Here are statements that sound wise; that will pass as the con-
NOR sense Of practical life. Yet their refutation is carried in the
very facts that the llpaid woman is in prison and the thrifty supply

There is no adequate defense for either Of the parties to the

employer should not have paid low wages for high service. There

for singing. In no other city known to opcrn-not in Paris or Rome,
any more than in London or Berlin or st. Petersburg-is there a
climate where the sun is so bright and the air so dry, whore there
is SO much ozone in the atmosphere and such tonic simulants in the
breeze.
But these sweet songs of cordial commentator ire marred by
the criticism of our radiant steam heat or steam heating radiators.
The singers say no one can sing who works o r sleeps in a steam
heated room; that our coy apartments are as bad as our climate is
good: that the tonic Of the air is yitated in the atmosphere of the
house; that we have Elysian weather, but don't deserve it.
Is all this a song-or a dance?

1t seems to be always so at Washington. No matter how grave
be the objections to any proposed measure when considered in itself
or with reference to it's objects, there is a sudden enthusiasm for it
the moment an appropriation is suggested.
Men plead for peace, they denounce large navies, but when it is
proposed to take money from the treasury for battleships there is an
outburst of approval.
Neither science nor popular entertainment calls for a spectacular
display of the skins Of the beasts that the Colonel killed. Such en-
thusiasm as welcomes the project is due solely to the Washington
mania for anything that rakcs the Treasury. It's a disease due to the
local atmosphere.

If there is. why was it not submitted to Congress?
If there isn't. why this extra session of the army?
Among the Mexican people the issue has precipitated n species
of warfare that tends to savagery. Nor is it strange. A mere trade
agreement caused among the cool people OF Canada a rumor that we
are aiming at annexation, and some Of them still believe it. II is not
natural, therefore, that the assembling Of an army on her border in

THE HOUSEHOLD

Make a hole i'm the middle. drop in
the eggs, unbeaten, and add just
enough milk to mix to a stiff drop
batter. Beat very thoroughly with a
wooden spoon. Gradually thin down
with the milk. The Dover egg beaten
may be used when about half the
milk is i'm. The batter should be much
thinner than for griddle cakes-"thin
cream" describes IT, Most people are
inclined To get il too thick and stod-
gy. Have ready a square baking pan,
too hot to hold, and swimming" with
kissing hot grease-about four table,
spoons would be needed for one cup
-four, etc. The drippings from a beef
roast are generally taken, but other
fat could be used. Pour i'm the batter,
to depth of about one-third of an
inch. The batter should "sizzle" as il
touches the pan, and some of the
grease should float on top. Bake at
once i'm a quick oven, about half an
hour, until brown and very puffy.
Cut i'm squares and serve with roast
beef and brown gravy. The same
batter makes excellent 'popovers."

TOWNSHIP BOARD MEETS;
MAKES Rt-APPOINTMtNTS

The Calumet township board held it's
regular monthly meeting this morning.
The first business the board partici-
pated in was to ratify the result Of
yesterdays township election.
Robert M. Wetzel, health officer, was
re-appointed for another year, as was
Attorney A. T.. Petermann, township
attorney. Both of these officials have
done efficient work during their terms
Of office, and their compartments
were expected.
An of the township officers bonds
we're made the same as last year,
and they will be notified TO that effect
by Clerk Martin tomorrow
There viii be a special meeting OF
the board April 20 at IL o'clock in the
morning for the purpose of passing up
on liquor bonds that will be on file by
that time.
1t is quite probable that the board
will take up the question of creating
at least one new precinct in the town
ship previous to the next annual cleo
ton. Copper City has an appeal on
file in the clerks office, asking that a
precinct be created there. Copper City
voters are now voting at the Wolverine
precinct, more than a mile away The
Wolverine precinct yesterday cast a
vote of 357, more than enough to en-
title the precinct to be split into two
precincts, 300 votes being required by
| law.

HOLDING EXAMINATIONS.
Tests in Y. M. C. A. Educational Work
Are Being Conducted.


Local students connected with the
educational department of the Y. NJ.
e. A. are interested in the international
educational examinations which are
being held this week in all Of the Y M.
G. AS throughout this and other coun-
tries.
Several Of the Calumet students are
participating, and expect to make a
good showing. The local teachers in
structing the students are conducting
the examinations in Calumet and will
pass upon the papers.
All local students receiving better
than rs per cent will have their pa
pers sent to the presiding educational
board of examiners in New York City
probably at the close of the present
week
1t is expected that the results Of
the international examinations will be
known the latter part of this month.
They will be awaited with more than
ordinary interest. because of the fact
that a number of Calumet young men
are concerned.
The local educational department is
one of the strongest and most efficient.
The membership is large, and the
teaching staff is composed of some of
the teachers of the Calumet high
school faculty. A pleasing feature of
the local department is the number
of young men from foreign countries,
classed as non English speaking, who
are taking an English course.

CARE OF THE EYES.

Although one of the most delicate
portions of the body. very often the
eyes are the hardest worked and least

Don't read or write on a moving
train.
Don't read with your head lowered.
Don't squint
Don't read i'm a dim or shifting light.
