was born of the first republican
legislature of Montana.
Register. and do SO at once. and
thus rebuke the party that enacted
such a law. Delay is dangerous.
In order to vote you must register
on before September Is.

Extra Polish Misapplied.

There are some persons 50 refined"
that they are so effectually encased
from contact with their fellow-beings
as If actually boxed in by glass and
wood. A mispronounced word, an UNI
grammatical expression, is with them
sufficient to outweigh any degree Of
moral worth. To be sure, it is pleas
ant to an educated person to meet both
refinement and worth; but he who ac-
cepts the former at the price of the
latter because not framed in the former
is always a surface-creature, whose

A TARTAR BREAKFAST.
What a Traveller Saw During the

went into one of the stone-built re-
cesses, where several of our Tartars
were crouching round small grass
root fire, and was considerably edited
by Watching them cooking and dis
patching their morning repast. To
begin with, a very dirty copper vessel
was put on the fire and filed with some
green weed like nettles, barley, -four
and water. While one of the men stir
red this pottage round and round with
wooden ladle, another produced
some raw meat--a bit of the dong 1 had
shot. This he proceeded to tear up
into small strips and throw them on
the fire, every now and then popping a
raw lump into his mouth and mastica-
ting it with apparent gusto. Even the
bits on the fire were quickly disposed
of after being merely singed.
As soon as the pottage was consider
ed ready it was ladled out in little
wooden cups, like the whisky ''quaighsn
of the Highlands, minus the handles,
which each man produced from inside
the breast of his dirty wooden coat,
and gulped up from them with a prodi-
gious amount of noise. After being re-
plenished again and again until the pot
was emptied, the cups were licked clean
and redeposited from whence they had
been taken. Another course Of flesh
was about to be partaken of after the
manner of the first, but regard for
my own appetite for breakfast prevent
ed my waiting to see it discussed.
These hardy Tartars are quite indie
pendent of any other dishes beyond
their little wooden bowls. In these
they mix their suttoo (meal made from
barley with water and salt and make
an expeditions repast of it.-Black-

Faults of Many Mothers.

American women of all classes are,
as rule, sinfully negligent Of some of
the duties which pertain to health, es-
pecially exercise in the open air. The
excuse that their many cares engross
them, and that they, In consequence,
have but little opportunity for leaving
their homes, is scarcely sufficient. The
number who actually can not enjoy
each day an hours outing must be
small, indeed, even among the class
forced to work the hardest. Not only
do many women fail in this respect in
their duty to themselves, but their
young children suffer in consequence of
the same neglect. From one weeks
end TO another during the winter not a
few Of them keep their little ones in
overheated rooms, If not huddled
around the kitchen stove, and the re-
result is we find them, as spring APP
proaches, weak, puny and ailing. In
such families, colds, coughs, sore
throats and the like are common af-
fections. There is scarcely day dur
ing the coolest season when even the
baoy can not be taken out of doors.
Mothers should understand that upon
the daily enjoyment of fresh and open
air depends, in a great degree, the
health of their little ones, as well
as themselves; it is, in fact, absol-
utely indispensable to the well be ing

claimed, will make it cheaper to tele-

Dr. j. Harris Rogers, OF Washington,

that the world will be almost revolu-

system, Mr.. Rogers says, reduces the
English alphabet to ten elementary
characters. The messages are pre-
