Marble time and, Marbles.

There are kite time, toP.tlme, ball'time,
and marble time, and every boy appears 10
know the proper season for each OF these
spofts.s What are the exact dates OF these
stdsens we do not know bu. we know that
q boy of proper principles would no more
be found playing marbles IN toptime than
he would be caught in some mean act. II
We gould learn the early history of marbles
We should fnd that they We're played by
the ancient Romass, and II is very likely
that, boys before tho Christian Era had
their. marble-time, just as you do now. 1t
Is said that marbles are found in the ruins
Of Pompeii, which shows that the game is
very old oLe. In ancient times, the
roundest natural pebbles that could be
found, were used for playing, and it is not
know when manufactured marbles first
came into use. 1t is known that they were
imported in England from Holland in 1920,
api they were no doubt made much earlier
than that.
Some very common marbles are made OF
cl,y and baked. but the best kinds are
made of different kinds of stone, including
marble and agate. Holland and Germany
are the countries which produce nearly all
the marbles that are used. The stone is
broken up into pieces as nearly round as
posslbe. These are then placed between
mill stones, which grind them into shape,
but leave them rough. To make the rough
marbles smooth, they are placed in a wood
en- cask, in which are cylinders Of hard
stone the cask revolves, aud the marbles
by rubbing against these stones, and against
one another, until they become very smooth
The dust formed in this operation is tak'n
out, und emery put in, when the cask IL
again made to revolve, and the marbles sre
uolishcd. Some marbles, are made OF a pui
Gus stone, are dyed, and some very coarse
ones are painted. The finest kind is made c
from agate these are costly, us they arr
made singly, each being ground by maud
by holding it against large grindstone
Marbles are divided into 'taws." MS the
common ones are called, aud "ulleys" ful
the finer ones. Taw is an abrevia tion %

Montana Compared with Dakota.

Here is what tourist through Da
kota writes to his home paper: 81
nm certain that this great Territory,
900 miles long and 500 miles wid.
contains more natural wealth than any
other State or Territory in the Union.
It's the least known, with PERHAPS
the exception of Idaho; but if what
has been discovered of its mineral,
wealth is fair standard, in very
short time the rest of the Union will
have to yield the palm to this favored
section OF our country. Dakota rolls
smoothly away in gentle undula,ions.
not unlike the pillows Of the ocean
Dakota is peculiarly farming coun-
try, while Montana is a mining and
grazing country. From the summit Of
these swells of rolling land in Dakota
the eve becomes faticued with the
sameness of the landscape. Montana
on the other hand is adorned with ma
(est'c scenery of rock and mountain.
IN whose bowels arc secreted every
variety Of metal. About one.half Of
the Territory is mountainous. the
other half being good arabic land
capable OF the highest cultivation.

ADJUSTING THE RATES.

The conference Of railroad man.
ayers, recently in session at San Fran.
cisco, have agreed to consider Port.
land and San Francisco common
points; that through rates from the
East to Portland via San Francisco
or to San Francisco via Portland, shall
tie the same. The Northern Pacific
Is left free to make its own rates on
loca! business in Oregon, and the
southern Pacific is similarly privileged
regarding points in California. The
special contract system is not Il Elected
by the new schedule. A committee
was appointed to adjust differences
arising between companies from VIC.
iat'ons OF the schedule, with power to
impose fines and penalties.
This arrangement will probably
hold good until the Oregon Short
Line shall have secured an outlet to
the Pacific Ocean; but when that time
comes, there will have to be new adj.
)ustment, and that will not be so fa.
vorable to San Francisco as the pres.
ent one.

legged "beauty contest" at dime mu.

gan suit in the Superior court to-day
for $40, 600 damages against John g..
Clark and John McGreer. The plain.
tiff rec,tes in her bill Of grievances
that she is parsonage of Importance
and more than local fame, that her
father was all influential citizen, at one
time State senator, and that she her.
self IS neat, genteel and comely ap-
pearlng lady, and on account thereof,
and OF the social position of her family,
had always been admitted into the
best society of the city of Chicago and
the State of Illinois. She Furthermore
relates that the Dime Museum some
time ago offered prize for the most
beautiful lady, the choice to be de.
termined by u Soonest of beauty"
and the successful contestant to be 4, 4

bella relates that, Sat the solicitation
OF friends she became competitor
for the ROYALTY Of beauty, and was
known as Number Nine,' and on &C.
count of her comcly, gentcel and dig
nltied appearance at the contest she
knocked out all of her opponents in
four rounds, and was declared by tie
votes Of spectators the Queen of
Beauty" Yet, as she alleges, the
defendants, who are publishers of car
toons at No. 233 Dearborn street, in
tending to ridicule and burlcsque her,
made II caricatnre of tn, fair queen.
Miss Arabella AYERS that these carica.

Too Late! Too Late /!

Sush is the solemn heading given
by the State to a vigorous and caus
tic article in regard to the apparent
repentance of Governor Cameron in
regard to the appointments on State
Boards. 1t says
"Too late Governor Cameron, too
late You should have thought OF
these things when you asked for Judge
Wards resignation as one of the visi
tors to the Virginia Military Institute
because be was no longer member of
your party. He could not, you be-
lieved, remain one Of the visitors to
State institution after he had refused
to swear allegiance to the Boss. Why
therefore, do you NOW appoint as
members of the Boards of Visitors to
State institutions gentlemen whom
you know to be Democrats, and whom
you have no reason to believe will
ever waver 10 their political faith -?
"Your Excelleucy must know that
the recent victories of the Democrats,
whom Malone, aud you and other
leaders under Malone, have seen fit to
abandon, and the contempt into which
your allies, the Stalwarts, have fallen,
have placed your party 10 desperate
straits. One by one Democratic Re-
adjusters have discovered the selfish
aud treacherous purposes Of Malone
and have scorned tO follow that petty
tyrant further in his disgraceful car
eer. Senators Newberry, Hale, and
Lybrook, Col. Rufiin, Congressman
Fulkersou, Judge Ward, Judge Rhea,
Col. Lady, aud Judge Goodwin. have
refused TO surrender their manhood TO
tho arrogant caprces of this political
adyenturer. Others will follow their
example. II is too late now for your
Excellency to repair the injuries that
your parry has suffered on account Of
lhe vain and d,spolic nature of its
chief. Too late Too late !
