The Camel.

The fifteenth century pilgrim, Fee
lix Fabri, so exactly expresses my
sentiments about camels that I will
quote his remarks. He says:
"a camel has a small head and is
without horns. 1t has big and ter
rible eyes and always seems a sor-
rOwful and troubled animal. Its eyes
are like fire beacons, and big refiec-
tons shine in them, for whatever a
camel looks at seems great and huge
to it, wherefore it seems to view ev-
erything with wonder and alarm.
When, therefore, a man goes up to
it, the beast begins to tremble, SO
that the man perceives that the
beast trembles because the man com
ing toward it seems to it to be four
times bigger than he really is.
"Had not God SO ordered it this an
imal would not beso tame and order
ly as it is. When it screams, being
in trouble, it opens its mouth, shakes
its head and raises up its long neck,
wagging it to and fro, SO that a man
who is not accustomed to it is dis
turbed and frightened. Nineteenth

Arlington and Belt may well feel
proud of their talented young orators,
Ed Barnum and John Gieske. Both de-
serve credit and praise for the manner in
which they delivered their orations, it
being the first appearance of either gen.
tleman as an orator, at the 4th of July
celebration at Belt-Armington Times.
Pat Boyle started this week with sup
plies for a few weeks stay in the Middle
Fork country where he will work the
Day Star, a claim belonging to himself,
VIM. Mueller, P. H. DOnovon and r. s.
Ford. The property contains a magnifi-
body of ore, which assays high in
lead and also bears free gold. The ore
in early days was worked successfully
with an arasta.
c. w. Somerby, of Minneapolis, a
travelling correspondent for a number of
eastern dailies, making a horseback tour
of the state in company with his brother,
Freeman Somerby, of Philadelphia Pa.
The party reached Neihart Thursday
afternoon. Somerby is more than favor
ably impressed with Montana and thinks
there is a future for this wonderful state
as great as the country itself. He says
the hard times has struck the east harder,
if possible, than the west, and that the
most depressing sight he has met with
in Montana, so far, is to see the great
silver industry of the state paralized as
it is. Silver, he thinks, is as low as it can
be and he believes that it must come up.
Indications in Washington and the east
he says, at present would seem to indi-
cate speedy relief in the matter. This
party of travellers are especially i'm
pressed with Neihart and vicinity. Mr..
Somerby says he is the worst sort of a
tenderfoot, but is enthusiastic over the
trip and the people. Montana hospital
ity he thinks is something to be proud
of; and a the young man has travelled
extensively in this country and abroad,
his opinion is worth something.

The Head and Feet,

The connection between the head
and feet is well known. A hot head
is ordinarily relieved by a hot foot
bath. So cold feet tend to longest
the brain and other internal organs.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
tight lacing OF tight fitting shoes.
But it is as much a suicidal act to
hasten death by COMPRISING the
lungs OF the feet as by COMPRISING
the neck with a rope.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
thin shoes, the owner of which must
be left to die as the fool dieth. Some
times they come from ca~relessness in
the matter of overshoes and wet feet
"a carelessness for which, in the
cas- of children, the mothers are
largely responsible. 1t is the duty
of the latter to train their girls to
right habits, based on right ideas,
inculcated from early childhood. If
the rising generations will keep their
feet warm, there will be a marked
diminution in the general death rate.

ONE OF JeFFeRsoN's EXPERIENCES.

'gHome, Sweet Home" Touched a Chord In
the Hearts of the Pigs.
Joseph Jefferson, speaking of his
early life, when he travelled with his
father and mother, said that in one
western town in which they played
the only theater was a penthouse.
This establishment was a large frame
building, mounted upon piles about
two feet from the ground and stu
ated in the open prairie just at the
edge OF the town. The pigs We're
banished from their comfortable
quarters and left to browse about on
the common during the day, taking
shelter under their former abode dur
ing the evening.
After undergoing some slight re-
pairs" he said, and submitting to
thorough securing and whitewash-
ing, the building presented quite are
spectacle appearance. The play for
the evening was 'Clari, the Maid of
Milan This drama was written by
John Howard Payne, and his song of
Home, Sweet Home belonged to
the play. My mother played the
part Of Clari and sang the touching
ballad. Now, it is a pretty well es-
tablished fact that if an infant is
Struggled into the theater it will
break forth into its lamentations just
when the most perfect stiffness is re,
quired.
ION this occasion no youthful hui
manity disturbed the peace, but
the animal kingdom in the shape of
the banished pigs asserted it's right
to a public hearing. AS soon as the
song of Home, Sweet Home COM
menced they began by humping
their backs up against the beams,
keeping anything but good time to
the music, and as my mother plain
lively chanted the theme Home,
Sweet Home realizing their own
cruel exile, the pigs squealed most
dismally. Of course the song was
ruined, and my mother was in tears
at the failure. My father, however,
consoled her by saying that, though
the granting was not quite in har-
mony with the music, it was in per-
feet sympathy with the sentiment"

TOasts were called and the following
was beautifully rendered:
The cGin1ey Violin.

A relic of value, with an interesting
bit of history connected with it, is the
concert violin belonging to Bob McGin-
ley. We had often heard of this instru-
ment and as often sat and listened to it's
soft and melodious tones, but this week
was given the opportunity of closely in
specting it, and at the same time of ask
ing its owner the questions relative to
its history. Mr.. Mckinley claims to
have had his eye upon this violin for
several years watching his chance to get
possession of it.
1t was made in Cremona, Italy, 1872,
after the model of Nicolaus Amati.
Prof. Paul Julian when but 10 years of
age left Boston for Italy to take instruc-
tons upon the violin. While, there he
purchased this violin at a cost of 1000
liras, a sum equivalent to about 5000 of
our money. He returned to America at
the age of %, an accomplished musician,
where he joined Prof. Ericsson, of Boston
and with this violin made a tour of Eu-
rope. Shortly after his return to Amer
lea the young Professor fell sick and
died, upon which event the violin be-
came the property of Ericsson. This
master travelled over the United States,
and laterly settled in San Francisco,
where he played in the theaters for two
years with the Julian violin. He then
accepted a steady engagement at the
Metropolitan theater of Sacramento
which he held until his death which oc-
Cured II year or two later.
His room mate, Judge j. r. Longe-
Dough. was left in position of the cele-
brated instrument, who being somewhat
OF a fiddler himself, priced it very
highly. 1t was from him that mckinley
was finall able to procure it at a cost of
$500. But it is rich and beautiful in
tone and is classed among the best in
struments in America.

Behind the Flag.

A paragraph in a local newspa-
per on the importance of displaying
the national colOrs on the school
buildings and urging the selection of
a color guard of several boys in each
school to raise and lower the flag
each day calls to mind an incident
which occurred not long since on the
occasion of some public school exer-
cises. Mr.. Harrison Hume was max
ing an address before the pupils, in
which he referred to the national
emblem and the reasons why VIC
should all feel a pride in it.
"Now," he asked, pointing to a
banner at one end of the schoolroom,
what does it Representa- What is be-
hind the fag3"
While the speaker paused tempo
rarily a boy who supposed that an
answer was expected spoke up
promptly and replied:

TOSS THE COINS YOURSELF.
The Chances of Three Pennies Falling All
Heads or All Tails.

Supposlng a man to toss three pen
MES in the air, what are the chances
of their coming down all heads or
tallsa That is a question discussed in
a recent number of Nature by Fran
els Gallon of the Royal society. He
upsets a popular delusion regarding
the laws of chance. 1t is obvious
that at least two of the coins thrown
In the air must turn up alike, for
when the coins are on the ground
there must always be. either two
heads or tails showing. The question
then is as to the chance of the third
coin turning up a head or a tail. 1t
is of course an even chance whether
a third coin turns one side or the
other.
Is it therefore an even chance that
all three coins will be alikel Mr..
Cation says it is not an even chance,
and that the man who bets his money
on such a theory would lose in the
end. He says the relative chance of
all three coins turning up alike is 2
to 8, and he figures it out in this way:
There are two different and equally
probable ways in which a coin may
turn up; there are four ways in
which two coins may turn up, and
there are eight ways in which three
coins may do SO. OF these eight ways
M is all heads and another all tails.
While it is an even chance whether
a third coin is heads or tails, it is not
an even chance that the third coin
will turn the same as the other two.
In order to test the matter Mr.. Gal
ton tossed three coins eight times.
Only twice did they come up all alike,
while the third coin was equally di-
vided between heads and tails. MI.
Gallon then made 120 throws of dice,
with three dice in each throw, the
odd numbers counting as heads and
the even numbers as tails. The 100
throws were divided into groups of
40 each and gave the result of all
alike-S, IL, s; total, 2S-as against
all not alike-32, %, 90; total, 90.
This seemed to settle the matter and
indicated that the most probable eX-
p%ectation in the case of the dice was
80 to 80.

In the spring of 1898 S. B. Bradford
of Warren county, Ia, found a per-
feet fossilized shark in the David 81
mons coal mine, near Carlisle. This
tiny species of the ocean tiger" was
only about IA inches long, but was a
perfect shark in every particular,
fins, head, tail, teeth, mouth, etc.
The strata of shale in which the pet.
rifaction was found is fully 100 feet
beneath the surface, and considering
the fact that the Mississippi valley
has taken on SO much in the shape of
qualification and drift since the pc

ship existed in flesh and blood, it is
no wonder that he is a pygmy when
compared with the thoroughbred

busy doors were swinging in and out,
and the people we're bustling to the

in a dazed way, while the lily swayed
with sympathetic emotion, and at
last he spied Terence. He took the
Irishman by the arm.

About That Yogo Country.

c. w. Jones, of Yogo, came in on
horseback from the Spings Wednesday.
He has located several claims, both
quartz and placer in the Yogo gulch
and feels quite sanguine that the country
is coming out all right. The character
of the ore on these claims in all but one
property is smelling ore. One vein on
the Jones ground is Al feet wide carrying
gold from So to $15 per ton. 1t it is a
smelling proposition, with plenty of
fluxes directly at hand. Sixty acres of
fine placer ground is now being worked
on the rim rock, and some pay is found.
He wants capital to sink to bed rock
which may be forty or fifty feet deep
where everything indicates that there are
quantities of gold. Nobody in the Yogo
district has ever been to bed rock. A
pump and hoist will be needed, when
two men can easily do the work.
Mr.. Jones' ground is two miles below
the site of the Gibson Mari smelter now
being built, and six miles obove the
Hobson works.
The Hobson project is being pushed
ahead with the assistance of eighteen
men. 1t is to run a bedrock fume which
is already about three-quarters of a mile
long and about nineteen feet deep. 1t
will have cost when completed $4,000
or more.
