The Dancers Of the Mines.

Great and mystically dreadful is the
earth from a mines depth. Man is in
the implacable grasp of nature. 1t has
only to tighten slightly and he is
crushed like bug. His loudest shrek
of agony would be as impotent as his
final moan to bring help from that
fair land that lies like heaven over his
head. There is an insidious silent en-
envy in the gas. If the huge fanwheel
on the top Of the earth should stop for
a brief period there is certain death,
and panic more terrible than any
occurring where the sun has shone en-
sues down under the tons of rock If
a man may escape the gas, the foods,
the ''squeeZes" of falling rock, the cars
shooting through little tunnels, the pre-
carious elevators, the hundred perils,
there usually comes to him an attack
Of miners asthma" that slowly racks
and shakes him into the grave--Ste-
phen Crane.

Orioin Of Curtain Calls,

The first curtain call took place On
the evening Of Feb. &c, 1743. On that
memorable evening Voltaire's "Me
rope was performed for the first time
in Paris. The author was known to the
Paris public, but nothing that they had
seen of his had pleased them so much
as ''Merope," and the enthusiasm found
expression in noisy demands to see the
author. In a letter Voltaire says this
of the incident: ''l'hey dragged me out
and led me by force to the box occu-
pied by the Duchesse de Fillars and
her daughter-in-law. The whole thea
ter seemed to have gone mad--all
shouted to the duchesse to kiss ne.
The noise became so great that the
lady finally obeyed. So I was, like
Alain Charter, publicly kissed, but he
was asleep, while was wide awake"
Now authors answer similar calls by
appearing before the curtain. They
gain in so far that they can be seen
better by their audience, but they must
dispense with the duchesse's kiss-at
least in p!1Alic.-Berliner Tageblatt.

Fto!emy's BID Boat.

Ptolemy Philopator) was fond Of
building big boats. One Of these is
said to have been 42O feet long, 81 feet
broad and y feet deep from the high
est point Of the stern. This vessel had
four rudders or what some would call
steering oars, as they were not fasten-
ed, each forty-fve feet long. She car
ried 1000 rowers, besides 5000 ma
rines, a large body of servants under
her decks and stores and provisions
Her oars were ifty-seven feet long,
and the handles were weighted with
lead. There were 1000 rowers on a
side, and it is supposed that these were
divided, into five banks. That this ex-
traordinary vessel ever put to sea is
doubted, but that she was launched
and used at times, if only for display,
several historians are agreed.

REAL ISSUE LOST SIGHT or

Chicago, April 1.-The fish wife
methods which have become FREEDOM
inant in the local municipal camraigl
seem to increase every day. The real
issue at stake, which involves the
method Of improving the local trans
portation system, has been almost lost
in the food of invective, vituperation
and libel suits threatened and actually
begun. Threats of criminal prosecu
ton are being hurled back and forth
between Individual politicians and be
tween the newspapers supporting the
rival candidates. Such choice ep
ithets as liar" 'perjurer," thief,
"grafter" and human polecat" are OF
every day occurrence.
Actual figures on the possible result
are exceedingly difficult to obtain. The
city of Chicago is normally Demo
cratic in a municipal campaign, but
this year there are strong delegations
which have gone from the Republican
ranks to Mayor Dunno because of their
Discrimination to vote for Busse. On
the other hand there is a large size
element in the Democratic ranks
which does not approve of much that
Mayor Dunno has accomplished Or
failed->to accomplish and these will
also bolt the party ticket The actual
amount of these assertions it is i'm
possible to estimate. The party man.
ayers as usual claim with much en-
phasis the coming election Of their
candidates. Mayor Dunno asserts that
he will be returned to Office by a nlu,
rality Of not less than 100000 The
Republicans claim an equal excess in
votes fer Busse.

Pronunciation of "Theatre,"

II theatre was originally written
"theater" in English, has it's pronunci-
alton also varied among the orthodox
that is to say. was there ever a time
when correct speakers said "theayter,'
as many Of the incorrect still do?
There is no direct evidence in verse Of
a serious kind for such pronunciation
so far as We know. Shakespeare GER
tainly pronounced the word as we do
now, says London journal. But since
"theayter' does really represent long
"a'' of the original Greek and Latin it
is not easy to understand how the vul-
gar could have Numbered on to it Of
their own accord. It would have been
more comprehensive if they had turned
an orthodox "theayter" into "theatei.,''
just as the second ca in "Amasis'
goes too often popularity shortened now
The French language has had to mark
the length of the "a in theatre by
giving it rather Irregular circumflex
accent

Title Granted at Last.

The original townsite of
Spooner on the Rainy river near
Baudette, which was staked out
three years ago and application
made to the government for title
under the Government Townsite
Laws, has at last been patented;
the title running to Francen,
Stanton and others of Interna-
tional Falls and the west two
tiers of blocks to H. O'Neal of
that village, who was one of the
original squatters on the land.
The clearing up of the title to
this land, which comprises 100
acres, will be a great relief to
quite a number of enterprising
business men who erected sub.
stantial buildings on some of the
lots in this tract and spent much
money in clearing up the streets,
etc, and perfecting the title.
The TOWNSHIP is we'll located
commanding half a mile of Rainy
river frontage, Immediately
across from the City of Rainy
River, Ontario, where the Shev-
lin interests have a large saw
mill, and is only a half mile up
river from the large sawmill of
the Shevlin- Matthew Lum Der Co.
in the plat recently laid out and
called East Baudette but now in
the village of Spooner. At least
one street will be extended to
the intersection with one of the
streets of East Baudette and
turnpiked and graveled this
spring so that the new tract will
become valuable addition to
East Baudette. Those interested
in the land anticipate nice bust
ness in residence lots this year
and hope to get considerable
business interests in their part
Of the village also.

Knives Are Tiny Saws,

Knives, no matter how carefully
sharpened, are little saws. The grind
ing away of the steel, done by the
stone, is not an even work, but when
the edge gets thin is Il process Of tear
Ing away tiny bits Of steel by the grit
of the stone. This tearing makes the
teeth. A fine stone makes fine teeth, a
coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving
knife used on meat is sharpened on 4
coarse stone or steel and has coarse
teeth, although it's edge is thick. It's
action in parting the meat is more tina t
Of q saw than a fine wedge. No matter
how soft~it may be it will not cut
easily unless it is drawn over the meat
and not simply pressed down. A razor.
however, with it's paperlike edge, will
cut into flesh with simple pressure
1t is a wedge dividing the tibers OF

fine indeed-hllndreds and hundreds to

Luck In Ea|Einc,

"It's peculiar thing the tricks that
luck will now and then play a chap"
said prominent physician recently.
Take, for instance, the breaking Of
bones in ones body. Did you ever
stop and think how very many hard
and high falls a man can have, light
on rocky ground With half his body
twisted under the other half, so to
speak. and come off with not even q
scratch: Then, again, a fellow will
just trip over his own foot and, falling
to the ground. break leg or an arm.
A good many Will say it all depends on
how one aiights. but that seems to
have absolutely nothing to do with it.,
as | have seen a man alight in GER
tain way from q high fall and never
injure himself, and then again have
seen a second chap alight in the same
Identical way and break leg and an
arm."-Columbus Dispatch.

'Peaks that seem inaccessible may
be climbed by turns and twists. Noun.
tain climbing is question of getting
around the bad places. Getting around
your difficulty-that is the secret Of
mountain climbing. List, the great
musician, had the ability to get around
things; hence I am sure he'd have
made a good mountaineer Once at Il
dinner LISTS hostess cried in a horri-
fed voice that there were thirteen at
table,
Don't let that alarm you, madam
said List, with a reassuring smile,
I'll eat for two"

NO EXCEPTION WILL EE MADE
All Fences Must Be Removed From
Public Lands.

PUBIC LANDS. ..-
Washington, April 1.-Secretary
Garfield has found it necessary to in
form Governor Frantz Of Oklahoma, as
he did Governor Brooks Of Wyoming
On Thursday last, that he can make
no exception in favor Of Oklahoma il
respect to the order for the removal
Of the fences on public lands and he
so notified the governor. In his ap-
peal for delay Governor Frantz said
that practically. all Of the public do
main in that territory had been alb
sorbed by the land grants in the pros,
pective state and he urged that the
lands could be rented to better al
vantage if the fence order was not
enforced. He added that "cattlemen
using these lands were ready to pay
rental to the state If the order be held
not to apply to Oklahoma, but want
to know Immediately if the order is
to apply so as to remove fences@and
herds and abandon pastures. Such
abandonment would cause large loss
to the educational funds of the terri
tory and state" In his reply MI. Gar
field said:
81 cannot exercise any discretion as
to the enforcement Of the fencing law
The public domain in Oklahoma must
be treated exactly the same as else
where"

If Lion Pulls and Horse Pulls.

If lion and strong horse were to
pull in opposite directions, the horse
would pull the lion backward with
comparative ease. But if the lion were
hitched behind the horse and facing in
the same direction and were allowed to
exert his strength in backing he could
easily pull the horse down upon his
launches or drag him across the ring,
% much greater is his strength when
sxerted backward from the hind legs
than in forward pulling Chambers
