German Cooking,

German cooking averages we'll, says
Eugene Field. 1t is essentially heroic.
The German viands appear to be COM
pounded not for the purpose OF ravish'
ing the eye nor for the purpose of en-.
chanting the olfactories; they are
made simply for the stomach. Who
but a German would have invented
the savory thing known as the onion
tart? Prlthee. do not rccoil-this is
really u most delectable Wand. You
make 1t in this wise: The pastry must
be exceedingly ''short" and light;
spreading this crust over the baking
tin or dish. you cover it with very thin
slices OF raw onions, plenllfully
sprinkling these latter with pepper
and salt Then baking tho whole in u
hot oven you shall. find that the onions
are as soon done ls the pastry, and
this fragrant deliclcy should be eaten
as 1t comes from tho oven. further

onion served in any other way arc
reconciled TO that homoly, modest
and faithful fruit when it comes 10

POEMS VERSUS PEANUTS.

And peanuts every Monday;
He writes from early morn till eve,
Except, of course, on Sunday.
He sings OF sweet meas long drawn out,
OF hopes cut through the middle.
And once he tried to wenve in rhyme
The hoary Sphinxs riddle
He's very gay, then taclturu,
And scatbingly snrlonic

THE YEAR In FLOUR.
Speculation Pays Better Than Lee
ultimate Trade.

F. j. Clarke, local editor of the North
western Miller, makes some interesting
comment on the flour trade of the year
in the holiday number of the Miller.
The following is an extract OF his
article:
Minneapolis millers, as a whole, did
a much more satisfactory business dur
ing the crop year ending Aug. 81 last
than the year before, AMI the same
statement is equally applicable to North
western flour makers outside of this
city. There was much less of the specu-
latlve element entering into the Situa-
ton, but this policy paid the best last
season. In other words, the business
conducted npon strictly legitimate
basis melted the smallest profits. How
ever, there were probably few local
firms that did not realize moderate
returns on their investment. The best
part of the year doubtless was from
Aug. to the middle of December. AS
to the volume of flour manufactured,
the crop year and the fifteen months
ended Nov. 80 make very favorable
showing. On the crop year, ending
Aug. 81, the output was 1.041, Zoo bar
rels greater than the year before. and
showed deficiency of only 472, 600 bar
relS as compared with ISS7-S. Since
starting in on the new crop the mills
have run strongly, and for the three
months ending Nov. so they eclipsed all
former records. For this quarter the
-four production was nearly 100000 bar
relS ahead of the same period for two
years back. For the fifteen months
ending Nov. 80 the output was 1873 900
barrels in excess of the corresponding
period of 1859, and it came within
1S1 600 barrels of being as large as for
the same time in 1SS7-8. The -four ex-
ports of the crop year were much i'm
proved over those of the year before,
and the per cent Of the output dis
posed of in this quarter compared very
favorably with that in the crop year
1875.
Then follow the receipts and ship
ments of wheat. For the eleven months
ending Nov. 80 the wheat receipts at
Minneapolis were So. ia, TO bushels, and
at the same rate as was shown by the
first week in December 1t is estimated
they will reach 100000 or 45, GOO, 900
bushels for the year 1890. This would
be 2.500.000 bushels in excess of the
amount received for 1889.
The elevators, all but one, made
money. 1t was the exception where 8
per cent was not made. The total ele-
vator capacity of Minneapolis is now
16,S07,000 bushels, as against 16, 49,, 900
bushels last year.
The cooper shops made $4,000 more
barrels during the crop year than the
year just preceding.

GOODRICH "A Ks ISDULGENCE.
What He Has to Say About the
COmDIajnts of the PubIi(.

What He Has to Say About the
Complaints of the Public.
Ever sence the Washington avenue
electric line was established COM
plants have been frequent of the
management of the street railway
lines. All causes have been at the
bottom of them. The transfer syste m
has been as productive of kicks as any
other one Cause. Another cause is
that many rJutes have been changed
and that when one takes a car he
may get to his desired destination
and he may not. General Manager
Goodrich was yesterday called upon for
his side of the case and he gave 1T. He
said that they had had all they could do
to get the lines to running at all, and
the public should remember that the
present arrangements are nOL perman-
ent. 1t was wel-KnOWn fact that the
large cars and speedy motors had not
arrived yet, and that matters We're as
yet only in all emIryO stale. Part OF
the tracks were still narrow gauge, SO
that the Whole route of any one line
could not be followed out completely.
in the end, Mr.. Goodrich stated, every
line of cars in tue city would pass one
of the points where the transfer con-
ductOrS now were stationed. Another
arrangement that is not generally I'M
derStOOd is that in time what Mr.
Goodrich called the ''loop'' would
be put in use. This is the track
laid down First avenue south to
the depot, thence to Hennepin ave-
nue. and back to Washington. When
this is completed there will be no using
of turn tables. The Sixth street and ali
other lines running down Hennapin will
turn by the depot, running around she
loop and back to Hennepin by way of
Washington avenue. The First avenue
lines VIII run in Tile same manner, only
in the opposite direction. returning to
the First avenue track by way OF " ash
ington avenue. When this full system
is completed there will be ample accom-
mediation for transfers, as all lines will
pass the points where the agents are
stationed. Then transfers Will be given
TO any point in the city, good on all
lines, and as far on the interurban line
as Smelling avenue, where another fare
must be paid into st. Paul. Transfers
are intended to be given to cover all this
territory at present, but passengers
must put up with little inconvenience
until the full system is finally COM
pleted. Then the company promises
that there will be no cause for conf
pIaint.
