CleOpatra's Pearl.

Readers will easily call to mind the
story which is told of Cleopatra, to illus
trate her luxurious habits of living, that
she dissolved in her wine a precious
pearl. No one seems yet to have ques-
toned what must have been the effect
upon the drink, but Mr.. Lewes ques-
tons quite pointedly the possibility of
such solution.
We are very sheep in our gregarious-
ness of error. When one bold or stupid
mutton takes a leap, all leap after him.
It is rare TO find men doubling facts,
still rarer to find them doubling whether
the facts be correctly co-ordinated. Our
books are crowded with unexamined
statements, which we never think of ex-
amining.
Do we not all believe that the mag
nificent Cleopatra, regardless of expense,
dissolved in her wine cup a pearl of
great price as if it had been a lump OF
sugar! Is not the ''fact" familiar to ev-
cry one? Yet, if you test it, you will find
the fact to be that pearls are not soluble
in wine. The most powerful vinegar at
lacks them but very slowly and new
entirely dissolves them, for the organic
matter remains behind in the shape OF
a spongy mass larger than the original
arl.--Youth's Companion.

A Warning Wave of the Hand.

-Four boys sat in a row on the tail OF
a big four horse truck, with their legs
dangling off in the usual way. The
truck was going down Broadway. To
avoid something ahead the driver had
turned from the west side of tho road
way along which he had been moving
up into the down track of the cable road.
There it was still slow going for him,
and a cable car that vas coming along
behind closed up pretty close. As the
car neared the truck the gripman mo-
toned to the four boys. They all looked
at the gripman ~intently, but at first
they didn't understand at all. The grip
man motioned again, and this time the
boy OH the left as you looked forward
from the car understood. He shifted
back on the truck and drew his feet up
SO that they no longer projected. Then,
one after another, in quick succession,
the three other pairs of legs went up.
They all understood it now. In the
days of the horse cars the horses were a
sort of buffer between the Car and the
truck. Sometimes they put their noses
over the boys shoulders, sometimes they
swung off to one side or the other, but
they gave a margin of time in which tc
scramble up, and often a margin in
space in which to stop the Car. But the
cable car, with its natural habit of keep
ing we'll closed up and with nothing tc
serve as a buffer, is more likely to come
in contact with a truck ahead, especial
ly if the truck should be halted unex
pectedly or forced backward, and any
pair of legs that should be caught be
tween the end of a truck and the rigit
projecting frame Of q cable car would
be pretty sure to be broken.
Hence the wave of the gripman'
hand. New York Sun.

Origin of Ceases Pending"

ceases pending" said a gentleman
the other evening to a number of gem
tlemen as they Sat watching the smoke
form the Havanas curl upward in
graceful clouds. Now, there is a term
in legal parlance you hear every day,
and yet how many of you know how it
originated?"
Not one knew, and he continued:
Centuries ago in Germany, when
people We're just beginning to seek re-
dress at law, the courts had not the in
tricate machinery and manner of keep
ing records they now have. Still the
cases multiplied, and they used to write
them down on a sheet of paper. These
in time accumulated, so they stuck them
Oh a long wire which hung over the
judges table. They used to take them
off at the bottom of the pile, while the
clerk always put the fresh ones on the
top.
Then there was always a pile OF
cases hanging over the judges table,
and so the term cases pending natu-
rally came into use. Philadelphia

He Got Turnip Seed.

There is u gentleman i'll Alexandria
who involuntarily started q farm. 1t
happened this way: His front yard was
as barren of grass as Bill Nye's head is
of any hirsute adornment. With a view
to having it green and pretty he went
over to the agricultural department and
begged some lawn seed, which were
willingly given him by Secretary Nor
ton. He then returned home, and with
much satisfaction and expectation plant
ed them. Pictures of a beautiful green
lawn and neighbors green with envy
were conjured up before his fanciful
mind, and he watched the beaming sun.
shine and refreshing April showers with
the deepest interest.
In a few days the sprouts began tC
show above the earth. But they were
very curious looking sprouts, and they
seemed about as much like blades OF
grass as a spade is like a pick. The gen
tleman began an investigation. The
sprouts began to grow with rapidity,
and in a few weeks there was more pros
pect of having a vegetable garden than
a lawn. Authorities were consulted
and after a time it was discovered thai
Mr.. Morton had made a mistake. In
stead of grass he had presented tn,
Alexandrian with turnip seed.-Wash

Adulteration of Rubber.

The adulteration of rubber is some
thing remarkable, and in order to make
it weigh more barytes, white lead OF
most anything is used. The is
attracted to the product because it is
cheap, but he pays just so much more
per pound for the heavy minerals COM
pounded. Insulating men use a very
cheap rubber coming from the eastern
coast of Mexico and Nicaragua. 1t sells
for about 10 cents per pound and can
hardly be called rubber. Chicle is very
cheap and used in the manufacture OF
chewing gum. The whole subject is
II of price, and as you cannot get some
thing for nothing you cannot get last
ing mechanical goods at a quotation
which will not pay weight for weight for
the rubber supposed to be in them.-

Cheerfulness.

Whoever said, Laugh and the world
laughs with you; weep and you weep
alone" was indeed wise, for no truer
sentiment was ever written. There is
nothing so certain to make you disliked
as to tell your troubles to friends. Pros
perity means friendship. You are well
come everywhere. The world laughs at
your witty sayings and makes merry
with you. There comes a time when
you are downhearted and fortune ceases
to smile on you, and you look for SYM
pathy from the dear friends who have
shared your prosperity; but, alas! you
look in vain, and there are some who
kindly vote you a bore. People prefer
amusement, and the sight of a forlorn
c%ountenance is not pleasant. The best
thing, when you a force yourself to it,
is cheerfulness. 1t is a great tonic. 1t Is
light and air to u moral nature. To
be without it is to be without something
| that to the mind as clothes and
shelter to the body. - Minneapolis

Anaconda Club Meeting.

The Anaconda for the Capital club
which sprang into existence the other
night at the meeting held in the cham
Der Of m rooms, proved to be
such a lusty infant that larger quarters
had to be secured for its accommoda-
ton at INC and arrangements have
been made to hold the next meeting
which will occur on Monday evening at
the opera house. The City band COM
prising ten pieces has been engaged for
the occasion and some excellent music
may be looked for. Col. w. G. Plummer
the well known platform orator who
CHANGED to be in the city at this time has
consented to address the meeting. Those
who have ever hear Col. Piummer
speak do not need to be told that q
treat awaits them that will we'll repay a
little extra effort to attend the meeting.
Probably no better speaker ever ap-
peared before a Great Falls audience.
The ladies are especially invited to at

it is certain that the opera house will
be filled at the second meeting of the
Anaconda for the Capital club, A num-
Der OF prominent citizens have consented
to speak on the capital question on this
occasion and much interesting speaking

THF COUNTY Commissioners
Are IN Regular Session-Bidge Across
Belt Creek, on the Highwood
Road, Denied.
The County Attorney Is Ordered to
Bring Suit Against the Treas
urer's BOndsmen.

The county commissioners have been
in session since Wednesday last but
most of the business has been of a
routine character, such as receiving and
considering the reports of the various
county officers, auditing bills, etc.
1t was decided to e.establish a voting
precinct at Mid Canyon to be known as
precinct No. 81. Two years g this
precinct cast seven votes, and it was
abolished by the board when they laid
out the districts a few months ago, but
as their action caused some dissatisfac-
ton they reconsidered it yesterday.
The board voted to open a road be-
tween Junkins old house and Major
Fields lane on the Sand Coulee road.
They also appointed Messrs. Evans,
Carr and Bush as viewers on two new
roads in the Deep creek country. They
will meet on Sept. is and 20.
A communication was received from
the county commissioners of Choteau
county offering to build jointly with
this county an iron or steel bridge
across Belt creek, near Peck " Lacy s
ranch, where the Highwood and Great
Falls road crosses Belt creek. The COM
m~upication was backed up by two pc
titions. One was from numerous bust.
ness men of Great Falls who represented
that this road was the most Travelled of
Any road 10 the northwestern portion OF
the county and the bridge was much
needed by the people to get their wool
and produce to the Great Falls markets
and mills. The other petition was from
the Highwood people and commenced
in a somewhat hilarious strain, declar-
ing that they 'hailed with joy the pros
pect Of an iron bridge over Belt creek
and pledged themselves to pay the
amount set opposite their names in cash
or work toward the furtherance OF the
project. About twenty-five names were
appended, pledging in the aggregate Sl3i
in cash and twenty-five days work with
teams. Their enthusiasm was not ap-
preciated by the board, however, as the
proposition was rejected. Messrs. Dickey
and Hay voted against the granting OF
the petitions and j.. j. Ellis In favor OF
the bridge.
On motion the board instructed the
clerk to notify the county attorney to
commence proceedings Immediately
10 recover the remainder Of the county
funds due from the treasurer, entering
suit against the treasurer and his bonds
men. This is the money the treasurer
had deposited in the Merchants National
bank which failed a year ago last Aug.
ust. Messrs. Ellis and Hay voted
for the resolution and S. N. Dickey
against it.
The board then adjourned until next
Monday.

ONE OF LINcOLN'S JOKES.
A Visitor Who Was Terribly Scared During
q Call at the White House.

A Visitor WHO Was Terribly Scared During
Call mt the White House.
Colonel Clark E. Carr Of Galesburg,
who was minister to Denmark under the
Harrison administration, was In wash
ington one day when Lincoln was presi-
dent.
I'm going to the White House to
zee Abe, " said Owen Lovejoy to Carr as
they met in front of the treasury build
ing. Carr went with him. They were
shown into the presidents working
room, and soon after Lincoln came in.
He wore a long garment which might
have been cut from a bathroom pattern
or the cover Of a prairie schooner. His
hair was more frouzeled than usual,
and the carpet slippers were worn down
and without heels. The condition and
appearance of the presidential no.
siery were such as would have made
Jerry Simpson envious, provided the
stories they told on Jerry were true,
which they never were. The president
gave his callers an Illinois greeting
and then showed up one Of the sleeves
Of his curious garment and pointed out
W III NIFltOlo III llllltillSu CoIultlOh u
his arm.
"You knew I had the smallpox, " said
Lincoln in a cold blooded manner. Love-
joy said yes and proceeded to talk about
| other matters, while Carr's few hairs
had inclinations to stand up, and he
moved about in his chair as if it con
tanned dynamite. The visit over, the
| caller passed out. Once in the air, Clark
asked Lovejoy:
Ibid you know the president had the
smallpox when we went there?"
Certainly" was the answer.
"You id s~coundrcl!' shrieked
Carr. "Why didn't you say so?"
1--WE had it" replied Lovejoy, "and
I supposed you had"
"Well l never had It'll" roared Carr.
"But if l do have it now l want you to
give me q certificate that l caught the
disease from Abe Lincoln. That will be
something"
But Lovojoy had no occasion to do so,
as Lincoln had the varioloid only.--Chi-

A Test of Civilization.

One of the principal tests by which
we may estimate the degree of civiliza-
ton to which a nation has attained is it's
treatment of woman. When man was
a savage woman was no more than a
companion animal. When he attained
to the stage Of a barbarian and had
enough intelligence to abandon caves
and build for himself a dwelling m
became the household drudg, doing the
heavy labor Of the field also, and being a
chattel, disposable at the pleasure of her
lord and master. Among the Greeks,
the Romano, and the Jews her condition
was somewhat improved, but polygamy
was lawful. The Teutonic nations
of the nineteenth century have
placed her on a higher plane, and she is
accorded a respect and Difference that
eAcites the establishment of Orientals,
among many of whom oman is treated
as a being without a mind to be cul-
tivated or a soul to be saved. 1t is, how
ever, in our own country that woman has
attained the position of the beloved and
honored queen. In truth, it may be said
that among the better classes, all things
exist for woman. The railroads, es-
pecially, take every means to provide
for her safety and her comfort, and il che
is travelling alone, great pains are taken
to insure her a pleasant journey in this
respect. 1.-THE Burlington" takes the

The Cars Daily News,

1t is useless for q Russian editor to
put any jokes in his paper to please the
czar, because his majesty never reads
them. There is an official known as the
censor, who gets up very early in the
morning, SO that he may read advance
sheets of the various journals and select
such matter as may be best calculated to
please the czar and give him an appe-
tite for breakfast. These siftings are
then copied ON sheets Of fine paper and
are deposited on his majesty's table for
his perusal. Nothing about bombs or
dynamite meets his eye, no comments
ON his tyranny, no remarks about Siberia
in fact, the car is kept in total igno-
rance of his real position and how he IL
regarded by the world at largest.

Extensive Warfare.

The cost of firing one of Krupp's 1870
ton steel guns is 1850, or, adding the
cost of the projectilc, 1900, about 1850
for each shot fired. The gun costs 1885,
600, and it can only be fired at the most
go times. Two shots a minute can be
discharged, so that if it were fired con-
t%inuously it would become valueless in
about half an hour. The gun has a
range of Is miles, and the projectile
weighs 1900 pounds. London Court
