TO IDENTIFY THE BABIES.
Nave Them Tattoosd to Avoid the Risk
of Mixing Them.

Marking children for the purposes
OF Identification is the latest fad In
foreign fashionable circles, says the
Philadelphia Record. This Is done by
tattooing and several skilled men and
women are making handsome sums of
money by operating upon them and
their elders. 1t seems as II this fad
for disfguring the beautiful skin of the
body has taken too firm a hold upon
the moneyed class to die away until
everybody Of note has been marked
Then some fine day restless tickle
fRncied beauty will discover that she
has tired OF features of the man she
thought she loved when they were
ground into her white flesh, and sud
denly up will spring small army of
skilled operators who will pick out the
Objectionable marks and charge a
pretty penny for the job. The fad will
gradually die out, but the value OF
tattooing will never be disputed as
long as abduction occupies the atten-
ton of the wicked. Hosts OF children
could be lost and never traced because
they have no distinguishing marks, not
even moles, whose location could be re-
membered. The tattooed places need
not be large or ugly, but they should
be unique to fully answer their pur-
pose. Owing to the use OF cocaine
very little pain goes with tho opera
ton, and even delicate children are
qot much inconverlienced by 1t.

ELECTRICITY IN CHURCHES.
Tho Most Modern Appliances Brought
Into Use in These Edificos.

Electricity is put to various uses in
churches; in no other buildings in
fact it is more commonly employed.
In this city all new churches are pro-
vided with electrical equipment; and
many old churches, also, have been
similarly equipped. The same is
substantially true of all cities and
towns inf which there are to be found
electric plants. Some churches have
complete plants of their own on the
premises, but the greater number take
the current from the street main.
Besides its use for lighting rur-
poses electricity is commonly en-
ployed in churches for running q
motor to operate the organ bellows.
This motor can be set in motion, or
stopped, by the organist as he sits in
his place at the keyboard, simply by
the turning of switch; and, in opera
lion, it accomm odates itself to tho
demands upon it, running slower
when the bellows is full, and faster
again, as it is emptied.
In the newer churches-and such
appliances have also been put in 10
older churches-the organ itself is
provided with electrical appliances by
means of which the valves of the or
gan pipes arc opened. Formerly this
was done by means OF mechanical APP
oliances that were operated by the
pressing down of the key. Now, each |
key is connectel by wire with the
valve of the pipe to which it belongs, |
and when key is pressed down its
wire is brought into contact with
supply wire running along under the
the circuit is closed, and
oy means of the power thus trans
nitted along the wire from the key
ihe valve is opened. 1t is, of course,
Kept open until the contact is broken
oy the release of the key. Organs
set up in separate sections in church
are connected by wire in the same
manner and readily played from the
same keyboard; and the new organs,
however situated in church, are now
likely to be provided with electrical
keyboards.
Church chimes are now played by
electricity from keyboard like that

NEW IRON FINDS.

The Michipicoten district near
the Canadian Sault, continues to
turn out surpaises in the mineral
line. The latest is new iron field
adjacent TO Dog river, relatively sit
uated about fifteen miles north of
Lake Superior and twenty miles
west of the Michipicoten harbor.
For years it has been known that
this vicinity contained iron ore, the
first record being the old field notes
of the Herrick survey line. This
line was surveyed in 1864 and was
made by the Ontario government
with view of creating a military
and post road around Lake Super
ior toward the Northwest Territory,
but nothing came of it and though
the work seemed a waste of time
and money it is now proving of
considerable value in the explora-
tions going on.
Numerous deposits of red hema-
tite have been uncovered this sea-
son and at present the field is fairly
we'll covered by prospectors, includ-
ing the interests of the Minnesota
Iron company and the Algoma Gen.
trail railroad. At the delta of Dog
river is fine natural harbor that
will insure safe and commodious
means of lake shipment in the event
of a sufficient supply of iron ore be-
ing found. This, of course, would
include short line of railroad rum
ming to the point. That the ore is
in abundance is evident from the
great activity going on at present,
for it has attracted all the best pros
pectors il the Michipicoten district.

The property is a big one, though
the ore is not of very high grade.
In the 28O acres there is ore enough
to make experts guess all the way
from 100000 to 5O,OOO,OOO tons. 1t
is located eight miles east of Biwab-
TX, and spur of the D. NJ. & N. will
doubtless be built to the mine. The
lease runs forty-nine years, and
calls tor minimum output of 1OO,-
600 tons at 15 cent royalty. It is
said that the ore has been sold to
the Carnegie Steel company.
The biggest ore shippers in the
Lake Superior fields are lined up in
about this position: Oliver Iron
Mining Co., with intended shipments
of about 100000 tons; Minnesota
Iron company with 3,5OOOOO tons;
the Lake Superior Consolidated,
from their own mines and tonnage

2,85O,OOO tons; the Cleveland Cliffs
company 1,250,OOO tons; Corrigan,

and Winthrop alone, and American
Mining company, 100000 tons each,
Mahoning. mine interests 100000
tons and the Republic Iron & Steel
company mines 100000 tons. Some
of these shippers, and those the
largest, ire practically sure of car
rying out their full expectations.
Others may fall behind, but there
are many other mines, some of them
very large ones, not included in this
estimate.

placed at the Blue mine of the Re-
gent group, Negaunee. It will be

be adopted, the company also pre-
pairing the necessary patterns for

many years, but the water has been
kept out. At the Blue mine a

With warm weather comes the
census taker. Either is an aggra-
walton, and combined the result is
an affliction. But since such
things must be borne, it we're we'll
that they be borne with patience

please people when man or wo-
man never seen before and never
to be seen again comes asking
searching questionsas to one's age,
sex, religious and political afilia-
tions and previous conditions of
servitude. But it is the law, and
the law must be lived up to. Nor
must this seeming impertinence be
held against the enumerator. He
or she is simply discharging a
plainly defined duty, in return for
barely sufficient money to preserve
life during the ordeal of asking,
trying alike to enumeration and

politeness and patience, it is to be
borne in mind that all the informa-
ton pumped out of the people by
the enumerator is to be preserved
in the saoredness of secrecy Not
even the women enumerators are
permitted, under severe penalty, to
indulge in gossip upon subjects of
census investigation. Appreciat-
ing the weakness of human nature,
especially feminine human nature,
where gossip is concerned. the gov
