The Iron Port of the World.

Escanaba is the county seat of Delta
county, Mich. 1t lies at the foot of the
great pine forests and overloobs Little
Day de Noquet, the head waters of Green
bay. Five years since it was practically
a village in the wilderness.
According to Mr.. Nursey's carefully
written report, capable of the fullest
verification, Escanaba is the greatest
iron port of the world. He tells us that
during the navigation season of 1890 it
shipped 100000 tons of iron ore, or
nearly double that of all the ore ports of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
combined. It's lumber output amounted
to about 120,000,OO0 feet, while the
freight capacity of the vessels entering
and clearing from its port exceeded
5000, 900 tons. This compares with the
tonnages Of the greatest seaports of the
world, which are: D London, 10, 900, 900;
(2) Liverpool, $4,000, 900; (3) New York,
1000, 900, and next comes Escanaba
with 5000, 900 tons--Iron.

An Abused Language.

1t is curious to note what vulgarisms
creep into the American language, even
the language spoken by well educated,
not to say cultured people. Just at
present the ear is narrowed by phrase,
or rather word, much used by our
bellies who assist afternoon hostesses at
that function called "tea. My dear,
says one girl to another, "Tm invited tc
pour for Mrs. Commonwealth next
Wednesday," "Oh, are you? Well, she
asked me to turn, but had another ell
gagement." Heavens and earth, /
thought, what is the meaning Of pour"
and "turn?" 1t was some time before
the verbs and their implied noun made
connection in my brain, and then the de-
sire to stand these young women in a
corner was so intense i retired to avoid
demonstration. The century has indeed
grown old and lazy where the tongue
finds so small word as "tea" difficult of
utterance. To pour tea is about as sim
pie phrase as can be spoken, and to
drop the final word tea is to render it in
tolerably vulgar. The custom at large
afternoon receptions here of having two
good looking girls perform this service,
generally imposed on servants in well
appointed houses in London, is thor
oughly American, and so, too. is the
abominable fault which has grown out of
it Boston Herald.

Kerosene Emulsion.

There is difference between kerosene
and kerosene emulsion in their effects on
plants. The emulsion is an excellent
insecticide, and also harmless to animals
and plants. To make the emulsion cut
up half a pound of hard soap and let it
ing add two gallons of kerosene, but first
remove the vessel from the fire to guard
against danger. Chuin the mixture, and
jelly will result, which will dissolve in
water without the kerosene rising to the
top of the water. The emulsion as
recommended will answer for 25 gallons
of water.

A LITTLE WOMAN.

Perhaps you never knew her. She
Was only known to those who love her
And still revere her memory
Pure as the stars that shine above her.
BY Gods strange providence bereft
OF father. mother. sisters, brothers,
And homeless, friendless, joyless left,
She freely gave her life for others.
Ifgrief she had we could not tell
We dared not ask. we never knew It;
Her heart was like hidden we'll
Deep, sealed. and only God saw through IL.
On errands sweet with mercy swift
She moved, her face of Joy the token;
Her willing hands the weight would lift
From many heart despairing, bro ken.
IN veal and woe, in calm and storm,
Smiling she trod the path of duty;
Rot beautiful in face or form,
For in her life was all the beauty.
Did any weep2 She wept with them;
Did any fall She comfort gave them;
And when the whole world would condemn
She stretched a woman's hand to save them
And many a sweet God bless her !" came
From the tender touch made human,
And lips all trembling, breathed her name,
And said: God bless that little woman"

The DUTY on Imported Gas.

The treasury department has approved
the action of the collector of customs at
Buffalo exacting duty on natural gas
imported into that district in pipes un-

objection is perceived to the course sug-
gested by him of requiring daily entries
of estimated quantities and the liquida-
ton at the end of the months according
to the quantities shown by the returns

A German Heroine.

Mrs. Meinders, wife Of the captain Of
the sailing ship Johanna, is at present
praised rs a heroine in Germany. On
the third day Of last April the Johanna
left Port Louis for the Island Of Mauri-
thus. Two days later yellow fever de-
veloyed on board the boat. One man
after the other succumbed to the disease
until finally only the pilot and captain
remained well. Soon, however, the cap
tain was confined to his bed with the
terrible disease, and Mrs Members, in
consequence, took command of the
vessel. She divided her time between
the sick beds and the wheel, which she
guided with enviable skill. Heavy
storms added to the difficulty Of her un-
expected task. They waged so fiercely,
in fact, that the brave woman was
obliged, with the aid Of the pilot, to
throw ESQ sacks Of sugar into the sea in
order to tighten the ballast. The sails,
too. were torn into shreds. At last,
damaged and worn, the good ship ar
rived at Freemantle, South Australia.
Mrs. Members was completely exhaust
ed from loss of sleep. She recovered
soon, however. and found her husband
restored to health. She had sav-a his
life and that of the sailors
