GRAYLING. MICHIGAN, THURSDAY MARCH Y, 1891.
MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE .ii'iIi

THE House Committee on State Affairs on
the 3D. reported favorably bill changing
the method of taxing the express companies
doing business In this State. Under the, ,ex-
tsting law the companies pay per cent, Of
their net earnings, and the new measure
seeks to change this to per cent, of the
gross earnings between Michigan points, and
would materially increase the amount at
present received by the State from this
source A favorable report was also made
on bill prohibiting the taking of fish from
any of the inland waters OF Michigan save
by hook and line The bill provides that
its operation may be suspended In any
county by two-thirds vote of the board OF
supervisors there. The Senate passed to
third reading the bill granting municipal
suffrage to women.
THE report OF the investigating commit
tee on the State Public Board of Control
was the special order In the Senate on the
4th. The minority report was substituted
for the majority by a vote of II to 22. The
former demanded the censure OF the Board
OF Control and the removal of Superintend-
ent Newkirk. The latter censured Newklrk.
but left the matter of his retention with the
board without censure. A joint resolution
for the submission OF an amendment to the
constitution to the people increasing the
salary of the Attorney General to $500
was defeated In the House Doremus gave
notice of a motion for reccnsideration.
THE Woman's Municipal Suffrage bill was
placed upon its passage In the Senate on
the 5th, and discussion occupying nearly
the entire session followed, when vote
was taken. The bill was defeated by vote
Of IA TO IL, less than enough to pass IL. The
vote was reconsidered and tabled. Flldew's
bill for repeal OF what is known as the
Baker conspiracy law of 1881 was
defeated In the House by vote OF forty
nine 10 twenty two less than a majority.
A motion to reconsider was noticed. Tho
law as IL stands admits the bringing in of
Pinkerton men, or others from outside the
State, for service In suppressing acts Of vioA
lence in cases OF rikes. The resolution
passed both branches for the printing of
1000 copies of the proceedings of the Joint
memorial exercises In honor OF Sherman and
Porter in Representative Hall.
NOTHING OF imp )rtance was done In
either branch OF the Legislature on the 9th.
and both adjourned until the evening OF the
9th, at 0.15.

Enrland,s Great Gums.

The British warship Tuunderer has
received the first four specimens of a
gun from which great things are ex-
pected. The original armament of the
Thunderer consisted of two 38-ton and
two 35-ton muzzle-loading guns, and it
may be remembered that one of these
burst. in the course of practice, inside
the turret, with fatal results. It was
pretty generally believed that the
cause of the accident was that the gun
had been twice loaded before firing.
The new guns, two Of which are mount
ed on each turret, are of 10-inch caliber
aud 30 tons weight. The total length
is 26 feet 10 inches, the projectile
weighs 500 pounds, and the full charge
of powder is, as is now usual, just half
that weight. At range of 1000 yards
it is calculated to pierce 81 inches of
wrought-iron plate.

sues estions About OH Lamps.

The oil reservoir should be of metal,
rather than of china or glass. Wicks
should be soft and not too tightly
plated. Wicks should be dried at the
fire before being put into the lamps,
and should be only just long enough to
reach the bottom of the oil rese DIR.
They should be just wide enough to
fill the wick holder without being
squeezed into 1t, and should be soaked
with oil before being LII. The reser-
voir should be quite filed with oil
every time before using the lamp.
The lamp should be thoroughly clean,
all oil should be carefully wiped off,
and all chared wick and dirt removed
before lighting. When the lamp is
lit the wick should be at first turned
down, and then slowly raised. Lamps
which have no extinguishipg appara-
tus should be put out as follows: The
wick should be turned down until there
is only small, Pickering flame. and q
sharp puff of breath should then be
sent across the top of the chimney, but
not down it.-Hedrth and Hall.

For sober Thoueht.

WE sadly need TO DO touched by the
power of a great spiritual regeneration;
this common life is pivoted upon two
great and radical errors from which we
can find no refuge except in the spirit Of
the gospel of Christ These are that
enjoyment of some kind Is the true end
of life, and second the belief that pain
and sufferings are life's greatest calami-
ties. And when we attempt to con-
struct theory OF life or a plan OF So
ciety upon the basis OF these mistakes,
we see nothing but inoxplIcahle changes

An Impress,ye spectacle

The spectacle of fire engine rush
ing through the streets at night with
two big horses galloping wildly and the
sparks flying allow and aloft is impress
sive even when the engines are of av-
erage size. The new three horse en-
gines make such a clatter and uproar
that they drown the noise of the old
one. A few nights since when the
wind was blowing a gale, an engine
with three big, powerful fire horses
harnessed abreast went through upper
Broadway at pace which suggested
runaway at every plunge. the horses
which look so solid, bony and muscular
in repose, galloped with the grace Of
cats. They seemed to be fired with
life, aud their massive hoofs beat q
tattoo on the pavement which could be
heard quarter of a mile away. A
train of sparks ran out from between
the wheels, and puffs of spark-laden
smoke were blown high in the air.
The drivers arms were barred, and he
sawed on the reins with all his strength
in an apparent effort to get control Of
the horses. 1t was q perfect picture
of runaway, but when the fre-plug
was reached shout of command arose
from the driver which could be heard
above the din, and the three horses
braced their fore feet and almost slid
along in their efforts to stop at the
word. They were perfectly trained
and absolutely under the control of the
driver, but very few men would have
given nickel for the fireman's chances
behind the galloping horses when they
glanced at him.-NeW York World.
