On our lines running from Mandan
to Missoula and from Corinne over
in Idaho to Helena hy way of Deer
Lodge, the coaches had accommoda
tions for 18, 24 and 30 and were
drawn by teams of 6 to 12 horses.

BLINDNESS.
With It Come? an Idealization That Blakes
ninny Thine? fair.
"Some day 1 may write a paper
to be called 'Compensations In
Blindness,' " said a Washington la
dy, still under 30, who has heen to
tally blind for nearly a decade.
"Ten years P^O, when I was told by
reveal distinguished oculists that
I should inevitably become com
pletely blind within a very few
months the shock was almost be
yond my strength. Had I not been
of great constitutional hardiness
the brooding I permitted myself to
indulge in at first over the special
ists' pronunciamento would unques
tionably have undermined my
health. Then I forced myself to
emerge from the heavy shadow and
braced myself to submit philosoph
ically to the final extinction of light,
for the oculists were right, ..nd
every morning I found that I per
ceived objects more and moro dim
ly. I gradually nerved myself up to
meet the heavy day when I should
awake iu utter darkness. When the
day came, it was not so bitter as I
had anticipated, for I had grown
used to the contemplation of the
perpetual shadow that was in store
for me.
.'Now, as to tho compensation in
blindness. Cnn you understand that
the world seems very much moro
beautiful to me now than it did
when I could read a newspaper by
the light of tbe full moon? We of
the sightless eyes fall unconsciously
into the habit, as time passes, of
idealizing everything that presents
itself to our notice. We are thrust
upon our imaginations so absolute
ly, you know, and I suppose it is
quite true that the imaginations of
blind people are extraordinarily
active.
"I have often fancied, since I be
came blind, that Milton's depriva
tion of sight was in reality a bless
ing to the world'y literature, for I
am firmly of the belief that bis
blindness stimulated his imagina
tion and enabled him to portray his
colossal pictures with infinitely
more beauty than he would have
been able to conceive had he been in
possession of his sight.
"But, as I started to say, we of
the useless eyes unconsciously de
velop into idealizers. For example,
I am visited by many dear women
friends whose faces I have never
seen. I am told that pever?l of
these friends are hopelessly plain as
to features, but I have observed that
those who, as I hear, are tho least
attractive as to their oxiurior beauty
have the sweetest voices, which in
itself is a compensation for them.
It is a compensation tor mo, in that
I am the beneficiary of that alone
which is tho most attractive thing
about them-their voices-and I nm
spared tho acute sympathy I might
feel for them could I see their lack
of personal beauty. Again, my peo
ple occasionally take me to the the
ater. I venture to say that now,
after having been blind for nearly
ten years, 1 enjoy a good play very
much more than those whose eyes
serve them well. When I was quite
a young woman and possessed of
the best of sight, I recall that there
were many actors and actresses
whose enunciation and delivery of
their lines were admirable, but
whose natural or assumed manner
isms jarred upon me. Now I bear
the voices of the players alone and
their fine or vicious speeches,* so
that all stage heroes are Sir Launce
lots and all villains Sir Modreds to
me. When I am told that a girl who
comes to read to me is considered
lovely by everybody, I am sure,
after ehe has been described to me,
that I pictnre her very much more
beautiful than anybody with sight
does, Again, you know that many
fine musicians, vocal and instru
mental, men and women, are desper
ately ill favored, and the perform
ing manners of some of them are
distressing, as I myself remember.
But I only hear their music, you
perceive, and the musicians are all
angels of light to me. When I am
led through the parks and inspired
by the appealing fragrance of the
lilies, I cannot see tho flowers that
are withering."-Washington Star.

It is unkind of Roger to tell tales
out of school. One should kiss and

"I must admit," he says, "that I

A CURIOUS LEGEND.
TrtlTC?t ~- "".*.? . i.- ?.T C?iu * ?II?? inn
Three WU* Bien Gave to Christ.
Tho Cth of January was a marked
day in tho calendar of mediaeval
times, for upon it fell the feast of
the Epiphany, tho most popular of
Christian festivals, Christmas day
only excepted. All good churchmen
know that the word Epiphany, mean
in ?? tho "appearing," has reference
to the star which guided "the three
wi ?se men" to the cave stablo nt
Bethlehem 13 days after the birth of
the holy child.
Tradition says that they were
three kings-their names. Melchior,
Balthayer and Gaspar-the one an
Arabian, a descendant of Shem ; tho
second an Egyptian of the race of
Ham, and the third Japhet's rep
resentative, typical of the world
wide homage to bo paid to tho in
carnate Jehovah.
"Three kings the King of Kings
three gifts did bring." Melchior
presented gold in recognition of tho
sovereignty of the babe; Gaspar,
frankincense, in acknowledgment of
his divinity, and Balthayer, myrrh,
as typical of his human life, destined
to be so full of bitterness.
Of the gold offered by Melchoir
there is, according to ancient legend,
a very curious history. Originally
coined by Terah, tho futber of Abra
ham, tho money was given by him
to his son upun his doparturo from
the land of the Cbaldees.
It is stated in tho Koran, adopted
from Mesopotamean traditions, that
the patriarch was forcod into exile
on account of his monotheistic con
victions and because he would not
engage in his father's business,
which was tho manufacture of idols
of gold and silver. These idols wero
of the moon god Sin, whence the
name of the highest mountain in
that region, Sinai. The money given
by Terah to Abraham was next used
for the purchase of theoave of Mac
pelah of Ephron the Hittite.
'When Joseph's brethren sold him
to the Ishmaelites, they reoeived
these identical pieces of gold inpay
ment-so runs the legend-which
they afterward puid io Joseph when
driven in the time of the famine to
buy corn in Egypt. Upon the death of
Jaoob Joseph sent the money to the
land of Sheba to buy spices where
with to embalm the body of his fa
ther, and they remained in the royal
treasury until tho queen of Sheba
made her famous visit to Solomon,
when, among other gilts, she pre
sented the coins to that opulent mon
arch.
During the reign of Rhchoboam,
Solomon's son, Shishak, king of
Egypt, made a successful invasion
into Jud rca and despoiled the temple,
whereupon he presented to his ally
and companion in arms, the king ol
Arabia, the famous pieces of gold m
his shaie of the plunder.
Nearly 1,000 years later Melchior,
the apocryphal successor of the Ara
bian monarch, brought them as i
gift to "him that was called thc
King of the Jews."
It would seem that the ingenui
ty of our visionary archaeologists
might be overtaxed to further con
nect the itinerant ooins with the sub
sequent events of the New Testa
ment, wherever money plays a part
but they stumbled A\ nothing.
The story goes on to say that ii
the hurry of the flight into Egyp
the Virgin Mother dropped the gob
pieces in a field, where they wen
afterward found by a shepherd. No
daring to disclose his good forton
lest he be suspected of dishonest;
and the money be taken from him
he kept lit by him for many years
In bis old age, being afflicted by in
oura ole disease, he besought tho ai
of the Christ, who healed him.
As a thank offering he carried hi
treasure to the temple and laid i
upon the high altar. Thus, fallin
into the hands of the high priest
the money was paid to Judas as th
price of his treachery in tho betraj
al of his L' ister.
The fact that the reward agree
upon to be paid to Judas is spoke
of as 30 pieces of silver seems to o:
fer no difficulty. It is explaine
upon tho ground that the transit
tion "silver" is used as the goner:
term for money, like "argent" i
French.
When, tortured by remorse, Jude
returned the money to the pries
they used it for the purchase of tl

THE TOY BUYER ABROAD.
2.S w7 M?? ?i?ii<iMiii'; i i'niurpa 01 tn*
Work In Europe,
The professional buyer going to
Europe to purchase goods travels ou
the best boats-and ol iou on the
same boat, which ho finds familiar
and comfortable. It may lie that he
knows the hotels abroad, in tho
countries that he visits, hottet; than
he does those of bin own land, and
he may come to have a better ac
quaintance with whole districts in
foreign countries than hu does with
like districts of his o,\vn, for tho sim
ple reason that ho visits them regu
larly and frequently. Where ho goes
depends on what ho is buying.
Whether it is silks or laces ur linens
or woolens or leather goods or what
not, he goes to th? country where
tho things are inadu to buy them,
whether it is in Russia or in Austria
or France or Ireland. This takes him
to tho greatest cities and to smaller
ones, and sometimes into remoto
country districts off tho lines of rail
roads, where ho buys of individual
producers. This would hu true, for
example, of tho toy buyer.
Thu buyer for a Now York whole?
salo toyhouse goes to Germany,
Austria, Franco and England, and,
it may be, to other European coun
tries, buying in each the productions
peculiar to them. In/Germany ho
buys, among other things, certain
kinds of chinaware and dolls and
toys. Ho buys some things there in
cities, but he buy H things ns well in
the country, in tho houses of tho
people who make them. Household
industries exist in Germany in a
way that is practically unknown in
this country. Whole families engage
in some work, perhaps tho decorat
ing of toy china or in making dolls
and so on, and whole communities
may be thus engaged.
The toy buyer goeB off into these
places and buys at first hand, and,
going to the individual, he gets
things just as he wants them. He
knows what he wants, and he gets
things made that way. A touch, a
single little grace, may make the
diff?rence between a profit and a
loss, between a thing that will sell
and one that won't. On a doll, for
instance, even a cheap doll, the ti
niest bit of lace properly disposed or
the arrangement of the dress or tho
colors used or some slight change in
the face of the doll, may make the
difference between a doll that is dull
and wooden and inanimate and ono
that is alive and attractive and sala
ble. It may be that tho buyer sits
down in the dollmaker'e home und
explains these things and gets the
dolls made as he wants them. . j
One district in Germany that the
toy buyer visits is in its character
istics much like tho Catskill region
in this state. The buyer makes his
headquarters in a town, from which
he drives off up the valleys and
about the mountains to the homes
of the people. He goes there year
after year, and ho knows the ooun
try well; its landmarks are familiar,
and he knows the peoplo. As he
drives along the roads he meets boys
who live in the neighborhood and
take off their hats to him ns they sa
lute him and address him hy name.
They know him, and they know
what brings him to the mountains;
his coming may rn car* an order for
their own families. In recent years
railroads ha ve been built up through
some of these valleys, and it will
probably not be very many years
before most of them will he accessi
ble in that manner.
From Germany the toy buyer goes
to Austria. It may be that oven in
Vienna he buys tho products of
household industries in the dwell
ings in which they are made. Here
be msy have to climb to tho top story
of a house to find a family workshop.
In France, in Paris, ho buys some
things at the home of the makers,
b'iit an increasing i>roportion he buys
in the warehouses where they are
collected. Pretty much everything
that he gets in London he buys in
wholesale establishments. - New

AMERICAN FROG EATERS.
Th?-y Contmmo Twlco tktf Ouantlty That
Preach KMI ru rcs A I ?si i rh.
Franc? baa long been regarded as
tho "nation of frog eaters, "but it is
an established fact that tho United
States of America now consumes
jusi twice us ninny frogs as France.
The valuo of frogs as food is now
thoroughly recognized. Tho meat
is white, delicate and very whole
some and palatable. Although eaten
at all seasons, it is in ba?t condition
in fall and winter; in spring it is of
relatively inferior quality. Only
the hind logs aro commonly util
ized, tho meat on tho other parts of
the hotly being edible, but in very
small quantity. In some localities,
however, tho entire body, after tho
removal of the viscera, is fried with
6ggs and bread crumbs. Tho log*
aro usually prepared for tho table by
broiling, frying or stowing. Tho
prejudice that formerly existed
against frogs as an article of food
was probably based on their uncan
ny appearance and tho association
in tho minds of the peuple with
witches, and their disgusting halli
tat of marshes, pools, etc.
In a very complete pamphlet on
the "Edible Frogs of tho United
States," issued by tho lish commis
sion, it is pointed out that tho edi blt
batrachians which tire associate!,
with tho families of toads, tree
frogs, newts, salamanders, etc., be
long to 13 species and 0 subspecies
or varieties.
From this same source it is learn
ed that frog hunting is carried on in
all sections of the United States,
and is of economic importance in ID
states, while in nearly all the re
maining states and territories frogs
are token for local or homo con
sumption. The states supplying tho
largest quantities for tho markets
are California, Missouri, Now York,
Arkansas, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and of theso Now York
leads tho liet.
The specinl localities whore frog
hunting is dono aro the marshes of
the western end of Lako Erie, the
Lo wis and G rand reservoirs, in Ohio;
the marshes of the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers, California ; the
valley of the Kankakee river, In
diana ; Oneida lake, Seneca rivor and
other waters of northern New York
and tho St. Francis rivor and sunken
lands of tho Mississippi liver in
Arkansas and Missouri.
The species commonly eaton aro I
the bullfrog, the greeu frog, the
spring frog and the western bull*
flog. Tho mc?t widely distributed
is the common frog,known variously
usthespring frog, shae' frog or leop
ard frog. It is found from t he Atlan
tic coast to tho Sierra Nev." da moun
tains, and from Lake Athabasca, in
Canada, to Guatemala, Central
America. It reaches a length of '?)4
inches, exclusive of legs.
The green frog is found in the
eastern part of the United States
and Canada. This frog is especially
aquatic in habits, not hunting for
food on land, and frequenting all
kinds of fresh waters.
The pickerel frog, marsh frog, 01
tiger frog, resembles the leopard
frog, but may be readily distinguish
ed from it by the bright yellow on
the thighs and logs. This particular
frog has a disagreeable odor, and it
is but rarely eaten.
The bullfrog is the largest of
North American frogs, reaching a
body length of over eight inches. It
has very much the same geographic
al range as the spring frog. The
western bullfrogs are not so woll
known, and rango from Montana
west to Puget sound, thence south
to California.-Philadelphia Record.
A Problem in Nut? Love Milking
Paul Milli ken, who in quite an export
in tho language of deaf mutes, says
that one morning last week he was
coming down on the Avondale car,
when he became interested in a dis
cussion between two mutes.
"Say. L want your advice," said
one of them, using his hands as vocal
organs.
"I shall bc happy to oblige you,''
said the other.
"Are you up on the tricks . of wom
en?" inquired the first one.
Thc second man modestly admitted
that he knew something of the gentler
sex, although he disclaimed^; being an
oracle.
"Well," resumed thc ouc who
wanted advice, "you know, 1 am in

blonde, you know. At last I made up
my mind to propose to her. Last
night I made the attempt."
"And she turned you down ?' ' eagerly
inquired his friend, hit.- hands tremb
ling so with excitement that he shud
dered badly.
"That is what I am coming to," said
the first. "I don't know whether she
did or not. You see, I was somewhat
embarrassed, and the words seemed to
stick on my hands. And there she
sat, as demure as a dove. CFinally my
fingers clove together, and Ifould not
say a word. Then Ms-bcl got up and
turned the gas'down."

HISTORY OF ICE MAKING.
Siii?ii!:- Method* Followed hy I'cuplo CVn
t urn i A i;<>.
Tho most ancient method of milk
ing ice is practiced in India. Holes
are made in the ground, dry htraw
is put at the bottom of these, and on
it at the close of tho day aro placed
pans of water, which are left until
the next morning, when tho ice that
is found within ibo pans is collected.
This industry is carried on only in
districts where the ground is dry
and will readily absorb tho vapor
given off from the water in the pans.
The freezing, of course, is duo to tho
great amount of heat absorbed by
the vapor in passing from its liquid
to its gaseous form.
Another process was practiced in
tho days of ancient Rome, when tho
wealthy aro said to have had their
wines cooled by having tho bottles
placed in water into which saltpeter
was thrown, the bottles being the
while rotated.
Dr. Cullen in 1755 discovered that
tho evaporation of water could bo
facilitated by tho removal of tho
pressure of tho atmosphere, and that,
by doing t his water could bo frozen.
Nairn, in 177?, discovered that HUI
pbtirio acid would absorb tho vapor
of water if placed in a second vessel
separate from that containing tho
water, but connected with it. This
discovery he put to use in 1810 by
constructing an apparatus for ab
sorbing tho vapor of tho water that
it was desired to cool or freeze. This
apparatus greatly facilitated the
freezing op?rations of a vacuum
freezing machine.
Jacob Perkins was tho father of
what is now known as. the compres
sion system, having invented the
first machino of tho kind in iy:i4,
and as these machines, improved,
are at the present day moro in use
than any other, a description of
Perkins' patent may bo of interest.
His apparatus consisted of an insu
lated vessel, in which was inclosed a
second vessel containing ether, a va
por purni), u worm and worm tub, a
tube between tho second vessel nml
tho pump, another between tho pump
and the worm, a third between tho
worm and the bottom of the other
vessel and tho necessary valves.
As afterward constructed, tho ap
paratus was made up of a jacketed
pan, within which was the water to
be cooled; an insulated box in which
was placed the pan, a pump to ex
tract the vapor from tho jacket, u
worm in which tho vapor was con
densed after it left the pump, a worm
tub containing cold water to cool

ter tho vapor within it, and pipes
connecting tho topof tho pan jacket
to tho pump, tho pump" with tho
upper end of tho worm, and tho low
er end of the worm with the under
side of the pan jacket. Tho refrig
erating agent used with this appa
