Moving the Depot.

The work OF moving the old Mineral
Range depot from it's former site to the
loot of Portland street where il will be
used as freight depot is now being
pushed as rapidly as possibility Contrac
tor Butler. To get the building out oil
it's old position was the hardest part oil
the job, but now that it issquarely on the
street it ought TO be moved along with
considerable rapidity. The work will be
done under the direction OF the village
street commissioner and will be prose
cuted both day and night from now on.
The village allowed the contractor ten
days to move the building through the
streets. The building is kept on the
move. but very slowly. A large crowd OF
spectators stood around the building all
afternoon yesterday watching the work.

We live on a Narrow Margin.

A very small schange in the present
condition of our earth would imme-
diately kill every living being upon its
surface An eastern writer comments
on the fact that we live on very mar
row margin A little more heat or a
little more cold, and we die. Our ex-
istence depends on keeping changes Of
temperature within range of about
| per cent of what we know as possible
extremes. If the moon were very much
larger, the tidal wave would carry the
entire ocean twice a day over the sur
face of the earth If the earth were
much smaller, we would lose our at
mosphere; if it were much larger, we
could not stand upright more than five
minutes, nor would we be able to mount
hill except by painful crawling. If the
year were twice as long as it is, it is
doubtful If we could raise food enough
in the summer to carry US through the
winter or if we could survive the ac-
cumulated cold. In every way our earth
lies just at the meeting point Of two
kinds of death, which ION this bank
and shoal of time" we must fight with
either hand. 1t makes no difference
whether we have fitted ourselves to the
earth through long series of evolution
or whether it was fitted to US. AS far
as we know it is the only inhabitable
spot in the universe, and the chances
are almost infinite that no other is so
favorably located. Let us make the
most we can of it.-Chicago Record.

A couple OF youugters lately committed
a rather highhanded piece of thieyery at
Louis Sibilsky's store and were brought
before Justice Fisher to answer the
charge. The boys went into the store
and began looking over the stock OF nit
tens. they were rather small boys and
as they did not go TO any of the CLERKS
they were hardly noticed in the store.
Finally one OF the boys apparently found
pair that suited them and be put them
on and started for the door. when one OF
the clerks noticed the boys and collared
the two OF them. When in court the
youngsters acknowledged that they
wanted new mittens and thought that
an easy way to get them. One OF the
boys, the one who took the mittens was
sentenced to the Industrial school at
Lansing, until he came OF age. but it was
decided after ard to suspend sentence
during the good behavior Of the boy.
The other youngster who said that he
didn't want pair OF mittens himself but
merely went in TO assist his chum was
discharged from custody.
The boys were badly frightened and
were evident y taught a lesson they will
not forget soon.

Why Flower. Are Fragrant.

Nature has provided ways and means
for all of the offices which it is her Pc
culiar province TO fill. Why flowers are
fragrant has often been discussed Bot
anists have decided that the fertiliza-
lion is largely accomplished through
the agency of insects that pass from one
flower TO another in search of food.
They become covered with pollen from
one blossom, which they III turn scatter
upon others. The accuracy and compre-
hensiveness of natures plans are illus
trated by the fact that while the in
sect may visit hundred sorts OF plants
in day the pollen of one has no effect
save upon that particular species to
which it belongs The bumblebee, for
example becomes loaded with yellow
dust, but this is of no value as fer
tilizer TO the multitude of other plants.
1t is related that lupine grows in
California sometimes completely COW
ering large tracts of land. Its bright
purplish crimson blossoms are so album
dant that they color the surface OF the
country and can be seen for long dis
lance. These blossoms have powerful
fragrance, but are not nectar yielding,
therefore bees rarely visit them. 1t.
however, produces very large quantities
of pollen, and the winged creatures
that seek this food carry on the proc
esses of cross fertilization in the mosr
satisfactory manner Whether the in
sect is attracted by the fragrance or
whether it instinctively knows where
the pollen grows has not been decided.
At all events the bee is wise enough not
to waste time on flowers which secrete
no nectar, and why should not its con-
temporaries exercise equal intelligence?

Roomiug at Baraga.

Alderman John Knivel and Mr.. james
Smith were visitors in Baraga and
L'Anse yesterday, returning home on the
evening train. The alderman went Town
on business for the Pabst Brewing com
papy which now enjoys lucratiyetrade
The trade in those places has steadily
increased since Mr.. Knivel has taken
hold OF the agency.
They say that Baraga people are all
enthusiastic over the proposed erection
of the stamp mill near their town. II

there seems to be something more than
idle talk in the matter, as Messrs. knivel

Steer Clear or the Marshal.

The marshal says that the instructions
recently given the different dealers in re.
gard to the enforcement Of the cigarette
Law il apparently havin e its desired Effect
Either the small boy who was in the
b abit OF using the "snipes" il doing it on
the quiet or ia purch asing his cigarettes
out Of town. At any rate the boys are
all steering shy OF the marshal, for he
says he hasn't seen one boy under the
required age using cigarettes since it was
decided to see that the law in this regard
was properly and strictly enforced,
The dealers also say that the marshals
declaration seems to have frig ntened
the boys, for they have had but few calls
for cigarettes from boys under age oil
late, while previously it was common
occurrence to sell several dozen boxes a
day to boys.

The Knife Was sharp.

Earnest Schmalzried, the cook at the
early last evening. He was cutting some
beef with an extra sharp knife when it
slipped and inflicted deep cash in his
wrist. The blood flowed very freely for
a time and it was thought that an artery
had been severed. DR.. Blankner was
summoned and he dressed the wound
which did not prove as serious as at first
supposed. The cook was able to be on
duty as usual after the physician had
finished his work. His own presence OF
mind IN stopping:the flow OF blood prob
ably prevented any serious result from
the accident.

be buried tomorrow friday morning.

sons residence at 10 o'clock and proceed
to ST. Louis church where a requiem
mass will be sung and the remains Will

was given in yesterdays issue "a 62, it
should have been 80 The old lady had
scarcely been sick day in her life. She
attended church as usual the day OF her
death and about 3 o'clock in the evening
went out as was her wont, to see that
the doors of the shop were locked. Dur
ing the night Mr.. Monroe heard noise
in his mothers room and going there
found her sitting no partly dressed and
upon asking il she were i'll said she felt as
il she were choking. He Immediately
called for light and directed one OF bis
children to go for a doctor, which order
Mrs. Monroe countermanded, saying she
would be better directly. As soon as a
light was obtained Mr.. Monroe saw by
his mothers face that she was suffering
greatly and Immediately sent one OF his
sons for doctor, but before his arrival
the end had come, Mrs. Monroe having
peacefully passed away in herson's arms.
