DigestibilitY of Enods.

Calls foot jelly, tripe and rice are the
articles of food most easily digested, the
time required for the first being only
thirty minutes, and for the other two
one hour each. Among the fish the
short fiber of the whiting, the chicken
of the sea-" makes it easily digestible
But the foods that are most easily
digested are not always the most
nutritious. Thus rice, which is more
extensively used as an article Of food
than anything else, forming as it does
the principal diet OF third of the
human race, is not nearly so nutritious
as wheat or some other grains, though
it is far more easily digested than they (;
more than nine-tenths of its substance
consists of starch and water, and it con-
sequently forms more fat than muscle
Digestion is rather hindered by care and
worry or i'll health. The process usually
occupies from two to three hours

A HARDwoRkINe WOMAN.

All day she hurried to get through,
The same as lots Of wimmin do:
Sometimes at night her husban said,
"Ma, amt you goin to come to bedr
An then she'd kinder give a hitch,
An pause half way between a stitch,
An sorter sigh, an say that she
Was ready as she'd ever be,
She reckoned.
An 30 the years went, one by one,
An somehow she was never done;
An when the angel said as how,
mis- Smith, it's time you rested now"
She sorter raised her eyes to look
A second, as n stitch she took.
"All right, I'm comm now" says she,
I'm ready as I'll ever be,

NanoIeon,s Talisman.

Louis Napoleon, who believed himself,
even amid exile and poverty, destined to
that throne which the prestige of his
name and his cunning coup d'etat en-
abled him to reach, was not without his
superstitons. In his will he says, "With
regard to my son, let him keep as tails
man the seal used to wear attached to
my watch" This talisman had no power
to turn aside the fatal spears of the
zulus, and the Young Napoleon met a
sadder fate than his fathers worst fears
could have imaginea for him.--Detroit

TwO NEEDED

The movement in favor OF excluding
the crowds of outsiders from national
conventions is gaining ground rapidly.
Col. Mcclure, Of the Philadelphia Times,
in recounting the scenes at the repub-
loan national convention Of 1860 ascribes
| the nomination OF Lincoln largely to the
packing of the convention hall with
Lincoln's friends. He says that while
Stewards followers were engaged in an
imposing demonstration Of force IN a
street parade the adherents Of his rival
took possession Of the vast wigwam and
shouted their candidate through when
it came to the balloting. A writer in
the Point of View in the September
number of Scribner's Magazine, in com-
menting on this circumstance, says:
There is much evidence that q like
strategem was employed this year in at
least one of the great party conventions,
but it failed" This we suppose refers
to the republican convention at Mime
apolis where Harrison was renominated
in spite Of the Blaine shouters. The
illustration is hardly a fair one. That
convention was in no sense a popular
one. 1t was in complete possession from
the first OF Mr.. Harrison's bread-and-
butter brigade. The delegates we're
marshaled by New, Carter, and other of
tho presidents beneficiarles, and hun
dreds Of them held federal offices de-
pendent on their votes. Upon such a
body the popular sentiment, which was
so overwhelmingly for Blaine, could
make no impression. Reform undoubt-
eddy is needed in the direction OF limit
ing the number of spectators at national
conventions, as has been suggested, but
the greatest of all reforms will be &C
complished by overwhelmingly rebuking
at the polls this fall the methods by
which Benjamin Harrison sought to
p~erpetuate himself in office. This is a
reform that appeals to the heart and
conscience of every patriotic voter.

A FEW days ago according TO the Now
York World, Chairman Carter refused q
request from the republican state com-
mittee Ut Montana for $1,oon. but sent
to a personal friend IN this state a check
for that amount, to be- used in Carriers
senatorial canvass. Later.on the World
reports that Col. Sanders was oloseted
with Mr.. Carter, Now the question IL,
Did Sanders mako a demand OH Carter
that the $1,000 be transferred to his "
senatorial boom account? Or did he
ask for a like amount for himself Or
did he withdraw in Carriers favor!
These are interesting speculations for

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-A morning paper
prints the following: Gilbert G. Rice. the
man whose suferinRs at the hands of the
Tennessee miners did SO much TO turn ssnti-
ment against them, passed through here
yesterday en- route for Boston to consult a
specialist abou an ailment resulting from
his maltreatment by the miners. Rice said
the men captured him while he wal investi-
eating some land he was about to purchase,
and thinking he was a spy, set about to de-
wise means to punish him. 1t was decided
to tie him by the neck to one of the freight
cars side-tracked on a steep incline, with a
lariat one of the miners had. Rice, in re.
citing the story, says: ''The decision was
quickly carried out. The moose was drawn
around my neck and the brakes looseued.
Oae of the miners dropped the moose from
my neck to my waist. As the car
started the lariat Strengthened out

TIE BURLINGTON COMING

Few Montanians realize the benefits
this state may derive from the opening
up Of the Wyoming country just south
OF our border by the Burlington and
Missouri railway system. The extern
sion of that line will be in Sheridan by
the middle of October. Capt. Fl. E.
Palmer, an Omaha capitalist, who has
just returned from that point tells a
Bee reporter: "Sheridan hold the key
to the entire situation. It is $50 miles
from Cheyenne and just as far from
Helena. 1t is in the garden spot of
Wyoming. There are 100000 acres of
irrigable land within a radius of twenty
five miles Of Sheridan and 100000
acres in the Big Horn basin, only fifty
miles west of there. The B. e. M. has
completed it's line to Powder river, only
sixty miles southeast, and will be in
Sheridan by Oct. Is or 20. The graders
have 5000 teams at work and will keep
out of the way of the tracklayers. They
are grading in the town now. That is
to be the division, and all the shops for
repairs west of Alliance will be there.
1t will also be the junction where the
the line to the Yellowstone park, 14O
miles away, will start"
OF the Big Horn country Capt. Palmer
says: ut is not only the paradise Of the
tourist and sportsman, with it's wild,
rugged mountain scenery, beautiful
landscapes, delightful glens and noun
tain streams Of the purest water, filled
with luscious trout that would salts
f~actorily reward the efforts Of any
angler, but there is also a fertile valley,
the productiyeness of which is not ex-
celled anywhere. The mineral wealth of
that section is absolutely inestimable,
and | am satisfied that within a short
time the richest gold find aver made in
this country will be shown to exist right
there on the Big Horn.
1.-THE fertility Of the soil is shown by
what has been raised there-sixty-s seven
bushels OF wheat to the acre, forty-six
bushels Of barley on an acre and 131
bushels of oats On an acre, and oats have

pounds to the bushel, while standard
weight is thirty-two pounds to the
bushel. The first great prize of the
American Agriculturist for 1890 for the
largest yield OF potatoes in the whole
United States was taken by William J
Sturgis, living between the towns OF
Sheridan and Buffalo, on Piney creek
He raised o74 bushels Of potatoes to the
acre, as attested by a sworn statement
and received $500 in prizes, besides t
profit OF STA net above expenses"
The nearness Of this region to ~IIelenf
