Legal Rights Hanging On Breath.

The birth of child even if it lives but
msment, often has an important effect
on the disposition of property. In a re-
cent case in Kentucky, a widower claimed
curtesy, or the right to life estate in the
lands of his wife. He would only have
the estate if child had been born of the
marriage. Thirty-fve years before the
case arose q child had been born which
the attending physicians declared was
alive for moment, though it died after
drawing few breaths. The Kentucky
Court of Appeals decided that the life Of
the child had been sufficiently proven to
give the father the estate curtesy. BY the
Scotch law the child must be heard to cry
and no slighter evidence is allowed; in
France and Germany the respiration of the
child affords proof of life.

COUNTY commissioners throughout the
state are not in love with that production
of the last Legislature known as the Baker
Ballot Reform Bill ON account of the
additional costs it puts upon the county.
In both the securing of place to hold the
election and the printing of the tickets the
county win be put to extra expense. Under
the new law the Australian voting system
will be used to the extent that it is neces-
sary to have booths or stalls. In many
districts the elections are hold in the school
houses, but when the new law goes into
effect in March, 1892, there will have to be
q change Of base, az it will not DO to build
the stalls in the school houses. The law
says that when suitable place cannot be
obtained the county commissioners will
build house. Under this arrangement
many new buildings will have to be erect
cd. The printing, too, viii come off the
county, except in township and municipal
elections. Heretofore the candidates paid
for the printing of the tickets.
The commercial agent Of the United
States at Limoges, Mr.. Walter r. Griffin,
to whom special directions were given for
the collection Of full data Of the prospects
Of the wheat harvest in Europe for this
year, has made report to the State De-
partment, from which there can be no
question that Europe viii be obliged to
come to the United States for the largest
portion of her wheat supply. Last years
wheat produced in Europe was 225, 900, 900
hectoliters, and Mr.. Griffin estimates the
product this year till, ,oOO, 600 hectoliters.
leaving as deficit, as compsred with last
year, of ia, ,000, 900 hectooliters, of which
about 14fO00, 900 will be supplied by
foreign countries other than United States.
But here are 100, 900, 900 hectoliters of wheat
to be supplied which Europe raised herself
last year. The only field toward which
the Europeans are turning for the extra
supply is the United States, and from oui
reported home crop prospects we shall
be able to give them all they may want

M,chiqan's Mineral Wealth.

The report of the Commissioner Of
Mineral Statistics for the year end
ing September l. 1890, made to Gov.
Winans, states that nearly one-half
the iron ore produced in the United
States was mined in Michigan, the
amount being 1851 tons, with n
market value of 81, ,OOO,OOO and was
worth at the mines at least $40, ,O0O. 600,
and all of superior quality. The
average of the ore sent away from the
Superior region in 1890 was above 50
per cent. metallic iron, while much of
it ran much higher. About one-half
OF this ore was the Bessemer, which
contains so small a percentage of phos.
phorus as to be manufactured into
Bessemer steel. The ores OF Lake
Superior are far richer and far better
fhan any other, and none have beer

IMPORTANT DILL" BUSINESS.
The article credited TO the New York
Press going the rounds of the papers. in
which it is alleged that unfavorable act
ion has been taken in the New York
Legislature against the Royal Baking
Powder, proves to have been canard,
gotten up and circulated by opposition
baking powder makers for purposes
quite apparent to every one.
The New York Press, in exposing the
fraud, says: "No such legislation as
that stated in this article has ever been
had in this State-or in any legislation,
to our knowledge" The lie is made
from whole cloth. The Press disciaims
any responsibility tor tho Publication,

MAJ ket. Long before the opening of
1890 the seasons product of ore had
been sold ut mn advance of f'om so
prices for 1889 md the outlook for the
iron mining districts was most gratify-
ing, but at the opening season OF 1891
IL was not encouraging The amount
OF ore in Cleveland and other Lake Erie
ports was reported at 3,S00,000 gross
tons, q million and quarter larger
than ever befo e.
The highest p i'o secured for iron
ore in 1897 was S7.a5 per ton, harl
ores, which were GO per cent iron.
The best hard ores sold for $500 per
ton an adyance of 81 over 1889. There
were imported into the United States,
chiefly ON Spain and Cuba, in 1890
$500, 600 tons OF ore.
A plan las been considered OF estab-
fishing large plants ut Marquette for
the manufacture of pig iron, steel and
machinery and bring coke there for the
purpose, IN the belief that fuel could be
transported to the ores as cheaply as
tho ore to the fuel, and large percent
age of cheaper grade ores could be
snleltes! that it does not now pay to
ship.
Iron-laden vessels from Marquette to
Cleveland could return coal-laden. and
it could DO coked ut Marquette and
otter points. The outlook is that there
will he material falling off in ore pro-
duction in 1891. The price Of pig iron
is now very low Ore is supplied at so
cents to 81 per ton less than in 1890.
The production of pig iron has multi
piled three fold in ten years, it having
amounted to more than $500, 900 tons
in 1890. The average prices per ton
