Pure Water.

While the council meeting held last
Monday evening was not very long
one several important matters were
taken up and disposed OF. Perhaps
the most important was the decision 10
purchase six additional street lights
and to erect them this fall about the
streets OF the city. The street light
ing system has never been extensive
enough to adequately light the city
and one reason for this was the fact
that insufficient power existed to.pro-
vide the necessary facilities for operat-
ing the pumping plant aud lighting
plant at the same time. The former
councils thought 1t best not 10 load the
plant with more street lights than
would allow Of adequate fire protection
Since the installation OF -the new
wheels the power has been increased
sufficiently to take care of all the lights
that the city will ever need to add.
The recent purchase is but the begin
ming OF considerable expansion in the
street lighting system Of the city.
Another important move made was
the decision to extend the water intake
to q point far enough north OF the
mouth Of the Bviar Hill creek to escape
amy liability Of getting mixed mp with
the sewerage from the Bristol mine
and Falls location. The pipe has been
purchased and will be laid this fall.
The present intake extends only a.
bout half way to the North Western
railroad bridge and the Briar Hill
creek empties into the river just north
OF said bridge. The extension will be
laid about In the center Of the river 80
ss to avoid the waller pumped out OF
the Great Western mine contaminating
the source OF supply.

water mains along Harrison avenue

STORY IS THAT DoUBlE TRACK AND
NEW DocKBA CERTAINTY
DOUBLE TRACK TO sTAGtR
Ore Dock Is TO be Completed Ready for
Ilse Next Season and VIII be the
Largest in the Country.

What at first seemed to be only idle
rumors is being repeated so often and
so persistently that IL begins to look as
IL the North Western surely means to
do something big in the way of i'm.
proving its Menominee river branch.
The story as told is that the old Sch
lesinger grade will be used as a second
track for the ore business from Stager
to Escanaba. The old grade is graded
only 10 Florence and the east end OF il,
that portion between Iron Mountain
and Escanaba. is ironed and has been
in use by the North Western people for
many years. The grade between An
toine and Florence is in bad shape but
could be put In condition very cheap
ly. From Florecne to Stager the route
and grade will be new one.
What lends color to the story Is that
a crew OF North Western surveyors
started In at Florence last week to es-
tablish line connecting the Schlesin-
ger grade with the North Western at
Stager The route will pass to the
north OF the Florence mine and will
be about mile shorter than the pres
ent route and a much better one. elm
mating the bad reverse curve ut the
Brule bridge.
Those in petition TO know say that
the effort is TO establish a route with
grades that will allow OF train OF 90
Hfty-ton cars being taken out OF Stager
through to Escanaba. The intention
is TO double track only to Stager as II
10 at that point that the Crystal Falls
and the Iron River lines merge and
the ore traffic from the two towns are
crowded onto one set OF rails at that
station.
The new road will run 10 the north
Of Iron Mountain 30 that none Of the
ore business needs pass through that
place where there is great congestion
under present conditions
In addition to the new line the
North Western lis contemplating the
erection OF big ore dock to take the
place OF the Schlssinger dock that col
lapsed last spring The work OF re.
moving the Schlesinger dock Is now
under way and IL is said that as soon
as that labor Is completed.the erection
OF the new dock will commence. Ru-
NOR has IL that the new dock will be
mainly OF steel and that IL will be the
largest dock on the lakes.
But. the remarkable part OF the story
Is that the dock rs well as the new line
will be completed, ready for use next
season when IL is expected that all pre-
vious records In the handling of iron

Anoients Wore Sheath Gowns.

1t need not be supposed that even
feminine fashions can evolve some
thing new under the sun. A learned
Psychologist discloses that the sheath
gown was popular among the ladies Of
the Nile Is centuries before the Chris
tian era. One gown was made of fine
linen, adorned with elaborate designs.
The professor thinks that the slit in
the side was intended to display the
wearer's precious anklets. These an
cient ladies also dressed their hair
elaborately with puffs and padding
They painted their faces and lips, as
shown by rouge and pomade jars. All
of this is reassuring to man who may
have thought that some of the modern
developments of the dressmaker were
without precedent in their eccen-
tricity. Once more is demonstrated
the fit coupling of the words "eter-
nap ana feminine"

Usefulness Of Spiders.

Despite the fact that the spider,
next to the mouse, is most violently
stimulating to feminine sensitiveness,
1t is an insect of very good charac-
ter. II feeds exclusively upon other
freshly killed insects, and they are the
kinds denounced by sanitary authori-
ties, the house fly being its favorite
quarry. His service in reducing the
numbers of this pest is considerable,
because the spider is always busy and
he is present in countless numbers
The reason why he Is not more fire.
quently seen is that he is retiring in
his habits and shuns human society
quite as much as 1t shuns him. He
seldom bites anything but his food,
and even when in self-defense he does
assert himself, the result is no worse
than a mosquito bite or a bee sting
The touching story Of "The Spider and
the Fly was evidently intended to
invite sympathy for the fly. but that
was before Musca domestica had had
his picture posted in the rogues' gal
lcry of insect life.-Leslie's Weekly.

Pumpkin Pie at s5 a Throw.

Mlnce and pumpkin pies selling at
S. each when auctioned to the guests
at a pie supper given at the Turner
district school near Columbia raised
enough money to buy sectional book
cases and a well-selected library of
rs books for the school district. The
pies were donated by girls in the
school and by their mothers. In a
recent report ]. Kelly Wright, coun-
ty school commissioner, said: Forty
per sent of the rural schools in this
county have no school library at all.
This Is the case in districts where
farmers live who are worth from $780,
900 to 100000. The pie route to
learning is popular this fall and over
a dozen districts have added to a
library fund by this means"

HALF THE BATTLE OF LIFE
seIf.RelIance and the Ability to Meet

most Value.

Being able to meet an emergency In
life, no matter what It may be, is a
form of self-reliance that every WON.
an should train and develop herself
for. 1t expresses itself In an ability
to make quick decisions, and, having
done that, acting without doubt and
hesitation, straining at every point to
justify the action by bringing 1t to g
successful finish.
More than half the women in the
world fail, not only in important but
trivial things, because they are afraid.
Necessity in some form obliges them
to make a decision. OF their obliga-
tion to do this they have no doubt,
but as there is always the possibil.
ity of another way being better than
that decided upon, they waver, go
ahead half-heartedly, and, in the sec

only partial success, because they lack
self-reliance. They are not sure OF
themselves, either of their ability
or wisdom, and neither is strength.

Doubt, after a positive step in any

either in work or in daily domestic

with wandering If It would have been
better to have used another recipe
the chances are against her turning
out as good cake as 1t would have

lady passenger to close the ventila-
tors. AS he had already been impor
tuned TO open them by half dozen
other patrons he resorted TO diplo-
macy.

tone, 'I'd gladly close the ventilators,
but unfortunately health officer is
aboard the car and he insists that
they must be left open. I'd make my
self liable to a lot of trouble II |

"a health officer?" said the lady.
'Yes'm," replied the conductor. And
then intoxicated by the success Of his
scheme he unhappily added-"the one
with the brown derby"
The lady looked and change came
over her face.
THE one with the brown derby?"
she repeated.
"Yesm. They say he's quite an ex-
pert on germs and things. believe
he's a German gentleman"
The lady stared at the conductor.
He's nothing of the kind" she
snapped. The man with the brown
derby is my husband"

Diet of the Old.

A sane diet for a person of 20 or 70
should be made up largely of vege-
tables and fruit, some fish, some eggs,
a little meat and simple cereals, If
there is no inclination toward obesity.
Drinking with ones meals is not
considered advisable, especially as IL
guilds are apt to wash down the food
before it is properly masticated. Two
quarts of water, or more, should be
taken between meals. however, during
the day. Hot water is especially good
for one who does not exercise much,
as it fushes out the entire system.
Stimulants, such as tea and coffee,
should not be very strong.-Harper's s
