General Manager Fitch. OF the South
Shore, Assistant Manager Ketchum.
Bridge Superintendent Noon and other
officials OF that road were IN Houghton
Thursday and yesterday and were en-
gagged in strengthening out the difficulties
connected with the passage OF Portage
Lake by the D., S. s. Il A., a situation
that has been forced on the company by
certain exactions OF the government.
Generali.. Manager Fitch said that the
matters connected with crossing the lake
were now the principal reasons why the
change OF gauge to Calumet cannot be
made at once.
Regarding the dispatch in the Boston
News Bureau, dated Boston, which made
the simple statement that the C.. M. x
st. p. would build to Houghton this
year, Mr.. Fitch had nothing to say. 1t
ia surmised that knowledge OF the inten'
tons OF The st. Paul road, as stated in
the News. Bureau may be the incentive to
activity on the part OF the d., 5. s. x A
officials in attempting to hasten an
understanding with the government

Tale of a Repentant Dog.

A story comes from New Haven about
a black spaniel that distracted feath-
err buster from his owners house and
while playing with it tore out all the
feathers. The dog, after being shown
the featherless handle, was given Sc
we're whipping with it. He then disap-
peared, and about an hour afterward
walked bravely into the house with
brand new buster in his mouth. He
walked up to his mistress and meekly
deposited the new brush at her feet. BY
the mark on it she saw that it had been
stolen from neighboring store.

THEY CHANGE THEIR TIME.

watches Said to Reflect the Tenn
permanent of Their Owners.
There appears to be some occult con-
nection between q watch and its owner
Else why should timepiece go at one
speed on one person and at a different
one on another? Read what jeweler
has to say about the matter.
81 used to have a friend who had an
excellent Swiss watch, while had one
of another make. By mutual consent
at one time we exchanged watches and
though they had gone all right before
they changed their gait entirely, mine
running five minutes ahead in a couple
of days and his running five minutes
behind There was ten minutes differ
ence in our temperaments. But that is
nothing compared to the difference be-
tween some people. Sometimes n watch
that will run well on one man will not
go with another and there are some peo-
pie who cannot get a watch that will
run on them at all.
~ remember a good many years ago
l had a man come to my place with an
old-fashioned English lever silver watch
to be repaired. l had some very nice
gold watches in stock at the time and as
he looked well off tried to sell him one
but he laughed and said if any of the
gold watches l had in the store would
run "a hours in his pocket he would give
me twice what l asked for it. He said
he had tried all sorts of gold watches
and had never been able to get one that
would run while he had it. He had eN-
perimented with his brothers watch
only little while before, he said. and it
cost him $3.50 to have it demagnetized
after he had carried it in his pocket two
DAYS. Most silver watches acted the
same way with him but the old English
watch he was carrying had a double in
side case to it and worked fairly well.
1--WE never been able to tell whether
the average watch will run faster when
it is in its owners possession or not.
There seems to be no rule on the sub
iect, but can never regulate watch
on my swingboard there and then give
il to a customer and have it keep good
time Then there is a variation with a
change of vitality. A watch will ordi-
nariIy run slower the longer ii is car
ried after cleaning, because the oil dries
and the bearings are harder, but have
had customers come to me and say that
their watches had started up and gone
to gaining time several months after
they had been cleaned. l just tell them
that I can't account for it, except on a
theory of a change in their own vitality
and temperament. It's one of those
things that cannot be explained but it
is true nevertheless."-Ho Journal

DEPENDS ON FEEDING.
How to Turn a Promising Calf Into
Profitable Cow.

How to Turn n Promising Calf Into q
Profitable Cow.
When calves are intended to be
grown for cows it is great mistake to
feed them so heavily as to increase the
tendency to fatten. Often this can be
seen at birth in the thick, bull-like
neck and heavy head. In such case it
is best to fatten and sell to the butcher,
no matter what stock may be its ances-
try. But frequently also the calf which
seems to be all right for good mixer
is fed so heavily and on such fattening
food that its tendency for life to pro-
duce fat and beef rather than milk and
butter is fully established. To grow a
good COW the calf should not be stunted,
says American Cultivator. That will
impair digestion, which is just as i'm
portant for the COW as it is for beef
animal. Calves intended to be kept for
cows should have much succulent food,
with enough of the kind of nutrition re-
Quired to make large growth. Then 1t
will be well developed and come early
into heat. It is always advisable to
breed as early as possible. Then when
the tendency to milk production has
been fully established, good feeding
with the best food will turn the product
of the feed into the milk pail, where it
will be most for the farmers profit to
have it.

The abnormal floods along the Missis-
sippi river have provoked much discus
sion of ways and means for preventing
their future recurrence or for restrain
ing the swollen stream within safe im-
its. Some urge a stronger and higher
system of leyees; others the opening of
new, or reopening of old, channels.
through which the river may be partly
or wholly diverted from its present
course; and others vet other projects,
al, of course, involving the doing of
much work and the spending of much
money. The further suggestion is maze,
as applicable for the execution of any
OF these schemes, that the manual labor
required on the vast job shall be done by
the able-bodied inmates of the prisons
of the various interested states. This
suggestion is an eminently practical
one, and it leads to the further sugges-
ton that just such jobs afford the best
possible field for the employment Of
convict labor.
Country and suburban roads, for ex-
ample, which in all parts of the
union are in need of improvement. The
spring season is the best of all times
for bodybuilding. 1t is the very time
when farmers and villagers are most
busy with other matters and can least
well devote attention to the roads. And
it is the tiTeas when the housed-up pris-
oners are most in need CT wholesome oc-
eupation in the open air. There are
three elements of the problem which
unerringly point to its right solution.
Il to do work when it can best be done.
with the least possible disturbance of
other industries and at the lowest cost
to the proprietor and to the greatest
benefit to the workmen, and, indeed, to
all concerned-if that be business wis
dom, the inmates of our state prisons
should be set at road-making forthwith
In that way they will get the exercise
they need, the public will get the much
needed good roads, and there will be no
competition between convict and free
labor. How much the convicts need
such work is demonstrated in the Kings
county penitentiary, where the inmates
are reported to be in danger of going
mad, some of them actually doing so,
through enforced idleness. How much
improved roads are needed almost any
suburban or rural village will testify

JH Hale, the greatest peach grower
ON earth, gets ripe peaches two weeks
earlier by the following method: In
the middle of the growing season put
a strong wire around large arm of s
tree and twist it fairly tight. This
checks the flow of sap and causes fruit
buds to form early and in great number
The fruit on the branches of this arm
win ripen two weeks earlier than that
on the untreated branches and will be
much more highly colored. But this
part of the tree win be so weakened by
the treatment that il should be cut
away after fruiting that new shoots
may come and take its place. Thus one
large arm or limb of tree may be
forced each year.

INDIAN HOME LIFE.
Due Attention Paid to the NIceties
of BehaHfOr.

Due Attention Paid to the Niceties
of Behavior.
One would hardly suppose that there
could be particular rules as to the man
ner of sitting upon the ground; but
here, as in every part of Indian life,
there is a rigid observance of custom.
Men may properly sit upon their heels
or cross-legged, but no woman may as
sumo these attitudes. She must sit side
wise, gathering her feet we'll under her,
and make a broad, smooth lap. When
working she may kneel or squat, and
when resting she, as we'll as the men,
may sit with legs extended; but at all
other times men and women must OBJ
serve the etiquette of posture distinc-
tive of sex. To rise without touching
the ground with the hand, springing up
lightly and easily to the feet, is a bit of
good breeding very difficult to one not
to the manner born. Careful parents
are particular to train their children in
these niceties of behavior. Among the
Winnebagos the little girls are drilled
in the proper way of standing when
under observation on dress occasions
Their position of hands and feet ie also
the proper one for the women in GER
tain religious dances. While among the
Sioux. a mother with a good-sized FAM
lily of boys and girls propounded to me
the question whether white women did
not find their daughters more trouble
than Their sons; she was sure she did,
Look at those girls" said she; 81 have
their clothes to make, their hair to
braid, and to see that they learn how
to behave. Now, my boys are no
trouble" As 1 glanced at the group of
children, the glossy braids of the girls
falling over their single smocl, and the
boys, naked but for the breech-clout.
