A Healthy. Beautiful Woman.

Here is q paragraph descriptive OF
TheOd0sia and her whOlesOmeness.
Theodosia makes her appearance of q
morning:
"Perbaps there is no better test of a
woman's health and beauty than hel
appearance when she presents her
self at an early breakfast. She is then
more as nature made her than at any
other period of the day, when art has
been brought in with q view OF
frightening her charms If she has
slept we'll, IL argues to some extent q
sound nervous system, and the effect
is seen in the brightness of her eyes
and the tone possessed by the muscles
of the face and neck. Her
intelligence is then at its maximum,
and she feels the mental r~ecklessness
that is so generally the result of
sound, healthy sleep, and that is only
q natural citation OF the emotions,
pleasant, doubtless, for her t. ex-
bibit, but far more pleasant to those
to whom it is manifested"
The unhealthy woman at break
fast Dr. Hammond dismisses as
follows "Her expression is indica-
tive of the discomforts she has under
gone during the night, her
movements are either painfully slow
or aggravatingly brusque, her intel
lect shows stupidity, her emotions
are torpid, her perceptions dull.
80 There is no better test
of q w0man's health than her ability
to eat q hearty breakfast, and it
might almost be said that her physl-
cal beauty is in direct proportions to
the amount of beefsteak or mutton
chops she can put into herself at this
meal. Certainly, pretty women can
always eat q hearty breakfast"
There can be no doubt but that DR.
Hammond is an expert.-N. Y.

COMPANY: In compliance with your
instructions 1 have bought and chem
ically tested some potatoes and tur-

the articles used by man for food, and
find them to contain the chemical
elements of the soil in which they
grow, and it is my opinion that corn,
-four, potatoes, turnips, cabbages, and
In short, all cereals and vegetables
are unfit for use.
I find that to grow these articles
profitably the greedy, INSCRIPTIONS
farmer mixes with the soil guano,
stable manure, dead fish and the con-
tents of vaults, and to think of using
for food anything produced from
these things, is to utterly disgusting
to be entertained.
l find also that the common air we
breathe and all water, meat and milk
contain ammonia, and yield to the
system more thereof than any baking
powder biscuit ever could, 1 have
therefore prohibited the use of air,

Meeting Of the Presbyterian
Church.

At the call Of the Presbytery Of
Montana, q number of the members
and adherents of the Presbyterian
church of this city met in the church
last evening. Mr. Moore called the
meeting to order and presided. he
said that Presbytery, under the law,
had power to declare that the officers
of any church shall cease to act. He
then requested the officers present to
offer their designations, and declared
all the church offices vacant
He said he was authorized to
explain that this action Of P~resbytery
was not intended as a. censure on
these officers, but was done only
with a view of giving a clear field
for reorganization and in hopes of
making peace.
It was resolved that instead of at
tempting to elect new officers, the
church shall remain as an associa-
ton of Presbyterians, directly under
the care of P~resbytery, and should re-
quest some minister to come and hold
services. There was subscribed
SOL. so for the support of preaching.
The meeting resolved to pledge $125
per month and to ask the home mis-
sionary board to give SIS per month.
TO collect and disburse the money
subscribed and to increase the sub
as we'll as to attend to the
of the church, Messrs. J. r.
Wharton and J. McA uley were ap-
pointed. Rev. Levi M. Scofield was
unanimously requested to come and
preach for six months on the above
terms. The meeting closed with an
exhOrtatiOn to peace and with
prayer.

Oou nty Commissioners.

Last Friday the County Commits
sioners were in session. They made
a thorough examination Of the court
house and Jail with reference to a
final settlement with Mcconnell &
McDavitt. contractors, for extra work
and material used in completing the
work. This examination and the
consideration Of it occupied theiwhole
day.
On Saturday the commissioners
met and made final settlement with
Mcconnell & -McDavitt. The con-
tractors were allowed for extra work,
material, &C., 1856 60, and for gal
vanized iron, plumbing &C.. $7,Sl2.59.
The settlement with J. r. Roberts,
architect, for his services as archi-
tect and superintendent of construc-
ton. was made. He was paid 4 per
cent. of the entire cost of the build
ing. 1891. The commissioners also
ordered mating for the courtroom.
The court house is now completed
and paid for. It's total cost is $l40,-
25O.1l. It is model of neatness and
convenience. It has not its equal
outside of a city of So, 600 inhabitants.
The whole construction, from the
stalking of the ground for the excava-
ton to the last finishing touches Of
the painter, has been under the d.
rect supervision of Mr.. Roberts, the
architect. There is not q faulty
piece of timber in the building, or q
brick out of place. Nothing has
been sighted from the beginning to
the end. The commissioners, too,
deserve credit for their faithful work
in the matter. They began under
ANNOUNCEMENTS, but they have
erected q monument to the wealth,
energy and enterprise of this county
of which all, no matter how they op-
posed it at first, are justly proud.

1t is also the intention of the au-

some Of them is not sufficient to JUS
tify the expense of sending the carts
into the back alleys for that purpose.
When the finances will justify 1t
the city government will put all the
streets under roof 20 as to keep the
roads from getting muddy. In the
winter they will hest the streets with
steam and light them with cleo
tricity. Sewers will at the expense of
the city be run from every house and
connect with the main sewer. A
beautiful little stream Of clear water
will be kept constantly flowing on
each side of every street. A bed Of
grass and flowers shall extend along
the edge of every sidewalk. Only
pure liquors will be tolerated. Moth

City Matters

Our reporter has been dabbling in
city matters again and this is part of
what he has learned about the metro
politan machinery:
From several quarters complaints
have come up that the streets are
fearfully muddy. The authorities
say they cannot help that They did
not make the weather. When they
had the dirt hauled and dumped on
the streets the dirt was not muddy
then, and they did not have water
thrown on the dirt to make it muddy.
So there.
1t is complained that the crossings
are bad. The city dads say that
their boots get just as muddy as those
of any one else when they cross the
streets, and that they do not ask any
one to endure a hardship in that
way that they do not share. !fthose
who complain loudest will come up
and pay their street tax and get all
their friends to come up and pay at
once, then the crossings, and perhaps
the streets. may be speedily put in
good shape.
Here, now, is a secret. Street
Commissioner Mieklejohn is going
to begin work at once on the street
crossings on Main street. If he can
manage to get any further appropri>
atoms for the purpose he will put
crossings in at other places.
Some people seem to think there
has been a great deal of money use
lessly squandered on the streets. If
so, it has been IN this way. The
street tax has been at the rate of s. 90
per man. 1t could be paid in cash
or a days work. Many taxpayers
saved part of their tax by getting
some hummer to work q day on the
road for $3.50. The city lost, at
least, $500 per man on this kind Of
tsxpaying, for invariably the hired
man did not do good or faithful
work, and the city lost the extra
$l.5O rightly due the city.
Another trouble has been this: It
was net until last January that any
special effort was made in the direc-
ton of q street tax. Then the ordi-
nance was passed taxing the male
residents Of the city $500 . year for
street purposes. This tax has been
badly paid, ~ has just been shown.

The Catholic Church.

The services in the Catholic church
last Sunday were particularly inter-
esting. At about 1880 a. M, the
large audience was asked to go out and
In procession follow the bishop and
priests around the building in the
services of consecrating the church.
AS the bishop went around he
sprinkled every part of the building
with holy water, pronouncing a
blessing upon it. The services on
the outside being completed, he went
into the church and going around
the large room sprinkled and
blessed every part Oft. After this cere-
mony pontifical high mass was said,
the bishop officiating. After mass
he delivered a discourse which was
attentively listened to by the large
audience of devout hearers. The
music was conducted by Prof. Jules
Reinhart, a graduate of the conserv-
atory of music of Frankfort-on-the-
Main.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
bishop administered the sacrament
of confirmation to forty-two candi-
dates. After this service he delivered
q lecture on some ofthe mistakes and
mistatements of Ingersol, which
were very interesting. The bishop
used some pretty strong language,
but no stronger than the circum-
stances demanded. and made some
good points On the statement of In
gersoll that all christian ministers
worked only for money, while Inger-
soil was so d~isinterested in his work
of propagating error that he had to
