a distinctive lesson which is clear

acts, and should be seen and heard
by everybody. The unfavorable

Foreigners in Japan find great oppor,
tunity to purchase curios at the begin

is expected to clear up his books aid
pay his debts by the last day Of the old

more often miIes-of bills to 1.-THE hon.
orabIe lady of the house" and presents
are politely exchanged all around. Shop.
keepers hold bargain saIes to enable them
to pay the wholesale houses, aud il a
man cannot rise sufficient money to pay
his creditors it is not an uncommon thing
for him TO sell off sufficient or even all oil
his property at sacrifice to enable him
to meet the new year With smiling
face. The only honorable way out of his
difficulties is for him to commit suicide.

NAMES OE FLOWERS

1t Is interesting to know how certain
flowers got their names. Many were
named after individuals. For instance :
Fuchsias were so called because they we're
discovered by Leonard Fuchs. Dahlias
were named for Andre Dahl, who brought
them from Peru. The camelis was so
called for a missionary named Kamel,
who brought some magnificent specimens
of the fowerAto France from Japan. He
called it the rose of Japan, but his friends
changed it to Camelia. Magnolias were
named in honor of Professor Magnol de
Montpelier, who fret brought the beau
tiful tree to France from America and
Asia. Because they trembled with the
wind is the meaning Of Anemones. The
Latin word to wash IS laVare and lavender
received its name because the Roman put
the flowers into the water when they
washed, to perfume their hands.

@@~%- 2.
Langham WINGED at Goring's
tone, but said nothing.
Later, in the group gathered
on the piazza waiting the dinner
summons, Langham found Mar
ion in her simple toilet more en-
trancing than before, and he i'm
mediately attached himself to
her. He noted that the women
of the party, while they treated
her with politeness, evidently re-
garded her as unimportant. Mrs.
Harding sent them in to dinner
together.
During dinner Mrs. Harding,
talking of people she knew in
England, said suddenly to Lang
ham, Oh, Mr.. Langham, do you
know Jacks friend, the Earl of
Netherwood?
Langham started, wrinkled his
nose, aud dropped his eyeglasses
with a funny little trick he had
and said, Album! I-yes-that
is, I've met him, he finished with
a sort of gasp.
Mrs. Harding called across to
her brother, Jack dear, didn't
you tell me you expected Lord
Netherwood to visit you some
time this summer?
Goring for a moment appeared
to be choking, but recovered and
said, Yes, Kate, I think he'll be
here later.
Delightful man, isn't he? asked
Mrs. Harding.
Best in the world, that is, con-
sidering he's an Earl, cordially
responded Jack. Ask Langham
about him, he continued. I say,
Langham, you know Lord Neither
wood?
Oh, very slightly, said Lang
ham, looking appealingly at Cor
ing.
Jack had another attack oi
choking; then he said, Oh, ] dom
believe you do know him very
well.
Late the next day Mrs. Hard
| ing led her brother to a secluded
corner of the grounds. Now
Jack, she said severely, what
does this mean? Twenty foul
hours here, and not out of hel
sight except to sleep! You1
Englishman seems a nice harm
less little chap; but is he suitable
for Marion Holbrook?
Suitable gasped Jack. Nice
harmless little chap! Oh, my
prophetic soul, Kate darling, yor
will be the death of me! with
which Goring sat down on the
grass and rocked himself to an6
fro, shaking with laughter.
Jack, you goose, what is it? de-
manded his sister. Tell me al
once, or l shall be furious with
you!
| Oh, oh, oh! groaned Jack; then
between gurgles and chuckles he
said, You asked him about Lord
Netherwood! Why, Kate dear.
he is .Netherwood! He's the
same kind of lunatic that Marion
lis. Suitable =? Good Moses /! ]
should say so!
Mrs. Harding looked dazed for
a moment, then she shrieked,
Oh, Jack, you dear delightful old
goose! Isn't it too delicious
with which she also pumped
down on the grass and gave her,
self up to unholy mirth.

SAVES OLD PAPER.
Copper Country Resident Has Copy
Of Paper in Early Days.

Nearly every day someone comes to
the front with a relic either in one
form or another, and now comes a cop
per country resident with a copy of the
L'Anse and Michigamme Bee, little
newspaper printed in Michigamme,
May S, 1880. 1t was the second number
of the paper and does not tell how long
it continued but it has in any event
gone the way of many other good
newspapers.
The paper was published and edited
by Sylvester Kinney in Michigamme,
to which town the greater bulk of the
news is devoted. ''Pequaquaming.
which town is now spelled with one less
syllable, is represented by half col
umn of news and L'Anse is given an
entire column
The Bee was little paper, its pages
about one-quarter the size of the pa
pers of today, three columns to page
Mr.. Kinney evidently had his struggles
with his advertisers, as there are only
three ads IN the sheet and two OF them
are repeated.
Twenty-eight years ago does not
seem such long stretch of history but
at that time there were no papers in
the copper country proper, there were
no railroads and L'Anse was at once
railroad terminal and railroad center.
Summer transportation was by means
of the Steamer Ivanhoe from L'Anse to
Houghton, connecting with the M. H. &
o., railroad at L'Anse. Winter trans
portation was overland by stage from
L'Anse to Houghton, the Overland
Transportation company" doing the
carrying. In the early spring the
route included a tug ride from L'Anse
to the Entry and overland from there
