Helena, Montana, Thursday, March II; 1879.
Rules for Winter.

Never lean with the back upon anything
that is cold. Never begin Journey until the
breakfast has been eaten. Never take warm
drinks and then Immediately 60 out in tho
cold air. Keep the back-especially between
the shoulder blades-well covered; also the
chest well protected. In sleeping in cold
room, establish the habit of breathing through
the nose, and never with the mouth open.
Never 20 to bed with cold or damp feet; al
ways toast them by fire ten or fifteen min
utes before going to bed. Never omit regu
lar bathing, for unless the skin is in active
condition the cold will close the pores, and
favor congestion or other diseases. After ex-
ercises of any kind never ride in an open
carriage or near the window of car for
moment; it is dangerous to health and
even to life. When hoarse, speak as little as
possible until it is recovered from, else the
voice may be permanently lost or difficulties
of the throat be produced. Merely warm the
back by fire and never continue keeping the
back exposed to heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise is de-
bilitating. When going from warm at.
mosphere into colder one keep the mouth
closed, SO that the air may be warmed by its
passage through the nose ere it reaches the
lungs. Never stand still in cold weather, es-
peciaily after having taken slight degree of
exercise, and always avoid standing on ice or
snow, or where the person is exposed to a
cold wind.

Miss WhartOn'S Pie.

Miss Margaret Wharton was lady of good
family and large fortune. She was one of
the Whartons Of Shelton Castle, Cleveland,
and possessed :s20O, 900, half OF which she
gave to nephew. She was well known in
Scarborough, where she used to send out for
"a pennyworth of cream" and "a pennyworth
of straw berries" always paying her penny
down, From this little peculiarly she be-
came known as Peg Pennyworth. On one
occasion while in Scarborough, she had a
meat-pie made; it was very large, as it was
for herself, some visitors, and the servants
She ordered her footman to take it to the
bake-house. He refused, saying it was not
CONSTANT with his dignity to be seen dressed
in plush and tags, carrying meatpie. Mis-
tress Peg then desired the coachman to take
it; but he also declined. ''Bring out the
carriage" was the command. The carriage
was harnessed, the coachman donned his
powered wig and mounted the box; the foot
man ascended behind and Mistress Margaret
Wharton sitting in state in the carriage, bore
the meat-pie on her lap. "Drive to the bake
house" was her command. In an hour or
two. the same state being observed, the pie
was brought back. ''Now," she said to the
coachman, ''you have kept your place, which
is to drive; and you," turning to the foot
man. shave kept yours, which is to wait;
and now we will all have some pie. IT CHAM

A Beautiful Story.

Coleridge relates story to this effect:
Alexander during his march into Africa came
to a people dwelling in peaceful huts who
knew neither war nor conquest. Gold being
offered him, he refused it, saying his sole
object was to learn the manners and customs
of the inhabitants. '"Stay with us as long as
it pleaseth thee," said the Chief. During this
interview with the African Chief, two of his
subjects brought case before him for judg-
ment The dispute was this: The one had
bought,a piece of land, which, after the pur-
chase, was found TO contain treasure for
which he found himself bound to pay. The
other refused to receive anything. stating
that he had sold the ground with what it
might be found to contain, apparent or con-
cealed. Said the Chief, looking at the one.
"You have son:" and to the other, "You
have daughter; let them be married and
the treasure given them as dowry" Alex
ander was astonished. ''And what" said the
chief, "would have been the decision in your
country?" "We should have dismissed the
parties and seized the treasure for the Kings
use." 'And does the sun shine in your coun-
try?" said the chief; does the rain fall there?
Are there any cattle there which feed upon
herbs and green grass?' "Certainly," said
Alexander. 'Ah,'' said the chief, ''it is for
the sake of those innocent cattle that the
Great Being permits the sun to shine, the rain
to fall and the grass to grow in your country

The Spelling School.

Any one who has seen the rivalry of the
contestants in spelling school will ap-
preciate this incident from Edward Eggles.
toms "reminiscences of his school days, pub
lished in the March Scribner. He says:
1t was in the same old Bethel school-house,
about the same time, that the master, one
Benefel, called out the spelling class Of which
my mother, then little girl, was usually at
the head. The word given out was s'onion. {"
l suppose the scholars at the head of the
class had not recognized the word by its
spelling in studying their lessons They all
missed it widely, spelling it in the most in
geniously incorrect fashions. Near the foot
of the class stood boy who had never been
able to climb up toward the head. But of
the few words be did know how to spell, one
was s'onion." When the word was missed at
the head he became greatly excited, twisting
himself into the most ludicrous contortions
as 1t came nearer and nearer to him. At
length the one just above the eager boy miss.
ed, the master said 'snext," whereupon he
exultingly swung his hand above his head
and came out with: ION, IN, ION, yum,
ingun-I'm head. by eosh!" and be marched
TO the head, while the master hit him blow
across the shoulders for swearing.

BABY HAS GONE TO SCHOOL.

The baby has gone to school; ah. me.
What viii the mother do,
With never a call to button or pin.
Or tie little shoe?
How can she keep herself busy all day,
With the little ''hindering thing" away!
Another basket TO fill with lunch,
Another good bye" to say,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away;
And turns with sigh that is half relief.
And half something akin to grief.
She thinks of possible future morn,
When the children, one by one,
Will 60 from their home out into the world,
To battle with life alone,
And not even the baby be left to cheer
The desolate home of that future year.
She picks up garments here and there,
Thrown down in careless haste;
And tries to think how it would seem
II nothing were displaced;
If the house were always as still as this,
How could she bear the loneliness

A Wonderful Motor.

An application was recently made before
the English Patent Office for patent for q
new motor. In the specification that has
been filed it is described as IAN improved ap-
paratus for raising water and obtaining mo-
tive power" The principle upon which this
new motor is founded is that ''an apparatus
raising water twenty feet will raise twenty
times as much water as is necessary to work
itself, less friction, the apparatus being con-
nected with and being worked by water
Wheel" In other words, the inventor has
set out to prove that machine can be made
which will not only work itself, but generate
sufficient power to work any fixed machinery
or propel vessels. Next to perpetual motion,
and kin to it, this new self-acting device, if
its practlcability can be demonstrated, would
be one of the most remarkable yet recorded
in this age of great inventions.

Irish COLONIZATION.

CHICAGO, March 19.-The Irish National
Colonization Conference to-day adopted reso-
lutions expressing satisfaction at the appoint

the existing evil of crowding into large cities

elsewhere encourage and aid this whenever
it Is possible; also recommending that the
committee establish statistical bureau for

A Dog That Forgot How to Bark.

MIR. Darwin might turn to some account a
story which is told in the German papers
about the manner in which an intelligent dog
adapted himself to his condition. A deaf
and dumb lady, living in German city, had
a companion, q younger woman, who was
also deaf and dumb. They lived in small
set of rooms opening on the public corridor
of the house. Somebody gave the elder lady
little dog as q present. For some time,
when anybody rang the bell at the door, the
dog barked to call the attention of the mis-
tress. The dog soon discovered, however,
that neither the bell nor the barking made
any impression on the women, and he took
the practice of merely pulling one of them
by the dress with his teeth, in order to ex-
