Scarcely Able to Walk"

How often have we heard that from
people just getting about after Sc
we're illness; how often is it on the
the lips of the weary house-mother at
the close of the day, when it seems as
if every burden of the whole family
had been laid on her shoulders. How
welcOmestO all such is the invitation
of some friend to take ride :" how
the spin through the fresh air brings
color TO the pale cheek, lights up the
dull eye, and renews the strength. If
your friends are in this tired condition,
give them ride, and o1e that has
constant change of pleasant scenes
will be the best. The most charming
scenery in the West is that along the
Mississippi River, from Rock Island
to ST. Paul, and 1.-THE Burlington" is
the line by which to see it, gliding
over. a smooth track in palaces on
wheels. Buy a ticket over this line
for your friend who is scarcely able
to walk" and get your money back in
noting the improvement sure to fol-
low the journey. Any ticket agent of
''The Burlington" or connecting lines,
can attend to this kind of call, or if
you wish to know more about the line,

THE COOKING SCHOOL.

Yesterdays afternoons session was
''for men only" and was given to dis
cussing the care of various farm ami
mails; but the center of attraction for
the afternoon was the cooking school.
The Stern Hall was crowded to it's
utmost capacity with women eager to
listen to Mrs. W. M. Hayes talk on
cooking. The session opened with
an interesting and instructive talk
by Mr.. Somerville on the advant-
ages of small 1fruit on the farm
er's table; and the health and pleasure
it afforded. He believed, he said, that
the farmer and his family should have
the best that earth can produce.
Mrs. Hayes then took up the topic
OF the hour, illustrating what she said
by doing the work described. Cook
ing includes six operations; baking,
boiling, broiling, frying, mixing and
seasoning. Much depends upon the
mixing. A thorough understanding
OF 1T enables one to make, from the
materials commonly in the heavy,
soggy pastry, the light, flakey kind.
we will consider the roasting of
meats this afternoon. First, beef: The
substance in piece of meat is much
like that in the white of an egg. Heat
ing sufficiently makes it impervious to
moisture. Thus cooking first the cut
surface coagulates it and imprisons
the juice. In roasting allow about Is
minutes for each inch in thickness.
There is no modern improvement that
beats the old dripping for roast
ing. Let it get smoking hot and then
press the cut surface of the meat upon
it. This sears it and retains the Juice
within it. 1t sticks at first, but loos-
ems when sufficiently scared. Do not
put water in the pan, do not haste, do
not open the oven, and do not be
afraid of it's burning. Lard must
reach heat of sos degrees before it
can ever cook meat, doughnuts, sc.
DO not season until done. The salt
would tend to draw out the Juice and
harden the meat. You can roast it
more perfectly if the piece is not too
large.
Chicken roasting: Do no sewing in
preparation. If the chicken is to be
kept several days before cooking, it

MANKATO AND HARRINGTON r. R.

About twenty business men, repre-
senting the different towns interested
in the proposed extention of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul road to
Pennington, met at the Board of
Trade room this afternoon at one
o'clock, to consider the matter. The
committee recently appointed by the
Board of Trade for the purpose was
present, and the room was filled with
interested spectators. Speeches were
made favoring the road by many of
those present. A full report of the
proceedings will appear in these COL
umnS next week

From Wednesdays Daily.

The attendance at the Farmers In
stitute to-day was very good, and a
great amount of interest is manifest
ed.
The institute opened at 10 o'clock
this morning with DR.. Dickson the
first speaker, and Horses for Mimi,
the topic:
Mems tastes differ so vastly that
can lay down no general rules; can
only call attention to the points of
kinds of horses. The trotting horse
not the thing for the farmer to raise,
because there are too many monied
men in competition. The coach horse,
to sell at good prices, must be perfect
in development and training. The
farmer hasn't time for this, so the
middle man" gets the lions share of
the profits. Still the farmer does
very well, but he may do better on
the draft horse, because they are
easier to handle and sell. 1t doesn't
follow that, because an animal is i'm
ported, he's any better than Ameri-
can stock. We have thoroughbred
trotting horses better than any on the
face Of the globe, and material for
coach horses likewise.
For draft horses, my favorite breed
is the sound horse. whatever his pedi-
gree, and think we will soon evolve
"a national draft horse of our own.
Farmers make a great mistake in
having SO much care for the selection
of sire and so little in selecting a
dam. They often mate poor, worn
out, crippled 0mare with a splendid
sire, and thus the defects of the dam
may be transmitted through three or
four generations in an exaggerated
form. In this country the colts are
worked two young. They begin at
two years of age, but in England not
till five. Because the work they do
here must be done in a rush ais still
stronger reason for delay. Colts
should be exercised and trained, but
not worked; they cannot possibly do
hard work uninjured. Farmers should
learn the constituents and qualities
of different foods. Corn is a very
poor bone food because it contains
but one per cent. of ash, oats con-
tains three per cent, bran five per
cent, and linseed still more. A colt
should get, in addition to skim milk,
linseed and bran or oats. Skim milk,
with linseed, is just as good as new
milk. Do not feed the linseed whole,
boil to jelly. An experiment re-
Gently made with pigs, showed the
bones OF those fed with bone dust to
be ~ per cent. stronger than the
bones of those fed on corn and water
only. This is hint as to what may
be done in feeding colts. 1t is most
important that draft horses should be
fed for the development of bone.
The question of different methods of
feeding must be largely a matter of
common sense, not rules. Do not
feed whole wheat; it is good, but
worth too much. We can make it
into bread and still save the best part

should be dry picked. This must be
done while the body is still warm-so
far as possible before it stops twich-
ing. Ordinarily it is pleasanter to
scald; using four quarts of boiling
water to one of cold. While doing this
and all other work of the kind use
paper instead of oil cloth on the kitch-
en- table. 1t is cleaner, and saves much
time. For dressing use stale bread
because it crumbleS easier. To crum-
bic 1T, quarter the loaf, and rub the
quarters together. Season with salt
and pepper but not with sage. The
latter Injuries the flavor of the fowl.
With geese use sage, as otherwise the
flesh would be too strong. Better too
little seasoning than too much, for if too
little more may be added when on the
table, but none can be taken out.
Fish: A fish of % lbs. should roast
in 30 or 35 minutes, and should be
served just as soon as ready. If not
it loses much of it's richness. Don't
put skewer through the fieshy part
OF anything you roast; it gives the
juices chance ito run out. Do not
have the oven so hot that the juice
which runs out will burn. 100 degrees
is hot enough for most cooking; if hot
ter the meat will be tough. Unless
the meat is young and tender it is bet
ter Stewed or made into soup or salad.
To broil steak: Remove the bone,
cut into slices three-quarter inch
thick. Use thick griddle, a frying pan
is too thin. Always begin cooking meat
Except sausage) with great heat.
Turn about every ten seconds. After
Drowned on both sides lessen the heat
a little. Don't stand by the stove all
the time to turn the meat; but attend
to the other work and make that the
chorus to everything you do. Don't
cook steak too Mach Cook it just as rare
as you can get the family to eat it,
Much is spoiled by cutting too thin.
Save the bones and scraps to help out
on the gravy. If the gravy is rich
enough without that, the meat has
lost much of it's juice.
In making soup or broth use cold
water, but in cooking meat put it into
boiling water.
ECHOES.
Cooking depends upon principles not
recipes.
l have no sympathy for those who
don't like things" They should
learn>tO like them.
Don't put water or eggs in dressing.
Eggs tend to thicken or tonghen a
mixture.
Always cut at the joint if possible;
then there will be no trouble with
broken bones.

Arlington, who having recovered from
her swoon, was standing gazing in
dazed wonder at the scene.
Coon, lass" he said, kindly.
"Thee'dst better be winning home VII
me-"
Trembling and obedient, the young
girl accompanied him. For a time
neither spoke, then her pent-up emo
tions found vent.
''Oh, Mr.. Bladon," she said, show
can 1 ever find words to thank you for
the noble service you have done me this
day?"
Bladon looked wistfully at the sweet
face.
Would thee mind an old man asking
a question? 'Tain't right, l know, to
put young girl to the blush, but
ASK me what you will, and will
answer you without reserve"
There was no doubling the truth that
shone from those velvet eyes.

''What!''

but not with love which you mean"
(Which one, my pretty?"
There was depth of tenderness in

"And now, lass, speak fearlessly, as
between an old man an young maiden,

Though the crimson blush dyed her
cheek, she never faltered.
Yes, Mr.. Bladon, there is one I love
in the way you mean"

said, but the light in his face showed
the relief he felt.
he held out his horny hand to the girl
and said with some emotion:

bear the sight O. thee; but all that has
passed now; an you'll try to forget the
wrong I've done thee?"

"You see," Bladon went on in contrite
apology, cit was thy name that first
set me against thee"
What, 'Wanda?'"

as wrought bitter wrong to my lads

breathing told the tale of his distress.
Often to this day do the riverside men
tell the story of that wonderful strug-
gle.
1t seemed as though there was no
hope for the brave old fellow-indeed,
not one of the many who, paralyzed
with fear, looked on in shuddering
wonder could for the life of them tell
exactly how it happened, but suddenly,
when Bladon seemed tottering to the
earth, when Damiens' massive form
lowered above him in shrielzing tri-
umph, the old mans hands slipped from
his opponents waist to his knees, and,
with one supreme effort, he lifted the
burly Frcnchman from the earth and
flung him stunned and beaten from him.

Living Upon Locusts.

A correspondent Of the London Daily
Graphic, writing upon the locust plague
in north Africa, says: "In reference to
the diet of st. John the Baptist, who
lived on locusts and wild honey in the
wilderness, there are Sunday-school
teachers who cannot believe that any
one would voluntarily live on such food,
and, therefore, say that the locust
bean,' the fruit of the carab tree, is
meant by the writer's of the new tesla
ment. can only reply that the locust
cricket, the acridum pelerinum, order
orthoptera, variety Saltatoria-the fly
ing. sauterelle of Africa-is sold at a
half penny per pound in the market
place of Biskra (Which is the second
oasis from the north in the Sahara), and
that there it is cooked by boiling with
salt and water, as shrimps are boiled
here. I myself have little doubt that
it is more nutritious than the latter, be
cause in March, when the insect is
gathered and dried, it is as full of al
bumen as an egg"

CHAPTER XIV.
HARRY COMES HOME

Alphonse Damiens' strength was laid
low now. Popular opinion was stronger
than the bonds he held over Squire
Robson, and that worthy, seeing no
way to wriggle out of his dilemma re-
luctantly signed his commitment to the
State lunatic asylum, while even
James Dolman kept discretely in the
background and offered no remon-
STRANGE.
1t was not long before Mrs. Evesham
was established in the Do1man HOUSEHOLD,
tender nurse to the sick man, who con-
trary to expectations, gave rapid signs
of amendment.
And herewith, Mr.. Do1man's line OF
conduct was truly remarkable. He
seemed to have utterly turned his back
on the interests of his quondam patron,
loading him with abuse and even refus-
ing to recognize his insanity as an ex-
cuse for his misconduct. Then, too, he
crawled in obsequious humility before
the blind mans friends, especially the
stout old servitor, who regarded him
much as a mastiff might have looked
upon wandering. cur. The ''gyruls''
grumbled at the additional work in the
household, but when Martha ventured

Thus a week passed. Each day the
physician had more hopeful report O.
his patient. 1t was beyond all doub
that George Arundel woRld weather
the storm, and the silver lining seemed
at last coming to the cloud.
Cheered with these glad tidings
Wanda's spirits revived; but there wa
another reason why the rose SHOULD
come back to her cheek again and tn,
elasticity to her footstep.
"Wanda, DEAR" Mrs. Evesham said t.
her one morning, as she was preparing
for school Have you forgotten tina
Harry is coming to-day?"
Forgotten! Had she for one singh
moment since the first shock of Georg
Arundel's calamity had been assuage
thought of anything else?
"And was thinking" the elder lad
continued, shat he might walk up t
the schoolhouse and fetch you home"

"Why, child" Mrs. Evesham de
| clared, ''you don't appear to be very en-
thusiastic about it! It's a long tim
, since you saw Harry, and I should hav
thought you would have been delighte
at the suggestion"
Then the foolish little thing mus
needs burst out crying and vow with ur
/ necessary ardor that she was dying t
see the dear lad again, whereupon Mrs
