Improved Porch Chairs.

A big, easy porch chair is a COM
fort in itself, but if anything can be
added to make it still more Of COM
fort let us not say a word about
painting the lily or gliding the rose,
but go straightway and put on every
improvement possible. Chairs can be
found in the big stores with some
patent attachments, but such convent
enccs are not common, nor are they
adapted to the needs of home-makers
with small purses. Such should set
their wits to work to cOntrive how
the plain chair can be turned into an
arsenal of convenlences.
First, head rests and foot stools
according to individual taste. Many
persons abominate a pad at the top
of q chair who find much comfort in
a soft cushion at the small of the
back. Fasten the foot-rest to the
chair, as shelf hinged on is ready
when it is wanted, while hassock If
visible at all, is sure to be at the
other end Of the piazza.
Fit one of the broad arms with a
shelf to hold book or writing pad.
This is more convenient if arranged
to drop when not in use.
Fasten firmly to the other arm a
pocket extending its full length of
some stout, pretty material which
viii not fade in the sun. A fiat nee
dle-book and an equally fiat pin
CiI ion at aithpr ond inst iDSido tho
pocket will be handy for the indUstri-
Gus, who will want the pocket deep
enough TO hold the needlework which
can be done on the porch. Readers
will slip the last magazine in it with
n note book and pencil
A chair fitted up like this will be
found to have doubled its usefulness
without adding appreclably to its
cOst.-The Ladies' World.

The Agricultural Department is
about to publish a soil map that viii
enable the farmer, wherever he is To-
Gated, to determine just what crops
will bring him the largest returns in
money. The map is to cover the whole
of the United States, and will be on
such a scale that every ten-acre patch
will be represented by one-eighth Of
an inch square. But each farmer will
be able to procure a chart of his own
nighborhood on a larger scale, so that
he can arrange his planting in accord
ance with the suggestions which it
conveys.

For the extensive house painting so
often done at this season remember a
quiet tone is invariably to be preferred
to riotous one; bright, gay colors,
while attractive in themselves, are
often not suitable; that too great So
briefly of tint is not pleasant and that
harsh, glaring colors are out of place.
Avoid too much color, too great varie-
ty and too great contrasts, and If in
a row Of houses consider the effect
compared with the other houses.

The annual report on savings banks
for Paris, France, for 1900 has just
been published. 1t shows that at the
end Of that year the number Of de-
posits was 1O,316,OOO, the amount of
deposits being 4,336OOO,OOOf. In 1882
there were 4,645,OO0 depositors, with
deposits amounting to 1,S02, 900 O00f.,
and the increase has since been unin-
terrupted In 1882 1913 Frenchmen
out of every 1000 were depositors. The
proportion is now 267 per 1000 OF the
deposltors, twenty-eight per cent are
minors, sixteen per cent. artisans, tif-
teen per cent owners Of land or per-
sons without q profession, eleven per
cent. day or agricultural laborers, and
ten per cent. domestics

Circles of amethysts or pearls are
worn as buckles on some OF the new
fancy slippers.
Terra Gotta is one of the tints in
which pongee has made its appear
ance this season.
WedgwOod buttOns-white figures on
blue ground, set IN a rim of dull gold
or silver are among the latest addi-
tions.
Oriental embroidery is effectively
used for trimming silk and cotton
shirt waists. A strip is placed down
the front plcat and used also for stock
and cuffs.
Some Of the neatest street parasols
are Of white silk, made without frills,
but hemsttched around the edge. The
silk Is often embroidered with polka
dots or small figures, and the handles
are Of natural wood
A flannel neglgee is made smoothly
fitting over the shoulders and bust.
1t is cut low at the throat and finished
around that and down the front with
a strip Of white flannel with silk en-
broideTy In colors, a Persian effect

The latest fancy for girls evening
gowns is a trimming OF rose petals.
They border the hounces at the hem,
and a row Of the petals is carried
round the back and front. A strap Of
roses is carried over the shoulder and
supplemented by ruches formed of rose

"There is always n scarcity Of pen
nies in the West says an official Of
the Philadelphia Mint, "and a super
abundance Of them in the East Every
little while the banks out there set up
a hoot and cry for pennies, but our
banks here are ever glad to rid thsm-
selves of their surplusage in these
coins 1t is difficult to see why such
a state of things should be. I'm sure
a penny is just as dear to the Eastern
er's heart as to the Westerner's, one
would no more throw a penny away
than would the other, yet here we al
ways have too many pennies; there
they never seem to have enough"

There are very few men tolling, to-
day, with shovels and wheelbarrows,
or laboring in the smoke and fumes Of
the upper platforms Of the large iron
and steel plants Of America. Gravita-
ton and electric power have abolished
nearly all the hard labor, and science
has banished much, if not all, Of the
smoke and fumes. Much Of the work
can be done by men over fifty as well
as by men one-half that age-an i'm
portant, interesting, and hopeful fact
to many who are trying to face the
world after youths brightest flowers
and ambitions have faded. Brute
strength or ability to wheel heavy
loads, is no longer the main qualifica-
ton for effective work in a steel or
iron plant Judgment, education, a
sense Of responsibility, loyalty to
work, and an interest in the valuable
machinery, which a man has in charge,
count more to-day, than strength, and
it is all due to the inventive talent Of
the country, which has done so much
for labor-saying machinery, remarks

tune, IL possible there should be one
for each season. If there is any
money at all at hand, II is a good plan
to get two to start with, one for hard
wear ana the other for a best gown.
On some figures of average size ready
made clothes look well and those
figures. Of course, are n boon to the
possessors. for many of the gowns in
the shops are remarkably cheap.
When n purchased suit has to be al
tered and several dollars paid for the
alteration. that minute 1t IS no longer
a bargain, for taking up the shoulder
in order to make the waist shorter will
throw the whole garment out Of place.
and 1t will at once lose its look of
style. A better plan is to have, II pos
sible, a suit made to order by a tailor
not a dressmaker. 1t can be of the
plainest description, but the material
must he good II one cannot afford
two suits. one suit with two skirts will
be satisfactory; one skirt long and
made more elaborately than the other
will quite transform the costume, pro-
vided the jacket is satisfactory, For
the moment the Eton jacket is consid.
cred the best to choose. but for econ
omy's sake 4 longer coat is better
made more on the REFER style, either
single or double breasted. No conspic-
uous fashion for a gown should be
chosen, no material that is very dis
tinctive. and nothing especially strlk-
ing in any way, that the gown may
be noticeable only for its beauty of
finish.-Harpers Bazaar

Taxation In Norway is becoming Op-
pressiye, and living expensive in pro-
portion. An example will illustrate
this: Two banks having about the
same capital and doing about the same
amount of business pay taxes at the
rate of S144O and S15,740 per annum
respectively. The former of these two
Institutions is in Central Europe, the
latter in Norway.

From a general point of view, the
markets of Butte have presented Moth
ing SEN: ational in the way of speculation
this week. That sentiment for acquir-
ing large money for a small exchange of
goods which prevailed among shippers
ami buyers a few months ago has van
ished into thin air, and each dealer is
now acting for himself with a keen reali-
"a. ION that the season for making big
profit cut of cornerad goods is a. thing
of the past. They are serving the pub
Mc in open competition, cutting here and
there and increasing there and here in
an effort to exchange their ares for as
much coin as possible and as fast as
possible. "Quick sales and small pro-
fits" is the order with most of them.
This week a few articles of food that
made their exit from the field of compe-
tititm last fan have executed their regu-
lar spring how to TIE consumers of Butte,
and although they have come pretty high
they are not permitted to pose for effect
any great length OF time. Among these
articles are lettuce quoted at % cents
per pound who :sae; spinach, 10 cents;
cauliflower, 81 % per crate; green onions
40 cents per dozen wholesale, and green
peas. 25 cents per pound. They are all
ca iforna p. piucts and are in great de-
mand.
Eggs are much weaker, the quotation
wholesale, being $3.50 per case as against
IS 90 week ago. This Of course, has
reference to the refrigerator or state
brand. Fresh ranch are drawing abou,
as much as they did a month ago, there
being a difference of only 1-2 cents per
dozen on the retail price.

LATE ANACONDA NEWS.
DEMOCRATS CAUCUS.

The democrats held their caucuses
last night in each ward in the city and
nominated delegates to the city cOnven-
tion, which meets in their city hall next
Monday, but which are yet to receive
approval or rejection at the primaries
to be held this afternoon and evening.
The caucuses last night We're very
well attended, and in several wards
there was some spirited contests waged
between the Madden and Kelhher fac
tons. Kelliher and his friends have not
been sleeping lately; they have been at
work. They set out to capture the
caucuses from the control of the Mad
denites, and fro mthe appearance of
things they came very near doing it,
yet the opinion prevails that Madden
will pull through in the convention and
get the nomination for mayor. But the
Maddenites do not take kindly to the
way things went in some wards, and it
would not be surprising to see them run
in some opposition tickets at the pri-
mares this evening. 1t is limited, too,
that the Kelliherites may do the same
thing in the wards where the Madden
ties have the control.
Things went against Madden in the
Fifth and Sixth wards, but the unkind-
est cut of all happened over in the
Second ward, where John r. Toole, John
r. Walkup and several other old line
democrats We're turned down for dele
gates to the city convention. Toole and
Wakup did manage to get in as alter
mates, but such old war horses as Hugh
Daily, Phil Greenan, Capt. Kelly and
Dan Dwyer were denied recognition in
any capacity.
Senator ]. NJ. Kennedy ran things
just about to suit himself in the Fourth
ward, where he acted in the capacity
of chairman. 1t is an odd-looking spec
tacle to see him presiding over a meet
