Minute Screws.

1t is asserted that the smallest screws
in the world are those used in the pro-
duclion of watches. Thus, the fourth
iewel-wheel screw is the next thing to
being invisible, and to the naked eye it
looks like dust. With glass, however,
it is seen to be small screw, with two
hundred sixty threads to the inch, and
with a very fine glass the threads may
be seen quite clearly. These minute
screws are 4-1000 of an inch in dame
ter and the heads are double. 1t is
also estimated that an ordinary lady's
thimble would hold 100000 of these
screws. No attempt is ever made to
count them, the method pursued in de-
termining the number being to place
one hundred of them on very delicate
balance, and the number of the whole
amount is determined by the weight of
these. After being cut, the screws are
hardened and put in frames, about one
hundred to the frame, heads up, this
being done very rapidly by sense of
touch instead of by sight, and the
heads are then polished in an automatic
machine, 10000 at time. The plate
on which the polishing is performed is
covered with oil and grinding COM
pound, and on this the machine moves
them rapidly by reversing notion

AS is well known in the village of Dali

keen hand at a bargain, and few have
ever been able to boast that they have
"got the best o. her" in a deal. The
other day she entered the shop of Sandy
O'Neil, where everything and anything,
from pair of spectacles down to an
ounce of tea, can be purchased, and
said; Wad we sell me sugar basin

the coveted lid before the astonished
shop-keeper had time to interfere.

Circumstances the Test of Men.

The nature of every man is so mys-
FERROUS, so unreasonable and unfathom-
able that what seems to others the mar
rowest mental organization may contain
within itself unexpected resources.
This is the hidden cause of the invari-
able appearance of great men in times
of national trial and disturbance. AT
such times quiet, unpretending indi-
viduals come to the front by the forces
of nature that formerly lay concealed
within them and they win fame, perhaps
immortal fame, like Cromwell, Grant,
Lincoln, for qualities that would have
scarcely attracted notice in common
life and in ordinary times. The fact of
such appearances of great men ought
to warn us all against the presumption
of setting bounds to the future of any
one, except in matters where technical
excellence is necessity. If a man
can not play the fiddle at thirty years
of age we may safely predict that he
will never become an accomplished
volinist, but when there is no tech
nical obstacle the limits can not be
fixed. Scott fell into novel-writing
accidentally, and very trivial circum-
stance Ga search for fishing-tackle that
made him stumble upon the unfinished
manuscript of Waverley y caused
him to resume it after first abandon
ment. George Eliot spent her time in
translating German philosophical books,
not at all suspecting the existence of
her own gifts as a novelist until Lewis
urged her to make experiments. A
possible external cause in either of
these cases would have left the gift
dormant forever. If Byron had not
appeared Scott would have remained
the first poet, so that he would not
have turned to prose, for Shelley and
Keats counted for hardly anything in
those days and Wordsworth was I'M
popular. If Miss Evans had married
rich ordinary man the intellectual side
of her nature would have overshadowed
the artistic, and she would never have
been anything more than student
and expounder of philosophy. I'm
thinking people express an astonish-
ment at examples of this kind which is
in itself unreasonable. They think it
very surprising that any one should sue
coed in a pursuit for which he has not
been trained, but that never happens

StenOgraphic Feats.

Zone of the most remarkable feats
in modern journalism" says the Hart
ford Times, was achieved by Mrs. Isa-
bella B. Barrows of Boston. She
wrote a verbatim report of speech
made in German by Carl Schurz which
she turned into English while her pen
was flying across her paper in steno-
graphic characters. To write steno-
graphically and translate from German
to English simultaneously was re-
markable piece of shorthand report
ing" The present writer knows of
still more extraordinary steno-trans-
lating feat. About fifteen years ago he
was member of the " Hansard " staff
that reported verbatim the debates in
the Canadian house of commons at
Ottawa. In that body the French Ian
guage is officially recognized, and one
member of the Hansard staff Ga gen.
tleman named Lumsden of Hamilton,
Ontario) was especially assigned for
the French speakers. Lumsden was
not only lightning stenographer, but
was a magnificent French scholar,
although an Anglo-C Canadian. But he
could only report verbatim in English
photography. 1t was the custom then
and probably is now-for speech to
be printed in the language in which it
was rendered. Lumsden would not
only write in English shorthand YER
batim report of speech delivered in
French, but would, with perfect ease
and marvellous rapidity, retranslate his
English Photographic notes back to the
original French. The Frenchmen used
to be astonished at Lumsden's accu-
racy, his reports being actually YER
batim.-Cincinnah Commercial Gazette.

How to Make Friends with a Dog.

A good many people are bitten by
dogs when very few need be. In the
first place, people should not NEEDLE
with dogs who do not know them.
Every now and then somebody startles
a dog by laying strange hand upon
him, pokes him with stick or pushes
him with the foot, and I" is bitten by a
vicious dog" Why not let the dog
alone? There are people with the bad
habit of meddling with what does not
concern them, and there are children
who have been taught no better than to
touch, if they can, whatever takes their
fancy. These are the people bitten by
dogs. Not once in ten thousand times
does dog modest a person who minds
his own business, no matter how grabbed
the dog may be. If, however, you are
bound to approach and touch dog, do
it properly. There is only one way.
1t is this: Put out your hand easily and
confidently to the dog, so that he may
smell it. Put it to his nose. If he
shifts at it and wass his tail, or other
wise shows friendliness, then you may
speak to him and pat him on the head
if you like, and perhaps use other ia
miliarities; but if, when you offer your
hand, the dog remains sullen and pas
sive, the sooner you take away your
hand the better. Never approach a
strange dog with either timidity or men
ace; but, as we have said, the best way
is to let all strange dogs alone, and get
any desired information about them
from those who have the honor of their
personal friendship.-Or Dumb Ami

Bringing Home the Cows.

The woodlands cast the heightened shade,
The hills are bathed in sunset gold;
The brook keeps time mid lilies gliding
To song-birds piping in the world.
IT'S milking.tim and from the vale
Is heard the cowboys CHEEKY call
Now loud and clear, then fainter grown,
II mingles with the dew. drops fall.
The sunset fades, the hills grow dim
And don their robes of sunlight gray,
And still the cheerful call is heard.
As cows come troopng up the way.
Knee-deep among the lilies standing,
They halt beside the tinkling stream
To crop the crosses cool and sweet,
And there the cowboy halts to dream.
The stars beam out In evening skies
And tinge the brook with silvery sheeni
In snowy hood, at the pasture bars,
The waiting milk maid there is seen.
Then from his dream young Rollin wakes,
And then, with loud, impatient whoop,"
Starting the lettering herd anew,
Drives through the bars the painting troop.
His work was done, yot at the bars
The bashful cowboy fingers still;
And in the cleaning watched the maid
with snowy milk the bright pals fill.
Let down the bars, that she might pass,
He saw her take her homeward way;
Yet never a word of speech he'd formed
Could the faint-hearted Rollin say.
She read his secret in his face
And let her trembling lashes fall;
Then homeward sped, with quickened pace,
And in her dreams still heard his call.
Long years have flown, and once again
lis milking-time, and gathered there
Ameng the mild-eyed cows they stand
A grey-haired man and matron fair.
Their hands are Joined in tender clasp,
And, musing DER that far.otf time,
She hears again the cowboys call
Come up the vale like silvery chime
Long long they halt beside the bars,
Till night winds kiss their slvered brows;
Then over the meadow brook they pass
And follow home the lettering cows.

I3OZeman,

BOHEMIAN, Sept. 23.-Word and Luce
addressed q large audience here Satur-
LAY night. Mr.. Word delivered a fervid
speech to the people, addressing his re-
marks to the many oldtimers, to whom
the early history Of the country was
familiar. He fully demonstrated that
honorable Tommy had Intentionally Or
inadvertently made many mis-statements
in his address at Bozeman. Mr.. Word
then paid tribute to the democrats OF
the north who made a united country,
and to the early citizens of Montana, who,
when the war was over and their cause
lost, took hold Of the pillow, miners pick
and rifle made this country what it is
today made it possible for such men as
Carter and others to come and revile
them by slurrng and using indecent cpl
thets, such as "cut-throats," "left wing of
Prices army" etc. The speaker also
showed conclusively that Carter's oft
repeated assertion that he had assisted in
the admission Of Montana, was not sus-
ceptible of proof. Other matters were
handled by the speaker in manner that
brought frequent and loud applause
Judge L. A. Luce also addressed the
meeting and called attention to the fact
that the republicans were ashamed of
Greeley, Garrison, Sumner and others
who formed the party at the outset.

Summary of Montana Cattle Sales Last
.#'H Week.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21. 1.-Rosenbaum's cir
cular says: Receipts this week about
$4,000 cattle, including 10000 Texans and
10000 western rangers. One year ago
receipts Of western rangers were 10000
head and only $4,000 Texans These fig
ures show that present receipts Of west
erns are 10000 less, and of southern Tex
ans 5000 more than one year ago. The
general cattle market this week has been
stronger. Native grades have advanced
about 15@25c above the low point of last
week and the market for western range
cattle has also been stronger. Good cat
tie we think will sell well during the re-
mainder of the season, unless there are
too many poor to medium cattle to hold
them down. The sales Of Montana cattle
we're as follows.
