New Topographic Maps Of Montana.

A number Of sheets or quadrangles
of the topographic map of Montana.
which will eventually cover the whole
state, has just been issued by the Uni
ted States Geological Survey. The
Marysville Special Map shows that
part of Lewis and Clarke County, near
the main divide of the Rocky Noun
tains, which lies near the town of
Marysville. The mountainous topo-
graphy of the region is indicated by a
system of contour lines which also show
attitudes above sea level; the map in
dicates the position of the mine tunnels
prospects,, and irrigation calls and
bitches Of the locality. The Rosebud
and st. Xavier Quadrangles cover ad-
jacent territory in the southeast por-
tion of Rosebud County and part Of
the Crow Indian Reservation just to
the south Of the Custer and Renos
battle fields, and includes the site Of
st. Xavier Mission and Of Old Fort G.
F. Smith. This section is also rough,
and reveals rugged mountain topogra-
ply and a number of striking canyons.
There is also q Reconnaissance Map
Of the conntry along the Missouri Riv-
or In the vicinity of Great Falls. Tho
latter is a reprint Of an earlier edition
which had been exhausted. These
maps may all be had at the usual rate,

Another Ananias.

There was a crowd of calamity how
lers gathered in hotel rOtunda dur
ing the great drought of the past Sum-
mer, and each was telling the other
that all the corps would be burned up
and everybody would starve to death.
An old man, who has the reputation of
being a man who can always tell a
story better than the one just told, put
in his voice and said that the present
drought was nothing to the one they
hal when he was boy in "Car'liny.''
They all listened carefully to his
wonderful story of how so many people
|! starved to death. and how when they
cut their bodies open they found that
they had actually eaten grass before
they died. He told the story through
without interruption, but as soon as
he finished one of his listeners asked
But why did they cut open the
bodles?"
This was poser for the old man, but
after splitting refectively at spot on
the wall, he said:
why, to see what they starved tc
death on. of course.''
Then he wondered what they all
wanted him to buy the drinks for

A man talking about owning his
business. But, as a matter of fact his
business owns him. His whole life is
regulated by the demands of the busi-
ness. The time at which he rises. his
breakfast hour, the time given to
meals, are all determined by business
obligations. He rushes through lunch
because he cant spare the time from
business to eat leisurely. He won't
take rest because be is needed at the
store or office. He is in fact an abso-
ute slave to business. The results
which follow this slavery are to be
seen on every hand. Men dyspeptic,
irritable, nervous. with drawn faces,
and hollow eyes, sit at the desk or
stand behind the counter until they
collapse in fit of sickness, or are tax
en- away by heart failure. Those who
cannot escape the exactions of busi
ness will find friend in Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. II

smoothe shaven, very dark, rather
curly hair, low forehead, about five
feet six inches tall, and rather bOyish
looking. His mother and sister reside
in Clarksburg, W. Va. The Jail seems
to be little or no account.

The Smart Set for December.

The December Smart Set contains "A
signed article, stories and poems, yet
it is not so much for quantity as quail
ity that the number is notable. The
leading feature is novelette, by Ed
ward s. Van Zile, entitled How Chopin
Came to Remsen,' which is fairly hila-
rious in it's depletion of a prosaic law
yer who become suddenly seized with
the spirit and genius of the immortal
composer. 1t is at once psychologist
study and travesty on the theory of
reincarnation. Another contribution
of length is story in play form, enti-
tied The Castle -Builded,' which is
printed anonymusly, but from all the
ear marks must have been written by
someone high in social position who
is familiar with the characters and
surrounding conditions of the recog
nizable personages so pitilessly dissect-
ed. There is lot of other good read
ing in the magazine which we have
not the space to enumerate.

A Theory as to Appendicitis.

We have always, believed that the
number of cases of appendicitis in a
given community varied directly with
the number Of surgeons willing to per
form the operation. Tho hypothesis
seems to hold good in the present case.
In the far West there are few cases Of
appendicitis. 1t Is a recognized prin-
ciple in the modern practice of medi-
cine, we believe that when it is impos-
sible to increase the average number
of patients to each doctor. the next
best thing to do is to increase the mum
ber of ailments from the effects of
which the patients are likely to suffer.

For Weuk Throars.

1t has long been known to the medi.
cal fraternity that the atmosphere OF
the pine forests, if not a cure, is often.
times a preventive of consumption and
bronchial complaints. The fact has
been utilized by company of capital
lists, and this health giving balm may
be obtained by the pint. quart or gal
lon in bottles, so that with the aid of
this new product one may enjoy in his
own home many of the advantages OF
life in the forests. The new medicine,
for which many virtues are claimed, |,
is known as the essential oil of pine
needles. The oil is claimed to be a
cure for insomnia, besides being excel
lent for throat and lung troubles.
1t takes 1000 pounds of the pine
needles to make ten pounds of the es-
sential oil. All the virtue of the for
ests are said to be condensed in this
portion.
1t is well known that people trou-
bled with insomnia have been cured by
sleeping on beds of pine needles, and
that weak throats and lungs have been
healed and strengthened by merely
breathing the odor of pines. The new
medicine is supposed to have these
valuable medicinal qualities is con-
densed form.
The needles are gathered in two crops
every year. The first crop is taken in
April and the second in October. They
are FIRST subjected to a mild crushing
and are then boiled and the oil is final
ly distilled. The by product of the
process is also valuable. The fiber
which remains after the oil has been
removed may be utilized in several
ways. 1t is elastic and strong and can
be woven.
When mixed with other substances
1t makes excellent material for mat.
tresses and pillows, since it still re-
tains the odor of the pine forests

s26 In America, But SIG so In England.

Joseph Lawrence. member Of Par
lament, recently visited the United
States and on bis return to England
made an interesting report to the New
port Chamber of Commerce. The
Springfield Mass Republican says
Mr.. Lawrence told his audience that
Charles M. Schwab assured him that
the steel trust could deliver steel billets
in England for $3.50 per ton, whereas
the lowest price for which British
manufacturers could make them was
$1,000. Mr.. Schwab also informed
him, Mr.. Lawrence said, that, when
the trust had completed certain ocean
transportation arrangements now
pending, the American price would be
still lower. In addition to this state
ment, Mr.. Schwab called the attention
of Mr.. Lawrence to the fact that his
steel workers got double the wages
paid British workmen in the same line.
The steel trust charges Americans
from $26 to $27 a ton. According to
Mr.. Lawrence the steel trust could, and
the inference is that it would, sell steel
in England for S16 so per ton which Is
about $1,000 less than the trust charges
the American consumer and which is
also $3.50 per ton less than the English
manufacturers charge the English
consumer. Such figures as these speak
for themselves. They are, however,
not new variety of figures to the
people. 1t is strange that
the people have not long ago awakened
to the imposition that has been put up
on them.
