Don't Stop to Consider.

None but the initiated know the
accuracy required in printing Of
fee. The average reader who de.
tects q misspelled word or letter
upside down feels that his mission
on earth is not fully accomplished
until he has called the attention OF
the overworked editor to the glaring
defect. He does not notice the thou
sands and tens OF thousands OF let
ters that are in place aud the null
titude OF words correctly spelled.
But his eagle eye Is glued on the
one that is out OF place. So 1t is
with our deeds. Man does good deeds
and no attention is paid to them, but
IL makes one mistake it is flashed all
over the world. A lifetime may be
spent in building up reputation
that may be wrecked in q moment.
This world is harsh critic, exact
ing to a fault.-Excbange.

That fish hatchery for the propo-
CATION OF black bass will be establish
ed in the upper peninsula this year
and that it will be located in the cop
per country is now almost an assur-
cd fact. The matter was brought to
the attention of State Fish Com
missioner Dickerson, OF Detroit, last
fall by officers of the Houghton Coun-
ty Gun & Rod Club and after due
consideration that official has agreed
to lend his support TO bring about
the establishment of the desired
hatchery in Houghton county. Mr..
Dickerson has written to the club to
that effect and steps will be taken
at once to secure an appropriation
from the state legislature for the
purpose. Mr.. Dickerson states that
the lower peninsula representatives
and senator's will work with those of
the upper peninsula, providing the
latter show the proper spirit and en-
thusiasm. The Houghton County
Gun g. Rod club will put the matter
before the upper peninsula law
makers at once. II the appropria-
tion is allowed during the present
session the hatchery will, it is ex-
pected, be established in the spring,
Houghton county, with its many fine
lakes affords many good locations
for hatchery such as is wanted.
A Houghton correspondent says that
Mr.. Dickerson Is heartlyuiu favor OF
the plan, because me knows with
what difficulty bluck bass fry are
shipped to the upper peninsula. Last
fall consignment OF 100. 900 fry was
put aboard fish car for shipment
to Houghton, but the fish died on the
road because OF loss Of time through
poor train connections. Black bass
fry are delicate and, moreover, hard
to get and for that reason the lakes
in this county are not stocked as
they should be with the fish. The
lakes are nicely adapted to the propo-
cation OF black bass and should the
hatchery be established the numer-
GUS lakes in this region will be teem-
ing with bass in few years and
there will be all kinds OF good fish
ing.

A MARVELLOUS TREE.
Palm In Brszil which La Put to Many
Uses by the People of That
Country.

Undoubtedly the most marvellous
tree in the world grows in Brazil. II
is the carnahuba palm, and can be EN-
ployed for many useful purposes, says
the Boston Transcript. Its roots pro-
duce the same medicinal effects as
sarsaparilla. Its stems afford strong
hight fbers, which acquire beautiful
luster, and serve also for joists. raft
ers and other building materials, as
well as for stakes for fences.
From parts of the tree wines and
vinegar are made. 1t yields also a
saccharine substance, as well as a
starch, resembling sage. Its fruit Is
used for feeding cattle. The pulp has
an agreeable taste, and the nut, which
Is oleaginous and emulsive, is some.
times used as substitute for coffee.
OF the wood of the stem musical in
struments, water tubes and pumps are
made. The pitch is an excellent sub
stitute for cork. From the stem a
white liquid similar to the milk of
the cocoanut and -four resembling
maizena, may be extracted.
VI the straw, hats, baskets, brooms
and mats are made. A considerable
quantity of this straw is shipped to
europe, and part of it returns to Bra
I'll manufactured into hats. The
straw is also used for matching
houses. Moreover, salt is extracted
from IT, and likewise an alkali used in
the manufacture of common soap.

POST CHECK BILL.
A Brief Outline of What the New
Plan Contemplates.

The post check bill is now before
the house postotfice committee. The
measure is receiving much favorable
mention, especially from those con
Germs and business interests which
conduct many transactions wherein
only small amounts OF money are
involved. Newspaper publishers
and subscribers would be accom-
modated in the matter of obtaining
and paying for subscriptions. And
in general, all people who desire to
make small remittances by mail
would be helped by the post check.
The purpose OF the act is to retire
all % and 81 bills, and have them all
reprinted with blank lines ia their
face. In this way they would cir
culate the same as the 81 and 80 bills
of today, until a holder writes the
name o. some individual or firm to
whom he desired to pay it, on one
ofthese blank lines. Then only that
person or Arm or the person to whom
he or they endorsed it could collect
the money on it at bank or post.
Office. By writing name on one OF
these lines the holder converts the
bill from currency to check payable
to the person named. The post
check when paid is sent by the post
Office back to Washington, when it
is destroyed just like paid post
Office order.
The plan contemplates the issu-
ance OF fractional paper currency in
the same way, so that the people
can have paper halves, quarters, and
dimes which can be converted into
checks in the same way.
Besides the argument Of convent
ence and utility the advocates OF the
plan have much to say in reference
to the cleanliness Of the post checks
on account of the constant renewal
Of the paper currency. 1t is also
claimed that the government will
save much in clerk hire, on account
OF the decrease in the money order
business which would follow. More
over, it is thought that the revenue
derived from the sale of stamps
which are required to be attached. to
every bill when it is converted into
a post check by writing name on
it would more than pay for the con-
slant reprinting Of the currency and
the exta Office work entailed in the
destruction OF paid post checks.
There seems to be no doubt that
the adoption OF the measure would
be a great convenience to the rank
and file OF the people.

An Illinois school teacher took
from pupil two packages of cigar
cites papers. These he placed in a
pint bottle which was filled with
water. The next day the teacher
naively described the scene in the
school room. The boys caught mouse
and we gave him half teaspoonful.
He never lived to leave the boys hand.
They were convinced it was poisonous,
but the girls declared the boys.squeezed
the mouse So hard it died. So on Fri
day the boys came to school with three
sparrows and two mice. We took them
one at time and gave them third
of teaspoonful. The birds flew around
the room for short time and th3n
fell helpless on the floor and died in
less than ten minutes. They seemed
to be in awful pain. The mice ran
around the room as if nothing lad
gone wrong for short time and then
went into a fit from which they never
recovered.

conducted by Prof. S. L. Stringer is
now nearing its close. About thirty

are receiving the latest.and best meth

ing valuable instruction which will
make them better teachers and better

shaping the minds of the young. The
teacher holds the destiny of mankind
in his hands; he can so mold and
shape the life and character of those
under his instruction as to fit them for
manhood and womanhood in the truest
sense, or he may forever blight that
which is highest and noblest in man,
and thus prove himself curse rather
than blessing to humanity. Those
attending the institute are being made
to realize more fully their response
bility. They are being inspired to
higher motives and higher ideals.
The conductor is not only man
OF intellect and ability, he is enthusi-

is manlfesting great interest in the
advancement Of the teachers. At the
