The use OF steam shovels at some OF
he large iron mines in the Lake Su-
perior region in loading cars at the
mines has long been an important ele-
nent in reducing the cost of iron ore
The handling OF the ore in this manner
years ago reached degree OF perfec-
lion that is almost incredible. A rec
ord of 5000 tons of ore dug from the
ground ard loaded by one machine in
nine hours indicates what may be done

This achievement is not usual and it
would be unfair TO gauge a seasons
work by this record. The average out
put OF each shovel per day. working
In open pits and dumping the ore di-
rectly into the cars, is about 1900 to
1000 tons, costing from 10 to 10 cents

however. before great expedition and
economy were secured in unloading the
ore ships after their arrival at the re-

Mr. Blaine used to say that the best
government on earth was an absolute
despotlsm with wise and benevolent
despot. and at present Russia probably
approaches that ideal nearer than any
other government yet organized by
man. The older school of statesmen say
that the car means well, but is vision
airy and impractical. This may be true
in a measure, but II is nevertheless a
fact that Russia. for the first time in
history. has a ruler who considers the
welfare of his subjects only. Alexander
III. was called the Good Gear" and did
n great deal for his people. but Nicho-
las II. is better Gar, because he has
a wider knowledge OF other nations. he
sympathizes more closely with the
spirit of progress, has broader views OF
his own duty and more confidence in
the good will of the common people
and their capacity for self-government.
His aspirations are pure and patri-
otic He makes mistakes, but, as JEFF
ferson said OF Washington, even his
errors are amiable. Utica Globe.

No one doubts the tax that the care

An interest like that in the training

Ella Wheeler Wilcox in speaking of
the education of children says we
might call reason, judgment, intelli-
gence and fimness the walls of room

Two Names and Two Results.

A large steamer was once wrecked
because one of the sailors was named
West. The vessel was outward bound
from Rotterdam, and the sailor was on
deck polishing some brasswork. Sud
denly the captain called him and told
him to go below. The second officer on
the bridge heard the captain call out
the mans name and thought it was an
order to change the course of the vessel
to west He did so, and the result was
that the ship ran on to dangerous
shoal. That name cost the owners of
the vessel the sum of 100000.
During the Afghan war of 1879 a
small British detachment gained a vic
tory over a large body of the enemy by
mistaken order. A private named
Vance, who had distinguished himself
by several acts of bravery, was q great
favorite with one of the officers. and
during a skirmish the officer sEaHted
him to carry a dispatch to the colonel
in command of another detachment
The man was only few yards away
and he called out, 'yancer' at the tor
of his voice. The men thought he had
given the order ''Advance!' and imme-
diately rushed forward with such dash
and spirit that the enemy broke and
fed.
