No longer than four months before
there lived in the Rue des Armes a
huckster named Morris. They were
quite respectable people, and the
neighbors gladly visited the little

How Is This for Il ssiShr

A. traveller from the South described
recently one OF the oldest and most
popular dishes in Kentucky, which is
known as "burgoo." 1t is an outdoor
connection, and many massive pots of
it are said to have shimmercd er a
hot fire in the open at politica, gather
ings in Kent lcky. The making of
"bnrgOO" is thus described: In the bot
tom of the big pct. some red pepper
pods are thrown; then potatoes, tonaa-
toes and corn are added: then a half
do e n nicely dressed prairie chickens
are thrown into the pot, also a half
dozen OF the latest farmyard chick
ems are added; then Il couple of dozen
soft-shell crabs and three or four
young squirrels are thrown on the
heap. Enough clear spring or we'll
water is poured into the caldron bare.
~ to tlCat tho varied contents, and
then the tile is started. 1t must be
allowed to simmer slowly for six hours,
and an old superstition is that it must
be stirred with a hickory sti k in o.
der to give it the best flavor.

Possibilities of kite-FIyinC

Have you eve noticed how diff
kite above the earth? 1t is a very
hard thing to do, indeed. This is on
account of the fact that objects float
ing in the air seem to be farther
away than they really are. 1t. may
be safely said that eighteen hundred
feet is the greatest altitude to VIII ich
a single kite IA sOar
Even to a person not apt to make
~eXuravagant estimates, a kite eigh-
teen hundred feet above ground will
seem to be fully IA half mile above the
earth. A careful measurement of the
string and its angle would, however.
prove the error. Ordinarily a kite
will go no higher even if the
string is paid out. This is because
the wind depresscs the cord, and
causes the kite to really recede when
it appears to be rising.
1t is, however, easy to arrange
several kites in such a name that
they will reach a higher altitude than
it is possible to reach with a single
kite. In this manner, when three
or four, or ever a dozen kites have
been used, remarkable heights have
been reached.
Should you wish to try this expert
ment, you may do Sc by attaching
only the main one to the end of
the string. The others must
be attached along the main line, in
a name similar TO the arrangement
of hooks IN a ''trOt.!ine," at an aver
age distance of twelve feet apart.
This question of how Il kite can as
cend has been made the subject Of
investigation by learned men--the
philosopher, Ben amin Franklin,
being 10y no mean the only scientist
who has flown a kite

at Buda-PeSth. and Irson and Wat
son, whose Investigations were pur-

curious results. Where single kites
could be mace to ascend to a height
Of | 300 feet, a pair could be made to
ascend to a height of from 1000 to
,, 100 feet, and a tandem easily
reached the h'gh-water mark Of :, $50
feet
These three eXperimcnterS declare
their belief that. with proper ar
rangement Of kites, and with a scien-
titic adjustment Of both the tail and
the string a height OF two miles will
some day be reached.

Adapted to the Climate,

Rice paper making may yet become
an industry in the United states. The
rice paper tree, one Of the most inter
esting of the entire flora of China, has
recently been successfully experiment..
ed with in Florida, where it now
tlourishes with other subtropioal and
Oriental species of trees and shrubs.
When first transplanted in American
soil the eXperimenters expressed
doubts of its hardness, fea ing that it
would be unable to stand the winters.
All these fears have vanished, how.
ever, and it is now the universal opin.
ion that it is we'll adapted to the eli
mate of this country. 1t is a small
tree, growing to a height Of less than
fifteen feet, and vita a trunk or stem
from three to five inches in diameter.
Its canes, which vary in cOlGr accord.
ing to season, are large, soft and
dOwny, the form somewhat resembling
that noticed in those of the castor.
bean plant. The celebrated rice pager,
the product of this queer tire ;, is
formed OF thin slices cf the pith. which
is taken from the body OF the tree III
beautiful cylinders several inches in
length. These are pressed until the
surface is rendered uniformly smooth
throughout it's entire length. Chinese
workmen are very deXterous in the
preparation OF this paper, as they seem
to be in ever thing thev undertake..
But they work entirely by hand"-a
method too SLOW for the hu.tling
American. If rice paper making be-
zones practicable, no doubt machinery
will be invented to do the work re-
luired.

1t was at this time that Judge RICE first

Immigrants from
Austria Hungary.
Immigrants from
United Kingdom,

The decrease in 1893 and 1891 of the
number of immigrants coming to our
shores is attributed to cholera in 1898
and to the panic for 1899. 1t will be
seen from the above that while the
immigrants from Austria Hung ry,
Poland, Italy and Russia were about
~One-hundredth of the number from
the United Kingdom, france, Germany
and Scandinavia in 1869, in 1850 they
were one-tenth and in 1891 nearly equal
to it. There are now 49, DOC. coo per-
sons OF foreign birth in the United
States, and over 2l,U00,tO0 of foreign
birth or parentage.
Statistics have also been prepared
showing that II per cent. Of our for
eign born reputation are settled in
cities, and that the same class consti-
tutes one-third of the insane of the
nation. Literature containing facts
like those will be presented to the
people SO that a sturdy sentiment
shall be created in favor of the pro-
posed changes.
