On the Mesabi.

Vii bftO itOOapis
There are six Iron mines on
the Mesaba range whose aggre'
ate shipments this year will be
m ore than 5000, 900 tons, or an
average of more than 1000, 900
tons each. The mines in question
are the Fayal at Eveleth. the
Biwabic. at Biwabic. the Noun
tain Iron at the place of the
same name, the Sauntry at Vir-
ginia, the Mahoning at Hibbing
and the Adams at Eveleth.
The Fayal will ship at least
800, 900 tons and maybe 10000,
300 tons. Visitors at Eveleth
say here that the great mine
will ship 100000 tons this year
but President Greatsinger, of
the Duluth q Iron Range road
says that the amount will be
nearer /, 800, 900 tons.
The Fayal will lead the iron
mines Of the world in its ship
ments this year. A block Of ore
containing 100000 tons would
cover 15.acre tract Of land to
depth Of 40 feet. The average
shipping season for the mines is
lS5 days. To move the ore
from the Fayal this year it will
have to 60 forward at an average
rate of about 800 tons a day,
requiring 324 cars of the 25.tons
size every "a hours. The ship
ments for the entire 1S5 days of
the coming season must average
l3i cars every day and night
from the mine. Small compre
hension is had by the public
generally OF the magnitude OF
iron mines of st. Louis county.
The Fayal is the largest iron
mine in the world in its opera
tons, at least, and it would take
a person an entire day with a
guide TO inspect it throughout.
There is q big stripping propo
sition at the Fayal as well as
the underground work. The
Fayal will increase its shipments
over 1899 more than 100000 tons
this year.
The Adams mine at Eveleth
will crowd the 100000 tons
mark close enough this year so
that il may be considered in that
class. 1t has been supplied
with two new shafts and is now
one of the whales in the list of
Mesaba mines.
The Mahoning mine at Hib-
bing will snip about 100000
tons this year. The amount
will be fully that much. The
Biwabic mine will also be in the
seven figure class. There seems
to be some uncertainty about
how much will be shipped from
the Sauntry mine this year. IL
is new mine that began ship
ping late las. fall. II Is in fine
shape for big operations and the
lowest estimate that has been
heard for this seasons shipments
Is 600,0 tons. Other estimates
are much higher

increase its shipments slightly

About two years before Mr.. Sawyer

He felt so good that he showed the

that the young prodigy was to be

too good to keep, and they told the

CRUELTY IN TONE.
Cross Words Kill Bird In Its Cage

Cross Words Kill Bird In It's Cage.
A bird which receives a scolding is
made as miserable and unhappy there
by as child would be. To illustrate
Our Dumb Animals tells the following
story: A Massachusetts woman had, a
few years ago, beautiful canary bird
which she dearly loved, and to which
she had never spoken an unkind word
in her life. One Sunday the church
organist was away, and she stopped
after church to play the organ for the
Sunday school. In consequence of this
the dinner had to be put off an hour,
and when she got home her good hus-
band was very hungry, and he spoke
to her unkindly. The things were put
on and they sat down in silence at the
table, and presently the bird began to
chirp at her as it always had to attract
her attention. To shame her husband
for having spoken so, she turned to
the bird. and for the first time in her
life spoke to it in most violent and
angry tone In less than five minutes
there was a fiuttering in the cage. She
sprang to the cago-the bird was dead.
Mrs. Hendricks, the wife of the late
vice-president of the United States,
saws that she once killed hooking
bird in the same way. 1t annoyed her
by loud singing. To stop it she spoke
in a violent tone, and pretended to
throw something at it, and within fiv'
minutes it was dead.

Walters Tins In Paris.


In no other city in the world is the
tipping Of walters so nearly reduced to
a science as In Paris. The custom in
the United States is to say Keep the
change" il one feels that the change
is sufiicient-and man who has dined
heartily seldom counts coins. Moth
ing is returned to his pocket except
bills. Methodical men OF complete self
control limit their tips to ten per cent
OF the amount charged for the meal.
Others school themselves to the habit
OF giving dime, a quarter, half or a
dollar, according to their purse. In
Paris the rule Is to leave ''pourboire'
on the table. The native cries Gar
con Tradition, sill vous plait," the
waiter fetches the bill from the dame
de contoir," and on receiving payment
expects his "pourboire" OF twenty-five
to thirty centimes. In inferior res
taurants the tip is ten to twenty cent
lines. The American sings out, wait
er. what is my bill?" and on paying II
hands the mental dollar or two.
When three or more persons dine to-
gether the "pourboire" Is doubled or
trebled. In the chief restaurants and
cafes the walters receive no wages,
and in many cases have to share their
gratuities with the proprietors. Our
tourist found ''garcon" in Paris who
pays eleven francs day for his job.
II he works every day his tips must
amount to $50 month before he can

RunrlIny Methods OF Instruction.

If instruction do not join as vol
unteer, she will do no good service.
Some tales put one in mind of those
clocks and watches which are con-
demned "a double or a treble debt to
pay" which, beside their legitimate
object, to show the hour, tell you the
day of the month or the week, give
you a landscape for dial plate, with
the second hand forming the sails OF
a windmill, or have barrel to play a
tune, or an alarm to remind you of
an engagement, all very good things
in their way, but so 1t Is, that these
watches never tell the time so well as
those in which that is the exclusive
object Of the maker. Every additional
movement is an obstacle to the orig
nal design.-Archbishop Whately.
