Nothing Very Rus hing.

Occasional trades in ore are report
ed, but chiefly through resales, and
in part from the sale of Mesaba nom
Bessemers, which ore to be mined in
larger quantity than in any proceed
ing year. In recent sale 10000 tons
OF non-Bessemer ores were bought
for eastern shipment, to be mixed
with native ore in one of the fur
naces the boom has called into actiy-
ity. Plans for ore consumption the
coming year contemplate unprece-
denied shipments by the leading in
terests. In Pittsburg the largest
company will handle well above 4 900,
900 tons, exclusive OF some purchased
ores. justifying the estimate of about
2, 500, 900 tons of billets and finished
material.-Iron Trade Review.

The Iron Trade Review has pub
lished for several weeks, parts Of a
paper on Lake Superior mining, read
before the Engineers Society OF
Western Pennsylvania, at Pittsburg,
by Nelson P Hulst, manager or the
Oliver interests, Feb, 81, 1899. The
last issue gives an interesting des-
sription Of the caving system en-
ployed at the Chandler, which We re-
produce for the benefit OF our readers
who are not familiar with this meth
cd of mining. The paper says:
"At the Chandler mine on the Yer

ing not largely differing from the
others described. This mine being Sc
prominent producer and its ore a
brecciated hard ore, makes it seem
desirable that the method OF mining

kindly furnished me by Mr.. John

THE CITY CAUCUSES.
Considerable Sport on Tap Thursday -
the Convention


the Convention.
Those who figured to have every
thing their own way at the caucuses
Thursday and Friday nights were
doomed to disappointment as a fair
proportional opposition was manifest
with the exception Of the second
ward where Aldermen Knutson and
Housley had the field to themselves.
The merry aldermanic war had pro-
crossed all day and Thursday evening
when the meeting was called to order
it was at its heighth. In the First
ward George Holmes and Anton Kot-
cheVar had announced themselves al
candidates early in the season and 10
was supposed smooth sailing would
be had by these two. Late in the
afternoon A. d. Ellefsen and John
Glode hoped into the set and carried
the caucuses with round majority.
In the Third ward, opposition to
the only avOwed candidate. E. J. Cox.
was drummed up at late hour in
the persons of Alderman Skala and
Jos. Hopperton. The latter won out
OF the caucus.
Friday evening the general caucus
for the nomination Of city oficen
took place at the city hall. 81. B.
Sturtevant was made chairman, J.
A. Armstrong clerk and E. F. Mead
and Anton Kotchevar judges. The
balloting was brisk and in the neigh
borhood of $50 votes were cast.
The mayors chair was an easy
walkaway for Mayor McMahan he
besting his opponent, Frank Hodge,
by hundred votes. David Brown
was almost the unanimous choice for
city clerk few scattering votes being
cast. Rumors of other aspirants
were however plenty but the scare
did not go. For treasurer w. T.
James had no opposition.
The fight of the evening was GEN.
tered in the municipal judgeship for
which nomination FL. Van Blarcom
and Chas. A. Rothoff strove. When
the dust had cleared away and the
ballots were counted it was found
Rothoff was several laps behind and
Van was declared the winner. The
special judgeship, position Of con-
siderable purport, being almost equal
to the judgeship proper, as usual
went begging and as usual all sorts
of what is termed fun here came int
play. Chas. r. Bale was declared the
nominee, he having bested his vari-
Gus and varied opponents by several
ballots.
The assessorship was warmly con-
tested for by Thomas Jury and george
Kelly the present incumbent. Mr..
Jury was nominated with consider
able votes to spare.
The defeated candidates have all
dropped ont with the exception OF
Mr.. Kelly. Both Mr.. Holmes and
Kotchevar had filed their nominating
petitions but have since dropped ont.
In the Third ward Ed. Cox has fled
nominating papers and will try his
run for alderman.
Do your duty by them next Tuesday.

Her hand was lying lightly on my
arm, for these words interchanged be-
tween us as walked with her to the
end of our street.
"You forget" she said, "that the
shells you gave me have voices, and
that when you put them to your ears
and close your eyes, you can see and
hear things
"Ah, that's like my little Mabel, like
my little maid that have always
loved Look at me, Mabel, am I
changed?"

She put the question laughingly, and
with the prettiest little toss of her
beautiful head. / gazed at her in full
est admiration.

in foreign lands; for then Should have
wondered, Can this be the little Ma
bel left behind me?'. I should have
doubted until you spoke to me. Fer
your voice Is not altered"
"Nor MY heart" she said, softly.
A sweet and sudden joy stirred
within me at these simple words. In
the cndeavor to set down my feelings
here, am not sure that shall sue
coed in making myself understood,
especially when I remember. that Ma
bel was a girl of seventeen, and a
man of forty. I had never given
much thought to women; I had been
satisfied with my old mothers love,
and for the last ten years with the
love of a child. They were enough for
my thoughts to turn to during my voy-
ages, and they formed, as it might be,
q star which shone brightly for me
during the darkest night and through
the tlercest storm. But now that I
came home, and, without forewarning
or thought of it, found in the place of
the child a woman, with all a woman's
soul shining out of her eyes, and pro-
claiming itself-at least to my fancy
in every graceful action of her beauti-
full form-now it was different, and it
opened new channels for my thoughts
to wander in. Why, when I caressed
the child Mabel, and played with her
fingers, I had no other idea but that
we two were good friends, and would
forever remain So she always a child,
ard I always rough man. Now the
pressure of her soft fingers remained
upon my hand for hours, the light of
her beautiful eyes was ever before me,
the sound of her sweet voice fingered
in my ears like the faint music of
harp which needs but the whisper OF
a summers breeze to awaken it's
sweetest melody. How often during
.ny next two voyages these new i'm
pressions came upon me l cannot say,

BonBoNs OF ANCIENT oRlclN.

I =
sugar Plums. PastilIes, and Burnt al.
monds Date Back to III b. q.
The most popular and most ancient
Of bonbons are sugar plums, pastilles
and burnt almonds, but how many
persons know their history? Sugar
plums date from Roman times, for
the Romans were the first to think OF
covering almonds with layers of sugar.
The inventor was certain Julius
Dragatuss noted confectioner, who
belonged to the illustrious patrician
family Of Fabius. He made this great
discovery, which has wrought so much
damage to our teeth for twenty CEN
turtles, in the year III B. C.
These bonbons, called dragati, after
their inventor (dragees in Trench), re-
manned the exclusive privilege of the
family of Fabius. But at the birth or
the marriage of one of that family a
great distribution of dragati took
place as sign of rejoicing. This Gus
tom is still observed by many Of the
nobility Of Europe.
The pastille is of far later origin.
having been invented and introduced
into France by an Italian confectioner,
the Florentine John Pastilla, a pro-
tege of the Medicis. When Marie de
Medici married Henry Nv. of France
Pastilla accompanied his sovereign to
the French court, where his bonbons
had tremendous vogue. Everybody
wanted the Florentine's pastilles, and,
strange to say, they were perfection
from the beginning. He made them
with all kinds Of favors-chocolate
coffee, rose, violet, mint, wine, straw
berry, raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope,
carnations!
Burnt almonds are purely of French
origin, owing their inception to the
gluttony of a certain French merchant.
One day Marshal Duplessis- Pralin, an
old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, his
chief confectioner, and promised him
a great price for some new sweet that
would please his palate, dulled as it
was by all the pleasures of the table.
Lassagne, who had already invented
many a toothsome dainty, was a man
of resource. He searched, he reflected,
he combined, until finally he conceiv-
ed a delicious bonbon, which he bap-
tized gloriously with the name of his
master, Praline, the French for burnt
almond
This is the history of the invention
of bonbons, for all others are mere
combinations or developments of these
three-the sugar plum. the pastille and
the burnt alMond.-New York Herald
