The republican State convention to
nominate a candidate for justice of the
Supreme court and regents of the un-
versity is to be held at Detroit, March
9th. Hon. w. w. Wedemeyer, of Ann
Arbor, is to be the temporary chairman.
The Caro- Advertiser says; Through
the efforts of Congressman Fordney the
9Th district has 26 more rural routes in
it, exclusive of Clinton county, which
has the county system ON trial, than any
other district in the state and has some
thirty more routes ready for approval. >
The January number of Scribner's
Magazine, which marks the beginning
of its 33d volume, contains two of the
notable features of the coming year. It
is seldom that the opportunity is offered
to present the brilliant letters of a
woman who has filed the highest social
and official positions at the Courts of
Europe. The letters of Madame Wad-
dington, wife of the eminent French
Ambassador, Nj. William Waddington,
begin in this number, with entertaining
and witty accounts of the English court
in the eighties. Madame Waddington's
observations have the greater value to
American readers because she is an
American, the daughter of President
OF Columbia College and the grand
daughter of Rufus King, who was Amer
lean Minister to England. These letters
were written to her relatives in this
country at the very time in which the
events described were fresh in her mem
DRY. They are therefore spontaneous,
natural, and Internationally bright.
The illustrations are from portraits and
other pictures in Madame Waddington's
own collection.

answered by J. Whelan. He Thought
In q material sense It was, but socially
and intellectually 1t was not.
"W0uld Canadian reciprocity be
beneficial to American farmers?"
This question was discussed at some
length, but decided In the negative.
(which is the greater curse, fashion
or gamblingf" M. Harrington thought
that gam bling was not just right, but
after all 1t did not bring the suffering
that trying to follow the fashion did
and told a humorous experience of his
own, with a pair Of toothpick shoes
that he bought because his wife
wanted him to be in the fashion.
Others talked, but gambling got the
worst of it in the final summing up.
M. w. West had the question,
(Which is the wiser plan for young
couple of farmers, to buy home and
go into debt, or to rent a farm?" He
thought buying a home the wiser plan.
Mr.. Harrington advised going north
where land was cheaper and raise beets.
Mr.. Cook thought life too short to try
to dig a home out Of pine stumps.
There were other questions touching
tariff and trusts, but as the hour was
late they were lightly passed over and
club adjourned to meet Feb. 8 with
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Cook.

Nearly Complete Organization Of the
Health Service Of Michigan.

Secretary Baker of the State Board OF
,, Health says:
During the week ending December 27,
compared with the preceding week,
, smallpox increased about go per cent in
the number of places at which it was
reported present in Michigan. Because
of it's mildness and its not being prompt
ly recognized, it is believed that it will
! continue to spread. For that reason
and for other important reasons COM
plete organization of every local board
of health has been urged, and special
effort has been made by the Office of the
State board to secure for every locality
the appointment of a health officer who
is the executive officer of the boord and
the one person with whom the State
board can get into immediate communi-
cation as necessity demands. The effort
has been rewarded by returns from all
but two villages and one township, out
of nearly 1900 townships, cities and
villages in Michigan.
