yALISPELL.

Kalispell is q young and growing city
Of " 1000 inhabitants in which the
first building was erected in May, 1891.
- the geographical center of the Flat
Dad valley, and q divisional point on tho
main line of the Pacific extension Of the
Great Northern railroad. Several miles
of side track, a round hous Q, coal yards,
and a freight depot have already been
built, and a handsome two story brick
and stone passenger depot, which when
completed, will be the finest on the line
Of this road west Of st. Paul, is now
under construction. Steamers plying
on the waters of Flathead lake and river
reach the head Of navigation at Kalis-
pell, thus affording transportation facil-
tiles TO the Northern Pacific railroad.
The construction Of a new railroad has
been commenced from the mining CEN
ters OF the state to the immense coal
fields in the northern part OF the Flat
head valley, which pa ssing through Kali
ispsll, will give her che ap and direct
Communication with Butte, Helena and
all points south, and open a ready mar
ket for products of the valley, all of
which, from her geographical location,
will necessarily center at Kalispell;
while the natural grades from the mines
and coal fields of the surrounding coun-
try, the cheap and unlimited supply OF
fuel, together with the great water
power at her very doors, will make Kal,
ispell the smelling center Of this portion
Of the state. 1t is already the supply
point for tho army Of miners and pros.
pectors operating in the North and
South forks and the kootenai min.
ing regions, and with her three
strong national banks. she can have nc
rival as the financial center of the whole
Flathead region.
According to published statistics, nc
city Of her size in the United States can
boast OF SO fine a system of water works
and electric light. The system com.
prisss seven miles OF pipe, hydrants al
every street intersection, and pumps
with a capacity equal to those of the
Butte system The total cost of the
plant is upwards of sl25,00O.
A brick brewery has just been com
pleted with a capacity OF 200 barrels
per month, having the latest improved
machinery. and operated by men of Ions
standing and successful experience i,
Their line. Numerous substantial bricl
business blocks have been constructed
within the last season, and many fine
residences are o going up through
out the town.

Unmatched Marri ges.

Race and color prejudices. always
stronger in this country than in Eu-
! rope, have prevented many such mar
riages between American girls and
| Asiatics as are described in an article
on the subject on the twenty-third
page OF tO-day's Press. OF those
which have taken place, some have
been happy; but it Is true of most of
them. as our contributor says that
their story has been one long life
tragedy.
Even an Englishman is less con-
siderate OF his wife than an American,
expects more from her and comedies
her less in return; European gives
his wife less than an Eng ishman in
respect, in reverence and in daily
care and consideration, and an Ash
attic simply carries the parallel still
farther. The practical lesson is that
an American girl is wise if she seeks
wedock at home. 1t may not bring
, happiness; but it is more likely to
than anywhere else
Rank cOnferS certain definite adj
yantages, particularly for woman
wrapped in social interest; but where
foreign marriage does not bring
that, an American girl who marries
a man of middle position abroad, and
particularly oil the Continent. is ex-
tremely apt to find herself hampered
: by a thousand conventions, bound
down to trying economies, and of
much less personal weight and i'm
portancc in her husbands eyes and
his family's than the wife Of an
American husband.
This is -thouSand-fo more true
of an Asialic marriage, fortunately
so rare as scarcely to need considera-
ton. But in all marriages the enc
glaring mistake of our American so.
ciety is to forget that the surest and
only safe foundation of happiness in
married life is n common training,
common friends, common social habits

No More Free Farms.

The New York Sun notes the open.
ing or the Cherokee strip as the final
distribution OF the nations domain.
1t presents tables from census reports
showing that the acres of cultivated
land increased from 81, 900. 900 in SOS
to 1875, 200, 900 in 1884, and that in
the succeeding nine years the addi-
lions have only been AT about the
rate OF million a year, and during
the last four years they have aver
aged less than 100000 acres year.
The proportion OF those who seek
farms Is as great now as it ever was.
and there being no more free farms
to be had, the tide OF emigration
must be turned backward to older
sections OF the country, and to divid-
ing the large, unwieldly farms into
smaller holdings This has already
been done to a considerable extent,
The whole effect of this condemnation
must be to lessen the proportion OF
land employed for growing staple
crops OF grain and cotton by with
drawing it for the better culture ano

within a few years the home demand

Rapid BraaGhing as a. Remedy

Rapid braatl1ing as IL Kennedy.
About fifteen years ago Mai. Gen.
Drayson of the British Army often
suffered, especially at night, from Il
severe pain in the region Of the heart.
He believed he was doomed to die
soon of heart disease. About that
time certain Of his experiences in tho
mountains OF India led him to think
that his heart pain might be due to
insufficient Oxygenation OF the blood.
lie therefore tried to relieve it by
breathing rapidly-at the rate OF
about forty breaths a minute. In u
few seconds the pain ceased, and did
not return that n ght.
After that he says he always re-
sorted to the same expedient, and in
variab]y with success As time went
on the pain became not only less
frequent but less severe, and now il
there Is the slightest indication of it
rapid breathing prevents it's arrival

Some Bottled Up Thunder In Our Little
Torpedo Boats.
Considerable interest attaches to
the miniature torpedo boats which
will be carried on the decks OF the
battleships Texas and Maine. now
under construction by the Govern.
ment They are excellent specimens
OF modern engineering skill. The
boat for the Texas will be Of twelve
toes displacement and the one for
the Maine will be i4.s tons. They
will be swung into water from the
top of the superstructure by great
cranes, and will be used in midnight
attacks. The little boats will be
fitted each with ore propclling en-
CINE Of the Quadruple expansion
type, working single screw. 1t is
estimated that the indicated horse
power OF the Texas boats engine will
be 49,. and that Of the Maine boats
engine 200, when the screw is making
675 revolutions The engine will be
vertical inverted, with the cylinders
placed in order of size over the shaft.
the high pressure cylinder being for
ward.
There will be one water tube
boiler on each boat, placed in a sep
arate compartment forward of the
engine. 1t will be constructed for a
working pressure of $50 pounds per
square inch and have about twelve
feet Of grade surface, with $50 feet of
heating surface. Bulkheads and
doors will be fitted where necessary
to make the fire-room alright, In
the Texas boat there will be one
smokepipe and in the Maine boat
there will be two stacks, situated for
ward and placed far enough apart on
opposite sides OF the ship to allow the
torpedo boom to rig between rhem.
Two feet tanks will be provided in
each boat, that in the Texas having
a combined capacity Of seventy gal
Ions, and that Of the Names boat of
ninety gallons. The weight of all
machinery and boilers. including aux
iliarieS and water in the DO lers, con-
denses and pipes, as we'll as the spare
parts and tools, must not exceed
$500 pounds on the Texas boat and
II, 900 pounds on the Names boat.
Marine engineers take good deal
of interest in these little boats, for
they contain as much bottled up
energy as anything atloat. The tor
pedo boat at its best appears to be
nothing more than combined vitality
and destruction. Within a thin and
narrow shell there is an engine of re-
markable force and a proiectilc OF
unusual deadliGess. The little tor
pedo boats OF the big battleships are
the best Of their type. Tor they are
the latest and concentrate what was
before condensed. Washington Star
