Some of the Uses of Silk.

Silk is an agreeable and healthy
material. Used in dress. it retains the
electricity of our bodies; in the
drapery of our rooms and furniture
covers it reflects the sunbeams. giving
them quicker briliiancy. and it
heightens colors with charming
light. 1t possesses an element of
cheerfulness. of which the dull sur
face of wool and linen are destitute
1t also promotes cleanliness, Will not
readily imbibe dirt, and does not har-
Dor vermin as kindly as wool does.
Its continually growing use by man.
accordingly, is beneficial in many ways
Grace ana beauty, even. owe some
thing to silk. You can not stiffen it
like thick wooden or linen without de-
stroying all its gloss and value. The
more silk ribbons. therefore-the
more silk kerchiefs and robes are
used, instead of linen and wool-the
more graceful becomes the outward
aspect of mankind. A number of
strange. grotesQue fashions, originate
ing in the use of linen, would never
have been invented during the more
general employment of silk. The
fiuttering of ribbon. the rustling and
flowing skirts of silk, the silk kerchief
loosely knotted round the neck, have
materially contributed to make our
customs more natural and pleasing to
the eye.-N. Y. Ledger.

TdE POST CANTEEN.
Post Traders are Prohibited From Selling
Intoxicants of Any Kind.

Some years ago when in the last
month Of Pres't Hayes administration
an order was issued by the secretary of
war prohibiting the sale Of whiskey
and wine at post traders stores, II was
thought that the cream Of the business
had been knocked out and that thence.
forward no one would care TO be post
trader, Still trade in beer and light
wines was permitted and the change
was not as great as anticipated. Now,
however, the axe has fallen for sure.
Gen'l Schofield, IL is understood, is an
ardent believer In the post canteen
scheme, which has been on probation
at most Of the po ITS for year OF two
past, but which, owing TO the superior
attractions Of the post traders store ne
a theatre for the dissemination OF anti
prohibition sentiments, has, we pre-
sumo, led O rather sickly career. The
canteen is, we believe, a place Of resort
where soldiers can procure eatables
and driukables on a monthly commu-
tation plan. Beer and light intoxi-
cants are furnished In limited quanti-
ties, the intention being TO restrict In
toxication In those who cannot control
their appetites and at the same time
permit those who enjoy ssociable mug
or two, TO indulge in mild sympos-
Ium, To this end the following order
has been promulgated:
BY direction Of the secretary If war
the attention Of post and other mill
tary commanders Is invited 10 para
gtaph a5l Of the regulations, which
does not appear to have been strictly
enforced at some Of the military posts.
In addition 10 the prohibition OF the
sale Of intoxicating liquors trcered by
paragraph 35l, the authority heretofore
granted post traders 10 sell light beer
and wine il hereby restricted exclus-
lively 10 sale In unbroken packages 10
officers and canteens. Such sales to
be In competition with other dealens

thing ready for the great era OF pros

every Dak"ta town. Mr.. Lisk while
sojourning there this summer had,
part of the time, nothing better 10 do
than take notes Of what was going on.
and these are some Of the strange
things he learned: II j. generally
conceded that Montana is a shipper of
live stock but not AS generally be-
lieved that IL j. receiver also, but
Mr.. Lisk found that in the season
from June to October there WAS shipped
over the Manitoba road into Montana,
i,O6s beef cattle, 2S6 sheep and 3.l5O
hogs. About half Of the cattle were
owned in small lots by prospective
settlers, who also brought in 100
horses. The sheep were all for breed
ing purposes, and were, in the main,
very high grade animals. The hogs
went to Butte and Helena for butchers
supp ly as well as about half the cattle.
This il a condition Of affairs that can
not put attra"t the attention Of think
ing men. With irrigation assured, as
il INV il in this locality, there j. no
reason why we should not raise enough
winter feed to fatten both beef and
hogs and have them ready for the
Butte and Helena markets as early a.
they want them. There is no sense in
bringing these products from Illinois
when they can be had right here. But
this Is depression brought abou. by
the consideration of what irrigation
will do for a country, and how much
IL is needed in the west. Dakota needs

to gat n There the artesiau we'll

plishment at first aud of doubtful
utility If accomplished, is all they have
to depend upon, while here. with
countless flowing streams and such in
supply as is sfiarded by
the Yellowstone, Tongue, Powder and
Big Horn rivers, IL seems a criminal
waste or neglect OF the opportunities
that Providence nss placed within our
reach TO be without the fullest appli.
cation Of water to our lands. Mr.. |
Lisk's experience is that II man
wants TO have nis faith renewed in
Miles City aud Custer county. he |
wants to spend few months in tree

From Mr.. +. A. Lisk, who spent the

has been followed with Indifferent
success. Within year or two past,
however, q new. though transient in"
dustry has sprung up, with which all
classes are identified. This is the

Of buffalo bones. In this persuit In
diane, whites and half-breeds are en-
gagged, with every species Of vehicle

residuum OF the great slaughter OF

marketable. They are found and

50 miles from the railroad, and COM
