A packed house greeted the sixth appear
ance Of Miss Putnam at the Opera House

taken as the measure of Miss PutDam's

In one OF his late speeches in Pennsyl.
vania, Gen. Blaine took the position that
the tariff would have to be revised in the
very near future. He took the ground that
as all OF the public debt which would fall
due in this century would soon be paid it
would be an injustice to the people to i'm.
pose the present burden OF taxation upon
them when the surplus revenues OF the gov
ernment could not be applied to the liqui.

truths the Democratic party has been, and
is now, endeavoring to impress upon the

ais I'm Butte for the Week.
Quite q number Of entertainments were
given the past week, besides the Katie Put
nam performances at the Opera House.
This charming little actress is a great ia
vorite in Butte and her appearance here
has called forth q large, cultured. enthusi-
astic and fashionable audience. Ladies' are
busy doing their shopping and getting
ready for the approaching holidays. The
Thanksgiving fowl will soon be ready to be
carved, and after that the Christmas and
New Years festivities seem close at hand.
Shopping 10 surely a feminine diversion. 1t
is useless to try to dignity the subject by
generalization; the most intelligent and
cultured women are those who insist
strongly in the Importance OF dress. Char
acter is indexed by costume. First impress.
sions are thus formed which are not easily
obliterated. Taste and neatness in dress
distinguish the refined from the vulgar.
When q toilet is once completed one can
forget all about it and turn to other
things, but no woman should be unmindful
of her appearance. One of our greatest
historians says: "Dress is characteristic OF
manners, and manners are the mirror OF
IDEAS"
Fashions change in dancing quite as often
as in other things, AND the bellies and beaux
who would dance correctly must freshen
up their knowledge of the terpsichorean art
every year or two.

she has bestowed among her friends for the

to drink and now lives in utter poverty

His two sisters have just died in wretch

dirty and ragged, crouched in corner

Gated. The doctor left medicine, but

had not taken it. She was on the third
floor in a filthy room, quite i'll, but able
to chew tobacco in bed. Margaret,
the other sister, was seventy years old
and suffering from rheumatism and
entirely helpless. The neighbors and
poor authorities were informed, but be-
fore they arrived Sarah had died.
There was no food in the house. Every
thing was filth. The people who pre-

this was going on Margaret died. All

TEMPERANCE.
SONG OF KING ALCOHOL.


What Kaiser, Gar or King since the birthday
of the world
EHad rule so universal as claim?
What cOnquering banner yet was SO far and
rs my ensign of destruction and of shame?
My burning letters bind every race of human
kind;
NY dominion rules their bodies not slone.
But heart and soul and brain are encircsed by
my chain,
And their future as their present is my
own.
Then elInx-a-clink the bottle and chink-a-
chink the glass!
Send the, tankard round, imps, and let the
goblet passl
Ply the fools with whisky and fill them up
Till fiends are hoarse with laughter and
angels stricken dumb.
Talk not to me of Nero, that ancient Roman
His tortured slaves in death at last were
free,
But the serf who bears the sway of bottle or
of glass
Belongs for all eternity to me.
The bravest man who broke human tyrant's
yoke.
If he once began to worship at my shrine,
would submit strength, courage, all of his
manhood to my thrall,
Lose truth and pluck and honor, and be
mine.
Then pass the poison freely, circle round the
drink,
Do not give the drunkard time to even think
In a stupid Slumber let his conscience dwell,
Till, too late, ha! ha! it awakens up in hell!
Despots oft are hated: it is not so with me-
Homage pay NV bondsmen for their pains;
Common helots struggle madly TO be free.
Mine lie down and hug their bitter chains.
My triumph through the years is told in blood
and tears.
On the scaffold, in the dungeons dreary
gloom.
| / whet the nSurderer's knife-rob mother
children, wife
And build my horrid throne upon the tomb
Then let the red wine gurgle, let the whisky

Satan turns the hose ON, for the demons
know
God and Heaven are lost to the fools who
sink
Underneath the sway of that cruel monarch,
Drink!

CAKE-BA KING.

Valuable Practical Suggestions About
Making and Keeping Cakes.
In the making of cake, as all other
things, it is necessary it be done ode
Gently and in order,' and the first
thing to be orderly about is ones self
Let the hair be secured in a net or
other covering, to prevent any from
falling, and faithfully brush the shout
ders and back that none lodge, to fly
here and there. Be very particular
about washing the hands and wrists,
and roll the sleeves we'll above the ell
bows. Have large, clean apron at
hand which will cover the dress. A
good cook will not be over nice about
the style and trimming of her apron,
so that it be of firm material and adapt
ed to herpurpose. Before beginning,
have things ready. BY that [ mean
clear the kitchen table of every thing
not needed, and provide things that are
needed. Have the sugar, butter, eggs,
flour, spices and baking pans at hand
Sift flour and sugar Gf not pulver-
ized), and measure or weigh. In warm
weather let the eggs stand few mo-
ments in cold water, as they will make
a finer froth. Be sure, if possible, that
the eggs are fresh, as no amount of
beating will render them stiff if old.
Beat the yelks thoroughly, and put
whites in a cool place until needed;
then beat in a cool room till the froth
will remain in dish when turned up
side down.
Good butter should also be used.
Nothing is gained by resorting to
cooking butter" as heat develops
latent bad qualities. In very cold
weather the butter may be warmed a
little, but in no case allow it to melt.
In using milk it is we'll to remem-
Der that sour milk makes a spongy,
light cake; sweet milk, one that cuts
like pound cake. With sour milk
soda alone is to be used; with sweet,
baking powder, or soda and cream of
tartar. Never use fresh and stale
milk in same cake. Butter should be
beaten to cream, and sugar added
gradually; next yelks of eggs, then
flour, whites, and lastly the flavoring
or spice.
Do not STIR the cake mixture, but
beat thoroughly. The batter should
be brought up from the dish at every
stroke, in this way driving the air into
the cells instead of out. The cells will
be finer if the motion is slower toward
the last, remembering it should al
ways be upward.
Never beat or mix cake in tin;
earthen or stone-ware should always
be used, and wooden spoon is rec
commended. 1t is better to grease the
pans with lard fresh, nice lard-than
butter Several thicknesses of paper
should be placed in bhe bottom, and a
little cap OF paper over most kinds,
except layer cake. A little cap may be
made of brown paper, and saved for
several bakings.
The oven should receive good share
of attention. Too hot or too cool, and
your cake making or baking is fail
ure. Ii necessary to move the cake
while baking, do it very gently.
Shrinking away from the sides of the
pan and stopping its sinking" are in
dications it is time to leave the oven.
When the cake is removed from the
pan and set away, always place fright
side up.
Finally, tin chest or stone jar is
best to keep it in. and it is well to wrap
closely in napkin, that the aroma be
not lost Eugenie ELdriolge, IN Good
