and his nitro is plain white without or
nament. There are also wanting the
''dabellt.' or large fans OF peaCOCks'
feathers which are carried on Easter
Sunday. Thus SLOWLY advancing and by
the movement OF his hands signfying that
he is comforting his henediction on the
multitude. the Pope is carried 10 the front
of his throne at the further end of the
church. Descending from his 'sedia ges-
tatUria." his Holiness. after some inter
mediate ceremonies and singing, proceeds
20 bless the palms which are brought to
him from the altar This blessing IS et-
fected by his reading certain prayers. and
irCeusinc the palms three times An en-
broidered apron Is now placed over the
POpe'S knees, and the Cardinals in turn
receive a palm from him. kissing the
palm, his right hand, and knee. The
Bishops kiss the palm which they receive
and his right knee, ana the miJred abbotS
and others kiss the palm and his foot.
Palms are now more freely distributed
10y sacristans, till at last they reach those
among the lay nobility who may desire
TO have one. The ceremony concludes by
reading additional prayers. and more par
uCu!arly by chanting and singing. The
"BcDedictus qUi VENT is very finely ren-
dcred. In conclusion low mass is said
by one rf the Bishops present. and the
Pope, getting into his ''sedia geStatoria,
Is carried in the same state back to the
chapel whence he issued, and which COM

can. The entire ceremony lasts about
three hours, but many, to see 1t. endure
Among the strangers present, ladies alone
are favored with seats. but they must

CLOTHES MADE OF FISH SKINS.
tn Exhibit Showing What Siberian
Women B0.
Froru the New York sun.

Several garments made entirely Of fish
skins. and made TO be worn, too, are to
be put on exhibition soon in the Museum
u Natural History in Central Park in q
remarkable collection Of curios gathered
il Eastern Siberia by Prof. Berthold
LaufeT of the Jesup North Pacific expe-
dition. These fish-skin clothes are the
work al the women of the remote Gilyak
and Cold tribes of the River Amur, and
very odd garments they are.
The tribe live entirely by fishing and
hunting. Salmon. which ascend the river
to spawn, are their staple food. and the
salmon skins, after being treated by the
women. who are adopts, provide material
for their clothes.
First the scales are removed so carefully
that the skin j. not broken. Then the
skin is tanned and dressed to make it
durable. and finally the women sew it into
garments.
Salmon skin. when made into clothes by
the ATnUr Indians is like kid III appear
ance and softBess, but it is tougher than
kid IN fact. almost as tough rs parch-
Tent. II IS 0ycd yellow and red and indi-
go ANA some Of the garments into which
il is made are highly ornate. Curiously
enough most of the ornamentation is on
the backs
The garments are sewn together with
fine thread. also made Of fish skin. Stiu
another use to which fSh skin is put is
to decorate the boots OF both men and
women, sections OF highly COlOTed skin
being appiiqued on the elk hide OF which
tho boots are made.
One of the fish skin garments in the coli
lection is a warm weather garment, for
Il is uniined. If it had been made in
Paris IL would be called a pelisse, Its
front oTerlapS and il seems 70 have reach
ed the ankles OF the wearer
Ia color il is q deep manila yellow and
il is highly ornamented. The outer edges
are bordered with a fish skin band of
dark indigo blue. and heading this is
narrow strip OF red. Up the side seams
blue panels are appiiqued in a graceful
arabeSQue design.
The edges Of the arabesques are fasten-
"a TO the body with as minute stitches
as if sewed by a machine Bands of SIM
pier design ornament the tops of the
sleeves, and there are blue cuffs decOrat-
i've in outline.
Another gown shows three bands about
two inches wide in dark blue, yellow and
red laid close together.
This garment is further ornamented
with appliquCd scroll figures in blue, each
about TWO inches long, over the entire
surface. Near the neck, in front is a fair
imitation OF Il rooster, tail feathers and
al.

TINE PRESIDENT AND IRRIGATION.

The people of the so-called arid re-
gion have reason to believe that they
have a fast friend in President Roose-
welt as regards irrigation and that he
will do all he can TO secure national aid
in that direction. There is no question
that President Roosevelt has a better
knowledge Of the needs of this region
and the benefits to be derived from ir-
rigation than any of his predecessors,
having spent a portion of his younger
days in the eastern part Of this state.
He knows something of the productive
ness of the soil and the possibilities
that only await some general system
of irrigation, some plan that will save
the water that runs to waste early in
the spring. He fully realizes that the
reclamation of such lands is as import
ant TO the general government as TO the
states in which they are located, and
that the undertaking should not be left
TO corporations, with opportunities for
extortion in rentals.
In a letter to the national irrigation
congress, in session in Chicago last
year. he said: II believe to the last
point in the vital necessity of storing
the floods and preserving the forests,
especially throughout the plains and
Rocky mountain regions. The prob
lem of the development of the greater
west is in large part a problem of irri-
CATION. ! earnestly believe in the ma
%tional government giving generous aid
to the movement"
While il will be some advantage to
have n president in sympathy with this
undertaking. there is yet hard work to
be done TO secure favorable action by
congress. There will be prejudices to
overcome in some quarters, especially
in the Mississippi valley state which
will not look kindly on the government
aiding in bringing more competitors in
the field. But this objection will
eventually disappear, the congressman
from that region taking a broader view
of the question.
1t is not unlikely that some day the
east will have to look to this region for
some of the staple products Of the
farm, in fact Montana would be ship
ping potatoes east this year If her own
crop were not short, owing to late
frosts. In ease of an extensive drouth
or devastation by chinch bugs or grass
hoppers the far west might be able to
make up the shortage.
While we do not anticipate that irri-
CATION under national control is com
ing swiftly, it is some advantage To
have n successor To the lamented Nc
kinley who is in sympathy with the
movement and who will do what he
can to push it along.

One would think, by reading the
slush in the Helena Independent, that
nothing can check the trusts but the
ascendency of the Democratic party.
This is the same party that was GO
ing to give the country free trade, but
as soon as it gained absolute power in
all branches of the government began
to hedge, although ii went far enough
TO disturb the industries of the coun-
try. BY fooling the people it secured
more than it ever hoped to in the cleo
tion and then exhibited the white
feather. All the party wants now, as
then, is the offices, the trusts can go
on, like Tennyson's brook, forever. The
people have been fooled once too often
by Democratic pretensions.

Like the character in the play OF

perjured testimony of some of their
witnesses, who were probably greater
liars than 'old Bill JONES'" who had
no equal in the neighborhood in which
he lived. but with whom prevaricating

IEAChERS' INSHIuIES.

III seems the matter OF closing the
public schools TO enable teachers to at
tend county institutes is entirely dis
c%retionary with the school boards of
the various districts. This was made
clear in the controversy arising be-
tween the state superintendent and the
trustees Of the Great Falls district,
who refused to close the schools for
that purpose, or who found that they
were not obliged to do so after con-
sulting the attorney general. In view
of these facts the state superintendent
is in favor of having the law amended
so that institutes can be held prior to
the opening of the fall term. But this
would operate to cut short the vacation
period of all teachers, which is likely
TO create a rumpus. Upon this point
Mr.. Welch says:
THE present system is a sort of fash
ionable robbery. There is no reaso
whatever why teachers who are paid
ioi WIN ShouId bt Idlu loi htlthuihB
the institutes. There are a great many
teachers here who come out from the
east simply because the pay is better,
and they go back there as 500 as the
schools close. Naturally they do not
want their vacation cut short, as IL
would be il the institutions were held
before the opening of the schools. The
law, however, operates in their favor
as it nov is, and the thing to do is to
change it,"
We cannot endorse the above view.
We believe the benefits derived from
the institutes fully compensate for the
weeks cessation Of the schools. How
can trustees of the various school dis
tricts compel teachers to attend insti-
tutes at their own inconvenience and
expense? Institutes are scattered over
a period Of a month at least, and il such
we're not the case the state superin-
tendent and instructors would not be
able TO visit the sessions in the various
counties. II they could all be held on
the same date, say the last week In
August. it would simplify matter,
somewhat, but this would prove i'm
practicable.
Teachers institutes are not only in
structive and beneficial to teachers, bu.
to parents and scholars as well, indi
rectly and directly, as many of thu
older scholars and patrons attend
part of the sessions when convenient
This question should be looked upoI
from a liberal and patriotic stand
!, point. No doubt over half of tn
teachers of the state would be glad u
r forego the effort they are compelled I
make in attending these institutes
Some of them travel long distances a
I considerable expense, and althoug
their salaries go on they are at create
y expense than they would be were the
to remain in their respective schoc
I rooms. 1t is no gala week to the ms
t jority OF them. In fact, many of ther
work harder during institute wee
e than in any like period of the schoC
r term. At least it is so with those VIII
r are anxious TO impart information an
a show themselves worthy Of the hig
h duties imposed upon them. We beliey
n week of the school term could well
d given TO the Institutes, and IL inadvii
able to be made mandatory, the
school trustees should take u liberI
e view Of the question and make the col
c%ession. Otherwise teachers institute
are likely TO be abandoned.
