A learned German scientist makes
the astonishing announcement that
among women mustaches nre com
moner I'm the present day than they
used TO be in the past. In CONSTANT
nople one out of every ten women have
untnistahable evidences Of down on
their upper lips. A similar proportion
Of mustaohcd women Is to be noticed
among ladies in Madrid. And IA nil
adelphia physician in cold blood has
observed that fully three per cent. of
the women are mustached. What do
these facts indicate? a cc-tain Mr..

as showing how well trained the shep-
herd dog becomes. lie and friend
were riding in the Salinas valley when
they came to a band OF one thousand or
more shcop guarded by ten or twelve
shepherd dogs. There were from
twenty-five 70 thirty coyotes along the
edge OF the hills and within short
distance OF the sheep, but between the
two were the well trained and vigilant
dogs. "Two or three times while we
were IN sight one or more of the coy
otes made dash for the sheep, but
each time they were driven back by
the guardians OF the lock. We rode
on and put up at the Gomez ranch,
which was owned by wealthy native
Californian. About shutdown the
sheep, driven by the dogs, came up TO
the house and the flock entered cor

entrance and waited there until the
owner came out and put up the bars.
Then the master patted his different
dogs and fed them well He told us
that the dogs drove these sheep out on

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors. but almost everybody
has been struck, ut one time a another,
with ideas that seemed calculated 10 re-
duce some Of the little irictions OF life.
Usually such ideas are dismissed with
out further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company
make its car windows 90 that they can
be slid up and down without breaking
the passangers' back ?" exclaims the
traveller. "If | were running the road ]
would make them in such way"
what was the man that made this
saucepan thinking off" grumbles the
cook. "He never had to work over q
stove, or he would have known how IL
ought to have leen fixed"
Hang such collar buttonl" growls
the man who il late for breakfast. "If
we're in the business I'd make buttons
that wouldn't slip out, or break off, or
gouge out the back of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forget
about their grievances and begin to
think Of something else. II they would
sit down at the next convenient oppor-
tunity, put their ideas about car windows
saucepans, and collar buttons into prsc-
teal shape, and then apply for patents,
they might find themselves as indepen-
IDENTIFY wealthy as the man who invented
the iron umbrella ring, or the ono who
patented the fifteen puzzle.

AGAINST AMERICAN ROADS.

Looking for Way to Retaliate on the
Canadian Pacific.
New YORK. Jan. 4.-Railroad men and
shippers are eagerly watching for the out
| como of President Harrison's recent de-
mand upon the departments Of state and
the treasury for information relative TO
frsights coming into the United States by
way of the Canadian Pacific railroad. So
| irritating and damaging has Canadian dis
elimination against American railroads be-
| come that there is steadily increasing
| pressure upon the authorities at Washing
ton to find some relief. Abuse of the con-
sular seal system by the Canadian Pacific
| causes the chief annoyance and loss to the
passed by congress in 1864. merchandise of
all kinds shipped from Canada direct to
interior points in this country are
protected in the Canadian Pacific's
cars by the consular seal. The United
States consul at the place Of shipment
merely has to certify that the manifest is
correct. and that he has sealed and closed
| the car. Such certi6cation carries the
| merchandise to consignee without inspec-
ton or delay at the border.
| This arrangement was entered into when
| railway traffic with Canada was small and
the intention of the law, II is asserted. was
to limit freights entitled to the privileges
Of consular seal to the products Of Canada.
From 1865 to 1870 that view OF the law was
taken bys Canadian shippers. BY degrees
the scope of the law has been enlarged BY
| the Canadian Pacific, SO that now it is suf.
fficiently comprehensive TO bring into this
country over the Canadian border goods
from China and Japan. Large car
goes of raw silks and other Chinese
and Japanese goods are brought across the
Pacific ocean to Vancouver, b. G.. loaded
into Canadian Pacific cars and brought
into this country under the consular seal
system. Frpm one to two days time is
saved, as we'll as the cost of rehandling the
freight. In that way imports from China
and Japan can be brought through in bulk
quicker and in better condition than over
American routes for the reason that the
law does not extend the privileges of the
consular seal system to American roads.
Even while enjoying this great advantage
extended by United States law the Canadian
people calmly devised Il law of their own
still further to injure American railroads.
discriminating duty on all coffee and tea
imported into Canada from the United
States has been put into the Canadian tariff.
These necessary commodities are admitted
fl ee into Canada from all countries except
the United United States. The natural
effect of the discrimination ia to divert the
tea and coffee traffic from United States
ports and have it come into the country
from Vancouver over the Canadian Pacific.

The Montana House Of Representa-
tives Has Completed Its
Organization.
The Principal Offices Divided Be-
tween the Democrats and
the Populists.
Nothing Done in tho Hamilton Lscch
Cnse-.The Contsst for United states
Senator Waxing Warm.

The organization Of the house OF repre-
sentatiyes was completed yesterday and to-
day both branches Of the legislature will be
ready for business. Democrats, populists
ana resublicsns are represented among the
officers chosen. The democrats have the
chief clerk. his assistant, the assistant ser
geant-at-arlns. the engrossing and enrolling
clerks. the day watohman and one page.
The populists have tho speaker, the speaker
pro TEN, sergeant-at-arms. doorkoeper,
night watchman and one page. Tho repub-
lioars have the chaplain. janitor and two
pages. There was little or no friction at
yesterday's session. The successful candi-
dates were nearly all elected by twenty eight
votes, the unsuccessful ones getting twenty
four. This 10 especially true of all the
higher Offices There was much speculation
as to what republican it was who voted
with the democrats and populists, and it
was generally conceded that II was some re-
publican -populist whom his party associ-
ates had not discovered. After electinR all
Of its officers the house adjourned until to-
day, when it is expected the speaker will
announce his committees. The Hamilton
Leech question did not como up. and
just when it will no one processes to know.
1t was thought that Leech's certificate
would arrive Tuesday evening. but If it did
that gentleman did not present it. Mr..
Hamilton was present at both sessions oc-
cupying seat within the rail, but simply
as an interested onlooker. just what shape
the Choteau case will take next 10 not
known, or whether Hamilton or Leech will
h ho A>o , =. A
know will tell. As it is now Choteau county
ia one short in her representation. and the
house ia short one member, and that 10 all
any one appears to know.
Now that a threatened deadlock has been
avoided. the senatorial canvass has COM
menced again ia dead earnest. The Law
United States senator shall take place ON
the second Tuesday in January after the
organization of both houses. As the lower
house was not organized until to-day, the
second Tuesday thereafter will be Jan. II.
Tho friends OF all the prominent senatorial
all were making claims of from fifteen to
twenty votes on the first ballot in the
caucus. The three leaders in tho race re-
main as they have been, Ex-Gov. s. 7.

ton and j. II. Durston came over from
Anaconda yesterday and opened Dixon
headquarters at the Merchants. A lot of
workers were thrown out and as q result
Dixon was more talked about than ho has
been previously. There are no republican
senatorial aspirants. at least none on the
surface. The War Horse retired on Tues
day evening and is now Watching the con-
test from distance. It 10 reported that
he holds the same opinion as does his close
friend, I. H., Carter-Montana will elect
