What bothered Him.

Senator Y. made il known, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, that he was looking for
a furnished residence He was accord
ingly beset by agents and the owners OF
houses. A woman of wealth who owns
a very handsome house followed the
senator from pillar to post, and finally,
70 get rid of her, he promised to go
through the house. Now, senator, !"
said she, when they had thoroughly in
spected it and had stopped in the draw
ing room to talk the matter over, Il
am going TO rent this house to you for a
mere song because | am so anxious to
have some one III it who will keep
things up. "How much, madam,
demanded the senator, "do you propose
TO ask for your house by the Year,"
"Four thousand five hundred dollars, +"
said the lady, land at that price think
it is the most reasonable house in town. !"
The senator walked to the window and
stood with his hands in his pockets
looking out. He remained in this atti-
tude for so long time that his guide
went up to him. "What are you looking
at, SENATOR" she asked. Il am not look
ing" said the senator; Il am think
ing. "Well, what are you thinking
about?" MY dear madam, am think
ing" replied the senator courteously,

Accounts on q Stick.

Two centuries ago it wasn't as easy a
matter to keep accounts as it is now.
Not only were many people ignorant Of
writing and arithmetic, but paper and
account books were scarce and rare. For
this reason merchants, doctors, lawyers
and even the government of Great Brit
ain kept their accounts by making
notches on willow sticks, very much as
a boy would tally runs in game Of
ball.
Small notches represented pence,
larger ones shillings and still larger
ones pounds sterling When the account
was all notched out, the stick was split
down its length so that the notches
would show OH both pieces. One half
was given TO the buyer and one half was
retained by the seller. When the &C.
count was paid, these tally sticks were
joined together and laid away. One can
imagine how much work and trouble
such system would make in these days
of great business enterprises. Chicago

Gestures and Traits.

DR.. Norman Moore, whose enormous
experience in the post mortem room
gives weight to his words, expressed in
recent address the general desire of
pathologists TO find some law of correla-
ton between defects of different parts
of the body, but ne had abandoned the
hope, for it was only exceptionally that
abnormalities of one organ were associ-
ated with those of others. Movements
of an unusual character, odd gestures
or antics may certainly be accompanied
by mental qualities of very high order
An example of which may be noted in
DIR. Johnson. So, again, large ears are
not necessary signs Of mental defect, for
they may be observed in individuals of
great mental capacity, and the repeated
series of movements OH which such
stress has been laid should be regarded
merely as habits. London Letter in
New York Medical Record.

LaurIum Council Meeting.

The Laurium common council met last
evening and held an interesting session.
After allowing the usual number of bills
and regular batch OF officers salaries,
the council got down to business. 1t
was decided to let the contract for the
ditch digging on the old Torch Lake
road, or First street, to Louis Braun
The contract calls for the digging of q
900 feet OF bitches, laying the pipe and
filing in the holes again, Tor 81 800.
The village will furnish the pipe, which
has been purchased from John Pryor.
Nineteen hundred feet OF 24-inch pipe will
be used, besides 800 feet Of 20-inch pipe,
300 feet OF 1S-inch pipe and 800 feet Of
II inch pipe. This pipe will be laid IA
soon as possible and will be the start OF
a sewerage system. The council also de-
cided to advertise for bids for building
nine manholes and thirteen catch basins.

Care of the Cow.

1t is by physicians and scientists
considered of the utmost Importance
that the milk supply be regulated and
watched over with thousand times
more vigilance than has ever before
been done. tuberculosis may get firmly
rooted in the cows system and continue
there for long time before any danger
is suspected. First of all things, it is
necessary that a healthy COW be select
ed, then that she have every advantage
of bealthful conditions. Crowding,
dampness and darkness are serious
faults in the buildings where COWS are
kept. Milk for bottle babies should not
be furnished from COWS kept in badly
ventilated and i'll smelling buildings.
a very small proportion of the milk
furnished to cities is fit for the use Of
infants. If the present state Of things
continues, there will of necessity be "a
revolution i'll society and consumers
will demand the enactment of sanitary
laws as regards COWS and will insist
that every regulation be complied with.

Parnell.

Many people set him down merely as
man who, ont of some sort of sinister
purpose or malignity, wished to inter-
fere with and harass, obstruct and irri-
tate every English government and the
whole house of commons. Mr. Parnell
had no feeling of the kind. His was a
deliberate purpose, and it was even by
the process of evaporation that he tried
co fix the attention of the house and the
country on the fact that there was an
Irish national demand which it would
be necessary to listen to and TO take
into consideration. Parnell's creed was
that the house of commons was the one
great public platform of the country.
From that platform he was determined
TO appeal to and arouse the English peo-
pie. Therefore he said in substance to
the house of commons, "If you will not
listen to our Irish national claim, then
we will not allow you to discuss any
other question whatever of which we
can prevent the discussion. "
He acted on the inspiration of the
woman i'll the eastern story-of which
woman he had probably never heard
who, having tried in vain 10 get petit
tion delivered to the sultan. took her
place with her little children in the
public street and waited until the sui
tan rode that way and then flung her.
self and babes in front of his horses
hoofs and declared that she would not
move from that spot until he had lis
tened to her appeal or had trampled her
meaning of the later policy Of obstruc-
ton. 1t had its effect.-From "A His
tory of Our Own Times" by Justin

The street improvements which have
been made in Red Jacket 40 extensively
ia the past few years will be continued
this summer aud every effort will be
made 70 put the avenues OF the town in
the best condition possible. President
Vivian. who has made the street Improve
ments a study, and who is we'll posted on
the work, thinks the amygdaloid rock
taken out of the mines and thrown on
the stock piles would beexcellsnt material
for topping or GROWING of the streets.
The president and some of the council
went TO the kearsarge mine yesterday,
where they found exactly the kind OF
rock they wanted, but they came TO the
conclusion that it would cost altogether
too much 70 get 1t TO Red Jacket. The
rock can be had for the asking, but
trestle would have TO be built into the
stock pile so the teams could get at it
and then the two-mile haul to the city
would come high.
II il il impossible Ia get the rock that
is wanted for the topping of OF the
streets, the old rock breaker which was
used two summers ago, when a great deal
OF the street improvements were made,
will be started again. The breaker is at
the Tamarack mine and could be put in
running order at little expense. II the
amygdaloid rock il not used, hard trap

and used instead. Por land, Oak and

These all have good solid roadbeos and

is now in as good condition as an asphalt
avenue. ID 1a.4

faulty. The rock put on in wagon loads
and a years usage makes it rolling, there
being depression in the space between
where each load was dumped. In order
to remedy this part of the roadbed it will
have TO be torn up and levered.

Another Rumor.

Rumors concering the changes TO be
made in the local railroad conveniences
are still afloat and one OF them is caus-
ing Red Jacket business men considerable
uneasiness. 1t is to TIE effect that the
wide guage freight depot will be built
somewhere in the vicinity Of the Tama-
rack round house instead OF using the
Red Jacket depot for freight purposes as
was at first rumored. This would make
it very inconvenient for the business
houses and would necessitate a long haul
OF all their freight.

Tobacco on Muck Land.

An Orlando correspondent writing
the Times-U Union and Citizen says:
''E. w. Schauneberger, of Pinecas-
tie, reports that his experiment with
Suma ira tobacco on muck land has
been great success so far as the pro-
duction of fine, silky leaf is con-
cerned. just what may he the exact
result when the process of curing is
complete is still problem. If this
final result meets expectations, he is
satisfied well-drained muck land will
prove all that can be desired in the
production of wrapper tobacco. He
fortified his land to stimulate a
quick growth, and planted close to-
gether to prevent rank and coarse
growth. The result is a light, thin
leaf, soft and satin-like in texture,
and a very bright COLOR
