A fire in Deer Lodge is some thing out
of the usual order of things, but at an
early hour this morning our citizens
We're awakened from their peaceful slum-
bers, by the fire bell. The fire depart
ment, one of the best and most efficient
in the state, was quick to respond, maxi
ing their coupling at a hydrant near the
depot in order to cover the premises Of
Madame Hartley, whose house has been
one of the public places in the tenderloin
district, for more than twenty years. The
house was found to- be on fire in five diff
ferent places, but owing to the house be-
ing closed, no d~raught being available,
and the promptness of the fire DEPART
ment, little Roadway was made and but
little damage was lone. The furniture
and walls of the palace constitute the
damage. There is considerable comment
as to the origin of the fire, but there is
only one decision and hat is, that it was
set on tire-by whom remains to be de-
termined. We are informed that the
property is insured for 1000, through
an agency represented by J. II. Meyers,
and that gentleman has notified the ad-
~justels of the companies interested to

your correspondent can learn, Madame

A Gravy Bath for a Boor.

During the excitement of the recent South African elections two Dutchmen at boarding house dinner table were eufogizing the superior virtues of their race as opposed to the English. Pres- ently Queen Victoria was mentioned, when one exclaimed, 'D-n Victoria. " With that the Englishman who sat next to the offending Dutchman threw the whole contents of his plate on his head-meat, potatoes, cabbage and gravy. Every other boarder threw at him the article nearest at hand-haf a loaf of bread, hot potato, or a jug o1 water-until the poor victim cried for mercy, which was granted him after withdrawing his words and making 8 suitable apology.

Gold Coins in the World,

It will probably be shock to many to learn that all the gold coins cur rent throughout the world could be comfortably slowed away in any one of thousands of English drawing rooms.
 A careful estimate of the gold cur rency of the world places it's amount at e755 ,00O 900. Althought this enor- nous sum will probably exceed our entire national revenue for the next seven years, it could, if converted into English sovereigns, be placed in a room SS feet long, 30 wide and 20 feet high.

WAYS OF CANTON PIRATES
In China Their Business Is Neither Hard
 Nor Dangerous,

~HS@ 1&uS4r0uss
 Probably never since Canton was open to foreign trade, says Mir. Consul Brenan in his report On the trade of the city, has piracy been so rife as during last year. The boldness of the pirate is, however, surpassed by the apathy of the provincial Government Perhaps the word piracy is scarcely applicable to the acts of these adyen- turous robbers. They have no armed craft of their own with which to give chase and run down thir victims. The usual plan is for band of half a dozen men to go on board a passenger launch disguised as honest men. When a suitable spot is reached they throw off all disguise, overawe the crew and passengers by fiourishing revol- vers, and then half the party stand by ready to shoot while the rest pro- ceed to search the passengers and their luggage; and when they have taken all they want they transfer themselves to another boat or land near friendly village, where a division of the spoil takes place. They are not devoid of a certain chivalrous feeling. Cases have been known where, after having robbed some rich passengers and made a good haul, they have restored to the poorer passengers what had already been taken from them On other oc- casions they have overpowered the master and crew of launch and "bor- rowed" the use of the vessel for a few hours, during which they have over hauled junk known to have yalua- bles on board. Having pillaged the junk they have steamed away to their own village, and before landing they have offered to pay the master for the time his launch has been detained. The owners of passenger boats are now given to engaging some old pirate as a detective. He points out suspicious looking characters whom it is better not to take on board, and keeps i9 check any of his own friends who may have been premeditating a coup. "St. James Budget"

Theories OF Dreams.

There is no modern theory about
dreams, said a New Orleans phyu-
clan, "or, rather, there are FIVE or six.
and they differ 20 radically both in
premises and conclusions as TO leave
the subject more Of mystery than
ever. 1t is undeniabfe, however,
that the psychologists have collected
an immense amount of valuable data,
which, Of course, is the first step to-
ward arriving at a solution. Many Of
the things they have noted are remark
able, and find several enumerated in
the last issue Of a French medical
monthly. 1t is said. for instance, that
one can dream of any given object by
thinking about it intently for four or
FIVE hours before retiring, and then
dismissing it from the mind. 1t should
be something unusual or fantastic.
Things dwelt upon just before going
to sleep are rarely dreamed about.
Another curious statement was that
the familiar dream Of falling can gen.
orally be induced by tying "a bandker-
chief tightly around the forearm and
leaving it on when one goes to bed.
1t was also noted that bright colors
are rarely seen in dreams. They are
almost invariably dull, neutral tones
and hardly ever remembered. We
can recall dreaming Of house, for ex-
ample, and describe its architecture
exactly, but we are seldom able 10 tell
what color it was. The only hues re-
membered are the inyarisble ones, like
the green Of trees or the blue Of the
sky. Things that might be any color
are usually no color at all. The su-
thor attempts no explanation. His
paper is a mere statement Of fact.

effect of 4 very small and delicate

Certainly it would, replied the
dealer, land that is where the fend-
ishness of the thing comes in. Look
closely at the glass rod and you will
see tiny groove filed around it about
three inches from the hilt. Sup.
pose that it was driven into the body
of man, it would be certain to break
at the groove and would leave at least
three inches of glass buried in his
vitals. The puncture would be so
small that it would close when the
stump was drawn out, and ! doubt
exceedingly whether single drop Of

tim could receive his death blow with.

meanwhile the assassin would stick
his brush together and go about his
business. The same idea might be
applied to stylograPhiC pens.

Sometimes fash of sunlight again the drifting rain.
Sometimes it seems to borrow from the crimson rose

Sometimes black with thunder. then changed to a

Sometimes false as satan. sometimes as heaven true.
Only the same old story. but, Oh how the changes

Prophet and priest and peasant soldier and scholar
and king;
Sometimes the warmest hard-clasp leaves in the palm

Sometimes in the hush of even, sometimes in the

Sometimes with dove-like calmness, sometimes with
passion rife;
We dream it. write it, live it, this weird wild story of
