BILLINGS, April 3O.-[Special. The en-
tertainment given under the auspices of the
Weman's Auxiliary, OH Wednesday even
ing, at the sansome building, was a success
in every respect. Over $50 waa realized by
the sale of tickets. Several children took
part in the enterprise. Owing to their in
defatigablo zeal Master Eddie Fraser and
Miss Winnie Burton left tho others far be-
hind in the number of their sales. The
juvenile brass band astonished every one
by the excellence of their playing, display
ing marked talent and rejecting great
credit upon their instructors.
After an overture by the band came a
recitation by Miss North, which was very
we'll rendered. 1t was warmly applauded,
and was followed by a duet sung by Mr.,
Kuhen, Of Helena, and Mr.. Brocking, who
CHANGED to be In town and were prevailed
upon to assist pom the OCCASION. They
were henrtily encored, but were unprepared

Hungerford. Mrs. Hungerford ia a great
~favorite with a Billings audience, and her
popularity is we'll meiited. After the rap-

This was we'll received. Next came MIS-.

What Opium Is.

Opium is the juice of the seed-ves-
sells of the white poppy. This species
of poppy grows wild ia England and
in the south of Europe, though it is
supposed to be native of Asia. ltis
cultivated for its opium in Hindustan,
Persia, Asia Minor and Egypt, also in
various parts of Europe. The juice is
obtained by making incisions in the
seed-vessel before il is quite ripe,
when the juice exudes and forms in
tears on the edges of the cuts. This
is left twenty-four hours, when 1T is
seraped off in brownish Jumps with a
blunt knife. 1t then undergoes q
process to prepare 1t for the market. -

A Neglected Food.

The people of this country do not
yet know how to use the banana. In
the tropical climates, where the
banana furnishes the principal article
of diet, the inhabitants have found
numerous methods of utilizing this
delicious fruit, which renders it at
once nutritious and palatabe. They
boil it. they bake it, as we do sweet
potatoes. they peel it, cut it in slices
and fry it in batter, they smash it
into paste and dry it in the sun, as
we do apples and peaches. They
make it into puddings, pies, comfits
and preserves, and even smother it in
sugar until it is a candied fruit. In
every one of these ways it is both
pleasant to the taste and wholesome as
an article of food - New York Jour-
nal.

The chief use of mica ia in the form
of thin sheets for stoves and furnaces.
For this purpose it must be clear and
free from bad spots, cracks, or blem-
ishes of any kind. The most desir-
able color is stated to be wine red. Of
late years there has arisen consider
able demand for mica in the form of
strips some eight inches long by one
inch wide for insulating purposes in
the manufacture of electrical appar-
tus. The qualities essential for these
purposes are toughness and freedom
from iron. There is a considerable
and increasing demand for ground
mica, which allows of the utilization
of the scraps, which must otherwise
go to waste. AT present eight grades
are prepared, the coarsest being used
to give spangled effect to fancy
grades of wall paper, while the finest
is used in producing uniform metal
lie white surface on the same. The
intermediate varieties are used mainly
in the manufacture of lubricants for
heavy machinery scientific Ameri-

Empty-empty-empty-evcry one OF
them, until the last. There was a
piece of soiled paper in that. She
drew it forth and saw that it was a
letter. 1t took her quite minute to
realize that the letter was in her own
handwriting, and that it was the only
letter she had ever written to him. 1t
was written in reply to his proposal
of marriage. .Dear Pete," it began.
and it ended: 81 will love you al
ways"
She felt as though some one had
struck her terrible blow, as she read
the words. She could hardly breathe.
1t seemed as though her heart had
stopped beating. She picked up the
tintype with her right hand and placed
it beside the letter. For moment
she looked at them with steady
glance. Then the tears came. Brush
ing them aside with her arm, she
threw the tintype into the blazing
fire. Half blinded by those that fol-
lowed, she ran to the door and rushed
out. In the moonlight she could see
the road he had just gone down to the
camp. He was out of sight and out
of hearing-out of sight and out of
hoo rinr but oba couly 1oun on q rOck
and beat on it with her hands.
"Pete-Pete-" she cried, "come
backbone back!"
She did not know how it happened
but it seemed to her as though he
must have flown back to her straight
through the air from the prospcctor's
camp down in the valley, for mo-
ment later she felt herself lifted in his
strong arms and carried into the
house. He placed her in chair and
gave her a drink of water (the only
medicine he knew and then said half
apologetically:

sistency for taking the round form.
The lead is melted in large vessel
and the arsenic compound is intro
duced into the middle of the molten
mass and stirred in. The vessel is
then covered and left for some hours,
during which time the arsenic becomes
thoroughly combined with the lead,
and the mixture is then tested by
dropping a little of it through colan-
der into water. If the drops assume
q long form, or are fattened on one
side OF in the middle, or are other
wise imperfect, It is understood that
the proportion of arsenic was not cor
rect.
When the entire mass of lead has
thus been brought to the proper con-
sistency it is run into bars, and these
are taken to the top of high tower.
They are again melted and poured
into large vessels of tin with holes in
the bottom, all perfectly smooth and
of uniform size. The drops of molten
lead falling through these holes from
the top to the base of the tower are
acted upon by currents of air, and
thus assume perfectly round form,
SO by the time they reach the bottom
they have become hard enough by
cooling to bear the shock of striking
the surface of large vessel of water
placed to receive them without alter
ing their shape at all.
The larger the shot to be made the
higher must be the tower. Usually
speaking, the shot tower is about 100
feet high, though it is sometimes 100
feet and upwards, and the highest
shot towers in the world are in Eu-
rope, where there are two as high as
25O feet. When the shot are taken
out of the water into which they fall,
they are dried and sorted according to
their size by sitting them through a
revolving cylinder, perforated with
holes. These holes increase in size
toward the lower end Of the cylinder,
the small shot dropping through above
and the larger lower down, and each
size is received into it's own box. The
shot are then taken and put into cyl
inder with pulverized lead, and kept
rotating for short time, so that al
are slightly coated with this substance,
and then they put up in tin tins OF
other vessels for use.-[Boston Culti-

The Listening Woods.

/ went to the leafy forest;
Not leaf, not flower was stirred;
Still, in its nook, was the dreaming Resk,
Still was the nesting bird.
/ looked at the shadowed moses,
looked at the nests o'erhead,
/ looked at the small brook dreaming
Alone in its sandy bed.
l listened long in the stiffness;
1 listened and looked in vain;
1t seemed that the silent forest
Never would wake again.

A wind of the Southland blew,
And it whispered, "The folk ofthe forest
Are listening, child, like you"

How Shot Is Made.

Shot is made of a mixture of lead
and some form of arsenic. The eff
