Rumors have arrived in the Belt noun
yains Of the discovery Of placer diggings
in the Crazy Woman mountains, between
Musselshell and the Yellowstone rivers.
This took place three Weeksag These
mountains have been we'll known for ten
years AS being the recepticle Of mineral de-

house of Montana, Messrs. Murphy, Neel i
Go. at seeing the immense stock Of liquors
and cigars theT had on hand and speaking
from experience we &an say that their
liquors have the vengeuce Of Hades, with
the softness OF the peach, while their
cigars are noted for the fragrancy of their
perfume, and lie who smokes them
"thinks like a philosopher, and acts like
Cod. Ofpure Kentucky whiskes, amongst
many others they have those celebrated
brands known the world over, and mantt-
factured By Z. A. Taylor, Jr., distilllne
company, of Frankfort, Ky, stTaylor's @.

and are the sole agents tor the sale of the
"O'Donnell Blue Ribbon @. K" whiskey.
They also have fine assortment of "Our

known to the liquor trade. They deal very
extensively in cigars in addition to their

How To Buy A HoRsE-An old horse
man, speaking on this subject, says IF
you want to buy q horse, don't believe your
own brother. Take no mans word for it.
Your eye is your market. Don't buy a horse
in harness. Unhitch him and take every
thing of but his halter, and lead him around.
1.-The has n corn, or is stiff, or has any other
failing, you can see it. Let him go by him
self n little ways, and if he slaves right
into anything you may know he Is stone
blind. No matter how clear and bright
his eyes are, he can't see any more than n
bat. Back him up, too. Some horses show
their weakness or tricks in that way when
they don't in any other. But, be as smart
as you can, you'll get caught sometime.
Even an expert gets stuck. A horse may
look ever so nice, and go a mile a minute,
and yet have fits, for instance. There isn't
a live man could tell it till something hap
pens. Or he may have a weak back. Give
him the whip and off he goes for u mile or
two, then, all of a sudden, he sits down in
the road. After a rest he gets up and
starts again, but he soon sits down for good,
and nothing but n derrick could mise him

Look steadily ut q bright object, keep the
eyes mmoyably on it for n short time, and
then close them. An image of the object
remains il becomes, in fact, visible TO the
closed eyes. The v%iyidness and duration
of such impression vary considerably with
different individuals, and the power of re-
tanning them may be cultivated. Beside
this sort of retinal image thus impressed,
there is another kind of visual image that
may be obtained by an effort of memory.
Certain adopts of mental arithmetic use
the minds eye ms a substitute for slate
and pencil by holding in visual memory
pictures of the figures upon which they
are operating, and these of their results.
In my youthful days I was acquainted
with an eccentric old Iian, who then lived
ut kilburn PriOry, where he surrounded
himself with curious Did furniture, reput-
cd to nave originally belonged to Cardinal
Wolsey, and which, rs I was told, he be-
queathcd to the Queen at his death. He
was the then celebrated, but now forgotten,
Memory Thompson" who, in his early
days, was n town traveller (for n brewery, if
| remember rightly and who trained him
self to the performance of wonderful feats
of eye memory. He could close his eyes
and picture within himself n panorama of
Oxford street and other parts of London,
in which picture every inscription over
every shop was so perfect and reliable that
he could describe and certify to the names
and occupations of the shopkeeping inhab-
itants of all the houses of these streets ut
certain dates, when p~ostofice directories
were not rs they now are. Although
Memory Thompson is forgotten, his special
faculty is Just now receiving some atten-
ton, and it is proposed to specially cult
vate it in elementary schools by placing
objects before the pupils for given time,
then taking them away n requiring the
pupil to draw them. That such Il faculty
exists and may be of great service is un-
questionable. Systematic efforts to educate
it, if successful, will do good service to the
rising generation and, even should the
proposed training ml-r d smaller results
than its projectors anticipate, the expert
ments, il carefully made and registered,
cannot fail to improve our knowledge of

Glycerinc.

The name is derived from n Greek word
signifying Sweet and has reference to
taste. As oil consists of acids aud glyce-
rine, the latter is obtained by separating
the oil-the same is true of fat-into its
component parts.
The uses Of glycerine are becoming more
and more extended and valuable. There
is no application that is better han a few
drops rubbed daily over the hands, to keep
them moist and smooth. The hands
should be first moistened with water, as
the glycerine otherwise absorbs moisture
from the skin.
Glycerine and carbolic acid-three
ounces of the former to fifteen grains of
the latter-are among the most effective
applications for chapped hands, and equal
ly for II scuriy skin. 1t may be used two
or three times a day.
Glycerine is is also said to be exceeding
ly effective in some cases of piles. A gen.
tleman who had suffered from them for
years, and whose case appeared to defy
medical treatment, was cured by taking it
daily with his food. A dose would be
from a half to whole tablespoonful.
Writers in the London Lancet strongly
recommend it for acidity of stomach. Its
use for this trouble was first discovered by
n private gentleman, who had long been a
sufferer from it. Having read in the pa
per that gIycerine kept milk from souring,
he said to himself, why won't it keep
me Pr
He tried it with complete success, and
vas able thenccforth to take food from
which he had been forced to abstain. 1t
was subsequently employed by physicians
with like results.
1t does not remov acidity it only pre-
vents its occurrence. Take from n tea
spoonful to a tablespoonful Immediately
after eating; or take it in the tea in place
of sugar.
