sr PArL sHIPMENTs

The St. Paul shipments from the
Crystal Falls district will go pretty
close to 800, 900 tons when the roundup
is made at the end Of shipping season
which will occur now IN few days.
The 1000 90 ton mark has been passed
some time ago and the shipping OF
the big pile at the Bristol will serve to
augment the amount greatly. This
is the first season that the st. Paul
has had chance at the ores OF this
district and all that they have hauled
has been mainly from new mines. The
Armenia and the Tobin are their main
stays but the Bristol will prove good
one for them with the last shipment
they have made. Next year the 81.
Paul will get chance at the tTreat
Western and the Lamont and then
their shipments will run considerably
over those Of this year.

Lively WORK.

There has been some lively ore load
ing at the Bristol mine the past week
where the big steam shovel that was
brought up from Commonwealth has
been ploughing into the big pile at the
rate of about 5000 tons per day. The
shovel runner, who mas had charge of
the shovel since it left the shop, says
that the biggest work ever done
was last Monday forenoon when in a
little less than four hours they loaded
80 big st. Paul cars. II was certainly
n big task.

AT IR ON RIVER

The McGillis property is looking
first rate. The shaft is down 10 feet,
and is bottomed in fine quality OF
ore. which from appearances look as
though it might be in the bessemer
limit The ore is hard blue quality
and now practically free from all
streaks Of rock. Capt, Holmes is
inclined 20 believe that he has struck a
new vein of ore entirely separate and
independent from the Dober vein. He
believes that the McGillis ore pitches
north and south. while that of the
Dober turns 60 the southwest. The
ore in the McGillis is also of a different
quality than that found in the Dober
mine
This week will practically finish the
shipping of ore from this district for
this season the Verona Co. having
stopped two weeks ago, and the Oliver
Co yesterday. The shipping from
the Hiawatha will probably be con
tinued 70 the last of the month. The
Verona Co shipped about 65, 900 tons,
the Oliver Co 215, 600 tons. and the
Hiawatha's shipments will be between
IS. 600 and 80, 600 tons. The stockpile
ut the Baltic was not touched this
season, the ore having all been hoisted.
The Co however will continue to
hoist and stock during the winter.
The stockpiles at the Dober, Riverton
and Hiawqtha have been nearly all
shipped, and the ground Is now being
put in shape for the new stoclpiles.

Dinner with a Don.

A young scientist who visited South
America was telling of the hospitality
of the citizens Of the far-away republic
and their method of entertaining their
friends. Il was looking over the field
in the interest of the Columbian Expo
sition, said he. "At one time l was
stopping at a town 11O miles from the
nearest railroad. This town is reached
only by pack animals and everything is
carried into the place on the backs
Of the patient beasts. On the day be-
fore l left leading citizen invited ME
TO his house. where he sale idza4reeeption
would be given in my honor. I found
about thirty people present. We sat
down to bountiful feast, at the close
Of which the cigars were brought out
and we enjoyed ourselves until day
light, according to the custom of the
country. A fine variety of wine was
served during the night. The next
day learned that the party consumed
1S0 bottles of champagne. This wine
had been shipped 10000 miles by water,
$50 miles by railway train, and had
been packed 10 miles into the town.
The cost of transportation was appall-
ing to an American, but the natives
seemed to think it mere bagatelle.
The wine for the feast probably cost
$500. When man is guest of a
South American gentleman everything
in the house belongs to the guest. -

THE HYGIENIC CARE OF CLOTHING
Many people who pay great attention
to cleanliness from the sanitary point
of view, who lay much stress upon the
proper ventilation of their rooms and
are; careful to bathe often, are yet
found wanting in one most important
particular-that is, the hygienic care
Of clothing, especially outer clothing.
Underclothing goes frequently to the
laundry, and is not, therefore, the text
of these remarks. But many people,
otherwise scrupulous in their personal
hygiene, will come in from long, hot
and dusty journey, remove a warm,
perspiratiOn-soaked dress or coat, and
hang it at once in a close, dark closet,
or place in the same receptacle skirt
that has been for hours gathering up
the filthy .sWeepings CT streets and cars.
It is small wonder that the average
wardrobe should give, out most dis
agreeable odor when the door has been
closed for a short time.
All outer clothing, especially if of
woolen material, should be hung up in
current of fresh air to dry and cool
before being put away, Dress shields,
the Innings Of women's collars, and
the bindings of skirts should be often
renewed.
Frequent change of clothing will be
necessary, and *'dress shields" should
be worn by all who have this unpleas-
ant infirmity, men as we'll as women.
and the same. suit or dress should
never be worn, on two consecutive
days. Indeed, for every one, for
clothes and shoes alike, the alternate
day system is both cleanly and eco
nomical-one day for wearing, one day
for airing.

A vigorous nod in the affirmative
was the reply. Jack was silent now;
his blue eyes wandered out to sea and
Garkened and shone with visions which
made him forget the child. She grew
restless, and after awhile timidly
touched his arm and said:
''Give me my mothers earring now
I mus go home" Jacks eyes came
quickly back to the anxious little face.
Where is your home, dear?' Her
expression became one of perplexity as
she looked :anxiously toward the con-
fusing mass of hotels. II forget where
it is,'' she said plaintively. The next
moment she exclaimed with sudden in
spiration:
"You can find it. cant you?''
II hope SO, Rose" Jack responded
cheerfully, taking the small hand in
his and turning from the beach; Il

"There it is now! See mamma on the
porch'?' and a mite of finger tried
to point out in the crowd on the ve-
randa of the, large hotel a certain slen-

up at her with a roguish smile.
Where have you been, you naughty
child? Mother has been worried nearly
to death about YOU" But the placid
face and tone belied her words
Little Rose replied by slightly open
ing one OF her tightly closed little fists,
disclosing a sparkling gem. Mrs. Wa
ters promptly snatched it.
Mind, 1 am going to punish you,
Rose, for taking this she said in a
low, firm voice. Rose only continued
to smile and gently unclosed the other
fist, showing the other earring. AS
the mother seized this also, she looked
at her little daughter with a startled
expression. Rose stole a glance side
wise. The mother followed, it to the
tanned, bearded face of stranger
whose dark eyes met hers with a look
that for a moment affected her as the
sight Of the second earring had done.
But in a moment her face resumed its
natural expression. She smiled conde-
scendingly.
"YOu are the jeweler at the corner
of the avenue and the beach, / be-
lieve," she said. Something suddenly
faded from the strangers eyes.

children along, there are half dozen
things which go into small places in a
grip. There are sheets and sheets of
paper dolls and card furniture,
small, sharp-pointed scissors, few
boxes of glass beads, thread and nee
die, dolls clothes cut out and ready
to- sew, and two or three new books.
Such things are as much a necessity
