Potter of the Illi- nois steel company said yesterday concerning the proposed ship yard for Chicago: “The Illinois steel company does aim at a diversity of product and does hope to aid in the con- struction of steel ships in Chicago, but our lans have not taken shape yet. Mr. Morse co been east —— to the negotiatiuns, sud on his return he will tell you just what has been accomplished. But the Minnesota iron company has not appointed any man to super~ intend the work here. We haven't got so far along as that. The company is in shape to ship 1,000,000 tons of ore a year, and as most of the ore goes to the east it is shipped by water to Lake Erie ports. It needs large ships to carry this ore and it has concluded that it must have them.

Bombay Letter in the Cleveland Leader. Isaw two women jugylers at Jeypore. They were bright, intelligent-looking girls, one of whom appeared almost old enough to be the mother of the other. They did many wonder- ful things, one of which was mixing up sand in water and then, putting the hand into the dis- colored fluid, they brought a handful of sand, which they filtered through their fingers as dry os before it went in, The youngest of these girls was perhaps fifteen. She was tall, well-formed and fine-looking. She had bracelets on arms and on feet, and her eyes were as beautiful as those of a gazelle. One of her tricks was the lifting of a h chair by her eyelids, the thought of which out makes my eyes sore. The chair was a heavy tome ord one, which belonged to the roomin which I ing. She tied two strong strings to the top of this and affixed the ends of these strings to her eyes by little round metal cu each about the size of a nickel. These fitte: over the eyeballs and under the lids, and she bent over while they were so fastened. Rais- | ing herself she pulled up the chair with these strings with the muscles of her eyelids, and carried it from one side of the room to the other. It was a horrible sight, and as she took the metal cups from her eyes they filled with water, and she almost sank to the floor. I told her the trick was disgusting, and that she ought never to try itagain. Still, for this and the rest of the show these girls were well satis- fied with 2 rupees, or about 70 cents. —————- ree Tied and Untied.

Premssvxe, July 18—At the fint glass makers’ convention yesterday the proposed re- fe 77 eg & if Spread as I used to, q Fé s Eee £ hi Kise for a Dollar. A contributor to the Forest and Stream gives the following account of an angling episode on ® Michigan trout stream: 4s I wound my joy-inspiring way slong the river Iwas ever alert for the radiant trout and enticing many a one to my quivering bait and to my creel. I knew my companion would hang his banner on high if he badly defeated folk as bene ee Passing no tempting spot unfinished i thought contained the quarry. As I waded ‘round a sloping bank, thick with sedate alders, my eyes were gladdened with a sight of & little boy and girl sitting on a log under the shade of a spreading oak. The girl had a it and winsome look, with curls of gold and cheeks like apples, and wore a straw hai gave her decidedly a + aslant on her yellow hair that prepossessing ya ance. Her barefooted brother, with his bright eyes, sunny face and rustic costume, was as t jue as a shepherd boy. The little ple so me that I waded ashore to have achat with them. The boy are me keenly as 1 spproached and asked if I had many trout and if I were fishing with a fly. I opened my basket and let the children take a peep at the gions fish, and then confessed to the boy tI was one of those contemptible bait fish- ermen. He then told me that he had some fif- teen trout in his fish box, which was fastened in the water near by, and that he wished to on eg them, but he said that he always had poor Inck in selling to the bait fishermen, as they always caught enough to satisfy them- selves. “You don’t sell to fi “Oh, yes, sir, quite ‘And why to them?” \ at this season of the year they hardly catch any,” “I am surprised that these high-art anglers would bey Been “They , though, but they always tell me not to give ’em away. “Do you!” “I can’t, for I don’t live in tcwn. My home is down by the bridge.” “Do you ever sell any to bait fishermen?” “Very seldom, bead always have 'em.” Here the little girl quickly spoke up and said: ‘. season we sold a lot to one,” “How was that?” “Why, you see,” said the lad, “there were two men trouting here. The first one that was fishing so hard that he paid no at- tion at all to us, only saying ‘Good morning. hildren,’ and then hurried on. After a whil his partner came ak to me I asked him if he didn’t want to buy some trout. At this hesmiled and came ashore and inquired how many I had. I told him twenty- five. He wa Sig right out and said: ‘Get ’em guick I pulled my box ashore, and as I put em in his basket he smiled and laughed all ying: ‘I'll snow him under now! I didn’t know what that meant then, but papa explained that he wanted to beat his partner. He never asked the price of ‘em, but putting his hands in his pockets he drew out some money and gave me $3, and then tossed $1 to : ‘That's for ro little bright eyes, was gone like # flash, fishin, went. Oh! he was such a handsome man. He had a gold chain around his neck and some- thing on his little finger that sparkled like the sun. Papa said it was a diamond, and learned down at the tavern that he was a big banker from the east. Sis and I will never forget him.” “Did you ascertain whether he snowed his partner under?” . “Oh, = papa learned all about it, and said he beat him badly and plagued him a great deal about it.” I was perfectly delighted with the conversa- | W tion I had with the children, but as I was not in for the | oprae of trout I told the little girl if she would give mea kiss I would give her a dollar, The little boy's eyes were all a sparkle at this, and turning quickly to his little sister he sai “Sis, kiss the nice gentleman.” The little elfin then cheerfully got upon the outer end of the log near the water, and as she removed her straw hat her bright curls grace- | fully flowed over her nut-brown shoulders, and | the sun which struck this part of the oaken | trunk bathed her head in crimson and gold, thus giving her the appearance of a “little fairy queen that gamboll'd on heaths and danced on ev'ry green.” I presented my | bronzed and furrowed face with heavy beard | and thick moustache she bent forward and her | sweet little innocent lips gave me a hearty kiss | that I Spat more highly than if it had been from the rosy mouth of maiden royal. “Here's your dollar, sis, and one for you, | bub,” suiting action to word, and then I bade | them a hasty good-bye, and wading out into the cold water pr ded with my fishing lest | Talso should be ‘snowed under.” I turned | and looked back at them before I passed the bend just ahead of me that would shut them out from my view. and there I beheld them both standing on the log intently watching me, with the little girl gracefully wafting kisses, to which I sincerely responded, and then the little romance of the stream ended but not forgotten, for it will always live in delight- ful memory as one of my rarest pleasures of trouting on the Boardman, “Ah! what the world would be to us the cluldren were to wove, We should dread the desert More than the durk befor The Dread of Night Air.
