PuSsian Offlcialdom

An amusing yet suggestive instance of
the prevailing corruption among all classes
in Russia is shown in the following story:
One of the largest firms in the English
iron trade contracted for the erection of q
bridge in Russia. The bridge was erected
and official inspection invited, but on one
pretext or other it was put off until it be-
came plain to the English contractors tina
unless they were prepared to bribe the in
spector the bridge would not be taken off
their hands. AS they had cut the contract
very close they could not afford to do SO.
and the official revenged himself by certi-
flying the bridge to be unsafe. 1t had to be
taken to pieces and shipped to England.
The sequel is most suggestive of all. A
new tender "for much larger sum" was
sent in by the same firm. 1t was accepted
The very same bridge that was sent to
Russia and brought back was forwarded
again. re-erected, examined by the same
official, received his approval and was
taken over by the Russian government.
Of course. in their new tender. the firm
left an ample margin, and the official, re-
ceiving substantial Tip" approved of
the same bridge that he had formerly con-
demned.-Pearson's Weekly.

Take Life's Wheels Run Smoothly

Take time; it is no use to foam or fret,
or to do as the angry housewife who has
got hold of the wrong key, pushes, shakes
and rattles it about the lock until both
are broken the door is still unopened.
The chief secret of comfort lies in not
suffering trifles to vex us and in cultivat-
ing our underground of small pleasures.
Try to regard present vexations as you
will regard them in q month hence.
Since we cannot get what we like let us
like what we can get.
1t is not riches, it is not poverty, it is not
human nature that is the trouble.
The world is like looking-gla lass. Laugh
at it and it laughs back; frown at it and it
frowns back.
Angry thoughts canker the mind and
dispose it to the worst temper in the world
that of fixed malice and revenge. It is
while in this temper that some men be-
come criminals.
Show your sense by saying much in a
few words.
Try to speak some kind word or do some
kind deed each day of your life. You will
be amply repaid.

Tax. Care of Your Shoes

Since shoes have assumed SO much I'M
porta ace it is worth while to know how
best to take care of them. First OF all, have
them fit properly, and this means plenty
of length and plenty of room. Small feet
have gone out of fashion, the object now
being to have the feet look slender and
trim. The long, pointed shoe has had much
to do with the cultivation of symmetry
about the feet. A shoe too tight is con-
stant strain upon the leather and tile
seams, and is neither durable nor attract
i've. If the shoes are worn in the wet they
must be removed at once, rubbed dry and
oiled until they are as soft as it is possible
to make 10 make them. If they are wet,
as is sometimes the case when one is caught
in shower, they should be laced or but
toned up and filed with grain. For
lack of something better ordinary wh:te
up very quickly and swell, thereby keeping
the shoe in shape. When nearly dry the
shoes should be taken in hand and oiled
until they are in fine condition. Cloth shoes
should be brushed with great deal OF c are.
Many ladies brush their shoes too much,
thus wearing out the cloth and taking oil
the fine polish of the leather.
A great deal has been said about the adj
vantage of having number OF pair. OF
shoes at one time. As it is we'll under
stood fact that leather becomes somewhat
dry and cracked by age. the philosophy OF
snch practice might we'll be questioned.
1t is fashisnable to have ones shoes
match ones handsome dress; black un-
dressed kid slippers and black satin slip
pers are also stylish. One of the prettiest
is a tie of black satin. These are specially
liked for dressy use in the house. The best
shoes are made with moderately heavy
soles. They may be worn on dry days
without rubbers, but thinner soles are worn
by many wymen who never step on the
street without toe-straps. This is COM
Portable and sensible custom, and does
away with the constant changing of shoes
as one goes in and out. q practice that is
extremely inconvenient, especially to
women who are at all stout, as tine button
ing of ones shoes when dressed in the
average corset is serious undertaking.

Novel Safety IamD.

The new safety lamp for mines, opera.
ting upon peculiar principle, is reported
as being in successful use in Germany.
A popularity of this lamp ia noted-name.
ly, that it is not closed in any special way,
like other lamps, and 1t matters very little
whether or not the workman, disregarding
the regulations of the mine. succeeds in
opening the lamp, for there is a spe cial ar
rangement by means of which the flame s
extinguishable at the same instant. This
is explained by there being in the interior
of the lamp glass a spring which is com.
pressed when the upper piece is screwed
down, which enables q cap to operate upon
the wick in such a manner as to shift it
aside, facilitating the lighting of the lamp
and afterwald the combustion. When the
spring is worked in the contrary direction,
the cap again operates upon the wick, and
the flame ceases the moment the cap
comes in contact with the air. The lamp
can be lighted without being opened.

A man asked for work at the door. The

God bless all the aged women up and

there never happened the least discord be-

are away from them. Find the place for
them in the hymn book. Never be ashamed
of them if they prefer styles of apparel a
little antiquated. Never say anything that
implies that they are in the way. Make
the road for the last mile as smooth as you
can. Oh, you will miss her when she is

back out of sight from the world, feeling
that they have no relation to it.
God fills the earth and heavens with
grandmothers. We must some day go up
and thank these dear old souls. Surely,
God will let us go up and tell them of the
results of their Influence. Among our first
questions in heaven will be, "Where is
grandmother?" They will point her out,

Congressman Economizing

'ThIngs are coming to a pretty pass
these days. observed the keeper of a
Washington boarding house, ''when con-
gressmen are reducing their expenses.
Only few days ago l found that one of
my congressman boarders from a southern
state was looking up rooms and board for
himself and wife in another house, for the
reason, as his wife told me, that they
wanted to reduce expenses. I Icharged them
$50 per month for room and board for
both, and they were actually trying to get
it for $40, though they finally had to pay
$50. The wife told me that they wanted
to save $4,000 per year out of her hus-
bands salary of $4,000, and that she knew
of others who were doing Washing

all times been an answering, able and
fearless advocate of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold on terms of
equality at the mints of the United States

MONTANA REPUBLICANS.

They Keep Together on State Ticket, But
Split on the National.
HELENA, Mon, Sept. 1.-THE after
noon session of the Republican state
convention was most stormy one, and
at one time it looked as though the gold
men would walk out of the hall. Dur
ing speech by Colonel Sanders, the
leader of the gold men, he started to
leave the hall, but was persuaded to re-
main. During his speech, which was
very caustic and sarcastic and was fire.
ouently interrupted with cheers and
misses, the widest confusion prevailed.
The trouble arose over the report OF the
committee on permanent organization.
There was a majority report, signed BY
l8 members Of the committee, and two
minority reports, one signed by 8 and
the other by . members. The majority
report was adopted after several hours
of heated debate. It was on the adop-
tion of this report that the

After the adoption of the majority re-
mort theinext order Of business was the
nomination Of governor. j. r. Rick

ant Governor A. @. Botkin and Colonel

five ballots to elect. Richards led in
the third ballot. Botkin led on the
first. second and fourth and was noml-
mated on the last by a vote OF 2O2 to l7C
for Richards and for Kessler. The
ticket was completed as follows
