All Montanians should stand to-
gether for the protection of every in
dustry in the state, whether mining.
woolgrowing, cattle-growing, horse
growing or agriculture. Because, in
the nature of things, one or W indus
tries require protection by the general
government a spirit of envy may be
aroused. But this is unworthy q gen
erous and public spirited people. Any
industry that puts money into circula-
ton and gives steady employment to
labor is a benefit to all. When one in
dustry is crippled the influence often
extends to others entirely dissimilar.
As an example a well known wool
grower sold nearly $500 worth of gar
den truck in Lewistown during the
past summer, thus receiving so much
cash that would have been realized by
the agriculturist, but which he felt
forced to do, owing to the depression
in the wool market and the scarcity of
money. The question is often asked,

believe that time can be FASTENED if
our people will stand together in de-
Tense of those industries that are now
jeopardized. We would be glad to see
wool selling again at Is cents, beef at
$3.50 per hundred, horses in good de-
mand, our mines booming, larger de-
mand for agricultural products and
labor steadily employed. What isgov-
eminent for if not to promote the pros.
perity and happiness of the people!
Men can be consistent Democrats and
yet oppose the policy of southern free
traders, which means the wreck and
ruin of northern industries that some
other country may reap the benefit

The Thrift of Good Snendinr.

If you would live long and prosper,
cultivate a liberal mind-that is to
say, let not the little foxes of daily
expense gnaw unp~leasantly at your
financial consciousness. Part as
cheerfully with your dollars as you
greet them, and never by any means
be of those mistaken souls who
grudge the most necessary spending.
Otherwise they would feel reprehen-
sibly prodigal. The thrift of good
spending is utterly beyond them.
Good spending does not imply Law
ishness. Indeed it is straitly opposed
to the useless ~frittering away of hard
cash. Neither does it mea the keen
bargaining, the rasping calculation,
that in many minds stand for econo-
my. Always that money is best spent
which brings the largest returns,
whether of comfort, luxury, the de-
sire of the eye or the pride of life

THE CAUSE OF sEAsIckNEss.
Beginning In Three AuraI Tubes. 1t Ever
tually Reaches the Stomach.

Beginning In Three Aural Tubes, 1t Even
tually Reaches the Stomach.
Seasickness starts in the ear. In
its cavity are three small tubes, each
bent in q circle and filed with fluid.
The three sit at right angles to each
other, like the three sides at the cor
ner of a room or a box. Consequent
ly in whatever direction the head is
moved the fluid in some one of the
tubes is given a circular motion.
Hanging out into the tubes, from
their sides, are hairs. or ella, which
connect with nerve cells and fibers
that branch off from the auditory
nerve.
When the head moves, the fluid
moves, the hairs move, the cells are
''fired off" a nervous current is sent
up to the brain and a feeling of the
heads peculiar motion is consequent.
As for seasickness, this nerve cur-
rent on its way to the brain at one
point runs beside the spot or cen
ter" where the nerve governing the
stomach has its origin. When the
rocking of the head is abnormally
violent and prolonged, the stimulus
is so great that the current leaks
over into this adjoining center" and
80 excites the nerve running to the
stomach as to cause wretcledness
and retching.
Deaf mutes, whose ear canals"
are affected, are never seasick. But
normally the amount of ear feeling
which we get by reason of moving
our head in a particular direction
comes in a curious way to be a meas
ure of the direction of sound. The
feelings we get from III skin and
muscles in turning the head play a
similar role. We turn our ear to
catch a sound. We do this so fire.
quently for every point that in time
we learn to judge the direction of
the sound by the way we would
have to turn the head in order to
hear the sound best.
Thereafter we do not have to turn
the head to get the direction, for we
now remember the proper feeling
and know it. This memory of the
old feeling is our idea of the present
direction. If we moved our
heads, we never could have any such
notion of the location of sounds as al
present-perhaps none whatever

Day L.boring Man Milliner..

1t is not generally known perhaps
that there are man mllliners who
hire out by the day or week as trim
mers to New York modistes. 1t goes
without saying that these trimmers
are artists. Their greatest value lies
in what they call original designing.
The frames or shapes in stock are
taken with whatever decorative ma
terial may be available, and unique
bonnets and hats are evolved, which
may serve as models OF used for spe-
cial orders.
The man trimmers command a sal
airy of $50 a week or $40 a day of six
hours. They + regularly employed
by modistes, who, in connection with
dress and cloakmaking, do some mil
linery work, but the largest class of
patronage comes from millinery
shops. The intruder is scorned by
the women in the workroom, who
not only make personal remarks but
depreciate everything he turns out.
One milliner on Fifth avenue near
the Union League club hires a man
trimmer every season to go over her
trimmed goods and put on finishing
touches, which he does to her entire
