Historic Women VINO Ble.ched Their Hair

History mentions numerous women who
have endeavored, with greater or less sue
cess, to change the color Of their hair.
Mary Queen of Scots mad naturally magnif-
icently glossy black hair, but after the his
tOric voyage from Calais overseas to Scot
land and her reception By tie sandy haired
Scotch, she sought 20 give an auburn hue
to her tresses possibly, says the Argonaut,
from an aesthetic desire to be in harmony
with her environment. Unhappy Marie
Antoinette discovered q Frenchman who
had compounded powder having the quail
ity of giving to the hair the Fich dark
brown characteristic of the madonnas
painted by many Of the old masters. At
one time, in the heyday of the Roman en-
pire, the wealthiest and most fashionable
of the patrician danes ate certain herbs
and took complicated course of medical
baths, with the object OF tightening the
shade of their abundant patrician hair. A
similar attempt is recorded of Arabian
beauties of the time of the CaIph Omar.

In China the highest grade of literary
distinction is marked by a gold button
affixed on the cap of the Individual. The
different grades of naandarfns are likewise
denoted by the color of the buttons which
they are privileged 20 wear. So also in
Europe a button on the front of the cap
formerly represented a mark of civil honor.
Thus Shakespeare makes Gaildenstern in
Hamlet" say;
On fortunes cap we are not the very button.
Meaning not the most highly favored.
Again, George Gascoigne, in his Wood
manship," makes a similar allusion to the
courtly favor of one of his gallants:
His bonet burtoncd vita gold,
His conllie cape ttzgGrded all with gay.
His bombaSt hose with Innings manifold.
HenCeforward, then, let none be guilty
of undertaking the button, rejecting that,
like good husband, buttons are always
valued the more when found wanting.

A Simple and Effective Astringent.

Blackberry root has been recommended
as one Of the simplest, most effective and
least harmful remedies we have ever tried
for diarrhea. Cleanse the root carefully,
break it into small pieces, pour over it boil
ing water and let it SIMMER in an earthen
dish. Pour off the infusion, add sugar to
taste ana give it to the patient as may be
needed. "A remarkable property of black
berry root is that, although to the taste it
displays but little stringency, it is more
eiIicacious than other drugs, richer in tan
min, and in its after effects seldom causes
the costiveness which is so often expert
enced with the more powerful astringent
medicines" In using blackberry root thus
one avoids all contact with alcohol neces-
sary where blackberry cordial is taken.

The OLD STORY.

Philadelphia is agog over the flight
of j. Monroe Shellenberger, an accom-
plished and successful lawyer, who
turns out TO be a defaulter to more
than 10000. Ills manner of swind-
ling, while not strictly original, is
unique as respects the scale of the
operations and the many years Of their
continuance without detection. II is
an interesting study into criminal char
acter. As a lawyer settling up estates,
or when acting i'm some merely nomi-
nal legal capacity, he was always urg-
ing investments. AS president of the
Doylestown fair, meeting farmers from
every section, and also rs a director
in a trust company, he was ever on the
alert TO get people with money 10 in
vest it. As there is nothing that the
average countryman in the East finds
more difficult than 10 get a good paying
investment near home this was an easy

The Helena Journal uses highly or
namental rhetoric to say that "the
waves of acrimonious debate have so
long disturbed the surface of public
affairs that Montana must bide her
time until the ripples reach the shore
of forgetfulness." But the people of
Montana hate political crime and have
long memories. The ripples to which
reference is made will not roll ashore
so long as two frauds sit I'm the federal
senate. Preserving the marine trope
introduced by the Journal, we urge it
to keep both eyes open for the big tidal
wave of democratic victory that will
roll over this state next autumn.

tossed the whole thing into the hands
of the house committee. Ever since
congress met the subject has vexed Mr..
Mckinley and tormented the rival in
terests that will be affected by the
final decision. During the discussion
lead has been subjected to duty and
then made free. Again the committee
concluded to restore the duty but, ten
days ago, Mr.. Carter was up to his ears
i'm trouble, because of a manifest deter.
mination on the part Of several men,
ben of the committee to get lead back
again on the free list.
The chances appear to be that, IL the
house ever manages to dispose of the
pending tariff bin, the proposed duty
on lead will be refused. The Mckinley
committee is compelled to pack water
on both shoulders, with the usual result.
The worst feature of the situation is
that uniformly the West suffers. The
trouble with Mr.. Carter is that on Me
stump he promised too much.

Ifany number of citizens in Montana
became enthusiastic over Wednesday
evenings news from Washington, they
have yet to be heard from. The bull

hardly a passing notice in this city. 1t

stir in Butte. Tradition has it that a
two-by-four bonfire was started some
where i'm that city, but even that

THE TERROR or ToRNAooEs.

Taking the Louisville disaster as a
text, General Greedy. chief of the sig
nal service, has written a paper, the in
tent of which is to allay the popular
fear of tornadoes. There has been a
growing tendency, fostered possibly by
those who have an interest i'm tornado
insurance, towards the belief that
these destructive storms are increasing
in frequency and violence. General
Greedy thinks that these impressions
are fallaciOus. There Is an apparent
increase, he says. first, because of the
enterprise of newspapers in gathering
and printing news, and secondly, be-
cause of that spirit of exaggeration
| which nowadays magniiies and trans
forms an unusual wind into q terrible
cyclone. Investigations made by the
signal service have shown that many
reported tornadoes of great violence
never existed save in somebody's i'm
agination.
Another of General Greely's conclu-
sions is even more reassuring. The
latest information confirms the suspi-
cion which he entertained at the first
reception of the news, namely, that the
buildings ruined mt Louisville were not
of a substantial character. II is said
that the Fort Nelson" building, in the
very center of the storm, suffered COM
pa~ratively little damage. This build
ing, constructed of unusually thick
walls of brick and stone, appears to
demonstrate the fact that il is possible
to erect structures which will be secure
against tornadoes of moderate, and
possibly of excessive violence. This
appears to confirm the theory held by
General Greedy that no tornado could
pass through the densely and strongly
built part Of great cities. Occasionally
a building of great strength may be
destroyed. but as a rule, the general
believes, a number of closely built
brick or stone blocks, where each struc-
ture is SO substantially built as to with
stand ordinary winds without support
from the adjacent buildings, may be
considered tornado proof. AS bearing
upon the strength of structures neces-
sary to withstand tornado winds, it is
important to note that there have been
very few cases recorded of wind veloc-
tiles in the United States where the
pressure of the wind, according to the
latest Investigations and accepted
formula, exceeded sixteen pounds to
the square foot. In conclusion General
Greedy urges the farmer in the prairie
country to plant trees ms wind-breaks,
and the dwellers in cities to construct
buildings with solid foundations, hon
est walls and mortar.

HIDES AND THAT SORT OF THING.

The man who predicted that Con-
gresham Carter and his party would
take care of the tariff on hides has
taken to the woods. The other man
who was sure that Mr.. Carter and his
party would see to il that Mexican lead
pays duty, may as well grid his loins
for q hasty flight to the innermost
depths of the forest. The Mckinley
committee trified with the wing of the
party with which Mr.. Carter travels i'm
the treatment of both these products.
The conduct of the committee i'm re-
gard to hides was shabby enough.
They were made free i'm the last in
stant-the thing was done i'm a corner.
The committee could not resist the in
fiuence brought to bear by the tremen-
dous force of organized manufacturers
in the East.
Millions of American money are in
vested in the manufacture of shoes. a
line of trade in which the American
market has made immensely rapid
strides. This trade was built up under
the enjoyment of free raw material. IL
has pictured in the hearing of Mr..
Mckinley the certain ruin that awaits
il were a duty now placed Oh hides.
The argument has prevailed with the
members of the committee. Mr.. Carter
fought as hard as he could against il.
His mistake lies not in the course he
pursued in Washington, but in the
unwarrantable assurance with which
republican orators guaranteed from
the stump, last autumn, the protection
TO the Montana hide interest which
they knew at the time they could not
secure. The result is that the Montana
voter is disappointed: he was foolish
enough TO believe that the promises
made in behalf of Mr.. Carter would be
made good.
The chances are strong that the
course of the committee i'm regard TO
hides will be followed when lead is
finally disposed of. The republicans
promised faithfully to protect lead.
With characteristic cowardice, Win
dom sneaked out when the question
was brought TO his attention. IL would
have been easy for him, following long
established precedent in the treasury
department, TO dispose of the question

Schoolmasters and school trustees who
intend to carry out the fiag-on-the-school-
house idea should lake pains to avoid the
comical complications that arose at
Brookline, Mass, last week. The British
American society undertook to present a
grammar school with n star spangled
banner. Nearly all the boys in that
school are of Irish-American p~arentage
and they refused the tender, opening a
subscription list to buy q flag themselves.
Thursday the pupils understood that the
British-American flag was to be raised
over their school that afternoon and they
left school in a body. Two committeeman,
the master of the school and the superin-
tendent of streets set out to capture the
urchins, but after half an hour the chase
had to be given up and the lads collected
ut a safe distance and jeered the discom-
forted officials. This incident set the
whole town by the ears.

More trouble over l~egislations about
silver. Yesterdays dispatches say that
the members of the senate and house
committee are hopelessly apart. a
proposition involving the purchase of
about four and a half millions of silver
per month has been under discus
sion for two or three days. A
wrangle arose regarding the
provisions for the redemption of
the certificates to be issued against
the deposits made with the govern
ment, and the whole business has gone
to pieces. AS the STANDARD has al
ready said, this silver question has
been made the gauntlet of ~caucusses,
committees, conferences and sub-com-
mittees. 1t m now from the hands
of what is known i'm congress as a sub
joint committee. One member of this
sub Joint combination, a Massachusetts,
gold bug" declared yesterday that nc
more concessions" would be made t.
the extreme silver men," and there
upon he proposed that the house com
mittee revert to the modified Window
bill; and that proposition prevailed by
a two-to-one vote. The next step will
be to get this rate adopted Monday
night in the regular caucus of republi
can members of the house. We do not
believe it will prevail. At any rate, lei
us all hope that II will not.

The recent excitement at Oakland and
San Francisco, caused by Erickson's
prophesy of n stupendous tidal wave that
was TO engulf these and several other
cities on the coast, has presented an adj
dition to the vocabulary of slang. In San
Francisco especially such trite express
ions as "Give us a rest" "Come off,"
"Break away" "Go, lie down." and "Go,
soak your head" are no longer au fait.
To be strictly In style n must say $50,

however. will probably be short-lived. II
isn't vulgar enough to meet the exacting
requirements of successful slang.

matter. Shellenberger recommended
two forms Judgment notes and
mortgages. In the majority Of cases
his suggestion that a six per cent.
judgment note was about as
good a thing as anything was followed.
In giving these notes he would describe
the men whose names were signed to
them, locate them in distant parts of
the county and describe their farms
and give particulars. In some cases,
while walking with the man about to
invest, he would apparently recognize
the man who was supposed to have
signed the note and when he wal across
the street mention his name. In one
case when the holder of q note came
personally to collect the interest, Shell
lenberger, in his sight, met a man sup
posed to be the giver of the note and
went into the Office and returned with
the interest. The persons whose names
were signed to the notes were all men
of straw.
Shellenberger, of course, intended to
redeem these fictitious obligations, and
would have done SO, had his specula-
tions been fortunate. II is the old
story. Every man who begins this sort
of thing fancies that he possesses
enough brains and discretion to escape
the ruin that overlook his predecessors
i'm crime, but sooner or later he finds
his mistake. Many have tried, but
none have found a better policy than
honesty.
