THIS is Arbor day. Every person who
plants a tree is a human benefactor. 1t
is not unlikely that there was a time in
the remote past when all this region was
covered with heavy timber, but the de-
~struction of the forests of the table lands
has left them almost t~reeless and a new
growth can be produced only at consid-
cradle cost Of labor. and patience. In
the few years since the city Of Great
Falls was founded the success that has
attended tree-growing within the city
limits is conclusive proof that the beau
ties of varied vegetation will soon be as
common here as in Iowa or Missouri, al
though the more wholesome dryness of
the climate here will never permit of the
ank growth which exists lower down
the Missouri. The trees that are planted
by the boys. todayswill give them shade
when they are men.

MODERN research is always at it. A
learned lady has been dIslodging some Of
the secrets of old Mount Sinai, and a
London dispatch says of her achieve
ments: "Details Of the discovery at
Mount Sinai convent indicate that the
rescued copy Of the Syriac version Of the
gospels is practically complete, and prob
ably dates from the earlier half of the
Second century. Mrs. Lewis, the &C.
complished woman who made the lind,
separated the torn and compacted leaves
of dirty manuscript with tea kettle steam
photographed them one by one, and thus
deciphered the venerable text under the
later palimpsest writing, and is keeping
the principal features of Importance for
authoritative presentation in a book.
She makes known, however, that the
final II verses of Mark, which modern
criticism impugns as an Interpolation,
are lacking in this version" Biblical
students will be interested in making
references to the twelve verses Of Mark
here mentioned.

the dressing of the hair. or course, the
hair itself must be kept exquisitely
clean, and softly glossy from constant
brushing. Then let it be drawn softly
back from the face, as indicated in my
sketch, and at the line of the forehead
permit a few short hairs to escape, not a
bang not a fringe of curls, but a few ir-
regular locks that hang softly and care
lessly whether they curl or not. If the
hair is kept in the best condition it will
hang soft, fluffy and pretty, il it does
not curl.
AT the nape of the neck, to avoid tight
pulling of the hair into the coil, let some
short locks escape. AS for the coil let it
be just a knot of the hair as big or small
as the amount of hair makes it. Wind

not vary with thegowning. The evening

H WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
FRIDAY. Il q. 1893.

WrrH Mr.. Gibson's return to Great
Falls we find the following in a Wash
ington letter to tho Anaconda Standards:
Paris Gibson has been here for a few
days and he has made IA good impression
upon the men to whom he has been in
troduced as a sample Montana pioneer.
He has talked about Great Falls in a
way to make j. j. Hills heart jump, and
most of the persons with whom he has
talked have secured the impression that
Great Falls is to be the great town of
Montana in a few years. This idea has
been implanted without any reference to
other towns in which Mr.. Gibson has less
interest, but he has not lost any opportu-
nifty to excite interest in the immense
water power awaiting use at Great Falls
and the fertile bench soil that only needs
to be tried to assure its owners of the
immense possibilities stored away in it
for the agriculturist. Mr.. Cleveland had
a very agreeable chat Of half an hour
with Mr.. Gibson. The two we're not
long IN reaching a good understanding
about the course to be pursued in Mon
tana to keep the party in shape" MIR.
Gibson is always the "gulde, philosopher,
ana friend" in all that concerns this city,
and it surprises nobody to learn that he
spread the fame of Great Falls even to
the inner recesses of the white house.

A MONTANA SCIENTIST.

The following from the National
Journal of Education will be read with
interest by all Montanians:
Prof. i. ID. Kelsey, SGD, the newly
elected professor of botany of Oberlin
college, is one of the men whose exper.
fence should be an Inspiration to others.
Graduating from Marietta college in
1870, and Andover in 1884, he entered
the ministry, and a few years later went
at once identified himself with the de-
velopment of the educational system of
that new country. He soon cav that the
flora of that region contained many
characteristic features, and though he
had never made a specially of botana,
had never handled a microscope, and
was a thousand miles from any instruct
or, he ordered an outfit and procured
all the book assistance he needed and
began a thorough study of the
vegetable life of the new world.
He became after a time the one author
ity in those parts, and his articles upon
the subject attracted wide attention. He
did not realize how much this work of
his signitied until his door-bell rang one
day announcing the arrival Of a gentle,
mar who had come all the way from
Oberlin to offer him, upon the strength
Of his reputation, the professorship in
botany in that institution. He is the
most widely known botanist in the entire
northwest and is recognized in the uni.
verslties OF America and Europe az the
authority upon the botany Of that re,
gion.
This illustrates the possibilities open
to a studious man who is willing to de.
vote himself to a specially in any section
OF the country. Even a thousand mules
from the centers east or west he car
make himself felt from sea to sea, ant
even across the sea.

Mrs. CLEVELAND is always an object
of more than ordinary interest to the
American people, hence the following in
cident related by a Washington paper
is worth repeating: Sharon Fava, the
Italian minister, was about to leave the
executive mansion when Mrs. Cleveland,
who had: just driven up. alighted from
her carriase. She paused a few moments
to converse with the retiring dean Of the
diplomatic corps, and as she extended
her hand to say good Afternoon to him
Baron Fava made a courtly bow and
raising her hand to his lips kissed it in
true cavalier fashion. Mrs. Cleveland
seemed slightly embarrassed, the baron
retired smiling, and two western con-
gressmen, who saw the act, almost fell
off of the portico with amazement.
The only thing about the incident that
is especially surprising is the fact that
the congressman referred to did not fall
entirely off the portico. The Italian
simply practiced an old Italian custom
and was most discerning in his choice of
a subject, presuming this story to be
true,

Ia now seems quite probable that the
Townsite company may be forced by the
action OF the workingmen to abandon
the building Of a great custom power
house at present. The demands of the
men do not seem reasonable under the
circumstances. In a new country like
this, where capital must lie idle for a
long period when it is invested in works
that are in advance of other develop
ment, it requires nerve and ~self-sacrifice
IN the part OF capitalists to invest their
money in such enterprises. If they find
that there is a disposition on the part of
men they employ to be u~nreasonably ex-
acting, nobody can wonder il they tie up
their money bags and seek some other
field for investment. The Royal Milling
company can purchase from the electric
light and power company all the power
it will need for operating the big -four
ing mills and elevator, 80 that there is at
present no very urgent need for the COM
pletion Of a custom power plant. The
advantages OF such a plant. however,
would be greater to the artisans Of Great
Falls than to any other class of citizens,
and it is a misfortune to them to have
the work abandoned. The fact that a
public work Of this kind can not be
pushed to completion because of labor
troubles is also a detriment to the city.
Such things retard growth, depress bust
ness, and give the city a black eye among
capitalists and would-be settlers. These
matters should be considered.

GOLD MANIPULATION.

Within the last few days the gold bugs
have given their case dead away, and it
will be a mystery il the president fails to
note the significance of their game.
They succeeded in keeping up the call
for gold for shipment abroad until the
treasury limit was reached. Then Secre-
tary CarliG le shut down on them because
the law requires him to keep a gold
reserve of ~Sl00,O00,00O. Then the howl
went up for the issue Of government
bonds, and the people may thank their
stars that there is Just now an admins
tration at Washington which cannot and
will not permit a ring Of gold sharks to
run the treasury department. Even in
poor and obscure nations such a state of
affairs was never heard of, and 1t has
been brought about here for the sole
purpose Of forcing, il possible, an issue
of bonds, because United States bonds
are regarded as among the best invest.
ment securities in the world.
A financial report published this morn
ing in our dispatches, showing the con-
dition OF the national banks of the
country, is a capital exposition Of the
chicanery Of the gold ring. There is no
more reason for the government to issue
bonds than there 10 for Marcus DAILY to
mortgage his t~rotting horses. We have
the ability IN accumulate monev enOugh
to buy half the world, and as a nation
there is scarcely a contingency that
could arise which could force us into the
market as a borrower at this time.
Now is Mr.. Carlisle's opportunity to
give the gold ring a black eye. 1t is a
nuisance, and no fate it could meet with
could equal its merits for punishment.
But it's back cannot be broken, nor its
power for evil taken from it until silver
is restored as full legal tender money.

Mr.. CarIislc's Favoritc Recreation.

While Mr.. Carlisle is a great brain
worker and has capacity to get through
a large amount of mental labor which is
exhausting as well to the physical body,
yet he is fond Of pleasure and recreation.
His chief recreation is n small game Of
dla w poker--a sort of family game-at
his residence, one or two evenings during
the week, with a few invited friends.
The ante is only 5 cents, and the limit
but 25 cents. He always plays in bad
luck-I think quits the game four out
of five times a loser.
The fives and deuces seem to have a
great fondness for his hand. One rarely
deals without giving him a deuce or a
five, and he never fails to call tho atten-
ton of the players to the fact with the
exclamation: Here's hat deuce OF
Here's that five again. | get it every
time" But all the same he enters into
the spirit of the game with as much ear
nestness as he does in solving a great
question in political economy, and from
these poker party meetings he derives a
great deal of keen enjoyment and much
needed recreation louisville Courier.
