When Bathing Wa. Rare.

In some old court memoirs of the
eighteenth century which have recent
" been called again to attention it is
stated that when George Nv was a
baby he was bathed only once a fort
night. That was thought to be plenty
often enough in those days for a child
to be washed. When one of Georges
little sisters had measles, the royal
mother gave most careful instructions
that the child's linen was not to be
changed too soon, as she feared that
some careless attendant would clothe
it in garments insufaciently aired and
so "drive in the rash." In those days
people were much afraid Of clean linen
and bathing. It was believed the COM
plete bodily ablutions were weakening,
yet prince, peer and peasant alike call
ed in at every ailment the doctors Of
the period, who bled them into a state
Of weakness and sometimes death.

The chief beauty Of the following
poem is that it is both rhyme and
blank verse-rhyme according to the
spelling and blank verse according to
the pronunciation:
Through twilight's gold l heard the wild ass bray
His love song. which resounded DER the quay,
While he, well knowing that for joy he should
Cavort in glcc, kicked up the messy mould,
And with the energy OF lusty youth
Once more let of hs everlasting mouth,
Which set on edge two polka dotted calves
Until they, too. oped wide their safety valves
And fed like roe, and I few like the wolf
Or cen the hit ball in the game Of golf.

Purchase of Hardwood Lands by
Cleveland-Cliffs Co., Makes
1t Look Probable.

The Marquette Mining Journal
says that it learns on most excellent
authority that the Cleveland Cliffs
company has purchased 1900 acres
of timber lands lying northwest OF
Marquette. The lands were bought
from the Michigan Land & Iron
company and are covered with q fine
growth of hardwood.
The inference which the general
public will draw from this purchase
is that the l.. S. & |. railroad, which
is in part owned by the leading
stockholders of the Cleveland. Cliffs
company, will build its proposed
line from Marquette to tap this
timber belt, possibly going as far
up as L'Anse. 1t need not neces-
sarily be inferred that the line will
be built this season, but the in.
ference will certainly be drawn that
its construction will not be delayed
more than q year or two.

L'ANSE SITE PREFERRED,
Immediate Steps Must BE Taken
as Company Desires to
Begin Work.

A. Mathews, of Marquette, repre-
sentng the Mass Mining Company,
and c. H. Krause, of the Tamarack
Osceola mills, were in town this
week looking over the site desired
by the Mass company for stamp
mill. Regarding their investigation
the following is taken from the
Houghton Gazette, of Friday:
Superintendent G. H. Krause, of
the Tamarack -Osceola cmills, who
was chosen by the officials Of the
Mass consolidated mining company
to select site suitable for the
erection of the mills of this com
pany, returned Wednesday from a
trip to L'Anse and Newtonvile.
Supt. krause has selected two sites,
either of which he thinks will meet
the requirements by reason of their
elevation and location. One is
within the limits OF the village Cf
l. Anse, and the second midway be-
tween Newtonville and Baraga. OF
the two sites he favorS the one at
L'Anse because of its situation in
the village, The property is owned
by S. L. Smith, of Detroit, Mr..
Mathews is negotiating for the
property recommended by Supt.
krause, and as the decision is left
to him he will select the site at
l. 'Anse if the price is within reason,
otherwise the ste bctweep Newton
vile and Baraga will be chosen
The citizens Of L'Anse are en-
thusiastic over the probability of
the mills being located in their VIII
lage and have held several meetings
and have promised material aid if
the company will locate there. 1t
is even probable that the village
will raise a bonus or bond the vii
lagc To aid in the work.
"Supt. Krause states that the
mills will employ between $50 and
300 men.
The decision of Mr.. Mathews will
be rendered soon as the Mass will
require u ,nill very shortly "
The above covers the situation en-
tirely, and it now remains for the
owner of the site and the people OF
l. Anse to decide.

Michigan Merchants Take the
Initiative in Denouncing the
Parcel Post.

Regarding the adoption Of the pa
eel post system which is being urged
upon the government by the metro.
politan department stores of the
country, a special sent out from
Washington this week says: The
country merchants of Michigan are
being heard on the subject of the
proposed parcel post system, and
they are uniformly against the prop
osition TO carry packages weighing
up to ten or twelve pounds through
the mails at a nominal rate, say of
20 cents for twelve-pound package.
Shonl this become a law the country
merchants trade on many articles,
and particularly those which give
him the most profit, would be trans
ferred to the large department
stores of the cities. Distance would
be no barrier to selling goods, and
the department store could send a
package across the continent as
cheaply as into the next town.

LAND OFFICE REGULATIONS
New Rules for Timber and Pub
lie Mineral Lands.

New rules and regulations gov
erning the use of timber on public
mineral lands of all mining states
have been formulated by the general
land Office. The land from which
timber may be felled or removed
under the provisions of this act
must be known to be of strictly
mineral character, and mot subject
to entry under existing law of the
United States, except for minera
entry. Parties who take timber
from the public lands under assumed
authority oDthis act must stand pre-
pared to show that their acts are
within the prescribed terms OF the
law granting such privilege the bur-
den being on such parties of proving
by a preponderance of evidence that
the land from which the timber is
taken is mineral within the mean
ing of the act" The privileges
granted are confined to citizens Of
the United States and other per-
sons, bona fde residents of the
states, territories, and other mineral
districts provided for in the act.
The uses for which timber may be
fe,led or removed are limited by the
wording of the act, building, agri.
cultural, mining, or other domestic
purposes. " No timber is permitted
TO be felled or removed for purposes
Of sale or traffic, or to manufacture
the same into lumber or other tim
Der product as an article Of mer-
chandise or for any other use what
soever, except as defined in section
4 Of these rules and regulations. No
timber cut or removed under the
provisions of this act may be trans
ported out Of the state or territory
where procured. No timber is per-
mitted to be used for smelling pur-
poses. smelling being separate
and distinct industry from that Of
mining. No growing trees OF any
kind whatsoever less than eight
inches in diameter are permitted to
be cut. Persons telling or removing
t mber under the provisions Of this
act must utilize all of each tree cut
that can be profitably used, and must
dispose of the tops, brush and other
refuse in such u manner as to pre-
vent the spread of forest fires.
These rules and regulations shall
take effect February ID, 1900, and
all existing rules and regulations
heretofore prescribed under said
act by this department, are hereby
rescinded.
