A. w. Noyes Reviews the Situation In
Great Falls.

Great Falls, July 2.-During the first
of the week A. w. Noyes. the editor
and publisher of the Neihart Miner,
visited this city, and on his return to

view of the situation, financial and po-
litical in Great Falls:

Sunday. Great Falls is a little larger
than Neihart and her prosperousness is
very much greater. The newspapers

a responsible party hat there was work
of some sort for every man that want

LESSONS have an overplus of men the
common laborer is in demand at wages
averaging higher than for some time.
There are many movements on foot for
the betterment of the town and enter

work to many men and the monthly pay
roll insures a permanent and steady in

LONDON GAME SHOPS. +,
Englishmen May Have Their Cnoice
from the Best of Wild Fowl
That Flies.

To the naturalist, and in some cases
to the gastronomist, the wild fowl IN
the London shops are even more inter
esting than the game. The first rush
of the duck, teal and widgeon finds its
way to the market at about the end
of the first week in October, and from
that time till December these three
"standard ducks" for the table form
the main part of the supply. Their
numbers are supplied equally by Eng
land and Holland, though it is noted
that the Dutch ducks are nearly all
mallards, not more than 10 in 100 be-
ing females. In one large dealers shop
in Leadenhail market the writer saw
a mountain of 1900 wild duck, teal
and widgeon, all freshly killed, which
arrived from Rotterdam on the morn
ing of November IA.
Some duck come from France to LON
don. This was shown by a curious
piece of circumstantial evidence. In
the inland lagoons and lakes in the
Landes, near Bordeaux, ducks are reg
ularly shot by means of decoys. Tubs
are sunk in the water for the gunner
to stand in, sometimes backed by a
subsidiary tub to hold his water poodle,
and the decoy ducks are fastened to
strings some six yards apart. The gun
is carefully laid so as to shoot down
the lane between the rows of decoys,
and the gunner waits until enough wild
birds are collected and then let's fly.
The decoy ducks are cross between
the wild mallard and the white tame
ducks, partly that they may be dis
tinguished by their color. One of these
French "decoy ducks" was included in
batch of foreign wild fowl on sale
in game shop in October. 1t had APP
parently been taken in real "decoy"
with others, as it's neck was broken, and
it was not shot.
In December the 'fancy ducks" and
wild brent geese appear. The brent is
a small black-necked goose, of quiet
and elegant plumage. When plucked it
is not much larger than tame duck
Last year they were early on the mar
ket, and few bernicle geese, another
black and white sea goose, also ap-
peared. The usual price asked for a
brent goose is two shillings six pence
but little bargaining reduces him to
two shillings, as there is little demand
for any out-of-the-way fowl. Birds OF
the year bred in the arctic circle and
fed later on sea grass round our coasts
are excellent. They may be eaten with
in three or four days of being shot. The
breast is as good as that of wild duck,
though the legs are apt to have slight
ly fshy flavor. The pochard, red
headed duck, almost as large as NAL
lard, is not common, but when it can
be had is better even than teal.lCorn-

What Mohair and Alpaca Are.

Mohair is the fleece of the Angora
goat, grown in the orient and at the
Cape, and is the most lustrous fiber
known. In it's natural state it is white.
and can consequently be dyed to any
color. Alpaca is the fleece of the animal
of that name, also of the goat family
(llama is a near relation), and is grown
in South America. In it's natural state
it is black, brown or piebald, with very
small proportion of white. Consequent
~ it can only be dyed darker color,
generally black. Whenever, therefore.
you see luster dress which is lighter
than dark gray, you may be sure it is

sparkle which is something like that

Alpaca, being somewhat finer and soft

Innings, but it is also made into dress
goods in it's natural gray. 1t was in

was taken up by within of fashion for
dresses and had a great run 80 years
ago. Its popularity gave the name of
alpaca in a rough and ready way to all

are made from mohair, and many of

"THEATER SICKNESS"
New Disease Discovered by French,
Physician.

New Disease Discovered by French
Physician.
''Theater sickness" is the name of the
new disease recently discovered by the
eminent French physician, DIR. Morti-
cole, which is at present topic of a
good deal of discussion in scientific and
lay circles in Paris. The doctor declares
that "theater sickness and sea sickness
resemble one another, take their vic
Tins entirely unawares, and prey espe-
cially on women. The symptoms con-
sist of giddiness, loss of consciousness,
deep faint, and in perverse cases the
malady causes death. 1t seizes victim
after he has gazed long at the stage, and
more commonly in tragedy than in
comedy, and, in brief, it constitutes a
species of asphyxia. When men feel
'theater sickness" coming ON they be-
come, according to DR.. Morticole, obliv-
ious to all considerations of locality and
put their heads between their knees,
while women feel an inclination to re-
cline with their feet at an acute angle
above their heads, so excessive is the
vertigo. Fortunately, cases of "theater
sickness" are as yet the exception
rather than the rule. A theater where
all the mems heads would be bowed
down between their knees, and where
all the women were to have their feet
in the air, would furnish strange mix

CANADA'S POPULATION.
The Majority in Her House Of Com
mons Moving from the East
to the West.

The shifting of the majority of the
Dominion house of commons from the
eastern to the western portion of
Canada, which has been going on slow
ly since the union of the provinces, is
likely to be greatly accelerated now
In the first parliament after the union
there were only 50 members for all of
Canada west of the Ottawa, and 80 for
the portion east of the Ottawa river
In the present house there are 1O4 mem
bers from the east and 100 from the
west. The expectation among those
who watch the drift of population is
that the redistribution of the parlia-
mentary representation, following upon
the census of 1901, will add materially
not only to the western contingent at
the expense of the east, but also to the
total number of the vests representa-
tives.
The province of Quebec is holding it's
population much better than during
the last census period. This means that
there will be several thousands more
of population to each of the 65 members
to whom she is entitled. AS a result
the population unit, per member, in the
other provinces must be increased also.
In the maritime provinces, where the
natural increase of population still
drifts largely to the western portion of
the Dominion, or to the United States,
a reduction in the representation will
be inevitable. The increase of popula-
ton in the west will more than maxi
up for this shrinkage. Unless western
prophets are entirely too sanguir
there will be population of at lee
100000 between Lake Superior and
Pacific by the end of the century. Tt

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TREE.
A Man of Family Pride Who Met with
n Surprise.


A Washington man who prides, him
self upon his family connections is just
recovering from an attack of nervous
prostratior, says the Star. This man
lately became possessed of the idea of
constructing a family tree, feeling as
sured he could produce a growth that
would dwarf the giants of the Califor-
mia forests into insignifcance. He be-
gan on one branch of his family, and
soon struck Miles Standish, from whom
he ran various shoots and offshoots,
with many feeling of pride. With re-
newed interest he went to work on an
other branch of his growing tree, and
had gone back but four generations
when he was amazed to strike great
grandfather who had died from stran-
gulation brought on by rope en-
circling his throat, his death occurring
in the presence of large gathering of
curious people, who had tai en- a day off
during harvest time in order to see the
hanging. BY this time the man of fam
lily pride had become intensely disgust
ed with genealogical investigations, but
all that his friends knew of his disap-
pointment was the fact that he re-
NAMED away from the busy haunts of
his fellows for several weeks, and the
family physician gave out the informa-
ton that he was the victim of a severe
case OF nervous prostration.

In money matters coster will speak

The Hermits Who Live In the Big Down.
Town Office Buildings.
The hotel hermits are more widely
known than the hermits of the big
office buildings, but the latter come in
for a good deal of comment in desul-
tory way, and are apparently proud of
their seclusion. There are men in the
big hotels, says the New York Sun, who
boast of not having wandered more
than two or three blocks from the
building in years. Other hotel hermits
go to their Offices every morning, re-
turn at a certain time in the after
noon, and then remain steadfastly in
doors until the following day. They
are intimately acquainted with all
the goings on in the big hostelry
which serves them as home, and
have an active interest in it's various
departments. The hermits of the Of
flee buildings sometimes sleep in them,
but as rule they have lodgings some
where in the lower part of the town,
where they put in eight or ten hours
out of the twenty-four. But at all
other hours they are to be found in the
big building which serves them as AN
Office, and practically as home.
A great number of men go to the
Equitable building at half-past seven
o'clock in the morning, attend to their
Office duties, eat breakfast, luncheon
and dinner at the restaurant, get
shaved and have their boots polished
in the building, and remain there un-
til ten or eleven o'clock every night.
After time the place gets to be sort
of home to them, and what would
seem to be hardship to other men
really becomes, through habit, asecond
