Northwestern Michigan Press AssOcia-
tiOn.

At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Northwestern Michigan
Press association, held at Cadillac, Tues
day of last week it was decided to hold
the next annual meeting of the assOcia-
tion at Cadillac, commencing on Mon
day evening, August 22d. This date was
selected owing to the fact that quite a
number of the members of the associa-
tiOn were going to participate in the
Detroit Evening News excursion to the
White Mountains, which takes place in
July, about the time at which the meet
ings of the Press association have here
tofore been held. No arrangements for
an excursion have yet been perfected,
but it is quite probable that one will be
provided which will embrace a steam
boat ride from Traverse City to Petoskey,
and one days stay at the latter place and
its surrounding resorts. A circular an
nOuncing programme of exercises at
place of meeting, and excursion in de-
tail, if one be secured, will be issued in

A Beautiful Voice.

Madam de Stael would have gladly
parted with some of her wit il she could
only have been beautiful. 1t would NOT
be strange il the equally famous "George
Eliot" felt the same hopeless hunger
for beauty Gor she was q remarkably
homely woman). We see how sweet il
was to her to be praised for grace that
is akin to beauty.
This little story about George Eliot is
told by q Maine lady, who met the
novelist ut hotel in Switzerland, just
after Romola" appeared. One day
Mrs. Lewes was reading aloud in French
to little girl in the garden, and the
American drew near to listen to the
musical tones. Presently Mrs. Lewes
glanced NJ the intruder and said:
"Do you underestimate"
~ do not care for the matter" an.
swered the American 81 only came to
listen to your sweet voice"
"Do you like it d" said Mrs. Lewes,
with some surprise.
The American warmly expressed her
admiration, and George Elot's face
lighted with pleasure as she took her
hand, saying:
81 thank you. I would rather you
would compliment my voice than my
'Romola. ~ Youths Companion.

Caunjbal ScOtchmen.

When Scotland Ind climate very
much like that of Canada to-day, when
tbe pebrides boosted great forests OF
immense trees, and when, too, a man
could have walked on dry land from
Edinburgh to Stockholm, the primitive
Scotch-folk were as peculiar III habit
and head.
The skulls of this period, which are
still occasionally dug up, all belong to
what is enthusiastically called the
boat-headed type, and tho good
people who owned them INDUCED in n
variety Of savage practices, from having
community of wives to eating their
own children. ;,
Prof. Owen says: "The lowest skull
in the Caithness series OF an ancient
stone-period resembles that OF West
Indian negro" He also found chllds
law (Which had been broken, for its
dental press was not gnawed by beasts,
and concluded the race to be cannibal.
Little wonder after this that one SOL
entific observer asserts the antique
Scotch skull is far more animal.like
than those of any European race either
known in history or hitherto discovered
in pre- historic tombs of the iron, bronze
or latter stone periods"
There is something almost humorous
in the contrast thus presented between
modern Scotland--dcmure and devoted
and the old, old Scotland where kind
of unutterabe savage was in the habit
of rampaging about, combining whole
sale MormOnism with the delectable
habit of feasting on cold baby.
Prof. Huxley goes so far as to line
these primitive ancestors OF Sir Walter
Scott and the Marquis OF Lorne with the
Australian Maorics, but they were so ill.,
ferior to the latter that thoy had no
sense of ornament, not single frag-
ment of bead or bracelet belonging to
these dim ages having ever been found
in all Scotland through.
Almost depressing is this idea OF q
people who belonged to 80 debased and
low type Of humanity. One comfort
lies in the fact tina. they lived very
long time ago, when Glasgow was the
site of a sea, and what is now the bed OF
the German ocean did not contain water
enough to have filled teacup. lou

WOmanly MOdesty.

Man loves the mysterious. cloud
less sky and full blown rose leaves HIM
unmoved; but the violet which hides its
blushing beauties behind the bush. and
the moon when emerging from behind
clond. are to him sources OF inspiration
and of pleasure. Modesty is to merit
what shade is to figure i'll painting-it
gives boldness and prominence. Nothing
adds more to female beauty than mod
esty. It sheds around the countennnce
a halo of light which is borrowed from
virtue. Botanists have given the rosy
hue which tinges the cup of the white
roses the name of the maiden blush.
This pure and delicate hue is the only
paint Christian virtue should use. IL IS the
richest ornament. A woman without
modesy is like faded flower diffusing
an unwholesome odor, which the prudent
elrdener will throw from him. Her
destiny is melancholy, for it terminates
in shame and repentance. Beauty passes
like the flower of the Abe, which bloom
and die in a few hours; but modesty
gives the female charms which supply
the place of the transitory freshness OF
youth.

Taking ont Patents.

Apropos Of the editorials that are gen.
orally written on patent reforms, the
Scientific american notes the fact that
the line of argument is substantially
identical in most newspapers. 1t holds
that the idea that an inventor who has
brought forth, painfully or otherwise,
something of value to the rest of the
community should be compelled to pay
for the privilege, heavily or lightly, is
simply absurd. Also that the penalty
imposed should increase with the amount
of the benefaction is still more absurd.
1t says "Indrectly the successful in
veltioD does contribute to government
support in taxes in proportion to the rate
at which it increases individual and pub
lie wealth; but that is for service by the
government other than and independent
OF the issuance OF an official certiiication

An Extraordinary Engineering Feat.

The Washington Monument is too
near to be ever regarded by Washington
people as anything out Of the ordinary
run Of things. Few people here ever
stop to think what q feat Of engineering
has been undertaken In the construction

in the world such mechanical appliances

Casey. "The last course Of stone
weighed 100 tons. Now this 100 TOM,
was raised vertically distance Of 245
feet, and the course was laid in fifteen
hours. In other words, two feet Of the

A Genuine Swedish Dinner.

Says correspondent Of the San Fran.
cisco POST! '
"Now, no one who has lived all his
days beyond the borders OF Sweden
knows precisely what a peculiarly formal,
and at the same time what peculiarly
free-and.easy, feast the genuine Swedish
dinner is. Sui generis as it is, the iol-
lowing description may do partly what
only participation can wholly do; The
company is standing in little groups, ard
rs the preparations for lunch nre com
peted the buzz of conversation gradn-
ally ceases. Var sa god (please), says
the genial hostess, bowling to the chief
guest, and she walks up to the side table,
spreads piece OF bread with butter,
and walks away eating it, standing
meanwhile and entering again into con-
versation, while the others Qadies first,
then gentlemen) follow in turn. At the
outset, too, the gentlemen feel the need
of wine glass Of brandy as an appe-
tier. and some drink two or three, but
most Of the ladies desist. One or two
pieces OF homemade biscuit, or OF the
particularly thin, hard-baked barley
bread, with slices of cold meats or boiled
eggs inlaid follow; and the lunch
ended, the company sits down to dinner.
A roast and boiled potatoes are brought
steaming from the porters lodge. The
same rules of etiquette are observed as
before. Each helps himself and begins
eating at once. If he wishes more bread
it is not passed, but he leaves his place
at the table for it. All eat heartily OF
the first course of the dinner, as, prop
erly speaking, it is--wisely, the doctors
will say-the last. Then pudding for
desert is eaten; and the busy hum OF
conversation--bright and remarkably in
tclligent conversation, too, it is-contin-
lies for half.hour, when fruit is eaten,
aud cup OF coffee with toasted bread
finishes the Swedish dinner"
