them is la boratory work in Psychology,
under the able guidance OF Prof. j. NJ
Hamilton of Missoula. who has had
wide experience in the great psychology
icaI laboratory of Harvard u University,
and whose long years of work in the
pubic schools will give point and value
to the methods suggested by laboratory
work. 1t is fascinating study that

and modern scientific research has laid
bare many of its heretofore undreamed-
of secrets. The psychological laboratory
and it smethods will be one of the best
of the features offered during the year.
Montana is proud of her school sys-
tens with a just pride. and the estab-
lishmant of the normal school. for the
preparation of teachers for their i'm
pnrtant work, is one of it's best features.

flying the grounds of the Parmly Billings
Memorial library Is being pushed by the
building committee. The library which
is being built by Mr.. Frederick Billings,
Of New York. as memorial to his broth
or, Parmly Billings, Is one of the finest
buildings of it's kind in the state. 1t
has been in the course of construction
for the past year and half. and is not
yet completed. Although no time has
been definitely set for the dedication of
the building, it Is thought the event will
take place some time during June. when
the Billings family will come out from
New York accompanied by few of
their friends.
This city Is certainly fortunate in hav-
ing such a beautiful structure. and it's
thanks is due the Billings family. When
Mr. Billings first talked of building the
library, he spoke of donating the sum
of $4,000, but by the time the structure
is completed it will have cost it's donor
close to s25,00O.
In addition to the building. Mr.. Bill
ings has kindly consented to supply the
furnishings. which are to be of the fin
est oak. Already the Billings family
has sent several hundred volumes of fine
books, and they promise to be regular
contributors to the library.
Yesterday letter was received from
Mr.. Billings in which he stated that he
had shiDped several fine pictures for use
in the furnishing of the building. they
comprise the following: 1.-THE Pyramid
of Gizeh and the Caravan Starting from
It." "The Acropolis," ''The Parthenon<
THE Coliseum" 1.-THE Castle of st.

II coffee is spilled on linen, the stains
can be removed by soaking the part
for II hours in clear cold water to
which little borax has been added.
After you have washed and ironed
your ribbons draw them swiftly under
the flatiron, holding It on one edge. Do
this two or three times and your ribbon
will not be stiff, but soft and pliable.
To wash very yellow or grimy things
make an emulsion of kerosene, clear
limewater and turpentine in equal
parts. Shake them together until
creamy, then add a cupful to a boiler
full of clothes and boil for half an hour.
Aeetic acid concentrated vinegar
will restore colors that have been in

Raleigh. FaxorIte Tipple.

Sir Walter Raleigh seems to have had
a pretty taste in stimulants, to judge
by his cordial water" the recipe for
which is copied from a cookbook near
ly 300 years old. This is how Sir Wal
ter concocted his favorite drink:
''Take n gallon of strawberries and
put them into n pint of aqua vitae
(brandy). Let them stand so four or
five days. Strain them gently out and
sweeten the water as you please with
fine sugar or else with perfume"
Queen Elizabeth was exceedingly
fond of perfumes. and, according to
this old book, her favorite scent was
made in this manner: Take eight
spoonfuls OF compound water, the
weight OF twopence in fine powdered
sugar and boil it on hot embers or Goals
softly. Add half an ounce of sweet
marjoram, dry it in the sun. the weight
of twopence of powdered benjamin
benzoinO. This perfume is very good
and sweet for the time"

other trades failed he could get his Iiv-
ing by writing the Lords Prayer on a

Gray, Tom Moore, Leigh Hunt and Sir
Walter Scott all used running hands,
which were legible without any mark

said of the writings of Anthony Troll
lope and Professor Tyndall, none, per-
haps, of these writer's being much
given to subtlety of expression.
Carlyle, on the other hand, is said to
have produced the most untidy and
awful scribble that ever puzzled a COM

retains the remaining 10 per cent.

The lemon contains various acids.
citric acid among them. with citrate of

be due to n lack of potash salts in the
blood, we see how substances like lem
