Michigan Mining School.

At recent meeting of the board of control of the Michigan Mining school 1t was unanimously decided to accept the recommendation of the faculty and adopt the elective system. This change continues the institution to the front, as having greater freedom for the student in the choice of the special subjects which he is to use on graduation. than is now given in any other technical school in the country. The new depar- ture does not cause the school to wander from it's particular field, in which it has already won national and European reputation; but it does permit the stu dent to follow branches for which he is best fitted.
 The unit of work is taken as three hours week in recitation, or nine hours week in the laboratory, etc. for thirty four weeks and any study taking this time is called a full course. A subject occupying a longer or shorter time is credited for it's proportionate part of a full course.
 To obtain the S. B. degree will require eighteen full courses. while the E. M degree requires the completion of twen- ty-two full courses.
 Owing to the fact that the mining school is in session for forty-fve weeks during the year, this elective system will enable good student to take his degree in either three or four years, depending upon the question whether he remains during the summer work or not.
 The working of this plan will be watched by all the schools in the eoun- try with great interest but it is not be- lieVed that it will lower the standard of education in the school at all, as what ever will be lost in breadth will be made up in greater thoroughness.
 This new departure is only one other proof of the same progressive spirit that has marked the Michivan Mining school since it's organization, and which, since 1890, has made it one of the leading tech nical schools in the country ry-Copper Country Evening News.

CENTRAL SILVER CLUB, The Name of an Organization
 Born Yesterday. LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED Present at the Christening Speeches Made by Some of Those Present-0fi-
 cers Elected and Rescla-
 tions Adopted.

The much advertised meeting for the organization of silver league was held in Erswell's hall at noon yesterday, and when Colonel Shepard called the meeting to order there were just sixty white men and eight negroes in the hall. This. of course, does not include two reporters. who were present in the discharge of their duties.
 Conspicuous in the hall were Colonel Shepard Mir w H. Skaggs, chairman of the state Jeffersonian executive com mittee, MT. Mccoy. c. B. Powell, Mr Makimsom, Dr. Darby, Dr. Ragsdale and others less known.
 Col A. K. Shepard called the meeting to order few minutes after noon, and nominated Dr. Green for chairman. Dr. Green was elected and took the chair.
 He said: Fellow citizens, l thank you for the honor conferred on me. We are called together here today to take some action on the silver question:" He then read the call for the convention that had been published in the local papers re- gently, and stated that a secretary would be needed.
 Colonel Shepard nominated T. S. Forbes for secretary, and he was elected
 Colonel Shepard moved that commit tee of five from different parts of the county be appointed to consider reSou- tions and formulate a constitution for the silver club The motion prevailed and the committee consists of Col. A. K Shepard, J. T. Reed, Dr. Ragsdale, Will liam Huffman and c. B. Powell
 MT. Forbes suggested that Capt. W. c. Ward be called on for speech and CapA tain Ward came to the stage.
 He said: q am here at the invitation of Colonel Shepard, and it was brought about by an interview I gave 0 State req porter. l have not come here to join the silver club. have passed the age when it is proper for me to change my asso- citations. When young I joined the dem- ocratic party and the Baptist church. In 1861 l went on what turned out to be a mistake, and I don't want any more. I am in favor of raising tax on imports and of abolishing all revenue taxes, and l am in favor of gold and silver for money. There is, I understand, $100 000- 900 less of silver in the United States than gold, and I think silver should be brought up to the gold. The money sharks have gone to the treasury and drawn out gold and thus forced bond issues My policy is to refund the national debt as it falls due with bond issues at per cent, or less, If possible, and let these bonds cir

new book by Robert Bridges c'Droch'), the author of "Qverheard in Already will be published soon by the Scribners. It is called Suppressed Chapters" and contains informal criti- cism, comment and satire on popular au- thors and books of the present time. Among the people discussed are An thony Hope, Du Maurier, Hall Caine, Barrie. Crockett Crawford J. K. Bangs and c. D. Gibson the artist. and such widely read books as "Trilby, Lord Ormont," .'Tess" and "The Jungle Book"
 The volume is bound uniformly with "Oyerheard in Already" and no doubt will prove a great treat
 Attractive little books are those in the Violet Series, in which "rhe Silence of the Maharajah." by Marie Corell, is just published. This is a strongly drawn etching of social life in India, and a se- ries of brilliantgsketehes made in tiny pages and bound in violet boards, which should become very popular.
 Tn Stevenson's Samoa" by Miss Marie Fraser, is simple narrative of what happened during the writer's visit to the lamented Teller of Tales" How they passed the days and learned something of the gentle philosophy of the idle, laughing islanders; of the many picnies and excursions which followed each other quickly in this pleasant island home. All charmingly related as in letter to a friend.
 Among new editions is found Society Pictures by George Du Maurier, a re- printed collection of the famous draw ings from Punch, extending from 1875 to 1890, in paper, 50 cents.
 It has been announced that MT. Du Maurier's new story is a very long one: that 1t deals with life in France and England, and that it will be called "The Martians" PAUL PRY

How to Avoid Colds.

There is one simple way of avoiding
colds-keep your mouth shut when out
of doors. The man or woman who comes
out of a close room, especially late at
night, and breathes through the mouth
will either catch a bad cold or irritate
the lungs sufficiently to cause annoyance
and unpleasantness. If people would
just keep their mouths shut and breathe
through their noses, this difficulty and
danger would be avoided. Chills are
often the result Of people talking freely
while out of doors just after leaving a
poorly ventilated room. 1t is during
youth that the greater number of man
kind contract habits of Inflammation
which make their whole lives a tissue
of disorders.

How to Make a Dolls House.

Take a wooden box about feet long
and ~ feet wide. This will cost a
quarter of a dollar. Put the lid on
hinges and stand the box ON end, the
lid forming the door or side of the house
that can be set wide open. Fit in two
shelves for floors and cut four holes for
windows on each floor. Fill these in
with window glass found around the
house. Paint the outside of the house
with a warm yellow with white around
the windows. Cover the walls with old
blue cartridge paper with a frieze of
pale yellow roses and olive pattern ON
the second story. Samples of wall paper
are often given away by dealers and
would therefore cost nothing. If paper
must be bought, use instead pale tinted
silesia or cambria with little frill at
the top. Fasten to the wall with tacks.
Add little curtains of lace or cheesecloth
and make rugs or carpets of bits Of old
carpets or heavy cloth.

HYBRID CANNAS.
These Popular Plants Are Cheap and Very
Easy Co Cultivate.

Easy TO Cultivate.
Not many years ago, when only the
old species and varieties, such as Indica
flaccida, robusta, brenningsii, etc., were
TO be met with, very little interest was
aroused; they were grown chiefly as
'subtropicals for their foliage effect
With the introduction of Nine. Crozy, a
new era began and new type of hybrids
was created, which was found to suii
admirably our hot summers and produce
large and beautiful spikes of bloom
when other plants were burned out, or
partially so. Its success as bedding
plant was assured, and the propagation
increased millionfold.
Until recently the French'groYers had
been looked to for new varieties, hence
the name French Cannas." The tables
are now turned, and seedlings of merit
are produced at home with such rapidity
that there is danger of a perfect inunda
tion of names, which eventually may he
very confusing. 1t has been repeated
over and over again that Nine. Crozy
would never be beaten, that no seedlings
would ever come up to its standard
But, according to American Gardening,
that argument no longer holds good,
the American Seeding Columbia taking
that place, ranking now as perhaps the
most perfect flower introduced. The
color, very rich crimson, with most
beautiful tone, is backed up by the full.
est and best balanced flower yet found
in cannas, forming the most compact
and symmetrical spike, the foliage being
equally stocky, distinct and compact.
Another American Gamma, which prom
ises to be the finest scarlet flower ever
yet offered, is the f. r. Pierson. The
trusses are of immense size. Mrs. Fair
man Rogers is still another American
Gamma said to rival the Crozy, with larger
flowers and rounder truss. The Eldorado,
French Gamma, will possibly rank as
the best yellow Gamma up to date.
The Gamma delights in good, rich soil
and plenty of it, abundant sunshine and
copious waterings. 1t multiplies readily
at the roots, which in the fall are di.
vided and can be stored away in dry Gel
lar or ON shelves, or under benches in
the greenhouse

How to Care For a Lamp.

Oil in lamp should not be allowed
to get down to less than one-half the
depth Of the reservoir. Xhe wick should
be soft and completely fill the space for
it, but without crowding. A lamp should
be neither suddenly cooled nor exposed
to the draft. In extinguishing the flame
the wick should first be turned far down
and then sharp, quick puff blown
across and not straight down upon the
flame

,oY coMs1r wlrr rHe MORNING

The longest, darkest night must wane.
Joy doth the sunshine bring.
The deepest loss must yield some gain
For future blossoming.
No hope so quenched in sullen fears
But buds can newly blow.
NO sin 50 black but contr1te tears
Can wash 1t white as snow.
No life 80 wrecked but some strong spars
Remain TO build anew.
Behind dark clouds fash golden stars,
And soon their light CLEANS through.
The smallest talent soonest turns,
Increasing as It's given,
No friend so false but tTuer ones
BY his defect are shriven.
o doubling mourner, natures truth
Exhales upon Gods pir.
All and in all is heavenly truth,
And heaven is everywhere.

HOW TO CARE foa THE SKIN.
The Bath IL valuable, but There Are NJ any
Necessary Accessories.


While all baths are good for lie skin,
except in certain peculiar CASTS, the hot
bath has advantages over the cold in
that it opens the pores and thus encour-
ages the escape of mattef that would 9th
erwise clog the system aH impair the
general health. When only one bath
day is possible, if that must be cold, it
should be preceded by a sponging from
head TO foot in warm water.
Valuable accompaniments to the bath
are the bags of bran, oatmeal or almond
meal sold by druggists. A little borax
or ammonia added to the water is ex-
cellent for people with greasy skins. A
bathing glove of Turkish toweling may
be used by those who prefer this to a
sponge or wash cloth. Hard rubbing
with a rough towel after the bath as
sists the action of the skin.
The woman who desires a good com
plexion must wash her face carefully
If soap is used, it must be Of the best,
and every particle of it must be rinsed
off before drying the face Use the hands
or a soft cloth or sponge, and except in
rare cases, do not wash the face more
than once,a day.
Water alone will not thoroughly
cleanse the skin. If the face is gently
but thoroughly rubbed with cold cream
and then wiped off with flannel, the
CRIME thatw will be coaxed from the pores
will give mute evidence TO the truth OF
the statement. This process should be
gone through at least once a week.
In every city there are establishments
for facial steaming and massage, where
better results are possible than can be
obtained at home. Still, even home
treatment is preferable to neglect, and
if a woman possesses a face steamer she
can manage very well. Lacking this she
must improvise a steamer.
There are two ways of doing this al
home. One way is TO set teakettle OF
boiling water over strong alcohol lamp
and then insert wide mouthed funnel
in the spout. As the water boils the
steam will pour from the funnel into
the patients face. She should cover her
head with sunbonnet shaped construc.
tion Of stiff brown paper.
Another way of steaming is to hold the
face above a basin of boiling water,
throwing over the head large towel
that will hang down ON all sides and
prevent the escape Of the steam. With
either method the steaming must be kept
mp until the pores are opened and the
perspiration flows freely.

Ono Way to Plant a Lawn.

This is a method for planting a lawn
recommended by a Connecticut CORE
spondent: Get the kind of grass desired
and break it up into small rooted pieces
plant with trowel about six inches OF
so apart, and then roll the whole smooth
ly. Kentucky blue grass, set out in this
way, would meet each center before
midsummer, and make nice, even lawn
before then. Aside from this, one must
either sod the whole of it or sow grass
seed.

wide cuffs An effort was made to increase
the size Of the sleeves, but this idea was
abandoned on account of the extra full
ness being inconvenient under q blazer.
The tendency toward elaborateness In
tailor made dresses Is a matter of regret to
many who have relied upon plain costumes
OF this sort for ordinary wear. 1t is scarce
ly to be expected that fashion will run
quite mad on this line, but there Is far
less simplicity than formerly In most OF
the tailor suits that are shown in the ready
made assortments.
Plaids are more worn than ever In Paris
and are of all varieties-large and small,
heavy blacks and delicate lines. The colors
are bright, and these plaid weaves are
brought out In all the popular goods, the
newest thing being plaid crepon. These are
liked for travelling and other hard service,
as at the mountains or seashore. Serges
with wide and narrow ribs, soft cheviots
and alpacas are also among the fashionable
materials for these purposes. Alpaca, that
goods which was last fashionable In our
mothers young days, Is decidedly to the
front and Is made up into tailor costumes
which are light and cool as well as ex-
tremely smart looking.
An illustration is given of a travelling
gown of fax blue English serge. The
skirt, which Is rather short, is ornamented
with stitched bands. The bodice is a
blouse Of white mohair, over which Is worn
q loose open jacket of serge trimmed with
bands like the skirt and having metal but
tons. The white turnover collar Is formed
Of square tabs. A sailor hat is worn,
trimmed with white moire
