Virgie lee, for whose arrest an officer
from California is now in the city with a
requisition, is wanted in San Francisco on
the charge OF robbing a man of $ll5. She
is likewise wanted in Spokane Falls for
taking $3.50 from a man. Of this amount
she gave a hackman $50 to drive her out of
town and enable her to take the train at
another station. There is a similar charge
against the woman here, $50 being the
amount stolen. 1t looks as if her
career as high liver on
other peoples money was about to
CONF to an end. The chances are she will
be tried here first. If the Helena offense is
proved, it means about two or three years
at Deer Lodge for the adventures. If she
is acquitted the California authorities will
take charge of her and carry her to San
Francisco for trial. When she is through
at the Golden Gate, the Spokane people
want a chance at her. It looks az if she
was in for some trouble.

Within the short space of ten minutes
yesterday morning one-third of an inch of
rain fell in Helena. The water rushed
down Broadway in a torrent and Main
street presented the apr earance of q river.
The total rainfall for the day was six
tenths of an inch. So for this year the
rainfall in this vicinity has been twelve
inches. From Indications 1891 will beat
the record.

Some of the new things introduced by
chemists take very we'll. One of them is
setting up water in a small silver pitcher
instead of pouring it into the glass. A few
days age a man walked into a down town
place and called for whisky. The bottle
was placed on the counter along with two
glasses md a silver pitcher full of ice
water. The stranger WAS puzzled for awhile,
but finally poured out his whisky and
drank it. Then he picked up the pitcher,
looked at the contents, poured the water
into the crspidor, and handing the piece of
silver back, remarked: ''Thanks. please
wrap it up for me-" The barkeeper had to
be treated with q galvanic battery before he
revived sufficiently to attend to business.

The Salvation army did not turn out
very strong last night, as the march down
Main street ankle deep in mud was any
thing but pleasant. The leader did not
march at all. The colored member of the
army lifted the little fellow on
to his shoulders. Another mem
Der carried the LEADERS, rubber shoes,
and with four men on foot and one mounted,
the band ploughed it's way along. The little
captain sang "'IEere's a Homo Up in
Heaven to the accompaniment Of the
accordeon, and the others joined in the
chorus. The present captain of the Saliva
ton army is not over four foot two inches
high, but as he describes himself in his
nightly discourse at Main and Bridge
street, he is ''the man with seven lungs"
Another of his ~favorite expressions is, "Im
a better man than John l.. Sullivan. The
devil knocks Sullivan out and l knock the
devil out. Gelory."

A northern spinner recently mentioned
his estimated waste at IS $40 per cent.
but subsequently wrote me that he
thought it was then about IA per cent.
think that northern spinners usually
estimate it at 10 per cent. Even IL per
cent. seems a very large wastage from

using the gulf and southwest cottons-
from Texas, Louisiana. Mississippi. etc.

ence to cottons from the upper counties
OF Georgia, made largely by white peo-
ple-the farmers. their wives and chill
dren. who certainly handle the heecy
staple with far more care.
Tn cotton marketed at Marietta, in
Cobb county. about twenty-five miles
above Atlanta, is generally beautifully
white and clean. 1t is grown much
more abundantly han before 1860. and
almost always by the aid of fertilizers.
which hasten the maturity OF the cotton.

try is much sooner prepared for market

often ploS-ed in to make way for the

The treatment of boils should be, in
the first place, constitutional, aiming to
restore the vigor of the system. The
diet should be generous, without excess,
and easily digestible. The patient, while
avoiding exhaustion, should take n proper
moun of exercise, have an abundance
of pure air and wash ms body daily with
cool water and soap.
Local treatment also is needed. To
arrest the progress of a boil at its early
stage Sir Erasmus Wilson advises the
application of n solution of sugar of lead
every six or twelve hours with n camel's
hair brush. If this fails he would pro-
mote suppuration by spreading On it a
wash leather plaster of %galbanum and
opium, cut in the middle for the escape
of the pus.
If the pain continues to increase he
would apply soothing applications. When
the boil begins to heal he would keep the
skin around it dry, clean it with tar
soap and smear it with yellow rosin oint-
ment, dressing the broken surface with
lint spread with the same ointment,
keeping the dressing in position with
strips of adhesive plaster or by a light
bandage Youths Companion.

straight at the young man and said;

The silence was intense, and every eye
was on the young man, who was still
whispering to his girl He had been so
busy that he had not caught the preach
er's censure. Mr.. Jones repeated his re-
mark, and this time the young man
heard him. Not an instant did he hesi-
tate, but he Immediately tried to square
himself. While every one was watching
him he looked squarely at the preacher

How Col. White feeds the sparrow
Every day about 10 o'clock there ap
pears IN the doorway of the Pierrepont
house, Brooklyn, "a gentleman with gray
hair and whiskers of q rather English
pattern. The closely buttoned frock
coat shows the figure of 4 well kept
man, careful and methodical in his
habits. This mar Is Col p. White, who
for the last twenty years has been a
b%oarderat the Houtagues street hotel, and
who is rs well Known as the very name
of the house he inha5its.
Regular as n planet, rain or shine, Col
White appears with the same object in
view.
He feeds the spaTrows, who daily await
in the big tree opposite the hotel the n p
pearance Of their friend.
Generally Col. White has a handful of
corn bread. When he stands suuside
the door the little gray and l. 'wn birds
swoop down from their perchcs. Some
Of the boldest light ON Col. Whites arms
and shoulders, and there is one very Sc
date and methodical bird that will take
his stand on the coloneTs thumb and pick
crumbs from his open hand.
Not less than twenty sparrows are
regular in their attendance, and often
there are n half a hundred chirping and
twittering for their share of the food.
When the crowd is unusually large Col.
White walks around 70 the Hicks street
side and deals out the crumbs on the
sidewalk OF on the asphalt street. Some
Of the birds know his voice. and stand
around his feet twittering impudently
and impatiently for their rations. When
the meal is ended they are told to go,
and they do. but only to return about 5
o'clock in the afternoon for their dinner
from the same kind hnnds.-New York
