jamestown Alert: The city flour
mills and the mills generally through
out the state have made cut of 10 cents
per 100 pounds-2O cents a barrel-in
the price of -four. This is result of q
conference recently held in Grand
Forks, ut which the milling interests of
the state were quite generally represent
ed. The fall in wheat demanded cor
responding fall in the price of -four,
and it was finally decided to cut the
price of -four down twenty cents bar
rel. In addition to Montana trade
came in for consideration at the meet
ing, some of the mills deprecating the
action OF Great Falls parties in keeping
the price to point where dealers were
furnished with -four at price cheaper
than North Dakota millers could pur-
chase the wheat.

Odd Customs Of Siam.

To an European eye the good looks,
Il they anywhere exist, of both men
and women in Siam, are Immediately
DESTROYED by the universal use OF the
betel, which blsckens and corrodes the
teeth, and causes them to protrude,
which renders the spittoon an indIs'
pensable article of furniture, and is
responsible for the great splashes OF
red saliva that may beseen eyerywhere
adorning the ground, as they have
been elected from the mouths OF the
passers-by. Like their fellows In An
nam, the Siamese women enjoy great
freedom and influence. Being OF
most mercantile and managing Sem-
permanent, they become the self-cons.i.
tuted stewardesses, treasurers and
hucksters OF the home or shop or store.
They may be seen by the hundred go
inc to market, each seated alone IN
her own canoe with her wares spread
out before her. ) The last King kept
body-guard of Amszons, with red coats
and trousers and small carblnes; but
the present sovereign, has converted
them into species OF interior palace
police.
The National character is docile. i,
dolent, light-hearted, gay. The Siam
ese are devoted to the holiday-mskina
and ceremonies and professions which
vccompany the most important ami.
aersaries or incidents of life, death and
religion, and which cause an Infinite
amount of money to be squandered
and time lost. Theylove games; kite
flying, sort of shuttlecock football,
and fighting with cocks, crickets, bee
Ties and fish; though it is to be sur
missed that the main attraction OF these
pursuits consists in the scope thereby
afforded for betting and gambling,
which are the cardinal National vices.
A Siamese will stake money on any
thing; licensed gambling-houses exist
in the cities, and are large source OF
income to the Government, who farm
out the monopoly; a royal lottery IS
extensively patronized in Bangkok.
The gambling-houses and the pawn.
shops, which are their corollary, and
which are stocked with objects pswned
Or stolen, are disgrace to the capital.
In some streets every other house is
kept by Chinaman. It
of these places were found
at least a great reduction IN
their numbers might be made, while q
substantial revenue would accrue to
the Crown by the imposition upon them
Of heavy tax.-Fortnightly Review.

Interesting Aztec Ruins.

L. J. Court, an old-time prSspectoh
has just made three months sojourn
in one Of the most interesting and least
known portions Of tho territory. The
wonderland from which he has re-
turned is the country lying between the
Mazatlan and Verde ranges Of noun
tains.
Mr.. Court thinks that section con-
tains more Aztec ruins than any other
portion Of America, evidences Of hu-
man habitation being found from the
highest peak to the lowest valleys. In
one place he found q road or street
three miles In length, perfectly smooth
and straight and sixty feet in width.
On either side Of the street the entire
distance, are ruins The road was evl-
dently built prior to some mighty earth
quake, as it ends abruptly ct the brink
Of q yawning chasul.
he dug up and found lying about q
great number Of skeletons, which were
in a fair state Of preservation, the heads
Of all being alike, very large over the
eyes and receding and almost fiat to-
ward the back Of the bead, jaws well
developed but front upper and lower
teeth small ard sharp. The ruins show
the people to have been workers In
stone, some fragments Of work in tur-
ouoise being found. Every available
foot Of land had once been cultivated.
Tie region, although little has hereto
fore been known about 1t, is very ac-
cessible and will, no doubt. become an
Interesting resort for travellers.

MONTANA'S PAINT MINE.

Four Colors In Which the Indians
Used to Dress Themselves for War.
It Is not generally known that We
nave in this locality, very near the
"Geyser," a paint mine. We might say
1t was q quarry, there Is so much Of it.
One Of our enterprising citizens Mr..
Joseph Blessing, recently took wagon
and shovel and loaded up with two
colors there are three or four colors to
be ha0 and brought it home, pounded
it up with an old hammer, mixed 1t up
with linseed oil, and put it on his picket
fence. He now has one Of the hand
soonest fences in the State-the upper
part Of a rich old gold and the lower 9
beautiful maroon.
The mine seems to be simply mex
haustible. This mine and the "Gey-
SER" which is near 1t, were discovered,
or. rather, located, about eighteen
years ago by that veteran old-imer
and prince Of good fellows, Naylor
Thompson, whom everybody knows
and likes. It was shown to him in the
first place by a friendly Indian chief,
who took q liking to Naylor and as
sured him Naylor) that it was the
source Of supply for all the Indians
west Of the Mississippi River and has
been for centuries.
Those were the days when Naylor
could draw his chair up to table and
sit down without knocking the table
over-he was very active. Well, the
Indians came thousands Of miles for
this paint and used it to decorate their
persons when on the warpath; trails
led from the mine to all directions,
showing that it had been natural cen
ter Of meeting for the red men, just
the same as the well-known pipestone
quarry Of Southwestern Minnesota.
Naylor never made any use Of the
paint; he was in the habit Of reaching
q high state Of exhilaration at times,
when he would mount his bronco and
let out few yells and 80 outsfor some
fun-and then woe to the tenderfoot or
any one else who got In his way. At
such times he was In for fun and moth
ing else, and gatling gun would not
make him change his mind when his
neck was bowed. He would then paint
the town IN lurid colors, but he did not
use any paint from the mine-that was
all long ago. He still retains his inter-
est in the mine, and claims he can fur
nish paint In four colors By the train
load sufficient to paint all creation II
any one doubts Naylor would like to
see him. 1t Is a big mine.-Townsend

Bismarck at Home.

After coffee and cigars had beer
passed, Bismarck's long pipe, with it.
china bowl decorated with the family
coat of arms, was brought to him ano
lighted. A small table at his side held
tray with long queer matches, d
small rod, end other pipe appur'
tenances, all of which were from time
to time used. Never had seen the
process of smoking require to be
helped along so often for, during anil
mated conversation, the pipe was for
gotten and allowed to go out. In this
need, as in every other, Twas impressed
with the alertness of the attendants.
Proud were they Of their master, and
tenderly watchful of his wishes and
physical infrmities. -:
And here another picture. Bis

putting at his long pipe-that his
toric pipe, in the cloud-smoke Of
which the Germany Of to-day first
took shape-his face animated, strong
and ever-changing, the two dogs now
stretched in front at full length, with
their big heads crossed over their
masters feet. sThis one was gift to
me from the young Emperor" said
Bismarck, pointing to the larger OF
the two.
Talk turned upon the afectionate
ness and faithfulness of dogs, and some
one asked how the unmerited ex'
preston, 'sgcne to the dogs" had
ever originated. Bismarck said:
s'The meaning of that saying has be-
come entirely perverted. In olden
times, when pack of hounds was
necessity, not luxury, on every
country estate, horses and cattle.
when they had outlived their useful.
ness, were slaughtered and given to
the dogs for food. This is what was
originally meant by gone to the
dogs"
Conversation next turned upon
America, and Bismarck asked much
about his old friend Carl Schurz. ''1n
1885," he said, 81 anticipated quite
as little as did Schurz what the future
had in store for me. My highest
ambition was to become good
farmer, and to be able, eventually. to

Peace, but the only chance I had to
obtain it was cut of''-with smile at
the Princess-"by my not succeeding
in marrying the girl who could have
helped me attain it."

che Princess's laughing rejoinder.
And the better for US all, thought I;

ample of happy marriage has this
historic home presented to the world

An Imitation Marble.

One of the most recent novelties in
artificial stone is the manufacture OF
marble from chalk, whereby effects are
produced which are hardly distinguish
able from those of the natural material.
The chalk, which is very porous, is
placed in bath of some mineral oxide,
which percolates through 1t and gives
it color. It is the same process that
nature employs, to which the various
colorations of marbles are due. The
slab of chalk is then placed in bath
Of liquid silicate, which permeates it
in all it's parts and cements its parti-
.les together. The result is q stone
having the hardness, temperature and
The "ring" of real marble. It is capa-
bic of receiving most exquisite pol.
ish
Many artificial marbles are now be-
ing manufactured, and find a ready
vale, owing to the high cost of quar-
,ying and working the natural ma
,erial. However, there is no danger
that they will ever drive the real STUFF
out of the market, They are of no use
:or statuary or for certain other pur-
poses. The chalk process will not
yield slabs more than six inches thick.

FlintS.

Probably few people are aware than
there still exists in England a manu-
factory Of gun and tinder-box fiints,
vet such Is the case. The same meth.
DDS are employed in the mining and
fashioning Of fiints as in the stone age
with little alteration. In order to break
flint into pieces Of convenient size, the
worker places themass on his knee, and,
by q dexterous blow with hammer
shivers it into fragments as easily az
If it were chocolate. The pieces are
then split into flakes, and these, in
turn, are fractured into little squares
which, with very slight trimming, be-
come finished gun-fints. Most Of the
gun dints are exported to Zanzibar and
other ports in communication with the
interior Of Africa; but, besides these,
large quantities Of fints for tinder-
boxes are still made at Brandon. Tin
der-box 1ints chiefly so to Spain am
rtnly for use in isolated districts.
