marble men know that the sur.

agent in a marble quarry he
would be ridiculed, as he should,

extend a great distance in the

ton but that there is any amount

Joseph Sellwood takes excep-
tons TO an article in the last
issue of the Iron Trade Review,
wherein it is stated that the
amount Of ore likely to be shipp-
ed down the lakes this year will
fall considerably below 10000.
900 tons and that 16. 900. 600 tons
will be nearer the exact figures,
says the Duluth News Tribune.
Mr.. Sellwood says $50, 900 tons
have already been shipped all
rail this season. while 3.265, S89
tons were shipped in May, and a
conservative estimate for June
is 3, 200, 900, which would bring
the total up to 7,215,8oS by the
last of the present month. For
the cake of making as conserva-
tive an estimate as possible" "
said Mr.. Sellwood, we will con-
cede q reduction on what has
boS,s -aenn- of Ok pns- oa.a4
and place the shipments at $500,
900 tons month for the next
five months. and we will have
IL. 500, 900 tons. This, added TO
the total shipments up TO the
close OF the month will give 10, {.
us, 1888 tons, but have no hesi-
fancy in predicting that the
will be greater than that.
1t appears TO me that the Iron
Trade Journal has made its
estimates without substantial
data, and is very misleading, to
say the least" President Great
singer, of the Duluth & Iron
Range railroad, said last night
that the $4,000, 900 tons would
be more accurate. He said.
why enough ore has already
been sold, which, added TO what
we know the manufacturers are
compelled to buy, will bring the
total up TO the figure l have
mentioned. Carnegie will ship
this whole quota of ore out of
Ely this year without a doubt.
While it is occasionally heard
that furnacemen would bc will
ing TO have some revision of the
prices on their ore contracts, il
is needless to say that such a
suggestion would not be taken
seriously by any seller. Fur
nacemen made large profits last
year, in part at the expense Of
the ore trade, and the mining
companies will insist on taking
all that comes from the prices

Our Modern Minaryas.

1t is incontestible that the intellect of
our country is fast being represented
by our daughters. The last report of the
superintendent of public instruction of
Pennsylvania is significant. 1t shows
the number of high school graduates in
that state, for the year 1899, to have
been 3,476, of which 2,122 were girls
or nearly twice as many girls as boys
who pursue the higher public school
course. The majority of teachers in
the state are women.
How much wiser to grant this educated
American womankind enfranchisement
and representation in our government
than to confer upon newly naturalized,
illiterate immigrants the dangerous pow-
er of the ballot Conservatism, not JUS
tice, regards these brainy women and
girls as political interiors. With wo-
men forging ahead in all the professions
but few years when the imperative
demand will be for womanly council in
our national legislation.
It is noticeable that, whenever the
question of woman suffrage has been
submitted, the objection has come from
the unassimliated foreign and slum vote
American men, whose observation of
womankind has been formed at Ameri-
can hearthstones, are prompt to admit
equality.
+ In the four states of our union where
women and men legislate on equal terms
there is no discrimination against the
sex in wages or position. Ability is the
test.
All hail! then, to these Minerva
daughters, who are designed to bring
into the family of the future a higher

born Of parents equal in family and

A few years ag6 biologists confidently
asserted that at dtiss die period In the earth's
history a great gfcS cap came moving
down from the polar regions and swept
over North America, as far south as
latitude 3S, carrying. with it great
boulders-which lie about on slopes and
hilltops to this day to prove it--and
scratching the record Of its movement
upon cliffs and ledges.l Then this ice
cap kindly melted and disappeared. This
was taught in the schools, and to doubt
was heresy, for science, when it takes up
theory, is dogmatic, and all geologists
said:e Behold, how wonderful is our
knowledge; what secrets we can wrest
from the past!" After while science
rather gave UP the polar ice theory and
laid down new dogma-that of a single
continental Ice sheet for North America.
The recent Investigations of officers
OF the Canadian geological survey prove
that the scientists evolved their glacial
theory out of vivid imagination. It
has been found that in North Alaska
there is no evidence that part of the
country was ever covered by glacier
in fact, conclusive evidence exists that
it was not. At the mouth Of the Nc
Kenzie river is plenty of evidence II
glacial action, and also that the glacier
which left its records came from the
south. On the western shores of Hud-
son Bay are marks of a glacier which
came from the west, and on the eastern
shores OF one which came from the east.
Cast of the Canadian Rockies is a long
belt which shows no evidence of ever
having been exposed to glacial action.
These and similar discoveries have put
the geologists 'all at sea-" and they now
have evolved new theory regarding the
glacial period. It is that one big glacier
did not at one time cover all the North
American continent, but that several
glaciers, moving at different times from
different centers of distribution, made
their way in different directions and left
the glacial records which now are
found. They have even given names to
these glaciers. such as the "Cordillerian
glacier" the Labradorian glacier" and
the 'Keewatin glacier" Prof. Lawson,
OF the University of California, in writ
Monthly, says that as yet it cannot be
said that the succession of these great
glaciers in time has been established

acceptance but IL hlsqa Seems to have little

A tank steak has its advantages over
other stsaks in thst II can Be used in
several economical way2 It can be
broiled or fried; II the latter, be sure to
keep the cover on during the first few
moments, as It win make It more juicy.
If you do not need 1t all for a fry, you
can always cut some Of It OF and keep
for stew next day. Still another
way to prepare it is to make dressing,
as for turkey, and roll the flank steak
with the dressing in it, tie with strings,
and bake In oven for half an hour.
Lamb is always an acceptable dish.
To have really fine portion costs too
much for an ordinary income, but you
can still have your lamb If you know
how to buy and prepare it. Get piece
of the shoulder; have it cut in small
pieces, boil it in cold water until it is
tender, then roll in egg and cracker dust
and fry in butter or lard. Season while
cooking.
To properly fry apples is not generally
known. You must not peel them, but
wash them off, cut in thin slices, put in
some butter in frying pan. and when
hot turn them into it, sprinkle sugar
over them, and keep covered until soft,
then remove the lid to let them brown.
Macaroni can be used in making an
excellent dish for supper Boil it with
some stewing beef, and serve with cheese
or tomato souce. Another good dish
for supper is to take few tomatoes;
add to them one onion, some stale bread,
little milk, season well, then put in
a baking dish and brown in oven
When one grows weary Of white bread,
graham bread can be easily made. As
very few people care for much of it, a
small quantity can be made in the fol-
lowing manner First put on the stove,
open end down, two old tomato cans,
let them stay there until the tops drop
off, then wash them and grease we'll
with lard. Take pint of sour milk,
add to that very scant half-teaspoon
full OF soda, stir we'll through the milk,
then add half cupful Of molasses, half
teaspOOnful of salt, and when we'll
mixed add graham -four and about three
tablespoonfuls Of corn mean to make a
stiff batter; pour into the tin cans, fill
ing them only half full; bake in slow
oven, giving them plenty of time Try
them with a straw as for cake.
Corn bread is delicious when made
after good recipe. 1 give one here
that can be depended upon. Into one
quart of sour milk ntir a teaspoonful of
soda until it fcams up, then add three
we'll beaten eggs, tablespoonful of
sugar, one teaspoonful of SALT one cup
full Of flour, three tablespoonfuls of drip
pings-ham fat or bacon preferred-then
add sufficient corn mean to make a thick
batter but be careful not to put much
soda in; it will not fail to be delight to
all. Bake in a moderate oven.

The End of Man.

The world is growing better every day,
The pessimist who gazes on the clod
Sees naught but base, disintegrated clay.
His vision, circumscribed, cannot be-
hold " -...
The signs of growth apparent every
where
TO him, more wise, who looks around
and up,
Who looks behind and sees what has
been done,
Who looks ahead and sees what is to
come,
Gods wheels turn ever forward-never
back,
His laws are fixed and cannot be op-
posed;
All nature bows and man is not exempt
The mighty waves of human progress
beat
Increasingly upon the shores of time,
And will not stay till man shall cease
to be,
AS some swift river, rushing to the sea,
Becomes enamored of rock bound
deep,
And, pausing in it's course, turns round
and round,
AS if unwilling to pursue it's way.
So our advancement to the perfect state
Is sometimes checked by that mysterious
power,
Which rules the destines Of worlds and
men,
But as the stream, refreshed by rest,
goes on,
With force and volume greater than be-
fore,
So we renew our march and, strengthen
ed, rise,
In thoughts and words and deeds to
heights undreamed,
Decadence is an incident OF growth
The flower that dies will live again next
year,
And others of it's kind will bring to
bloom
And add their charm to natures boun-
teous store.
A nation. too. declines and passing,
leaves
Naught but a name to place on history's
page.
But from its seed better people spring
And add momentum to the worlds ad-
vance.
And so our lofty destiny unfolds
AS step by step we're drawn towards
that great light
Which emanates from Him from whom
we sprang,
And unto whom we go. That is our
goal;
For surely as the end Of life is death
The end OF man is God.
