whose divorce suit in Silver Bow
occupied columns of the newspapers and
who was ordered to pay alimony to his
wife, has shook the snOw of Montana
from his feet and is said to be now en-
joying the balmy climate of South Car
DINA. 1t is understood that he stated.
before he left. that he would never re-
turn. In a letter to a Butte lawyer he
described how he narrowly escaped
death in a collision of railroad trains
nea Omaha. He heaped anathemas
upon the Butte courts for alleged un-
fairness in the trial of his case. Mr.
Schmalhausen was willing to pay ali
mony to his wife, but he drew the line
at the attorneys fees in the case.
The Schmalhausen case came up be-
fore Judge Speer this afternoon, says
the Butte Inter-Mountain of last Satur-
day. Attorney Caldwell of Bozeman,
who represents Mrs. Schmalhausen,
said he had a number of letters which
he desired to read to the court to show
that the doctor had left the jurisdic-
tion of the court intentionally, so that
it's processes could @ be served on
him.
Schmalhausen's attorney, w. |. Lip
pincott, objected to the introduction of
the letters unless presented in the form
of an affidavit. The letters were sub
mitted to the court for his perusal.
After the judge had mastered the
contents, Mr.. Lippincott said he also
had a letter from Schmalhausen which
he desired the court to read. The let
ter was dated from Omaha and in it he
said he had no intentions of returning
to Montana. "Driven from home by
cruelty of my wife," he wrote, land eX-
lied from the state by the injustice of
the courts, | have no longing to re-
turn" The Doctor then described a
wreck on the Burlington train, on
which he was a passenger east. ''when
pulled myself out of the debris
thought of my Montana home and simp-
ly said to myself, wrecked, BY"
After the court had read this letter
-he remarked that the writer used his
name with a great deal of frequency
st is a mighty mean letter to say the
least said the Judge, considering
that it was not I who made the order
in the first place."
Attorney Caldwell's affidavit was
then Orded filed, and the order sus
tanning the motion for alimony was
signed by the court.

A Rivers Mysterious Tide.

The tidal movement in the St. Lawrence
is not the familiar diurnal one common
in the ocean and other extensive bodies of
water, salt OF fresh, and caused by the at
traction of the moon. 1t is something
much more mysterious. The allegation is
that the big river has q total tidal period
of about IA years, and that is that it falls
regularly and continually for seven con-
secutive years, dropping it's level four or
five feet, and then rises for the next ensu-
ing seven years. Those who make this
assertion-and it's most persistent adher-
ents are tho fishermen and guides who
study the river as a matter Of business
from day to day and year to year-are for
titled with apparently excellent evidence.
They will show you the islands submerged
for 10 years that only show themselves at
the lowest water during the two remaining
years Of the period. They will row you
out to perpendicular cliffs, upon whose
sides they, their fathers and their grand
fathers before them have marked high
water, and the alleged dates seem to con-
firm the theory. What makes this singu-
is the fact that the lordly St. Lawrence is
not subject to the floods and droughts
which raise and lower the levels of almost
all rivers many times during the course of
each year. Except for the almost imper-
ceptible 'tidal'' rise or fall, as the case
may be, it's level is constant the year
around. Weeks of heavy rain do not dis
turb it's steady volume o rspoil the anglers

Horse Profits.

A man who knows tells the Philadel-
phia Record that q concern in Philadelphia
makes q profit Of s24 on the CARCASS of ev-
cry horse. In the first place, the hide is
valuable, and the leather known as cor
dovan is taken from the skin over the
rump. The other leather is soft and is
used mostly for slippers and heavy driving
gloves. The hair from the tail and mano
is made into haircloth, and the short hair
is used in stufiing cushions and horse col
lars. From the hoofs Oil is extracted, and
the horny substance is sold to comb man
~ufacturers. The leg bones are used for
knife handles. The ribs and head are
burned to make bone black after tho glue
has been extracted. BY various processes
phosphorus, carbonate Of ammonia, cy-
anide of potassium and prussic acid are
obtained, and sometimes the meat is
canned and shipped to Europe.

Of This great version. Eut Luther nllnselr
was not trammeled by any such sentiment
for his text. He does not scruple, for in
stance, to substitute lines and beeches for
poplars and terebinths in such passages AS
Hosea iv, ID, and Isaiah vi, Is, not because
be had any reason to suppose the prophets
alluded to these trees, but because German
people were more familiar with them than
with those mentioned i'll tho original.

POPULAR ERRORS.
Curious Notions That Commonly Get Into
Peoples Heads.

Curious Notions That Commonly Get Into
Peoples Heads.
The idea that the darkest hour
Immediately precedes the dawn is so COM
mon that it has passed into a proverb.
Light comes as gradually in the morning
as it dies in the evening. 1t would be as
correct to speak of ''the brightest hour be.
fore sunset"
There is no error which prevails more
widely, even among educated people, than
the belief that q man has n rib moro in
his right side than in his left, the def
cheney being supposed to have been inner
tied from Adam. AS q fact, mon and
women each have "a ribs, 10 on each side.
One of the %strangest errors is the delu-
sion that the so called changes of the
moon affect the weather. This supersti-
ton, handed down from remote times, is
held by the vast majority, both educated
and otherwise, throughout the world. 1t
is almost impossible to convince a believer
of this error, his answer being invariably
to the strongest arguments, but how
about the 'tides?" Yet scientists declare
that the moon has nc control or connec-
ton with atmospheric changes.
A mistake which is widely believed in
by all classes is that if a dead body be car
ried across any land on the way to the
grave it establishes q public right of way
over tho land forever. There is no ground
whatever for tho idea, nor, SO far as the
writer can ascertain, has there ever been
any ground at any time. Why such an
idea should be prevalent is a mystery, but
it is seriously entertained, even by very
many educated people.
The notion prevails both in England
and Scotland that the Irish pronounce the
d%iphthong CO broadly. In songs and stories
Of English manufacture they are made to
! say 'sswate'' for Sweet - "strate' for
'%'street, . ''chaze" for ''cheese, "'indade''
for ''indeed," etc. This is altogether
wrong. 1t is tho diphthong ca which is
SO pronounced. Thus speak is 'tspake, .
meat is ''mate'' which pronunciation
Irishmen maintain to be correct.
Ono of tho most common mistakes, and
one prevalent oven among the educated
classes, is that the heart is on the loft side
of the body. 1t will doubtless come us a
surprise to most people to learn that this
is all q mistake, but it is nevertheless ar
~indisputable fact that it is tho smaller sec
ton of the heart that is to the left side, as
a careful study of the human anatomy will
verify. The popular error regarding thu
position of the most important organ o
tho body doubtless owes its origin to thu
fact that the auriclc through which tn,
blood is forced from tho heart into TIN
veins is on the left side, and when an,
twitch is felt it is, of COURSE, at that part

Mrs. E. I. Cook tells some good stories
in her paper on 'sVisitors Books in Good

Under these an irreverent 'stripper'' has
scribbled a ribald rhyme. Do not hesitate,
he tells you in doggerel, on which house
to bestow your patronage, but choose this
happy spot:

And their godly families staid here
And left you their blessings to see,
And, what's more, they held no disputation,
As they did at the next convocation,

Laconic,

Though the great Napoleon was not &C
oustomed to tolerate talking back'' on
the part Of the people about him, several
instances are on record in which he not
only forgave but rewarded a certain degree
of bluntness Of speech from persons whose
loyalty he had no reason to suspect.
Victor Hugo tells q story of Mgr. Myriel,
in which Napoleon asked, "Who is that lit
tie man who is staring at me?" and was
answered by Myriel himself, "You, sire,
are looking at a little man, and 1 am
looking at u great man, and it may be to
the advantage of us BOTH" The story is
declared to be true. The emperor made a
bishop of the little priest tho next day.
1t is related in a recent volume of Ma
pOleonic "reminiscences thai as Napoleon
was one day passing in review some of his
troops he came in front of an old and
faithful officer, who, perhaps from want
of %brilliancv IN the mans part, had never
been advanced beyond the grade of cap
tain, though he was well enough known
to the emperor.
Ihe emperor was passing ut a slow trot.
AS he came directly in front of the old
captain, the officer saluted and said loud
~, but without any apparent movement of
the muscles of his face:
Fifteen campaigns, private, captain!"
And the emperor, without turning his
head or slackening his pace, said:
"Colonel, brigadier, baron!"
Then he was gone. There had indeed
been nc time for a word moro than had
been passed, but these had sufficed for the
captain to communicate a long story and
a reproachful complaint int for the en-
peror to set matters right with a military
and social promotion.-Youth's Compan-

PRINTING!.
Come Curiosities About the Art preaerva-
tive of All Arts.

Come Curiosities About the Art Preaerva-
tive of All Arts.
China, the "cradle of the arts,'' claims
the honor of the invention Of printing.
Away back in the year SOB, nearly 1000
years before Gutenberg issued the first vol
u1ne of his famous Bible, the Chinese were
using the "block SYSTEM Of printing, and
in the tenth century, 400 years before Eu-
rope had become acquainted with the art
preserv&tive," the almond eyed Celestial
typos wore better versed in the science of
setting movable types than were the Ameri-
can printers Of the days Of Benjamin
Franklin. The "block SYSTEM of print
ing, which was so well known i'll tho
FIowery Kingdom less than six centuries
after the birth OF Christ, did not find it's
way to Europe until about tho first of,the
fifteenth century, when devotional man
uals" each bearing II portrait and a few
lines in printing, became popular. These
cuts and printed lines were taken from en-
cravings mado on u single block, the very
earliest dated specimen Of that character
made in Europe bearing date Of 1923.
There is still d question as to who was
the first European printer to use the NOV
able types. 1t is not Il question as to what
European invented movable types, for it is
known that the honor belongs in the far
east. The honorof being the first to adopt
the system appears to rest between Laurenz
Coster of Haarlcm (died 1440), John Faust
and John Gutenberg. In tho above list
somo include the namc of Peter Schoffer,
O son-in-law of Faust. Dutch authorities
claim that Coster was tho first to use the
movable types, and that Gutenberg, who
was at one time n workman in Coster's
shop, stole the idea from him. The Ger
mans give Gutenberg the honor and set
the date Of his first successful practice Of
the art at 1896. The first entire European
book ever printed from movable types
bears the name Of Johann Faust on it's
title page. 1t bore the name Of "Tracta-
tus Petri Hispapi" and was printed at
Mentz in 1912. AS Gutenberg did not put
his name OF all of his books, or the date
when they wore issued, there is some doubt
when the first appeared or how many worc
issued. G~utenberg's great work was his
Latin Bible, which appeared in 1856, and
which is often cataloguel as the "frst
book ever printed Oh movable types."-St.
Louis Republic.

Morality of Colleges.

It is difficult and well nigh impossible
for those who.do not know student life in
timately to gauge rightly the moral stand
ing Of any college. A few dissipated young
men can give u whole class and even q
whole college an unenviable name with
the undiscerning public. But those who
have studied undergraduate life closely
know that these few students are only
chips on the surface, and that their influ-
ence on the deep, strong undercurrent of
college life is scarcely felt. Doubtless the
custom Of putting little restraint on the
social life Of students in most American
colleges has resulted in some temporary
harm. But the self reliant manhood that
it has developed in American young men
has more than counterbalanced the harm.

HAS ONE NEW WIFE a YEAR.
How the Sultan Chooses Her From a
Throng of Beauties.

ThrOng OF Beauties.
Ii is not generally known that tho sui
tan is obliged to marry many women
against his will, yet this is true. The law
of Turkey forces him to take q new wife
every year. This law is about 10 years
old, dating from the time Of the Sultan
Selim, who, wishing to. abolish polygamy,
had but n wife, but the high dignitaries
Of Turkey decided that the ancient laws
should be maintained.
On the prophets birthday, beginning at
sunset and lasting till sunrise, a holiday
Is kept, on the 18th Of Ramazan, a nation
al and religious feast. and it is at this time
the selection Of a maiden, out of the 1O1
who have entered the lists, is made.
The officials who have the matter in
charge rarely allow any of the poorer
classes to compete, and, accepting brides,
presents and promises Of diplomatic aid,
gather the young girls together and give
them instructions regarding dress and the
etiquette Of the occasion. The dress con-
sists Of a large white linen sheet thrown
over the shoulders in Roman fashion, san
dads On the feet, hair hanging loosely, and
no gems or ornaments.
On the Important night the sultan
mounts O fine horse and is accompanied by
| IL IL UllO Hu1SAOO VI a. lftolIGhS
and aids de-camp in their gala uniforms,
representing all the states over which the
sultan yields his scepter. Military bands
make loud and wild music, and the hun
dreds and hundreds OF soldiers which limo
the streets carry on their bayonets Chinese
lanterns to illuminate the procession of
their ruler.
At length the sultan arrives at the
Suleimanic mosque, overlooking tho Gold
en- Horn, and is conducted to the holy
carpet, or prayer rug. Here he stands
while a sermon is preached to him, and
then he goes to the great square. This is
crowded with persons Of distinction, and
in the center is placed a pavilion of scarlet
velvet, richly embroidered and decorated
with the sultan's monogram, the o1licia!
emblem of Turkey. These drapcries arc
festooned upon silver poles, and within
them now arc seen the high priest and the
heir to the throne. Around this stand thu
101 maidens, attired in tho white toga
each holding a towel in her hand, ant
making Rcomplctc circle around the sui
tan.
A prayer is made, tho hcir approaches
his father, and, knecling, offers him two
pigeons. Tho sultan, kneeling also, take
a knife from his belt, invokes tho aid O

SCHOOL NOTES.
What Is Being Done by the Pupils Of
the Public Schools.

What Is Being Done by the Pupils of
the Public Schools.
The public schools closed yesterday
for a two weeks vacation. Exercises
were held in all the lower rooms, while
the upper rooms were holding exami-
nations. Many visitors, including mem
bers of the board Of education were pre-
sent.
In the state examinations in the high
school room, that were held during the
week, a large number of pupils passed.
Next term a class Of thirty-four begin
the study of Latin, seveen the stud y of
Caesars Commentaries. The rhetoric
class will read the "Merchant Of Venice,''
in connection with their rhetoric work.
In the term just closed, there has been
a grading up Of pupils, SO that more
work may be accomplished in the first
six years Of school. Pupils are given all
able to do and kept busy. When pupils
seem able to do the work Of a higher grade
the have been advanced. In the com
ing term the work will be pushed vigor-
ously and it is necessary that every
pupil be present atevery session. There
has been a great improvement in the
matter Of regularity in attendance.
Cases of hardness are decreasing, but
there is still room for improvement, on
part Of some pupils.
Miss Urna Hendershott left this morn
ing for South Dakota, and Miss Nellie
Rafferty, left for her home at Spring
Valley, MINI.
The list Of pupils passing the state
examination will be published later.
Several Of the teachers were pleasantly
remembered by individual gifts from
their pupils.
Miss Thomas's little children made
Prof. Moore a present of slips Of paper
with their names written IN them by
themselves.
