About eleven miles from West Superior on
the Eastern Minnesota railway, where the
road passes over a bed, which is supposed to
be quicksand. sink hole has caused great
damage to the company since the opening
of traffic. Several weeks ago the bed of the
road sank to such an extent that the track
for hundred feet lay ten or twelve feet be-
low grade. Business was suspended for
about thirty-six hours, but a large force of
men was out to work leveling up the track
and business was resumed. Since that time
500 cars Of gravel was placed within space
scarcely 100 feet long and seventy-ive wide,
and large force of men kept constantly
employed to keep the road filed to the
grade, but despite all efforts the bed con-
tinues to sink some and the track is now at
least five feet below grade for at least fifty
feet Traffic on the road is not interrupted,
but the expense of repairing the grade daily
is great. The locality presents the appear
ance of having been shaken up by an earth
quake; trees have fallen to the ground with
roots exposed and the earth is checked by
cracks which seemingly grow wider everyday.

emy into Friend.
Letter in the New York Sun.
A well-known poet of Spain. de.
servedly famous for his work, was at
the same time a man of most ad
vanced radical opinions, and waged
such bitter and open war against the
regency that he was at last arrested,
tried and exiled. He was but scantily
endowed with the worlds goods, and
the wife and children he left behind
soon fell into absolute poverty. The
poet petitioned Queen Christina for
pardon in their behalf, and was at
once permitted by her to return to
Spain and to his family. He obtained
an audience and went in person to
tender his thanks to the sovereign and
offer the expressions of his gratitude
and homage. He was graciously treat
ed, less as the enemy that was than
the future friend.
Suddenly the queen said: "You are
not rich, senior; literary men of merit
seldom are, and you have large FAM
lily, have you not?"
II have six children, your majesty"
"Six," continued the queen: "then
there are three for you and three for
me-"
From that day the poets three
daughters were cared for and educated
at the queens expense, who considers
them as her special and personal
charge.

the government will pay for certain sanitary
work but not for nurses provisions and ply
sicians for the sick who are unable to pay
these charges themselves and for the general
relief of the thousands now out of employ
ment and who cannot be accom-
modated in the inadequate camp
of refuge, 1t was decided by the executive
committee of the citizens association in con-
ference with the board of health and the act
ing mayor to issue the following appeal:
To our friends and fellow citizens OF the
United States: We, the authorized repre-
sentatiyes of the citizens of Jacksonville, rec
ognizing the fact that tine epidemic has now
reached such O stage that our own funds are
insufficient either to cope with the many cases
of absolute necessity for the engagement OF
nurses or for numerous other demands upon
us; and, whereas, owing to the absence of all
business. many of our most liberal citizens
are unable to furnish further funds, We now
think we are justified in accepting the many
willing offers of aid that have been received
from you, We therefore wish our
fellow citizens Of the United States
to know that We will gratefully
receive the aid they have offered, and that
any contributions will be used for the bene-
fit of those in need, and where they will effect
the greatest good. We request that any
such contributions may be forwarded to
