Even though you should never marry. my dear, the contents of your dover chest will never come amiss, besides the great help it will be in making you an efficient needlewoman.'

STARTS A powER CHEST

My young friends used to say to me so often, 'Ach, Martha, you will be the poor housewife when you are married, with no store of linen like ours to last you all your life, that at last could stand 1t no longer and besought father to let me start a dover chest, too.
 After some persuasion he presented me with that old mahogany high-boy you have asked me to will you, and told me to start in on my dover things at!once. Then. by way of encourage ment. he gave me the finest sheep in his flock had it's wool carded for me. and from 1t spun this pair of blankets which are still good. after more than half century's use.
 rThis was the beginning of my wed- ding outfit. and I tell you. my dear, not one of my friends had such treas ures in her dover chest as had when I was welded to your grandfather. Everything in 1t was made by my own hand. too.
 T read in the paper the other day an account of young engaged girl being given a linen shower by her friends for her dover chest am glad to find that the good old GUS tom of owning such chest is in favor once again, and the practical girl has as one of her fads the making of her own rousseau

 Saving Hints
Pulling Out the Warp

LAVE you ever been annoyed by H want of a very fne thread7 wsll, here Is an idea. 1t amounts to very little as an economy. but as a con- venience It's proportion is great The very incest fine thread you can have for sewing is the warp of fine lawn. But 1t must be the warp and not the cross-thread. The next time you tear oil selvedge, instead of feeling ar- moved at the long threads which come loose, wind them on a spool for future use. They will be very handy. You will find them quite strong and much nicer to work with for very fine sewing than Is a manufactured thread of the same thickness. Tn making fine ties by hand. for instance. if the hems are sewed with this warp. not . single stitch will be visible, and the sewing will last as long as if made with manu- factured cotton.
 In making colored dresses, this sauas plan is a good one to follow in regard 10 any specially dainty little pisca of sewing as one is sure of a good match" Also. 1t Is we'll to have on hand such threads to use for darning. should necessity occur. Here you not only have the color. but the fibre and the exact thickness.

Big Gains Made,

Iron and steel exports from the
United States in the fiscal year, which
ends with next month, will aggregate,
approximately, S175. 100000 in value,
against S57 900, 900 decade earlier and
SIG, 900, 900 two decades earlier.
Figures issued by the bureau of sta
tistics of the department of commerce
and labor show the value of iron and
steel manufactures exported in the
ten months ending with April, 1907.
to have been about $3.50, 900, and
these figures seem to justify the esti-
mate of $4,000. 00O, speaking in
round terms, as the value of iron and
steel exports for the fiscal year 1907.
In the fiscal year 1897 the total val
ue of iron and steel manufactures ex-
ported was only S57,O0O,0 900, and in
1887, decade earlier, the total was
little less than S16,000,00O.

Homemade Curfew.

Every family should have curfew
which should positively. "ring to-

These curfews are inexpensive and can
be homemade. Take piece of siding
two feet long and white one end
down to handle; then take the child
that needs the curfew and bend him
over barrel. Nowltake the piece Of
siding in the hand and use it for a
clapper. Put it on hot. Divide the
strokes evenly and see that none miss.
Good for boy or girl up to- the age Of
16, and applications are warranted to
cure the most pronounced cases of

Real Estate Taxes.

Saturday was the last day for the
payment of the whole or one-half Of
the real estate taxes and those who
failed to pay are charged up with a
ten per cent penalty. The forces in
the county treasurer's Office have been
particularly busy of late making out
receipts for taxes and those who sent
in their payments by means of checks
will probably have to wait several
days until the clerks catch up with
their work.
Real estate taxes are assessed
against the land aud not against the
owner, for that reason because of the
frequent transfers Of title that some
times occurs Oh certain tracts or par
cells of land, it would be Impractical BILE
to send out tax notices. such as are
sent out in case of personal property
taxes, where the persons directly
taxed are notified to pay the county
treasurer the amount assessed. Real
estate taxes create no personal liabil-
ity and they are not a lien on the
other land of the owner. For the
purpose of taxation the hand of the
state is always on all property within
its Jurisdiction.

Ore Shipments.

The Missabe road broke all records
for the month of May, shipping a
total of 1885,, 1921 tons. This road also
broke the record for unloading cars,
2,546 being unloaded in one day last
week. May is usually considered a
poor month for ore shipments. The
Duluth & Iron Range shipped total
of 22l 1874 tons against record of
ZOOS, 1898 tons in May last year. This
road is somewhat hampered in its
dock capacity at the present time by
reason of the rebuilding of one of its
largest docks at Two Harbors. The
total shipments TO June for both roads
amount to 1889, 945 tons.

FIREMEN VS.. MINES.
Interesting Ball Game Sunday on
the Local Grounds.

The much talked of battle on the
diamond between the Ely Fire De-
partment nine and the Pioneer Mine
nine will take place Sunday, providing
the weather will permit. The game
will be one of the hardest fought
affairs ever taking place in the north
west, as upon the outcome of the mo-
mentous meeting of the giants hinges
much pecuniary gain for the ballists.
Should the score run over two and a
shut-out on either side, several people
will be badly mistaken. The fire boys
feel confident that their side will win
and the mine nine is equally sure their
side is the best. Seraphine will be on
the SLAB for the firemen and Power for
for the mine. jenkins will handle
the big mitt for Seraphine and Visited
will do the same for Power. We un-
derstand the Winton boys will chal-
lenge the winners.

NEED IT BADLY.
Ely Needs a Hotel in Order &c
Accommodate Travellers.

The congestion at the hotels the
past week has again demonstrated
most forcibly the necessity of more
hotel facilities for Ely. All the hotels
have been filled to the top since Sat-
urday and the proprietors have been
kept on the jump securing rooms in
private places in which to house their
guests. Landlord Glode of the Ex-
change has been particularly crowded
all this spring.
The Fitger company of Duluth have
still under consideration the erection
OF hotel building on the old Vail
Hotel site, we understand, and have
only been deferred from beginning
the erection Of suitable building by
their inability to secure plans COM
mensurate with the amount of money
they intend to invest. Four sets of
plans, so far drawn, have exceeded the
limit by from $4,000 to $4,000. A
prominent business man, who visited

as proper arrangements could be

The tournament of the Northern
Minnesota Firemens Association in
August will tax the hotel capacity of
the city to the last cot. While no
