The discovery of platinum was long
thought to be quite modern. In the
first half of the sixteenth century it
was noticed that gold ore from the
Spanish mines in Daricn sometimes
included grains OF a white metal which
possessed the qualities of what are
called the noble metals, but there were
no existing records to throw light upon
the matter. AS the Spaniards prohib-
lted its export, it was another hun
dred years before the metal began to
find its way into Europe, and it was
not TIL about 1850 that it's properties
ware really Investigated. In 1901 NJ.
Bertllclot. the famous French sayaut,
made an astonishing discovery in
Egypt. He was examining a metal
box. once the property Of an Egyptian
queen of the seventh century b. c.,
and In it he found a plate which at
first sight he took to be silver, but
afterward turned out to be made of
an alloy OF gold and platinA;n. Doubt
less the platinum came from the allu-
Vial deposits Of the upper Nile.

q. S. soldiers who served il
Cuba during the Spanish war know
what this disease is, and that ordi.
nary remedies have little more eff.

dlarrhoea is almost as severe and
dangerous as a mild attack OF

however, that can always be de-
pended upon as will be seen by the

A story that comes from Ireland re-
lates to the custom among farmers
there of depositing money i'll the bank
in the joint ame of husband and
wife, SO that when one dies the sur
v1vor can draw out the money without
any legal formalities.
To a farmer who recently made APP
plication for money deposited for him
self and his wife the manager asked:
why Pat, how can this be? 1t is not

Bed sores arc sores that form on
those parts of the body that are under
most in the position taken up by the
ped occupant. As a rule they never
form unless the sufferer is confined to
one position. When set up they are
most distressing. Whisky or brandy,
used as a lotion to the healthy skin

HUNTING SEASON CLOSES.
Number Of Deer Killed ID Greater
Than That OF Last season.

Thursday night the open season
for deer hunting came to q close,
and the feet-footed denizens OF the
forest will be given another rest.
The number Of licenses issued in
Baraga county since the season
opened has been q total Of 291, q
falling on OF about 240 from the
number issued last season, which
was b31. One reason fer the de-
crease is attributed to the raising Of
the cost of resident licenses from 75c
to $3.50. Most of those who have
gone after deer had fairly good luck,
many Of the returning hunter bring
ing at least one animal and many
securing the two allowed them un-
der the law. There were q number
OF cases reported OF viola.
tions OF the game laws, the most ol
which were committed by non-resi-
dents, in which the infrac.
tions OF the law took place. Acct
dents in Baraga county have been
insignificant, ard no fatalities have
been reported from the careless dis
charge Of firearms. The majority oI
deer taken from this county was
considerably greater than previous
years, due to the large number ol
hunters from all parts of the PENN.
sula and lower Michigan, and it is
stated upon good authority that be.
fore another season is due, q mater.
ial change will be made 10 the laws,
especially concerning hunters from
outside the county.

FIRST SNOW STORM.
Upper Peninsula Visited BY Q Severe
Snow Storm which Crippled
All Traffic.

The severe wind and snow storm
which began Monday night, abated
somewhat Tuesday afternoon, but
resumed its violence again Wednes-
day evening. The snow plows along
the railroads we're in constant com.
mission endeavoring to keep them
open for traffic.
In the copper country only por-
tion Of the electric railway system
could be operated for several hours,
and the South Shore road had
troubles of its own by derailed and
ditched trains.
On Lake Superior the storm was
probably felt greater than in any
other portion of the country. From
various points reports are daily
coming in of boats that were either
lost or rent asunder. For thirteen
consecutive hours the velocity of
the wind averaged 60 miles an hour
and at times 20 miles.
One OF the most appalling reports
was that of the schooner Mataafa,
the crew OF which consisted OF
twenty-six men, which the life saw
ers we're unable to rescue, and who
are supposed to have been either
frozen or drowned, as the boat when
last seen was broken in two, and no
signs OF life distinguishable.
Locally the storm was one of the
most severe in years. Several feet
OF snow has fallen, aud although the
stage routes were badly
blocked, the drivers we're success
full in reaching this village daily.
but quite late.
Following the storm came cold
spell, which lasted throughout the
remainder OF the week.

A. o. q. w. Calls Upon Graybeards to
Make Deficit Good Grand Lodge
Takes Drastic Action to Help
Meet Shortage Of Unpaid
Death Claims.
Again the old men must pay.

Again the old men must pay.
AT last week Wednesdays session
of special meeting OF the Grand
Lodge,A. o. u. W., held in Detroit,
to consider the deficit of $3.50, 900
existing in the payment Of death
claims, q recommendation ofits com
mittee was accepted, to levy .
special assessment OF from 60 cents
to 81, per $1,000 on The members
over 55 years Of age. The new as
sessement goes into effect with the
December levy, and will be contin-
ued until the regular meeting of the
grand lodge in September, when the
question Of its continuance will be
considered.
The rate varies according to the
present age Of members. Those
from 65 to so years OF age will pay
60 cents per $1,000 in addition to
their regular monthly assessment;
from 60 tn So, 20 cents; 65 to 70, 80
cents, and over 20. 81. According
to the new schedule adopted last
year. men over 55 years old are al
ready paying $4.20 assessment per
81 900, so that insurance will now
cost them from "a. 80 to $500.
AFFECTs 4. 600 MENRERs
The new levy will affect about
{, 200 of the $1,000 members of the
order in Michigan. and most OF the
5, 900 carry $1,000 policies, so that il
all keep paying for the ten months.
at an average OF IS cents per 81 ,0O0
extra assessment per month, it is
figured that about $75. 900 will be,
realized. This with $4,000 due the.
grand lodge from the supreme lodge.
for arrearages, will, it is hoped, en-
able the lodge to catch up with the
death claims. Whether the old men
will be forced to continue their
Speclal assessments after that time
is a matter on which no member
will express certain opinion.
The board of trustees was en-
powered to borrow $4,000 on the
credit OF the order to meet urgent
claims.
1t is reported that the measure
was unanimously adopted, after q
lengthy and heated argument.
This is intended to avoid the n &C.
essity OF drawing upon the reserve
fund, which it is asserted. belongs
soley to the holders Of new policies
who have paid increased rates.
