The ACTION of the assessor Of ChOteau
residents of Meagher county that have
CHANGED to stray over the line is unprece-
denied and in direct violation of law. A
number of citizens of lower Smith river
have had from fifty to n hundred head of
stock each assessed in Choteau county.
The smallest game of petty larceny we have
yet known a great county to be guilty of.
Suppose Meagher county stock does stray,
sometimes into Choteau, does not the stock
belonging to the citizens of that county in
return stray into Meagher county. The law
plainly regulates this matter, and we are
surprised That well informed county officials
should attempt to thus override it.

The NEW mines are situated on the north
fork of the Judith, about six miles from the
valley, and easy of access by wagon. The
distance of the mines from Benton is esti-
mated at from eighty to one hundred miles;
from Fort Logan and White Sulphur
Springs, from forty to fifty miles. There is
a good wagon road from Benton, and also
from White Sulphur Springs. Stampeders
cross the mountains by the trail which
crosses the mountains at the head of Sheep
creek, and also the one which crosses at the
| head of Newlan creek, but the most practi-
cable route for men going from southern
and western Montana is by way of White
Sulphur Springs, Copperopolis and Moore's
pass to the Judith. This is a good winter
trail. and that portion OF the route from
Copperopolis through may be converted
into a wagon road with a small outlay of
labor.

= HEdrOphobia in England.

Some interesting figures as to the
number Of deaths from hydrophobia in
England and WOES during the eleven
years ending in 1876, are given in a
Parliamentary return recently submitted
by the Registrar-GeneraI. The total
number was 387, or 32.2 year, the re-
turns showing an increase in the latter
part of the period, the average of the
first six years being 26.5 per anumn, and
for the last five 45.6, while in 1876 the
deaths were 50 as against II in 1875.
This increase may possibly be laid on
account of increased accuracy in OBJ
tanning statistics. Another curious point
(which may possibly be considered as
strengthening such an assumption) is
the fact that the deaths are almost all
reported from certain districts. Of the
total number of deaths (387), no less
than I18 occurred in Lancashire, 75 in
west Riding Of Yorkshire, Al in London,
and 26 in Durham, the disease appear
ing to be unknown, in the Southwest, the
East. the South Midland. and Wales.

A Mothers Heart,

A Hamilton (Ont.) paper relates the
following touching incident: at nine
o'clock troupes of police marched out in
every direction and invaded the bad
houses in the city. Batch after batch
was brought in. A woman carrying a
little infant is among them. The
mother is only l9, the child is just
learning to talk, the mother Weeps Bit
terly, the child crows and claps his
little hands as if the bowling about it
had been gotten up for its special benefit.
1t lifted a pair Of handouts from the
table and iingled them near its mothers
ear. "Oh, God" cried the mother, 'let
my baby 90. Send some good woman
for it. Oh, l can never take my baby
into a cell. 1t is innocent. I am wicked.
The child is fit for heaven. 1t has
never sinned. Oh, let it not be tainted
with a cell" She held it high up before
all present, her hair falling over her
shoulders, and her hot, wild face quiv-
ering with agony. She held it high up,
the little growing, chirruping thing. It
jingled the handouts and laughed. A
hush fell upon that place as if an angels
presence was there. 4 brazen faced
girl in silks and satins came sweeping
forward to take the child, but the mother
snapped at her like a british animal
and pushed her back. "Oh, no." she
hissed "0h, no, no, no, no, not you"
Chief MCMenemy knows how to do his
duty as well as any man, but he saw
this was an extraordinary case and sent
the baby home. The mother went into
her cell holding her heart. She came
back and kissed her baby and
whispered in its ear. at were better for
you, my child, that you never saw me
again" The child was carried away
crying because they took the handcuhh

Clear Notes from d High Standpoint.

cess in London and in many large
town and cities in the interior. In
this recent speech, Mr.. Gladstone
thus referred to the United States;
1T must be admitted, he said,
"that a comparison between the in
temperance of America and that Of
our own country would not be in
our favor Here, intemperance has
reached such an extent that it has
become a national reprOach. There
fore, without any Pharisaism, we
may ask whether it would not be a
a good thing that there should be
opened to worlingmen places Of en-
tertainment where they might OBJ
tain recreation, rest and good food,
in conjunction with beverages which
would involve no risk of intoxica-
ton. Such institutions, wherever
founded, have been eminently sue
cessful, and they are thoroughly ap-
preciated by the workngmen OF
London and, moreover, the pecUni-
sry returns areof a satisfactory char
acter."

TIE RING As A SYBBoL.-The ring
was part of the insignia of royalty, like
the scepter and the crown in ancient
times. When Pharaoh raised Joseph
to the highest possible dignity in Egypt
only himself on the throne being
greater than his minister-he took the
ring from his own hand and gave it to
the young Hebrew in token of the au-
thOrity bestowed upon him as a ruler,
over all the land of Egypt. When Ha-
man, weary of seeing Mordecai sitting
at the gate, obtained the permission of
Ahasuerus to carry into execution his
vile scheme for Staying all the Jews in
the provinces, he received the kings
ring as his warrant and it was with
the ring he directed all official letters to
be afterwards sealed. The present use
Of the ring as a keepsake and as a mar
rage token are simply relics of the sig
nificance, prestige and power that once
were associated with the ring.

WASHING THE FACE.-There are sew
eral wrong ways of washing the face, and
but one right. Towel, flannel, sponge
are all out of place where the face is
concerned. The hands only should be
used. Doctsr Wilson's directions are /:
"Fill your basin about twO-thirds full
with fresh water dip your face in the
water and then your hands. Soap the
hands well, and pass the soaped hands
with gentle friction over the whole face.
Having performed this part of the oper-
alton thoroughly, dip the face in the
water the second time, and rinse it
completely; you may add very much to
the luxury of the latter part of the op-
Grafton by having a second basin ready
with fresh water to perform a final
rinse. But the care Of the complexion
requires that not only the face, but the
whole body shall be daily subjected to
the bath. The sponge-baths, perhaps,
the best, and the temperature of the
water must be regulated by the sensa-
tions of the bather, and by the season
Of the year. No one can deny the
charm of clear, soft color in the cheeks
and lips, and it must be an incorrigible
complexion, indeed, that will not yield
to the measures that 1 have recon-
mended

Leather.

Leather has long history. If it is a
too exclusive motto that there is moth
'ng like leather" few manufactured
things are older. 1t was probably the
very first bit of manufacture-rude vet
suited to its purpose, the use of bark for
hardening and preserving skins having,
no doubt, been practiced in prehistoric
times. Even our progenitor-the an.
cient Briton-used a srong hide thong to
throw his stones with, and was scantily
clad in leather-anticipati the odd
desire Of George Fox, the founder of
Quakerism. Within the period of au-
theutic history, legislated for and pro-
tected, and has often been included in
sumptuary regulations. 1t is very odd
to read that in England in the sixteenth
century complaints were made that skins
were tanned III three weeks, thus uncOn-
sciously shortening the period Of use
and wont, which had been about one
year, and that in consequence an act
was passed in 1888 prohibiting tanners
from selling hides that were not attested
TO have been nine months in the tan
pit. And the jealousy of rival guilds,
which did something in old days to Sc
cure the division of labor, if nothing
more, is also seen in the history of
leather. In 1889 tanners were pro-
hibited from being shoe 1nakers; while
IN 1868 butchers were precluded from
becoming tanners under a penalty.
Some of the restrictions which sur
rounded the eather-manufacturers
actually remained until 1880, when they
we're completely removed by an act of
George ", Free trade in tanning, then
gave an immense impetus to
the application and extension of the
chemical discoveries which had been
made by Seguin in 17S5, and by Sir
Davy in 1903.

RATTLEsNAKE JACK.-Rattlesnake Jack
/ is the euphonious title of a lOng-haired
scout who appeared on our streets this
week, says the Grant County (Or.) Times,
clad in buckskin habiliments. Jacks
forte is oratory and shooting. After
getting outside Of a half dozen "straights"
he opened in this style: 'T'm a man
from the mountains, Pm hyena from
the tropics, and nephew Of old Kit
Carson; I've got a string of scalps that
mule can't pack. General Crook and
me used to sleep in the same blankets
and smile from the same bottle; Pm
poker-player from Arizona, and my
mother rode on the first steamboat that
ever navigated the Columbia; I'm

A new war-like appliance is about to
be introduced into the British service,
and will probably be known as the
'hand torpedo" Like the grenRdes of
half a century ago, they are intended to
be thrown by the hand into the enemy's
boats, or over parapets and stOckades /;
but instead of being a shell exploded by
a fuse, as the grenades were, they will
consist entirely of gun cotton, pulped or
compressed into a cake or ball of three
or four pounds weight. A long cord is
attached to each charge; the other end
of which is connected with kind of
pistol held by the operator. The tor
pedo is pitched into the required posi-
ton, when a touch on the figger deto-
mates the gun cotton, and an explosion
follows such as experiment has shown to
be sufficient to shatter in atoms a FIVE
ton block of granite. One such charge,
skillfully applied, would annihilate a
Ooats crew, and in the hands of daring
men, might work great destruction by
being thrown into large ships.

In a paper read before the Society Of
Arts, London, James Mactear estimated
the coal consumption of the British
metropolis at over 100000 tons a year,
At one per cent. this would give $4,000
tons Of sulphur or 345, 900 tons Of oil Of
vitriol-mOre than five times the amount
given off by all the sulphuric acid works
in the country. The yearly consump-
ton of coal in Great Britain and Ireland
is 14,043, $40 tons, which produces /, no.
439 tons of sulphur, or 3,500,O0O tons of
oil of vitrioil. Some idea may thus be
formed of the vast amount of sulphuriC
acid gas in the atmosphere of thickly
or large cOal-cOnsuming dis
tricts of q country.

nnenn HIotnrin,s innovation.

It is not the general custom to use
napkins at luncheon in England, ai-
though at great houses luncheon in
reality is small dinner; as it may well
be when, eta muekle dinner herself is
at o'clock, and on great occasions at !.
An American lady was visiting at one
Of these houses, where she found the
usual absence Of the napkin at midday.
She knew her hostess so well that she
could venture to ask her why it was that
napkins were not used at luncheon.
Her grace (for she was duchess) re-
Piled simply and briefly that it was mot
the custom" and with an air that sig
nifed that that settled the question.
But her guest had taken luncheon with
the Queen more than once at BalmOral,
and there she had found napkins. This
she told her friend as a sort of justifiCa-
ton of her inquiry. "Indeedw replied
the Duchess. "The Queen had better be
careful. She will make herself unpopu-
lar if she undertakes to change the Gus
toms of the country" The Philistinism
of John Bull does not even stop short
of napkins.
