BUILT FROM WRECKED BOAT.
Queer Story Of Business Building in miles
City, Montana.

Recent Improvements in Miles City
have brought to public notice the history
of one of the most remarkable buildings IN
Montana. 1t is on one of the principal
business streets of the place and IS known
as the Steamboat Block.
It is we'll named, as it is constructed OF
wood from one of the steamers that used
tcply the Yellowstone river. The steamer
was called the Yellowstone also, after the
river it was navigating. TWAS something
like thirty years when the steamer 4el-
lowstone made its last trip up as far as
Miles CITY. It struck on the rocks at the
rapids lust below the town. Nothing
could be done to get her off and she was
abandoned. George Miles, a son of Gen.
Miles, bought the vessel as she lay a
wreck.
From large sections of the hull was built
the house which has just been exposed oy
the march of improvement. 1t IS TWO
stories in height, the upper floor oeing
lust like the cabin of the steamer had
been. Miles utilized the staterooms
where the passengers were wont to sleep
to make hunks for travellers or steady
roomers in the upper part OF his remark
able building. The lower floor has been
used for store purposes.
Miles still owns the building, and 1t is a
source of revenue. 1t promises to outlast
some of the more modern structures IN
Miles City, such is the enduring quality OF
{ the stuff of which it is built.-Anaconda

A STORY OF SANDBAR FERRY.
How Trouble Between Two South Georgia
LAWYERS Was Averted.

Not far below Augusta, Ca, the Sa-
vannah river is crossed by an antiquated
fatboat, hanging by cable from post
far up stream and impelled from bank to
bank by the action of the current. This
is the Sandbar ferry, and from time i'm.
memorial, until the abolition of duelling,
the banks of the river on both sides were
bloody fields of so-called honor.
Gentlemen of South Carolina, having
quarrelled, crossed in the rickety flat-boat
with their seconds and fought their bat
ties on Georgia soil, and Georgians went
over to the Palmetto State for their
shootings or sword play.
Thither, one day, went a solemn pro-
cession of principals, seconds and wit
nesses, most of them representatives OF
the Georgia bar. They were more
solemn than usual, for the fight they
were to witness was to wipe out the most
terrible of insults. Two we'll known
lawers of Rome, who had been lifelong
friends, had fallen out and one of them
in the height OF a dispute, had reviled the
other with all the terrible words he could
lay tongue to.
There had been score of men present
to hear and to prevent an Immediate
shooting, and now the two devoted
friends, turned enemies, rode with party
toward the fatal ground were they were
to make target practice on each other
Each of them was downcast and gloomy,
for at heart they were devoted. But the
insult was deadly, and there seemed no
escape with honor from the encounter.
When they arrived at the ferry, how
ever, the fatboat was on the other side.
A second picked up the horn from the
post and blew it Justify. Over and over
he sounded it, until from distant field the
aged ferryman came sauntering leisurely
down to his craft.
The too lawyers sat side by side on
their horses and watched his slow prog
ress. The strain grew momentarily
heavier and the men gloomier. At last
one of them-the insulted-c stand it
no longer.
"Lim," he said impulsively, "befo' we
60 out of Georgia, I want you to answer
me one question. How did you ever come
to apply all those epithets to me?"
"Charley," said Jim solemnly, II did ii
in my professional capacity"
The face of the man who had been In
suited lighted up with smile of great
relief, and he held out his hand.
"Iknew it! I knew itp' he cried. "Shakt
on it! Who ever heard of holding a law
yer responsible for what he said in hi
professional capacity? 1t would be mad
ness, sub, mas dness!'

A Cruel Experiment.

Miss Estelle Reed, the general superin
tendent of the governments Indian
schools, was talking about cruelty, says
the Buffalo Enquirer
"Cruelty," she said, "is lack of imagin.
alton. 1t isn't true that only savages are
cruel. All people without developed
minds minds capable of sympathy-are
cruel. Children, until they have learned
to think, are cruel invariably"
Miss Reed smiled.
"Let me tell you about little boy" she
said. ITO this little boy there were given
two images of plaster, coated on the out
side with pink sugar. He wanted to cal
the images, but he was warned on no &C.
count to do so.
"'They are poison he was told. Il
you eat them it will kill you
"However, the little boy was dubious
He had been cheated before this by grow
up people. Day after day he asked if h
might not eat the images. Finally h
had young friend, Richard Howe, tt
spend the day with him, and that night i
was discovered that one of the images hat
disappeared.
"His mother, nearly frantic, rushed t.
him.
"'Harold,' said she, where is that pinl
image?'
Harold frowned as he answered def
nantly:
"I gave it to Richard Howe, and if he's
alive tomorrow, I'm going to eat th'
other one myself.'"

The colors of Syria.
From the World Today.

The crowning glory OF a Syrian land
scape, however, is Its brilliant coloring
Before left America 1t seemed to me that
the vivid tints of Tissot's pictures must be
exaggerated, but they fall short of the re-
ality. OF course, no artist can hope to
reproduce the marvellous warmth and depth
OF the colors In an eastern landscape, or 10
initiate the vague, soft hues that are SO
characteristic Of the Syrian atmosphere;
but 1t would be almost as impossible for
him to find tints that were overbright or
to arrange them In an order too daring
to be matched by the Syrian sun.
The very nights are full of color The
moonlight is so brilliant that It is easy to
read guide book: and, even on q moon
less night, and In the wilderness, far from
any citys glare, the starlight has been
so bright that could see the second ham
oe my watch and could find quite a dts
tinct shadow cast by Jupiter. A moo, lit
scene at home gives only the impressi an
OF light spots and dark spots: everythine
is black or white or gray, but here In SYRIA
the moonlight shows all the colors of the
rainbow. The green of the trees and grain
the red of the tile roofs, the blue OF sea
and sky, and the white of the distant noun

KEEPING HOUSE IN VENICE.
Something About the liner House.
hold Mysteries There.

From the Pilgrim.
Any one who keeps house in Venice will
find that the picturesqueness OF surround
tugs Is carried out In all the details of life.
The kitchen, for instance, will be more
primitive than any kitchen you have yet
seen, II your apartment Is anything short
of palace. It is apt to be spacious
room, around the top OF which runs row
of shelves filled with pewter plates. There
are rows Of copper pots and saucepans, and
there are fascinating earthen dishes and
casseroles of every size. and in the inven-
tory there Is sure to be round wooden
board with a stubby handle, to turn out
the steaming polenta on. Polenta Is moth
ing in the world but an excelqently made
cornmeal mush-a cornmea1 mush with the
mushlness ieft out, Tor to be perfect polenta
must have consistency. Besides the exact
proportions OF water, salt and meal, po-
lenta, to be good, must be stirred continu-
ally. and long cudgel for this purpose Is
another item in the kitchen furnishing.
Our poienta was cooked in copper pot
hung on a crane over a wood fire. and this
brings me to the cooking arrangements.
There is no stove in this Venetian kitchen;
there is nothing to cook on by means
which an American cook could turn out a
square meal There is a wide soapstone
hearth, the height of the ordinary range,
surmounted by an imposing hood. On
this hearth. without aid of andirons is
built a wood fire. The sticks are long, and
only one end is lighted-the other end ex-
tends out on the edge of the hearth, and
as the lighted end burns down the stick is
pushed back into the flame. On either side
of this fire stands fornello an earthen-
ware vessel, something like large square
fower-pot. In these made CHARCOAL
fires quite large enough to heat two fiat
irons at the same time. This is all the
cooking arrangement: there is no place for
roasting or baking No bread, cake or bis
cult IS ever made In an Italian house If
you wish to roast a turkey or large bird
you send 1t in its pan, with the butter for
It's basting, to the baker, who roasts 1t to
a beautiful brown for from to 8 cents.
The smaller fowls are roasted in one OF
the large copper casseroles. and by turning
and twisting and basting necessarily the
bird is as perfectly roasted as one would
wish. There is 10 place for keeping any
thing hot on this embryonic range, and
with only three places for cooking some
thing must be cooked first and set aside
to make way for other dishes On the
other hand, there could not be more eco
nomical way of cooking. In very few
moments the charcoal fire burns at full
pitch, and If one wishes for Just enough
and no more to broil q chop one may have
1t without having to light fire SUFFICIENT
to cook an entire dinner, as one would
have to do with US. for the fuel for an
American kitchen range costs anywhere
between % and 35 cents day. In Italy
fuel. dncluding both wood and charcoal,
costs 10 cents a day for family Of mod
crate size.

The Frigate Constitution.

From the Churchman.
The magnif1cence OF the new navy must
not blind patriots to the glories OF the old
Pain. not without humiliation, must be felt
throughout the country at the news which
comes from Charlestown navy yard that
the Constitution long though not quite ac-
curately known as the first ship Of the
American navy, and better still as "Old
Ironsides.' is in danger of sinking at her
dock
Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar was able to
take a place of honor at the great jubilee
naval review, and promises to be inspi-
ration still to generations Of English youth.
Republics are proyerbially less grateful.
Half century ago 1t was proposed to break
up the old ship as unfit for service, and
only the indignant inspiration of Oliver
Wendell Holmes "Old Ironsides' saved the
vessel which now carries, inscribed on its
quarterback with a noble pathos, the his.
torfc words of Lawrence. Don't give up
the ship But, though kept the Constitu-
ton was not preserved as she might have
been. Some years ago. at a time when the
country was spending SEC, 0,00O, 600 year on
It's navy, hardly more than half as much
as now, a bill was passed by Congress au-
thorizing the Secretary Of the Navy to re-
store the Constitution, as far as might
be. to its original form, removing the hous-

and the rigging, masts and spars, If the

plish 1t this mute witness to the greatest
