meat. and keep it under the brine.
After standing a week or ten days,
II the brine is bloody pour it on
and boil, then pour it over the
meat after the brine Is cool. When

Migrating Rock Crystals.

It has long been assumed that Of two
igneous rocks in contact that containing
crystals peculiar to the other was
necessarily younger than the latter.
Cole, however, shows that crystals may
be floated away into a pre-existing rock
of a low degree Of fusibility from one
of a higher degree which has intruded
on it. At G~lasdrumman Port, County
Down, Ireland, a dixie or eurite is
f1anked on both sides by dikes OF
basaltic andesite, Of which the andesites
are unquestionably the older rocks, since
the eurite on its contact with them in
closes fragments torn from their sides.
The eurite contains porphyritic crystals
Of pink orthoclase, while the andesite is
normally devoid of them. Near its
contact with the former rock, however,
crystals exactly like those in the eurite
are occasionally found in the andesite.
Crystals of quartz and feldspar have
also often been fiOated from the eurite
into the detached fragments Of the an
desite. The invading rock has melted
| the ground mass of the andesite and has
left its larger crystals scattered through
a matrix made up largely Of moltel
andesite intermingled with some euritt

Two Lovely Doggies.

Some years ago l was out riding, ac-
companied by my two dogs-an Irish
setter and a bull terrier. I had a fall
and broke my thigh. The distress Of the
dogs was touching to see. They ran to
and fro, barking and bowling, appar-
emily to attract attention. When assist
ance came, l was carried home on a
hurdle, the two dogs trOtting n on
either side Of it, and when the bearers
put the burden down to rest they jump
ed on to it, licking my face and hands.
For several days the spaniel lay for
hours in the carriage drive, apparently
watching for his master.
Ono morning, when the postman de,
livered the letters, tho ervant gave the
dog my newspaper, and with, "Bring il
along. Paddy" he carried it up Stair
into my room. His JOY at seeing me
was worth beholding, and from that
day he regularly met the postman, car
ried the newspaper off and laid it or
my bed. He was scarcely ever after alb
sent from the room or the passage lead
ing to it.-LondOn Spectator.

Might Spoil the Effect.

When Marshal MacMahon was presi-
dent Of the French republic, an incident
occurred which illustrates the French
mans love of what is dramatic.
A French soldier sat OH the summit
of a hill overlooking a garrison town.
His horse was picketed close by. The
man was smoking leisurely, and from
time to time he glanced from the espla-
made to an official envelope he held in
his hand.
A comrade passed by and asked:
"What are you doing here?'
II Am bearing the presidents pardon
for our friend Flichmann, who is to be
shot this morning." replied the smoker
calmly, without changing his comfort
able attitude.
well, then, you should hurry along
with your pardon" admonished his
comrade.
"Oh. no." exclaimed the other in SOM
indignation "see, there is hardly a sou
yet on the esplanade, and the firms
platoon has not even been formed. Yo1
surely would not have me rob my ap
pearance Of all dramatic effect, M.
friend"

Aberdeen News, 6: Hon. j. E. Nipple
and Hon. j L. Lockhart, state auditor
and state land commissioner respective
ly, arrived last night to appraise the
holdings of ex. Treasurer Ta,lor and his
bondsmen in this county. There are
only two Taylor quarters in the county
and one small tract of land owned by
Mr.. Mellette. The task OF %appraising
the property Of the resident bondsmen
will consume, therefore, the greater part
of the visitors time.
Mr.. Lockhart stated this morning that
the work put upon him and his colleague
is rapidly reaching completion. Besides
this county they have yet to visit Sphinx,
Grant, Roberts, Day, Minnehaha, Faux,
Buffalo and Jerauld. The two counties
last named will require very little
attention, as the interests to be looked
after there are very small. Ex-Governor
Mellette's property in the state will APP
praise, Mr.. Lockhart stated, $4,000 over
and above encumbrances, and the eX-
treasurer's about an equal sum-. The
property held by the Northwestern
Trust company is nearly all encountered
and will make little return.

M%INNEAPoLIs, Nov. s.-The North
western Miller gives the flour output
at Minneapolis last week as 294, 49,
barrels, against 266, 80 the week before,
and 2l2, $50 in 1894. At Superior and
Duluth the output was LOG, $50 barrels last
week, against 1903 900 a week ago, and
95, $50 in 1894.
The Minneapolis mills will probably
not make as much -four this week,
though the figures will DE heavy. The
flour market last week was compare

the trade was slow to buy, and the mill

Every mill at Superior-D Duluth is run

mills are i'll a position to accept only =
small percentage of offers. as they are
already contracted ahead until the close
Of navigation. This condition has the
effect Of making them rather firm in

Minneapolis Tribune:

Minneapolis Tribune: William E.
Curtis furnishes the Chicago Record
with a statement of the profits realized
by the Rothschild- Morgan syndicate
which took the last issue Of government
bonds put out by President Cleveland
for the purpose Of making good the
deficit in the venue caused by the
democratic tariff bill. The bonds issued
amounted IN par value to S6o,ll1,oOO.
They we're purchased Of ithe government
at l04.4s, or a premium Of Si.4o above par.
They were sold to the syndicate at
$1l22J, an advance Of S1.15 on each
bond of 500. At this rate they yielded
Messrs. Belmont, Morgan and Belmont IA
profit Of S4,s31,575. The firm did not
retain this profit, but simply charged a
commission of q of l per cent for their
trouble and divided the remainder
among the twenty-seven banks compos-
ing the syndicate. This gave them q
profit of 6.672 per cent, to which must be
added Ia per cent interest accrued upon
L0eaOOnuSy maklQR Ill Ill o.1-- POI Sohe'
But this Ices not represent the entire
profit to the mem bers of the syndicate.
Mr.. Curtis says they were enabled to
double their profits by selling the bonds
they acquired, and many of them did 80.
The bonds haye sold as high as 123. and
at the present moment they are in de-
mand at I'D. The bonds cost them,
with the Morgan-Belmont commission
added, 1923, and they sold or may sell
them at l22, an advance Of $l6.77 on
each bond at 800. This represents a
total profit enjoyed by the members OF
the syndicate of sl2,494,3S4-ln addition
to the Morgan-B Belmont commission. 1t
is understood that this house retained
abou: half the bonds themselves, 80 that
the firms profits AMOUNT to something

be lordly and patronizing, and the artist
had objected.
Don't patronize me-" he said.
"Why not?" asked the millionaire.

"Of course, of course" returned the
millionaire in an offhand way. 81
admit it requires brains. and you have
to sell them to live"
But money is your god. You have
no other" retorted the painter.
ITS yours. also" said the million
