Arthur Manley, one of the pressmen,
had the misfortune to have his right
hand caught in the machinery that folds
the papers.
The press was stopped as quickly as
possible, but the hand was. held tightly
between the irons, and it was twenty-five
minutes before the heavy machinery
could be detached so that the crushed
member might be released.
Manley stood the ordeal with great
fortitude, and when his hand was finally
Withdrawn it was found to be terribly

the wounds, and found that no bones had
been crushed. The injury, however, is a
very painful one, and the hand will prob

Red Tape in France.
London Daily News.

LONDON Daliy news.
Our Paris correspondent gives the
following as true story of red-tape-
ism and Capitalization. A village in
the Department of Drome applied
two years ago to the Sub-Prefect for
leave 10 bring a water supply into the
village. The Sub-Prefect, as usual,
sent the application to the Project,
who forwarded it to the Minister of
the Interior in Paris, who handed it
on to the Minister of Public Works,
who laid 1t before the Council of
State, and then passed it on, no one
knows where. All this, however,
was but the usual routine. But here
is the interesting part of the story.
Some official in Paris stopped it's
further progress by remarking, like
the haymakers in the nursery rhyme,
that it was necessary to have a
sample of the spring. The Parish
Clerk accordingly filled bottle and
sent it to the Local Board OF Woods
and Forests, who handed it on to the
Sub-Prefecture and so the bottle
was passed from office to office in the
same order as before. When some
where in Paris an official chose to
express doubts as to its genuiDenes
the bottle was sent back circuitously
to the South of France, there to be
refilled and returned with q Ger.
tificate of origin. This was done,
and the bottle having been held to
the light in Paris, was sent back
again to the Laboratory of Valence
the county town of Drome, there to
be analysed. The report duly reach
ed the Minister, went through sew
eral departments in Paris, was sub
mitted to the Council of Health, and
went through other vicissitudes. A
few DAYS ago the village received the
required, having waited for it cou-
nile of wears.

Two Phases of Suicide.

New York Ledger.
If man, under the pressure of q
great calamity, or from any other
cause, suddenly takes his life. we
call him q suicide. Eighty or 100
years ago, persons guilty of self-mur-
der were denied Christian burial, and
stakes were driven through their
bodies to mark the adherence
in which the deed was held. Even
at this day ignOminy attaches to the
memories of those who have violated
the "canon 'gainst self-slaughter."
But there are other suicides than
those committed on the impulse of
the moment. Thousands upon thouc-
ands of human beings destroy them
selves slowly and deliberately. They
would shrink with horror from the
idea of summarily putting a period to
tneir lives, but they kill themselves
by inches with the utmost GOODNESS.
The excessive indulgence of vicious
appetites is as fatal, In the end, as
strychnine, and every intelligent de-
bauchee knows the fact.
A homicide committed under IN
tense excitement is considered more
excusable than deliberate murder.
Why should not the same rule ap-
ply to suicide?

Teach them to do homework and to
make their own clothes, but do not
give them any hard or combining
studies during this period of their
lives.
After this I wonld give them three
years schooling, directing their
studies as much as possible in some
line that would be practical, and in a
line that they seemed to have an in
clination for. The result will be that
they will have q practical education
and be better fitted for their future
lives than they would be If they had
gone through q fashionable seminary

There was where she struck the kew
note of her difficulty. When God
said that man should earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow he did not
say that every one should WELD a pick
and shovel, nor that every woman
spend all her days with a scrubbing
brush In her hands, but he did mean
that every one should do their
part in the necessary work of life &C.
cording to the place that they found
themselves In; and as compen sation
for the work he ordained that the true

proved and the lands segregated from

missioner has sent the diagram to the
surveyor general OF Montana, and re-
quested him to SEM tracings showing
the localities OF approved mineral sur
veys in conflict with the proposed res
ervoir sites, and to Indicate what pro-
portion OF the sites are agricultural
lands. The commissioner proposed
to confne the reservoir sites to such
lands n boundaries as may be neces-
sary for obtaining water and to no
greater extent. He says there is no
necessity that these sites should be so
deliberately carried out as to impair
the vested rights of citizens. Mr.. Car
ter had a tilt with the director when
he was / n congress, and his friends say
he then came out first best and he is
not afraid to tackle him again. There
is such a vast amount of humbug in
the geological survey, and especially
so far as it pertains to irrigation, that
the commissioner is assured of an easy
victory if the contest is carried on to
a finish.

THE SHEEP INDUSTRY.

A number of our exchanges have
recently published statistics showing
the rapid growth of the sheep indus
try in Montana. The Stockman says
1.-The first band of sheep e brought
to Montana came from the Pacific
coast in the summer of 1867, and
were located somewhere in the Prickly
Pear valley. The band comprised
about 500 head, and no provision in
the way OF shelter or winterf feed having
been made, the whole outfit persisted
before the succeeding spring"
In the territorial auditors report
for the year1S6s, Montana is credited
with l,752 head OF sheep and goats,
the valuation of which was placed at
S9,6S5. The industry did not make
much progress for a period of ten
years from the above date. But its
growth in the past fourteen years has
been remarkable. In 1877 the records
show 79,2SS head, while at present
there are over 1000, 600 head in the
state. The advent OF railroads gave
an impetus to the industry, and the
demand for mutton which set in about
three years ago and which is con-
stantly growing, has made the industry
the safest and most profitable OF any
in the state. The following tablecom-
piled from the territorial and state
auditors reports shows the growth of
the industry in the past fourteen

A foul and unnatural murder was
that of w. j. Penrose, OF the Butte
Mining Journal. He vas shot down
in the street at midnight, and there is
yet no clue to the assassin. Although
Penrose was aggressive and somewhat
dissipated, he was nevertheless a man
OF generous impulses and fine abilities.
He made some bitter enemies in Butte
through his paper, and 1T is thought
his death was the result OF a conspir'
acy on the part OF a number who had
been attacked. He had told friends
that he expected to be waylaid some
night. The deceased was a member o.
the legislature from Silver Bow county
