The proceedings were as calm and
dignified as an informal gathering OF
Quakers and when it was all over the
body resumed the routine without a
sigh.
The question came up on the mo-
tion of Senator Ralston that senate
bill No. z, the Donlan initiative and
referendum measure which had been
made the special order for o'clock,
be made the special order for Thurs
day at 2 o'clock. Senator Maddox
moved substitute that the senate go
into committee of the whole with SEN
ator Ralston in the chair, for consid-
Grafton of the Donlan bill and the
substitution prevailed.
The bill provided that the enacting
clause of every law should be ''Be It
enacted by the people of Montana" :"
This was amended so that clause will
read: BE it enacted by the people OF
the state of Montana"
Here Senator Durham sent up an
amendment to the clause providing
the form of the ballot on the proposed
amendment to the constitution. He
proposed to insert the words, safely

The republicans took the joke with
grin, which Senator Whipple helped
along with suggestion that the words
safely guarded should be inserted

after the majority got over their
laughter they with one accord voteu

voted to recommend the bill for pas

the report was adopted by the senate.

Goodwin Smiths Good Work.

A unique figure is that of Goodwin
Smith of Toronto, who was 80 years
old the other day He has lived and
done public service in the United
States, Canada and England, and en-
joys a large share of esteem and af-
lection in each country. Many years
ago he took front rank as a scholar
and thinker. A Toronto paper says of
him: 'In the country in which for
much more than a generation Goodwin
Smith has made his home he has
borne his full part in the fray OF
human affairs, sometimes on the win

Thouqht Aunt About Due.

Sir Edward Monson, the veteran
English diplomat, who is now visit
ing America, served under Lord Lyons
on Washington under Lincoln's ad-
ministration, and has many interest
ing stories of Lincoln to relate.
"a distinguished old woman" he
said the other day, "once called on
Lincoln and rallied and stormed over
some fancied wrong that she had suf-
fered at the governments hands.
MIR. Lincoln listened to her po-
litely, he talked to her in the kindly

after she was gone, he turned to me
and said:

'Kittie, you're to take this medi-

But the woman only stared. Dent
waited a moment; then, setting down
the cup of water, he reached over and
took the woman in his arms Then,
sitting on the edge of the bed, he held
her in his lap and, forcing the tablet
between her teeth, after a mixture of
force and persuasion, succeeded in
getting her to swallow it. Then, plac-
ing her upon the bed again he drew
the covering carefully about her and
sat down near by. still halding one of
her small hands which he began
stroking tenderly.
Under this rhythmic rubbing and
the influence of the narcotic Dent had
given, Kittie soon fell asleep and was

THE EAR OF THE COURT.
Counsel at Last Had Got What He
Desired.

Counsel at Last Had Got What He
Desired.
Many years ago, when Hugh L.
Bond was Judge of the United States
Circuit Court, and was holding term
of the court in Raleigh, N. c., the
late Henry A. Gillian, afterward
Judge of the Superior Court of this
state, appeared as counsel in some of
the cases that were being tried before
the Baltimore Judge During these
trials the rulings of the court were
uniformly against the clients of Judge
Gillian, and frequently Judge Bond
would say to Judge Gillian that there
was no merit in his contentious and
instruct him to proceed to something
else.
After the session of the court had
been concluded, Col. John w. Hins-
dale, one of the leading lawyers of
the court. gave a dinner to Judge
Bond, and invited all the Raleigh
lawyers who had attended the
court
In the meantime Col. Hinsdale had
asked Judge Bond what was his ia
vorite dinner dish and had been told
hogs head and turnip sallett."
Judge Bond occupied the head of
the table, and noticing the dish of
hogs head and turnip sallett imme-
diately before him had the waiter
present the same to Judge Gillian
with his compliments. The waiter
did so, and Judge Gillian seized the
knife and commenced to saw on the
hogs ear, remarking at-the time that
this was the first time during the
week that he had had the ear of the
court."-New York Times.

FRUITFUL FURNACES
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.


Recent advices from France state
that Prof. Moissan. the eminent sci
enlist and inventor, has actually sue
ceeded in making genuine diamonds
and rubies- He employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace. which has
been SO improved that a degree of
heat an-be produced. approaching the
extreme temperatures, which were un-
doubtedly factor in the formation of
minerals and gems in the interior OF
the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size. weighing 10 or Is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts of the sci
entists have been very small, but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright. and
natures own product
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series of
new compounds. Probably the one OF
most value to mankind at large is Cal
cium Carbide. The simple applica-
ton of water to Calcium Carbide gen.
crates the gas Acetylene, which is
now being commonly used for light
ing.
The peculiar merits of Acetylene

die power, ease of installation, eco
nomy and its adaptability for lighting
buildings of every description, regard

Madison. wis. Women Voted.

Few women had ever voted at the
elections at Madison, Wis, until this
summer, when the ladies made up
their minds that there must be a new
high school and that bonds must be
issued for the purpose. The men
voted a majority of 1877 against the
bonds, but the women voted a major
ity of 421 in favor resulting in total
majority of 2S4 for the bonds. The
opposition will contest, saying that
women may not vote for bond issues,
although they may vote for members
of school boards.

Iron Frame for a Gate.

G. TIN framing a gate with one
inch pipe, would it be satisfactory to
use elbows in the corners instead of
bending them? Are the tubes usually
filed with sand?
In making the frame of a gate with
iron pipe, bend the pipe to shape de-
sired, and use unions where pipes
join. By filling pipe with sand there
is less danger of kinking the pipe
when bending it. If stay braces are
used band of iron clamp with rivets
through the pipe is used
