Eutte is in Need of Dressmakers.

Mrs. Artemus Jones, of Butte,
Mont, makes pathetic plant. 1t is
that Butte is in need of more dress
makers. "There are so few dress
makers here" says Mrs. Jones, that
the problem is serious one for every
woman in the city 1t is impossible
almost to get q satisfactory frock, as
our dressmakers are oyerworked.
Knowing they have the situation in
their hands, they have become auto
Gratis. We women of Butte are all
slaves to our dressmakers, and the
sEast would earn our eternal gratitude
by sending us a score or more women
competent In the business. There is
another incentive to dressmakers to
go West. An unmarried woman in
Butte Is curiosity. as men are In the
great majority in that bustling city

Cooking School.

Travelling cooking schools have re-
Gently been instituted in Germany
for the benefit of farmers daughters.
The Bavarian Farmers Association
was the first to establish these
schools. and they chose nuns as teach
ers. The association pays the teach
ers and most of the other expenses
so that the cost to the pupils is very
small. 1t is said that these travelling
schools have several other advantages
besides their accessibility. The teach.
ings can be adapted to local condi
tions and the pupils can at once put
into practice what they have learned

beauty and JOY to them that will lift
them for a moment out of the COM

history of the making OF the tariff
OF 1909, and the results as embodied
In the completed bill.
In the first place 1t was recogniz-
ed that the bill must bring increased
revenue to the Government, and it
Is estimated that this increase will
amount to at least forty millions OF
dollars although this sum may not bt
equaled,or on the contrary it may be
exceeded, according to the operation
of Industrial activity.
1t is quite possible. however, that
the large increase expected may not
come wholly from an increase OF i'm
portations but rather from a truer
valuation of imports than has been
the case for many years. This will
be due to the establishment OF the
new Customs Court, which will see
to It that valuations are in accord
ance with the provisions of the bill
Regarding the increases and reduc-
tions Of the new bill IT was shown
by Mr.. Payne by tabulated figures
that in the consumption value of
articles on which rates OF duty have
been increased and decreased, where
the amount of production can be as
certained, the duty was decreased up
on articles of consumption amountin
In value to about five billions of dol
lars, while the duty was increased
upon articles of consumption to the
value of about eight hundred and

increases nearly six hundred millions
were upon Injuries or articles of

AT THE CHURCHESs


II was an eminently practical SER
mon the Rev. ID. c. Wright preached
to the congregation OF Grace Episco-
pal church yesterday morning. lie
said spiritual development does not
come from constant meditation and
withdrawal from contact with the
world; but from living a Christian
life among others. whore the light
may shine out. and other lives be
influenced and made better by it,
Christianity measures man by
the effect of his life on the lives
around him, said Dr. ID. c. Wright.
In the east the man, who is subtle
and can get the better of his fellow
men as well as circumstances. is
highly regarded; otner countries
look upon the man of physical and
mental strength as the best; but
Christ pointed out the man. whose
LIES influence is good on those
with whom he comes in contact.
Every person We come in contact
with is Affected 70 some extent by
our personalities. The tree Is known
by its fruits. We judge of culture
and refinement by its manifestation
in contact with others. We can only
judge whether person is a lady or
gentleman by her or his conduct
toward others. So Christianity is
manifested in our daily lives We
are known by our, fruits; and il may
be in that final Judgment the net
result of ones life in its effect upon
others for good or evil will be
weighed in the balance OF humanity.
and salvation or condemnation will
depend upon the falling scale.
How are you living? What are
you doing that humanity may be up-
lifted and the way made straighter
for your fellow beings? These are
the practical questions he put.
