The jokes were nearly all new. and on several occasions the names of Houghton society gentlemen were brought in with K- effect. Tbe rendition of 'Tonkin Colored Coons" by Pickaninny Pansy was beautifully rend ered and captivated the audience. Tbe little girl has a sweet yoice and her artic ulation is exceptionally good for one so young. "Coal Black Lady," "Swell Coons" and Egyptian Cymbal Dance were well received and rapturously applauded. Tbe song by Manny Johyson, in the old Kentacky horns scene, was pleasing in tbe extreme and the voice that issued from tbe dusky throat of old Nanny was marvelous, so sweet were the strains. it captured the audience, who applauded until tbe encore was responded to. Throughout the performance Topsy Primrose and Dinah West were the lav orites. Taking all in all the performance was a very creditable one and was far ahead of the Iron Minstrels of Ishpeming who played here a few weeks ago. To night the company play at Calumet and we can recommend the company to tbe people of that place as being a good one and worthy of their patronage. Tbe v performance was the most novel given 1 here for some, and was a pleasing relief to tbe general run of minstrel shows. The wrestling match which will take place at the Armory opera boose tonight will be for blood, as considerable feeling exists among tbe opponents. Ia conse quence of this fact there 1b no chance for the old cry of "fake." as both men will wrestle for all there is in them. Tbe con testants Ilogan and Gilbert wrestled last winter at Marauette. in which match Gilbert was defeated, but claimed he was treated unfairly bv Ilogan and the referee andjwas not satisfied that Ilogan was the better man. Since this match Gilbert has been anxious to get another match with Ilogan and has finally suc ceeded. Gilbert threatens to "heave hm opponent all oyer the ring tonight and a red-hot match ia looked forward to by tbe sporting fraternity. The match will called early tonight so as to be sure it will be over before 12 o'clock. Fiftycents admission will be charged to all part of the hall. uiuuweaiu, wis. frank was a ereat lavonte here and his manv friends will miss him, bat rejoice at his good fortune. ine dining car on the D..S.S. & A. railroad was taken through to Calumet for the first time last evening.

A gang of men is at work repairing tbe damage done to the derricks by the breaking of a cable at the Mineral Hangs coal dock, and it is expected they will be in readiness to use in unloading tbe next vessel to make this dock with a cargo of coal.

FolUwed nia ITypnotlzer About tbe Boom For Three Weeks. Tho following extraordinary history Is told by Mr. Gould and is, says the Lon don Gentlewoman, worth repeating: On a coo Outobor day, while walking In the park, I saw a largo black and orange butterfly apparently dead. I put it In an envolopo carefully and took It homo, laying ll upon the table. Some hours after I heard a sort of scratching sound and found that It came from the envelope, out of which I then took the butterfly, quite revived by tho warm room and looking most beautiful. The question then was how to foed It for I wished to keep it aa a pot and I put somo sirup made of whlto sugar and water in a tiny wtuoor and gontly took tho insoct by the shoulders, first folding bock hlawlnga. Then I took a small nee dle, and pwsalng the head of it vory gontly through the cur lml proboscis slowly un rollod it till tho end foil In tho sirup. After ho had had hla fill I let him go, and ho pollshod hla foro fcot and antenna) and then flow about quite happy. I con tinued to feed him thus fx threo days, and on tho fourth, when I put out my hand to take him, ho flow upon it and fcfc onco began to oat of hia own accord. This went on for about threo weeks, and he bccauio really qulfco a put, flying to mo and settling on my chest, arm or hands, arl if I put him on a tulilo and drew my finger alon j ho would follow It liko n kit ten, not flying, hut iirirchlng nlowly after it, nml then when I left tho tahlo ho would turn hla head aa knowing aa a child or animal. In threo weeks hla bright coloring and gloss grew dull, wrinkloa nppoarud on tho body and wing., ami after oatJng hn was let particular in pluming himself. Then hla iippetlto fnilod and his strength aNo. Tho threo days before hla death ho was constantly in my hnnd, and thcro ho died. Wlilmsiral Espcriiuent. Akhar, one of thn first of tho great mo guls who ruled India, ha been numed tho Aslatlo Charlomnno. lie was a states man and an educator and built a palnro for tho reesption of men who loved learn ing and sought after wtadom. Tho groat mogul's passion for knowledge ia said to have beon shown by a whimsical experi ment ho onco made to doturmlno if it wu true, as bo had hoard, that Hebrew wm the natural language of all who had never been taught any other tonguo. To test this assurtion Akhar causrd a doxon nursing children to be shut up in a costle six leagues from Agra,' his capital city. Each child was reared by a dumb nurse. The porter also was a mute, and be was forbidden, upon pain of doath, to open the gates of the castle. When the children wero 13 years of ago, Akbnr or dered them to be brought before him. Mon learned in Sanskrit, In Arabic, In Persian and In Hebrew were assembled at tho royal palaco to toll what language the children spoke. Akbar, seated on his throne and surrounded by tbeeo linguists, ordered tho children to be brought fn. Each child was addressed, and, to tho sur prise of the asaombly, every one answered by a sign. Hot a child could spcaa a word. They had all lonrnod from their nurses to exprosa themselves by gestures I Youth's Companion. Southern Magazine. "It's passing stTange."

Atlanta Constitution. There are 110 mountains In CoJoiado whose peeks are over 12,000 foot above the ooean level.

Is little or Ne 1 Proof That They Are Transmitted. A group of ladles and gentlemen who had listened to a paper on a rclenco sub ject In a private parlor cornered a person addicted to science to settle a disputed quoction. He did not think acquired traits are ever transmitted. "There are one legged men enough in this country to support several cork leg establishments, yet never has tbe child of a one loggtnl man been born with less than two. Certain characteristics of the parent the child may have. It may be a comical ly exact reproduction. Always, however, It Is tho natural and not tho acquired pe culiarities' of the parent or other ancestor that It shows. Hence Professor Weissman argues that aoqolred qualities or charac teristics are never transmitted. "Tho operations of the laws of horedlty are strange enough. A child may not re semble either parent, but It may be an ex act likonea of a remote ancestor. That has been a! source of scandal at times. A Baltimore1 man, a man of wealth, married a beautiful sowing girl. When a black child was ' born to her, there was trouble. Then it was revealed that her mother was a mulatto! There is an older caw exactly liko It. A Greek marriod a fair slave girl, and when'fhe gave birth to a black child her blood Svas traced back to an African. "There 'are persons who think that If'a man makes himself, soy, a great linguist .is children will be more likely to have tho gift of tongues. They think the chil dren born' to a parent after be bas become dissipated' aro more liable than the chil dren born oarlit-r to Inherit a taste for drink. These things Wolssman donlos. In tbe first case tbe children may have tbe father V aptitudo for languages, but not the stronger because ho used it. In the other casd the children may have the par ent's disposition that led him to drink, but not the stronger because It was In dulged. "Mr. Herbert Fpencer regards tbe ques tion whether any acquired traits are ever Inherited as a great matter, but he bas not made up his opinion yet. He Is not pre pared to combat the now theory. "The. long accepted theory has never been quite saJiKfactory. It Kavee so much unaccounted for. If acquired qualities aro Inherited; tbe world ought to be orowded with greatness. Yet it hi notorious that few great! men leave sons as groat. Al though education is within tbe roach of all and the methods of education are the product of oenturies of experience, Shakes pcares and Mlltons and Napoleons are not common yet.' "On tbo other band, we might expect a steady increase of drunkards if acquired propensities axe transmitted. As a matter of fact, there la much less drunkenness than there was half a century ago, Al though the pressure of modern life and an Irritabk) condition of tho nerves are cal culated to promote diminution. "Tho later doctrine docs not dony the importance of heredity. It does not make It Jess important for tho parent to lead an upright and careful life, since hla children are influenced by bis example, though they do not inherit bis mental and physical ac quisitions as they may his property. If acquired traits ore inherited, it should bo easy to prevo. It has not been proved." Washington Post. tA Verbal Confaaloa. The hall was empty, but the door was not locked, und the citizen from trho coun try walked in. It was late in the after noon when be arrived, and almost dark when a brisk young man camo In, and after a few desultory remarks concerning tho methods of janitors, lit tho gas and began to move tbe piano around. Tbo countryman nrowo and huflled his feet so as to attract) attention. "Did you whJi to soo me?" asked tho young man. "Yes, sir," was tho answer. "That is to say, I think it was you na I wished to see. Uut not never hnvin seen you before, so's to bo sure, I couldn't exnckly say." "Do you wish) join our organization?"
