His Death Will Be Greatly
Deplored BY the People
of This County.

The SENTINEL is called upon to
announce the death OF Mr.. Charles
Hebard, senior member of the firm
of Charles Hebard & Son, Of
Pequaming, which occurred at his
home in Chestnut Hill, Penn, on
the evening OF the 11th inst, after
an illness OF two weeks. Mr..
Hebard was II years Of age. His
death will be regretted by this
entire community, and throughout
upper Michigan, but more especially
by the people of Pequaming, to
whom he was endeared, and who
held him in high. esteem. A good
man has been taken, and his absence
from our midst will be seriously
felt by the many people who knew
him and enjoyed his friendship.

SEVERELY CENsURED.
Republicans In This County Will
Not Forget the Governor For
Turning Them Down.


The action of Gov. Bliss in ap-
pointing Democrat to the Office OF
Judge OF probate in this county to
succeed the late Edward L. Stone
Republican), is still a matter of
great agitation, and it is slap
which will not be easily forgotten
or quickly healed. The governor
has no loop.hole through which to
crawl, as he well knew that Shields,
the man whom he appointed, had
been strong Democrat for years,
and whose appointment was strong
ly protested by the. Republicans of
this county, including the Republi-
can county committee. The gov
ernor evidently wanted to please a
number OF Mr.. Shields relatives in
Houghton county, which county. by
the way, has twenty-five delegates
to the state convention, while Baraga
has only two, and "presto! change,
and be gone," the commission was
signed by Gov. Bliss and forwarded
to Shields.
The Republican convention for
this county will be held Wednesday
next, when delegates to represent
the county at the state convention
will be selected, and we are wonder
ing what they will do. Will it be
'Bliss-ful" or otherwise?

Valuable Timber Lands In Bar
aga County, Disposed Of BY
q Detroit Concern.
SEVEN MILES OF BAY FRONT
Roger G. Williams, OF L'Anse,
One of the Con-
sideratiOn Private.

Roger c. Williams, of this vii
lage, is interested in timber land
deal consummated few days ago
in which valuable lands in Baraga
county are involved. John S. Nor
rison, of Calumet, is the other in
terested party. The deal involves
the transfer of q tract of timber
land on the shore of Huron Bay,
near Skanee, the property being
well timbered with valuable cedar
aud hemlock. The Detroit Con-
struction company sold the lands to
the above gentlemen, ,7the considera-
tion being private between the
parties. The lands transferred in
clude about seven miles Of lake
front on Huron Bay, from Skanee to
Silver river, mot fifteen miles as
stated in a Houghton paper.
The property is said to be good
holding for speculative purposes.
1t may be valuable in the future for
purposes other than numbering, in
view of the railroad rumors which
have been rife for several months
past.
Along with the timber lands and
lake front the construction company
also transferred about fifteen miles
of the roadbed of the dismantled Iron
Range & Huron Bay line. The
roadbed may be utilized as logging

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Feed regularly as well as literally.
Give pulverized alum for scours,
with wheat bran.
Have water convenient for your
sheep. They drink little and often.
Keep the lambs growing from the
start. If fat, sell them when they
weigh 30 to so pounds.
Ewes that prove poor mothers, OF
refuse their own lambs, might as
well go to the butcher.
Do not feed lambs on rape alone,
but accustom them to it gradually
when fed with other fodder.
An authority on lambs for market
says pure-bred or high-grade lambs
should not be kept beyond six
months.
In feeding shredded corn fodder
20 sheep, bran and oats may be
mixed with the stover to avoid any
trouble that may come from over
feeding of carbonaceous elements.
If sheep have catarrh, put them in
well-ventilated pen and give each,
twice a day in their food, teaspoon
full of mixture of equal parts dried
sulphate of iron, powdered ginger
and gentian roots. Feed generously
of oats, bran, roots and good hay

selection of Breeding Sock.

In buying breeding stock the breed
er should select animals that are
strong where his are weak. Too many
settle the purchasing question by a
certain financial standard rather than
that of first finding the individual suit
ed to their needs and then talking cost
afterward. Too many men desire to
buy stock at hardly above butchers
prices, and expressed no willingness to
paw a premium to the man who is of
fering them animals that have been
produced at great cost and effort. No
stock should be purchased unless per-
sonally inspected; reliance on the judg-
ment of others is unsafe.-Prof. C. g.

WOman's Direction.

This sketch, if well worked out,
will make very suitable addition to
any library; or, if one does not soar
so high as that, it forms in any room
quite a library in itself. The usual
methods of building coy corner are
followed, but care should be taken
that it is constructed strongly, to
stand the weight of books. Above
the seat as many shelves may be
fixed as desired, although we show
only three in our design. To give
more room for the storage of books
two small open cupboards fitted with
shelves can be built outside each of
the two arms. The woodwork will
look best if stained and polished, but

PARLOR PASSING AWAY.
IL Everywhere Giving Place to
the Living Room.

And is it true? Is the parloi
doomed? Must it give way to the liv-
ing room? That apartment cannot
make good the loss of the other.
Who does not remember the dark
ened glories of the old-fashioned par
Tor, which was seen at its best in the
middle-sized town, village and coun-
try? Shut up the week through,
sometimes nearly the year through,
with blinds closed tight and lace cur
tains tied primly back; with its hair
cloth-seated chairs set in a line
against the wall; "rocker" ready to
gallop in one corner, and what-not
IN the other, ornamented with rice
baskets, praying Samuels and family
daguerreotypes and photographs;
center table, set exactly in the mid
die of the room, with few handsome
books and the large family Bible, the
mantelpiece with vases filled with
crystalliZed grasses at either end, and
odds and ends of strange things fit
ting up the rest of the space; who
among the elder generation does not
know it we'll? 1t was a room to be
venerated.
And now-one sadly recognizes it
to be, indeed, a thing of the past.
Instead, there is the living room,
that actually is living room, where
the baby's perambulator stands near
the piano, where the work basket is
on a convenient table (no one ever
saw work basket in a parlor);
where there are plants, a writing
desk; where the sun pours in as much
as it may. 1t is indeed living room.
If one has space there is a reception
room, to be sure; but every one I'M
derstands that amounts to little-the
caller and the friend are shown into
the living room. To a person used to
parlor, no matter how long ago, a
call in living room hardly seems
like the solemn function it used to be.
Very likely the change is for the
better, but it is a revolution. The re-
spectacle poor used to stint them
selves to maintain a decent parlor;
now in model villages model tene
ments they have lost this privilege.
Take, for instance, Bournville, in
England, the home of the Cadburys'
great cocoa works. This is known as
an ideal village. Some $40 houses
have been built for employees, and not
a parlor in the $40. Instead of that
each family has large, sunny, COM
modious living room, and they make
the best of it.-Springfeld Repub-
lican.
