EXECUTION or REL.

Riel the hero or leader of two rebellions
against the English government in Mani
toba. one in 1859 and one in 1855 is dead,
having been hanged at Regina, Northwest
Territory, on the morning of the 10th. 1t
was not until within a day or two of the
execution either Riel or the local authori-
ties expected the execution to take place
The prisoner claimed that some nterposi-
ton from above would finally save him
All day Sunday Riel was very uneasy.
feeling that his fate was sealed. Father
Andre remained with him most of the day,
seeking to prepare RielS mind for the great
change which he was convinced was close
at hand. 1t was not until the special train
arrived with the warrant that it was actu-
ally known the execution would take place
this morning, and Sheriff Chapleau, in the
presence of several newspaper correspond
ents, conveyed the intelligence to the
doomed man in his cell, and after
the first shock naturally given
by the receipt of the actual news
that he was to hang in the morning, Riel
soon appeared calm and was much more
cheerful than he had been for some time.
It seemed relief TO his mind to know that
suspense was away, to know that in few
hours he would be out of his troubles and

should, perhaps, be mentioned in this
category, for unfortunately it has en-
trely superseded the broiler in many
homes, and with the exception of the
teakettle, is the most conspicuous occu-
pant of the kitchen range.
Thus Of reason OF the effects on
mind and body produced by the vi
ands therein cooked, it may almost be
said that the cook sways the real
sceptre of power as she handles the
fryinr-pan. 1t is not a poetic emblem
of pow r. OF course these remarks are
not int, nied to recall certain belliger-
ent bridgets of whom some OF us have
read and who made the frying-pan n
weapon of offence in starting intruders
from the sacred precincts of their de-
partments. The aim in view is to inn
press upon all the greatness
of the interests that centre
at the kitchen range. Departments Of
state are controlled in great measure
by the culinary department. Can we
overestimate, then, the Importance Of
good cooking, seeing the happy results
that flow in its train, and on the con
trary the sad results that spring from a
lack of it? Much of the sadness, bad
ness and madness of humanity may be
attributed to bad cooking, Food poor
~ cooked makes the blood impure,
and thus leads to sickness of body.
Again, impure blood is not without
evil effect upon the propensities of hui
man nature, while many a brain has
given way from want of nourishment
which well-prepared and well-digested
food would have afforded.
Broiled Mushrooms-Choose large,
fine ones. Peel and remove the stems;
place them bottom upwards on the
gridiron; Till them with butter in which
you have kneaded chopped parsley;
salt and pepper moment before you
serve them.
Hazlenut Butter Pound some ripe
hazlenuts with fresh butter Mould il
into little forms and serve.
The best way to heat Cold Meats
Cover them with buttered paper, put
them on the spit until they warm
through. They will be as tender as
the first day. If the cold meats are in
small pieces, cover them with butterd
paper and broil them on the gridiron;
sprinkle them with finely chopped
herbs.
Baked Pumpkin. Choose fine, rich
pumpkins; seed, pare, quarter and cut
in slices half an inch thick; arrange in
a wide, shallow baking-pan with little
water, two slices deep, and bake very
slowly until dry aud tender; then
butter each strip on both sides and eat
with bread and butter.

Apple Trees.

A. G. Hammond, secretary of the III
inois Horticultural Society, has issued
a report on the condition of fruit trees
in the state. He SAYS 56 per cent. of
the apple trees in northern Illinois are
dead or dying. and that Is per cent. Of
the pear trees and "a per cent. of the
cherry trees are in the same condition.
In central Illinois the following are the
percentages of dead and dying trees:
Apples, 10; pears, 60; peach, 81; cherry,
40. In southern Illinois Is per cent, of
the apple trees, IS of the pear, As of the
peach, q of the cherry trees are dead
or dying.
The cause of the death of fruit trees
in the northern portion is attributed to
extreme cold, insects, neglect, pasturing
orchards, and lack of adoption OF the
trees to the soil and climate. The
cause of death in other parts of the
state is attributed to sudden changes of
temperature want of draining and
blue grass sod.
The apple trees that are in the best
condition in all parts of the state are
the Red Astrachan, Maiden Blush and
Willow Twig. The Ben Davis, that has
long been recommended for northern
and central Illinois, and largely plant
ed of late years. is generally killed.
Mr.. Hammond does not take a dis
couraging view of the situation, but
thinks the horticulturist should con-
tinue to plant and experiment until it
is known what and how to plant TO in
sure permanent crops of fruit, and thus
an apparent disaster may prove bless
ing to observation-disclosures RetteW.

The Grant Monument Grounds Isolated

The Grant Monument Grounds Isolated
The park commissioners have form
ally set apart portion OF Riverside
park for Gen. Grants tomb. The site
chosen is at the northern end of the
Riverside drive proper and at the
south end Of the terminal loop. The
plot is $50 feet long, and at the broad
est part 25O feet across. The tempo
rary vault where the general body now
rests is about $50 feet from the north
ern boundary of the plot, and at its
widest part. The appropriateness OF
setting apart this particular spot Is
thus set forth by the committee:
The general plan of the Riverside
drive up to this turn is for the most
part quite regular and on a large
scale, but a sudden break occurs just
at this point. One branch of the drive
takes a westerly direction and one a
northerly, while the walk system alters
from a straight to a winding course.
There is consequently every opportu-
nity to emphasize still further an already
strongly marked variation IN the ar
tistic motive of the plan, and we there
fore feel justified in suggesting at the
close of this report that your depart
ment take advantage of the evidently
undetermined state Of the grounds IN
this vicinity and consider this import
ant monument as the keystone for such
further improvements as in your ludg-
ment ought to be made in the neigh
hOrh0od in thp future =
This action is the most important
that has been taken in this matter
since the decision selecting the River
side was made.
