Neyy Terror For the Fourth.

Such is the degree of personal liber
ty in this great republic that mar
may manufacture what he will, except
distilled spirits, and in some states
cigarettes, even to instruments for the
torture of his fellow citizens. Thus
the head of the physics department OF
Lehigh university, evidently with in
tent to join the increasing band OF
millionaires, has invented and will put
on the Fourth of July market a cannon
which may be fired 5000 times at a
cost of but > cents. a popularity of
the instrument is that however acute
may be the sufferings of those who
cannot get beyond reach of the sound,
the boy who does the firing is in no
danger of Gcath or injury save at the
hanuS Of the distracted neighbOrs.-

FEW PENNlG> IN BUTTE.

No One Likes Them, and They All
Drift to the POstOfice.
A twelve quart pail will hold all the
pennies in Butte.
In the money drawer or cash regis
ter of nearly every business house in
Butte there is tin box back in one
corner, and in it are pennies. When
the box is full the merchant puts it
under his arm and climbs the hill to
the new postotiice, unloads his accu-
mutation and carries home stamps for
it.
When a child comes into store and
buys and proffers pennies in payment
the pennies are forthwith cast into the
little box.
AS a general thing the pennies given
out in change in the pOstOffice seldom
get outside the building Before leaving
the building the owner Of the pennies
decides that he or she would rather
have stamps for them, and the ex-
change is made.
So the pennies in circulation in
Butte hover about the postoffice. Once
in awhile an arrival from the east
scatters them among several stores,
but eventually the little disks find their
way to the postottice. The stores do
not make change in pennies in Butte.
Some use postage stamps.
1t has not been SO long since pennies
have been given out In change at the
postoffice. Two or three years ago
man bought money order at the
Butte postoffice. He had 2 cents in
change coming to him, but there were
no pennies with which to pay it. He
complained to the postoftice depart
ment at Washington, and then came
an order directing that a supply OF
pennies be obtained and change made.
Since then there has been pennies in
Butte, Helena and most of the larger
offices in Montana. But the merchant
as a general thing has little use for
pennies, and 1t will probably be long
time before they come into circulation
in that part of the northwest.
There are no penny newspapers III
Montana. Children always have a
nickel to buy candy, sometimes more.
There are no penny values shown for
sale in that city.
The merchants think the pennies a
nuisance. The public look at the mat
ter in the same light, and if 1t had not
been for disgruntled buyer of mon
ey order who failed to appreciate that
If the cents had been coming the 9th
er way nothing would have been said
about it the probabilities are that pen
MES would be fewer in Butte and other
Montana cities than they are today

Washing WOoIen Dresses.

Flannel, cashmere or almost any all
wool dress goods that are to be made
over may be washed without shrinking
or fading if handled properly.
Take the garment apart and brush it
until the dust and lint are removed.
Use soft water and heat it until it Is q
little warmer than new milk. Dissolve
enough fine soap in it to make strong
suds and wash the cashmere or flannel
in it, just as you would wash anything
else. Rinse In water heated to the
same mperature.-McCall's Magazine.

The Kitchen LinOleuni. .

If the kitchen floor is painted or COW
cred with oilcloth 1t will save much
cleaning Oilcloth and linoleum should
be washed in the ordinary way with
warm water and soap, then wiped over
again with clean, warm water and
dried with a soft cloth. If water is
left on the oilcloth 1t Is inclined to rot
it; therefore it Is important that 1t
should be dried thoroughly. Turpen-
tine and linseed oil mixed form a good
preparation for restoring the bright
ness to oilclOth which has become dull.

Extraordinary School Tax.

Irrigon school district holds the
banner for the highest special school
tax levy of any district in the county
and very probably of the state. The
levy was made last year for the pur-
pose of building a school house in Ir-
rigon and was placed at so mills. AS
the valuation of property in the dis
trlct Is above $4,000 the amound OF
funds derived from the levy will give
It $3742.15. an ample amount to build
a very good building, or rather will
probably pay for the house which is
already built.
Evidently the Irrigonites intended
to get even with the o. R. & N. Co
which pays much the greater part OF
the taxes of the district. The levy
costs that company just $2S43, the
Title Guarantee & Trust Co. $500, and
Mr.. Holbrook, proprietor of the town
site. $2O3 for special school purposes
alone. They don't believe in doing
things by halves in Irrigon.-Irrlgon

One OF the much discussed questions
of the day ON which there are almost
ms many opinions as individuals Is the
quantity Of food one should eat. Doc
tors all agree that the majority OF peo
ple eat too much. Babies from the day
OF their birth are forced to eat too
much, and they grow up with this arti-
ficial appetite. The most reasonable
estimate yet made is probably that
which fixes onetwentieth of the aver
age weight of the body as the average
daily quantity required. If you weigh
140 pounds you should consume seven
pounds of food, This includes drink
as well as solid food. But 1t Is ridicu-
lous to set down hard and fast rule,
Such quantity might kill some, and
there Is a case on record of man
wasting away on diet of seven
or eight pounds of food day. He
cut down his diet to three-quarters OF
pound of liquid and the same oi
solid food, and as a result he grew
stout and lived to ripe old age.
