As stated by our Torch Lake CORES
pendent yesterday the Hubbeu council
has decided to pay for the rebuilding
OF the cement walk I'm front of the new
First National bank in that village,
in accordance with an understanding
when the old walk was taken out ny

satisfactory grade. This is the wiscs;
course for the HubbcH authorities To-
pursue. The opposition of some of the
councilmen To the rebuilding of the
walk because the bank was a corpor-
alton and could better afford il than
the village. admitting at the same
time that IL an individual instead of

there would be no hesitation about

Men Who Fought Britain's Battles
Have Been Irish or Scotch.

There has not been an English gen.
eral since Marlborough. Wellington
was born at Dangan castle. Meath. OF
an old Irish family called Wesley. and
chirstened in Dublin. Wolfe was born
at Ferneaux abbey, Kildare, and chris
tened at Westerham-nearly in the
same case as the Brontes (Brunty)
His grandfather defended Limerick
against William III.
Sir John Moore and the Napiers
we're Scotchmen; so was Abercrombie

Crawford and Clyde. Wolseley, Rob
erts aud Kitchener are Irish. So was
Cough. The generals and statesmen
who saved India to Great Britain were
Neill, Nicholson, the two Lawrences
Qrish), Edwards (Welsh), and Rose
(Scotch).
l know of Wolfe because my great
grandfather served under him at Que
bee. His Irish birth was corroborated
to me by Capt. Dunno, once we'll

GAVE BIRTH TO MICE IN TRAP.
Male Parents Devotion Rewarded by
Freedom of Brood.

A Manayunk woman, going to her
mouse trap the other morning, found
a mouse in it, with six little mice as
well.
They had, of course, been born after
their mothers capture-an amazing
thing. But more amazing still was
the fact that they lay in small round
nest like a birds, nest made of bits
of paper, thread, straw and shreds of
linen and flannel.
The woman, instead of drowning
forthwith the mother and her brood
retired, and from the next room
watched the trap secretly. Her watch
soon was rewarded. Another mouse
trotted up with great caution, thrust a
straw through the bars, and a few
moments later returned with a shred
of pink calico. The captive mother,
with these contributions, proceeded to
complete her nest
This incident so moved the woman
that on retiring that night she put a
handsome piece of cheese in the trap
and opened the tiny door. When she
came down in the morning mother
and young and cheese were gone-the
nest alone remained to witness to the
truth of her tale

COMPENSATION FOUND IN COLD.
Has Stimulating Effect on the Brain,
According to Writer.

l have often asked to be told why
it is that man with a cold in the
head feels himself to be a superior
sort of being to the man with no cold.
You must have observed for yourself
that this is the case. Take indeed,
your own cold. You refer to it, thirty
or forty times day, as my cold"
You feel quite sure that everybody
you meet will know that you have a
cold, and that everybody will be in
terested in its progress You will find
yourself, when in the full enjoyment
of a cold, airing opinions that you
would certainly keep to yourself un-
der normal conditions, and casually
contradicting the statements of those
for whom, as matter of fact, you
cherish a very sincere respect. There
must be some simple physiological ex-
PLANTATION for this, and l should be
greatly obliged If some medical reader
would put me in the way of under
standing it. Is it that the cold acts
in some soothing way upon the nerves,
thus freeing the self-conscious man,
temporarily, from his timidity? Or Is
it that the fever accompanying a cold
has stimulating effect upon an other
wise slightly torpid brain?

A Case Worth Trying.

Mr.. F. Philander Towersby, most
excellent citizen, though not noted for
lavish prodigality, received recently a
consignment of very rare Toukayer
Ausbruch He sent one bottle of the
delicious wine to Justice Fordyce of
the surname court who happens to be
one of the most eminent connoisseurs
in America, and with the bottle sent
note asking his honor's opinion of
the vintage.
Mr. Towersby received next day this
reply:
MY Dear Sir: 1 beg to thank you
for the confidence you repose in my
judgment, as shown by asking for my
opinion.
But, inasmuch as l am a lawyer,

make it impossible for me to give an
opinion on anything but case. "-Har-

KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM.
One Mans Method of Making Life At
tractive to Sons.


"a farmer whose son is also q
farmer is writing his autobiography
for the Worlds Work. The editor has
asked him to tell particularly how his
son came to enjoy farm life and not
banker after the allurements of the
city.
From the very first" says this
rural philosopher, "my partner and
set out to make life enjoyable for our
children" his partner" being his wife,
There follow tales of porterhouse
steaks which would have appetized
the jaded palate of dyspeptic presi-
dent" and of huge bowls of straw
berries and cream (which Queen Vic
toria might have envied" For play
fellows the fortunate young folks of
this farm had calves, colts, horses,
pigs, pigeons, Angora rabbits, dogs,
birds, guinea pigs "and even white

Boys and girls do not enter this
world of their own desire The com
nandment which bids them honor
their fathers and mothers has an I'M
written corollary. Parents must honor
and comfort their children. The farm
er in the magazine did this in setting
forth the best he had in thought and
food. 1t is likely that many son
has gone further astray than "off the
farm for lack of such a keen sense
of loving responsibility at the head of
the home. Anyway, the boy is not
kept to the acres by the selling of the
best joints to the city markets while
the chuck steak is served to the
family.

ADDS TO CAPACITY OF ENGINE.
Efficiency Increased Without the Con-
sumption of More Fuel.

At the Royal Technical school, in
Charlottenburg, Germany, there has
recently been tested, with remarkable
results, a method of increasing the
efficiency of steam engines, which was
invented by two Germans some time
ago. but has only now been effectively
applied.
The principle depends upon the en-
ployment of the exhaust steam from
an ordinary compound engine to evap-
crate another liquid having a lower
boiling point than water. The liquid
used is sulphurous acid. The heat of
the exhaust steam is sufficient to lib
crate sulphur dioxid gas, and this,
passing into the cylinder of an aux
iliary engine, acts the part of steam.
1t is afterward condensed and goes
back to the vaporizer. The result is
said to be that to every indicated
horsepower developed in the main en-
CINE about half horsepower is added
by the auxiliary engine, without in
creasing the consumption of fuel

Moistenins the Air.

Why, whatever Is that for?'' ask
caller Of a Harlem housewife, as she
sighted deep pan, holding about two
quarts of water, which was steaming
merrily on top of the steam radiator in
the parlor
THAT is to keep the furniture from
falling apart and the piano from going
to rack and ruin" replied the house
wife. 1T is something learned in the
natural gas country, and if other peo-
pie did the same they would not suffer
so much with headaches when they
are shut in hot, steam-heated apart
ments these cold days, nor would their
furniture warp and crack or the glue
dry up and fall out of the joints. Steam
heat is as dry almost as natural gas
heat, and where natural gas is used a
pot or pan of water must be kept on
the stove or fireplace, the steam aris-
ing from it keeping the air moist"

BAD NOTES EASILY DETECTED
Almost Impossible to Impose Upon
Handlers of Money.

Incidentally it is interesting to note
that the skill which enables one to de-
tect counterfeit comes not from a
study of counterfeits, but from a thor
ough and unconscious familiarity with
the genuine If a man were pointed
out to you and you were told that some
day another who much resembled him
would try to impose upon you, you
would be pretty apt to fix his features
In your mind; you would not spend
any time looking at other people who
looked something like him, would you?
And the moment the impostor ap
peared you would note that in this
that or the other particular he failed
to meet the details of the other mans
face and figure. Just so it is in the
detection of counterfeits. A . skillful
teller in a bank, counting money rap
idly, will involuntarily throw out a
note which in the slightest degree de-
parts from. the well-known pattern
which is so strongly impressed on his
mental vision. That involuntary act
will nearly always prove to have been
justified, for the bill in 10 cases out of
20 will prove to be counterfeit. 1t is
because of this fact that when a re-
quest is received from some one to
loan him a collection Of counterfeits
for the instruction of his cashiers, he
is advised to have the. young men
study the genuine carefully, and there
will be no trouble in detecting the bad
notes.-Nationa Magazine.

Poorly Paid for Great Work.

Oliver Goldsmith was an underpaid
man from start to finish. Fifty pounds
(s25O) for "The Vicar of Wakefield"
was bad enough, yet for THE Travel
err he got but ego ($1OO) and e5
($25) for his English Grammar" For
1.-THE Deserted Village" however, his
publisher sent him 100 guineas ($5OO)
This he at once returned, with the
message: ut is too much; it is near
five shillings couplet, which is more
than any bookseller can afford or, in
deed, any modern poetry is worth" So
he died with $4,000 worth of debts.

BOY ROSE TO THE SITUATION.
Quick Wit and Intelligence Displayed
by Youngster.

His parents are convinced that, Clar-
ence will be a great man; the only
doubt is whether it will be as a states
man or scientist. He is only four
years old, and their confidence is
based largely on one incident. The
boy never told of it, and it would have
been lost to history If a neighbor had
not been . chance witness.
Clarence lives in the suburbs, and
has a cat and kittens. One day he
went into the yard next door with one
of the little ones to play. There was a
big pile Of brushwood here, and he
showed his pet into hole in this.
She crawled SO far back that all his eff
forts to get her out were vain.
Had he been q man he would have
pulled the pile of brush apart, but
lacking strength for this he resorted
to cunning. Running home, he soon
returned with the mother cat. He
showed her into the hole after her Off
spring, and she soon came out with
the little one between her teeth. Clar-
ence bore them both home in triumph.

The Arctic sealer endures a hard
life. Sealing does not consist only of
hurried scrambling over ice, and fierce
breathless battling afterwards. There
are many hardships to endure The
most common type of Arctic weather
is dense, lung clogging fog, with a
rasp of cold that is enough to freeze
a glowing furnace. This fog may be
diversified with cruel billiards of pelt-
ing snow. borne on the wings of the
constant gales. Once the snow passes
come sleet and rain-rain that is as
cold as ice. Misery prevails greatly
among the crews of Arctic sealers, for
the dampness and the cold soon sap
the stoutest constitutions.

We have come to realize that a
child needs something more than
clothes and food to develop the best;
it needs the love that can only be
found in home. The success of the

achieved by recognizing each unit,
though it be merely puny little child
of want or crime, as an individual,
