WOMAN'S SPHERE.

They talk about woman's sphere,
As though il had limit;
There's not a place iii earth or heaven
There's not task to mankind given.
There's not a blessing nor woe.
There's not whisper yes or no,
There's not life. or death, or birth,
That has q feathers weight or worth.
Without n woman in il;

Effects of Temperature.

The effects Of temperature on man do
not depend so much on the mean for the
day, month, or year as on the extremes
as when the days are hot and the nights
comparatively cool the energy of the
system becomes partially restored, so
that a residpce near the sea, or in the
vicinity of high mountains, in hot CHI
mates is, other things being equal, less
e~nervating than in the plains, as the
night air is generally cooler. 1t is COM
monty believed that hot climates are
necessarily injurious to Europeans, by
causing frequent liver arrangements
and diseases, ~dysentery, cholera and
feyers. This, however, is, to a certain
extent, a mistake, as the recent medical
statistical returns of our army in India
show that in thenew barracks, with more
careful supervision as regards diet and
clothing, the sickness and death rates
are much reduced. Planters and 9th
ers, who ride about a good deal, as a
rule keep in fairly good health; but the
children of Europeans certainly degen-
crate, and after two or three generations
die out. unless they intermarry with ma
tvs and make frequent visits to colder
climates. This fact shows that hot eli
mates, probably by interfering with the
due performance of the various processes
concerned in the formation and destruc-
ton of the bodily tissues, eventually
sap the foundations of life among Euro
peans; but how far this result has been
caused by bad habits as regards food,
exercise, and self-indulgence / cannot
say. Rapid changes of temperature in
this country are often very injurious to
the young and old, causing diarrhea
and arrangements of the liver when
great heat occurs, and infiammatory
diseases of the lungs, colds, Sc, wher
the air becomes suddenly colder, even
in summer.-Nature.

F~rankfort-on on e-ITain.

In all Europe there is no more lovable
city than Frankfort-on the Main. /
have met Americans who were as en-
thusiastic about it as Madame de Stael
was about Paris, and as much delighted
to make it their home. The Franklin
ters themselves regard it as an excel
lent place to stay. Not many of them,
indeed, especially of the older stock,
can be persuaded to leave it. There
are not q few of it's families whose per-
~spicuous annals of residence extend
back through a long line of ancestry,
for two or three centuries. There are
banks and other business houses whose
present name and location have been
continuous for 100 to $50 years. The
city itself dates back to the time of
Charlemagne. One of it's stone bridges,
spanning the River Nam, is said to
have been built eight or nine centuries
ago. A legend tells us it was placed
there by his Santanic Majesty, on a
special contract with the city fathers,
that he should have the soul of the first
creature that should pass over it. When
ii was finished the shrewd Frankfnrters
sent a rooster across it. thereby shsw-
ing themselves smarter than the sly
party Of the second part. An image of
the rooster, surmounting a pole set up
or the bridge, commentaries the event
and confirms the truth of the story

From London Society.
They are prolific people. To be
childless is regarded an intense calam-
ity; and no matter how shallow the
purse, no new conner is welcomed other
than with smiles and gladness. Now, is
it possible that a people so home-lov-
ing, SO affectionate, so fond Of offspring,
should be so deprayed, so immoral, az
we habitually depict them? We have
too long looked upon one side only of
the italian character; it is high time we
learned to know the other. Another
favorite idea of ours is that the Italians
never make love marriages. No doubt
their marriages, Ike those Of the
French, are often arranged by the par
ents; but, unlike those Of the French,
as a rule o veto Of choice is left TO the
young people, and il we could collect
statistics upon the point. / am inclined
to think that we should find that the
proportion of these marriages, founded
| upon a groundwork of reason and
social compatibility. which turn ont well
is as great as, il not greater than, thai
Of our marriages founded on youthful

WEED BLADES.

Young Henry Haylold experienced
much difficulty IN finding, in his some
what contracted sphere of operations,
a vocation which would yield a pleas
urable. not to say remunerative, return.
One day, after having experienced with
quite a number of ~"callings," including
a mild attempt in the pulpit, he heard
that a school teacher was greatly needed
In a far removed district, known as
"Panter Walk" He had begun the
study of veterinary surgery, but not be-
ing very much taken with the profess
sion, he decided to go at once to PAINTER
Walk" and begin the much needed
course of instruction. Arriving, he
found a small log school house, sparsely
supplied with benches. The farmers
whom he consulted agreed that a school
was the very thing they needed, but
that no one could expect much "of a
shown till arter the crops was laid by"
This was certainly discouraging, but as
young Hayloid had nothing else in view,
he decided to stay and take his chances.
When school opened only two scholars"
made their appearance, the family prop
erty of old Jim Socklaster. One was

OUR NEW COAL DOCK.

While in conversation with Mr.. K.
C. Hanna, the local agent here of the
st. Paul & Pacific Coal and Iron Co.,
a few days ago, we picked up few
items relating to the mammoth dock
now in course of construction on Con-
nor's Point by that Company, which
may be of interest to our readers,
therefore we give them. The dock is
to be one of the largest and most sub
stantial structures of the kind in the
west. The dock will haye a length of
1000 feet, with an average breadth of
1870 feet, all on solid ground except
strip 40 feet wide extending along the
water frontage which is of piling of
the most formidable character. The
number of piles used in the construc-
ton ofthis dock is 1,S00 of an average
length of 45 feet each, and of other
lumber 100000 feet will be used,
which will give storage capacity of
125, 900 tons of coal.
Through the center of the dock
lengthways the n. 2. railroad com
pany will put single track of road so
that cars can be loaded from either
side of the dock By the hosting ma
chinery which will consist of six der
ricks made and operated after a plan
devised Mr. \. Pugh, of st. Paul, the
general manager of the company, each
capable of handling 30 tons per hour
and each bucket holding one ton.
Each derrick will have its individual
engine and all the engines will have
connection with one large and neces-
sarily powerful boiler centrally locat-
ed
All of the machinery connected
with this dock will be furnished and
placed iii position by Messrs. i. B.
Mclean & Co., of Duluth, CT which
firm Mr.. a. a. Maxim, of this city is
a member. All the other work is be-
ing done under the direct supervision
of the Company. The piling was put
in place by Mr.. l.. J. Moran of this
city. and, like the rest of the work is
well done The cost of the dock, ex-
elusive of the railroad track and the
grounds, will be not less than SO, 900.
The company expects 10 have the
work done and ready to commence to
receive and handle coal by the middle
Of MAY. The st. Paul & Pacific Coal
& Iron Co, of which Mr.. H. \. Han
ma of Cleveland. Ohio, is President,
and Mr. A. Pugh, Of St. Paul is gen
eral manager, is one of the strongest
in the west and will form pow
erful factor in building up our city.
The TINES again wishes them business
prosperity, even to that extent that
they may fad It necessary to build
companion dock at the lower end of
the bay.

The Musical Entertainment by
our home talent in the new Music
Hall last Tuesday evening, was de-
cided success, in every detail. The
audience was a large and appreci4tive
one; the stage was tastefully furnished
and draped; the scenery appropriate
and well arranged, and the company
the handsomest and best dressed we
ever saw anywhere The selections,
sixteen in number, were excellent, and
each and every performer had his or
her part perfectly, so that there was
no clashing of parts, or discord, and
the exercises throughout gave evidence
of Mr.. Georges ability to drill and
harmonic voices, and of the natural
ability and aptness Of the class to
learn. Where all done so well It is
unnecessary to try and single out a
few stars " orspecial mention. The
Association is everyway worthy the
hearty support Of our people, and
their next entertainment Will draw
even a larger house than that of last
Tuesday evening.

A party of \. ?. civil engineers
last "Wednesday commenced running n
line of survey from a junction with the
y. p. road ut Newton Avenue west
along First street to Thompson Az
enue for side track facilities. The
track is being put in chiefly for the
benefit Of the lumber yard to be oper-
ated by Mr. Webb, which will be To-
Gated near the foot Of Stinson Avenue,
though it will benefit all our business
men as their goods can then be run
up to the business part of the town,
instead of being left at the depot. 1t
is quite probable this side track will
be extended far enough west to take
in the single mill also. As soon as
the track can be put in Mr.. Webb
will be ready to commence business.

clock when Mr. Follis was not at
home, and for evincing disposition
to keep the same. She said she only
took it for fun and intended to return
it, but the Justice failed to see the
funny side of the question and fined
her ten dollars and costs Then Mr..
Follis who also held a chattle mort
gage on the household effects of the
ranch, foreclosed the same, while the
parties decided to leave Superior for

The county bridge which has been
in course of construction the past two
months, and which spans the Nemadji
River at point on 18th street in sec
ton one is fully completed and has
been accepted by the Board of County
Supervisors. The necessary APP
proaches were put in by Messrs. Zach
au and Philbrook of this city under
the general supervision of Mr. l.. f.
Johnston and consists of 500 feet of
piling, the roadway being 16 feet wide,
at total cost of 81, 3O6.97. The span
across the stream. which is of iron was
put in by the King Iron Bridge Co.,
of Cleveland, Ohio, and cost 81 800
making the total cost of the staucture
SO, 106.97. The bridge is 1S4 feet
above the common water level, and at
this point the stream has a depth of
81 feet, so that no obstruction is offer
ed to any of the tugs that ply upon
that stream. The work on the struct-
ure has been first-class throughout and
as it was an institution much needed,
we are glad We have got it, and the
officials who have carried the work
through are entitled to due credit for
the economical yet substantial results
oftheir stewardship. Now we are ready
for another bridge just as soon as it be-
comes apparent that another one is
needed. If Eve expect people to set
tie in and deyelope our county we
must give them good roads and bridges.
