At a meeting held at Helena Tuesday
night attended by Mayor Harrington and
Chief of Police Mulholland of Butte, Chief
Anaconda, and Mayor Edwards and
Chief of Police Becker of Helena, the pro-
posed metropolitan police commission
bill was discussed. Ex-Representative
Leehy Of Silver Bow, who was present,
read the proposed bill, explaining it's OBJ
jects. The measure applies only to cit
les of $4,000 or more population, so that
Butte is the only town that will be af-
fected. The governor is to have the pow
site parties, who are to act with the may
or IN all matters affecting the force.
Will Rea, the St. Paul sheep buyer,
came in from Big Timber Saturday and
left yesterday for his home, says the Bill
ings Gazette. Mr.. Rea says that his firm
is feeding 5000 head Of sheep for the mar
ket, and during the last of January he
would ship $4,000 head from Big Timber,
Park City and Billings to put on the mar
ket after a few months feed. When ques-
toned as to the market he said it was
very poor and at present there seemed but
little prospect of feeders realizing any
profit from their sheep. Another thing
was the p rice that has to be paid for
screenings, the dealers having advanced
the price nearly double. While here Mr..
Rea sold to Ralph Berry the wool of the
"a, 600 head of sheep he is to ship, the price
received being IA cents, which is a good
start for the 1899 wool season. ~ H

THE PHONOGRAPH IN RUSSIA
Regarded with Disfavor By the Po-
lice AuthnrlIica.

Edison's phonograph has had a bat
lie royal with Russian press censorship,
says the Anglo-Russian. In the pavilion
of the public gardens in Tagonrog the
machine was exhibited, aud attracted
large audiences. 1t played and sang,
and laughed aud spoke for some time
undisturbed. until police officer heard
the machine reciting one of Kriloff's
famous fables, viz: "Demyan's Ukha"
(soup or hospitality, but with some
variations on the original text. The Of
ficer got suspicious. and not trusting
to his memory, he ran at once and got
Kriloff's book, and came again to listen
to the monographs version of the
fable. To his horror he found the
fable reproduced not at all as it was
passed by the censorship more than half
a century ago. An alarm was raised at
once, the higher local authorities COM
munieated with, and the manager OF the
pavilion, Mr.. Paraiinovitch. was called
upon to explain the behavior of that
speaking American beast. All the poor
manager could do was to open the mys-
terious inside of the criminal machine
and hand over to the authorities the in
discreet cylinder which threatened 10
tell the peaceful inhabitants so many
undesirable things. But the arrest of
the chief criminal was considered in
sufficient. as it could not have acted
without human accomp,ice. So, ac-
cording to the Taganrog Viestnik. the
affair has taken its official course. and
the innocent manager of the pavilion
has lost in the mean time his generally
good appetite and sound sleep, as he
does not know in what punishment the
official proceedings will result. and how
long he will have TO wait until his fate
is decided

LUMINOUS PAINT.
Used for a Variety of Purposes in CITY
and Country,

Luminous paint is used more in
the country than in the city, but its
use generally is increasing, says the
New York Sun. II is used in cities in
dark scenes in the theaters, and dancers
costumes are coated with it. Luminous
paint is used for the illumination of
doctors signs, and of street numbers.
and night bells, and keyholes and door
knobs, and it is used to paint match
boxes and various other things. 1t is
not luminous except in the dark, and SO,
for sign purposes, it is used only in
such places as are not reached by the
rays from the street lamp.
Luminous paint is not phosphores-
cent, but it absorbs light in the day. or
light from electric or other artificial
lights, which it gives out in the dark;
most commonly. indoors and out, it is
used upon objects that are exposed to
daylight. The distance at which such
objects can be seen at night depends
upon their size. Luminous. paint is
used in the country on highway sign
boards OF guidboards. for painting
posts or stones marking roadways, and
so on. and on the water ii is used for
painting harbor buoys.
There is also made luminous card
board, which is used for various pur-
poses.

MANNERS OUTSIDE THE NAVY.
An Instance showing That Old See
Dogs Have LiNie R-.pect for
Land Lubbers' Ways.

The ordinary seaman's respect for
rank and station when not connected
with his beloved vessel is decidedly
meager, says a writer in an article en-
titled "On Man-of-War." When the
president of the United STATES visits one
of our men-of-war he is received at the
gangway by the admiral. comma ndiug
officer. and all of the officers of the ship
in full uniform, he crew al quarters
for inspection, the marine guard drawn
up with the band on the quarter deck,
the national flag is displayed at the
main, the drummer gives four duff1es,
the band plays the national air and a
salute of 81 guns is fired. The same
ceremony also takes place on his leav-
ing.
On one occasion the president visited
one of the ships informally, dispensing
with the salute and ceremony. when
one of the men rather Indignantly
asked another who that lubber was on
the quarterback that didn't "douse his
peak" TO the commodore
Choke your luff. will you," was the
reply; that's the president of the
United States"

A certain southern congressman was
heard entertaining company OF his
colleagues last week in the democratic
cloak room of the house with an ac-
count of an unusual experience, says
the Washington Post. During the
woman suffrage convention" said he,
several ladies from my district were
present. Early in the convention one
of them came to the capitol. called a..
my committee room, and requested an
interview, which was readily granted.
She stated that the woman suffrage
delegates were TO have some sort of
public meeting, in which she was to
participate. and requested that ] should
provide floral tribute to be presented
10 her on that occasion.
Il was naturally somewhat taken
ahack at the suggestion. l supposed in
the course OF my IL years in congress
that l had exhausted about every
variety of duties that a member of the
house is called upon to perform. I
have always been ready and willing to
run errands for my constituents, for
which at home my Office boy would
have sufticed. I have catered to the
whims Of office-seekers. When my con-
stituents have come to me hungry l
have fed them, and when they have
come shelterless | have given them
lodging. ! have taken my political sup
porters to the theaters by hundreds,
but was forced to inform my lady Wis
i,or that l must draw the line at bou-

with an old turkey. A hon mother will
run the legs off from little turkeys,
whereas an old turkey will hardly stir
out of her tracks until her little ones
are good and strong; then she is a
great rambler. The best thing | ind
for food is what we call Dutch cheese,

Plums and poultry go well together.
The poultry clean out the curculio and
thrive on them, and plums tnrive a
good deal better without them.
A great many Of the diseases of trees
and plants are diseases of weakness and
can be prevented by thoroughly good
culture and manuring such as will keep
the tree or plant in. a vigorous growing
condition. This is practicularly true
with the diseases OF small fruits.

fruits, but keep in touch with the test

to do no more than he can afford to see

Never allow fruit tree to overbear.
Nothing is gained and much is lost by
neglect to thin. A tree will give in few
er fruits all the yield by measure that
it can give without injury to itself.
The fruit will be larger, better develop
ed and of better quality. Overbearing
one season is a draft on the future re-
sources of the tree which it will not re-
cover from for several years if at all:

Many Need Not Be Kept Full Yea"

Owing to the improbable expense of
roofing and more space than is abso-
lutely necessary, one of the great pro-
blems in the interior arrangement OF
farm buildings is the economizing OF
room. Such being the case, every prac-
teal device possible should be sought
after, and when one is discovered that
answered the. purpose fairly we'll 1t
ought never to be forgotten.
This is highly applicable to the horse
manager shown herewith, for not only
is it convenient and economical, but
just the thing wherever the space for a
horse stable is small, as usually occurs
when the stalls are arranged across one
end of the barn, or if so that the horses
face the barn floor.

Using crops for manure does not
bring in quick returns, but it pays.
Such crops as turnips, rye, bucilWheac
and crimson clover assist in reducing
the plant food in the soil and making
it possible for crops the succeeding year
to utilize the plant food p!oughed under
in the manure crop. All soils contain
unavailable matter that the farmer
needs. There are crops that do rot
have the power to break down the
chemical compounds existing in the
soils, but there are other crops which
have a partially for some substances
which are beyond the ability of plants
CT different kind. One crop may be
preparatory for another, hence the
ploughing under Of a c"nD is not loss
but a gain. In England the turnips are
regarded as a re"ova-or Of the soil, ara
the seed is broad 2sted over the surface,
sleep being allowed access TO the tur-
nirz after hey isaEe maturod. the
turnips can feed on almost anything IN
the soil, and when eaten by sheep the
gain of mutton and manure gives the
farmer a profit, but the English farmer
attaches as much value to the increased
Fertility of his soil as he does TO the
product which he markets therefrom.
1t may be urged as some have done,
that green crops can add no mineral
matter to the soil other than it take
therefrom, which is true; but such
crops render the mineral matter avail
able for the next season.-Farmers'
Journal.

Poultry Parasites.

It may surprise the general reader to
know that four different species of
tapeworm attack chickens, four other
kinds attack geese, seven attack ducks
and five attack pigeons. The remedy
for tapeworms is one teaspoonful OF alb
sinthe to so fowls, mixed in warm bran
mash once a day for three or four days.
Clean up and sprinkle premises with
four ounces sulphuric acid mixed in one
gallon of water For other intestinal
worms, give one teaspoonful of turpen-
tine to twenty-five birds, mixed in bran
mash.
For cape worms, move all fowls to
new quarters, kill all sick ones, and
thoroughly boil them, chop fine and
feed to the laying hens. Disinfect the
old quarters-yards, runs and houses
by sprinkling thoroughly with the d.
lutte sulphuric acid Feed turpentine
and asafoetida in soft food of the fowls
for a few days. The remedies and pre-
ventatiyes for mites, lice, and fleas are
generally understood. Cleanliness and
the dust bath are the best preventives.
WhiteWash, kerosene, etc, applied to
Toosts, floor, nest boxes, ETC., at fire.
ouent intervals are also efficient.
little copperas hydrosulphate of soda,
and half a teaspoonful of nux vomica
in the drinking water of dozen fowls
once a week is good tonic and pre-
yentiye of internal parasites.-Rural
