GOOD WORK TELLS.

The Public Shows Its Appreciation of
Talent and Treatment
1t is just about a year since Miss Mitchell
opened her millinery establishment in the
Grandon block on Warren stresf. The
location was a good one, the store tastefully
fitted ny, but greater than all the proprie-
tor showed she was a woman of excellent
taste the first day she invited the ladies to
call, by displaying more of the abandonment
Donnets and hats ever shown in Helena.
As a result the establishment attracted a
large patronage from the best people in the
city at the start and it has held them.
There are constantly employed in the mil
linery department five assistants, including
Miss Leckie, who has the reputation OF
being the finest trimmer in the northwest.
Becently there was added a dressmakinR
department.. This is under the charge OF
Miss Shamp, whose reputation rs q modiste
is SO well known to Helena ladies. In both
departments Miss Mitchell keeps fully
abreast of all the latest things demanded
by Dame Fashion, and to do 80 goes east
at the beginning of every season.

cHURN1Ne BY MACHINERY.

Where the caurning of the cream is
done by hand it entails a most arduous
task upon some member of the farm
household, and in many cases it falls to
the lot of the housewife. During the
summer, where from three to five cows
are kept, there is hall an hour Of this
heavy work every day. There Is often
a large dog watching the operation of
churning that he may obtain his usual
fill Of buttermilk. A treadnill can be
obtained for a few dollars, and the dog
made to do the work, and you may
watch the operation or devote your time
to other household duties. With the
improved, or ever the common powers,
a dog, weighing fifty pounds, al do the
churning of the cream from five cows,
and not injure himself. Such work in
hot weather should be done early in the
morning while it is cool. The butter
churned then will be frmer. If the dog
is treated kindly, and petted, he will
gladly do the work and be ready at the
call, or appear as 0 as preparations
are deserved for the operation. Calves,
sheep and goats are often used in tread
mills, but the dog is the most cleanly and
is best adapted to the work. Human life
is too short to spend much of it manip-
ulating the churn dasher, especially
when other power is so plentiful. An
attachment can be placed on the wind
mill, but Gains interfere.-American
