Too Many Dand eltons.

~Bozeman and, in fact, the whole Of
Gallatin county, Mont, is afflicted
with a scourge of dandelions. They
are to be seen in every garden, and in
nearly every field of the county. In the
summer the little globes of fluffy, cot
tonlike substance, containing the seeds
of the dandelion, float through the air
and alight in every nook and corner
No matter how poor the soil the dan
delion fiourishes. Old-timers say that
thirty or thirty-five years ago there
was not dandelion in the country. A
farmers wife some thirty years ago
longed for dandelion green's and sent
to friends in the east and asked them
to send out some seed. They complied
with her request and the seeds took
root in the lady's garden. They spread
from the garden into the lane which
runs by the ranch and in the summer
either side is a yellow mass of flowers,
and later it looks like miniature cot
ton field. When the winds come the
little puff balls Of seeds are blown
hither and thither, and now the plants
are worst evil in the country. 49,

A Plea for Navajo ART.

E Americans have been slow to awak-
en- to the fact that we have in this
land, among a people of which the Old
World knows nothing and the New
World little, arts that are quaint, orig
inal and worthy of long continuance.
Such are the textiles Of the Navajoes,
the baskets Of the various western
tribes, and the bead and quill work Of
yet others. For centuries our Indians
wove and embroidered, and none except
their red neighbors gave attention to
them. Now that their work is at last
receiving attention, their poverty in
duces them to make and sell as fast as
possible, and hasty work is never good
work. It is the whites who are respon-
sible for the poverty of the Indian, in
the destruction of his game, the OBJ
liberation of his hunting grounds and
his introduction to sundry vices and
diseases; hence, it is our duty to bet
ter his state, not as now, by pauper-
izing him with gifts, but encouraging
him to continue what is best in his
work. Saturday Evening Post.

Buttons for the Church.

There is far more in the oft-repeated
statement that old buttons if useful
for no other purpose may serve as an
offering to the Lord. It is recorded as
a fact that a clergyman's wife was
mending clothes for her boys when one
Of her neighbors called in to have a
friendly chat. It was not long before
the visitors eye was attracted by a
large basket more than half filled with
buttons. The lady could not help re-
marking that there seemed very good
supply Of buttons. Thereupon she be-,
gan to turn them over and suddenly
exclaimed: Here are two buttons ex-
act1y the same as those my husband
had on his last winter suit. I should
know them anywhere" Indeed, said
the elergyman's wife. Il am surprised
to hear it. As all these buttons were
found in the collection bag I thought
:I might as well put them to some use.' =,
Before she had finished speaking the
visitor hastily arose and said she must
be going.

which are popularity supposed to be in
q state Of inanimate rest, the houses
In which we live, the very furniture
upon which we sit, are said TO be in a,

Of living IS q matter Of vibration. In
other words, every living animal and
vegetable pulsates according to it's in
dividual wave length. Every part Of
every animal has its rate OF vibration,
which, when normally maintained,
keeps the member in a state OF health,
but which, when It departs from the
normal, induces a state OF disease. At
least so ssay the high priests OF the
new movement, who reason, therefore,
that the use Of med icine is a very
roundab bout way OF producing what can

said gentleman who has just return
ed from visit to London, to a Wash
ington Star writer, reminds me Of a
dining saloon in the Whitechapel dis
trict Of London, where relishing and
fairly substantial meal may be had for
half penny, or one cent in our money.
This cheap repast is not served up in
the shape Of a cut from joint and two
vegetables It Is big brown pie, very
juicy and very hot. The absence of
beefsteak is evident when you cut the
pie, but you find inside liberal
sprinkling Of sleeps liver, onions and
turnips, and a plentiful supply of
gravy. For half penny extra two
slices of bread and a cup of tea are
supplied. Between the hours of twelve
and two the poor and hungry from all
parts of the east side of the city flock
to the dining room. Most of the pat

plus the machine, which might be
taken for one of those relics of the
Spanish inquisition to be found in all
dentists offices. An electric motor is
geared to a small spindle, and to the
side Of the spindle is attached a long
steel rod, which, when the motor is re-
yolVed at great speed, moves rapidly in
unison. with it, like piston rod. To
the end of the piston rod is attached a
heavy leather glove with the fingers
cut out. The operator places her hand
in the glove, and the piston rod, NOV
ing rapidly back and forth, gives to
her hand a .vibratory motion which
makes it feel as though it were being
traversed by an electric current. In
fact, to touch her hand gives you a
sensation exactly like that obtained
from the poles of a battery. Now, i'm
agine a sedate but overworked Wall
street gentleman sitting placidly with
a far-off look in his eyes, while. the
young lady operator applies the thrill

While the operator moves her fin

nose, bilaterally outward via your eye

your ears toward the upper end of
your spinal column, she croons softly

PRIMITIVE CHINESE MONEY.

Hatchet.
The little brass cash, the Chinese
coins, the 1ineal descendants, IN un-s
broken order, OF the bronze axe of re-
mote Celestial ancestors. From the
regular hatchet to the modern coin
one can trace a distinct. if somewhat
broken, succession, so that it is inn
possible to say. where the one leaves
OH and the other begins. Here is how
this curious pedigree first worked it
self out: In early times, before the coin
was invented, barter was usually con-
Quoted between producer and consum-
er with metal implements, as it still
is in Central Africa at the present day.
At first the Chinese in that unsophis-
ticated age were content to use real
hatchets for this commercial purpose,
but after time, with the profound
mercantile instinct of their race, it oc-
Cured to some Of them that when a
man wanted half hatchets worth of
goods he might as well pay for them
with half a Ratchet. Still, as it would
be pity to spoil good working i'm
plement by cutting it in two, the
worthy All Sin ingeniously compro-
missed the matter by, making tin
hatchets Of the usual size and shape,
but far too slender for practical usage.
By SO doing he invented coin, and,
what is more, he invented it far earl
Ter than the claimants to that proud
distinction, the Lydians, whose cleo
trum staters were first struck in the

Gramophono Amusos Turkish Ladies

Gramophono Amnsos Turkish Ladies'.
K The gramophone is a great source of
pleasure to Turkish ladies. For some
years it was strictly forbidden; now
nearly every house is provided with
one, and the fades sit around and roar
with laughter every night at it's pro-
auctions. Nearly all are fitted with
cylinders giving Turkish songs and
stories. If the ladies VIII their
gramophones would only stop at home
no one would object; but what they
delight in is to get into a boat with
their friends and float slowly down the
Bosporus, with the gramophone
shrieking in the middle. The Bos-
porus on a moonlight night is the most
romantic place imaginable. Sitting on
a balcony overhanging the water, with
no sounds but the soft lappinig of the
waves and the unceasing songs Of the
nightingales which swarm all along
the shore, one gets lost in all sorts Of
imaginations, and it is too bad when
a boat suddenly drifts close by with a
gramophone squeaking out Daisy or
something equally incongruous. =z

Training a'Dog.

Il. . H.
Jumping is the easiest thing to
teach your dog. First, put him in a
corner and hold cane before him,
so that he cannot get out without leap
ing over it. You must not hold it very
high, or he will crawl under it; make
him hold his head up, however. and
you will prevent that. Keep at it until
he understands what you want, and
he will jump without hesitation. After
the trick has been learned in the cor
ner it may be tried out in the room.
Later on you may get him to Jump
through hoop, and still later through
a hoop covered with tissue paper, max
ing him break through the paper as
he jumps. This will require a good
deal of patience, but it may be done,
and is SO odd that you ought to try it.
Another easy trick is sitting up. Be-
gin this in corner, too. Place the dog
in sitting posture, with his back
against the wall, and keep him in that
position by tapping him gently under
the chin; he will soon understand what
you want. Then try him out in the
room. Take hold of his fore paws, and,
having raised him to an upright posi-
ton, force him gently down to a sit
ting position. Gradually release his
paws and give him confidence by cry
ing STEADY! Steady!'' Reward him
by a little bit of candy or some other
sweet, and you will soon have him so.
that he will assume that position in
stantly on your saying 'sUp!'' = i. 8: !.
After you have taught him to **sit
up" you may easily make him stand
erect on his hind legs. Reward him
after every trial and you will have no
trouble about it.. Then you can make
him walk on his hind legs. Begin this
part Of the training by making him
stand UP, and then gradually coax
him along by offering the sweet, hold
ing it close to his mouth, but making
him keep his upright position by your
commands. One important thing in
teaching a dog is never to allow him
to come to the end Of trick without
orders from you; you must not let him
stop when he pleases. At the same
time you must be careful not to make
him perform for too long a time; you
must not weary him, and thus make
him dread the performance. And an
other thing you should never think Of
using the whip, or of Furnishing the
dog in any way; kindness and patience
will accomplish wonders. Is ...z
