depot is within few hundred yards Of
the townsite. Mr.. Erskine, who is an en-
terprising merchant and has an extensive
store which is doing large business, in
tends to establish in the new town a mod
el creamery, which will use the separator
process. The townsite OF St. Clair has
been plated upon a modern scale and
with a view to the location there Of a
flourishing town. Already many lots
have been secured in this town, which
starts out with good auspices and bids
fair to become one Of the most prosper
Gus places in the county. 1t has good
basis for trade in the growing importance
Of the Chestnut valley, which makes
large wool and stock shipments, and buys
largely farm and household supplies.
The new town has five broad avenues,
namely, Columbus, Michigan, Broadway,
Franklin and Chestnut. Streets run at
right angles to the avenues. Among
those which have received names are,
Clair, Tecumseh and Frederick. For the
information of people it may be added
that St. Clair is about 20 miles from Great
Falls and is convenient to the Montana
Central which connects Great Falls with
Helena and Butte.

Dogs as Motive Power in Germany.

Some philanthropist in Germany
should send his name ereverberating down
the ages as the friend and protector OF
overworked dogs. The condition of
these poor animals throughout Germany,
writes Blakley Hall in the New York
Sua, is a blot upon nineteenth century
civilization. They passed law in Eng
land prohibiting the u:e of dogs for
dragging vehicles, but there is no such
law IN Germany. A customary sight is
a woman seventy five years of age har-
messed to a cart with two dogs, drawing
it wearily along country roads or through
the streets of the cities. Very often the
woman gives it up or is too feeble to
bear her share, and then she varies the
journey by alternately pushing the cart
and whipping the dogs as she walks by
their side. A cart about the size of
street cab in New York, and often
loaded to the height of five or six feet
by merchandise, is the usual load foc an
old woman and two dogs. A cart of
smaller dimensions is often dragged by
the dogs alone, and sometimes ont poor
beast is seen struggling along unl Ter
load that an American would consider
up to the powers of an average horse.
The dogs are Of all sorts OF breeds, but
invariably large aud strong. They are
muzzled-for they grow savage under
their harsh treatment-and are harnessed
good deal after the fashion of horse.
The faithfulness and industry of the
poor creatures are wonderful They
will toll along the dusty roads straining
every muscle in their bodies until they
drop dead in their tracks, and dead dog
by the roadside in this county are by no
means uncommon. At night in the
streets OF Berlin are countless venders'
carts displaying fruit, and to every one
is attached dog or two. AS soon as they
have dragged the load into Berlin, the
woman who is selling the fruit takes a
small square of carpet out of the cart and
places II on the paI Iement. The dog then
rolls himself up on it and is tenderly
covered with another rug 10 protect him
from cold. He sleeps there till it is time
for him to begin his journey home. Very
often the coats of the animals exhibit
big sores where the harness has chafed
them

A Orah,s Antiplthr to plrt.

Habits of thorough cleanliness are not
only required by good taste and good
breeding, but are essential to health.
Those enemies to life aud health called
germs are always found in connec-
tion with dirt. Most animals inst net
lively avoid uncleanliness. The bird
takes its morning dip in the lake or
stream; the elephant treats himself to a
shower bath as often as he likes; dogs
love to bathe and swim in the water, as
do many other animals. Even so hum
BILE n creature as the crab, which does
not receive credit for much intelligence,
has a great antipathy to dirt These
curious creatures have n singular habit
of tearing o I their legs on sundry occa-
sions. For instance. ii a crab gets badly
scared at thunder storm or loud
noise in the water, it straightway tears
oil leg or two. A crab often loses.one
or more legs in combat with other crabs.
A still more curious thing is, that when a
crabs legs ale lost in this way, they
grow on again in few weeks time, or,
rather, new ones grow out in place of
the old ones. Perhaps this is why the
crab values leg so little; he can get
new one just as good as the old one by
simply waiting for it to grow.
But we said that crabs are extraordi-
nariry neat in their habits. These Great.
ures have such dislike for dirt that if,
by chance, one of them happens to get
one of his legs soiled in any way, he i'm
mediately pulls it off. n missionary in
the Samoan Islands tells story of
crab that was going out one morning in
search of food, when it accidentally
soiled one of its legs 1t Immediately
wrenched off the leg, and hobbled back
to its hole, TO rema II in solitary con6ne-
ment until it should grow again. 1t is
claimed that crabs have been known to
pull oil all their legs in the same man
ner, and then laboriously drag them
selves home by their nippers to wal: for
new legs to grow. Farm, Field and

Strange tapestry, by nature spun
On viewless looms aloof from sun,
And spread through lonely nooks and grots
Where shadows reign, and leafy rest
Oh, moss, Of all your dwelling spots,
In which one are you loveliesti
Is it when near GRIN shat coil
Their snaky ID 'hough humid soilI
Or when yohwrap in woodland gloom,
The great prone pine trunks rotted redy
Or when you dim, on sombre tombs,
The ''requiescatsn OF the deadi
Or is it when your lot is cast
In some quaint garden of the past
On some gray, crumble basins brim,
With conches that mildewed tritons blow
While yonder, through the poplars prim
Looms up the turreted chateaul
Nay loveliest are you when time weaves
Your emerald films on low, dark leaves,
Above where pink porch roses peer.
And woodbines break in fragrant foam,
And children laugh-and you can hear
The beatings of the heart of home.

In the Kitchen.

Several things are indispensable for
convenience in the kitchen First
small keg of soft soap will be found
more economical and do its work better
than hard soap. Should the latter be
preferred though, it should be bought in
the green state or newly made, SO to
speak, and placed in dark cool place
for two or three months before using it.
It can be bought hardened but will cost
a trihe more than in the fresh state.
Next comes q tin can of washing soda
for cleaning greasy kettles and pans,
for sweetening sinks, for securing out
all dark corners and closets that do not
get much air and light, and for washing
off dusty and dirty brushes and brooms.
Some people forget that the tools they
work with need cleaning very often.
They will scour their knives every day,
but forget all about their brushes.
From the hair brush to the scrubbing
brush, from the dust brush to the broom,
all need to be frequently cleaned with
soda and ammonia.
Dish-coths are quickest sweetened d
by being boiled with soda. Borax is a
convenient and safe article TO strew
about where there are reaches In the
laundry it is also useful. For washing
the baby's fannels use two tablespoon
fuls to three gallons of luke warm water,
and no soap. The garments will be
found soft and clean and will not shrink.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Pretty Plaque.


Take piece Of stiff pasteboard the size
Of cabinet photograph, and on one side
place layer of wadding. Cover with
dark blue velvet, being careful to have it
lie perfectly smooth, and fasten on the
wrong side. Take another piece of paste
board little smaller than the first and
cover with black cambric. Sew or glue
this to the wrong side Of the larger piece
of cardboard. Buy q small bunch of
field daisies, and around their stems tie
bow of dark blue satin ribbon. Fasten
this to the center of the plaque. This
makes pretty ornament, and may be
placed on wire easel or hung on the
wall. If the latter way is liked, attach
to the center of the back tiny brass
ring, through which run a loop of dark
blue satin ribbon by which to suspend it.

The practice Of ub-irrigation by means
OF tiles, says the New York Tins, is the
exact reverse of tile dra mage, water
being supplied to the land through the
tiles instead of being drained away from
it, But there is no economy in the
quantity of water used; the ground must
be saturated anyhow, and it makes nc
matter how the water is supplied
Twenty thousand gallons would supply
an acre OF land with three .fourths OF an
inch of water, and this would be sufi
c ent in Florida, if given once a week,
so that tank of this capacity filled every
twenty-four hours would supply five
acres. At first much larger quantity
OF water is required until the soil is filled,
and then the quantity evaporated only
needs to be restored. This quantity de-
pends, of course, upon the dryness of the
weather and upon the nature OF the soil,
sandy land and porous subsoll using
more water by percolatioa thaa heavier
lsnd with clay under it.

VACATION.


o, worker, weary with thy work,
Worn with the daily strife,
Who knoweth that success is vain, e.
That dreams fade out of life.
Go to thy mothers heart for rest,
Deep as thy childhood's sleeL,
Her tired children safe and close
Thy mother yet can keep.
For still tits true, as in those days
Long past, Of mirth and song,
Calm Nature great all-mother is,
With love and memory long.
Find then, thou canst, on Natures heart,
This solace for thy pain
The joy that blossoms with the grass,
The g,adness Of the grain.
The happy breaking into song
OF brook, and bird, and bee,
Aud on the wind that lifts the waC
And bends the willing tree.
On silent pools beneath the hills,
Where quiet shadows lie,
On waters swift, and changing hue
Let fall thy line and fly.
Let thy heart dance with dancing leaves,
And with the pattering rain
So shalt thou find, though day decline,
Thy childhood's rest again.
