A Social Lesson.

Young Spoonogle never knows when to leave when he calls on a young lady; he likes the sound of his own voice so well that he talks on and on, while the poor girl grows ligh,-headed with the tax on her strength, and wishes the mantle-piece of Elijah would falron the tiresOme caller.
 There is a young lady on La fay-tie avenue who made up her l mlnd to give Spoonogle lesson. So, last Sunday night, when he called, she was aS cordial as pos siMe up to II a'clOck. Then hav- ing had four volume history of Spoonogle's life, with an extend ed account of his influence in politics and business, she began got d zzy, and have ringing in her ears. At that moment her young brother rushed into the room, and exclaimed hurritdly: "Pa wants the morning papers, sis!'
 "LO0k in ths vestibule. Willie" she answered gently. "I think l heard the boy leaving them some hours ago"
 Spoonogle never took the hint, but drawled on about the roller skating rink, and what figurs he cut on skates. The next in- terruptiOn was from the head Of the house, who entered briskly rubbing his hands.
 "Good mOrning-good morn ing he said cheerly. "Ha! SpoO- nogle, you're out early. Well, 'eaiiy bird,' etc. It's going to be a fine day from all appearances.
 Spoonogle was dized, but con- cluded. the old man had been drinking, and sat back with a "come one, come all, this rock shall fly from it's firm base as soon as yours truly" air that was decided and convincing.
 A half hour passed, and the mother hurried in.
 "Dear me. Pm late," she said as she entered. 1T smelIed the coffee an hour ago, and knew breakfast was waiting. but-oh Good morning, Spoonogle" 1 then the sweet youth took the hint, and drawing himself togath' CT, be gat,out into the hall and opened the front door just as the hired girl rung bell, sand the small boy yelled "Breakfast"ovel the banisters.-Free Press.

On the 7th day ofihe 7th month d holy observance WAS ordained tO the children of Israel, Who feasted 2 days, and remained z days in tents. The 7,h year was directed to be a Sabbath of rest for all things: and at the end 0f Hines 2 years commenced the grand jubilee; every 7th year the land lay follow; every 7th year there was grand release from siI debts. and bondsmen were set free. From this might have originated the custom of binding men tn 2 yeais' apprenticeship and of punishing incorrigible of tenders by transportation for 2, twice 2 or three times 7 years. Ancien.ly a child was not named before days, not being accounted fully to have life before that per iodical day; the teeth spring oui on the 7th month, and are shed in the 7th year when infancy is changed into childhood.

OF the milling qualities of the hard wheat
grown in our Territory. Some crops have
been ground but they were mixed with 9th

We are inclined to favor the Fife wheat-do
not believe it will become soft by Montana
culture, and believe that its superiority in
quality will be stand off for any lack in
yield, and would counsel oar farmers to con

The soft wheats grown in our Territory this
year ripened well, and our mills are.turning

gaining its former popularity. Yet for all
this we recognise the fact that Scotch Fife
wheat will make little the best flous of any
yet grown, and us Montana wants to be up

to keep up the experiment. We feel con-
tident that grain that will grow upon the
dry hills of Dakota will succeed equally as
well here. Possibly we may have to be
content with lighter yield than we are
used to from the varieties now in use. But
should it prove to be a superior Touring
