Beware OF Fruit Skins.

With regard to the eating OF fruit
m important caution must be given:
Fruit skins carry germs and are no
more intended for human sustenance
than potato skins, melon rinds, or
pea pods. The bloom of the peach is
. luxuriant growth of microbes, that
OF the grape only less so; and when
these skins are taken into the stomach
they find most favorable conditions
for their lively aud rapid develop
ment, which causes the decay OF the
fruit before it is possible to digest it.
Fhas is the reason that many persons
think they cannot eat raw fruit. II
they would in ALI cases discard the
skin they could derive only good
from the fruit itself. Nature pro-
vadss the skin for the protection OF
the fruit from multitude OF germs
which are ever ready to attack it, as
Is evidenced when the skin is bruised
or broken in any way. The microbes
ct once begiu their work OF decay,
aud thefruit is unfit for food. Child,
rem are chief offenders in respect to
this rule, and should be carefully
watched and frequently cautioned.
A daintiness as to the condition oil
fruit should also be cultivated, to
prevent its being eaten unripe, or
too old, on the verge OF decay. Re
member that it is sweet and ripe
fruit, in prime condition only, that is
recommended. From 'Sanitarian;

A steam shearing plant started re-
Gently at Casper, Wyoming. They
have been in use in Australia for
several years, but this was their FIRST
introduction into the United States.
The sheep sheared were from q band
of wethers, shearing fourteen pounds.
They worked perfectly satisfactory to
all. The first one was sheared in five
minutes. Two hand-sheared sheep
were caught and resheared by the
machines. From one the machine
sheared twelve ounces of wool AMI
from the other thirteen ounces. The
machines shear better staple and
do closer work than by hand.

An Altruistic Community.

dent OF the Altruria Colony in Berke-

ganization very complete and one

The Berkeley colony is unique in
many ways. They not only reverse

About two weeks ago some boy.

community came to the conclusion
that they were the remains of Decker's
wife and baby, who had disappeared
q years ago. Decker could not
prove that they were not, as all the
people who had seen his wife depart
from Yreka were dead. He was ar
rested and accused Of numbering
nearly every person in the vicinity
Of Yreka who had died suddenly or

The murders charged to his account

Mans lnhupanity to Himself,

The most inhuman outrages, outrages
which would disgrace the savage, man
prepetrates upon his own system by swal-
lowing drastic purgatives which couvulse
his stomach. agonize his intestines and
weaken his system. Many people constant
ly do this under the impression that medi-
Garments only which are violent in their
action, and particular cathartics, are Of any
avail. Irreparable injury to health is
wraught under this mistaken idea. The
laxative which most nearly approaches the
bene.icent action OF nature is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. which is painless but
thorough. and invigorates the intestinal
canal instead of weakening and irritating
It. The liver and the stomach share in the
bsnlga discipline instituted by this com
prehensive medicine, whose healthful in
fiuence is felt throughout the system.

complaints succumb to II.

THE HOUSE RECEDES.
A Complete Surrender to the Senate
and to the Sugar Trust.
Probabilities That the Tariff Bill Will Be-
come a Law Without the Presidents
Signature.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 13.-The Demo-
Gratis of the house today held a eau
Gus at which 153 members attended.
Speaker Crisp. Chairman Wilson and
other members of the tariff conference
committee entered in body from the
speakers room. Wilson took the
floor and explained the difficulties
which had bee experienced in reaching
a compromise. Speaker Crisp said it
was the senate bill or no bill and
offered a resolution that the house
conferees recede and accept the senate
bill. This was adopted by a vote of
13O to 2l and the caucus adjourned.
Among those voting against the reso-
ldtion were the Louisiana members.
When the house assembled Speaker
Crisp offered resolution instructing
the house conferees to recede from
and instructing the ways
and means committee to bring i'm sep
arate free sugar, iron and coal bills.
At 2:3O the rules committee sub
mitted a report for the immediate
OF the senate tariff bill,
to be followed by separate bills for
sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire.
Reed made parliamentary objection
to the procedure, claiming that the
tariff bill was before the house and in
dicated that the Republicans Int ended
to fight the bill and report i'm every
proper way. Crisp held that the reso-
luton was in order and before the
house. The previous question was
ordered without division and the reso-
luton instructing the house conferees
to accept the senate bill was adopted,
l76 to 81.
There is good authority for the
statement that the president will
neither sign or veto the senate tariff
bill, but let it become a law without
his signature.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.
An Open Letter on the Subject From the
Hon. Jas. Fergus.
HOME. July Goth. 1894.

HOME, July Goth, 1894.
Mr.. II. S. HAMILTON: In reply to
your inquiry as to how our people will
vote on the capital question, | think
nearly every voter whose vote is not
bought directly or indirectly by Ana
conda capital will vote for Helena.
At the annual picnic held on Armell
creek in this county few days ago q
test vote was taken with the result
that seventY-six were in favor of Hell
ena and only two for Anaconda, both
OF which are said to have been cast by
strs ngers. And why should there not
be a large majority for Helena? Two
thirds OF the area of our state is on
the east side of the mountain. Hell
ical center is in this county. 1t is
nearest to the geographical center. 1t
is easy OF access in all directions. 1t
has every convenience for the capital
of a great state and is not owned by
or dependent on any one man, cor
poration or industry. Again, while a
great deal OF Helena capital has been
and is still invested in our mines, and
in our cattle, sheep and horse indus
tries, not dollar OF Anaconda capi-
tai has been invested in our county as
far as have heard. Experts are sent
to look at our mines and make big
promises before election, but we
neither see them or their money after.
Nearly half OF our population is from
Helena and vicinity-what We call
1.-THE upper country"-and while capi-
talists and corporations are buying
up and controlling our voters, our
legislatures and congresses, | hope, in
dependent of its being just and right
apd for the benefit of a large majority
OF the people OF the state that the
capital should be kept in Helena, that
the people OF this county will show by
their votes that they are not serfs but
American freemen whose votes cannot
be bought or controlled by wealthy
capitalists, American or foreign.
These are trying times. Government
by the people is on trial; let us not
aid by our votes in it's overthrow.

GOOD OLD eUcKSToNE.

A Famous English Comedian Who Was the
Personification. of DroIlery.
Buckstone-the good old Buck
stone, the delight of our boyhood-
made visit to the bright Haymar-
ket something akin to enchantment
Oh, for the days of pure, unalloyed
theatrical pleasurel You went to see
not the play, but Blackstone lui-me-
me. He would figure in some un-
pretending but satisfactory character
ia the important piece of the night
and where he aided the others. But
it was not until toward 10 o'clock
that people poured init was the day
of second price"-to see their
"Bucky" virtually by himself in
some deliciously absurd-not situa-
ton, nor farce. His voice, heard
patory chuckle through the theater,
to swell into roar when he ap-
peared. 1t was full of an unctuous
enjoyment.
When he came on, his figure was
unconsciously grotesque, not dressed
up to look absurd, but naturally SO,
like some of those ''Quizzes' we meet
occasionally in society, who are un-
conscious that their friends are so
amused at them. This same tone of
easy, natural, unforced drollery at
tended him To the very last sentence
of the piece. He was irresistible-as
when he would tell us quietly that
''he had merely gone to Buxton to
drink the waters"
The whole drama was "Bucky"
himself. Oh, for that exquisitely
comic face, that mouth that twisted
to one side, the words issuing from
one of its corners, the eyes twlnkling
with unctuous drollery and fun I!
Then followed series of absurd en-
barrassments, with roars to the end,
when every one went home to sup
per or bed in good humor and enjoy
ment. This seeing Blackstone" was
entertainment enough, and it is curl
GUS now to look back and think how
the enjoyment depended on the ex-
ertions of a single parsonage, who
spread light and animation all about
him. Blackstone, in fact, was the
Haymarket. Now, as night draws
