The production of silver having so
seriously fallen off, it will be seen
that copper is the mineral product that
is of cardinal account to Montana
The estimates on copper mark a
higher figure than average prices for
last year, yet a considerable reduction
on that score would still leave Mon

states of the Northwest
As rule the production of silver at
a lower figure than seventy cents can
not be made to pay in Montana. Last
year, on the Wells Fargo figures, which
are only approximately correct, of

twelve millions for Colorado and about
half a million in excess of that amount
for California.

SLEEP AND INSOMNIA.
1t Is Great W onder That We Sleep as Much as We Do.


 Sleep is greater mystery than in- somnia. We hear much of the latter state in these days. But it is more wonderful that we sleep so well than that we are occasionally wakcful. We hear more of sleeplessness than our forefathers did. It is remarkabl fact that in scarcely any of the older recognized textbooks of practice of physic is there any formal notice of insomnia per SC. In later works, and especially in those devoted to treat ment, the subject of insomnia does re- ceive considerable attention. And ev- cry now and again the sleeplessness of great man in the world of science or in that of politics reminds us that emi- hence has its troubles, and of sort which seldom affect the poor man. It is probable that this evil of wakeful- ness is more common than it used to be. The settlements, and especially the worries, of life multiply. Many of the arrangements of society are of a nature to drive away sleep. Even the very pleasures of life are so taken by many as to rob them of one of the greatest pleasures of allan eight hours sound sleep; for we maintain that this is what everybody should aim at It may seem long time to spend third of ones life in leep. But if the other two-thirds are used well there is little cause for blame. No rule for all can be laid down; but it would be well for most people in the in- tensive days in which we live to devote eight hours to the cultivation of the mood and act of sleep, and to resist the domination of all habits and fashions that are inconsistent with this purpose London Lancet.

No Training of Snakes.

One cannot train or teach a snake to do anything whatever; their brain power is so limited that the marvel is how they have ever managed to survive in the great competition, especially when one finds that they are still on the ascending curve" of evolution. Most of them can be tanned to some ex- tent by constant human companions ship and judicious handling (some species very much more readily than others); when they have learned to trust, to appreciate the fact that there is no necessity for self-defense, then they may be trusted, a principle which applies to most animals; and there the scope and possibility of their education. comes to an end. After that the mose that skillful exhibitor can do with them is to adapt himself and his &C., tions to their movements, which by familiarity he can pretty nearly antic- ipate, so that these may appear pur- posive and intelligent He may affect to listen to the serpent's counsels, or receive its kiss on his lips if it's head in- clines in an upward direction, or to guide it to some given spot, should it by chance glide horizontally or down. ward; just as the Indian snake-charmer takes deceptive advantage of the natu- ral defiant attitude of the well-nigh un- tamable cobra de capello. o.-Chamb bers' Journal

Why He Wanted the Kiss.

An amusing incident occurred the other evening at the home of one of Brooklyn's well-known citizens. It was at the dinner table and the family had been waiting for some time for the arrival of the head of the house. The father was unusually late, and when he entered the dining room he made the round of the table, kissing the up turned faces of the little ones. Every thing went we'll until he reached his six-year-old son, precocious lad. The father had kissed him and was about to take his seat at the head of the table when he was surprised at re- quest from the boy for a second kiss The parent hastened to comply, and was stunned by the boy exclaiming: "Say, papa, what place did you stop in at on the way home? 1 like it." The boy was commanded to be silent, but later in the evening the husband ad- mitted to his wife that he had met a friend and-well, you know how it goes. The hoy will need watching as he grows up.-N. Y. Press.

see the old soldiers have not forgotten my dead. although they wore the gray. They fell together at Lookout Noun tain, and when came here at the close of the war, had their bodies brought here for burial" Then drawing back the wreath that covered their names MT. Redmond read: Sacred to the memory of Arthur and Arnold Warner this stone has been erected" Wiping the tears from his eyes the father said: ''The story of a little scene in south ern prison, which you related this morning, took me back to those sad days, and the times when my brave boys were with me. am the man to whom you referred in that incident, aud have brought you here to let you see what your people have done for me by remembering my dead"
 Grasping the old mans bony hand, MT. Redmond told him of the vain search he had been making for him in the years that had intervened since he had proven such friend in strange land, and asked if he could be of any service to him then.
 The old man was too modest to tell of the poverty that had overtaken him in his declining days, but visit to his humble home, where an invalid wife and two young daughters were de- pending on his daily toll for the neces- saries of life, convinced the great law yer that his chance of returning the cup of cold water given him so long before, had indeed come.
 Before leaving he arranged for the removal of the family to his own town, where lucrative situation in his of fee enabled the old father to provide comfortable home for his family and furnish him with the means of edu- eating his daughters so as to prepare them for taking care of themselves.

business, and inquired if he had any money or valuables concealed about his person. Poor, frightened Ben had managed to hide his money, about three hundred and fifty dollars, in his boots, but, not being used to evading the truth, he answered frankly that he had. 'Let me have everything in your possession" returned the major, ex- tending his hand as though he had no intention of being trifled with.
 With quivering lips and fearful eyes Ben put his hand down into his boot leg and drew out the roll of green backs and handed 1t to the major. Then, trying to choke back his sobs, he told of his invalid father, his over worked mother, and the helpless little ones at home, and explained that the money he carried was his soldier brothers wages that they had intrusted to him while in Washington, together with his own earnings, and that it was all to have been sent that very day to the desolate family away of in Penn- sylvania The major listened quietly to the sad story and when it was fin ished he folded the boys passes around the money and said: "When the time comes for you to leave this place, come to me and you shall have your money again."
 Six weeks later Ben was paroled, and, repairing to the majors office to bid him good-by, the kind-hearted off cer put the package into his hands, saying: Here is your money, my boy, and am glad that you will soon have chance to send it to your moth CT. Good-by, and may God bless and take care of you"
 The little fellow took the package gratefully, and was soon on his way to his northern home. His imprisonment had not crushed his ambition, how ever, and after a weeks rest he re- turned to his old stamping ground, and was soon going his rounds as usual.
 Two of his brothers were sent home in pine boxes before the war closed but, except his brief sojourn in Libby, his experience ill the army was not un- pleasant, and when peace was declared he went home with enough money in his pocket to pay off the mortgage on the little house that had sheltered him from infancy. He afterwards worked his way through college, studied law, and in process of time took high sta tion in his chosen profession.
 Several times in after years, during flying trips to Richmond, Ben made in- quiries concerning Maj. Warner, his prison friend, but no one seemed to know what had become of him; so he finally gave up the search, though he never forgot the kindness he had re- ceived at an enemy's hand.
 In the year 1889, Ben, Hon. Ben jamin Redmond, went by invitation to Covington, Ky, to deliver the memo rial oration on Decoration day. In his address he repeated the touching incl dent that had occurred at Libby prison, and afterwards, while the old veterans were strewing the graves of the dead heroes with flowers, an old man came to him and asked him to walk around to the other side of the cemetery to ook at the grave in which his twin ooys were buried. When they reached the rose-covered grave he said: You

older boys hurried off to the nearest town to enlist in the defense of the country which was so dear to them. Ben, the youngest son, scarcely four teen years old, with his heart filled with genuine patriotism, ran away from home, and, eluding pursuit, made his way unassisted to the camp on the Potomac.
 He'll be back when he finds out that ranks" said his father, when he learned what had become of him. But he was mistaken, for when the little fellow discovered that he could not en- list as a soldier, he determined to re- main at the front and earn his bread by selling papers to the soldiers. His pluck won him unexpected success, and he was very proud to be able to send back substantial help to the needy ones at home.
 About November 10, 1862, he left camp between New Baltimore and Warrenton, and made his way to Washington for supply of papers. Having accomplished his object, he set out on horseback for the thirty-mile ride that lay between the capital and the camp. During his absence the union forces had changed position, and, unaware of the proximity of the enemy, he ran into the confederate picket-line, and he was at once con veyed to the headquarters of Gen. Stu art, and from that point he was hur- ried off to Libby prison in Richmond. Maj. Warner was in command of the prison at the time, and when the boy prisoner was brought into his presence he spoke kindly to him, and tried to make him as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. After en- rolling his name the major asked him the customary questions concerning his

 CFrop Ms Ashtabuld, Ohio, Beacon.)
 Mir. Fred Taylor was born and brought up near Elmira, N. Y., and from there en- Lstcd in the lS9th regiment, N. Wv. l., with which he went through the war and saw much hard service. Owing to exposure and hardships during the service, Mir. Tay- Tor contracted chronic diarrhea from which he has suffered now over 3O years, with ab- solutely no help from physicians. By nature he was wonderfully vigorous man. Had he not been, his disease and the exper- iments of the doctors had killed him long ago. Laudanum was the only thing which afforded him relief. He had terrible head aches, his nerves were shattered, he could not sleep an hour day on all average, and he was reduced to a skeleton. A year ago he and his wife sought relief in Q change of climate and removed to Geneva, O., but the change in health came not. Finally on the recommendation of F. J. Hoffner, the leading druggist of Geneva, who was cog nizant of similar cases which Pink Pills had cured, Mir. Taylor was persuaded to try a box. "As drowning man grasps at a straw so I took the pills" says Mir. Taylor, ''but with no morehope of rescue But after thirty years of suffering and fruitless search for relief I at last found it in Dr. Williams Pink Pills. The day after I took the first pills commenced to feel better and when I had taken the first box Twas in fact a new man." That was two months ago. MT, Taylor has since taken more of the pills and hisprOgress is steady and Re has the utmost confidence in them. He has regained full control of his nerves and sleeps as well as in his youth. Color is coming back to his parched veins and he is gaining flesh and strength rapidly. He is now able to do con. siderable outdoor work.
 As he coacluded narrating his sufferings, experience and cure to Beacon reporter, Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help. meet these many years, said she wished to add her testimony in favor of Pink Pills. ITO the pills alone is due the credit of rais- ing Mir. Taylor from ahelpless invalid to the man he is to-day" said Mrs. Taylor Both Mir. and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to express the gratitude they feel or recom- mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hu. manity. Any inquiries addressed to them at Geneva, O., regarding Mir. Taylors case shey will cheerfuly answer, us they are anxious that the whole world shall know what Pink Pills have done for them and that suffering humanity may be benefited thereby
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain all the el- ements necessary to give new life and rich ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for 5O cents per box, or six boxes for s2.50.
