Wellington r. Burt, of Saginaw,
made the charge that the Lake Su-
perior Consolidated mines, the
Rockefeller syndicate, were not max
ing an honest effort to develop some
iron ranges which he had leased to
them, thereby cheating him out of
his royalty. A settlement has been
reached whereby Mr. Burt is to get
a minimum of $4,000 q year from
his property.
A new counterfeit bill which is de-
clared by secret service officers to
be the most dangerous counterfeit
d aced in circulation since January,
1893, has been discovered. The bill
is counterfeit of a $40 legal tender
note of the series of 1880, bearing
the check letter A, the portrait of
Hamilton and a small carmine seal.
The bill is printed from engraved
plates of high order of excellence
and the paper used is of very de-
ceptive character. The counterfeit
so closely resembles the genuine bills
that it can scarcely be detected by
bank clerks. The most noticeable
defect is the portrait, which does
not stand out clearly.

Census Showed 713,60O Pupils
For the Year Ending
September 4th.
SALARIES OF TEACHERS.
Value OF all School
Property In the State is
$10,746,443.

While some 1gures are dry, Others
are of considerable public interest.
To the latter class belong some of
the statistical information contained
in the forthcoming annual report of
the superintendent of public in
struction.
The figures given are for the school
year ending September 4th last.
The superintendent received reports
from l, $50 townships and cities con-
tanning 692 graded school districts
and 6,46S ungraded school districts.
Besides there were lis township
unit districts in the state. The
graded school districts showa school
population OF 416, 1863, the ungraded
districts of 297 ,52l. The total school
census showed 1850, and the total
enrolment was 1866. The esti-
mated number of pupils attending
select schools in the state was 49,
568. There were 1899 teachers
employed in the public schools, and
the aggregate wages of all teachers
was $4,3l6, 036 II.
Male teachers in graded schools
were paid on an average Of $70.17
per month, and in ungraded schools
S2S.31, the average wages in all
schools being $44 4S. Women teach
ers are paid at the following average
rate. In graded schools, $43 20; in
angraded schools, S24 %; in all
schools, $35.35.
The amount Of money invested in
the schools Of the state constitutes
an interesting item. 1t is shown
that there are 6, 12l frame school
houses, 1,5l0 brick buildings, II
built of rstone and 271 Of logs. The
estimated value of all the school
property in the state is $40, ,746, 443.
The amount paid for buildings and
repairs during the year was S760, ,097,
for interest on loans $1l7, 1893, and
for all other purposes 81, 466, ,903, the
total expenditures of the year, in
cluding teachers salaries, being
S6 ,655, ,4S5. Toward the expenses of
the schools of the state the sum of
1,052.S7l was apportioned from the
primary school money of the state,
the rate per capita for the year be-
ing $50.
The school library system is be-
coming OF some consequence. There
are 43l townships reporting town
ship libraries containing 158, 900
volumes. There are also 1922 dis
trict libraries with 723 8l3 volumes.
Last year nearly $l4, 900 was ex-
pended for libraries.
During the year 81 state teachers
institutes were held They were at
tended by l,3l7 men and 5,097 wo-
men. The state appropriated 50 ,914
and there was received from the
county treasurers the sum of $11 ,257
for Institutes.
1t is announced that 695 districts
furnished free text Books to pupils.
The average length of the school
year in the state is reported at 8. II
months.

Items Of Interest Taken From

Condensed.
STATE TROOPS TO CAMP.
Island Lake Again Chosen AS
the Place For the Big
Gathering.

The copper country contingent OF
state troops will leave about August
9th for Island Lake to go into camp.
They will return about August 18th,
giving five days in camp. The route
to be taken to and from camp by the
upper peninsula companies this year
is one of the best the state has ever
arranged for them. 1t is partly by
rail and partly by water. The camp
this year will be one of the largest
ever held. No camp has been held
in the past two years and the mem
bers of every company in the state
need the outing. Again it will be
the first opportunity the older mem
bers have had to meet since they
returned from Cuba, and it will
serve to bring them together once
more. There are also number of
new men who have never been to
camp and this being their first op-
portunity all will be anxious to go.
Every company in the state will be
represented with it's full quota of
men.
Census returns for the upper PEN
insula OF Michigan will probably
show figures approximately as fol-
lows: Houghton, 5000; Hancock,
5000; Lake Linden, 4,000 Red
Jacket, 5000; Laurium, 5000; Ish-
peming, 1900; Negaunee, 5000;
Marquette, ll,000; Escanaba, 5000;
Menominee, II 900; Sault Ste. Marie,
5000; Norway 1000; Iron Mountain,
5000; Ironwood, 5000; Bessemer,
1000. Calumet is really the largest
upper peninsula town and the sec
ond largest mining camp in the
country, with 5000 mine employees
and 40, 900 population, but the cen
sus will not show this because the
camp called Calumet includes two
incorporated villages of Red Jacket
and Laurium, three townships, and
is located in two counties. The
town is three miles wide and nine
miles long and has easily the largest
population of any American town
! not incorporated as city.

MANAGEMENT OF THE NAILS.

In attending to the nails one OF the
most important points TO be observed is
the display of the lunar" at the base.
Brittle nails should be cut often and
prevented from growing long. Strong,
healthy nails may be permitted greater
length. always remembering, OF course.
that their beauty depends upon their
absolute cleanliness. A nallbrush
should be used at least twice daily.
La regard To the toe nails the great
precaution to bc taken is TO prevent the
edges OF the nail from growing into the
quick--s trouble that frequently hap
pens. When IL is likely to occur. the
feet should be bathed in hot water, SO
that the nail is softened. Then gently
raise up the corner of the nail and in
troduce beneath the part disposed to
enter the quick small piece OF lint
smeared with ointment. III this practice
Is followed for a few days, the nail will
soon incline TO different course.
Toe nails should always be cut square
first, then slightly rounded, the corners
remaining out OF the feshy part OF the
toe. II too much rounded. then the
pressure OF the shoe is too great on the
skin OF the toes. and the flesh Is forced
backward on To the nail, imbedding II
in the skin. The toe nails should be cut
and trimmed once month and should
be kept short.
Another remedy when they are inclin-
ed to run into the quick is TO cut a
small V shaped piece oui OF the center
OF the nail. which Is thus encouraged to
grow toward the center.
