Mrs. Benjamin Brewster. Mrs. Z. c. Converse,
Miss Gertrude Louise Robinson. Mrs. f. r.

because it was painted from Iife' in five hours
The largest and most attractive OF the pictures
is that of the artists Wife, which has been
pronounced by the friends of Mime. Nadrazo a
perfect likeness.
The portrait of the Duke of Loubat is probably
of more interest TO the people who visit the gal
leres than any other. He has put the people Of
New-York in his debt by his liberal gifts in the
cause of science and education. Conspicuous
among his benefactions are two prizes, one of

THE PIG AN EMBLEM OF GOOD LrcE.

PICTURES OF THE ANIMAL AND THE WORD

OF the Consolidated Exchange last week may
have intended the gift practical joke, with
no more significance than if the anonymous gift
had been a hod full of bricks crate of an
tique vegetables. But some people who heard
of the Joke said that the sender of the pig had
selected that gift because the pig as an emblem
of good luck becoming popular and he
wanted TO ndOrse the fad by sending a pig
to show his goodwill
"Schwein" is a slang word for good luck in
student and military circles in Germany and
Austria where success in gambling is frequently
referred to as "schwein.' The word seems to
have made its way in polite circles. for the pig
plays an important part in German New Years
cards for 1901. A souvenir postcard recently
received from Berlin shows beautifully attired
young fondling little pig, with the
legend Best wishes from Berlin In connec-
tion with the pig emblem of good luck

and this process of selection has
been going on continually and with
out interruption since the public
domain was first thrown open for
settlement. 1t still goes on. Pros
pective homesteaders are always on
the lookout for good things and the
best is none too good for them.
1t is only question of time when
the government has left a large
acreage of land fit for no purpose
in particular, land which no one will
want unless some manner OF utiliz-
ing it, the secret of which is now
unknown. is found. This land is un-
fit for agriculture by reason of the
nature of the soil. Much of it is
sandy, this being particularly so in
the northern part of the lower
peninsula and in this section. Some
OF it is swampy and other large
tracts are wildernesses of rocky
formations without any pretense of
being mineral lands.
1t will be observed that several
counties on the list are credited
with unusually large acreages. In
these cases it may be justly assumed
that enormous tracts are composed
of all bnt worthless lands.

MILLIONS AT STAKE.
Helen Iron Mine at MichipicOtcn
"Jumped" by a Prospector.

A dispatch from Sault Ste. Marie
states that the big Helen iron mine
at Michipicoten, owned by the
Clergue estate, has been jumped by
Judas George, a prospector, who re-
staked the property few days ago.
The mine is estimated to be worth
anywhere between ten and fifteen
millions of dollars. George claims
that the company shas not really
owned the mine, which it has been
operating the past year under a
miners license. A patent was APP
piled for, but had not been granted
at the time of the restraining order,
and George alleges that the govern
ment inspector of mines in his pres
ence stated that at the expiration
OF the proper period the company
had not complied with the law in
certain requirements and it was
therefore an open claim. George
thereupon restaked the claim one
morning at daylight. He has Sc
cured counsel and will go to the
mine and try to hold it, Mr. Clergue
is in the east.
