"The Democratic members Of the Assembly,
remarks "Thc New-York World should take
the earliest opportunity to relieve their party of the
odium of standing almost solidly in opposition
to the bill to institute ballot reform in this
State" o, yes, they should, but all the same they
WON'T. When it comes to ballot reform or
temperance reform, Democratic legislators are
conspicuous by their absence.
A Boston writer thinks that elevated roads ore
q delusion and a snare, and says that New York Is
anxious to get rid Of these means of transportation
Well, we are not likely to dispense with our ele-
waited roads unless and until we get satisfactory
substitute for them. We hope that 1t will not be
long in coming; but without elevated roads New
York would have been in pitiable condition these
last ten years.

HOW TO GROW MELONS.
Description of a Most Succe ssful Method
of Cultivation.

Select plot of moderately rich land.
old meadow or newly -cleared preferred,
inclining slightly to the east. Break
deep and harrow thoroughly; furrow
eight feet each way, by throwing the
soil in opposite directions with heavy
breaking-plow, making deep furrcv.
At the intersection of the cross-furrows
make the hills. with compost of half
a peck Of hen droppings and one bushel
of well-rotted manure, rounded up with
earth from the sides of the burrows. Into
these plant three or four seed, after
they have been soaked three days in
warm water containing tablespoonful
of chloride of lime and few drops of
carbolic acid. Neither striped bugs nor
mice will ever modest seed after this
preparation.
AS soon as the plants have begun
fairly to run, take the same pillow and
throw the burrows toward the one that
contains the hills. In week or ten
days do the same thing crossways, and
two weeks later complete the plowing
where the first was done, leaving deem
furrow for drainage, and two weeks
later complete it the other way, leaving
the vines on a beautiful rounded mound

System in Housekeeping.

More depends upon system in house,
keeping than many people know. In
order to have a well-kept house the
mistress must be orderly and methods
cal. These qualities do not come nat
urally to all, but watchfulness and con-
slant effort will make them possible
even where they are foreign to ones
nature. know a woman who, being
well aware of her deficiencies in this
respect, wrote out list of daily work
for herself, with the order in which
certain daily tasks should be per-
formed. OF course there was the lia-
bility to Interruptions, but she was sat-
isfed that her plan saved time, labor
and worrv.- Good Cheer,

THE HOUSE OF HATE,

Mine enemy builded well, with the soft blue
hills in sight;
But betwixt his house and the hills buded q
house for spite;
And the name thereof set in stone-work over
the gate,
With carving of bats and apes; and called it
The House of Hate.
And the front was alive with masks of malice
and Of despair,
Horned demons that leered in stone, and women
with serpent hair;
That. whenever his glance would rest on the soft
hills far and blue,
It must fall on mine evil work, and my hatred
should pierce him through.
And said: 81 will dwell herein, for beholding
my hearts desire
On my foe" and knelt, and fain had frightened
the hearth with fire;
But the brands they would hiss and die, as with
curses strangled man,
And the hearth was cold from the hour that
the House of Hate began.
And called with a voice of power: make ye
merry, all friends Of mine,
In the hall ofmy House of Hate, where is plenti,
full store, and wine;
We will drink unhealth together unto him
have foed and fooled"
And they stared and they passed me by; but ]
scorned to be thereby schooled.
And ordered my board for feast and 1 drank
in the topmost seat
Choice grape from curious cup; and the first it
was wonder-sweet;
But the second was bitter indeed, and the third
was bitter and black
And the gloom of the grave came on me, and 1
cast the cup to wrack.
Alone, was stark alone, and the shadows were
each fear,
were strange to hear,
And the wind on the stairway howled, as a
green-eyed wolf might cry;
And heard my heart: must look on the face
of man, or die
So l crept to my mirrored face, and l looked,
and saw it grown
C3y the light in my shaking hand) to the like
of the masks of stone;
And with horror I shrieked aloud as flung my
torch and fed:
And fire snake writhed where it fell, and at
midnight the sky was red.
And at morn, when the House of Hate was a
ruin, dcspoled OF flame,
fell at mine enemy's feet, and besought him to
Stay my shame,
But he looked in mine eyes and smiled, and his
eyes were calm and great:
"'Yourave, or have dreamed he said: Il saw
not your House of Hate!'

Five Ways to Cure a Cold.

l. Battle the feet in hot water, and
drink q pint of hot lemonade. Then
sponge with salt water and remain in
warm room.
2. Battle the face in very hot water
every five minutes for an hour.
3. Snuff up the nostrils hot salt water
every three hours.
4. Inhale ammonia or menthol
5. Take four hours active exercise in
the open air.
Summer colds are the worst of all
colds oftentimes, as it is then very diff
cult to protect ones self properly. A
ten grain dose of quinine will usually
break up cold in the beginning. Any
thing that will set the blood actively in
circulation will do it, whether it be
drugs or the use of bucksaw.-AedI-

Work at the millsite is making good
progress, though the hard nature of the
country rock makes progress a little slow
at times. About It's men are now en-
ployed and it is expected that a number
more will be put to work soon. The rail-
road right-of-way has not been definitely
settled for the entire distance yet. In
one case the contractors, foremen and
each and every one of the workmen we're
arrested as trespassers. This case was
carried to Deer Lodge after having been
tried in the Justices court here. It is to
be hoped that matters can be brought to
some sort of an amiable understanding
so that progress on the mill can be con
tinued and the railroad branch COM
pleted. The rails are already laid dis
tance of three miles from Philipsburg,
and trains are now running to the end of
the track with lumber and other sup
plies necessary in extending the branch.
