OUR DON65 nv ACTION X ,

"A similar claim that was made by the
state of Washington amounting to some
SIS, 900. was allowed and don't see why
we should not be treated as we'll as our
| sister Western state. When the men,
hers of the old guard went to San Fran
CISCO on their way to the Philippines.
their guns were sent back here from that
city. Consequently the men in the new
guard now have guns.
. ..They also have ammunition and SER
vice belts. but are in need OF uniforms,
bla nkets and other equipment.
There are no field officers Of the new
guard as yet They will be elected later.
It may be of interest to some people who
are not familiar with military affairs to
know that as a matter of fact the field
officers, that is, the colonel, lieutenant
colonel and majors are elected by the
commissioned officers of the various COM
panies and not appointed by the gov
ernor, as many suppose.
4 1T is true that the governor grants
their commissions, but they are first
elected.
H To Drill Wednesday.
MY company is supposed to drill on
each Wednesday evening, but of late we
have been unable to drill on account Of
the fact that the place we use for an ar
| mory, the basement of the library build
ing, is undergoing repairs.
And. by the way. 1 should like to say
a few words about that basement, which
seems Just now to be sort of bone OF
contention.
"The basement. as will appear by the
records of the county commissioners, was
| originally intended for an armory. APP
plication was made to the commission
to have it fit up the basement for armory
purposes, but it developed that at the
time the applicat ton was made there was
nothing in the law that gave the COM
mission authority to do what it was
asked to do.
1.-THE basement was left in an unfinish-
cd condition and was foored and plas-
tered at the expense Of the national
guard, the amount put out on it being
about $4,000. Now the library people want
to take it away from VI.

guard up to point where the state can
share in the national appropriation.
Montana's share Of the congressional
donation will amount, it is said. to about
$4,000. That being true. 1t is evident that
Adjutant General McCulloch, as the
members of the guard express it, had
good reasons for pushing the work of re-
organizing the companies in this state.

When gold is dissolved in nitromuriatic
acid. it forms chloride of gold, beautiful
yellow liquid used by gilders, photogra-
piers and others. When this solution is
diluted with water, and chloride of tin is
added, metallic gold is precipitated as a
beautiful purple powder, used for gid
ing and coloring porcelain and glass.
This powder is called purple of CASH

Andreas Cassius of Leyden, who made it
for the first time in the year 1885.
In gliding porcelain it is spread upon
the pattern by means of paste, and by
the action of heat in the oven it takes
the ordinary golden hue and brilliancy,
but by modifying the composition of the
paste it yields also rose and purple colors.
When a small quantity of it is mixed
with the materials used in making glass,
the glass produced has magnificent ruby

cause of such a physical change, which
is not to be explained by the stress and
strain of daily labor, because there are
not few who, in spite Of years of steady
work, retain the girlish attractiveness OF
face and figure. Perhaps the most i'm
portant cause of this change is to be
found in the prevaleHce of ailments

SOME CURIOUS FOODS.
The Things That Are Eaten by the
Natives of Africa.

The lion is eaten by some African
races, but it's flesh is held in small es-
TEEN. The Zulus find carrion 50 much to
their liking that, according to the late
Bishop Colenso, they apply to food peo-
pied by large colonies of Larvae the ex-
pressive word "uborni," signifying in
their uncouth jargon great happiness. :"
David Livingstone, that keen and accu-
rate observer, reminds us that the aborig-
inal Australians and Hottentots prefer
the intestines of animals. at is curious"
he says, that this Is the part which ami
mails always begin with, and it is the
first choice of our men,"
On this point | may remind the civil
lized reader that the woodcock and the
red mullet, or sea woodcock, are both
eaten and relished without undergoing
all the cleansing processes which most
animals used for food among us gener-
ally experience to fit them for the table,
so that our aversion to the entrails of an
finals is not absolute, but only one of de-
gree. The hippopotamus is a favorite
dish with some Africans when they can
get this unwieldy and formidable river
monster, and when young its flesh is good
and palatable, but with advancing years
1t becomes coarse and unpleasant.
The Abyssinians find the rhinoceros to
their taste; so they do the elephant, which
is also eaten in Sumatra. DR.. Livingstone
describes the elephants foot as delicious,
and his praises will be echoed by many
travellers in lands where that sagacious
monster still fingers in rapidly decreasing
numbers. 1--WE had the foot" wrote the
doctor, cooked for breakfast next morn
ing and found it delicious. 1t is whitish
mass, slightly gelatinous aud sweet like
marrow. A long march to prevent bill
iousness is wise precaution after meal

elephants tongue and trunk are also
good. and after long simmering much
resemble the hump of a buffalo and the
tongue of an OK, but all the other meat
is tough and from its peculiar flavor only

The anvil that rings to the sturdy
blacksmith's sledge may weigh 200, 300,
400 pounds, but there are anvils whose
weight is counted In ounces. These are
used by jewelers., silversmiths and vari-
GUS other workers.
Counting shapes, sizes, styles Of finish,
and 80 on, these little anvils are made in
scores of varieties, ranging in weight
from Is ounces up to a number Of
pounds each. Some of these little anvils,
weighing perhaps two pounds, are shaped
precisely like the big anvils. Others have
shapes adapted to their special uses.
All the little anvils are of the finest
steel They are all trinity finished, often
nickel plated, and those surfaces that
are brought into use are finished with
what is called a mirror polish, the sur
face being made as smooth as glass.
These little anvils are made up to FIVE
pounds and some of them up to ten
pounds in weight. They are made some
in the United States and some in Germa-
ny.-New York Sun.

In London it was noticed that when
the streets were muddy there was
marked diminution of diseases that were
prevalent when dust is blowing. Ca
tarrhal troubles are plentiful when people
are compelled to inhale dust. Consump-
ton, too, often gets its start from the
breathing of flying particles of filth. Add
sufficient water to transform the dust
into mud, and the power for harm is
gone, for mud is not inhaled. The germs
that infest dry dust become inert in mud,
because these germs, vicious as they are,
are too lazy to go anywhere unless they
are carried. Moreover, mud is very like
'ly to get ultimately into the drain pipe,
and the germs are carried off where they
can do no harm. Even when mud dries
on the clothing and is brushed off the
dust that arises therefrom does not ap-
pear to be as dangerous as that which
has not been recently wet. = Leslie's

a certain lawyer noted for his success in
bankruptcy proceedings as well as for
the big fees he charged, addressing one
of his clients, a short, stout man with
curly black hair.

ent.
Because your petition for your dis
charge as a bankrupt has been approved
by the court and all of your debts have
been wiped out-that is, all except one"
replied the lawyer.
"What one remainsT eagerly asked
the client.
''The only debt that remains, the only
one that you can still be compelled to
pay, is the remainder of my fee for hav-
ing you made bankrupt. It's only a
trihe of $780," said the lawyer, with q
smile. 'FYou know that your discharge
as a bankrupt only relieved you Of those
debts which were included in your sched-
ule of liabilities"

ed and am / really poor, unfortunate,
disgraced bankrupt asked the client as
he caressed his nose with his right hand
''You are a bankrupt" responded the
lawyer, land cannot be compelled to pay
any Of the debts except my little fee."
"And l must pay another $500 to you
for having me made a miserable bank
rupt?' inquired the stout man, with some
show Of emotion.
''That's about the way the case now
stands" impatiently replied the lawyer.
"You may recollect," remarked the new
bankrupt, ''that / asked you to leave
little room on the end of the paper on
which you wrote the name Of my credit
ors, so that l could add to the list any
others that might happen to think Of.
''Yes, yes, l remember that incident"
retorted the lawyer, "but it is too late to
make any additions to that list now"

of my creditors will find his name and
the exact amount Of his claim on that
list. Every one is there"

lawyer.

he slipped on the little finger of his fat
hand diamond ring, "but let me explain
myself After you filed the list Of my
creditors with the other law papers l
went back to the court and just added
your name to the schedule of my debts.
If you will look at the list, you will find
that the court has discharged me from
my $500 indebtedness to you, Lawyer
Highprice."
Before the lawyer had recovered from
the shock the newly discharged bankrupt
pulled from one of his pockets huge dia-
mond horseshoe pin, fastened it in his
neck scarf and left the lawyers Office

"Have you ever met a woman who ex-
