The North Shore Line.

h. w. Nichols, county surveyor of
st. Louis county with corps of sur
Veyors and engineers is engaged in
running the lines of the proposed
Grand Marais & North Shore railroad.
The road is TO run along the north
shore of Lake Superior to Port Arth-
UT, The Cook County Herald in
speaking Of the enterprise says: The
timber interests on the North Shore
are actively behind the enterprise be-
cause the construction of this road IA
the only way by which they can mar
ket their extensive holdings in the
country. Alger, Smith & Co., of
Detroit, and other large pine firms
are heartily in accord with this enter
prise and record the timber interests
of sufficient importance to construct
and equip the road. That being the
case the important mineral wealth Of
Lake and Cook counties as well as the
large gold interests in the Rainy Lake
country only add to the value Of this
railroad enterprise as business in
vestment.

REMEMBER THE MAINE"
Petition to be Sent to President MeKin,rx
from Duluth

from Duluth.
Inc following petition was in cir
culation in Duluth the fore part az
the week and was signed by all trpe-
blue Americans and represents the
feelings Of almost the entire citizens
of this country:
I'VE the undersigned, citizens of the
United States, with all due respect.
suggest to the president and senate.
that the destruction of the battle
ship Maine in the harbor of Havana
was not an act of war, but was pre-
meditated murder, resulting in the
death OF 266 officers and sailors of orr
navy. No treaty of peace with Spain
which does not provide for the trial
and punishment upon conviction Of
the murderers should be acouiesced
In by the government of the United
States. nor should Spain be allowed
to escape the payment of a liberal
money indemnity to the relatives Of
the victims of that crime.
with nine-tenths of the American
people the destruction of the Maine
was reason for war. No cause for war
could be more just and honorable. on
Inc part OF any nation, than the un-
provoked murder of its citizens in
time of peace.
Therefore, we respectfully ask the
president and senate to conclude M
peace with Spain which does not pro-
vide for the surrender and trial of
those malefactors, and for the pav-
ment OF Indemnity to the families of
those who were murdered.
1--WE believe that the conclusion of
treaty exacting no reparation for
the slaughter of our sailors would be
dishonorable to our country, and we
believe this to be the feeling of the
great majority OF the United
States.''

body or other before she left the town.
The man bowed, and supposed her la

being made sensible how much she was
In earnest. he went out In search of a
man that would marry fine lady
without asking questions. After many
repulses from poor fellows who were
not desperate enough for such a ven.
ture, he met with an excise man, who
said he could not be in a worse condi-
ton than he was" and accordingly
went with the innkeeper and made a
tender of himself, which was all he
had to bestow on the lady. who imme-
diately went with him to one who gave
them liccuse and made them man

spouse Zoo, and without more delay
left the town and the bridegroom to
find out who she was or uuriddIe this
strange adventure. Soon after she was
gone two gentlemen came into the
town In full pursuit Of her; they had
traced her so far upon the road. and,
finding the inn where she had put up,
they examined into all the particulars
OF her conduct. and on hearing she was
married gave up their pursuit and turn

Where Fingers Are Clumsy.

The countries where the long finger
nail Is most affected are Siam. Assam,
Cochin China and China. The an.
proved length varies from three or -four
to twenty-three inches. A Siamese ex.
quisite permits the nails on his fingers
to grow to such an extent that his
hands are practically useless. The ar.
lstocrats who affect these nails can.
not write, dress themselves or even
feed themselves.
The Siamese hold the long finger nail
In the same reverence we hold the
family tree. Many of them never have
their nails cut from the day of their
birth. On the first finger the nail is of
moderate length-three or four inches
while on the other fingers the nails
grow occasionally to two feet. The
thumb nail, which Is also allowed to
grow long. after reaching a certain
length curves around like a corkscrew.
In both China and Siam the owners
or long nails wear metal cases over
them to preserve them, made Of gold
or silver, and jeweled. While long
nails are not regarded as singular in
China. they are rarely met with except
on fanatics and pedantic scholars.
Among the fakirs In Hindocstan a
peculiar custom Is that of holding the
hand tightly clenched and In one posi-.
ton so long that at last the nails grow
through the palm, emerging at the
back Of the hand and growing thence
almost to the wrist When the wasted
muscles refuse to support the arm any
longer 1t is bound in position with
cords.
In Nubia the long nail is regarded as
indicative of good breeding. The arIs.

growth.

ON IN. MO HORSES.


Animal Friends.
A driver should study and know the
horse he Is to drive. Being familiar
the very important things. A driver
must also know how the horse should
be fed, II he has no one upon whom be
can implicitly rely to do the feeding.
Reviewing these general matters OF
both driving and feeding, a writer ON
the horse says that some can drive
thirty or even forty miles at a good rate
OF speed and have the animal In better
condition at the end than another after
driving the same horse five miles. 1t II
not by any means driving fast that In
lures a horse SO much as improper drfv-
Ing. Often more strength and vitality
u taken out of horse In two niles
OF fretting, through the mismanage-
ment Of the driver. than In going sew
cral times this distance with proper
sare. Some men cannot drive without
whip In their hands. whether It In
needed or not, and, while there Is no
doubt that In some cases the whip Ii
necessary, yet 1t is often the cause OF
more fretting on the part Of lively
horse than any one thing. The driver
fresh he can stand 1t to be driven fast
at the start for several miles, and then
given chance to rest by going slow. or
who drives fast for a while and then
slows down to q walk In order to rest
up for another squirt, will not get the
best speed out OF horse with the least
waste of vitality, especially in going
long distances. 1t Is a steady gait that
counts most and wears the horse least.
Give him chance to get warmed up
nrst, and then let the gait be a steady
one. Another item is not to feed too
heavily before driving. A light feed Of
oats will be far better than heavier
feed Of a more bulky grain. Exercise
or action too soon after eating retards
digestion, and the animal that must
travel Mt a good gait with a loaded
stomach cannot but show the effects,
and II driven rapidly for even a short
distance after eating a hearty menl
there Ia considerable risk of the collie.
Watering properly Is fully as important
as feeding. When a horse Is being driv-
en- on the road he should not Mt any
time be allowed to overcharge his stom-
ach with large quantity Of water. So
far as Is possible the rule should be to
give water frequently. and, while he
should have all he will drink, 1t should
be given In small doses. A horse In
good health can stand more work and
more driving without injury than one
that Is in any way out OF condition.
The feed and care should be such as are
best calculated to maintain health and
condition. and then when on the road
care must be taken to use his strength
and vigor to the best advantage.
