A Great Invention by a Lady.

But very few years ago it was not be-
lieved that woman possessed any inven'
tive genius. But in this as in most other
intellectual employments, women are rap
idly taking the lead. The newest and
greatest invention is the New Vibrating
and Oscilating Singer Sewing Machine.
They are entirely different from any ma
chine ever made, and are the easiest run
ming and the only machine that never
gets out of order. It is simply impossible
to do any but the best work on them.
They are sold on the installment plan Of
S. per month by 9. P. Thomson, at the
Reliable Dry Goods House. Domestic
machines are also sold by the same
house. Thomson has also the largest
stock of Dry Goods, Carpets and Shoes,
and sells at the lowest prices. This cele-
brated and useful sewing machine is the
invention Of one of the ladies employed
by the Singer Manufacturing Co., and is
undoubtedly the greatest thing of the
age.

MINES WORTH MORE.
The Great Falls smelter Imparts Cash
Value to Ore.

Value to Ore.
In speaking of the result of Mr.. Orsch-
els trip east and the prospects of the
early commencement of work by the
Castle Mountain Lead and Silver Mining
company, the Montana Mining Review
says: "The work of Mr.. Orschel in Sc
curing capital with which to work these
mines is deserving of praise, because it
will help to determine the fact that the
Castle Mountain country contains mines,
and lots of them, that are we'll worthy
the attention of men with plenty of idle
cash. We have the mines and we have
the ores, not alone in the Castle Noun
tain country, but all over Montana, and
the example of the company represented
by Mr.. Orschel could be followed with
profit by score or more of now strug-
Cling mining companies which we might
name. We know of several mining com
panies operating today in Jefferson county
one of the most prolific precious metal
counties in Montana-which could be
made to pay tremendous returns to stock
holders it the men now controlling them
had the snap to push their properties for
ward and secure few thousand dollars
to develop their mines. The building of
the great smelters at Helena and Great
Falls has increased the value of every
mine within radius of 500 miles, and
their ore output can now command cash
market on the dump for Its full assay
value.

A large crowd assembled today at a.
m. to witness the departure of the excur-

the Stock Yards Here. s-4
The first shipments from the Great
Falls stock yards are expected to number
about 5000 head. The principal ship
ments will be as follows: Montana Cat
tie company, 1900 head; Sands 6 Co.,
1900; Dan Floweree, 1850. Among the
others who will ship here are J. J. Ellis,
Ford & Clary, ]. q. Adams, Mat Furnell,
Samuel Spencer and the Fort Shaw Cat
tie company.
Mail advices from Chicago to Wednes-
day last are as follows:
The cattle receipts last week show q
falling off from recent weeks, but the
hog receipts were as large as usual, and
sheep were plentier.
The general managers of the roads CEN
tering in Chicago have agreed to adopt
the system of weighing live stock ship
ments and charging by the hundred
pounds instead of by the car load. The
agreement takes effect September 1st.
Cattle of the better class were IN very
limited supply at the Chicago stock yards
during the past week, but there was the
greatest abundance of all other kinds, in.
Guiding stock from the Texas ranges and
their competitors shipped from farms all
over the west. The scanty supply of
choice shipping and export beeves, in
conjunction with an active demand, pre-
vented any weakness in such stock, but
medium to good stock ruled barely
steady, and all common cattle continued
to go at very low hgures.
Northern range cattle were in larger
supply than heretofore, and good many
fat cattle from Dakota, Montana and
Wyoming sold at $3.4O@4.95. The
market closed fairly active yesterday at
the following prices:

When Will the Revival Begin 4!

God has no stereotyped ways of work
ing. AS he makes no two leaves or
blades of grass or human faces alike,
so he makes no two religious eXpe-
riences, that come either to an individ-
ual or to church, exactly alike. No
two seasons of religious interest start
at exactly the same point or are carried
on in exactly the same fashion. Last
year hundreds of revivals started in
the many Societies of Christian En-
deavor throughout the country. This
year we believe it will be true in many
hundreds more. In the Sunday-school
prayer-meeting, held for twenty min
utes after the session of the Sunday
school, is another place where very fire.
quently the Spirit has been outpoured.
Still another most fruitful meeting has
the Sunday evening after-service "
proved to be. The place of the begin
ming is matter of comparatively little
consequence. That the revival shall
begin somewhere and somehow is the
important thing. Let us whisper once
more in the ears of our young friends
who read this article very serious
word: it may begin in your prayer
meeting next week if you desire it.
1t may begin in your hearts to-day
Golden Rule.

A Dog that Wore Spectacles.

l was told some time ago the follow
ing remarkable story of a Kentucky
dog that had become almost totally
blind. The sound of the horn no
longer aroused his blood, and while the
other dogs of the house went forth ca
gerly to the hunt, the old, afflicted ami
NAL remained behind, sad and discour-
aged. While at play, one day, some
children, who knew the poor brute's
infirmity, placed upon his nose pair
of common spectacles, the glasses of
which happened to be very strong.
The dog at once awoke from his stupor
and showed his pleasure in unmistak-
able signs. The glasses were then adj
justed in the best possible manner so
as to remain on the rejuvenated ami
malls nose. The next morning he
started off to the hunt with the other
dogs, and soon it was he who led the
pack. But unfortunately his spectacles
brushed up against bush and were
torn from their resting-place. The old
dog allowed the others to pass him, and
then, picking up his glasses, he carried
them to his master to have them re-
adjusted. The dog is now a confirmed
spectacle wearer-so much so that when
any one attempts to remove his goggles
he becomes savage.-JelcelerS' Weekly.

The Prayer-Meeting.

Closet prayer does not and can not
take the place of public prayer, where
the people of God are met in the name
of Christ, according to his Word, agree
ing together as touching the things to
be asked for. There is distinct prom
Use that in such an assembly our blessed
Lord will be present. In such an as
sembly the hearts of his people will
burn within them because of his pres
ence and the silent communications of
his Spirit. In such a meeting the peo-
pie of God, gathered as a family, may
and ought to unburden themselves of
such of their cares and troubles as are
proper to be made public; else how
may we bear each others burdens, and
so fulfill the law of Christ? Christian
sympathy is one of the essential bonds
that bind us together. In such gath
ering there should be a relation of
each others personal experience of
Gods grace and help granted during
the week. There is nothing so helpful
to the average Christian as to hear from
some other Christian of definite help
and actual transactions with God
through the Spirit. In such meeting
there ought to be poured forth from
score or more of hearts the treasures
of truth found during the week in the
Word of God. For thus only may we
come into anything like a full fellow
ship with each other, of the manifold
wisdom of God and the deep treasures
of his love and grace. To comprehend
with each other the breadth and length
and depth and height of the love of
God there must be communication.
In such meeting the pastor is helped
to knowledge of the spiritual condi-
ton of his people as he can not be in
any other way, and his own work of
teaching and spiritual ministry is sup
plemented by "a hundred helpers.-In-
dependent.

Homes without God.

One alarming evil of the nineteenth
century is the number of irreligious
homes found in every community. Not
homes without culture, refinement and
elegance; not homes wanting in social
and worldly enjoyment, but irreligious
homes-homes in which, practically
there is no prayer, no God, no Bible
reading and no worship. The father
unsaved, bearing no testimony for
Christ, placing before the children no
Christian example. Sometimes both
parents are unconverted and as indif-
ferent to the gospel, or to world like
this, as the most blasphemous infidel.
Oh, what calamity is this! If parents
are irreligious and can dispense with
God and his Church, how are we to ex-
pect better of the children? Cody
homes have done more for the peace of
society and the spread of the gospel
throughout the world than any other
single agency. If this be true, who
can speak the dreadful influences and
results of irreligious homes-many OF
them excellent in many things, but
wholly unchristian? God have mercy
on such!-O,T Young People.

strain her to teach her boy the way of
life. 1t is your duty to look after the
salvation of your family. You have
more influence over them than others
have. They hear from the pulpit and
read in the Bible threatenings of COM
ing danger, but they naturally think
that those who love them best would
give warning if the danger be real No
such note of alarm is sounded, and they
sleep on in the bosom of the family.
There is no time to be lost. How soon
may Joy be turned into grief, songs be
changed for sorrowsl 1t is sad enough
to lose our friends if we know we shall
meet them in heaven, but to have
them on the dying bed turn toward
us look of reproach that we have

The Kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God rests on the
hearts of men. 1t appeals to the hearts
of men and it conquers by conquering
the hearts of men. 1t approaches peo-
Piles and nations who know not God
not with arms and streaming banners,
but with the truth. 1t brings souls
into subsection not by force, but by
love and reason. When it has won its
cOnquests it does not seek to maintain
them by the power of the sword, but
by the sublime might of the verities of
God. 1t creates no earthly thrones. 1t
awes by no ma jesty of earthly dominion.
The dazzling splendor of earthly hier-
arches, the cunning intrigues of
diplomatists, the mad endeavors of
wild and fanatical crusaders have no
place in the aggressive economy of the
kingdom of God. All these are of the
world. The kingdom of God deals
with mind, with will, with conscience.
1t moves forward and registers vic
tories by bringing individuals under
the power of the Spirit and into har-
mony with the law of God. 1t is in
the heart that evil has its stronghold.
The heart is the hot-bed in which grow

may to better the condition of man.
kind, and to improve society and to adj
vance civilization, it is all of no avail
unless there be an inward cleansing.
Change man inwardly, change man
as he fronts God, change the indiffer.
ence and the hate and the oppugnancy
which are in man into love, change
his disloyalty into loyalty, and all the
rest will follow. The scepter of the
kingdom is right scepter. Hence the
kingdom of God is something intensely
