CHOICE MlscELLANY'
Two Compliments.

When the present king of Portugal
was a youth of seventeen. he visited
London and there met Sir Edwin Land
seer. Being very fond Of natural his
tory, the young king was delighted to
meet the great animal painter, and said,
so.
King Carlos spoke English very well,
says the author of Some Eighteenth.
Century Men of Letters" but like all
persons who have. learned a language
by grammar and dictionary he used
words in al e%quiyocal sense.
Il am SO glad to make your acquaint-
ance,, Sir Landseer,' he said with much
enthusiasm. 81 am so fond of beasts"
Landseer accepted the compliment as
it was intended and always protested
that with one exception 1t was the
greatest he had ever received. The ex-
ception came from a dog seller who
was walking along a London street.
with a terrier under his arm. Land
seer, as always, was attracted by the
bright little face.
Ills ears are moi cropped" he OBJ
served.
mo, sir" replied the dog seller.
"Landseer says ears ought not to be
cropped"

There was a great deal of prelim-
mary talk about what was going to
be done with Senator Smoot, OF
Utah, when he took his seat in the
United States senate, on account OF
his polygamous proclivities. What
ever was to be done in his case was
not done, and the senator took his
seat at the opening of the extra ses-
sion Of the senate without any yisi-
BILE protest from the members of
that dignified body. We cannot ac-
count for the bluff and then the evil
dent complete surrender.

will NOT be Known until that time
justltow many new laws the people
Of the state have to become acquainted
with. Among those signed are the
new code bills which supersede the
compiled laws OF 1887 and become
the absolute law OF the state, except,
as amended by laws Of this session.
The number Of bills introduced
during the session was below the
average while the proportion of bills
passed was above the average.
Much Of the new legislation is in
the form Of amendment to existing
law. but one OF the notable excep-
lions is the medical examiners law.
which is a new act On the statute
books, as we'll as the law relating to
horse inspection and the larceny Of
live stock.
These of course are lost sight of in
the eyes of the people as compared
with the valued policy insurance law
and the anti-compact law which
held the center of attraction during
most OF the session to the exclusion
OF matters of probably larger general
effect.
Taken as a whole it has been a
busy session without any startling
sensation to call che attention Of the
people toward the present capital of
the state.

a GOOD Idea.

The cooperative wedding present is
q new idea in Great Britain, where the
fact that servants and tenants on es-
tates club together and send hand
some gift seems to have suggested to
somebody that friends might do the
same. Thus one of the January brides
was presented with a diamond r
ment and friends Of a bridegroom unit
ed to buy him IN automobile. The.
American bride sometimes exchanges
her duplicates, but that is not always
convenient, and it tends to provoke mis-
understandings. She. too; will rejoice
il the new fashion spreads, SO that In
stead of pickle dishes and the like she
may look forward to something sub
stantial, such as a house and lot.

WELL DONE IN OIL.

Hundreds of investors in the Beau
mont oil district seem destined to suffer
losses. The district as an oil producer
according to reliable accounts, has seen
its best days.
Nearly all of the Beaumont oil wells
have played out, or are on the verge
of playing OUT said ]. w. Reynolds,
of Duluth, who has just returned from
the south. Complaint is made that the
salt water is appearing in many of the
wells.
"The Export Oil company, with
which Former United States Senator
Towne is prominently identified, is
seeking to protect it's stockholders by
securing other oil lands located in the
Sour Lake region.
Spindle Top as an oil producing To-
cation is, apparently, almost played
out. The oil tanks that the roads put
on thir locomotives are being removed"

region. He says:

region. lie says.
In certain ore in certain parts of the
Lake Superior region the top covering
of ground rock is scraped off over the
whole property before mining begins.
Railroads tracks are then laid direct ia
the ore bed, and the ore is loosened by
blasting. Steam shovels are then
brought into use and they load the ore
directly upon the cars, one of these
machines having loaded 100000 tons in
$500 tons per day. These loading ma
chimes which daily handle more than
5000 tons, are each operated by five
men, and the labor cost for mining and
loading averages but about 16 cents
per ton, and in the case of one mine,
which dug and loaded 293,651 tons in ia
ton.
In the transfer of ore from mine to
vessel on the lakes the absence of hand
labor is also noticeable. The ore trains
are run on to long docks extending
high above the water and having large
pockets or apartments into which the
! ore is discharged from the cars through
an opening in theu bottom of the car,
from which the ore runs by gravity into
| the pockets beneath the tracks. From
these pockets the ore is loaded into
L
the vessel, also by gravity, and passed
down long chutes into the hold of the
vessel so that no hand labor is requir-
ed in transferring the ore from the cars
to the vessel. The ore pockets or apart
ments, which form part of the dock,
hold about 160 tons each, and number
from 80 to 1884, according to the length
Of the dock.
In unloading the ore from the YES
sells the saving of labor through the
/ use of machinery is even more notable
and important in it's economics anl
results. A series of steel bridges, so adj
| justed as to be easily moved along the
docks, is supplied with a hinged arm,
Which can be lowered to the hatch Of
the vessel. Along this arm and across
the bridge runs a trolley train to which
are attached automatic grabs similar
to a double SCOOP which are so con-
structed that the. grab or scoop digs
downward into the ore as it closes.
The grab or scoop holds about five tons
of ore and is described as a digging
machine as when it begins to draw
together it digs into the ore and does
not depend on its weight to get hold of
the ore.

NEWSPAPER FAMEs.

Your great man shines before the
popular in vain-without the news
paper, says the New York Press. He
spread-eagles the constitution in vain
without the newspaper. His clarion
voice wakes up the universe in vain
without the Newspaper. His scientific
researches and achievements are vain
without the newspaper. His wireless
telegraph would be an accomplishment
of small merit-without the newspaper.
His moving sermons, rafting hell fire
in the faces of sinners, are vain-witn-
out the newspaper. His successes in
every walk Of life are vain-without
the newspaper. The newspaper is the
famemaker Of the age. OF course, some
of the fame is cheap. but it satisfies
the living wearer OF the cloak even
though posterity may change it.

THE BAND CONCERT.

The concert given by the Ely City
| Band at the Opera House Friday ev
| ening was a successful event both from
a social and financial standpoint. The
| large hall was taxed to it's utmost and
standing room was at a premium early
| in the evening. To prove that the at
Etendance was entirely satisfactory, it
Eneed only be said that the receipts were
E$125 after all expenses were paid.
(which amount will go into the treasury
iof the band as a nucleus towards the
purchase of new uniforms in the near
future.
The entertainment was one of the
best ever given by the band. This is
saying much considering this being the

of fun. The solos by the young ladies
were well rendered and received with
pleasure. Misses Ethel Tremewan.
Bessie Oats, Lila Polkinghorn and Net

solists and the vocal Duet by Misses
Tremewan and Vail was particularly
pleasing number. Miss Lydia Baribeau
who was also on the program was TAX
en- suddenly ill a few days before the
concert and could not appear. As a
fitting windup of the first part the
band rendered "a Day in the Cotton

In part two, Misses Polkinghorn and
Slattery rendered a piano Duet very
artistically and Frank Wagner played

torily. A piano Duet by Misses Holmes

Guy Coffey in his song and dance
brought forth a strong wave of ap-
probation. Guy is only a youngster but
he performs on the stage like veteran.

Roach. The latter pulled his gun and
filled Kildee full of holes, one causing
to the matter is that the head of the
