Mistress of style.

An article in periodical calls atten-
ton to the degree of M. S.-Mistress
of Style-as that most coveted by all
women, outranking, at least so far as
admiration is concerned, all the A. M. 5.
and PHI d. Is. in existence. The statement
leads back to the old query, Do college
girls and other women given to intellec-
tual exercise care for such mundane
matters as looks and clothing? 1t may
safely be asserted that they do. There
may be no definite, outspokeB views"
upon the matter, but the principle that
a woman, to make the most of her OPP
portunities, be they intellectual or other
wise, must both look and dress just as
we'll as she can is universal. Mrs. May
Wright Sewall herself wouldn't dream
of facing her national council in a last
years bonnet The day of the blue
stockinged and thick umbrellaed reform
er is past. Both philan;hropieal and col
lege women are nowadays as conspicu-
GUS for grace Of body as for grace OF

Domestic Architecture In Chicago.

The inhabitants Of Chicago are the
least curious and observing people in
the world. According TO their own news
papers, they permitted one II. II. Holmes
to construct in their city a house so ex-
traordinary, so full of hidden doors and
secret passages and acid proof watts that
it would have attracted thousands Of
curious visitors had it been built any
where else. But the guileless Chicago
ans suspect nothing. Neither the man
who issued the building permit nor the
men who did the building saw anything
unusual about the house What is the
matter? Is all Chicago blind, or are
acid proof watts and secret passages part
and parcel of the ordinary Chicago
dwelling? Perhaps there is an interest
ing chapter to be written about domestic
architecture in Chicago. - Milwaukee

Which No Man Has Explored.
The surface IF the Sargasso sea seems
like a perfect meadow Of seaweed 1t Is
supposed that this enormous mass Of
gulf weed may have been partly grown
at the bottom Of the shallower parts Of
the sea and partly torn from the shores
Of Florida and the Bahama islands by
the force Of the gulf stream. 1t is then
swept around by the same agency into
the Sargasso sea, where ii lives and
propagates, floating freely in midocean.
And the store Is ever increasing, both
by addition and propagation, SO that the
meadow grows more and more compact,
and no doubt at the inner parts extends
TO a considerable depth below the sur
face.
Nor is this all. for at least two-thirds
of all the infinite fiotsam which the gulf
stream carries along with it in its course
sooner or later finds a resting place in
the Sargasso sea. Here may be seen
huge trunks of trees torn from the for
ests of Brazil by the waters of the ANA
zon and floated down far out TO sea until
they were caught and swept along by the
current logwood from Honduras, orange
trees from Florida, canoes and boats from
the islands, STAYED in, broken and bottom
upward wrecks and remains of all sorts
reaped from the rich harvest of the At
lantic; whole keels or skeletons of ruin
ed ships, so covered with barnacles,
shells and weeds that the original out
line is entirely lost to view, and here
and there a derelict ship, transformed
from floating terror of the deep into a
mystery put ont Of reach Of man in a
museum of unexplained enigmas. =

A Chinnman,s ideal WIG.

The Cinnamon of Australia, when
they take a notion to marry, write to a
matrimonial agent in Hongkong some
thing as follows: II want a wife. She
must be a maiden, under 20 years Of
age, and must not have left her father s
house. She must also have never read a
book, and her eyelashes must be half an
inch in length Her teeth must be as
sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon. Her
breath must he like unto the scents of
the magnificent odorous groves of Java,
and her attire must be from the silken
weaves of Ka-la-C Ching, which are on
the banks of the greatest river in the
world - the overfowing Yang-tse-Ki-

Boise, Idaho, Feb. "a ray of light to-
night shown in upon the darkencd re-
cesses of the senatorial muddle. The
Shoup men held caucus in tho state
house, tho while Sweets solid 10 were
likewise engaged, the Shoup men asked
them to join in. Sweets men would not
join, as they said il was not duly called
caucus. They, however, appointed a COM
mIttee of four, comprising Parkinson and
Myers of the senate and Henry and Row
land of the house, TO confer and ascertain
what was decided.
Tho committee conferred and re-
ported that the Shoup republicans
are dcsirous of pushing legisla-
ton on the revenue, appropriation
and Irrgations bills, and to that end are
willing to also include discussion of tho
senatorial matter, looking to an agree
ment upon some third man.
A call has been issued for a caucus of
both republican factions for tomorrow
night, and tho senator will be agreed upon
If possible. 1t is known that somo of the
prominent Sweet men have notified
Shoup's forces that they will under no
considera tion talk third man in tho eau
Gus, and it is claimed that some of the
other faction expressed a desire TO come
over II nothing else will avail.

Comparisons with the other text books
specified in the Joy bill are not at hand.
The first three columns of the foregoing
table show the prices for the books deliv-
cred in the states named. The Joy bill,
it will be seen, contemplates giving the
retailers a profit of about % per cent.
Compared with the prices charged the
state under tho expiring contract, reduc-
tions of > cents or so per copy are made
on many books. Captain Edwards claims
that the Montana prices compare very ia
vorably with the Minnesota prices when
account is taken of the increased freight.
The books are to be delivered TO the county
seats, and the captain instances Lewis
town. Fergus county, the expense of
reaching which is very great on account
of the absence OF railroad facilities. There
are a good many people here, however,
who think that even taking the freight
into consideration the trust hows dis
elimination against Montana.
QUALITY OF THE Trust BOOKS.
As to the charge that many Of the books
proposed in the Joy bill are too ancient,
some of them having been published in
the '7Os. number of Mon;ana's county
superintendents and principals have re-
