Tanning skins With Fur On,

A correspondent of the Western
Rural, Chicago, writes as follows to
that paper on the subject of tanning
skins with the fur on: Remove the
legs and useless parts, soak the skin
soft, and then remove the iieshy sub
stances, and soak it In warm water
one hour. Now take for each skin,
borax, saltpeter and Glauber's salt,
Of each one-half ounce, and dissolve
or wet with soft water sufficient to
allow it to be spread on the flesh side
of the skin. Put it on with brush,
thickest in the center or thickest part
of the skin and double the skin toge-
ther, flesh side in, keeping it in n
cool place for twenty-four hours, not
allowing it to freeze. Then wash the
skid clean and take sal-soda one
ounce, b0rax one-half ounce, refined
soap two ounces; melt them slowly
together being careful not to allow
it to boil, and apply the mixture to
the flesh side as at first. Double up
again keep In warm place for twen-
ty.four hours. Then wash the skin
clean again AS above and have
saleratus, two ounces, salt eight
ounces, and dissolve also in hot rain
water; when sufficiently cool to al
low the handling Of 1t without scald-
ing, put in the skin for twelve hours; !;
then wiring out the water and hang up
for twelve more to dry. Repeat the
last soaking and drying two or three
times according to the desired soft
ness of the skin when finished.
Lastly, finish by pulling and work.
ing and finally by rubbing with a
piece of pumice stone and fine sand
paper.

EFFECT OF CITY LIFE.

The General Physical DetorioFstion Of
Town Populations
It is generally recognized that the
effect Of town life upon the physique
is not beneficial. and as the population
Of boroughs has now exceeded that OF
the country. the fact becomes one
worthy OF our attention. The great
and rapid increase Of large towns at
the present time adds to the impor-
tance of the subject and deepens its
gravity. OF old there were but few
large towns. In our m, dcrn sense Of

Married 4 Negress.

st. Joseph. Mo-. Jan. 4.-One day
last week white man appeared be-
fore a local Justice Of the Peace,
asking to be united in marriage to
negress. Tho Justice refused to
preform ths ceremony. It has been
developed since that the man, who
gave the name of Frank Sullivan,
was more successful at Troy, Kan,
where he was married by the Probate
Judge. He returned to the city and
was subsequently arrested and fined
$50 and costs. His parents reside
at Leavenworth, Kan, and yesterday
his father came to the city and visit
ed him in the calaboose. The old
gentleman upbraided him for his
conduct when the young man, whose
real name is Patrick Sullivan, posi-
lively denied marrying the negress.
The Probate Judge at Troy was
telephoned, and he said he did mar.
ry the couple, and that to secure his
consent the young man said his
mother was part negro. This fac,
being communicated to the father he
became quite angry, and declared
that while he was inclined to forgiv,
his son for marrying negro, hi
could not forgive him for chasing
his mother with the African race, a
both she and the boy we're born il
Ireland. He told him he would dis
inherit him, and that he might worl
out his fine on the rock ri'e.

OUR RAILROAD PROGRESS.

Our railroad growth during the year
has been satisfactory. Last year about
this time the Manitoba trains were bat
ting against the elements with all the
disadvantages incidental to newly con-
structed road. The track is now firm
and fast trains come and go with uner-
ring punctuality, providing rapid, com
Portable transportation without change Of
and Butte. .#
The Manitoba railroad has also greatly
improved It's terminal facilities within
the current year. The railroad bridge,
the temporary depot within the town
limits, the wool warehouse and the track
leading thereto, the Sand Coulee railroad
some of the important Improvements
carried into effect within the past twelve
months. X"
The Montana Central has also kept
pace with the march of improvement.
By completing the road to Butte, it has
provided a direct line between this city
and that great mining camp, rendering it
certain that the ores therefrom will be
sent here in great quantity to be smelted
cheaply by means Of Sand Coulee coal
and the almost limitless water-power
which our rapids and cataracts provide.
Throughout tie year the Montana Cen
trail has been managed with much eff
feciency. 1t has given an impulse to the
growth Of the Chestnut valley, which has
been felt in the towns of Cascade, st.
Clair as well as in those remote from
the track such as Sun River, Augusta
and Choteau. The Montana Central has
likewise gained in public favor by the
low rates which it has accorded on all
proper occasions as we'll as by the eXcur-
sion trips which it gave to make known
the resources and attractions of northern
Montana As the result Of its good pol
icy the trade of Butte, Helena and Great
Falls has increased. The passenger
traffic between these three cities has like
wise augmented considerably.
This railroad progress is gratifying, be-
cause it contains the promise of other en-
terprises. Neither the Manitoba or the
Montana Central can rest Influences
like those which extended the former so
widely in Minnesota and Dakota will
cause the construction of line from lere
to the Belt mining regions, for which the
surveys were made this year. In due
time the locomotive will be headed for
the Pacific coast up the fertile Sun river
valley, while an otf-shoot from the Cana
dian Pacific will come down to add an
other link to our railroad system.
Great Falls tribune., 1888-12-29
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The interesting statement by Miss Bes-
sic Ford, the school superintendent,
(printed On another page) shows that
Cascade county provides the liberal sum
Of $10,OS5 for the 13 schools districts In
this county. The apportionment is
made on the basis Of $10.S0 for each
child in the district. This is in addition
to the free school houses which the
school bonds have provided in this city and
will provide throughout the county as
soon as the population and receipts war
rant it. -."
Cascade county does not claim a mon
opoly Of this zeal for public schools. Gov.
Leslie i'll his recent excellent report says:
Every child Of school age in the terri
tory is on the school-roll and is at school
nine months of the year. In this terri
tory there is in each of the cities and
large towns the very best and highest
class of graded schools, and in all the
schools o& the territory the very best class
of teachers, uperintendents, etc. Mon
tana has no public school fund, amount
ing up 10 millions, as have the people Of
the states. The school fund for public
schools in this territory is in the hearts of
the people and taxation of their property.
The entire fund, supplemented by a
small amount derived from fines, is
raised from year to year by direct taxa
ton. No one complains Of it. And yet
there is more money paid out per capita
for public schools by Montana's people
than is paid ty the people (including
,heir assistance from their great school
funds) Of any Of the states. Besides these
public schools for the children that Can
see, hear and talk, the territory has pro
vided by law (and It's being done) for the
education Of all the blind children and
deaf-mutes between eight and eighteen
years of age in the territory, at the very
best institutions for that afflicted class in
the United States and pays for their edu-
cation and transportation, under care Of a
paid escort from their homes. @
This is an admirable showing and does
credit to our great and growing territory.
When she becomes a state, which we
hope will be soon, Montana will have a
school fund Of her own. derived from
the public lands which the United States
have generously reserved as kind of
dowry for the new state. That fund,
supplemented by the school taxes and
gifts will enable Montana to attain as
great excellence in education as any of
the old states with their immense rev.
enue and long experience. a.

THE CRATE FALLS SNIELTER.

Great Falls has reason to point with
pride to the smelter which is now pre-
pairing to begin the reduction of silver
and gold ores In no part Of the country
not even in New England, New York
or Pennsylvania is there finer industrial
establishment than this. There are larger
concerns, but none more complete. The
highest skill has been displayed in de-
signing it. The best machinery has been
procured. Every improvement which
the experience Of MI. Eilers and that Of
his able metallurgist, Mr.. Sticht, could
suggest has been embodied in these
works. so as to promote the economical
treatment of ores. The vast establish
ment stands forth as practical illustra-
tion Of the adaptibility of Great Falls for
the greatest industrial enterprises.

Those who said that if women were
allowed to vote there would be no end of
trouble can now say: III told you So" In
Boston, Mass, the entire municipal cleo
ton is likely to be declared void, because
the women cast votes for aldermen as
well as for school trustees. The wardens
-th is what they are called there-were
evidently too contiding or too timid when
they allowed this illegal voting to 20 on.
