Gold ■ Drug lu the Slaifent. There are sbrmrcoinforhibh! features about Helene, the Montana metK)]>o1ts, which would bo appreciatotl further “Cast. The city is built mainly in the celebrated * * I xist: 'Chance Gulch, n which yielded in years past more than thirty million dollars in gokl dust. The abundance of the precious metal led the miners into shift!c-ss’ ways, and the washing of the dirt wins carelessly done, leaving considerable yellow dust in the ground. When excavating for a house now (lie soil removed is again treated, with the result usually of linding enough gold to materially help pay' for the walls. It is said that a gentleman, a resident, with an eye to thrift, has pro vided the foot scrai>er at his dwelling with a rocepiuble to catch the drop- piugs, and onoe a month he has s~ “clean up” which about pays his rent. Huchopportunities would excite atten tion in other cities, but the vast out- —jmt of the neighlioring mines edn- ►tantly pouring into Helena so gorges the town with gold and silver that they have become almost a drug ou the market.—New York Star.

He bus a large trade, and aa ho has hia own pies, cakes, buns, biscuit aud bread baked every morning fresh ho makes it a rule not to carry over any stock. He accordingly aunbunced that he would dispoie of whatever was left over every evening at 7:3a o’clock tp the newsboys and newsgirls for a mere Bong. If a boy lm« only a penny he will be served bountifully. There is no sdhle of prices. Every fellow gets something. The boy with a basket who has saved up a quarter gets a haul, enough to last several dnvs. The sight about the cafe at the hour meutionod is an inter- eatifcg oife. Every face beams with satisfaction. The little newsgirls are treated with a politeness by lJjc boys which is eharmiiig. The girl* get the tirst show aud are never crowned Out of line.

TStliitlng the Face In Ovid's Daj. ’Hie jxjet Ovid describes various paints which were used by the Roman matrons, and complained that the wo man tried to imitate with cosmetics the rosy complexions which health alone epuld give. He also spoke of the * deceitful pallor lent to their cheeks by .white lead, and of curious methods they had of beautifying their eyes. Again, he mentions that a pale face was a necessity for every woman who jospired to be “good form.” Pliny speaks of a concoction of flour of peas And 'barley, eggs, harUhorn, etc., which fashionable women in Rotne wore on their faces all night and part of the day for the purpose of clearing their skins.—Berlin Courier.
