the fog 1t was found impossible to
make schedule time on the Brooklyn
elevated roads. Traffic on the big
bridge was very heavy, and caused a
big crush. Traffic was greatly de-

Grams who are seeking homes TO West Vir-

many large farms in what is now the south
era part of West Virginia. These have been
divided, and are being sold in small tracts.
An intelligent farmer said to me short
time ago that he wanted 10 sell off part of
his farm, and till tine remainder of it to
better advantage. There is good oppor-
tuDity for Northern and Western people in
the famous Greenbrier bluegrass region.
A great many farms are for sale at low
figures! They lie within 30 miles of a great
National railway, some of them within
lew miles of he famous White Sulphur and
other mineral springs.

Cleveland has insured the speedy confirmation
of his man. Peckham will have the support
of both the New York Senators. At the time
his brother Wheeler H., was nominated in the

opposition to the confirmation, and it is known
that the senior Senator has high regard for
the legal and personal qualities of the man
whose name has now been sent in.
Judge Peckham owes his present position on
the Court of Appeals to Murphy's influence so
there need be no fear of trouble from that
quarter.

Dishes-that is, foods-made up with cheese
are especially liked for Sunday evening sup
pers Of course. the daintiest and jolliest way
of preparing them is with chatting ish: but
if needs must dispense with that cow
fence, then these affairs can be made up out in
the kitchen.
The simplest of recipes is to butter thin,
sailed crackers, sprinkle them thickly with
grated cheese. and put them in the oven to
toast for five, or, at tue most, 10 minutes.

A story of our times, for which M,nseys is re-
sponsible, reads something like good, old-time
fairy tale, and it halls from that land of the
best fairy Stories Germany:
The news has just come to America that
Johannes Brahms has been inspired by the
poetess Johanna Ambrosius, and that Germany
is to have these two geniuses linked together
In song.
All German Americans know Johanna Am
broSius's poetry, and most of them know that
she is peasant, whose Empress has just given
her home and an income. She lived on a lit
tie farm in East Prussia, working in the fields,
toiling in Winter and Summer through ill
health and sordid conditions Her only edu-
cation came from the periodicals which now
and then found their way to her farm home.
But her genius translated the hardships of her
life into inspiring poetry, which has caught the
heart of Nation.
When her verses first appeared in the Poets
Corner" OF an obscure country paper they found
readers Last year professor in one of the
German universities discovered them and had
them collected into book. They have gone
into edition after edition, and every German
has come to know them. They have the true
quality of genius that touches the heart The
kaiserin has had them taught to her boys, and
has given her friendship to the poetess.
