Coats That Last "a Century.

To wear your grandfather's coat
would not seem much of an honor, but
to John Chinaman it is the greatest
felicity. Not only is the common look
ing, shapeiess blue blouse of his an.
cestor priced because 1t is his ances-
tors, but because of it's intrinsic value.
The clothing usually worn by the Chi
nese is of the purest silk and costs any
where from 500 to $3.50 a suit.
AS a nation the Chinese object TO
wearing clothing of any other kind, and
centuries Of experiment have taught
them how best to make up the costly
caterpillar thread into the most dura-
BILE form. On this account the Chinese
dress, though of purer material, has
none of the sheen usually associated
with silk, a popularity which has re-
suited in the ideas as to their
composition. All the garments are
made in China and are only exported
for the personal use of Celestials IN
foreign countries.
Owing to their cost, however, they
are only purchased at long intervals,
each garment being of so durable q
character that they are handed down
to the third and even the fourth gener-
alton. Wear appears to rather improve
them than otherwise, with the result
that the coat of the father or GRANDPA
ther often has more intrinsic value
than the newer and less worn articles.

SYSTEMS.
The Advertising Bureau Takes a
Reef in Its Top Gallant Sail.

On and after February LIST, 1900,
the HERALD will adopt the rule of
charging regular advertising rate for
the publication of all notices whose
object is pecuniary advantage.
Heretofore, all notices of church
and society entertainments, fairs, fes-
rivals and dances have been run free
of charge, so long as the benefits re-
bounded to a benevolent cause.
The injustice of such a purse is
readily apparent. A newspapers
advertising space is its stock in trade.
Tee managers of a newspaper are
as free in the dispensation of charity
as average business men. They of
the HERALD have never withheld pc.
cuniary assistance from the promo
ton of any public, or even half
public enterprise. They have given
up their dollars as freely as have the
push of any other business institu-
ton, and beside, have thrown in the
advertisements without stint.
And what have they received in
return? Throughout the year 1899,
only n institution in Neihart
ever evinced its appreciation to the
extent of advancing complimentary
tickets to its functions. That instit-
ution is the Belt Mountain Miners
Union. All the rest are as cold
blooded as crabs by the side of the
surging sea. They take the print
ers ink, his time and his money, and
some will even take his paper-with-
out paying for it.
In future the HERALD will assist
with money as usual; but all charita-
BILE institutions and societies will pay
for the announcements of their mer
cenary functions-or else do like the
poor folks of Kentucky. This is the
system generally adopted by news.
papers, and SO long as the public un'
derstands the case, there is no chance
for a complaint.

A YEAR IN COURT.
Reports of District and State Courts
for the Past Year.

for the Past Year.
The annual report of John L.
Athey, clerk of the district court,
shows that a surprising amount of
business was transacted in the court
in the past year and that little re-
mains not disposed of.
Two hundred and forty five civil
cases were commenced and 219 were
disposed of.
Thirty-nine criminal cases we're
commenced and rs were disposed of,
10 being dismissed, 4 resulting in
acquittals and II in convictions.
Eleven insanity cases were tried,
six persons being committed to the
insane asylum and FIVE being dis
charged.
Thirty-six letters of administration
were issued, 10 estates were settled,
and nine guardians were appointed.
Forty-eight executions, IS DEGREES
of foreclosure and ID orders of sale
were issued.
Twenty-seven divorces were
granted.
Two-hundred and Twenty-Five
marriage licenses were issued.
Fifty-Gve aliens were naturalized.
The new calendar of the supreme
court just issued by Henry Ricketts,,
clerk of the supreme court, shows
that there were 204 cases awaiting
action by the supreme court Jan. |.
Since then four appeals have been
heard, there remaining just 200 on
the calendar.
The supreme court last year dis
posed of 142 cases, writing opinions
in all but 20 of them. During the
year 172 appeals were filed. AL
though the supreme court did a pro-
dlgious amount of work for a bench
composed of three members, it was
unable to gain on it's CALENDAR On
the contrary, more cases were filed
than disposed of. The first
civil case on the calendar that will
be heard this year was filed Nov. Is,
1897, which represents practically
the time the court is behind it's cal
endar. Other cases filed since then
and advanced on the calendar for
cause have, however, been decided
by the court.
The record of work done by the
Montana supreme court is a remark
able one, although it is unable to
keep up with its calendar. There is
not a court in the United States
composed of only three members
that does the volume of work dis
posed of by the Montana court, and
in many states the courts are much
further behind in their work than in
this state.

1t Is an interesting fact that when
the dahlia was introduced into Europe
1t was not as Il flower that it was
valued, but as a vegetable. The plant
is said to be really akin to the potato,
and it was thought that it would prove
an important addition to our food re-
sources. The single variety seems to
have been imported first, the Marchion-
ess Of Butte having introduced it about
100 years ago. 1t came to us from
Madrid, the Spaniards having, it is be-
lieved, found it first in Mexico, and it
was introduced into France as we'll as
England.
A few daring Adventures appear to
have made trial of it as an edible root,
but it is never an easy matter to popu-
larize a new article of food, and the
tuber of the dahlia did not take on. If
1t had done SO, the probability is that
we should never have troubled much
about it's cultivation as a flower. We
never do grow things for fruit and
flower, too, and If we had sacks of
dahlia bulbs in Covent Garden we
should have had no dahlia show at the
Crystal Palace.-London Correspond.

A STREET CAR COMEDY.
The Girl and Her Purse and Five
Smart Young Men.

.ASS "A
Smart Young Men.
AS 500 as the good looking girl en-
tered the car the five young men on the
opposite seat began surveying her with
critical eye, and she hadn't yet made
out whether the baldheaded man with
the medical magazine was to be in
cluded in the lot when the conductor
came in for his fare. The girl opened
her portemonnaie and began to take
out latchkeys, samples of ribbon and
little memoranda in the usual way,
and the five young men smiled, each
after his own particular style. Bald
headed was out of it. The girl didn't
see n of the smiles, but she caught
on just the same. There was a nickel
all ready for her fingers, but when one
pale faced young man added a giggle
to his smile the nickel was thrust aside
for a So bill. She didn't hand it over
to the conductor as she fshed 1t out;
but, leaning forward with a winning
smile on her face, she began at the
head Of the line and asked:
evil you please be so kind as to
change this bill for me?"
1t was impossible. A young nan
with only a dime in his pocket has no
show to bust a bill. The next one
had a quarter, but he had to decline,
and so it went to No. 8. His hand
sought his pocket as his turn came,
but 1t didn't bring up any change.
The smiles had been replaced by sheep
ish looks, and they rubbed elbows and
trod on each others feet in trying to
look out of the windows. There vas a
long minute of painful suspense, and
then the good looking girl handed the
bill to the conductor. She hadn't a
word to say to the five young men who
had started out in life so gayly, but old
baldheaded had. When all was over,
he turned half around and growled
out:
"If 1 were you fellows, l wouldn't
try to be SO blamed smart next time."-
