LIfe In a Montana FrontIer Town.

The following amusing description
of the mixed life of frontier town
is from e. V. Smalley's paper on "Ths
New Northwest" in the Century:
The picturesque features of life in a
Western Montana town like Missoula
are best seen as evening approaches.
Crowds of roughly-clad men gather
around the doors of the drinking s5-
looms. A group of Indians, who have
been squatting on the sidewalk for
two hours playing some mysterious
game Of cards of their own invention,
breaks up. One of the squaws throws
the cards into the street, which is
already decorated from end to end with
similar relics of other games. An
other swings a baby upon her
back, ties a shawl around it and
herself, secures the child with strap
buckled across her chest and strides
off, her moccasined feet toeing inward
in the traditional Indian fashion. She
wears gown made of scarlet calico
bedquilt, with leggings of some blue
stuff; but she has somehow managed
to get civilized dress for the child.
They all go off to their camp on the
hill near by. Some blue-coated soldiers
from the neighboring military post, re-
membering the roll-call at sunset,
swing themselves upon their horses
and go galloping off, little the worse
for the bad whisky they have been
drinking in the saloons. A miner
in blue 'woolen shirt and brown
Of
tonishing dimensions and beard Of
years growth, trots up the street on
mule, and, with droll oaths and shuf-
fling talk, offers the animal for sale to
the crowd of loungers on the hotel
piazza. No one wants to buy, and,
after provoking a deal of laughter the
miner gives his ultimatum: "Fll hitch
the critter to one of them piazZer
posts, and if he don't pull it down you
may have him." This generous offer
is declined by the landlord; and the
miner rides off, declaring that he has
not solitary four-bit piece to pay for
his supper, and is bound to sell the
mule to somebody.
Toward nightfall the whole male
population seems to be in the street,
save the busy Cinnamon in the laun-
dries, who keep on sprinkling clothes
by blowing water out of their mouths.
Early or late, you will find these indus
trious little yellow men at work. One
shuffles back and forth from the hy-
drant, carrying water for the morning
wash in old coal-oil cans hung to
stick balanced across his shoulders.
More Indians nova "buck" and
two squaws, leading ponies heavily
laden with tent, clothes and buff
falo robes. A rope tied around
a pony's lower jaw is the ordi-
nary halter and bride of the Indians.
These people want to buy some article
at the saddler's shop. They do not go
in, but stare through the windows for
five minutes. The saddler, knowing
the Indian way Of dealing, pays no at
tention to them. After a while they
all sit down on the ground in front of
the shop. Perhaps quarter Of an
hour passes before the saddler asks
what they want. If he had noticed
them at first they would have gone
away without buying.

A Burning Lake.

There is in Russia a fountain of
naphtha which has formed lake four
miles long by over a mile wide, and
two feet deep. This sheet of inham-
mable oil recently took fire, including
the central fount, and the effect was
most imposing. The quantity of
naphtha on fire was estimated at four
and half million cubic feet, and it
was feared that the flames would eX-
plOde the subterranean sources. Even
the earth saturated with oil was on
fire, but no explosion occurred. The
heat was intOlerable except at a dis
tance of 1000 yards from the edge of
the fire, and the trees and buildings
within three miles of it were coated
with thick layer of SCOT.

A Hunter,s EXTRAORDINARY shot.

The Santa Fe On. M. NelOS tells the
champion hunting story of the season.
II. j. Sheldon left his camp at Cooper
City, on the Pecos, New Mexico, last
Saturday afternoon in search of game.
Saturday night he camped at the up
per forks of the river, and Sunday,
bright and early, was again on the
march. About o'clock in the after
noon the burro, which had wandered
ahead, came running back, apparently
in great terror, ears and tail erect,
eyes glaring, making that peculiar
mournful sound for which its species
is noted, and refusing to be caught or
comforted. Not being able to make
out from the report of the confused
burro Just what had happened, Mr. 5.
cooked his gun and advanced slowly
and cautiously on the unknown enemy.
Crawling along on his hands and knees
for about a quarter of mile, he at
length doubled a bend in the river, and
there, standing in full view in the
meadow, and not more than $50 yards
away, he saw huge grizzly bear with
three cubs, and, just beyond the bear
and in direct range with her, an animal
that he at once recognized as the long
sought-for elk. Neither of the beasts
were aware of his approach, so, quietly
risingupon one knee and resting his rifle
across the other, which is Mr. SIS favor
ite position in shooting, he took a de-
liberate aim. Bang went the gun, away
sped the bullet and down fell two ami
mals-in fact, three-the bear, the elk
and Mr.. S. himself The bullet had
cut the backbone of the bear COM
pletely in two, and passing through
had lodged in the heart of the elk, and
the extraordinary task to which the
rifle had been subjected produced such
a violent recoil that the hunter him
self was stretched fiat upon the ground.
Recovering himself speedily, Mr.. 5.
advanced upon the prey, hunting-knife
in hand, but life was extinct in both
animals. The little cubs on hearing
the report of the gun fled, but being
only few weeks old were speedily
captured, tied in bags and fastened on
the back of the horse.

Autumn.

Autuluus
Summer is dead; and the autumn winds
weeping,
Wall amid the leaves that lately were green,
And tell how the year is with feeble steps
creeping
To join with the numberless years that
have been.
When the sunshine was bright, and the birds
softly singing,
We dreamed not of cold, or the slky's chill
ing mien;
We saw not how swiftly the glad hours were
winging;
We heard but sweet voices with happiness
ringing.
Summer is dead, and tho years hopes are
dying, 5
The hopes that were bright when the
spring tide was young;
When we each came with eagerness forth to
life's trying,
With step that was firm and heart that
was strong.
And what can we bring as the cause of life's
failing?
Was the daylight too dim and the darkness
oOO louBF
We're the storm-waves too wild for the ships
sailing;
Was the helmsman unnerv'd by the winds
and their wailing?
Summer is dead; ay, but springtide is
coming, !.
And the leaves that are yellow, and brittle,
and dead
Win revive once again when the flowers are
blooming,
And the boughs will wave green once more
over our head.
VIII the hopes then revive that are now
swiftly waning2
Win the life come again that is now nearly
sped?
Shall we hear once agni tho worlds mirth
and complainingH
Alb. that must be left for deaths certain ex-
planning.

Science of Perfumes.

By process known as enfleurage,
which is the exposure of beef fat to
fresh flowers in close boxes until it is
thoroughly permeated and charged
with their odOrs, the perfumes of six
flowers are obtained, which could in
no other manner known to science be
preserved apart from the fresh petals.
Those flowers are violet, jasmin, tube
rose, rose, orange flower and cassie
cinnamon flower). From these six
there are fifty or more combinations
made for the stimulation of the odors
of other flowers. Sweet pea is made
with jasmin and orange flowers, hya-
cinth is counterfeited by jasmin
and tuberose; lily of the val
ley by violet and tuberose. But the
resources of the perfumer are by no
means confined to the pomades, as the
scented fats are termed. He uses many
essential oils, the principal of which
are sandalwood, bergamot, lemon, rose
mary, neroli (made from bitter orange
flOwers), paschouli and the altar of
roses. 1t is very difficult to get the
last named in pure state, because
its great cost tempts to dishonest adul-
teration. Very often rose-geranium
oil is substituted for it. Musk is an
other important ingredient, entering as
it does into almost all perfumes, ex-
cept those which are actually imita-
tions of flower Odors, or as styled by
perfumers, natural as, for instance,
heliotrOpe, tuberose, white rose and
violet

A BOYS STORY.

1t all came of my having railway
key and being made to take music les
sons.
Thompson gave me the key when
he was leaving last term. 1 don't
know how he came by it, or what good
1t was to him, as he never saw train
except when he went home for the
holidays; but he was always talking of
the convenience of having such a
thing when you are travelling, and
limiting at the mysterious penalties the
company might inhict if they caught
you using it.
He gave it to me in exchange for a
bit of Letty's hair (she's my sister,
and Thompson was dreadfully in love
with herr and a scrap of the bonnet
trimmings she wore in church. Istole
that, but had to ask her for the hair.
and she brought out whole bundle
and said might trade away the lot if
chose. "Hair wasn't worn much
now"
Music was another thing altogether
Herr Otto Finke was an old friend of
my fathers, and lived at Luckboro,
our market town.
He took fancy to me-bother me-:
and actually persuaded my father and
mother to let ME come over to Luck
boro' every market day. with my
father, for a lesson in German and
music. didn't mind dining with him
first (uncommonly queer messes we
had, and lots of jam with them but
the music was simply disgusting in
the holidays, tcol)-and the lessons
generally ended by Finke getting to
the piano himself and warbling songs
of his Vaterland by the hour. He did
so once too often though-and now 1
have got to my story.
We used to come and go between
Mosslands and Luckb0ro' by omnibus.
There was a Mosslands station on the
line between Luckboro and London,
but my father never went by it if he
could help it. When he did, though l
had the key with me / never dare use
it, and began to think had made a
bad bargain with Thompson.
One Tuesday, however, last winter,
Finke got so carried away by his own
sweet singing that he kept on long
