THE REAR FlAGMAN.



Many railroad accidents, il is well

whether the man has gone back the

The export of cottonseed oil to the
Netherlands for adulteration of butter
has rapidly increased. In 1889 we
furnished the Dutch butter makers
with 1,739, 341 gallons. In 1898 it was
8,736, 155 gallons, and during the first
eight months of the present fiscal year
it was 2, 1927, 63l gallons. Our imports
of olive oil from Spain have decreased
very rapidly owing to the increased
use of cottonseed oil on the tables of
the United States--in 1890, 80, ,202
gallons; in 1891, IL, 1852 gallons, and
in 1898, only $40 gallons. A similar
decrease is shown in our imports from
Italy. Our exports of cottonseed oil
to Italy last year were much smaller
than usual, Cor in 1890 we sent 2,197,
81 gallons and took only AS, 964
gallons of olive oil. In 1891 we sent
1.159, 163 gallons of cottonseed oil
and took 326, ,74S gallons of olive oil.

Made Him Raise the Fine.

A man from Troy told this story
the other day TO small company OF
friends about a police justice in q
lutte town in Rensselaer, County: 1t
was the law OF the village that all
the showlnen, itinerants and organ
grinders must get license before
doing business there. One day a fat
policeman. who had been on the
force about SIX months without doing
anything, concluded it was time he
arrested somebody. Soon afterward
along came an Italian with a per.
forming bear.
"Hev yez got yer license?~asked
the policeman.
NO" said the exhibitor Of the
bear.
"'Then yer my priz'ners," said the
policeman, and he triumphantly
marched off with them to the village
station house. he leading the Italian
and the Italian leading the bear.
Arraigned before the police justice
the Italian pleaded guilty and the
Judge otliciously gave him a most
severe and scorching lecture on the
enormity Of his offense, ending by
tlning him $40, the full extent of the
law. The culprit had lot of small
change in his pocket, but being
mostly pennies ana nickels it only
counted up TO 81 %. For few mo-
mentslthe Judge was in quandary.
He didn't want to send the fellow to
Jail, nor yet lose the $40. Presently
bright idea struck him-a happy
solution of the problem, and he said
"Iiere, officer. Take this fellow
out To the market place and let him
perform with his bear until he makes
up the balance; and when be gets it

Amusing Marriage Customs.

some amusing marriage customs. In
small mountain village, between
Kaga and Et hu, the bride comes TO
the bridegroom's gate. and bawls out
out TO him,
"Hailoa! brother; I've come"
The other replies,

The bride then appeals TO him, -
"lou'll never forsake me?"
We'll earn our living together. "
the bridegrOo n answers her.
With these assurances, the bride
comes into the house, followed by a
long procession of well-wishers, old
and young. Cheap muddy sake S
distributed to them, and then they
begin dancing, and are not content
until the floor gives way, when they
clap their hands, crying, "How au-
spicious and take their leave.

Wholesome Cooking.

Cooking is In reality partial di-
gestioE OF food previous TO its intro
duction into the stomach. 1t is en-
ployed by man alone. and distin-
gulshes him from all other creatures
Many articles used as food are en-
tirelY indigestible in raw state.
Some OF the most nourishing OF them
are actually harmful IL eaten un-
cooked.
Cooking. TO be esteemed a science,
must be performed in such "A way as
TO render the raw products Of the
earth as easily d gested as poss ble.
BY virtue OF such preparation the
system Is supplied with the greatest
amount Of nourishment for the least
expenditure OF vita energy in the
various processes OF the digestive
chemistry.
But good cooking must not only
render food digestible; il must make
1t at the same time palatable. Every
physician recognizes the necessity OF
furnishing a cOnyalescing patient
with food that tastes good" In
deed, he will often allow himself TO
be overruled by the wish OF the pa
tient for some particular article of
food in the hope that the fickle ap-
petite may thus be stimulated, and
steady demand for food induced.
Cooking at its best, therefore, S
both scientific and artistic; scientific
when it best serves the purpose OF
economy; artistic when. by virtue OF
an added tdstefulness, it stimulates
the digestive processes TO activity.
1t must always be remem bered that
the stomach is not machine, but an
organ extremely sensitive 10 every
nervous influence, so that the taste
fulneSs OF food is direct aid TO its
digestion.
Those who, from the necessity OF
their occupation, are sedentary and
confined 10 the house, are more sem
s,tive TO the effects Of cooking
wholesome or otherwise than those
whose employment takes them out
doors.
The degree Of health enjoyed by
the family may often be credited TO
the intelligent interest exercised in
the kitchen in favor OF good, whole

say that an accompl shed cook may

her how old she was, and under In

After the marriage she escaped to
her home, and her parents prosecuted
the bridegroom for marrying a minor
without their consent. Judge Cor
don, In charging the jury, denounced
the Camden minister in unmeasured
terms for performing the ceremony
under such circumstances, when a
glance at the bride In her short dress
and with her hair hanging girllshly
down her back ought to have con-
vinced him that she was child. He
declared that If the minister were
within the Jurisdiction OF the Court
there would be two prisoners in the

rendered "a verdict Of guilty against

No Peach YeIlows for California.

Prof. Meehan notes ir~ Meehan's
shipped from certain Eastern nur
series to the South for the past hun
dred years, have never shown Symp-
toms Of yellows, while treas from the
same nurseries, and OF the same
stock, shipped to Michigan and other
States soon show the disease This
is certainly remarkable fact, and
naturally leads Prof. Meehan to in.
fer that there must be something in
the environment that produces the
disease in the North while affording
exemption in more southern climes.
In this connection the Monthly SAYS:
"For this reason, Mr.. Meehan be-
lieves that it is extremely unlikely
that the yellows will ever be seen in
California or Florida. Aside from
this, he has found by absolute ex-
pertinent that the mycelium Of
Agaricus melleus applied to the
roots of peach trees, as with other
trees. will infallibly produce the dis
ease, and the inferance is that, this
fungus is the cause of the disease,
and is unable TO develop in
some countries, on account of cli-
matte conditions. 1t is TO be re-
marked. that he does not state the
disease will not thrive, but simply
that after what might De called the
experience OF hundred years, it has
not appeared, although all other cir
