Character a Surer Basis of Confidence
Than Momentary Observation Can Be.
How good it is to trust absolutely! How
good it is to be trusted absolutely! At the
BEST we can not depend on our senses to
make clear to us at the time the truth con-
corning the spirit and purpose of another,
as back of his words or ways for the mo-
ment. At the best We can not be sure of
making clear to another our own spirit and
purpose as back of our words and ways, at
every moment when we are under obser-
walton. We can not Judge, nor can we be
judged, by sight alone. The element of
faith must come in to enable us to know and
to be known truly Unless we are sure of a
friends character. as the pledge of his I'M
swerving fidelity in his friendship, we are
liable to see cause for questioning as to his
thoughts or feelings concerning us in one
way or in another, even while he is truer III
that friendship than the needle to the pole.
And unless our friend has a like assurance
of trust in our character, we are liable to
disappoint him, or to cause a question in
his mind concerning our fidelity at an I'M
expected moment. But when ones faith is
firm, ones very senses will rightly be in
subsection to that faith; for character is a
surer basis of confidence than any momen-
tary observation can be.-S. S. Times

FRESH FARM FACTS.

"CABBAGEs need lime,' says an ex-
perienced farmer.
One day additional in narrowing will give
you big wages in harvest-time.
IT is as unwise to pillow before the ground
is ready as to harvest before the grain is
ripe.
Be ready, when the land is IN good order,
to put all the teams in the field, and see how
well the work can be done. Do not hurry
over it-ten acres well put in, will pay bet
ter than fifteen indifferently run over.
THE treatment of a cholera hog after the
disease has gained a firm hold upon it Is
useless. The alterations produced in the
large intestines may heal slowly if they are
not too extensive, but medicines are of little
avail.
WE would rather have one pan of milk,
with Quarter-inch cream, than four pans
with one-sixteenth-inch cream. By the
same token, twenty acres of land, with a
rich, deep soil, may be more desirable than
q thin-slzinned tract of one hundred and
sixty acres.
FARMERS know the danger of laundering
horses by allowing them to drink unre-
STRANGELY after being warmed by working
or fast driving. The danger is greatest
when the water is coolest. 1t is the sud
den chill of cold water on a heated stomach
that does the mischief.
AN exchange warns planters to let for
eign potatoes-Scotch, Irish and German
severely alone, as the change of soil and
climatic condition is too radical, and 1t Is
necessary for the newcomers to become &C
climated before they can be successfully
grown on this side of the big pond.
THE country cook, blessed with fine veg
etaole garden and a convenient dairy, will
find that quite q bare bone will make a
savory soup. Vegetables full of juice and
flavor, and perhaps an additional cup of
cream, will make amends for almost any
shortcomings as regards soup meat.
FLEETNEss and strength are important
qualities in horses, the extremes of which
never co-eXist in the same animal. For
some purposes a combination of these quail
tiles is desirable. Either may exist in great
degree without bottom, or power to endure
continued eHertion, a quality of high value.

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
a Handy Table or Reference for Hous
ls.las

Gardeners.
We are asked to state the period for
which the common garden seeds retain
their vital ty. This information NAV come
handy to many home gardeners who have
a stock of such seeds left over from pre-
vious seasons. In the first place, we would
say that definite answer IL hardly be
given in any case. as a great deal depends
on the way the seeds were kept. But as
stored in paper bags and sacks as they gen.
orally are, seeds will be reasonably sure to
! terminate for the following number of
years, respectively:
Beets. from 10 z years, cabbages. caul:.
| flower. kale, ETC., years; carrot, 2 years;
celery, years; corn, 2 years; cucumbers.
10 years, and perhaps more; egg plant. 4 OF
8 years; herbs, 2 years; lettuce, 8 We rs;
melons and squashes, 10 years or more;
onion, from l to 2 years; parsley, years;
parsnlp, year; peas years; peppers, 2
years; radishes, years; satisfy, years;
spinach, years; tomatoes. years; tur-
nips, years
All these seeds, however, should be tested
before they are planted. Sometimes onion
seed will entirely fail to terminate the sec
| ond season. In some cases we have known
so per cent of it to grow when two years
old, and small percentage of it when
three years old Theoretically, all seeds
AAoh WHICH We expect 1rult-Such as
melons, peppers, tomatoes, etc.-should
give us the best results when their vitality
is somewh@t weakened by age or other
wise; while it would be preferable to plant
new seed of all vegetables which we grow
merely for their foliage or root, like lettuce,
celery, cabbages, radishes, etc. Practically,
however, we have not been al le to detect
the least difference between crops of the
same varieties of cabbage grown from old
and from new ed respectively, nor be-
| tween plants OF the same variety of mel on,
grown from seed of different ages. Hence
we do not care if the seed is new or old, so
long as it terminates pronp. ly.-Bostoa

AJAX JASON FISK, of the Helena Her
aid, and Alexis Deyine, of the Independ-
emit, of the same city, were dragged out
of their little trundle beds the other
night to answer to the charges of crimi-
nal libel preferred by the editor of the
Billingsgate who had been Camping on
their trail, a John Shobsr would say, for
some days, because of a publication that
the Billings paper had shut down on an
attachment for an overdue and unpaid
Indebtedness. These proceedings were a
part of the folly that has characterized
the recent management of the Billings
paper since Mr.. Camp succeeded Mr..
Matheson in the management. The In
dependent and the Herald made the pub
LEGATION in good faith as a mere matter
of news and meant no malice. In fact,
the Independent made due amends as
soon as the management had been adj
yised of its Misrepresentation in the mat
ter; and we are not sure but that the
Herald did the same thing. Certainly
it would do 80 when assured that it had
been misled. There may be some excuse
for such hasty action, but an editor is
expected to have more sense. There was
clearly no interest on the part of either
the Independent or the Herald to hurt
the business of the Billings Gazette or
rasp the feelings of MI. Camp. THE MINER
hopes, therefore, that Mr.. Camps better
judgment will assert itself, and that he
will promptly dismiss his ill-advised suit
which only sets him up as a simpleton.

TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH.


The meeting called for last night at
Renshaw Hall to arrange for a worthy
celebration of the Fsurth of July In Butte
was all that was needed. A number of
energetic gentlemen assembled and did
all that was to be done in the way of
resolving that the celebration In Butte
shall exceed in point of at-tractiveness
any previous effort. The committees
necessary to carry this into effect were
appointed. The executive committee
meets this evening and the finance com-
mittee were given their credentials to 60
before the citizens and procure the con-
tributions necessary to the end In view.
This end is, it may be stated, something
out of the ordinary. Butte must put
forth more than ordinary effort il
city is to capture the attendance from the
outside that is desired. The citizens
when appealed to must be prepared to
respond to the committees appeals with
extra ~liberality. At least ten thousand
dollars will be asked to expend upon the
parade and fireworks at night. Other
places are making extra efforts this
year and the business men are earnestly |
appealed to not to let Butte fall behind
them. The time in which to get up the
is short, but united. ener-
yetic effort will tell, and If active men
put their shoulder to the wheel the result
will be success. In any year the princi-
pal work has been done in the last few
weeks, and provided the citizens respond
literally and at nee there will be a cele-
ration here that will throw all previous
forts in the shade.

COMPELLED TO DIYULGE.

The libel suit brought by the proprie-
tor OF the Billings Gazette against the
Helena Independent and Herald has
raised a point of law that is of interest
to newspapers in the Territory. The
presence Of the business managers. Alex.
DeVine and A. j. Fisk, who %imperatively
and effectively commanded by the Court
in session at Billings, as heretofore stated
in these columns, to ascertain the author
ship OF the alleged libel that had ap-
peared in both papers. The substance of
the publications complained of was that
the Billings Gazette had been attached
with liabilities of 5000 and the indie
pendent stated the Office had been closed.
The facts were that a suit had been
brought in the Billings justice court to
recover from the Gazette Publishing
Company an old debt of $142 owed by the
former owner Of the paper, which was
settled without going to trial. Some
small accounts had been garnished that
were due the concern but no ATTACHMENTS
were issued. Retractions and explana-
tiOns were made by both the Helena
papers as o o as the true facts came to
their knowledge. but the Gazette people
were after the author of the libel that
had appeared, and Messrs. Fisk and
Devine were taken before the Grand Jury
at Billings to make them divulge his
name. OF course they refused to dose on
the ground that "the relations between
a publisher and his correspondents were
confidential and could not be d~ivuIged."
But Judge Liddells aid was invoked and
ne ordered that the witnesses must
answer or be held for contempt. Messrs.
Fisk and Devine made no resistance. an

that the ruling would be sustained on
appeal. 1t lis regrettable that the mat
ter was not carried to the court of last
resort SO that a deinitive enunciation of
the law on the subject in this Territory
could be made. Such information as the
Grand Jurors required has been held as
privileged elsewhere, though, Of course,
the paper itself was held responsible for
the effects of the libel wherever any ex-
listed. The Herald has this to say in
on the ruling of the Court:
Some are OF the opinion that the Court
erred in it's ruling. We have been In the |
