FELICIA.
~ ELICIA has the augury Of happi-
ness, since that Is the significance


L ELICIA has the augury of happi-
ness, since that Is the significance
of her name. She is the feminine
of Felix, which seems to have been an
agnomen assumed by any individual at
will when he considered himself I'M
usually fortunate. 1t appears first In
the reign of Herod Agrippa. 1t means
happy" and has given rise to all man
ner of words and names signifying
good fortune in modern languages.
There are eleven masculine saints
by that name in the Roman calendar,
and Felice, the feminine, first appears
In Italy, Spain and the south OF
France. From Felice have come Fe-
licia in England and Felise in france
There was a Felicia who was queen or
Navarro in 1867. The old Romans had
q Goddess of Happiness whom they
called Felicitas. The s1ave-martyr OF
Carthage who suffered with st. Per-
petua was so-called, and there was an
other Felicitas under AntOnius Plus,
who, with her seven sons, presented a
Christian parallel to the mother In the
Maccabees.
Through the votaries of the young
slave-martyr Felicia became popular
In Italy, and this same character Is re-
sponsible for the rise to favor of Fell
cite in France. Faustina is an Italian
form of the same name, but has never
had popular favor. Felicia has always

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
AT THE CHRISTENING.

No rule is so general, which admits not
some experimentation.
THERE was a time when babies
were dressed deliberately when
they were christened, whether
this took place in church or at home.
The christening robe was very long
and wrought with a number of tucks
and ruffies and puffs. Nowadays
these elaborate christening robes have
quite gone out of style among people
who keep abreast of manners as they
change. In fact the elaborate chris
tening robe looks little tawdry to
us now and we suspect the mother
who dresses her babe in this way OF
being not well posted on prevailing
customs.
If you are planning to take your
baby to be christened have it dressed
in simple white dress. This may be
of the finest material and may be
made by hand, but 1t should be devoid
of furbelows. 1t Is very nice to have
the baby entirely in white. even to
the robe In which he is held 1t is
usual to uncover the child's head for
the ceremony but especially If the
church is draughty it should wear a
simple white bonnet.
If the child has a nurse 1t may be
brought to the church by the nurse,
but one of the sponsors or the god
mother should hold the baby in her
arms when the ceremony begins and
should receive the baby from the min
lister or priest after the ceremony
has taken place.
The question is sometimes asked
whether or not the minister should be
given a fee at the time of the bap-
tism. In some churches there is a
definite fee for this ceremony. Other
wise no fee is really required and
many clergymen rather object to re-
ceiving any for such services. A tact
full thing then to do is to inclose a
crisp bank note in an envelope and
hand it to the clergyman with the re-
quest that he make use of it in some
one Of his good works. He certainly
could not object TO that. The father
of the child should attend to this after
the ceremony.

OF more than ordinary interest to

Of Montana man and of particular
interest to all Montana because it is
an agricultural state is the lately
patented thrashing machine and
separator that is the brain child Of

Old Types Money Burners.
Those who are familiar with the
Vaccinations of a thrashing machine
know that the principal parts are the
cylinder and concaves. On these de-
pend the thorough thrashing of the
grain. The fact that the first built
had no other equipment that cyl
lnder and set OF cOncaves, each
equipped with a set of teeth which
grinding against one another sep
arated the kernels from the grain
stalk are evidence of the Importance
of these parts. improvements ac-
complished in time advanced the con-
caves toward what seemed perfec-
ton, but nevertheless there still re-
mains the greatest worry of the farm
er at thrashing time-the unpardon-
able waste Of time, caused by a shut
down while cOncaves and cylinder are
being changed All this usually takes
place while 20 or more men in
thrashing crew are in the field and
are given an hour or more of leisure
at the expense Of the thifty tiller Of
the soil.
To the end that this profligate
waste OF labor may be done away
with. this latest machine, patented in
the United States and Canada, has
been invented. Changing concaves,
teeth and cylinder is now matter of
but few minutes work. The sep
arator has three rows of teeth which
can be adjusted in a few seconds at
the will of the operator without re-
moving the cylinder or the concaves.
Suppose for an instance that with the
opening Of new day the thrashers
are bothered with wet, heavy grain
