The UnromantiC Occupation
OF a bucket Girl" in Butte

Two girls We're looking over the daily
e'1oehtly reading the want ADVERTISE
ments and from the tenor of their con-
Nersation, seeking positions. Suddenly
one of them paused: What on earth is
bucket girl, Maud?"
The other one was just as puzzled:
Pm sure I don't know" And then they
tried to decide what the duties of a
bucket girl We're, so one of them could
apply for the position advertised. But
they finally appealed to the waiter.
why bucket girl is girl who puts
UP the lunches for the miners at the big
board" he explained.
why, l don't see how one could be
kept busy long enough to earn any
salary observed Maud.
Say, you girls must be from the east.
You are? OF course or you'd know there
are about ten thousand miners and smell
termen employed in Butte and not more
than half of them live at home They
all have to take lunch with them when
they go on shift, and some one has to
put them up. Why those girls get to
know every bucket. just as if it were a
human face, and they pick them up
when they are piled together by the
hundreds and give each man his own,
never making a mistake. I do think it
is marvellous myself said the cashier,
taking a hand in the converse ton.
do you have them here?" asked one
OF the girls.
''Oh. no. They are only employed
where the miners STOP and the
girls returned to their papers, and went
out soon, one of the n intent upon break
ing into the ranks of the bucket girls.
To people unaccustomed to it. it does
seem funny. Yet it is anything but
funny to a nervous girl, the monotony
of it compelling those constituted to
quit in a short time. One girl employed
in a hotel here, actually lost her mind
and is now in the insans asylum. The
only words she utters are in a kind of
sing-sOng:
"One piece Of pie, cake. meat ana
bread, one big pickle or two small ones,
hard boiled egg and don't forget the salt
and pepper. Oh forgot the cold coffee
This with variations she keeps up day
after day, this victim of the miners
dinner pail. She was one of the nervous
even with them it, as the English say,
gets on their nerves." Still it is only
the experienced girls who occupy one po-
stion for a long time who are really
valuable. They work in a machine-like
fashion generally. There are just so
many buckets in front of them and just
such a quantity must go into each pail,
but they must learn whether Torn
OBrien likes cold tea or cold coffee, and
if any man is prejudiced against any
kind of meat. Some men dislike cold
boiled eggs while they are favorite
provender with others. So the bucket
girls JOB is no snap.
Many a little romance has been planted
in an unromantic tin bucket resulting
in a happy little home up in smelter-
town, over which the one time bucket
girl presides happily filling one bucket
And what a difference between the
boarding house lunch and the lunch the
little wife puts up. She has time to

One Of our old time citizens. White
Calfee, made trip into the mountains
few days ago. and states that he found
less snow than he has seen in the last
fifteen years at this time. and argues
therefrom that the water supply Mill be
Woefully short the coming summer. He
fou"d no drifts to exceed two feet in
depth. and as the drifts furnish the
water. it is easily seen that the outlook
for an adequate supply of irrigating
water is not the best in the world
There is. however ample time for any
amount of snow. SO that there is no use
in worrying about conditions in this
respect for several months yet. Again,
there may be enough precipitation during
the summer that irrigation will be UNI
necessary.

vesting and up-to-date mills to prepare the
grain for market there would be enormous
gains in extensive cultivation Of this cereal
on the islands.
The yield of clean rice was from 900 TO
t,oto pounds per acre, which means WELD
per year of twice that amount. The total
yield of the islands is not far from 10. 600 =
600 pounds A large amount is consumed
on the islands, while the exports will reach
100000 to S,000,000 pounds annually.

Fancy Shooting.
from the Fortnightly Review


In the hysterical days that followed that
dismal series of defeats year ago some
extraordinary proposals made their appear
ance in the press of this country. One dis
tinguished member of the house of lords,
writing to the Morning Post, seriously con-
tended that our soldiers should be trained
to shoot at one mile and half or more!"
Two thousand six hundred and forty yards
or more! One wonders what conception
the writer of this letter could have had of
what the human eye can see at that dis
tance. He was probably unaware of the
fact that, to hit a man mile and half
off, he would have to point the barrel at a
spot in midair 1,240 feet or so over his
would-be victim! Another proposal born
in those perturbed days was to use the rifle
as miniature mortar, delivering "witlIer-
ing voIIeys at high angles of elevation"
Another invoked the assistance of the
Times to bring it about that recruits learn
to fire from the hip. for the reason that "it
relieves him from the terrible apprehension
he has of the kick of the rife which makes
him sore all over" The writer Of this re-
markable letter had evidently never shot
with modern service rifle. or he would

kick to dread in the Lee-Metford, Mauser

The largest game preserve IN the world
is the continent Of Africa, OF at least the
greater portion of it-eXtending from the
twentieth degree of north latitude down to
the northern borders of Cape Colony and
Natal This great scheme was made pos
sible by a treaty cooperation of England,
Germany, France. Belgium. Portugal,
Italy and Spain, by which it is provided
that the hunting and destruction of vul-
lures, secretary birds, owls, eiraffes, go-
rilas chimpanZees, mountain zebras, wild
asses, white-tailed gnus, Glands and the lit
tie Liberian hippopotami are absolutely
young of certain animals. including the
elephant, rhinoceros hippopotamus, ante
lope, gazelle, ibeN and chevrotain, and TO
the adults of these species when accompa-
MED by their young. Particular stress is
laid on the protection Of young elephants.
and elephant tusks weighing less than
twenty pounds will be confiscated. The
eggs of the ostrich and OF many other birds
are protected, but those of the crocodile,
python and poisonous snakes are to be de-
stroyed. Even lions, leopards, hyenas,
harmful monkeys and large birds of prey
may not be slaughtered at the hunters
will. Hunters are required to take out Ii
censes, and the number of animals each
may kill is limited. The use of nets and
pitfalls is forbidden. nor may explosions be
used for killing FISH.
The main object of this vast protective
enterprise is economic, TO encourage the
domestication of the elephant, zebra and
ostrich and to husband the trade in wild
animal products, which were threatened
by the rapacity Of market hunters and So
