and truth and hon.
esty, and then they will be beautiful
faces.

Casting a Gold Brick.

On Thursday afternoon the largest
gold bar of which there is any record
was cast at the assay office of Molitor
Brothers in this city. The process of
melting, which began before midday,
consumed several hours, and not until
past three o'clock was the accumulated
mass of retort crowded beneath the lid
of No. 100 Crucible and reduced to its
molten state. S ~
The moment finally arrived when the
melted treasure, skinned of the borax
Stag covering its surface, was ready to
pour. The heavy tongs were adjusted
to the crucible, the pulley tackle secure
ly hitched on, and at the signal given
the seething mass was raised from the
furnace and rested upon the iron table.
The spectators were all manifestly ex-
cited, and the assayers and assistants
evinced anxiety. At the word the
tackle was unhitched, and four men,
with hands and arms muffled in padded
mits, grasped tongs and leverage, and
tipped the crucible. The liquid metal
poured in golden rivulet into the
great iron mould, the oil from which
shot up a dense, smothering smoke,
midst OF the pouring the mould cracked
with loud report, but the workmen,
unmoyed by this accident, held stead
iIy to the business in hand, and kept
up the "pour." The molten mass was
drained, and in the mould lay the red
hot solidifying monster bar. f7ts NJ
A few minutes intervened, when the
bar was discharged from the mold and
lifted into the cooling tank. Its tenn
perature reduced to handling touch, it
was taken from the water and q mus
cular man put to work securing. This
labor ended, the bar was lugged to the
counter of the front Office, the doors
thrown open and the public admitted.
In the course of couple of hours hun
dreds of eager people hurried to the
office to inspect this extraordinary
golden specimen. The dimensions,
weight, fineness and value of the bar
are as follows: Length, twenty inches;
top breadth seven inches; bottom
breadth, six inches; depth, three inches;
weight, $3.50. .96 ounces; fine, 760 gold;
223 silver; value, $53, 258. 80 gold; $9T7.-
50 silver.
This is understood to be the largest
gold bar ever cast in Montana or else
where. 1t exceeds by more than LOCO
ounces the great gold bar cast in Helena
by S. H. Bohm & Co., in 1870. The
product comes entirely from the Penob-
scot mine, and is the result of thirty
full days working of one arastra, and
less than twenty days working of five
stamps. = l.sNASs y - @
The bar will remain on exhibition at
the banking house of Hershfield Broth
ers for several days, after which it will
be expressed to New York, where it is
destined to create sensation even
greater than we have witnessed in
Helena. = Helena (Monta,sa) Herald.

The Minneapolis Explosion Great Loss
Of Life and Property.
MrsSEApoL,s, Mimi, May

MINNEAPoLIS, Minn, May ..
At seven o'clock this evening the city
was shaken, as by an earthquake, by a
terrific explosion, which was promptly
traced to the groups Of great Touring
mills, in what is known as the plat
form, Just above ST. Anthony's Falls,
where the entire Touring district of the
city is concentrated.
The explosion came from the great
Washburn Mill, from which column
of fame was seen to shoot up several
hundred feet, followed by a crash.
which crushed the immense structure
like an egg-shell. Other explosions in
stantly destroyed the Thompson, Hoyt
and Humboldt Mills, and flames i'm
mediately burst out, communicating to
the galaxy Of mills, and other struct-
urcs down the bank Of the river nearly
to the Minneapolis & St. Louis Rail-
road shops. The destruction from the
shock Of the explosion extended much
farther, glass being wrecked for sew
eral squares, and buildings shaken
throughout the city. Tho Immediate
theory Of the explosion is that it took
place In gas generated fnsthe patent
middlings purifier process.
There ewere many thrilling incidents
and narrow escapes. Daniel Day was
blown the whole length Of Petit q Rob

who could not be recognized, had es-
capped alive from the explosion, and
was observed crawling through the

The teacher began to explain it, when
a scene took place which helped to
show what it meant.
A boy, seven years of age, whose
name was George, was sitting by the
side of his sister, who was only five
years old. While the teacher was talk
ing. George got angry with his sister
for something, and struck her.
The little girl began to cry; but the
teacher said, :. My dear Mary, you had
better kiss your brother. See how
angry he looks!'
Mary looked at her brother. He
seemed sullen and wretched. She threw
both her arms about his neck and
kissed him. George was not prepared
for such kind feturn for his blow.
His feelings were touched, and he burst
into tears. Mary wiped away his tears
with her apron, and sought to comfort
him. DO not cry, George" she said;
| "vOu did not hurt me much" But he
only wept the more.
And why did George weep? Would
