Earthquakes in Michigan.

The earthquake Friday last was the
third occurring in this region of which
there is any record, although judging
from the disturbed appearance OF the
rocks in the Lake Superior region and
the native metallic metals-gOld, silver
and copper-there must have been at
some remote period far severer shake
than any of which we have any knowl-
edge. The first shock Of which we have
any record occurred in 1912 the. second
in 1869, both of which were slight. and
az described in Roberts "City Of the
straits" were in the effect much like
that Of Friday last. A resident OF this
city is of the opinion that there was a
slight shock on Wednesday or Thursday
evening preceding this last one, when
he says, door of his house, which Is a
frame which stood open eight or ten
inches, closed suddenly with slam and
with such force that particles of plaster
ing ratified down in the partition. He
went into the adjoining room and in
Quirsd of the girl II she slammed to the
door. She said she did not and was not
near it, bat thought he had done 1t.
Both looked around for cause, but
found all doors and windows closed, 80
IL could not have been caused-b wind.
and it was regarded as mysterioss.-De-
tr0it Free Press.

Michigan Visited by an Ea thquake.

Michigan Visited by an Ea thqualse.
Between 2:15 and o'clock Friday after
noon several towns in Michigan. Ohio,
and Indiana were shaken by an earth
quake of few seconds duration, the 0s-
citations being more perceptible in the
upper stories of structures. Tableware
was dashed to the floor, furniture dis
turbed, and windows wrecked, alarming
the inmates, who, in many instances,
fed banic-stricken to the streets. At
Detroit the quake was severely felt and
the river rose some inches. The Metho-
dist Confernance and Ladies' Missionary
Society In session at Defnance, Ohio'
hastily quilted the building which they
occupied; and the disturbance almost
caused a panic at a reunion in Ottawa,
Ohio, Children in the schools at Indian
apolis became alarmed, and occupants
of railroad depots in the sections visited
imagined that locomotive had collided
with the buildings. A rumbling sound
was heard in some places, resembling a
distant explosion. Tremors were also
felt in portions of Canada, Kentucky
and West Virginia, and were 80 severe
| i'm the suburbs of Cincinnati as to terrify
the Children in the schools. A shock
was felt by printers in a newspaper
Office at Dubuque at 2:0o o'clock in the
morning.

"Every Man His own Saloon Keeper"

Hon. Robert White of East Tawas, who
was delegate to the Democratic con-
yention in this city, was interviewed by
the Tribune reporter relative to the NOR
al effect of prohibition at Tawas. The
village authorities have made 1t q
prohibition town. There is not public
saloon in the place although several at
tempts have been made to establish one.
Said Mr.. White: "YOu may not belieye
it, but that prohibition is one OF the
worst thidgs that could have happened
to our place. 1t has made every man his
own saloon keeper. That is to say,those
who are inclined to drink, carry the
liquor in bottles In their pocket. But
it's regular bonanza for the shore
boats. Their bars sells an immense
amount of liquor between the two vii
lagss."-Bay City Tribune.

The circulation of the GAZETTE is steadily in

its advertising columns generally before purchas-

from tho fact that largo country edition-cqual-
~ as large as the daily-is sent out all over this
section of country three times week, and is
read by thousands, most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they haves Mother
the time or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
of course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can DO made satis-
factorily. The advantages of advertising in the
GAZETTE are thus apparent and need no further
demonstration.

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY ..

CaNDLE SupERsTITIoNs.-So far as the
number is concerned, the most numerous
class of superstitions is composed OF those
which cluster around the family candles.
The origin of these probably dates far back
in antiquity, when the world was full OF SUI
uerstitious fancies about light in general and
candle light in particular. When we come
down to the early days of the CHRISTIAN
Church, however, we find that not re" OF
the ordinances of religion were accompa-
MED by ceremonies borrowed from pagan
ism, in which lighted candles played an lm.
noriant part. Candles were lighted at
birth to keep off evil spirits, at marriage to
prevent the evil eye from affecting the hap
nv rair. and at death to drive away the de-
mons who were thought to be always on the
lookout for the soul of the dying man.
Naturally, then, as candles played SO I'M
nortant a part in the ceremonies OF rellglon
Ioen became accustomed to regard them with
something of superstitious eye, and TO
look to them for signs and wonders which
were not to be elsewhere found. So pecu-
liar aDpearance in the candle, for which no
reason could be given, was always regarded
ns something indicative of some remarkable
thing about to happen. A collection OF tai
low around the wick is still known as q
winding sheet, and is believed to toretell the
death of one of the family, while pright
spark is q sign of the future reception OF
letter by the person opposite whom tne
spark is situated, and the waving OF Inc
flame without any apparent cause, Is sup.
posed to demonstrate the presence ola splrlt
ia the room. In addition to these tancltul
notions. there are some others which are
founded unnatural facts too we'll known to
admit Of dispute, such as the refusal of the
candle to Liz ht readily, which indicates a
state of atmosphere favorable to coming
storm.-S. Louis Globe Democrat.
