The Power of the lIoonstone.

There is II perfect mania for moon
stones, not always to be worn as orna-
ments, but 10 be carried about the per-
son as a temptation to good fortune
and success. To show how deep seated
is this belief | will quote from a letter
received by n dealer in gems from an
unlucky artist: Having heard of your
wonderful fortune-compelling moon
stones l send Immediately for one, hop
ing that it may dissipate the i'll luck
that has followed me for some time.
Though not 4 believer in necromancy l
am inclined to accept this with my
whole heart. If you can add an extra
charm to it 1 will remain your debtor
for life"
Once in a while one catches a glimpse
of humorous side to this superstition,
as in the ease of a Well known newspa-
per man who, being in love with
young woman many years his junior,
did not dare TO try his fate until he had
q moonstone which held n magic mir
rOr," One was easily found for him,
and it must have brought him the COW
eted success, since he was married
within six months to the ''Object" Of
his alteration. Sally Joy White.

ENTERPRISES PRIDE.
THE NORMAL COLLEGE AND ITS
WORK.
A Handsome New Building Being
Erected An Outline of the Insti-
tution-Its Teachers and Course of
Study-A Promising Outlook.

The ninth session of the Enterprise
Normal college will open Sept. End,
1890. The prospects for the year are
indeed fiattering. A new building and
improved facilities generally will en-
able the college to perform better aud
more satisfactory work than has been

tation of the institution for superior
advantages is well known in many
parts of this and adjoining counties,
and is continuing rapidly to spread.
The Enterprise Normal college works
under charter from the state, giving
it the right TO confer diplomas and de-
grees upon all persons satisfactorily
competing the prescribed courses. The
school is non sectarian and independ-
ent. 1t is founded upon the principles
of independent normalism, in accord
ance with which it is conducted.
THE SCHOOLS HISTORY.

two years ago this summer and went
through the earlier part of its career
as the Harrison Normal college. Fl
nally, financial matters not proving en-
tirely satiSfacor a reorganization was
effected i'll the dictatorship and local
capitalists now took the school in
charge. It's name was changed to the
Enterprise Normal college and arrange

Butte, July l0.-Judge Cantwell was

and relying upon his own good sense and
