from the COCOA bean M Ia all chocolate and
COCOA but differs from all other prepara-
tions OF that kind by having the excess Of
fat found in tho benn extracted, making 1t
more soluble and more easily digested.
Mr.. Van Houten, Senior. was the first to
prepare a cocoa from which tho excess OF
fat was extracted, and which preparation is
now known as Van Houten'a pure soluble
cocoon. 1t is manufactured in Weesp, a small
village in Holland. The company has the
largest and oldest factory Of It's kind in the
world. employing 1900 workmen, and the
plant costing 81. 900, 900. They have branch
houses In London, Paris, Melbourne, New
York and Chicago, and their advertising
alone in the last year cost them 81, 100000.
They have given exhibits at all the great
oxpositions in the world, and carried Oft
the medal in most instances. At the Paris
exhibition they transported from Weespto
that city a three-story stone building, in
which they displayed their exhibits. Three
years were spent in searching throughout
Holland for antique paintings and furni-
ture with which to furnish his house. The
tables we're presided over by girls dressed
in the costume of the Holland peasant.
Very picturesque they must have looked as
with a winsome smile they offered the deli
cious drink to the sight-seer, reminding
one of Van Dykes celebrated paintings.
The Baroness Rothschild offered to pur-
chase the building, with its paintings and
furniture. but the offer was refused by Mr..
Van Houten, us he desired to bring it to the
Uuited States at the time of the Worlds
fair in 1898. They will expend at that time
$4,000 on their display, and will bring
with them their own architects to supervise
the erection of the building.
Mr.. Lane. the gentlemanly agent now in
Helena, will be glad to have all the ladies
and gentlemen of Helena call and get a cup
of the cocoa.

Speaking yesterday of queer names in
Montana, II. M. Beadle, n gentleman we'll
acquainted with the topography and his
tory of the state said: '"i'he only Soap creek
in this state that | know Of rises in the Big
Horn mountains and after a northwest
course Of some twenty-five miles empties
into the Big Horn river, about ten miles
north of the mouth Of the great Big Horn
canyon. Its main source is a great spring.
rising in a canyon in the mountains, and
the waters which it afterwards receives is
in~considerable. Its name is a misnomer,
for there Is nothing saponaceous about its
waters, which. for ten miles from it's source,
are pure, cool and limpid. and lave all the
grace of wine.' 1t runs, / should say, 1000
inches of water, and is full of trout until
its waters become warm, making a delight
full source of pleasure to the tourist, who
camps for a few DAYS on its banks.
1.-The Grow Indians call the stream Min
ME Tomay'. The accent is on the first syl-
liable of Minnie and on the last syllable of
'Tomay'. TIL name literally means water
warm, but ia interpreted Warm Springs,
and some whites call the creek by that
name. It is SO called by the Grows, because
some miles from it's source it does not
freeze over in the COOLEST weather, owing
to its source.
IF anyone who enjoys outdoor life in
Montana land who does not?) will spend
his vacation on this delightful stream, he
will ever after protest against the name of
Soap being applied to it,"
