During the latter part of the Eight
zenith century the dinner table pre-
scented a far less splendid appearance
than it does now. It was appropri-
ated to solid food rather than to
flowers, fruits and decorations. Nor
was there much glitter of plate upon
it, for the early dinner hour rem
dered candlesticks unnecessary, and
silver forks had not come into gen
eral use, while the broad, rounded
end of the knives indicated the sub
stitute generally used instead of
them.
The dinners, too, were more home
ly, though not less plentiful and sa-
worry, and the bill Of fare in one
house would not be SO like that in
another as it is now, for family re
cipes were held in high estimation.
A grandmother of culinary talent
could bequeath to her defendant
fame for some particular dish, and
might influence the family dinner
for generations.
One house would pride itself on its
ham, another on its game pie, and a
third on it's superior furmity or tan
sy pudding. Beer and homemade
wines, especially mead, were more
largely consumed, Vegetables were
less plentiful and less various. Pc
tatoes were used, but not SO album
dainty as now, and there was ar idea
that they were to be eaten only with
roast meat.-Memoirs of Jane Aus

WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY.
Nine Thousand Trout to be Placed
in Sun River and Belt Creek.

The consignment of trout mentioned
Yesterday as being en- route from Colo
RADIO to Great Falls will be here on We'd
nesday next. Of the number received
5000 will be put in the Sun river at the
railroad bridge and the remaining 1000
will be put in the Belt at Goodman's.
The trout are all two years old. The
bass which are coming are two and three
years old, and they will all be put in the
Sun river. Captain Tailor is interesting
himself in stocking the streams here and
will interest himself this winter in an
cndeavor to secure Legislation for the
protection of the fish. SEEMING and kill
ing fish with explosives are now prohib-
tied by statute, but the law is practically
a dead letter. Numerous violations are
reported but a conviction is unheard Of.
Captain Taylor will endeavor to have a
stringent law passed here this winter
against this wanton destruction of fish,
and also to have an enactment requiring
that all ~irregating bitches be so arranged
at their head that the fish cannot enter
them and float out upon the fields. He
has copies of the laws in the older states
and from them he will arrange one suit
able for Northumberland Falls Tribune.

Habits of Public Singers.

Do you know how many famous
lady singers have contrived and still
contrive to strengthen their voices9
Nine. Sontag, by eating sardines;
Nine. Despierre, by drinking hot
water; Nine. Cruvelli, claret; Nine.
Patti, settler water; Nine. Nilsson,
beer; Nine. Cabot, by eating pears;
Nine. Trebelli, strawberries; Nine.
Borghi-Mamo, by taking snuff; Nine.
Dorus-G ras, by eating cold meat.
Several singers of the male sex
also have INDUCED in similar freaks.
Sabatt, the Swedish tenor, used to
eat picked cucumber; Berk, the bar
itone, hardly ever spoke for fear of
spelling his voice; Kinderman was
in the habit of sucking prunes.-

him who with force Of character and
ability might make of himself what
soever he chooses. Never mind
what the calling may be, he has the
chance of reaching the topmost round
in the ladder of ascendancy.
Jay Gould was born on a farm
neal Roxbury, Conn.,, May ~ 1885.
At the age of IA he entered Hobart
academy, New York, and on leaving
school made an accurate survey OF
Ulster county. During the summer
of 1853 he completed the survey OF
Albany county and surveyed and
mapped other counties in New York
from which he accumulated $4,000.
That sum marked his rapid rise
toward fortune. Soon after this, he
engaged with a partner in the saw
mill business and after awhile was
able to buy his partners interest
He conducted the business until the
wear 1857 when he sold out and be-
came interested in the Stroudsbure
Pa, bank. From that he commenc'
ed operating in railroad bonds, grad
ually getting control of the different
great railroad systems of this coun.
try. When he died he was So years
old and was looked upon as being
the greatest f%nancier this land has
ever produced.

French Primary Schools.

The children pay for their midday
meal by means Of counters, which
are bought by their parents at so
much a dozen; but in cases OF pow
erty, either chronic or occasional,
these tickets can be obtained with
out payment, though when the chill
dren give them in they do so just as
the others do, and none of their COM
panions know whether it is by the
care Of the state or of their own par
ents that these little ones are fed.
Before we exclaim at the cost to the
taxpayer we must remember that
the French have no poor laws like
ours, and that this is simply one OF
their methods for distributing relief,
and probably less costly than our
own
It is something to be able to feel
that there hardly can be such a
thing as IN absolutely starving child
in Paris within the limits of school
age, and this not in winter only, but
all the year round. One meal a day,
at least, the state insists upon, and it
seemed to me that this vigilance
over the health of the young, this
determination to take off for them
the sharpest edge of extreme priva-
ton without marking them with the
brand of pauperism, must in time
have visible effects on the physical
well being Of the entire population.
What an untold relief to many
mothers it must be to know that, on
school days at any rate, their chill
dren are sure of at least one good
meal a day! It is eaten on tenn
porary tables formed with boards
and trestles. -Macmillan's Magazine.

The Tone of Machinery,

Engineers judge Of the condition
of their machinery by the tone it
gives out while running. Every en-.
CINE, whether stationary OF locomo-
tive, has a particular tone of its own.
The engineer becomes accustomed to
that, and any departure from it at
once excites a suspicion that all is
not right. The engineer may not
know what is the matter, he may
have no ear for music, but the
change in the tone Of his machine
will be instantly perceptible, will be
instantly recognized and will start
him on an immediate Investigation

Lightning's Magnetic Effects.

lightning WaSHetic LIecls'
The magnetic effects produced by
lightning are often very curious. A
chest containing a large assortment
of knives, forks and other cutlery
was, not many years ago. struck il.
the house Of a Wakefield tradesman,
and magnetism impaired to the
whole of the articles. Arago, in his
Meteorological Essays" speaks of a
shoemaker in Swabia whose tools
were thus treated, to his indescrib-
able annoyance. He had to be con
stantly freeing his hammer, pinchers
and knives from his nails, needles
and avis, which werec constantly get
ting caught by them as they lay to-
gether on the bench" The same
authority knew Of a Genoese ship
which was wrecked near Algiers in
consequence of some FRANKS played

that he was sailing toward the north

SHE PAID e e
A Sweet Michigan Singer Who
Backed Harrison Consoles Her
self in Song.

A well known Neihart banker recently
received the following poem written by
a young lady of Benton Harbor, Mich.
The history of its origin is that its COM
poser sent it to a friend along with 5000
she had wagered with him on the presi-
Dental election. The reader can readily
see which side she bet on:
Oh, tin tin, American tin!
This bet l surely expected to win,
But here is your five; ] give 1t up,
Tho to me it seems a bitter cup.
Not at all the value in money
This may seem to you quite funny.
But a greater amount l would Willingly lose;
If we could live under republican rules.
Cleveland's majority was good and strong.
Will his administration be right or wrong:
He may do honor to the chair,
But It's hard to think so l do declare.
Let him act according to his wishes.
But do you not pity the poor little fishes:
He is a great boy to fish the people say,
Especially on Decoration day.
Protection and high tariff will be no more.
In eighteen hundred and ninety-four.
But they dare not adopt free trade you know,
For that would be a disastrous blow.
Great would be the indignant on
| Among the people of this nation.
We are too intelligent a class
To allow our country to suffer this crash.
| Also the Mckinley bill,
Of course they will undertake to kill.
But they will only rule four years more,
Then / guess will give up the floor.
| We must suffer their conditions.
| Try and abide by their decisions.
But I'll stand by reciprocity
Until they MARBLE the old doXOlogy.
| | can't hurrah for Harrison and Reid
On account of Dutch, Irish and Swede.
But may God attend poor old Ben,
A happy four score years and ten.
| l guess l would better say no more
In political or p%oetical lore.
Each one has his own opinion
We are only two of ~sixty-five million.
In conclusion l will only say
Congratulations on winning the day.
Good health, good luck your efforts crown,
And success to you all in Washington town.
