sediment or settling indicates diseased con-
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in The back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort IN the knowledge so often
expressed, that DR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney remedy, fulflls every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary pas
sages. It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get lp many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its wonder
full cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents and

VENUS OF MILO.
Buried In an Oak Conn, During the
FrAnco-Prussiau War.

Buried In an Oak Conn During the
Franco-Prussian War.
The recent death of VI. Henri Brest,
whose name was celebrated many years
ago in connection with the statue OF
Venus, now one of the great treasures
in the Louvre museum. brings to mind
some interesting souvenirs connected
with that statue. 1t was. indeed. NJ.
Henri Brest who discovered the wonder
full statue which had been unearthed
by a peasant in the island of Milo and
who bought il of him for a mere song
in 1870. He soon sold il to NJ. de Mar
cellus, through whom it reached the
Louvre. The wonderful statue re-
manned undisturbed in the gallery OF
the Louvre. of which il was the prin-
cipal ornament, till the Franco-Prus-
sian war, in 1870. when the means of
preserving il against the possible pill
lage of the Germans caused great anxi-
ETY. to the curators. Few Englishmen
are probably aware that the Venus de
Milo was on that occasion placed in an
immense sort of padded oak coffin and
buried mysteriously in a great trench
made to receive it in the courtyard
of the prefecture of police. This
was done in the middle of the
night, in the presence of very few
witnesses, with the object of keeping
the hiding place of the statue perfectly
secret. 1t was thought by the officials
of the Louvre that the statue was in
perfect safety there; but rheir anxiety
for the fate of the treasure was revived.
after the signature of peace, by the
outbreak of the commune and the set
ting fire to the prefecture of police and
to the Palais de Justice opposite.
Fortunately. however, when that insur-
rection had been put down the curators
of the Louvre, on once more unearth-
ing the statue, found it had suffered no
deterioration. The inscription on the
pedestal of the statue in the Louvre
does not even mention the name of NJ.
Henri Rrest. It relates simply that it
was bought by NJ. de Marcellus for
Marquis. de Riviere, the French ambas-
sador. who presented it to King Louis
XVIII. in 1s21.-Chicago News.

Washington special: "Of course
we have been having hard times"
says Senator Davis, land times are
very hard yet. But the people are
not so hard up az they were during
the three years preceding the civil
war. In the northwest, particu-
larly, the older inhabitants remsm-
ber with shudders the panic of 80,
and the suffering which it brought.
"In those days money was not
only scarce, but there was no money
to be had. Saw logs were legel
tender, and i'm fact, everything that
possessed any sort OF value passed
as token money. When a man killed
a deer or IA muskrat or any other
kind of game he could take the hide
to u general store and get clothing
or food in exchange for IL; but no
money was passed over the counter
because there was no money i'm the
country
up in northern Wisconsin copper
was mined, and copper cents were
issued by private individuals The
general store keepers issued their
own scrip and it passed for money.
i have seen a 10-cent postage stamp,
encased in mica, passing for money
many a time We had every kind oi
token money except wampum; we
didn't get quite that far back to the
primitive medium and method OF ex.
change. But the people who ART
talking now about the scarcity ol
money ought to have had some such
Experience. 1t is rather hard to en-
dure, of course, and would't want
tn go through it again; but 1t is N
educational experience of value.

Had business conditions been as
they were for IA number OF years pre-
ceding 1893, 1t 10 not an exaggeration
to say the total production of the
mines and ranges of the state would
have been 100000, 900. In the esti-
mate of the value of the silver out
put. it is placed at 50 cents an ounce.
With silver at 4 dollar an ounce, the
product would have been worth six
teen millions, and in addition to
that, a great dsal more would have
been mined. The silver product
simply represents the output of two
silver mines, and that which was
taken out in the mining of other
ores. The same holds good as to
the lead.
In the stock product there was a
drop of $2 head in the price of cat
ness situation of the whole country
while the returns from the sheep in
dustry would have been double un-
der iayoI able general business condi-
tions.
Montana farms and orchards pro-
duced in 1896 fruits and staple prod
ucts of the farm to the value of
several millions. Had adjoining
states not had abundant crops OF
feed for their live stock, Montana
would have been able to supply them
with a large quantity. AS 1t is, her
granaries are running over, and she
has an abundance of hay to see her
through the winter, and will have a
surplus on hand in the spring, SO
that she will not be compelled to
import grain or hay, as has been the
case in many previous years.

A Vegetable Piaf0l.

But the most remarkable instance OF
scattering the seeds shooting them
from the pod) is afforded by Hura
crepitaps, a handsome tree, native of
the forests of South America. The Gu
rious fruit of this tree is somewhat
fattened, deeply furrowed or futed
body, made up of a circle of many cells,
each containing one seed. When the
seeds are ripe the cells open. and expel
them with n loud report. like the crack
of a pistol. Hence the fruit is some
times called the monkeys dinner
bell"
Stories have been told of Hura fruits
being placed in desks and subsequently
opening. and discharging their seeds
with slich violence as to break ink
wells, and even to crack the wood of the
desk.-Thomas II. Kearney, Jr., i'm St.

ture appeared in the papers lately.
members of the union here thought
they recognized him and have since
confirmed this by correspondence.
Those who became acquainted with
him while here saw that he was
a man of intelligence and freely
talked of the hope of the Cuban
patriots. He il a graduate OF a
Spaniard military academy and held
commission i'm the Cuban army
during the 10 years war. 1t is
known that from Helena Rivera went
to great Falls and other places in the
northwest and then to New Orleans
and from there i'm the autumn it il
supposed he left for Cuba
As stated in the above dispatch
Rivera came to Great Falls, arriving
in November, 1895.
He was a man Of good address and
became acquainted and was an inter

a familiarity with the situation in
Cuba and the condition of Spain.
He was all enthusiast In behalf Ol

suit Of Ills Interview with President

ternatiOnal conference to secure the
rees establishment of bimetallism WAS
i'm session for two hours today and,
when it adjourned, had agreed
upon bill to he presented tn the
Republican caucus which will he
held soon after the assembling OF
congress next Tuesday. The bill
agreed upon il brief and merely con-
fers upon the president the right to
appoint delegates ''tO any conference
which has for it's object the re-cstab-
Iishment of bimetallism." 1t does
not distribute the selection of dele
gates as did the legislation of the
Fifty-third congress and moreover
leaves the number to be selected en-
tirely to discretion Of the president.
Senator WOlcott gave the commit
tee full account of his conference
with Presi,lent-elect Mckinley. from
which he had just returned. assuring
them Of Mckinley's hearty inter-
est i'm the committees proceed
ings and his earnest desire to do all
in his power to carry into execution
the promises of the st. Louis conven-
ton to secure International bimetal-
lism, If possible. 1t was announced
after the close of the conference today
that the committee would press for
an early consideration of it's bill with
the hope of securing all legislation
needed at this session, sd that Nc
Kinley could take whatever steps he
might deem proper to carry it into
effect Immediately upon entering
upon his duties and intimated that
he was anxious to have a conference
and have it under way by the time
the tariff should be up for cOnsidera-
tion. 1t was also stated by members
of the committee that they were very
hopeful of securing a conference and
also that they were by no means
hopeless as to the results of such a
conference when once secured. All
the members of the committee were
present at the conference except Sen.

Famine Bread.

In times of famine bread has been
baked from wood bran and husis of
corn. The woodbread is made by select
ing the sawdust of the least resinous
wood-the bFeech, for example-and
washing il with water to remove any
soluble matter. 1t is then dried in an
oven and reduced to fine powder. With
the addition of little flour. some yeast
and water, it forms a dough which. when
baked, constitutes bread resembling in

Montana Is not, so far as her
population goes, a very big state.
and 1896 was not a prosperous year,
but ii is doubtful II any state in the
union, in proportion to population,
large or small, can show as great a
total Of wealth produced in the year
as can the Treasure state. From
two of her industries-and they ara,
1t Ia true, her leading epes-mining
and stock growing, she has produced
during 1896 in round numbers 449,-
100000. With a population OF 2OO, 900
souls, men, women and children,
that means a product per capita Of
$249. There is no question about
the correctness of these figures. OF
the fOrty-nine millions the mines pro-
duced $37 800, 900. and the stock in
terests e11, 100000.
The mineral output of the state
was divided up as follows: Copper,

beginning OF married life. The "neces-
saries" OF life are so many and various
| at the present tiine that 1t takes n life
time, not speaking Of exceptional cases
Of success, to procure and secure them.
Another cause is the prevalence of
licensed or tolerated vice in nearly
every center Of civilization. That is
the arch enemy Of honorable and lawful
union of man and woman. What rene
dy the law has against this evil is
not easily perceived. as long as public
conscience is ms blunt as It Is in the
matter. A story is told of the proprie-
tor of department store In one of
cur western states. who engaged young
girls at o salary absolutely impossible
to live on. When demonstrated with his
brutal reply was that II the salary
was not sufficient, she could have
fellows" as other girls have. A girl
in New York, out on the streets. is
reported to have said that she worked
for store at s2.75 week
and had no other resource
than to sell soul and body in
addition to her services In the store
in order to live. what is the use to
demand OF society to remedy the evil
of declining marriage rate as long
as it hypocritically closes Its eyes to
the sources whence It springs? Proper
legislation would aim at the removal
of the causes OF which prostitution is
an effect, and thereby establish more
natural conditions.
