LAKE STEAMER IS DESTROYED Burned to Water’s Edge Near Calumet, Mich. CREW HAS NARROW ESCAPE Fifteen Men and One Woman Taken From Burning Vessel, but All Per- sonal Belongings Are Lost—Third Disaster of a Similar Nature to Oc- cur at the Same Place Within the Last Three Weeks. Calumet, Mich., Nov. 8.—The steam- er Wasago, Captain W. A. Glass, bound from Toronto to Fort William, Ont., with a cargo of farming machin- ery and supplies, was burned to the water's edge while lying in shelter from a heavy northwest gale at Cop- per harbor, on Keweenaw point, twen- ty miles north of here. The Wasago sank in thirty feet of water and the engines can be salvaged. The hull and cargo are a total loss, amounting { to $200,000. The crew of fifteen men and one woman were taken off by the steamer Westmount of the Montreal Transpor- tation company. This is the third disaster on Kewee- naw point in three weeks and the steamer is the second-destroyed by fire in that time. The steamer More- land, wrecked in Eagle river three weeks ago, is a total loss and has been abandoned by the underwriters. ‘The steamer Langham burned off Bete Cris and sank in 120 feet of water a week ago Sunday. As in the case of the Langham the fire on the Wasago started near the bows and members of the crew had a narrow escape, saving nothing. Cap- tain Glass is unable to explain the causes of the fire. The Wasago was built in 1876, was of 1,108 net tons, 238 feet long and 36 feet beam, and was owned by the Col- lingwood ~Shipbuilding company of Collingwood. Ont.

Chicago, Nov. 8.—Alderman F. A. Britten announced that on next Mon- day he will introduce an ordinance into the city council raising the license of all first class theaters from $1,000 to $2,000 per year. An ordinance clos- Ing all theaters on Sunday has also been proposed. The Languages of Paradise. Every language has its admirers. In “Lucile” the author, Owen ‘Meredith, maintained that when he heard French spoken as he approved he “found him- self quietly falling in love.,” Edward Hutton is another instance of this lin- gual fascination. In stating his pref- erence in his enchanting “Cities of Spain” he recalls an interesting me- diaeval legend. He says: “And as | listened to' thewsplendid syllables of the Castilian tongue that rang eloquently through-the twilight I’ remembered the saying of that old Spanish doctor of James How- ell tells us In his ‘Instructions For Forraine Trayell'—to wit, that Spanish, Italian and French, these three daugh- ters of the Latin language, were spo- ken in paradise; that God Almighty creatéd the world. in Spanish, the tempter persuaded Eve in Italian and Adam begged pardon in Krench.” An Indian’s Joke. Indians estract no little quiet enjoy- ment from what seem to them to be oddities in the speech, manners and customs of white people. An Arapa- hoe stepped into the store of a trader one day to purchuse some tobacco. The trader's son was in charge of the place. Now, this son was at that,em- barrassing stage of growth when the voice is changing. so that he never could tell whether tenor tones would issue from his lips or babylike fal- setto or de profundis bass. On this occasfon when the Indian asked for tobacco the youth's bass notes held the right of way, though they iwere speed- ily followed by ascending tones up to a squeaky falsetto, He asked the Indian, “Will you have fine cut tobacco or a plug?” beginning In a growl and ending in birdlike so- prano. The Arapahoe listened gravely to this vocal variety and then without a smile reversed tle process and, beginning with the youth's highest note and end: ing with his lowest, scaled, “I think I'll take some plug.”’—Southern Work- man. “Exercice and Rest.” What is the relation between exer- cise and rest? Work is that at which we nust continue, whether interesting or not, whether we are tired or not. It used to be thought that the prime requisite of rest was the use of facul- ties other 1aan those involved in the labor of the day. But there is such a thing as fatigne which goes deeper than daily work. We can work so hard as to become exhausted—too ex- bhausted for any kind of work. Per- haps this is will fatigue. It is coming to be regarded as fundamentally true that rest froum such fatigue demands continuity; that, for example, four pe- riods of fifteen wminutes each of rest is not the equivalent of one hour's rest; that a man who goes - on a vacation and takes half an hour of his business work every day is doing the same thing as the man who had a horse with a sore back. He kept the saddle on ouly a few minutes each day. but the sore did not have a chance to heal. Rest periods must be sufficiently con- secutive to overcome cousecutive fa- tigue.—Luther H. Gulick in North American Review. Cheerfulness and Cholera. A cheerful disposition is held by some doctors to be the best protection against cholera. When this disease first visited Paris in 1832 a notice was issued adv g the inhabitants “to avoid as f s possible all occasions of melancholy and all painful emo- tions and to seek plenty of distractions and amusements. Those with a bright and happy temperament are not likely to be stricken down.” This advice was largely followed. and even when chol- era was claiming over a thousand weekly vietims the theaters and cafes were thronged. The epidemic was in some quarters treated as a huge joke, and plays and songs were written around it. Rochefort wrote a play, “Le Cholera Morbus,” which proved a big success, and another production on the same lines, “Paris-malade,” also bad a long run.—London Chronicle. Ether Topers. Ether is consumed by gallons to get drunk on in a small parc of Scotland. The origin ~f this peculiar and limited abuse is strange. In 1848 a bad epi- demic of cholera broke out in Glasgow. Among those flying from it were some who came back to Draperstown, their native place. With them they brought a cholera mixture which they found “exceeding comforting.” A rascally doctor, knowing that the comfort pro- ceeded from ether, laid in a whole cask. He made his fortune and start- ed the habit that lasts till yet. Ether is sold over counters in Scotland, -the penny a drink. An old ether toper can drink two or three ounces a day. but one-half ounce is one big dram in wa- ter. The drinker gets hilarious in a minute. It is far wilder and more dangerous than alcohol. How Tortoise Shell Is Worked. The soldering of two pieces of tor- toise shell together is effected by means of hot pinchers, which, while they compress, soften the opposed edge of each plece and amalgamate them into one. Even the raspings and pow- der produced by the file, mixed with small fragments, are put into molds and subjected to the action of boiling water and thus made into plates of the desired thickness or into various arti- cles which appear to have been cut out of a solid block. Inconsistent. A man who took his infant daughter to be baptized told the clergyman to call her Venus. “But I refuse to call her Venus” said the clergyman indignantly. “Ve- nus is the name of a pagan goddess.” “Well, - how about your own girl, Diana?” said the man. Yiai T air Husband—I feel the mood for reading somethi:g sensational and startling—something that will fairly make my hair stand on end. Wife— ‘Well, here is my last dressmaker’s bill. Her Career. “Well, has your college daughter de- eided upon her career?” “Yes; he has blue eyes, brown hair and works in a hardware store.”— Louisville Courier-Journal. Carries On. ‘Woggs—So young Saphéad and his father are carrying on the business? Boggs—Yes. The old man does the business, while young Saphead does the ‘carrying on.—Puck.

GENERAL TIEUP PROBABLE Labor Leaders Threaton to Call Out Drivers of All Classes of Vehicles Because of Attitude of Express Com- panies—President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor Par- ticipating in Conferences. New York, Nov. 8.—Two thousand taxicab drivers have . struck in sym- pathy with. the strike of the drivers ani helpers of the express companies, which has practically tied up express business in and through this city for nearly two weeks. It was announced that at a meeting of labor interests a date for a general strike that would tie up practically “everything on wheels” in the city would be decided upon. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, 18 in the city and is participating in the conference of the labor leaders. Extraordinary - precautions’ are be- ing taken by the police to preserve order. All peace negotiations between the express companies and their .men have been suspended. Attacks on chauffeurs who stuck to their jobs were numerous. Twenty- Fall Causes Woman's Death. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 8.—Mrs. Wal- ter Egan of Kennebec is dead as the result of injuries received when she fell through a trapdoor leading to the basement under a Kennebec hardware store. Her head struck with sufficient force to fracture the skull. She lived only about an hour after the accident. Strike Situation Serious. London, Nov. 8—The situation in the South Wales coal fields, where 30, 000 miners are on strike because of the employment of nonunion men, be- came so threatening that the local au- thorities applied for the services of British cavalry. Must Be Rich. “He must have money.” “What makes you think so?" “He never takes the thirty days' grace allowed on his life insurance premiums.”—Detroit Free Press. A Fair Inference. Joe—For years I used to get up at 6, breakfast at 8, dinner at 1, tea at 6 and bed at 10. and I never felt better in my life. Bill—Joe, what were you in for?—London Telegraph.

Tobin of Indianapolis, gen- eral president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, left’ New York, said to be bound for Chicago or St. Louis. Tt is declared in labor cir-! cles in this city that the situation in hoth Chicago and St. Louis is now as acute as it was in New York a day or so before the strike.

The little plant sends up its shoots. with the frult on the end of a somewhat stiff stalk, and then before it ripens the stem bends over and carefully pushes the fruit un- derground. As pigs are said to be especially fond of these, it has been suggested that the plant does this to hide its nuts from the porker’s too in- quisitive investigations. , PE?FEGT, HIGH GRADE Diamonds -y - Set in 14k Solid Gold and Platinum Iountings We Specialize 1 »ifs Diamonds.” We do not agk our customers to choose between good and fairly good.
