New Buildings Erected.

The extensive building operations
in Superior during the past two
months have been by no means con.
fined to Tower Avenue. Many resi-
dences have been constructed and a
promising feature is the fact that
they will be occupied by the owners
AT present more than 40 homes are
being built in the city and during the
summer as many have been com
pleted and are now occupied.
The influx of settlers into Douglas
comfy has been large during the year
and land which formerly sold for 50
an acre is now held from So to 81.
The large number of new settlers is
explained by the fact that the desir-
ability of this section as an agricul-
tural country is just becoming known.
a number of new business blocks
have been or are in the course of com
pletion and others are in contempla-
ton.
1t is hoped and can be reasonably
expected that the red tape connected
with the government building will be
swept away during the winter months
and that spring will see active work
commenced.

woman ana Her Books.

1t is the book a woman marks that is
the only true index to her character.
This conclusion has been arrived at
after a long and persistent study of the
sex. A woman never marks book
openly, as man does, with flourish Of
marginal notes and references convey
ing the impression that he is conversant
with other books besides this one. He
who has pencil always handy will
think nothing of using it on any and
all occasions. 1t is like entering the
holy of holies to read books that some
women have marked. 1t is violent
rending asunder of the veil which she
hangs before the door of her heart.
The marks with which a woman scores
her favorite passages at eighteen will
be effaced at twenty, and she must have
changed but little to leave those of
twenty uneffaced at twenty-fve.-New

The Vault of st, Michan's.

The most interesting place of pilgrim
age in Dublin Is st. Michan's church,
where the organ is still to be seen upon
which Handel is said to have composed
his Messiah" In the graveyard is the
last resting place of Robert Emmett,
and the vault of st. Michan's provides
more grewsome thrill than the
morgue. The sexton lifts an iron door
and descends a few rude steps, carry
ing a light. without which the place
would be pitch dark. You follow and
find yourself In narrow passage, from
which cell-like recesses belonging to
different families branch off. Whether
II is owing to the extreme dryness of
the surroundings or to some mysterious
property of the place, the process of de-
cay has been arrested, and the features
of persons dead for two centuries may
be recognized from authentic portraits.
Perhaps the strangest thing about the
vault is the fact that, apart from the
weird sensation. there is nothing Often

to aid his choice. You have only a
minute left" yelled the sultan in anger;

noticed, gave him nothing else than q
stony stare. One of them frowned, the
other smiled THE frowning one" he
thought, sis my bride. for she express
es her displeasure and Impotence at

watches slower at Night.

"You know that the vital energies are
At lower ebb at right than in the day
time" said an old matchmaker. Would
you believe that some watches espe-
cially the cheaper ones-are similarly
affected?
''You kIsow a good matchmaker al
ways wants several days in which to
regulate. timepiece. That is because
the only way to regulate it properly is
to compare it with chronometer at
the same hour every day. Otherwise
the variations in the speed of the watch
will battle his efforts.
1.-THE man to whom / was apprenticed
told me this, and | thought the idea alb
surd. We were working late one night
and he called my attention to lot of
watches that were regulated and ready
to deliver. 1t was near midnight, and
every watch was slow. The better
timepieces had Jagged behind some sec
onds. The cheaper watches were a
minute or more out of the way. Next
morning every one of the lot was ex-
actly right.

to make exactly twenty-four hours a
day, but you can't persuade it to make
just sixty minutes in each of the TWEEN
ty-four hours. Why this is no one can

of the apple: "The apple is the most
democratic of all fruits. The pome-
granate is priestly, the grape is royal,
the orange is luxurious, the peach and

longs TO the populace. 1t is symbolic
of the country store and the corner gro
