THE MINERAL LAND CASE,

The Washington special to the Pho
neer Press, Of St. Paul, in which it is
suggested that the state of Montana
had practically abandoned the prosecu-
ton of the appeal in the case of the
Northern Pacific railroad vs.. Richard p.
Barden is based upon the assumption
that Hon. Martin Maginnis and Hon.
W. W. Dixon were here instead of be-
ing at Washington looking after the
case. The special also states that. as
the railroad company will be represented
in person by eminent counsel, it will
have a walk over" and a case of great
interest to the state of Montana be lost
for want Of proper attention.
The facts are these: Hon. Martin
Maginnis. seeing that the questions in
volved in this case were of vital i'm
~portance employed Toole g. Wallace on
behalf OF the state to appeal from the
decision Of Judge Sawyer, and to pre-
pare a brief and argument for the SUI
preme court Of the United States. In
pursuance OF this arrangement Mr..
Toole, after a thorough examination of
the propositions presented upon the
appeal carefully prepared al elaborate
brief and argument, in which all the
principal authorities are collated and
cited and questions discussed in q law
yer like tanner.
In addition to this, Attorney General
Miller, Assistant Attorney General
Shields, and Hon. M. f. Morris and
Hon. w. W. Dixon have also prepared
able briefs, and all of them will appear
in person, with the exception of the lat
ter, and argue the case on the part of the
pellant. The article seems to regard
the court much in the light of Il referee
in Il prize light, to DO influenced by the
pomp and demonstration of Il formidable
array of legal lights on behalf of the
railroad to such an extent, to use it's
language, as to make sit a walk over"
The supreme court of the United
States is composed of the ablest iurists
of this country, not surpassed by that OF
any other, and whatever of merit there
is in the briefs, argument and authori
ties will be properly weighed and con.
sidered when this walk over parade'
has passed by, and the forensic clio
guence Of tho advocate is regaled il
silence before the cogent reasoning O.

A REAL old Jacksonian democrat
turned up in congress in the person OF
Representative Dearmond, who intro
duced a bill to suspend during the first
year OF each presidential term all civil
service laws which might embarass the
new administration in making appoint
ments. Ii the bill passes, which is very
doubtful, President Harrison could not
render a more courteous act to Mr..
Cleveland than by afliXing his approval.

Old Time Banking Methods.

While discussing the matter of the
troubles and trials of banking business
Of today President James Espy Of the
Ohio Valley National bank said to a
group of friends: II tell you that we do
not know anything about the peculiari-
ties Of the banking business. have
heard officials of the bank when l was be-
ginning in the business rehearse the expe-
riences in early banking in Virginia. AS
is well known, the residents of that state
were not much given to business tactics.
Whenever they had occasion to issue a
note, and it was quite frequent, the bank
officials had to drive around to the vari-
GUS farms, or to the place where the
maker lived, and it was quite difficult to
get them to sign the original, but much
more so a renewal. Experts got so they
could tell whether the note was renewed
in the house or in the field, as they could
tell whether it was written on the POM
mel of a saddle or at regular desk."-

A Powerful Authentic.

Extensive researches made upon cor
rosive sublimate by DR.. McClintock of
London show though the substance is not
a valuable acknowledgements withstand
ing it's action for some time-it proves
to possess, of all substances, the greatest
antiseptic power, so that germ treated
with the article, unless perchance it gets
into the blood or is exposed to very ex-
ceptional conditions, is powerless to
grow-that is, it is probable that spore
of subtilis or anthrax treated with subli-
mate, in 1, ZOO, and then thrown on the
soil or into water, will not terminate,
owing to the fact that the capsule of
sublimate surrounding it is not removed.
It is found that corrosive sublimate
forms 18th cellulose, as cloth, filter pa
per, etc., with silk, with albuminous
bodies, with some part of bacteria, prob
ably the envelope, chemical compound
that cannot be removed with any amount
of washing in water. Thus sublimate
when acting on germ forms capsule
around it that protects the germ for a
time from the further action of the sub
Innate and in turn forms an impenetra-
BILE barrier to the growth of the organism
unless removed. This barrier may be re-
moved with salines.

Cosmetics Among the Romans.

~OoAA0SA~0
All that had been previously done in
the way of facial decoration was left far
in the shade by the ancient Romans.
All the Latin writers poets,
naturalists and others-mention it in
one way or another. It was the practice
of Roman actors, as it has been of those
of the profession since the theater has
existed. Many Of the emperors used
paint more or less freely. Heliogabalus,
one of the most eccentric, when he en-
tered Rome for the first time, had his
eyelashes painted black and his cheeks
red and white. In the time of Augustus
the custom was universal among women
Of fashion, details of which are given by
Horace, Catullus, Tibullus, Ovid, Pro
pertius and the rest. Martial speaks of
the chalk of Fabulla that fears the rain,
and the wax of ISABELLA that fears the
sun. MI
Horace mentions red lead and carmine
as among the articles employed. Ju-
venal in one of his satires describes a
paste that covers the faces of wives and
adheres with tenacity to the faces of hus-
bands. Coquettes, according to Horace,
used paste prepared from beans, much
like that used by some modern French
women, and were also given to the use
of cummin. Mandragora is mentioned by
Pliny, and peoples by Ovid. San Fran

The Moon g We see y. II.

The Moon % We Sec II.
Did you ever stop to consider the fact
that the inhabitants of this earth have
never seen but one side Of the moon. and
to inquire the reasons why such is the
casea The explanation is this: The moon
makes one revolution on her axis in the
same period Of time that she takes up in
revolving once around the earth, thus
the same geographical region of the lunar
surface is always toward rs. As one ex-
PLANTATION usually calls for another, it
may not be out of place to mention the
fact that the reasons the two motions Of
the moon above referred to so nearly
coincide are these:
The moon Is not true globe, but is
very elliptical in form. It did not in all
probabilities originally start on it's axial
rotation with precisely the same velocity
with which It moved around the earth.
but the very best astronomers say that
the two motions were not far apart in
the start. Assuming that the moon was
semi-lquid or at least soft in those re-
mote days, the earth's attraction caused
the lunar surface to elongate, and in the
untold ages which followed it's axial TO
tation, owing to the attractive influence
Of both the earth and the sun, was made
to correspond with its esbital movement
around the earth.-St. Louis Republic.

A curious box was recently found
amid the ruins of Pompeii. The box was
marble or alabaster, about 2 inches
square and closely sealed. When opened,
it was found to be full of pomatum or
grease, hard, but very fragrant. The
smell resembled somewhat that Of the
roses, but was much more fragrant.
