Short hose are a cruel feature of
fashionable dress for children. The
barefoot baby is not as apt to take
cold as the little two-y year old accus-
toned to shoes and stockings, who is
''dressed up'' in thin cotton hose
reaching but two or three inches above
the ankle. The day may be raw and
chill enough for jacket but the FISH
ionable mother allows her child's
knees and legs to get chilled and this
becomes the cause Of bowel troubles
and colds On warm days barefoot
children may be comfortable but in
the evening or on cold days keep the
little ones feet as warm and dry as in
cold winter as the condition of the ex-
tremities greatly affects the health.
Careful mothers keep the teething
babies in light wooden stockings all
summer and also have them wear all
wool next to the body.

A PALATABLE LAXATIVE Make a
strong, concentrated infusion of SEN
ma leaves; strain this through mus
lin cloth, and boil in the strained Ii
quid as many prunes of good quality
as can be well boiled in the quantity Of
infusion.
Stew the prunes in the liquor thor
oughly, in the same manner as If for
the table, properly seasoning.
When well cooked, put in glass
jar, screw the top down tightly and
set in cool place. Two or three or
four of these prunes eaten during the
day will overcome some OF the sever
est cases of constipation.
There is no suggestion whatever of
the SIENNA in the taste Of the prunes,
and the effect is most desirable. II
taken at bedtime, when laxative is
desired, the bowels will move nicely
in the morning. They can be taken
on the most sensitive stomach and
when other 1axatives would produce
undesirable results.

Few housekeepers know what a
valuable and useful article salt is, not
only in the culinary department, but
it can be utilized in the household in
various ways for removing stains, etc.
To prevent a wooden churn from
leaking, during the summer months,
rub the inside with little salt, after
washing and scalding, before putting
away.
A little salt rubbed through the
strainer of the milk-pail cleanses it
effectually.

LADIES' COLUMN.
TIE SECRET OF A LONG LIFE.

You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth. She seems
condensed sweetness and grace. You
wonder how this has come about; you
wonder how it is her life has been a
long and happy one. Here are some
of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreed
BILE things.
She understood the art of enjoy
ment.
She kept her nerves we'll in hand,
and inflicted them on no one.
She believed in the goodnes of her
own daughters and in that Of her
neighbors.
She cultivated good digestion.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant words.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work come to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe that all the world was
wicked and unkind.
She relieved the miserable, and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful.
She retained an even disposition,
and made the best of everything.
She did whatever came to her cheer
fully and we'll.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is halo of
white hair about her head, she is
loved and considered.
This is the secret Of a long life and
a happy one.

HANDSOME MATs.-Open sheet OF
fine imported tissue paper, fold in the
center, lengthwise, once, then fold
the other way twice, and cut. There
will be six squares. Fold across, cor
nerwise, three times, cut deep round
scallop and unfold. You have six
rounds of eight scallops each.
Use four sheets, of any shade desir-
ed. Fold and cut each sheet the same
as the first. Take one round of the
paper, fold one scallop lengthwise in
the center ON one wire of a common
hairpin, holding the head Of pin in the
right hand.
Press the paper into gathers with
the left hand, pressing towards the
right, without breaking the paper.
Shirr each scallop in this way, then
take one round of each shade, from
dark to light, and tack together in
the center, and you will have six
handsome mats.
Fold and cut in the same way three
rounds of each color, size three inches
each; shirr in the same way. Take
piece of yellow paper on wire for
the center, put them on the wire and
you will have handsome rose.
Place equal distances apart, one of
each shade around the mat,and fasten
in place.

THE feeling in the commercial and
financial circles of Miles City exhibited
a marked improvement to-day over the
depression of Saturday. caused by the
closing of the Stockgrowers National
Bank. The action taken by the citizens
at the meeting Saturday seems to have
had a very quieting effect. and there
was no semblance of a run on
the First National to-day. Bust
ness progressed in the ordinary
way and deposits were received and
checks paid as if there was no panic
existing. This is as it should be. Sit
uated as we are. remote from other To-
c~alities and living Al il were among our
selves. there is no cause for any excite
ment. The men who have always been
solvent with us. are solvent to-day. and
the inability to realize on assets
is the only clog in the way of easy
transaction of business. We believe it
would be shown when the affairs of the
Stock Grow ers National bank are made
public. that it is ~abundantly able to pay
dollar for dollar to every creditor and
have money left. and the directors of the
First National have proclaimed publicly
that every depositor can have abundant
security for his claim. if he feels in the
least concerned abont its safety. Some
little concern has been expressed in re-
gard t. what action will be taken tomor-
NOR by the county commissioners in re-
gard TO the county funds that are in the
Stockgrowers Bank. but after diligent
enquiry we feel authorized to state that
~ action will be taken by the Commits,
sioners until the condition of the bank
is made public. and not then will any
steps be taken that will in any degree
embarass the Treasurer or his bonds
men. The Commissioners fully realize
that this is no time to press settlements
where it is evident that the county is
ahundantly protected, and they will not
do il.

One kick was registered from Ramsey

that the question was quickly decided

He answering said: "Strlve to enter
by the narrow gate, for many, say to
you, shall seek to enter and shall not be
able" Let us. instead of making idle
inquiries as TO Gods secrets, work out
each one his own salvation.
Who shall be saved? Who lost? No
judgm ent of ours may be passed on IN
dividual souls, whatever the exterior
circumstances of life or death. Who
but God can read consciences, ana
say who is guilty or innocent? Who
but God knows the final grace poured
by mercy upon the soul fiutterlng upon
the very threshold of DEATHS doorway
Who but God knows the last vibration
OF the heart, whether 1t was or no one
of sorrow and love; the last gaze or the
soul, whether or no it was upward raised
in repentance to the face of its Saviour?
Sin brings TO Hell.
Certain it is that conscious violation
of Gods laws, in grave matter, brings
damnatlon. 1t is OF no use for men to
protest or wriggle, the law remains, and
Judgment shall be accordingly. there
are those who persist i'll forming for
themselves. their moral code, accord
ing to their own likes and dislikes, in,
dependently of Gods code. In vain
they strive; Gods code alone holds for
time and eternity. There are those who
insist on being saved without Christ's
graces and truth; in vain they labor,
for ChrisJiS~law remains, and by 1t
shall they be Judged. There are
those who calm their souls by
the easy salve that all religions, all
churches are equally good; this is not
Gods ruling, aud His ruling alone en-
dures. There are those who cry out
they will have no heaven, no hell-es-
pecially no hell. Their clamorlngs
serve no purpose. For heaven is, and
hell is, and if they gain not heaven by
good works and obedience to COD, they
shall be thrust into hell in punishment
of their sins. When will all men know
that they are creatures and servants,
they have not formed the w0rld of time,
neither shall they form that of eternity;
that they did not make proclama-
ton of the laws of the physi-
cal universe. neither shall they
make proclamation of the laws OF the
moral creation. Gods law is above us,
and necessarily demands our submits
sion. A morning paper hints that act
ing under the belief of bell and heaven
is colossal selfishness," and that men
should be good for virtues own sake,
for Gods own pure love; but heaven
! still is, and hell still is, and to take the
pathway of nell is colossal" folly. as
10 set aside the belief in hell is
colossal ignorance. Man Is not made
of that ethereal stuff that lifts HIM above
ali seltshnesS. Whatever the motive OF
conduct, ''let us in fear and trembling
work out our salvation" by righteous
conduct and fullest obedience to Gods
laws. avoiding thereby hell and gaining
heaven.

One of the happiest farce-comedies

hall last evening, and it is strange, still
a pity, that it has not been produced at
the Metropolitan ere this as one OF the
regular subscription performances. the
audience was of fair size, though not
what it should have been nor what the.
company is entitled to for its efforts,
and endeavOr to please the German pub
tic of st. Paul. Still, it can be said that
many rallied to attend last evening
knowing that the hall was hardly suit
able for production of that character,
and they preferred to await the re-
turn of the company III the early
part of April, when they Will again De
seen at the Metropolitan. But the au-
dience thoroughly enjoyed the play, and
it is doubtful if more pleased one ever
sat before the footlights. The scenes
are the richest that can be
produced in farce comedy, and
the numerous cases of mis-
taken identity and misplaced confidence
are Iudicrous III the extreme, and every
comedian in the company was throughly
appreciated. The play is splendidly
written, it was we'll cast, and the dla-
logue is of most CHI lrming nature, and
the least shade of suggeStlyeneSS
that sometimes crops out gives 1t a
coloring that is highly interesting and
very amusing.
Krischan Schober as the stonebreaker
Oh the highway was at his FUNNIEST, ana
the part its him like paper OH the wall !;
and it did seem as though he felt more
at home in il than in any III which ne

cellent, though somewhat married by the
Door acoustic properties or the nail, ana
when he sang the medley of titles and
first lines 10 popular German songs ne
was eicored till he refused to appear.
Martha Neuman had minor part, but
in it took the opportunity as the servant
maid 70 sing one of her characteristic
songs. and that of Husbands Can Be
Charming If They Only WHIP took the
audience by storm.
Theodore Bollman made an excellent
factory merchant, and Elsa ROemer
gave good representation or the rae
tory girl. A really charming character
was that OF Gertrude Berry. as the
daughter or the rich Amsterdam mer-
chant. and her exhibition of the stub
burn, wiIlful girl was so true to Dature
that it seemed perfectly real. ana can
be credited as fine piece of acting.
Herman SCHNEIDER ably took the part
of the son, and Richard Wagner was a
good prying servant.
The Bolman company will begin Its
regular subscription performances at the
Metropolitan again on April 9, aud the
German population of st. Paul should
certainly patronize SO excellent com
pany better than they do. Slim attend
ance at these performances is not TO the
credit of Germans OF st. Paul, and al
should aid in sustaining such laudaDle

1t Will Occur at 8 O'Clock This
Evening. Fe

Evening. -
The Olmypic theater will be opened
this evening, after having been closed
for the past seven weeks. The new
management have thoroughly renovated
the theater, and have made some.
needed alterations, which will be p
preelated.
Mr.. Robinson opens the theater at the
request of some OF the most prominent
business men in the city, men who have
seen some of the first-class variety
houses of the East. 1t is the Intention
of the management to present to tile
public a high class of variety entertaiil-
ment, bringing here not only the best
of American talent, but the latest arr
rivals of European celebrities. The pro-
gramme will be changed every week,
and will always afford some novelty
that the public will both appreciate. and
admire.
The bill presented this week is head
ed by the world-renowned Sandowe,
whose feats of strength are simply mar
velous. There are ten other first-elasS
specialties, the names of whom are so
we'll know to the lovers of this kind of
entertainment that they will be only
too glad to have the opportunity of see
ing them.
