Artesian Wells in the Far West

Virginia City (Neoddd) Enterprise.
The people of Montana are fully alive to
the value of artesan wells. They have
great tracts of land that can be made to
''blOSS0m as the rose" if artesian water
can be obtained. From the configuratiOn
of the country they feel quite confident
that artesian wells will prove successful
in nearly all the places where there is
now lack of water on the surface of the
ground. They have set about boring test
wells. These experiments are being made
by companies. If they prove successful
they will be a safe guide for individuals
| and small communities of men of limited
| means. At Billings is the Montana Arte-
sian Well Company, and at Helena the
Helena Artesian Well Company.
In regard to this last named company
the Helena Herald says: "They have re-
ceived their engine, steam lower tools
and rigging, and have them on the ground
ready for operation. The place selected
for the Helena well is on East Broadway,
near the reservoir, beyond Dry Gulch,
where the derrick will soon be raised and
the machinery put to work. The company
has secured the services of two expert
enced drillers from Bradford, Pa, and one
of them, Mr.. Clarke, has full charge. 1t
has been claimed that anywhere upon the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains, in Mon
tana, flowing water would be found at a
depth of less than 800 feet. From the
many successful wells lately constructed
in Colorado, we have no doubt that a
Helena well will prove the truth of our
expectations. The location is perhaps as
good as could be found within the city
limits. and we will soon have the satisfac-
ton Of seeing flowing water from the top
of the first artesian well in Helena, very
much to the joy OF our neighbOrs on East
Broadway and throughout the city,
The Helena folks seem to be going at
the work in good earnest and in good
shape, as regards their plant. The result
will be of much interest to the people of
Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and other States
and Territories, as well as to the Montana
folks.
In Nevada an experiment of the same
kind is being made at White Plains, and
it is likely to prove successful. The
White Plains we'll is being sunk in salt
field. The first water found was quite
salt, and was tubed out, but at the depth
of over 1,400 feet pure fresh water has
been found. As yet it does not rise to the
surface, but the boring will be continued,
and no doubt flowing well will finally
be obtained. Where this well is being
sunk is probably as unfavorable ground
as could be found i'll the State.

MADAMs SECRETS.
Maids Who are Confidantes of Their
Mistresses.


The lady's maid with the white can is
more common than the valet. All of the
more prominent actresses have maids.
and nearly all leading society ladies have
them also. One of the most noticeable re-
suits of foreign travel is the acquisition of
the lady's maid. These maids are often
maids-of-all-work, and occupy the dual
capacity of maid and companion or conf
dante. A well known actress gives all
her letters to her maid to answer; indeed,
except to legal documents, she seldom
takes pen in hand, as her education was
neglected in early life, and she is not
skilled either in chirOgraphy, syntaX, or
etymolOgy.
There is great difference in ladies'
maids, according to their nationality.
The foreign ladies' maids, French, Swiss,
or English, seem to be born to occupy the
position, and are subserVient and defer
ential, and, it may be added, sycOphantic.
The cOlOred maids are the most affection
ate and reliable. The maids selected
from poor families are the most intell-
gent, and at the same time most indie
pendent. The French and Swiss maids
generally succeed in eliciting the conf
dence OF their mistresses, and occupy the
position of confidante, though mercena-
ry, and 1t is dangerous to trust them with
valuable secrets.
The position of gOverness or companion
must not be cOnfOunded with that of la
dies maids, though they are in the fam
lies OF the parvenu, and at the hotels
where companion can ride in the ele-
Vator, the maid not being permitted
therein, but compelled to walk up and
down stairs the same as the other SER
wants. The gOyerness and companion are
generally ladies Of position in reduced
circumstances, who are every way fit as
socrates of those who employ them. and
often superior in every respect to them
excepting social position and resources.
The gOVerness or companion is permitted
to dress to suit her taste, while the lady's
maid is compelled to wear the white linen
cap and the plain garb of the household
subordinate.
Ladies' maids are generally Young wO-
men, past %, or elderly women, chlldless
widows Of deceased BARRIERS, or walters,
or grooms. Their functions are Identical
IN regard to the ladies who employ them
as those OF the valet toward his master,
only more confidential and more social, as
the two former are brought more together
and more intimate than tine latter, and
consequently intercourse is more familiar,
Ladies' maids have much leisure, and 90
ing about with their mistresses have a
much pleasanter time than the other SER
wants, who have only their hebdOmadal
day off" tor personal enjoyment.
The remuneration of the lady's maid de-
pends on circumstances and disposition
of the employer. Some are generous and
clOthe the maid we'll: while others are
close-fsted and consider the position so
attractive that small wages should salts
ty. The lady's maid must be more rig
orOus and decOrOus in her life than anv
other of the servants. She is exposed to less
temptation, and it is seldom one hears of
lady's maid involved III scandal.

Machinery and Labor.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson says that it
takes 100000 men, women and chill
dren to make the cotton cloth, the
use of which is now enjoyed by the
people of the United States, who are
the best clothed people in the world.
If those who do this work were oblig-
ed to use machinery no more effective
than the spinning wheel or hand loom
it would require, he computes, 49,
100000 persons continuously employ
ed ten hours day to do the necessary
work.
In referring to the matter, the
Scientific american asks where are
those 15,S4O,O00 people thus thrown
out of employment-what are they
doing? In every department of pro-
ductiye labor, machinery has been
and is having corresponding effect.
The displaced millions of mythical
hand workers cannot have starved to
death, or have been otherwise exter-
minated, for there has been a rapid
increase of population in all manu.
featuring countries, and the average
length of human life is greater than
it used to be.
The obvious truth--obvious, that
is, to all who can see things as they
are-is that so far from dispIacing
labor, or the demand for it, labor
saving machinery furnishes more and
more varied opportunities for remu-
nerative work, larger pay for the
worker, and cheaper products for the
worker to enjoy.

Scobelef's Test Of the Sentry.

AS disciplinarian he was firm
and strict. No point was too minute
to be overlooked. Scobeleff's videttes
were never caught Mapping. His
knowledge of the detail of military
duty was universal. Administration
of the discipline of his corps occurs to
me. | had been talking with him of
military breech- leaders and discuss
sing the merits of various systems.
Taking "Berdan," with which the
troops were lately armed, from a
soldier, he undld the breach and lock
and explained the mechanism with
the precision of a gunsmith. Re-
turning the rifle to the soldier, he
turned, walking up to sentry a few
passes distant, he said: "Let me see
your Understanding his hand as he
spoke. The man saluted and re-
pied: ~ cannot, your excellency."
"But l want to see fit is clean," per-
sisted the General. II cannot, your
excellency," again said the sentry, as
firm as rock. Scobeleff smiled,
pulled his ears and walked on. 1
asked an explanation, whereupon he
said that rule of war with him was
that no sentry on duty was on any
account to give up possession of his
arms-not even to the Gar himself.
But" said I, suppose the sentry
had given up his rifle when you were
seemingly so serious in asking it.
What then ?" "He would have been
shot," quietly replied The General,

A Husband and a Mule.
Texas Siftings.

Texas Siftings.
Not long since Wakefield Starkey,
OF Austin, while crossing the track of
the international and Great North
ern railroad on valuable mule. was
struck ny a locomotive and killed.
The mule was also hurled into eter-
nifty. Wakefield Starkey, although
a perfect gentleman on the street, was
a perfect tyrant of the deepest dye.
Wlthout any provocation whatever,
he USED to beat his wife and lock her
up In the wardrobe; hence, when
she heard Of his death, 1T was not so
much case of heavy bereavment as
1t was OF mitigated affection. As the
engineer OF the locomotive was clear.
ly to blame for the accident, it was
suggested to the widow that she
bring a suit for damages. She re-
solved to do so, and called as the of
flee OF the railway company. The
proper official happened to be in.
The widow had such a clear case
against the company that it was
deemed advisable to compromise the
matter.
NOW, madam" said the official,
after havingthrown back her veil and
stated her business, 1--WE are willing
to do what is fair in this matter.
There Is really no occasion to go to
law. 1t lisa delicate subject to dis
cuss, so think, without going into
the merits Of it. l will tender you a
check for $4,000, and you will sign a
paper releasing the company from all
further demands"
The widow started, and asked,
"How much?'
81 am authorized to pay you 49,
OOO."
81 accept it," she said, very much
agitated. The check was handed
over, the papers signed, and the wild
ow walked out into the street in a
bewildered frame of mind. AS she
cashed the check she said to her con-
fidentially; Il didn't expect tc get
more than 500. Ireckon that railroad
fellow didn't know how old that mule
was"

A Bill to Prevent Strikes.

HARRISBURG, PA, Jan. 15.-Sena-
tor Wallace. at the session of the
Senate tonight, introduced an act to
authorize the creation of and to pro.
vide for the regulation of voluntary
tribunals to adjust disputes between
employers and employees IN the iron,
steel and coal trades. The bill pro-

The apple crop, Notwithstanding
the almost total failure of it in some
localities, has been good in many
others, so that, take the country
through. the crop is regarded as a
fair one, though by no means equal
to that of 1880. But prices are ruling
high, and will probably be higher
before long. For the foreign demand
is large, over $4,000 barrels being ex-
ported recently in one week. And
the dryers now use immense guam
titles, the demand for "eyaporated"
apple growing larger every year.

Mountain Lake Park Items.

Vidi has not lost his sight, yet he
sees but little of which to write. Dur
ing the past month but little work
has been dCne.
The digging of we'll on Miss Wat
sons lot was commenced near the
close of last year, which, hope, will
soon connect the fall work with the
spring rush, which it is sure to be
from the amount of work to be done.
Mrs. l. j. Spiker has recently
bought lot and expects to build a
cottage early in the spring.
Mr.. Burley has gathered a splendid
crop of ice off the new lake, which
will give an ample supply to this as
well as other places where it may be
needed.
Some of the streets and drives have
just been surveyed by Mr.. Burley, to
ascertain the cost of opening and
grading them, which will be COM
menced early in the spring.
Mr.. Sperry is fitting up his waiting
room and Office, at the station, which,
he says will, with the postoffice,
ticket and express offices, give him
all that he can attend to. This will
afford some one an opportunity to
rent his store room,
VIDI.
All Is peace and quiet at the Park.
After an absence of about two weeks
we have returned with the feeling
"there is no place like home," though
it be in sight of so many vacant
houses. Winter has cast her robe of
spotless white over the Park and
stilled the noise of the carpenters saw
and the masons' hammer. But when
in few months hence the robe of
white Is changed to that of green, the
surrounding country will echo again
with noise of tools in busy hands
building and enlarging cottages, for
the entertainment of the thronging
crowds that early in the season will
be seen making their way to this at
tractive aud healthy place.
