PLEASURES OF A NOBIADIC LIFE
IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Far From the Din of Civilization the
Summer Resorter Finds New
Life Among the Rugged
Granite Peaks.

In this lake-spangled land, with a
girdle of mountains claiming us in from
the din and heat of crowded civilization,
cheerily writes "Kamera" from the
Adirondacks to the Chicago Herald, the
lazy heart expands like a rose in June,
for the air is as clear as the breeze off the
open sea and as inspiring as sparkling
wine. Coming up from Plattsburg
through those ramshackle villages,
smirched with the SCOT and Changing with
the noise Of iron mills, a dread is likely
to attack the doubling and strange
traveller, for his imagination Of clear
%alluvial expanses is not fed to any great
extent. The first naked hills of gray
granite are not lovely, and the woods are

Where the Snail is Reyereneed.

The vineyard snail is held in great es.
teern in Southern Europe. It is by no
means in England. At one
time it was believed to have been i'm
ported by the Romans; while another
theory held that it was introduced about
the fifteenth or sixteenth century. 1t is
undeniably common in the vicinity of old
Roman camps. But it is frequent also
on chalk and other dry soils, and the
opinion now generally entertained is that
the Helix pomatia is a native British
species. The rulers of the world were
nevertheless its especial patrons. Not
content with eating If stewed in every
form, they fattened it ia eochlearia, Or
styes, meal boiled In wine being regarded
as the food best fitted for producing
largs and juicy specimens. How success
.iul they were may be inferred from tho
fact-if fact It be--that some of the
shells of these domesticabed snails would

There are pretty girls in the Adiron-

being altogether visitors, and it is funny
to see the gazes of mixed admiration and
dis~approbation fixed by the natives on the
imported specimens of feminine modish-
ness.

BEST TINE TO BATHE

The best time to battle is just before
going to bed, as any danger of catching
cold is thus avoided, and the complexion
is improved by keeping warm for several
hours after leaving the bath. A couple
of pounds of bran put into a thin bag and
then into the bath tub is excellent for
softening the SKIN. 1t should be left to
soak in IL small quantity of water several
hours before being used,-Nc~ iorb 7eIc-

HOW TO PACK FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

EoN ~ IAthF IAI1js All FLoNN1 4ES.
Florist and fruit growers are cautioned
by an English authority against the use
of cotton as a packing material for fresh
flowers and fruits. Ii is affirmed that
cotton 'as a packing material for cut
flowers or living plants, cuttings, s%cions,
etc, it is the very worst if employed in
immediate contact with vegetable tissues
1t is advised, to observe the rule, to first
wrap fruit in tissue paper before using the
cotton, which may then be employed
with advantage as a soft padding. But
for bowers, plants and cuttings fresh clean
wood moss is advised. An English hor-
ticulturist of experience tells of his sue
cess in sending cut flowers. This secret
is to pack the flowers firmly and yet have
some elasticity. He packs on a layer of
moss the flowers, wrapped in wax paper,
aRA over all places a piece of the CORFU
gated brown paper used in shipping bot
ties and other glGss.-Ne@ York Herald.

Mesat4na's Wealth.

Our population is now 10000, and the
assessed value Of property in the territory
exceeds $67 900, 600, although our mines
that produced in 1888 about $40, ,000, 900
are not assessable. The ranges of Mon
tana now support nearly 1,0Oo,0 600 head of
cattle, 1000, 600 sheep and 100000 horses,
of total value Of $35,000,OOO. In 1888
the assessors of the several counties of the
Territory returned 4,741.459 acres Of land
assessable, showing the rapid advances
made in agriculture. At the close Of the
fiscal year, December 31st, 1888, the Ter
ritory Of Montana did not owe dollar
and there was surplus in the treasury
of 114,0O0. No State or, Territory in the
union has II better financial or admins
trative record. Law and order prevail
generally.
Our school system rests upon supe-
rior basis and in all respects Montana is
in the fullests measure entitled to state
hood. The showing here made is u guar
antee of our ability to govern ourselves.
