"Well, jack" said I, after we came
out, I'm not a matchmaker, but if, as
you say, you always have had a warm
affection for Alice, why don't you begin
again? It isn't too late"
Jack blushed to the roots Of his hair
and said he should never go there after
having been shown the door. I tried to
coax him, but it would not do, yet all
the time I could see he wished to meet
his old flame once more.
Jack and I lived together at the same
hotel and daily I spoke to him of going
to call as a friend. At last the day be-
fore he was to return to New Orleans l
got him down near Meals home. We
passed it six or eight times, and l began
to feel foolish at promenading up and
down the street. Once he stopped in
front Of the gate and he put forth his
hand to open it, but drew back like a
young schoolboy. Then I told him that
I had had enough Of such fooling and
that when we approached again we
would have to 60 in. We came up. l
opened the gate and pushed him forward

We began to chat Of old times, and
shortly Alice came down stairs. She was
the same girl we had known, only ma

before we entered, for she was dressed
in her loveliest. She met Jack not quite
like a sweetheart, but very tenderly.
1t did me good to tell them of Jacks
diffidence and what a hard time I had
to get him to come. They were a little
displeased that he did not come before,
and when we said something about sail
ing Alice exclaimed:
"Sailing! What! Are you going
back?"
YES" returned Jack demurely, Il

Alice hummed to herself a moment,
then going over to him and taking his

Fare to a Star.

Besides being a great astronomer, Sir
Robert Ball is a man of figures. He tells
US what it would cost to reach one of
the most distant stars, supposing a rail
way were constructed to it from London
and that the low rate Of l penny per 100
miles prevailed. If the intending pas
senger could present to the booking clerk
the whole of the national debt Of the
United Kingdom-a sum exceeding

huge carts to convey it in sovereigns to
the ticket office. Even when the poor
clerk had accomplished the lengthy task

Future Of tho Microscope.

As the physicians assistant and guide
In diagnosis, the microscope is coming
rapidly to the front. 1t is now the Gus
tom with some advanced physicians
whenever there is a case with obscure
symptoms, or where consultations are
thought necessary. to draw a few drops
of the patients blood and examine it
under the microscope. This almost in
variably decides the condition and is,
in many diseases, an infallible guide,
as the blood is the great sewerage sys-
tenn of humanity. 1t takes up and car
ries to the lungs whatever impurities
may exist. There they are consumed or
exhaled. It therefore stands to reaso
that the blood is the index to the state
Of the system.
Another test adopted by all up to date
doctors is the examination Of the per-
spiration after a great degree Of heat
has been applied to the body. The suf-
ferer is put into a steam box, and after
some moments Of profuse perspiration
the surface Of the body is scraped with
o sharp steel instrument, by means of
which whatever impurities are thrown
out may be taken from the pores. This,
with the blood examination, is thought
by some practitioners to afford all of
the assistance necessary in determining
the nature of the most obscure diseases.
OF course, there are what may be called
new diseases, and this method will en-
able the skilled microscopic to detect
them and study their genesis and treat
ment. New York Ledger.

has been a good demand, especially for
wire bars, at these prices. The price of
casting copper must be reduced to
9.30@9.35. On the whole business for
manufactured copper appears to be
somewhat better, and manufacturers
reported to be busy.

The Journals Boston correspondence
says:
There has been no special feature to
market for coppers the past week, ex-
cept in Boston & Montana, in which
rumors that the expected dividend due
next month might be delayed caused a
desire on the part of timid holders to
sell, resulting in a decline from s37 in

Great Falls Woman Relief Corps Favor
Them.
The idea Of having our national tlae
displayed over our public schools is Of
comparatively recent origin, but it is one
so highly proper in itself that it will soor
be used by every school in the republic
The school will thus become the center
for the cultivation of patriotic emotion
The love for the flag as the emblem OF
our liberty and power will be cultivated
in early childhood and become inter.
twined in every fiber of adult manhood
The flag and the old school house will
be remembered among the sweetest
recollections of childhood, and the love
of the starry emblem, the most vigorous
emotion of we'll developed manhood.
The Woman's Relief corpe. department
of Montana, has taken this matter we'll
in land, and the Woman's Relief corps
of Great Falls has shown their patriotic
devotion by their epdeavors to have the
flag drill adopted in the schools here,
knowing we'll that unpatriotic motives,
avarice and greed, seltishness one to the
other, have been the rack and ruin of all
civilized nations known to the world.
County Superintendent Swan, Prof.
Largent and the many teachers in the
public schools here are in hearty accord
with the movement, and the proper
steps have already been taken to accom-
plish this end.
Let tho good work go on. endeavor to
ever keep sacred in the minds of our
girls aud boys the loyal teachings Of
Washington, Lincoln and jackson.
