The Kind of Cows to Keep.

A few years of grading up by means of using thoroughbred male will give any farmer herd of cows which will be a great improvement upon those of their mothers and. grahdmotlers. It is well to test COWS and know just what they are doing. The churn is perhaps the most satisfactory way of doing this Keep a cows milk separate for one or more days, being careful to get out all the cream. When it is sour, churn it. The scales will tell, both with milk and butter, whether COW is kept at a profit or not. Remember that it costs at least S35 to keep a COW for year If she does not return this in milk and butter she is kept at . loss. If all such cows were discovered and slaughtered, the number of cows at the present time would be considerably reduced, and at great benefit to their owners Hardly one man in twenty knows whether he is keeping his cows at q profit or a loss. They think it is too much bother to find out. They do not realize the importance of the subject. It means dollars and cents, but they do not realize it, and go on wondering where the profit goes.-Colman's Rural World.

MASSAGE FOR BLACK EYES.
Better Than Paint and Beefsteak for Ob-

ltteratfng Evidence of F1stic EncouDter.
 Those who make business of oblit- erating evidence of fstic encounters in the shape of black eyes by painting the damaged optics no longer enjoy a mon- opoly of such business. This I was told by pugilistic acquaintance whose experience entities him to be regarded as an authority on the subject, says a writer in the New York Herald.
 "'Massage treatment of the region af- fected, he said, twill beat paint and raw beefsteak all hollow. But it should be applied immediately after the in jury is received in order to prove thoroughly efficacious. It does not re- quire an expert to do it. All that is necessary is to move the fingers rapidly and firmly over the bruised surface, and to keep it up until the last vestige of discoloration has disappeared. The explanation is easy. Where the blow has been received the blood becomes congested. It is the clots of blood showing through the transparent skin that produces the black effect. The pressure of the fingers gradually loosens the clotted blood, which passes off into the general current of circula-

THE UNFORTUNATES.
Coroner's Inquests of the Remains of Shelf
fer aud Ke ly-Mr. Bennetts Funeral

An inquest was held at the Butte
undertaking rooms yesterday forenoon
before Coroner Richards on the body
to Jacob ID. Shelter. who was killed
in the Specie mine near old Silver Bow
Saturday by a falling bucket. The evil
dence corresponded with the account
of the accident as already published
in the Standard. 1t was shown that
both the dead man and his partners
knew the rope which broke to be un-
safe, and that they had been talking
of replacing II for some time The rope
was a three -eig'hths wire cable and had
been in use three or four years and
continually exposed. A verdict was
returned in accordance with the facts.
Shelter will be buried at 2 o'clock this
afternoon from the Butte undertaking
rooms. where services will be con-
Quoted.
An inquest was also held last even
ing on the body of Matt Kelly, who fell
into an ore chute at the Mountain Con.
mine Saturday morning, sustaining in
Juries from which he died a few hours
later. The testimony showed that
Kelly was working on the seventh
floor of the 500-foot level with ]. j.
Conners. He left his partner while he
was cleaning out some holes and went
vack into the drift about $50 feet for a
chew of tobacco. On the way back he
fell into the ore chute, falling into a
hole about 10 inches wide and four
feet long. where one of the timbers had
been raised. The floor was clean and
lights were burning all around the
chute. Deputy State Mine Inspector
Miles testified that the mine was in
perfect condition with every precau-
tion for safety. 1t was the belief of the
witnesses that Kelly accidentally
stumled into the hole. A verdict of
accidental death was returned.

EMIR OF BOkHARA.
Bews Gracefully to the Will of the Rus
sian Government.

B.ws Gracefully to the Will of the Rus
sian Government.
Che emir of Bokhara is one of the
most cautious and calculating of orien-
tails, who knows how to bow gracefully
to the inevitable and to take credit to
himself for not battering his own VEN
cradle head against a granite wall.
remember striking incident that char
acterizes his practical philosophy and
his inborn sagacity.
Some time ago the finance minister,
M. Witte, determined to erect a custom
house in Bokhara, and to levy duties ON
all products and manufactures entering
into the country. 1t was generally be-
lieved that this innovation would dis
please the emir, who enormously sup
posed that the proceeds of the customs
would go to fill the Russian exchequer.
The finance minister, therefore, called
upon him with a number of statistical
documents and official returns, care
full study of which would, he thought,
convince the emir of the advantages of
the measure, but that careful study
never took place. The minister began
the conversation by asking whether ne
was aware of the nature of the proposed
change. The emir said he was. "It is
in your own interest" remarked the
finance minister, ''as you can convince
yourself from these documents" But
the oriental prince merely asked: "Is
this being done with the knowledge and
consent of his majesty the ezar?" "Un-
doubtedly it Is" replied M. Witte.
''Then his maiesty's will be done," ex-
claimed the Asiatic potentate, and the
conference came to a sudden and salts
factory end.
The emir has made strenuous and
persevering efforts to introduce Russian
civilization into his domains, and it
cannot be gainsaid that in this respect
his subjects of to-day compare most IA
vorably with their barbaric fathers.
This is one of the reasons why he is
liked and honored in Russia. He is
very wealthy man, with simple tastes
and a passionate love of that species of
shopping which in England is reserved
for the ladies. His food differs in no
wise from that of his suite, and one Of
the ever-recurring dishes consists of
cake fried in the fat of rams, and known
in the vernacular as parvanitshi, which
would give Pantagruel himself a fit of
indigestion. The emir knows the cost
of every quality of silk, calico, chintz
and cotton stuff in every city of Russia.
and he haggles for long time over
farthing in the price of the yard. He
never visits that country without pur-
chasing large quantities of these stuffs,
which he, in his capacity as monarch,
can take home duty free. Then he sells
them at considerable profit to his na-
tive merchants, who enjoy no such priv
ileges. No man is more careful OF his
money than the prince of Bokhara, and
yet on occasion he can be as generous as
the most igal.-London Telegraph.
