The Masquerade Ball.

The Washington's Birthday Masquer- ade Ball, given by Prof. Prettyman, at his academy in North Clifton, last Thurs day evening, was decided success, there being ffty-one couples in attend ance, about half of whom were masked. The costumes were all attractive, some being very comical and others gaudy. Quite a number were made in Los Ange- les and some in Fl Paso. All masks were removed at II o'clock, and at 12 the elegant repast prepared by Martha Wash ing on was ready for obliteration, and the rapidity with which it vanished was the highest compliment that could be bestowed upon Martha Jane. Long Tom, who presided in the capacity of waiter, displayed agility and politeness calculated to cause any of his brother walters at the Delmonic to turn white with envy. After lunch, dancing was resumed, and at ? o'clock all who par ticipated returned to their respective homes expressing themselves as having had most delightful time.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Loose, old kid gloves, worn while
ironing will prevent calloused spots
on the hands.
Heavy all over lace with colored silk
lining, will be used for evening and
dressy waists. Tiny rhinestone orna-
ments in profu.ion will serve for dec
orations.
The most elegant toilets are made
ia one color, whether black, white,
mauve, yellow, pink or viole Gown,
gloves, hat and parasol should repeat
the tone.
Separate waists OF velvet Will b
worn next winter, in color aud fancy
designs. They will open over a waist
coat of white moire silk or lace and
the elbow sleeves will be completed
by full undersleeve Of lace or silk to
match the waistcoat.
A novel way of applying ruffies to
skirt is to arrange them about third
of the skirts depth in diagonally
placed lines, six or eight inches apart.
The ruffles are narrow, cut crosswise
and pinked. Sometimes they are of a
different color from the gown and Of

A sachet of long lasting fragrance
can be made to initiate the scent of
verbenas by saving the peel of lemons
and mixing with caroway seeds. Take
half an ounce of tie powdered seed,
helt a pound of the powdered peel.
The peeling can be ground IN an ordi-
nary coffee mill. Mix the powders to-
gether and over it pour mixture of
one and one-half drachms Of oil of
lemon and three ounces Of oil Of ber-
gemot. This makes a dainty powder
for sachets to use in drawers, linen
closets, hat boxes and handkerchief

planter Does Receive a Premium

DOCS HNtfciNe ~
In an article printed in southern pa
pers and paid for by the compress in
terest, the statement is made that the
American Cotton Company "has paid
both the planter and the spinner bon
uses" to extend the use OF the round
lap bale, THIS reluctant admission by
the compressmen that the use of the
roundlAp bale Is profitable to planters
aud spinners Is not an exact statement
of fact The planter does receive
premium for his cotton in
round ap bales, not as bonus, but be-
cause his cotton in these bales is worth
more to any buyer than in any other
package. In like manner the spinner g
profit from the use of roundlap bales
comes from the economies they enable
him TO make. The farmer cares little
who pays the premium which his
roundlap bales command. What in
terests him is that they bring him
more money. and with his profit in his
pocket he il not deceived by the mis-
representations of men who, while
affecting tender solicitude for his well
fare, have only their own selfish pur-
poses to serve.

AN APP0RTIONMENT
OF SCHOOL FUNDS.

The school districts of the state that
were severely cramped by the decision
Of the state supreme court to the effect
that mony raised by special school cleo
tions mo be used for paying h ex-
penses of the schools will be gratified by
the distribution of state school money,
$50. 42S.5 so in amount, that Superintendent
Carleton has made. lfn
AS there are $3.50 census children in
the state, this division means $3.50 for
each one. It is by far the greatest dis
tribution ever made in Montana. or this
amount Lewis and Clarke will receive
the sum of $7,749. The county of Silver
Bow gets the largest amount, $14, 59S.
Valley receives only $3.50, there being but
500 census children in that county.
The following is the amount appor-
toned to the different counties, as we'll
as the number of census children in each
county.
