Local ice skaters will be interested in
the outcome Of the recent races at lsh-
peming, as one or two of Calumet's ice
skaters are contemplating entering races
at Ishpeming early in January. la the
last race Sib Larson was an easy winner,
distanciDg all of his five competitors.
Larson is the same skater who raced
here last winter and who was 40 easily
defeated by Dayey. Dayey afterward
beat him at Ishpeming. 1t is said. how
ever. that Larson is in much better con-
dition this winter than last and puts up
a better race. There is fast skater at
Negaunee named DeRocheau, whose
friends claim can defeat Larson. They
will have a matched race in the near flu
ture. Albert Dayey, of this city has en-
tered race to take place on the ID of

The report OF the district librarian for
the month, ending yesterday, shows a
marked falling off in the use OF the books
of the library, especially during the past
two weeks. This is accounted for by the
fact that the reading public has very
little time 10 spare during the holiday
season. The number OF books drawn for
the month was 3, 007, which il about 700
less than last month. The average num-
Der of books for one day is 12l, as COM
pared with 1871 for last month. The
largest number drawn in any one day was
2l0 and the lowest SO. The number of
cards issued to persons who had not
previously drawn books was Ill, which
makes total OF 1,61S who take advan-
tage of the library.

What is now the Ladies' Auxiliary TO
the strongest Hibernian organization in
the United States was organized here as
the Daughters OF Erin and ever since the
local society has been in good running
order, it has increased in every way with
remarkable rapidity. The change from
the Daughters of Erin to the Ladies'
Auxiliary was affected several years ago
and with the change of name several i'm
portant changes were made in the rules
OF the organization. Formerly no lady
was allowed to be member Of the aux
Hilary unless they were OF Irish parentage,
but now ladies whose husbands are Irish
are allowed TO join. The fact of its being
an auxiliary TO the order of Hibernans
made this change necessary and expedi-
ent.

singing. But we invite you to come an

those great singers have all the harmony
or not. And don't forget when you
leave your homes that there will be a col

tiquated He is a veritable back num-
ber. bound in antique vellum and
musty with age. Instead of boring an
artesian we'll and letting the compressed
water of the subterranean springs spout
out galore, he painfully digs a vast cav
ern, lines it with masonry and then rigs
up an antiquated apparatus, which was
invented by Abraham or t'YOkoub'' or
one of those old patriarchs who is claim
ed by the Arab as an ancestor in com
mon with the Jews. In fact, it was
probably to escape the hard labor at one
of these water mills that Hagar took
Ishmael and fed with him to the desert.
The most primitive of the apparatus
by which the water is raised consists of
a great cowskin, sewed together into
sack, open wide at one end and attach
ed to ropes passing over pulleys. In the
season of drought you hear their creak-
ing day and night, as they are then con-
stantly in motion, and the men, women,
children and donkeys labor necessarily.
If they fail to irrigate their palms and
gardens, then they all are likely to per

stock and plants depend upon their IN
ceasing efforts. As in Egypt, the Arabs
here sometimes make use of the ''shR-
doof, " a long pole made heavy at one
end and resting on a pivot, at the other
end large bucket OF water tight basket
which is lowered to the water and filed,
and as the heavy end of the pole goes
down turns its contents into a little gut
ter, whence it flows to the appointed
places.
Sometimes again they use the SAX
ish, = water mill of cogged wheels,
turned by a donkey or a camel. Each
revolution of the wheel brings up
series of earthen pitchers. which empty
the water into a trough or chanpel,
whence it is conveyed in shallow burrows
to the gardens. If one would see what
can be produced in the shape of a we'll,
he should visit the SO called Joseph g
we'll in the citadel at Cairo, which is 10
feet in diameter, 900 feet deep and with
a winding staircase to the bottom.
Given heat and moisture, one may
produce luXuriant vegetation on a bar
rem rock, and here the water has created
wonderfully beautiful gardens in the
midst of burning sands. As to the town
itself, it is composed mainly of mud
huts, and the hotel is by no means q
first class affair. I found it fairly good,
but fellow passenger of mine, a Brit
Usher, denounced it in unmeasured terma
because he couldn't get his tub, you
know, T" at 6 o'clock in the morning.
But the air is delicious, and there is
plenty of it; dates are abundant, Arabs
IN most picturesque costumes are every
where, and both nature and art have
combined to make of Biskra one of the
future sanitariums of the world. For
consumptiYes its climate rivals that of
