MONTANA SILVER MEDALS.
James A. Carrier Has u Scheme to Pu

James A. Carrier Has u Scheme Ia Pur
More Coin.in Circulation.
Ex-Ald. j. A. Carrier is advocating 9
solution Of the financial stringency ir
the mining states which possibly pos
sesses some merits just ut this particu.
lar time when a circulating medium is
pretty scarce in Montana. His idea is
to have a state refinery or mint and coin
medals to be used as a circulating mo.
dunn. Each medal is to contain one
ounce OF pure silver and is expected to
circulate for one dollar among the min
ing states, and would in many instances
be bought by eastern people and coin
collectors to be kept as souvenirs. These
medals are to circulate as dollars, as they
would really contain more silver than
the present dollar, and il free coinage
becomes a fact the medals would pos
SEES more intrinsic value than tho regu-
lation cart wheel. Ard Mr.. Carrier
thinks that these medals would eventu-
ally circulate in all the states west of
the Mississippi, and it would require the
annual American product OF silver to
furnish them, which of course would
force England to pay 81 an ounce for the
silver she needed. Wheat corn and
every other American product would de-
mand better prices if silver went to 81
an ounce. The medals are to be stamped
with the seal of Montana. Mr.. Carrier
thinks his scheme feasible and believes
t would be adopted by Colorado, Idaho,
and Utah,

osition that the ice system, as appiica-
BILE to the compensation OF United

federal courts and United States com-
missioners, should be abolished with as
little delay as possible. 1t is clearly in

The system is therefore thoroughly
vicious which makes the compensation
OF court officials depend upon the vol
ume oil such business, and thus creates
conflict between proper execution OF
the law and private gam, which cannot
fail to be dangerous to the rights aud
freedom OF the citizen and an irresist-
able temptation to the unjustiiable ex-
penditure OF public funds. Ii in adj

A Life For a Billiard Bal1.

The globe of ivory which is knocked
about table in game of billiards costs,
il of good quality, at least e2. This repre-
sents its cost in money. There is, how
ever, far more important and formidable
element in the price which has been paid
for it. The billiard ball of pure ivory rep
resents, as it lies white and glistening upon
the cloth, an expenditure of human life
blood as well as of money. Elephants
tusks are brought down to the African
coast by caravans, generally in charge of
Arabs, which have been trading in the in
terror. Very often they have picked up
slaves as well as ivory. But this phase Of
the matter may be left out of the account.
1t is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely to have sue
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and the
fatigues of the march
The hunting of the elephants and the
capture of the ivory are very likely to have
caused the death of 10 men altogether.
Such casualties are the rule in elephant
hunting rather than the exception An
average tusk does not furnish more than
enough material for two good billiard balls.
OF course, the remainder of the ivory in
each tusk is made use of in other ways. A
perfectly cut billiard ball requires special
quality, or so called NERVE which is found
only in one part of the tusk. The chances
are that billiard ball of the first quality
has cost at least one human life.-Million.

Marked by the Devips Hoof.

Henry Rice, an aged negro who resides,
or did not more than year ago at Rolla,
this state. makes what is probably the
most remarkable claim that ever came
from the mouth of human being-viz,
that he has sold his soul to the devil and
that his satanic majesty sealed the bargain
by putting his trademark on the negro's
breast. t8
In support of thispreposterous statement
Rice exhibits deep scar situated directly
over the heart, which appears to have been
burned deep into the flesh with branding
iron about the shape and size of the hoof of
q 2-year-old heifer. This scar, the old ne
gro declares. is the print or mark of the
DEVILS hoof, and that it is memorial of a
compact which he made with the king of
the sulphurous regions away back in slav-
cry days.
According to the terms of the contract,
the negro is to have supernatural powers
over his race during the few feeting days
that he remains a tenant on earth. and that
when all is over his soul is to 60, not to
God who gave it, but to the devil, who has
marked it as his OWL When Rice and the
devil had settled on the conditions outlined
above, the lessee of the negroes soul placed
his cloven hoof over the heart of the wicked
old African and left it's indelible impress as
evidence of his future proprietary right to
burn the old man to his hearts content

ADVENTURE WITH A BOA.
An Extremely Unpleasant Encounter In
CoylONese Garden.

An extremely Unpleasant Encounter I" -
Ceylonese Garden.
One incident that occurs to me Is g ilbtle
adventure l have had with pyenon, a
snake OF the molurus tribe, in my own gar
den in Colombo. One evening was smok-
ing on the yeranda after dinner. It was a
cloudy night, but the air was perfectly still.
What seemed to be the branch OF tree was
lying across the carriage drive, and as no.
ticed it wondered how it could have fallen
when not a breath of wind was stirring. 1t
was perfectly motionless and after awhile
went down to throw it aside out OF the
path. But the moment stopped over it
the object seemed to melt away.
Amazed and half doubling the evidence
of my own eyes, I took step in pursuit,
but the instantaneous contraction OF the
whole body, ready for a spring, and the
long, deep hiss that followed told me of
the danger was in.6 Each staid without
the movement of muscle for about
20 seconds, and then the snake imper-
ceptibly disappeared. One long sigh of re-
lief and dart into the house that beat
the record for 20 yard sprint closed the
proceedings for me that night. Had by
mistake laid the slightest touch upon the
creatures body the probability Is that with
m less than half minute / should have
been reduced to shapeless lump of pulp
and broken bones. Rescue would have
been i'm sassible Providence was merciful
to me that night.
Soon after we found that the python
had taken up its abode in the garden, but
it had chosen its hiding place SO cunningly
that there was no getting at it. One night
lady who was i'll was lying awake in her
room, and the room next to hers was occu-
pied by my sister. The door between the
two rooms was open, and suddenly the lady
saw large snake come in at the window,
waving its head about in search of place
where it might alight. A moment later it
fell with loud flop to the floor. OF course
1t had disappeared by the time they had re.
covered from the shock and called for as.

This result achieved as it was in spite
of the heavy blow dealt the Company on
