UPPER MICHIGAN.
Mining regions are proverbially bar
ren and rocky, and the Upper Peninsula
of Michigan—at least that portion of it
which is so productive of iron and cop
per—forms no exception to this rule. It
is old—older than most of our hills, for
it was the first land that was attached to
the original Laurentian nucleus about
which our continent has been formed.
It has, in consequence, always been a
favorite field for geological study, and
its novel industrial features make it no
less interesting to the ordinary traveler.
The face of the country is nigged and
seamed and worn. Were it not for its
mineral wealth it would remain perman
ently a wilderness. Lumber companies
would invade here and there, and retire
after having robbed the forest of the
pine which is found in a few scattered
patches. It would be an eddy where the
stream of Western migration had left
a few Indians and woodsmen to subsist
by the methods of primitive life. The
land is generally valueless from the farm
er’s point of view, for the soil is a light
drift—too light for wheat—and the cli
mate a winter modified by a season of
summer weather too short for Indian
corn to ripen. Hay, oats and potatoes
yield the farmer a fair return, but tho
climate is so rigorous that tho securing
of shelter and fuel calls for so large an
amount of energy that little is left to do
voto to cultivation. It is a proof of this
that a very inconsiderable fraction of the
population attempts to subsist by farm
ing, although the freight from Chicago
is added to tho price of all the staple ar
ticles of production—hay, for instance,
being from S2O to $25 a ton, and
milk 10 cents a quart. Curiously enough
strawberries and currants reach a per
fection unknown in more hospitable
latitudes, a Marquette strawberry re
sembling in size a Seckel pear ; aad in
flavor a wild strawberry. This is owing,
no doubt, to the fact that in northern
latitudes—Marquette is about as far
north as Quebec —the few summer days
have from eighteen to twenty hours of
sunlight and after-glow, and vegetable
growth is virtually uninterrupted by
darkness. Light, the botanists tell us,
bears the same relation to aroma that
heat does to sweetness. Such strawber
ries as those must be seen to be appre
ciated, and must bo visited to be seen,
for they are too large and too delicate
to bear travel themselves.
I have spoken of the climate as a
•winter modified by a short summer.
The July and August weather I can
vouch for as delightful. Even when the
sun is hottest you feel instinctively that
there is no prostrating power in it, and
the nights are invariably cool. In July
the mean daily range was 19 deg., and
the monthly range 50 deg., the lowest
recorded temperature being 38 deg.
Near the lake the presence of so large a
body of water, which at Marquette never
falls below 52 deg., and on the extreme
northern end of the peninsula never
below 48 deg., acts an equalizer, and
restricts the range within comparatively
narrow limits. This low temperature
of the lake water, which is higher than
that of any of the streams entering it,
precludes the idea of bathing. Asa
consequence few of the lake sailors can
swim, and it would be of little avail to
them as a means of saving life if they
could, for the most robust man if he
falls into Lake Superior chills and dies
in a few moments. The numerous trout
streams in tlie woods are of an icy cold
ness. The snow, which falls to a depth
of six or seven feet, melts and sinks into
the sandy ground, to reappear from
deep-seated springs with a temperature
of 39 deg., which is exactly equal to the
average annual temperature of the place.
The thick forests prevent the sun from
warming the ground or the water. And
finally the lake is so deep—its bed reach
ing several hundred feet below the level
of the sea—that the summer air has lit
tle effect on it before it is again cov
ered with ice. There is no other place
on the globe where so large a body of
cold fresh water lies at an elevation of
six hundred feet above the sea. The
air in contact with this deep, chilly
water seems to acquire a peculiar vivify
ing and refreshing quality, quite impos
sible to describe, but very easy to ap
preciate. Here must be the great sum
mer sanitarium or cooling-off place for
Chicago and Milwaukee.— F. Johnson ,
Jr., in Harper's Magazine.
THAT IS THE QUESTION.
Many a bustling, successful business
man would delight in living simply in
some quiet country village on one-tenth
the money he now spends, and without
a hundredth part of the worry that is
now shortening his life and making him
the dullest company at home. But what
would his wife say? Many a plain,
quiet little woman is utterly tired of the
ceaseless labor of trying to make as ef.
fective an impression as her richer and
handsomer acquaintances. But what
would her husband say ?—New York
Herald.
Matthew Arnold says: “Sanity—
that is the great virtue of the ancient
literature; the want of that is the great
defect of the modern, in spite of all its
variety and power. It is impossible tq
reft d carefully the great ancients with
out losing something of our caprice and
eccentricity, and to emulate them we
must at least read them.”
VENTILATING RAILWAY CARS .
Everybody who has traveled by raij
in winter has suffered from the horrible
ventilation, or rather the want of venti
lation of, the ordinary passenger car.
It is to all a cause of great annoyance
and suffering, and to many of serious
illness, if not permanent ill health. A
gentleman of this city, who travels a
good deal, has hit upon an effectual
means of relief from the evil. He states
it as follows : '
“When I find the air in the car be
coming oppressive, I listen for the loco
motive to give the signal of our ap
proach to a station. As soon as I hear
tho whistle, I take my station at the
rear end of the car, and watch for the
conductor or brakeman to make his ap
pearance, as I know he will presently
do, at the other door in the front end.
As he opens the front door, I open the
back door. The motion of the train in
stantly causes the car to be flushed and
swept by a flood of outer air. In five or
ten seconds—just while the doors are
casually open—all the foul air is ex
pelled, and the car is filled with pure>
cool, fresh air from without. When the
conductor shuts his door, I shut mine.
H somebody squalls out for the door to
be shut, I promptly beg pardon and
shut it. Meantime the business has
been done, and all are relieved and bene
fited. I repeat the trick at every sta
tion or two, or as often as is
and nobody so far as I know has ever
suspected the design.” It works like a
; charm, and I have escaped, in this way,
many a cold and sore throat, and many
hours of half suffocation and suffering.

THE AGE OF MIRACLES.
“ Do you believe in miracles," Alonzo?
Well, we should preach. When a man
can sit down in a N.w York restaurant
and have brook trout, spring chicken,
venison steak and reed bird seryed oh
the same old soup bone, we are ready to
take in any miracle you over saw in
print. Believe in miracles ? When the
American farmer can put a quart of
strawberries in a box that won’t hold a
pint of sand; when almost any coal
dealer can make 1,700 weigh a ton;
when a common-looking clerk can
measure a whole yard at one sweep of a
thirty-three inch stick; when a ten
pound block of ice looks small alongside
a four-ounce hailstone; when any bar
keeper turns whisky into water before he
opens up in the morning; when you can
put out a fire with illuminating oil;
when you can find a miraculous draught
of fishes in the sky-blue milk; when a
commit! oe of women at a church fair can
make a barrel of soup with one cove
oyster; when—do we believe m mir-
doubting Alonzo ? It is an age of
miracles. The world is full of miracles,
or overrun with rascals. You may ac
cept either interpretation. —Hawkey e.
JIR OTHERHOOD.
“ There, boy, is a big penny for you;
now go home and say your prayers like
a Christian,” said the plethoric to the
lean on the avenue.
“ And what prayer shall I say? ’ asked
little lean.
“ Say * Our Father which art in heav
en,' 1 " replied plethoric.
“And is He our father—yours and
mine too ? ”
“Most assuredly.”
“ Then are you my big brother ? ”
“ Of course I am.”
Then little man looked up and asked
the question which even religion can’t
compel any man to answer : “ Aren’t
you ashamed of yourself to offer your
poor little brother a penny when you
have plenty, and you know he is ’most
starved to death ? ”
“How ARE you getting along ?” asked
a widow of her late husband, who ap
peared to her at midnight as a ghost.
Ghost—“ Very well, indeed; much bet

—“ Then you are in heaven ?” Ghost—
“Oh! no.” _

To come before the

ulants, seems to many,

absurdity; such is the

periment that it would
do all we claim for it.
Brown’s Iron Bitters,
a complete non-alcoholic
tonic, \vlll not only remove
all the nervous disorders and
weakness remaining after ex
cessive indulgence caused by
liquor , but will absolutely
kill that desire for artificial
