There are 80 many "branches" 70
the sheep business that almost any
farmer who consider the matter care
fully in ali its bearings will find some
handle by which he can grasp it to
advantage. One may find his best
profit in feeding sheep, another III
raising mutton lambs, another in I'm
ishing sheep that can be bought up
.eheaply as stockers. In this way the
business offers good inducements for
keeping a small flock. Larger farm
ers, who have good areas of pasture,
will find their best profit in handling
for wool, or for wool and mutton to-
gether. There is no question but that
at present selling prices mutton can
be made cheaper, propOrtionally, than
any other meat.

Mining Literature.

The growth of mining literature
in Montana during the past five years
has kept pace with the splendid dev-
elopment of our mining resources.
Less than five years ago the Montana
Mining Review was vshe sole rep
resentative of the mining industry in
this State ;now, foil owing the trail
the Review has biased out for them,
there are about fifty weekly papers
published in the State, nearly every
one of whom make a specially Of our
chief industry, and as the years 60
by both will grow, even more largely
in the future that ''nothing succeeds
like success and the mines of Mon
tana, ably assisted as they are by the
united press of the entire State, will
carve out name and place among
the neurological records Of the prcc
ious metal diggings of the world
worthy of their peerless capabilities.

Economy in the Mine.

Economy is as much surety of sue
cess in mining as in the management
of grocery or dry goodsho This
fact is coming to be more Thoroughly
appreciated year by yea- in the mining
camps of Montana. There isno doubt
but that bad management and extra
vagance have led to failure in working
low grade mines when business meth
cd and careful supervision would have
made the same a paying property. The
wonderful results from the Drum
Lummon mine, as shown by the half
year report just issued,may be pointe
to as an instance of where strict econ
omy has been observed in dealing
with low grade ore. Under the pre-
sent management the mine has yield
ed total profit of f6S6,394, and of
this amount f537,O ,O57 has been paid
out in dividends. The great mining
companies are those that have been
most carefully conducted.
Instances could be pointed out
from among the comparatively new
properties in Neihart and Barker
where thousands OF dollars have deem
lost in careless work. But we be-
licve some lessons have been learned
which will not be f.rgotten and the
experience may not be SO costly
in the end after all. A large amount
of money will be put into developing
the mines of these two camps during
the next year. 1t is not only in the
interest of the mine owners themselves
but the sum total of what is accom-
plished and the G eneral progress must
depend i'll large measure upon the
business way in which the work is
done. Economy is wealthy in every
thing.-Gt. FaIls Leader

Won an and the Steam Engine

1t takes sand to run an engine; so
it does to run a woman.
There is usually great hustle
about an engine; so there is about a
woman.
An engine is an object of much
wonder and admiration to men and
of fear to horses; so is woman.
When an engine goes off the track
it usually takes man or more along
with it; so does woman.
An engine is known by its COM
pany; so is a woman.
An engine will sometimes blow a
fellow up if he puts on too much pres
sure; so will woman.

Boot Polishing Machine.

A machine has been patented for use
in the Office or the home which will
enable the matutinal ''slline" to be
achieved under new conditions of case
and economy. The machine is so con.
structed that the operator can seat him
self in front of it, place his feet on the
rests each side of a rotary roller. brush
the inner sides at the same time, and
by alternating the feet from one rest to
the other enable the whole surface of
the shoe to be effectively polished.
Underneath the brush is depressible
foot plate set ON springs to afford easy
position for finishing the top of the
shoe. A belt from a driving wheel en-
cages with V-grooved wheel on the
shaft of the brush and drives it at a
multiplied speed. The shoes are cleaned
of dust or dried mud very quickly, and
the backing is applied in the usual
manner by daubing brush. after
which the polishing process is quickly
completed. New York Telegram.

Wood More Fireproof Than Iron.

In his recent lecture on fire proven
ton Professor Goodman states that,
generally speaking, wooden joists are
better for buildings than steel or iron
joists. The two latter materials, he ex-
planned, lose their strength at not
very high temperature, whereas wood
would sustain a heavy strain for much
longer period when exposed to great
heat. Besides when wood has once
been charred it does not burn so readily
again.
Iron and steel soon expand under the
influence of heat. Brick and stone are
objectionable; the former become fused
under great heat, and the latter is liable
to crack or fly when suddenly cooled
after heating. The drawback to tiles
isthat when fire plays upon the joists
of floors fitted with them the joists ex-
pand and allow the fire to play upon
the joists through the tiles. Portland
cement is Objectionable, as it flakes off
when heated, but If wire netting or
bars are ilnbedded in concrete this de-
feet is remedied.
A joist padded with silicate of cotton
and incased in salamander plaster "a
mixture of silicate. cotton and plaster
of paris), the professor holds, is splen-
did ffreproofing material Such ma
terial is not only nonconductor, but
it is elastic and would yield with the
joist. In an experiment undertaken by
Professor Goodman it was found that a
joist of this kind withstood very fierce
heat for eight to nine hours without
sustaining any serious damage. =

SEVEN YEARS AND DIVORCE.
A Chicago Lawyers Idea. which VIII
lie Regarded as Original.


lie Regarded as Original
The Chicago attorney of scientific
turn of mind who evolved the idea OF
what is known as the seven year amend
inent to the divorce law, may or may
not have siinpliiled one of the greatest
social problems An absolute eonclu-
sion in this regard viii be impossible
until the amendment becomes an act
and the practical workings OF the new
statute have been tested by more OF
less intelligent and impatient commu-
nifty. 1t may not be generally under
stood that the suggested legislation is
imperative as deduction from consid-
Grafton of what is known of the con
slant change occurring in particles OF
the human body.
Each Individual is made up of atoms,
and each day some of these atoms are
cast off to be replaced by others from
the food we eat, the water we drink
and even the air we breathe. Mis-
Jones. though perhaps quite rs charm
ing as she was n week ago, is not en-
tirely the same person, nor is Mr.. Smith
the same young man he was. Each
has lost a portion of the body and each
has gained an equivalent
There is the same general contour as
before, but there is slight difference
in material. In course of time this
change will be complete. Every recent
atom of Miss Jones or Mr. Smith will
have gone out into the great world and
new atoms viii have taken their re-
spective places. Miss Jones and Mr..
Smith will be new people.
The consensus of learned opinion is
that the body changes entirely once in
every seven years. Now, suppose Mr..
Smith and Miss Jones to wed. Mr..
Smith has sworn to cherish the lady
who has just become his wife, not some
other woman, and, vice versa, Mrs.
Smith, nee Jones, has made pledges OF
equal solemnity and import to love
none other than the man beside her.
For time it is all right, that is, rela-
lively so, Eut at the end of a year only
six-sevenths of the present Mrs. Smith
remain, while Mr.. Smith has suffered
an equal variation.
At the end of seven years Mrs. Smith
is not the same woman Smith married,
nor is he the same man whom she prom
ised to cleavc to. There is not a particle,
not one jot or title. remaining about
either of the couple who were married.
Clearly their relationship is scandalous,
and something should be done about it.
To remedy the evil the amendment to
the divorce law makes separation at
the end of seven years permissible il
not mandatory.
OF course it is claimed by the oppo-
nents of the proposed legislation that
neither Mrs. Smith nor Mr. Smith can
properly be deemed unfaithful, since
neither longer exists, and the argument,
it must be admitted, hasits force. But,
admitting the assumption, who are the
two people at present living together
under the name of Smith, and what ex-
cuse have they for the relations now
existing7 Should not they either sepa.
rate or marry without delay2-C Chicago

A Cat Setting on Eggs.

A cat story comes from Bridgeport,
Conn. Mike is brindle puss belong
ing to Miles b. Ferris. Twenty eggs
packed in sawdust were standing in the
window of Mr.. Ferris saloon, when
Mike took it into his head to go to sleep
on them. Every attempt has been
made to drive him away from the box,
and every inducement in the way of
soft beds was offered to him, but he
persists in lying on those eggs all day,
only leaving them long enough to eat
and drink. Next week the period of
incubation will have expired. What
Mike will do with his brood if he is
successful is an interesting question.
But perhaps he knows what he is about,
and is Matching them for his own
