Wool-growing in Montana has
proveda success. Our wool is rapid
ly gaining favor with the large man
ufacturers for it's fine, strong fibre;
and we confidently expect to see it
rival the Australian and New Zealand
product in a few years. At present,
no wool in the United States COM
mands a price in advance of the
Montana clip. The business is a
safe, as well as profitable one. A
start can be made with a very small
capital, and when once on a solid
footing, a man with ordinary judg-
ment and management cannot fail to
make it a success. Considerable
money has been lost in Montana in
this industry, we admit, but in every
case it can be traced to mismanage-
ment, not to any.defect Of the coun-
try. The only prevalent disease is
scab, which is successfully treated
by the careful master. No business
will take care of itself and the man
who would succeed in this enterprise
must give it his attention.
An Eastern man with a capital of
from 81, 600 to $4,000 can make a
very respectable start. The expenses
to be incurred the first year will ex-
coed those OF the succeeding three.

MONTANA is but little known in the
east as compared with her sister ter
ritories, which have enjoyed the pat
rcnage OF the Northern Pacific rail
road. This great trans-continental
road has, during the past few years
nut forth its best endeagors to attract
settlers on either side of us, but for
reasons best known to themselves
have said but little regarding Mon
fana, possible reserying the best for
the last. During the coming year the
powerful influence of this road will IN
all probability be directed toward
this territory. which, with the advent
of the great Manitoba railroad, will
cause a rush of immigration, perhaps
unprecedented in the history Of the
West. Fortunately Montana is am
ply able to sustain a large population;
her resources are manifold, but little
understood, and as yet almost wholly
x1ndeveloped, with one exception, the
mines, which are the best in the
world. To all, Montana promises a
home, a fair return for their labor,
and a salubrious and health-giving
climate.

A Sigma! That Grace Is Needed.

We must bend before sorrow: but
break we need not. The secret of pain
is not far to seek. Pain is a signal
thrown out by nature that grace is
needed. Pain is remedial. Nature,
ike grace, does her curing by the re-
laNaii9us Of suffer no. The whole ten
dcncy of painstaking is to liberate us
into Joy. The tranSmu:ation of sorrow
into Joy is the law of all normal life in
nature and IN grace. Do you weep to-
dayo Tomorrow You shall rejoice.
The agony II travail is the prelude OF
the highest felicity known il human
life. The mystery OF sorrow is up-
folded IN the open secret Of Calvary.
We forget o;lr pain in the Surcease Of
suffering that wreatheS the hour OF
victory. Their is no sting ut last when
we come into perfect harmony with al
truth. SEE as we are seen. and Know as
we are Christian UH.oN.

Postage Stamp Collecting in France
fFrom the London Telegraph

The mania for collecting postage
stamps seems to be gaining more
ground than ever in France. There is
sull-blown stamp exchange in Paris,
and among the most famous collectors
in France is man who has over O.
million postage stamps preserved in
40 richly bound volumes, and an
other who keeps two clerks employed
in classifying and arranging his enor-
nous collection. Added to this there
are in Paris about l SO wholesale firms
employed in the trade, and one of the
best known of these has lately offered
from 500 to 5000 for certain stamps
of the year 1886. Tuscan postage
stamps dated before 1860 will be paid
for at the rate OF $50 each, while
stamps from Mauritius for the year
1847 fetch $500 and French stamps for
1849 are quoted at $5 each. Sine OF
the numerous collectors of these curl
osities evidently seem to think that
they will be able to hand down to DOS
terity faint efigies which may recall
fallen dynasties and overturned
thrones
