On an important test vote in the House of Representatives a few days ago, it ap- peared that there were one hundred and twenty members absent, or about two -tifths of the whole number Members of Con gress are munifcently rewarded for their services, and have no more right to ab- sent themselves from their duties than have the poorly paid employees of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, who are compelled to lose their pay for every moment they are absent. In referring to this abuse the New York San says: Ii is Eot difficult to find remedy for the scandalous system by which members of Congress are paid for doing nothing or for prolOnging absence from Washing ton, while engaged in their own private business. 4 rule requiring the names ot absentees to be read every morning, as the first part of the journal, would soon attract the attention of their constituents and put an end to a practice which has become serious impeachment Co the pub lie business, and is gross wrong to faith ful members who never shirk duty, nor resort 10 misrepresentation to escape the penalty of absenteeism without excuse."- U S.

Utah South ern Extension

The Bodie StcnGa,d says:
 The extension Of the Utah Southern Railroad is now completed to point about thirteen miles beyond Juab, but trains are running regularly only as far as Juab, 105 miles distant from Salt Lake. The grading and filling in Sevier Canyon will be very heavy, and for the present track laying will not be prosecuted very vigorously; as soon as these difficulties are overcome the road will be pushed for ward at the rate of one mile day. The people of the Horn Silver mine have a fourth interest in this extension, the length of which, when completed to Frisco. will be 130 miles, making the total length of the two roads 235. 1t is prob able that, as measure of economy, the roads will be consolidated under one man. agement soon after completion.

golden-hued butter, with plump filed seeds

looking ball. Its weight was estimated BY
many Of the best judges at ten pounds, and
was as fresh and fragrant to the smell as
spring blown daisy. 1t was the unheard of
novelty more than the surprising beauty of
the sight that raised the enthusiastic out
burst of the crowd as they viewed this re.
markable blending Of farm and dairy pro-
duce. The "mea" of the squash, in rich
ness of color, equaled that of the butter
ball, and, after everybody had had fair
chance to see and satisfy themselves of the
genuineness of both, and investigate to
their hearts content the unique exhibit, it
will be divided up and parcelled out 10 a
dozen or more parties, to whom also will be
given portions of the butter for trial. Mr..
johnson receives from the citizens of Hele-
ma special premium of $50 for this rarest
specimen of "bu,ter squash" ever raised
by hand, or. for that matter, by natures own
process We think it will be generally
acknowledged wondrous product, the
counterpart Of which has probably never
before been seen or heard of in Montana or
in any other part of the world.

siderably the smallest bulb, O! several of

this squash was accidentally severed
from its vine by the tread of farm EN-.
ploye. Mr.. johnson dcpIored the accident,
the vegetable being favorite aud the
first 10 set from the blossom, and he en-.
tertained great expectations of it. The
hired man, seeing his distress, suggested
that the squash be taken and raised by
hand. johnson confessed he did not know
what that meant. Il will grow and ma
ture it ii you will furnish the milk," was
the responsp. "Go ahead and do it," said
johnson, who smiled grimIy. thinking
that the Yankee hired man was disposed
to play "josh" on HIM. The 'orphan vege
table," with the stem and few inches of
the vine left intact, was taken TO the house
and deposited In u garret room. where it
could get sun bath part of each day. The
stem was wound with several layers of
cotton cloth. and this was submerged in q
dish of new milk morning and evening.
The squash fed hungrily on the lac,eal
fluid. On the start it absorbed pint of
milk in q few hours. This was presently
increased to quart, and twice day it was

Train the Boys for Business

The1e is one element in the house in
struction Of boys 10 which, says Boston
paper, too little attention has been given,
and that is the cultivation Of habits OF
punctuality, system, order, and responsi
bility. In too many households boys from
twelve to seventeen years old. are too
much administered to by loving mothers
Or other female. members Of the family.
Boys lives during those years ar the
halcyon days Of their existence. Up ia
the morning just in season for breakfast !;
nothing to do but to start off early enough
not to bs late looking upon an errand
as taking 50 much time and memory
away from enjoyment, except when re
minded by the mother to "spruce up a
little finding his wardrobe always where
mother puts tin fact, having nothing to
do but enjoy himself.
Thus his life goes on till school ends.
Then he is ready for business. He goes
into an office where everything is system,
order, precision. He is expected TO keep
things neat and orderly, sometimes kindle
fires. file letters, do errands-in short,
become a part ot nicely regulated ma
chine, where everything moves in syste-
matte grooves, and each one is responsf-
ble for correctness in his department. and
where instead oil ministers 10 his comfort,
be finds task masters more or less tenient
to be sure, and everything in marked
contrast TO his previous life.
In many instances the change IS toe
sreat. Errors become numerous /; blund
ers, overlooked, at first, get to be q mat
ter Of serious moment then patience il
overtasBed, and the boy is told that hi
services are no longer needed. This il
his first blow, and sometimes ne neve
rallies from it. Then comes the surprise
to the parents, who too often ineyer kuov
the real cause, nor where they have faile'
in the training Of their children.
What is wanted is for every boy t
have something special to do 70 hay
some duty at defnate hour, and to lear
to watch for that time TO come to b
answerable for certain portion Of tn
. routine Of the household; to be traine
to anticipate the time when he may ente
the ranks Of business, and be fortified wit
