\ Norway Dinner.

An American in Norway writes: Il
recently went to by no means IN
usual sort of dinner party given by a
wealthy political man, where twenty
three courses composed the menu. Re-
framing from a statement of the num-
Dor of wines accompanying this feast,
let me offer for contemplation the fact
that services thirteen and fifteen, each
of heavy meat, were divorced by
course fourteen) rich plum pudding
with sweet sauce. Dinner began at 8
o'clock; the women left the table lit
tie before s! At 8 the men rojoined
them for talk, music and cards, and at
II the dining room doors again opened
to reveal supper table laden with
every cold delicacy, from a bird to
caviare sandwich, calculated to tempt
and restore fainting humanity"

Green-IIeaded Men.

In the district surrounding the cop
per mines of Cornwall, Cuba, Chile
and other places where the ore is
abundantly found curious sight is to
be seen in the shape of men with
hair that is quite green. This is not,
as might be imagined, fas hionable
fad, but the grave results produced by
the mems surroundings. The crude
ore, in order to secure more market
able article, is roasted in enormous
furnaces, and it is some strange emana-
ton from the smelted copper that eff
fects this chemical change in the hair
of the miners, and turns it as green as
grass, Investigations have proved
that the fumes from the furnaces con-
tain a certain quantity of arsenical
matter, and this causes the startling
change, although the texture and
growth of the hair suffers no injury.

The Hindu Widow.

Action is being taken by certain en-
lightened natives to ameliorate the
shocking condition of the average Hin.
du widow. To begin with, the Indian
mother is shaved bald, and can only
hide her badness with her cloth; she
is deprived of all jewelry, wears coars-
er clothes than the rest of womankind,
must fast on certain days, and every
day has fewer meals than are taken as
a rule by the rest of the family. The
scheme of the relief afoot is that nc
widow shall be shaved until she is 81,
the age at which it may be supposed
that she will be able to show will OF
her own in case she objects. Bombay

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in EARLY Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer, "
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became SO poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with regularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetab BILE Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as 1
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
good color. 1 am completely cured of
irregularity."

THINGS IN THE LADRoNEs.
Queer Food and Other Natural Products
of the Islands.

Queer Food and Other Naturai IrouucSs
of the Islands.
The queer things in tho Ladrones
include tree, says the Richmond
Times, the fruit of which is so obnox-
ious to the nostrils that man cannot
''keep his stomach and smell it.
But once past the nose it is so de-
licious that he will eat until too full
to walk. This fruit ripens once
a month and is plentiful.
A nut which can be eaten she'll and
all is another queer product. The
shell is brittle like a cracker, sweet
and good. The inside has kernel
which can only be bitten when the
fruit is fresh.
Another fruit is so rare that it is
used as coin.
A very queer mineral product is a
stone which changes color in the at
mosphere. Cold days it is black, hot
days it is bright red, when rain threat
ems it is pinkish, and In cloudy
weather it is blue. This stone lies on
the highways and the pedestrian can
forecast his own weather.
A great yellow flower which opens
and closes to the sun at noon is
another novelty. This flower takes
only five minutes to open and shut;
for one minute it is wide open, show
ing white center with golden heart.
1t opens directly up to the sun and
closes tight with dropping head. 1t
10 in, w N a
lifetime of the plant. On cloudy days
it opens, but its petals point down
ward, for the stem does not rise as on
sunny days. This flower acts as a
clock to the natives. The domestic
animal of the Ladrones is small bird
called laughing donkey" 1t
laughs like parrot, but has projections
at the side of its head which give rise
to the name. Another household pet
is the Japanese poodle, which here is
very small and very curly haired.
This dog catches it's own fish in the
lagoons and eats fruit from the guava
tree.
The man who owns q farm in the
Ladrones is rich man, for he can sup
port life without labor. Breadfruit
trees grow wild, and, with the COCOA
nuts, are the shade trees of the islands.
A grove of breadfruit trees to a La
drone islander is what herd of
western cattle is to ranchman. Fruit
grows all the year round, and every
quality of queer edible tropical fruit
is found there.
A very valuable possession which
Uncle Sam will use is the palm grove,
which extends in belt across the is
lands. This grove consists OF palm
trees which rise side by side so close
together that you can hardly, except
for the slenderness of the trunks of
the trees, penetrate into the depths
of the palm forest. They grow vege-
table ivory, which in commerce is as
good as the elephant tusk. Thisivory
can be used in all cases that do not
call for great durability, and for orna-
ments it cannot be surpassed.

"Patronize Home Industry /. the motto
adopted by the Anaconda Labor League,
which was organized at meeting held
last night.
In accordance with a plan devised by
the Deer Lodge Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, Monday, the representatives of va
rious labor unions met last evening for
the purpose of organizing the league
There were represented at the meeting the
Deer Lodge Trades and Labor Assembly,
the Cigarmakers' union, the Building La
borers' union, the Bricklayers and Ma
sons union, the Cooks and Walters I'M
don, the Plumbers union and the Carpen-
ter.' union. It is expected other unions
will send representatives to the league.
Organization was effected by the cleo
ton of B. S. Smith OF the Cooks and
Waters union as chairman and Joseph
McClelland of the BricklayerS' and Ma
scrs' union as secretary.
The object of the organization Is to pro-
mote the handling OF home manufactured
goods as opposed to handling imported ar
ticles and those made by foreign or I'M
fair labor.
The League will interview business men
and urge them to assist in the work Par
ticular attention is to be given at once
to the matter of cigars. Dealers will be
requested to handle all union-made cigars
1t was decided that Anaconda is for home
tabor and that encouragement given that
labor will be a benefit to all classes of
business.

"that the Anaconda business 1Hen will
show the same spirit of cooperation as
the Butte business men. The miners.
among the many unions in Butte will not
buy non-union made cigars and hope the
Anaconda union men will be equally true
to their principles"

the letters coming from pension ella M

to their labors. Some of these letters
are so unique in their way that copies

from the letter of ~ man who lately
made application Of a pension:

IMPROVING THE ROADS
County Has Large Force of Men
Busily at Work.
ROAD MAKING SEASON
New Thoroughfares Being Constructed
in the Northern End of the County.
Bad Georgetown Flats
Road Being Rebuilt.

This is the season of road making
throughout Deer Lodge county. There are
Is road managers in the county, it being
divided into that many road districts.
Each of the Is is out just now with force
of men busiy at work banking up road
ways, filling in chuck holes, digging drain
age bitches beside the thoroughfares and in
other ways taking advantage of the sum-
mer season to prepare the highways for
the raVageS of winter.
County Surveyor Pinegar said last
night:
1T is impossible for me to say just how
many men are at work on Deer Lodge
county roads, but the number is a large
one, for work is going on in every district
in the county. Some of the men are citi-
zens working out their poll tax, while
others are hired
There are several new roads in course
of construction, chiefly in the north end
of the county.
Complaint was made recently about the
road over Georgetown flats between Ana
conda and Moose lake. That was not a
county road, so the officials We're not re-
sponsible for its condition. Nevertheless
the county is improving it, realizing that
with the increased travel between here
and Moose lake it is a necessity. The
road for a half mile is over low ground
which, with wagons travelling in one rut
became soft and miry. Road Manager w.

being repaired. A big six-horse patent

work and is proving decided success.
You would be astonisheu to see the

DESTROYING Money.

Extraordinary precautions are taken
by the United States government in the
destruction of it's wOrn-out and filthy
paper money. The fact that this could
be used again makes it necessary that
its destruction should be conducted
with care, and be made complete.
All the paper money that passes
through the treasury is sorted and the
old bills are sent to the redemption di-
vision, where they are searched for pos
sible counterfeits. Then they are care
fully counted, and tied up into bundles
of 100 each.
A great canceling machine then
drives four holes through each of these
bundles, of which careful record is
Kept. The piles of bills are then cut
INTO two parts, one set of halves going
to the secretary's office and the other
to the registers office.
In each place the halves are again
counted. after which they are choppe1
by machinery into fragments. Not
satisfied with this, the bits are then
boiled in watts of hot water and alkali
until they are reduced to an unrecog-
nized pulp. This the law permits the
treasury to sell to manufacturers of
novelties, who makes it into little mod
els of the capitol and the white house,
which are sold as souvenirs in the
Washington stores New bills are is
sued in an amount equal to those de-
StrOyed
