Clothing for skaters.

Entertainment: A few precautions shonld
be observed as to the clothing to be worn
while skating. Do not wear too much or
too heavy clothing while on the ice. The
exercise is violent and little artificial
warmth il required. II too heavy clothing
is worn it will cause Precipitation, which
will chill you as soon as the exercise stops.
Wool underwear a little heavier than the
fall grade and good wool outer garments
are best. As in all outdoor sports, q fan
mel shirt or blouse is to be recommended.
After leaving the ice have a heavy wrap to
put on. 1t will prevent catching cold. Do
not wear a fur cap unless your ears are ex-
tremely tender. If your circulation is
good your head will suffer with too
much covering. Always put on Il
warm dry pair of stockings before
going. No matter if those you are wear
ing have only been on an hour, they are
likely moist with perspiration and they will
give you cold feet. If there il snow on the
ground wear a pair of arctics to the ice. AS
your shoes should not be allowed TO get
wet. AS to foot gear, all skaters will tell
you that lace shoes are the only kind 10
wear. A skating shoe should fit snuply,
and the lace shoe is the only style that will
permit Of drawing up tight. Button or
congress shoes or boots are to be Stunned,
rs skating in a loose shoe il more harmful
than beneficial. For ladies ! think there is
made a light calf shoe that supports the
ankle and is far better than the kid article.
Dry shoes and dry stockings will keep the
feet warm while skating, and if the feet
are inclined to perspire let the hose be
somewhat lighter than usually worn in win
ter. 1t is not necessary to purchase a sepa-
rate outfit of clothing for skating. A little
foresight will enable you TO prepare for the
sport when you are laying in your regular
supply.

THE ST. Louis Globe Democrat takes
no stock in the suggestion that Mr..
Reeds we'll known hatred OF Mr.. Harri-
son will load the speaker to let the free
coinage bill slip through the house, to
the presidents great embarrassment.
Raed hates silver worse than he does
Harrison. The Globe Democrat says:
ut il understood that some OF the fed.
eral appointments in Maine have been
obnoxious to Nj. Reed, and that he
holds a deep grudge against Gen. Har-
rison in consequence. The silver bill,
therefore, would offer a grand oppor-
tunity for the speaker to square accounts
in this direction. IT is safe to say, how
ever, that IL such u chance is actually
sought this particular one will not BIO
seized. The Maine statesman is much
much more pronounced than the In
dianian in hostility te free silver or any
thing closely approaching that scheme.
He has greater ability and force OF
character, his convictions are stronger,
and his likes and dislikes are mor ar
dent and vigorous. All silver measures
in the special interest Of the miners and
spectators which reach the house will
encounter the earnest and active oppo-
sition Of Nj. Reed"

The people OF Butte. regardless Of party,
are for a compromise in Helena and the
passage Of needed laws.-lnter Mountain.
Then why should not the representa-
tive men in both parties in Butte get
together and prepare a plan Of adjust
ment that will be satisfactory to the
people Of Silver Bow and bring it to
Helena. The stumbling block here has
been that no way could be found by
which Silver Bow could have her full
representation il the two houses come
together. The other fifteen counties are
all right and whenever both parties to
the controversy in Silver Bow can pre-
sent a plan that will satisfy them the
minor details can be readily settled.
Tho people of Silver Bow county could
not do a more patriotic service to the
than to resolve themselves into
Of the whole and agree as to

In fact, ali reports to the contrary, he has

SUBJECTING THE LION,
Prof. Darling Says the Human Eye Theory
is All Nonsense,

IL All Nonsense.
l asked Prof. Darling what truth there
was in the general theory that a lion can be
kept in %subjugation by the mere power of
the human eye. says a writer in a contem-
porary. He said il was all nonsense. Lions,
he ayerred, were held in subsection through
fear. They are afraid of a human being.
A lion born in the jungle stands in greater
fear of man than a lion born and brought
up in captivity, for the reason that to the
captive lion the human figure becomes In
miliar, and the element of fear sprinpinp
from "a strange and unusual appearance
does not operate. Darling turns his back
on the lions IN the arena without any hest
%tation. and the lions are just as we'll
behaved when his back is turned on them
AS when he is looking at them. It is all
right, however. he says, to keep your
eye on 4 lion, just as it il entirely proper
and necessary to keep our eye on any dan
you want to know what an antagonist pro-
poses to do. He says, however, that there
il nothing of the sneak about a lion ut all.
II he means to attack You he gives yon fair
notice. The other popular idea. that the
taste of blood increases the f~erocity Of the
lion, he says, is founded In fact. II ia pref
ty dangerous for q lion TO bite you, oven by
accident.
/ asked him. also, if it was unusual
anon lion tanners to cut the claws of lions
or to pull their teeth. He said that the old
time lion tanners used TO cut their claws oc-
casionally. but it was impossible 10 pull
their teeth without breaking their jaws. az
the teeth we're go long and 50 strong and 80
firmly imbcdded Ill the bone. lie had
never attempted to cut their claws, for The
reason that lions did not like to be DIS
tarbed by manicnring, hated to be mastered
its already mentioned, and tho effect of
such proceeding was 10 make them more
ferocious than otherwise they would be.
He said he had no doubt that lions or.
c%asionally suffered from toothache, because
he had found decayed teeth III their cages
That had dropped out of their jaws. But be
had never hoard of lions undergoing dent
istry Of any kind, Of any steps ever having
been taken to preserve their teeth. As 10

years of age when in captivity. When nj

CLARksON's OPPORTUNITY.

The sagacity Of old Chief Red Cloud
is apparent in his explanation that his
people have suffered wrongs because the
Indians have no newspapers to speak
for them. Without sufficient evidence
to hold Red Cloud on the charge Of
plagiarism it occurs to us that a similar
view Of the entire country was n C
expressed by the late political weather
cock General Clarkson. While he found
no lack Of brilliant newspapers he re-
GREETED that only n small minority were
advocating the cause Of the people. His
ASSUMPTION that the republican party
and the people were synonymous terms
led to the establishment OF certain hui
morously illustrated journals for the
purpose Of clinching the people in the
republican pillory. The failure of the
people to walk blindfolded to their pun
ishment reflects on General Clarkson's
political sagacity rather than his dis
tinctive journalistic ability. II he is
ambitious to become a newspaper hero
in a popular emancipation why should
he not begin in a more limited field.
Here is a great nation Of untutored red
men crying for the filling OF q "long felt
want" They are starved, frozen, moved
about and mauled about in every way
because they have no newspapers to
speak their wrongs. Is this not an in
viting field for the hero who would be
worshipped? 1t is possible that an in
vestigation would disclose enough fea-
lures to make a %pecuniary success Of the
enterprise. Red Cloud would doubtless
be willing to direct the policy of the
paper while Clarkson for a time could
devote himself to scooping contempor-
aries on war news If necessary the
medicine men could assist in moulding
public opinion. All that is needed is a
man at the helm familiar with righting
wrongs. One failure in this direction
does hot necessarily d~isqualify General
Clarkson. Reforming 6O,0O0,000 people
is a task that should be undertaken by
degrees and to this end we recommend
that his first efforts be directed to the
welfare Of the Sioux. When this work
is finished he a adjust the wrongs of
the people Of Silver Bow county, and SO
on until he finds himself better armed
for the great work Of bringing the people
at large under the big tariff yoke.

COPYRIGHT.

WI
Among various beneficial measures
awaiting the action OF the senate, none
deserves moro prompt and careful atten-
ton than the International copyright
bill. We have a pressing duty to per-
form in this matter, and a stain to re-
move from the national conscience. For
years we have been openly violating the
eighth commandment, so far as this
question is concerned, and it is but a
sorry excuse to declare that all the ad-
vantage resulting from the breach was
on u side, and that the victim was the
foreigner. The product of a mans
brain is as much his private personal
property as the labor Of his hands. Pla-
glarism is in plain English, robbery.
The pending measure is practically the
Chace bill, which passed the senate last
session, but was lost in the house. Why
things turned out that way might form
the subject OF an interesting discussion
in political ethics. On the surface we
might be led to suppose that the moral
air OF the senate is much superior to that
OF the lower house, and that the Ameri-
can house Of lords has a keener appreci-
ton OF intellectual effort and the re-
wards which are it's due than their col
leagues in the other chamber.
The advocates of the measure are in
good heart. The senate, of course. is
safe, and the opposition, which was
formerly encountered in the house OF
representatives., seems to have almost
dwindled away. There is neither amuse.
ment nor profit to be derived from a
system Of organized piracy, when every
man IS at perfect liberty to play the
pirate, and no n can secure a
ly OF the business. But we have not vet
reached the millennium, and it is scarce.
ly to be wondered at that there are still
certain individuals who are desirous OF
getting something for nothing, and who
have embodied their desire in the form
OF amendments to the measure. For in
stance, there are certain publishers in
the state OF Maine who have been issu.
ing for advertising purposes chromos
executed from designs by European
artists. These men want their profts
protected, and the eighth commandment
blotted from the decalogue for their
special benefit. 1t might be just as well
for them to call q convocatlon of their
spiritual pastors and masters, and rep.
resent to them the absolute necessity Of
a revision of the moral law that forbide
the appropriation OF other peoples prop
erty without their leave. They could
draft the form they desire, and We
might suggest "Thou shalt not steal
except it be a dago's picture" Another
amendment crops up, that certainl,
ought to be dismissed az a sure thins
game. An American publisher, it il
proposed, shall be entitled to reprint tn,
works Of any foreign author, provided h
pays the author 10 per cent. upon TIN
retail price. In other words, he will ad
nit that he is stealing, and will com
promise with the lawful owner on a Ger
tain percentage. We can only hope tina

the good n and tho honesty Of the
senate will rcpudiate all these attempts
to annul the value Of the measure, and
send II in It's present form TO the house.
The bill is not perfect, but amendments
mcan delay, and delays are dangerous in
this case, as in many others. Tho pub
lie honesty ia at stake, and the sooner
ii is indicated, the better.

Advertising Aphorisms.

Advertising, like the honey bee, should

effective than one ten-cent impression.

rock. Little irritations wear on the pub
lie.

Spasnodic advertising is the most
costly. What would you think OF per-
son rowing boat who turned around
every few strokes to see how far he had
gone?l
Boys, beggars, tramps and people who
never buy anything are usually the ones
who solicit free advertising matter.
Never go into advertising without a
plan, and if you cannot make plan
yourself get some one who can to help
you.

THE GREAT CANALS.
The Sault Ste. Marie Has More Traffic
Than the Suez, However.

Here are some figures which, by COM
parison, will show the importance OF the
$500" Canal to commercial importance
little suspected by the public generally.
The traffic of the Suez Canal for 1890 was
$3.50 vessels, registering 6,S90,0I4 net
tons, as against 3 ,425 vessels and $685.
1871 tons for 1889, The traffic Of the Sault
Ste. M RE Canal, during 234 days navi-
CATION was open in 1889, was 8 ,576 vessels
and 1921 1886 net tons, and in 1890 it was
1857 vessels and s ,454, $50 net tons-that
is to say in 1889 the lock at the $500"
passed IL per cent more tonnage than the
suez Canal and in the 22S days that the
canal was open last year, 1928 per cent
more tonnage passed through it than
through the Suez Canal.
This commercially great but little
known strip of water has been the direct
cause of the railroads losing freight
amounting to more than 220,0OO,000
bushels of wheat, 100000 tons Of coal,
iron ore and copper, and many thousands
Of tons of northwestern products during
the last few years. 1t is easily to be sur
missed that when the great work now in
course OF construction is completed which
will be in about two years, the railroads
will suffer from keener competition in
proportion with the increased depth and
capacity of the canal, which will permit
through lake shipments at cheaper rates
Of freight and with greater convenience to
those who live and produce in the great
lake DISTRICTS From the Illustrated

Foreign Commerce and immigration

Foreign Commerce and immigration.
Statistics are not usually interesting to
the average reader, but the statements
made this week by the treasury bureau
of statistics Of the foreign commerce and
Immigration of the United States for the
fiscal year endinr June 80, 1891, contains
figures that would interest every intelli-
gent person. The total value of our
foreign commerce was 81, 729, 1896, 1896, a
much larger amount than 1T ever reached
before in single year. We imported
merchandise to the amount of 1914, 905, 491
and exported 1914, 425, sos worth. The
Mckinley tariff law went into effect on
October 6, 1890, and from that time until
June 80, 1891, few days less than nine
months, we imported merchandise to the
value Of $500, 206,005, against 1898, 769, 905
during the corresponding period in the
preceding fiscal year. During the same
period the value OF goods admitted free
of duty was 1926, 1868, 665, as against
$20S, 1888 1873 during the same time in the
preceding fiscal year. More gold was ex-
ported during the last fiscal year than in
any single year of our history. Here are
the figures: Exported, $50, 1858, 1922; i'm
ported, $18,246,512. The total immigra-
ton into the United States during the
fiscal year was 555,4 96, against 45l ,119
the preceding year, the increase being
largely from the following countries ::
Italy, 23,354; Austria-Hungary, 14,S61 !;
Germany, 81 ,122, and Russia, including
Poland, 2S,245. Stop and think a
moment over these figures; it will en-

Fertile Chehalis.

Where our giant trees have been
cleared away and the wholesome rays of
the sun are allowed to beat upon the
ground and exert their purifying and
stimulating influence, small fruits grow
in the greatest variety and attain per-
lection that elsewhere the untiring care
and skill Of the experienced horticulturist
rarely accomplishes. All sorts of agri-
cultural products yield in an abundance
that seems fabulous to the farmer OF the
east; and splendid results are obtained
from orchard fruits = such as apples,
pears, prunes, etc.
No demand for lumber could make
a visible impression on the supply with-
in the county limits. Before one-half
the country could be logged, that gone
over first would have reproduced crop
the equal in size and quantity OF that
OF which it was denuded.
But the soil responds too readily to the
farmers slightest effort, for it to be
allo wed to return to it's primeval occupa-
ton Of supplying food for forests; after
the logger's ak comes the husband nan,
and the soils wonderful fertility is turn
ed into channels through which it is con-
verted into food for man.
The change from timber to an agri-
cultural country is being made slowly,
it is tue; but none the less surely and
when the change is effected; what gar
