Seasonable Recipes.

VEAL CoLLops.-This dish can be
made of any lean, firm portions of veal.
Cut the pieces about the size of large
oyster. Season with pepper, salt and a
little mace, rubbing some over each
piece. Dip them in beaten egg, then
in bread or cracker crumbs; drop in hot
fat and fry to light brown. They
look and taste like fried oysters when
properly done, and make nice tea dish.
VEGETABLE SALAD.-This is an ex.
cellent method of using up any remains
of cold vegetables which may be left
over from meal. Slice or mince the
vegetables according as they require,
season them we'll with salt and pepper,
and add oil and vinegar in the proper
ton of two tablespoonful of the former
to one of the latter. Prepare the salad
few hours before it is wanted, to allow
time for the vegetables to become in
pregnated with the sauce. In order to
effect change, little cold meat or
fish of any kind may be added-fnely
minced, of course. Hard boiled eggs
and boiled beet root may also be intro
duced into the salad with advantage.

Notes on the Care of Strawberry Plants.

A Connecticut grower of fruits, G. s..
Butler by name, claims that the best fer
tilizer for strawberries is good old barn
yard manure, which may be helped out
by an application of fine ground bone
and muriate of potash. A caution is
given against nitrate of soda for straw
berry plants. According to Mr.. Butler
the best time to pick is from A p. M.
until dark; berries picked at that time
keep longer than if picked either with
the dew on or while hot. Always send
berries to market in neat packages, with
good clean white baskets.

FLUCTUATIONS OF 1875.

The fluctuations in the current value
of the nations promises to pay" as eff
fected by the ebbing and flowing of the
tide of war from 1861 to 1865 is shown
by the following statistical statement
which the National Tribune uses as an
argument to prove the claims of the
soldiers of the war for generous consid-
Grafton at the hands of congress in the
matter of pension legislation:
''The fluctuations of the greenback
dollar through the war shows very
clearly how the value of all the bonds,
the money, and even of the property of
the country rested directly on the I'M
conquerable hearts of those who were
bearing the burden of the battle The
first depreciation of the greenDack dol
lar appears after the disasters at Bull
Run and Balls Bluff, when it sank to 81
cents in gold. The glorious victory at
Fort Donelson, and the repulse of the
rebel army on the sanguinary field Of
Shiloh, sent it up to 9S.5 cents. The re-
verses on the Peninsula and at the Sec
ond Bull Run sent it down to S4.4. in
spite of the modified successes at
Antietam and Perryville, it sank in
October to IT'S The bloody defeat at
Fredericksburg tumbled it down to 1878.
1t arose again with the victory
at Stone River, and as we made
ready to overwhelm the rebel army at
/ Charlottesville, so that it reached 67.2
cents before the battle was fought
Vicksburg and Gettysburg sent it up to
| 1915, but Chickamauga and the futile
operations around Mine Run depressed
| it to 662, in spite of the victories at
Chattanooga and Knoxville. 1t stead
lily fell during the long winter of mac
ton, and when Grant and Sherman be-
gan their campaigns, Msy 3rd, 1864, it
| was worth but 56.7 cents. The bloody
I but apparently indecisive fighting OF
that summer steadily hammered it
down until it reached it's lowest point
1871 cents-in July, when Hunter had
| been driven out of the Shenandoah
valley, Early had menaced Washington.
and it seemed that Grant had been
brought to standstill before Richmond,
| and Sherman before Atlanta. The cap
| ture of the lattep place sent it up to AZ. 3
cents that is. the value of every paper
| dollar and every bond was increased
tnlly % per cent by that victory. The
money lenders were made richer by it
| than the entire amount which has since
| been paid out for pensions. The year
| 1865 opened with the greenback worth
| 1853, but Sherman's march to the sea
sent it up ia 57.5, and the surrender of
Lee and Johnston doomed it to 1871.

THAT OHIO FIGHT.

That man Bookwalter is liable to make
it hot for that fellow Brice who is claim
ing the Ohio senatorship. Brice has
heaps of money. but Bookwalter has
heaps and heaps, and as everybody seems
to concede that The Ohio senatorial fight
has been reduced to one of dollars and
cents in the off years, Pocketbook Wal
ter may come under the wire a neck or
so ahead. At the time of his nomina-
ton for governor of Ohio in 1881 there
were excursion trains to the Columbus
convention on two of the railroads, and
everybody who wore Bookwalter badge
rode free. In the convention the CALLER
les and aisles were packed with Book
walter men. When the nominating
speeches were made, the orator who pre-
scented Mr.. Bookwalter had way of
ending each of his periods with the SEN
tence: "And that man is John w.
Bookwalter." Each time the name was
mentioned the roof was raised. The
hosts of boomers and 'stilt-hunters'
whom Mr.. Bookwalter kept employed
during the campaign earned him the
name of "Pocketbook Walter" Never
theless Mr.. Bookwalter is man of
brains, who would strengthen his party
in the senate as much as any man who
has been named

AMERICAS COLUMBUS.

All the world is ringing with the praise
of Stanley. The question is, where shall
We place him? Is he a mere meteor,
flashing along his track through the
dark continent" with light soon to be
extinguished and forgotten? Or is he
Columbus redivivus opening up to us, if
not a new world. at least world SO old
that mankind had come to ignore its
very existence? We are inclined to the
latter view. 1t seems to us that all
things point to future for Africa of
vital interest and Importance to every
portion of the civilized world. England,
France, Italy, Germany-even little
Portugal-even colossal Russia-have
fixed their eyes upon this hoary old con-
tinent that was an enigma to Herodotus
and to Strabo and has remained mys-
terry to countless generations of men.
And now, melted by the revelations of
explorers, Europeans have come to look
upon Africa as in some sort an inherit
ance, to one portion of which one nation
has voted itself heir, while another has
marked out for itself slice from anoth-
er portion of the map.

AN EARLY SHOW OF HAND.

The reported raising of the storage
rates after the first of January at the
grain elevators that have recently passed
into the hands of English syndicates
seem to cause some alarm on the grain
markets lest it should have the effect to
further depress the prices of grain. Such
action may be taken for an excuse by
the grain gamblers to thus squeeze the
market, but it can have that effect, it at
all, only for a comparatively short time.
The elevator property purchased by
English capitalists was understood to be
good paying Investments at the rate of
charges maintained at that time, and if
they undertake to increase the profits it
will undoubtedly have the effect of call
ing the American capital that has just
been liberated by the SAID purchase back
into new elevators, and the competition
thus increased in the elevators cannot
fail to bring the rates of storage down
again to present figures, if not lower
Competition in any line of business de-
ponds largely upon the extent of profit
there is in it, and the greedy Englishers
will find that they cannot obtain control
of an important interest in this country
and maintain it as monopoly to the
public injury. So that the apprehended
harm to the grain interests from the
proposed coup mentioned can only be
temporary at most

from each tree would give per cent
upon this capitalized value. It is . poor
tree that will not average this, even al
lowing for off years, and off years are
not so frequent as to alternate regularly
with the bearing ones. A healthy tree,
properly cared for, will give crop two
years out of three that will pay for har-
vesting. Occasionally tree will give
crop that will pay the interest for many
years in one.
An Early Richmond cherry tree paid
me last year So, besides the fruit used at
home, which was sufficient to pay the
entire cost of gathering. From sweet
cherry tree this year sold three and
one-half bushels at 81 per bushel.
Two Chickasaw plum trees, growing
so close together that their branches IN
tertwine as if they were one tree, the
two covering a space of about 800 square
feet, frequently pay SO in a season,
which would be at rate OF over $ooo
per acre. A pear tree near by yields ten
bushels in a good season, and :! per
bushel is not an unusual price. Three
early apple trees this season gave over
fifty bushels, which sold at from 81
cents to $1.20 per bushsl. The trees
were SO very full that had to commence
picking while yet very green, to save the
limbs from breaking. Yet the same
trees last year gave crop that paid
more than 6 per cent upon value OF sou

SOIL OF THE SOUTHWEST.

From the Cimarron Echo.
The soil of the uplands, which forms
nearly nlne-tenths of the area OF south
western Kansas country, is sandy loam,
rich in silicates and phosphates, quick,
warm and friable. There is no easier
soil to cultivate on the American CONT
nent. The bottom, or river lands, vary
in width, forming strip principally on
the moth bank of the Arkansas river.
Here the soil is of somewhat lighter
character, rich in alluvial deposits, and
of phenomenal fertility. The depth of
the soil on the uplands is from eighteen
inches to four feet, and In the valleys
from two to six feet. Underlying the
whole of this portion of the state is a
sub-soil of porus clay, which readily
drains the surface soil of surplus water
and holds it in reserve for future use; a
provision of nature having much to do
with the prolific growth OF vegetable life
in southwestern Kansas. The secretary
of the Kansas state board Of agriculture
says in his biennial report: ''The debat-
able ground Of ten years ago Is now pro-
ducIng crops that have placed Kansas
among the first three great agricultural
states OF the union, and the soil that ten
wears ago was believed to the satisfaction
of many to be unfit for diversified farm
ing. is now producing average yields that
largely exceed the yields of any other
portion of the country"
This marvellous country is yet but in
the infancy of it's development. The
people who own and till its broad acres
are hardly CONSCIOUS of the immense
treasure house of which their holdings
are apart, and they do not yet realize
that greater tidings await them, and
theirs, than was ever dreamed of In the
philosophy of their every day lives.

NO DANGER OF HAVING TOO MUCH.

Because corn is worth only Is cents a
bushel with only one-fifth of the state in
cultivation, the st. Joe News concludes
that if the cultivated area were increased
to three-fifths the price of corn would be
reduced proportionately, or to cents a
bushel. But such conclusion could
only be based upon the supposition
that the increase of cultivated
land and its product should be accom-
plished without corresponding increase
in population, which could not be. The
''home market idea unquestionably af-
fords the solution for the present de-
pressed condition of the market for
home products, and this constitutes one
of the strongest arguments in favor OF
the current immigration movement in
this state. 1t costs too much to haul our
supplies to the consumers east; let's
bring the latter-as many OF them as we
can-out to the surplus, and if the army
of producers is augmented thereby, the
number of consumers who will come
with the tide and engage in other indus
trial pursuits will increase the army of
consumers in corresponding and even
greater ratio. There is no danger of
OVERRIDING either proposition.

FIRE DAMP IN THE STOMACH.

The strange case of William jackson,
whose breath was inflamabIe, excited a
great deal of interest in medical and
scientific circles two years ago, says let
ter to the st. Louis Globe Democrat At
that time Mr.. jackson was a photo
grapher in Fayetteville. n. y. More
recently he has been engaged in the
same business at Middlebury, Vt. One
evening at 10 o'clock he lighted lamp
with a match. Then with breath of
air. sought to ''blow out the match" In
stantly his breath took fire with slight
explosion. Jackson gasped with fright,
and the flame of the combustible air en-
tered his mouth and blistered his tom
que. His lips and face suffered, and his
mustache, eyebrows, and the hair above
his eyebrows were singed TO a marked
degree The man was at first badly
frightened, and his wife, who was g
witness of the occurrence, screamed
with alarmed.
This may sound incredible. so much SO
as to be set down by the average reader
as a freak of the Imagination of the one
that wrote the statement. But Jack.
sons case Is not the only one of the sort
as it was certainly not the first one.
Several years ago, probably as far bach
as the sixties, a citizen of western Ken,
lucky who was hard drinker. essayed
to blow out candle and his breath ie
nited and came near proving fatal K
him. The incident and narrow escaps
caused complete reformation in the
mans habits, and he became Judge of 8
district court and afterwards represented
the district in the congress of the Unites
States for two terms. He died two

THAT BRAZILIAN REPUBLIC.

A new government which establishes
at once censorship of the press and of
Geographic dispatches, which appoints
provincial governors without an appeal
for the approval of the people governed;
which begins its administration by SELL
ing to business concerns exclusing rights
calculated TO ruin thesr competitors, and
which refuses to submit its actions to
popular vote-whether such govern
ment is a republic worthy of hearty rec
ognition by the United States, or one
which should be treated with discreet
clrcumspection, is question which the
senate seems to look upon as worthy of
serious consideration. President Harri-
son probably overlooked some of these
matters when in his message he went on
TO say that ''our minister has been in
structed to sustain cordial relations with
the new government"
Senator Sherman, Senator ingalls,. SEN
ator Evarts and Senator Hawley united
ia protesting against precipitate recogni-
ton of the new government. Senator
Hawley made the very clear objection
that the revolutionists shave ignored the
fundamental principle of a republic, the
consent of the governed Small minds
are very likely to ignore this essential
point. To certain well-meaning but un-
thinking mex, a government is a repub-
lie worthy of our alliance as soon as 1t
has driven hereditary rulers out of the
country. Thoughtful students of his
tory know that there may be tyrants who
are not kings, and enemies of popular
government who call themselves repub
lcans.

NEEDS WATCHING.
LEoTI, Kan. Dec. %, 1889.

a
Dear Colonel:
Give US ''Some More Rebellion" like the
editorial in EAGLE of December Goth. 1t is
a good change of diet from resubmission
racket"
Yours sincerely,
A METHODIST PREACHER.
We are astonnded at the temerity of a
preacher who would thus publicly evince
a sympathy for such incendiary senti-
ments as were contained in that editorial,
and in comparison with which our most
vehement articles on resubmission
were but tactical to tartar emetic.
Resubmission is but an innocent, legal
and constitutional method of ascertaining
the will of the people. We are afraid
that our Methodist brother is aft for
treason and spoils, but so long as he en-
dorses one side of the EAGLE and doesn't
initiate that Hutchinson preacher by
falling to praying for US, he may be per-
mitted to continue in his work; still, he
will bear little watching. TO believe
is dangerous, to be unbelieving is equally
so: the truth. therefore, should be dill
gently sought after, lest that a foolish
opinion should lead you to pronounce an
unsound Judgment.

is worth more than all philosophical dis
QUESTIONS of all the non-business theor-
| lists On earth.
The business man can see, the theorist
supposes. One deals with live, human,
common clay; the other has an lmagin-
airy man in his mind and would mould
all men to it. One accepts the man as
God turned him out; the other would, re-
form him, if he has to kill him to do 1t.
One believes in man as he Is; the other
as he should be.
We are for the opinion of the business
| men as to what is best as against all
theorists. Practical things wash, theories
do some times, not always. We want
to get out of debt, and the general senti-
| ment is that "high license" Is the most
speedy and practicable road.
We have tried prohibition nine years
and have no reason to believe that it in
any wise tended to advance our worldly
prosperity, nor do we know that it did
not" If resubmission lifts US out of the
present swamp of increasing difficulties
we shall believe in it, if it don't we can
go back to prohibition.
We freely confess and frankly OWE
that if the same degree of prosperity
will flow from the one, as the other. We
are in favor of prohibition, but our con-
dition at present demands change and
any change must be better instead OF
worse. we are for a change-change in
anything.
Sleep!
Depression hath murdered,
Sleep.
We would sleep once more.
We want business to improve, then
we can sleep.
The poet hath said;
Objected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their
secrets"
The people of Kansas can verify this
q uotation in the last year.
If resubmission can assuage the griefs
of the last year, then come resubmission.
We need something.
What is IT.
The people, the business interests,
seem to tend toward the elimination of
the ecclesiastical elements from common
politics. 1t does not seem to have bet
tered the political horizon, and has de-
based some of the eclesiastics from a
high position to plane that Is on level
with ''pot house polltici ans' and the adj
mixture of hypocrisy with practical po-
Iitical methods has sickened the business
element of Kansas and it has vomited
and the general tone of business seems
better. CIPHER.
