Hard 70 Down the arrow

The English sparrow has no friends, but
there is no denying that it is chock full Of
pluck and perseverance,. 1t is n born hustler
and lighter, and ncvergivcs up while there is
a spark of life in its little brown body. An
instance is given by n Mcmphian whose word
is not doubted by people who care to avoid
unpleasant consequences. A mother sparrow
built her nest i'll n tall mulberry tree, where
i'll due time n half dozen little ones were
Matched to her, She guarded the nest faith
fully against all comers and fed her hedglings
with the best the bird market afforded, so
that they throve nightly and gave promise
OF becoming as great a nuisance as their. pa
rents. But one day there came n storm that
beat away the sheltcring branches about the
nest and overturned it.
The little sparrows fell to the brick walk, n
distance of at least twenty feet, and landed
with a bump that would have paralyzcd
youngsters of any other breed. They were
stunned by the fall, but soon braced up and
answered the anxious cries of their mother.
She flew down and comfortcd them with
sundry loving caresses on their little fuzzy
bodies, and having raised their spirits she
called her mate. lie came in hot haste, lust
us the storm subsidized. The parents held a
little council and finally hit upon a plan. The
male bird flew up and righted the nest and
then rejoincd his family. The mother coaxed
one Of the youngsters to get on her back and
the father did the like with another. When
their freight was fairly slowed the old birds
roso on steady wing. But the little ones
We're not used to such riding, and when about
ten feet above tho ground they tumbled off,
landing heavily on the bricks again. Nothing
daunted, the parent birds returned to the Mt.

tumbled OIL and got severe knocks, but they
came up smiling from each round, and after
an hour of hard work and harder bump:
they were once more lodged in their leafy
cradle. Memphis Avalanche.

How Hair Cloth 1s a1ade.

Many people understand, of course, how
hair cloth II is made, but for tho ediication of
those who do not we will explain the process.
In the first place horse hair cannot be dyed.
1t repels coloring matter, so to make black
cloth it is necessary to securc natural black
hair. The horses, in many cases absolutely
wild, unrestrained, are regularly corralled
and shorn. OF course, black hair is prcfera-
BILE, but sometimes gray stock is utilized.
Not only the tails but also the names are cut;
the hair is punched. These punches seldom
contain hairs CT less length than two feet;
some are even three and three and one-half
feet, and the thickness of the punches is us,,.
ally two or three inches. The hair cloth
looms are provided with what we call IL nip
per, in place of shuttle, and tho nipper is SO
finely actuated that it travels across the warn
and scizes from the punches one hair only,
the jaws of the nipper being too fine to grasp
more than one, and carries it across the weft
threads, dropping it into its exact place. Tile
action of tho loom mechanically forces the
hair nextto its predecessor, the warp crosses
upon it, snugly holds it in its place, the nip,
per travels back and seizes another, and so Oh
and Oh. The delicacy and almost human &c.
curacy with which each separate hair is
placed between the warp threads is really
incredible. -Upholsterer.

Mr.. Fitzgerald and Mrs. nrown;u,,.

1t shows some progress in tho age when the
editor of Mr.. Edward Fitzgcrald's memoirs
feels called upon to apologize for the ungra-
cious remark about Mrs. Browning which lie
allowed to appear i'll his volumes. The worst
result of the remark was the spleen that it
called forth in Mr.. Browning, tempting him
i'll his later years to undignifed and even
coarse uttcrunce. This retaliation was due,
it is said, to a somewhat distorted and exag-
gcratcd report of the original phraseology,
which, as it stands in tho book, would call
rather for a silent and contemptuous disre-
gard. The actual statement, made Upon un
impulse, no doubt, and in the familiarity of
private correspondence, was as follows:
MRS. Browning's death is rather a relief to
me, l must say. No more Aurora Leighs,
thank God! "A woman of real genius, l
know; but what is the upshot of it all. She
and her sex had better mind the kitchen and
their children, and perhaps the poor. Except
in such things as little novels, they only de-
vote themselves to what men do much bet
ter, leaving that which men do worse or not
at ALL"
Tho refreshing thing is to notice that Mr..
William Adj Wright, tho editor of Fitz-
gerald's memoirs, now feels bound to apollo
size for admitting n remark which, if print
ed a century or so ago, would AVE been re-
garded us a piece of unquestioned good sense.
The prejudice Of sex still survives in all
trades, and nowhere more than in the ele-
vntcd regions of intellect: indeed it is per-
haps greater there than elsewhere, because of
the greater extremes of success and failure.
I have known several novclists yet unknown
to fame who still hold to the conviction that
Mrs. Stowe quite unsexel herself in writing
"Uncle Toms Cabin" and Mrs. jackson in
writing "Ramona;;" and had the circulation
and influence of those books been twice as
great, the improperly would, in the eyes of
these critics, have been doubled. Why, they
justly ask, should Il romans book be trans
lated into twenty languages, while one
tongue is still enough for tho masterpieces of
John Jones' Writing novels is unquestionably,
they maintain, one of the things which 'men
do much BETTER" if the age would only get

About Bananas.

The true eating banana, OF ''madura, :" is
said to be unknown i'll northern countries,
the varieties we import being simply those
which are used i'll tile land of their growth
for cooking purposes. Garden and Forest
states that many varieties Of the madura are
recognized, each of which is distinct in flavor.
The smaller are the more delicious; and the
smallest of all, the so called lady finger ba-
II with u skin hardly thicker than paper,
is the most highly priced. Green cooking
bananas are peeled, and roasted in the ashes,
and eaten with butter, partially ripe ones
are boiled for a few minutes with the skin
on, and eaten with sirup or honey; aud ripe
ones are sliced lengthwise, and fried in olive
oil or butter.

When one looks into the life of a welded
Breton couple, the seriousness and the solem-
nifty can be accounted for. The wife is never
treated as an equal after marriage. During
the courtship, which is very short, she has .
little Difference or tenderness shown her,
but when she assumes the duties of her
household she becomes n mere drudge, so that
at the marriage festival she bids good-by in
plaintive tones to her former joys, 'if joys
they be" and to her companions, the groom
doing the same. So it is needless to say that
the future dreary round of work hangs like
aspecter about the village peasant weddings.

Speed Of Tornadoes,

Professor J. P. Finlay gives the width of
the path of destruction in tornadoes, as dc.
termined from the records of lightweight
years, ut from 10 to 1850 feet, the average
being 1859 feet. The length of the tornado
track varies from 800 yards to about 2O(
miles, the average being 24.19 miles. The
velocity of progression of the tornado cloud
varies from Z to 100 miles all hour, tho aver.
age being ALL miles. These extremes may
often occur in different portions of the track
of IL single tornado. The shortest time occu.
pied by the tornado cloud in passing a given

THE GIRLS OF SPAIN.
How the Dark Eyed Beauties Make Them.
selNca Look Ea8cinntinr.

selves Look Fascinating.
The traveller through Spain secs the young
girls, anywhere, rs beautiful as angels. They
are tall, straight rs an arrow, with the most
perfect figures, and with faces which for a
dark, tender, sad beauty are ~unexampled.
lhe magnificent hair, always clean, always
combed, always marvelously dressed, with
the inevitable flower in it, is alike tho dis
tiagulshing mark of the poorest as we'll rs
the richest Spanish woman. In this respect
the Spanish woman is unlike any other
Even Italy, the sister peninsula, 50 closely
connected with Spain in the past-Italy has
no such distinction. The Italian peasant does
not take such care of her hair, nor does the
Italian lady manifest the pride, the neatncss,
the coQuetry of fresh flowers, as does the
Spaniard. That beautiful undulating hair.
SO blue black, with Il rose hidden inits tresscs
1T is the joy of Spanish travel to look nt
these heads.
In going into small shops and humble quar-.
tiers one often sees the business of hair dress
ing in progress. One sister is dressing the
hair OF another, or the mother is arranging
tho couture, etc. They nave little heated
irons, with which they frizz the one side, and
the other is allowed to so smooth. It, is al
ways becoming to the face beneath it. They
wear it much over the face, avoiding the
hin style. Little curls around the ears
or pushing forward on the temples show that
tho Spanish woman value the purpose of
hair, which is to shade the eye md contrast
with the complexion.
At the back of the head the q is always
carefully brushed up. This nuquc gives that
character to the back of the head which is so
essentially Spanish. 1t is u remnant of the
high comb days md the nantiHa. The high
comb is now seldom worm, but the hair is
always dressed high on the hcad-a natural
crown which any queen might NV
The Spanish eye, large, humid, tender,
grand, lansuishing, furnished with lashes so
long, so curling and so beautiful that the
pencil of tho artist falls to despair; the black
pupil, tho white sea, in which the l~ustrous
orb sails-all is indescribahle! Spanish eyes
are sad. Spanish women, when they are not
coquetting IL laughing, lave n sad express
sion. Is there n little of tho Orient left in
their expreSsion3 Is it Moorish, and does it
speak of the harem and the inevitable heart
break2
Next to the beauty of hair and eye comes
the beautyo of the flashing teeth. These are so
universally perfect that the student of dent
istry should so to Spain and find out how they
manage it. There is very little good eating
in Spain. Perhaps these ~faultless teeth are
not spoiled by cakes and pastry md sweets in
childhood. But the careless traveller expects
to be rewarded when the Spanish woman
smiles with n row of pearls, and he is al
most never disappointed.-Cor. Philadelphia

ed story about the danger of undeceiving the
extremely young. The gist of it is this: A
little boy began to 80 to school and his con-
scientious teacher thought it well to explain
to him that Santa Claus is a myth. The
little boy was not exactly satisfied and re-
ferred the matter to his papa ut home. Tho
father was constrained to admit that what
the teacher had said about Santa Claus was
true. Tho little boy went away sorrowful to

THROUGH TIRE GATE.

Tho walls of Jerusalem arc clean and well

ton of those of the cities of China. They are
entered by gates which are closed at night,
and at each of these gates M%ahometan soldiers
stand and exact a tax OIL all of the produce
which comes into the city. The main bust.
ness gate is that which leads out behind the
Tower of David towards Jatfa, through which
the Bethlehem girls bring their vegetables
each morning to sell and through which all
of the imports which come by sea arc brought
i'll. This gate lies at my feet and l can see
the curious throng which passes through it
day in and day out. There are donkeys and
calncls with great loads on their backs.
There are pilgrims by the thousands and all
of the various characters which make up this
curious people.
Nearly all of the business and manufacture
ing establishments of Jerusalem are of this
cave like character. There is Il nest in thu.
city known as the baZars, and this is made up
ut long streets vaulted over, with these caves
opening out from the walls OIL both sides ard
with every sort of work going Oh in them.
Tho upper city OF the town Of today is made
up, rs l have said, of a series of stone boxes
piled one on the top of the other. Each great
stone box is a dwelling, and these dwellings,

Great Falls tribune., 1889-06-22

OUR touchy neighbor, the esteemed
River Press, is in an unhappy frame of
mind because the TRIBUNE announced
the sale of e. S. Gibson's Pablois Island
clip of wool without going into particu-
lars as to where the product was hauled,
etc., although we made no claim whatever
that it was Great Falls sale. In fact,
we had no desire to claim it. When
Great Falls can't pay more than 20 cents
for wool booming year like this it will
retire from the field. We would call the
attention Of our esteemed contem. to the
announcement in our news columns of
the opening Of the wool sales here yester-
day, the large clip Of Mr.. Hamel of Cho-
teau having been purchased by Mr.. Paris
Gibson for 21 cents. The bidders for this
clip were Messrs. Price, Martin, Wilken-
son, Sharp and Gibson, and the good re-
suit of keen competition is shown. Score
first blood for Great Falls in the contest
for supremacy as wool market.
