VIII send quite II large contingent
here next month to the meeting OF
the national republican committee.
There has been much quiet talk re-
Gently that Senator Allison, Of Iowa,
had some very active support in Min
nesota, and claims have been made
that he would get the delegation.
1t is said that Allison and Ex.Sen-
ator Washburn have an understand
ing. As there will be great deal Of
presidential wire pulling done here
while the national committee is in
session, the hustlers of the party in
Minnesota are coming down to tell
the people that G. K. Davis is still in
the field, and will have the united
support of the Minnesota delega-
ton. Among those who have an
nouuced their coming are: John
Goodnow, T. E. Byrnes, Eugene
Hay, Tams Bixby, NJ. j. Dowling'
secretary of the republican league
and probably Ex-Gov. Merriam, and
Ex-senator Washburn. r. c. Evans

tend preliminary meeting for the
purpose of talking over claims OF

vention. There is some strong work

Chairman Carter is being roasted by

"Windy City," for certain sum.

There is strong demand for further
protection to the agricultural pro-
ducts. Our whole delegation will
stand for protection on the articles l
have mentioned, md, l think, they
will be supported by the delegations
from all the Western states. 1t will
come pretty hard for the Democrats
to agree upon protection for these
articles, and especially wool, but that
is what they will have to come to. l
doubt very much if anything in the
way of financial legislation will be at
tempted at this time.

AR E
WHY POTATOES
CHEAP.

Farmers will do we'll to study the
reason why potatoes are 50 cheap
this year. The low tariff on fore ign
potatoes of course brings their value
down to the price at which Canadian
or other cheap labor potatoes can be
sold in our markets. Added to this is
the fact that much larger area has
been planted to potatoes this year
than usual. It is interesting t. learn
why this is so.
The July report of the Department
of Agriculture told US that the farm
area planted to potatoes this year
was "7.9 per cent. greater than last
year" for the whole country. There
is reason for this. In the tobacco
and hop growing states, owing to the
reduction in duties on foreign grown
tobacco and hops, farmers have re-
duced the area planted to these crops
and put more land into potatoes.
The prices of home grown tobacco
and hops fell to on-paying point,
so farmers hoped to do better by
growing potatoes.
In New York State this years to-
bacco area was IS per cent. less than
that of last year. In Massachusetts
it was Is per cent less. In Pennsyl-
vania it was ~ per cent. less. In
Virginia it was II per cent. less. In
North Carolina it was per cent. less
In West Virginia it was II per cent.
less. In Ohio it was 10 per cent.
less. In Illinois it was 81 per cent.
less. In Wisconsin it was Is per
cent less. These are heavy reduc-
tons in the areas of the tobacco crop,
which is grown in only Is different
states to any extent.
Now for their potato area In
New York the tubers were planted on
IL per cent. more acres than a year
ago. In Massachusetts the increase
was per cent, in Pennsylvania l per
cent, in Virginia 4 Per cent, in North
Carolina 3 per cent, in West Virginia
4 per cent, in Ohio l per cent, in H.
lionis per cent. and in Wisconsin
per cent more land was set to po-
tatoes. These additional areas, the
result OF the lower duty on tobacco,
as we'll as the lower duty en- potatoes
have forced the price of the latter
down to an unprofta BILE basis. Farm
ers will readily understand that prop
er protection for all crops is neces-
ssrv to their success. Free trade in
one farm product Injuries other pro-
ducts by increasing the area planted
to other crops.-American Economist.

Beefsteak and Kidney Pudding.

Two pounds of lean, juicy beef, free
from gristle (the under side of the
round or chuck Is best. Cut it and
two lamb kidneysinto pieces no larger
than the end Of your thumb roll each
piece of meat in flour and season with
pepper and salt. For the crust use
one pint of sifted -four, three ounces
of suet, and water enough to make the
dough soft enough to roll out. 1t should
be at least half an inch thick, Grease
a quart bowl well, preferably with
dripping or suet, and lay the crust in
it, bringingit well mp on the sides and
being careful not to cut it off so close
that it may slip. Put in the meat,
pour in gill of cold water and cover
the pudding exactly as you would a
pie. Some line the bowl and allow
the crust to turn over to form the top,
but it is better to cut it off and put
the top on separately, pinching it down
well Tie the bowl containing the
pudding in a Toured cloth and boil
four hours, observing the same pre-
caution as with other boiled buildings
that is, not removing the lid except
to put more water into the pot, and
this added water must always be brisk
ly boiling.

Packing Gold for Shipment.

When banker, or coffee merchant,
or whoever it may be, determines to
send gold abroad to meet his obhga-
tons, instead of buying bills of ex-
change he accumulates the amount he
intends to ship in currency in the form
of greenbacks, treasury notes or gold
certificates, and presents them at the
sub-treasury. Uncle Sam Is bound to
maintain his credit, much as he may
dislike to see the gold 90, and the
treasury officials turn over the equiv
alent of the currency presented in gold
coin at short notice When the gold
is handed to the shipper all govern
mert responsibility ceases.
The yellow metal is put in canvass
bags and carted to cooper, whose
speciality is making kegs for shipping
gold. The gold kegs are about eight
cen inches high and ten inches in di-
ameter at the center They are made
of oak, and are firmly strapped with
iron hoops. The packing of a keg of
gold is an easy matter to the gold
cooper. A keg will hold $4,000 Of
gold coin, and the cooper will have a
million dollars of it all packed ready
for shipment in an hours time. Each
keg weighs 225 pounds, and is securely
sealed. It is then ready for the truck
man. who takes it to the steamer.

Sensation of Starving.

For the first two days through which
a strong and healthy man is doomed
to exist upon nothing his suherings are
perhaps more acute than in the remain
ing stages he feels an inordinate, un-
speakable craving at the stomach night
and day. The mind runs upon beef,
bread and other substances, but still,
in great measure, his body retains
its strength.
On the third and fourth days, but
especially on the fourth, this incessant
craving gives place to sinking and
weakness of the stomach, accompanied
by nausea, The unfortunate sufferer
still desires food, but with loss Of
strength he loses that eager craving
which he felt in the earlier stages.
Should he chance to get morsel or
two Of food he swallows it with wolf
ish avility, but five minutes afterward
his suGerings are more intense than
ever. He feels as if he had swallowed
a living lobster, which is clawing and
feeding upon the very foundation Of
his existence.
On the the fifth day his cheeks sud-
denly appear hollow and sunken, his
body attenuated, his color is ashy pale
and his eyes wild, CLASSY and canni-
balistic, The different parts of the
system now war with each other. The
stomach calls upon the legs to go with
in quest of food the legs from weak
ness, refuse. The sixth brings with it
increased suffering, although the pangs
of hunger are lost in an overpowering
languor and sickness. The head be-
comes dizzy the ghosts of well-remem-
bered dinners pass in hideous process
sion through his mind. The seventh
day comes, bringing increased lassl-
tude and further prostration OF
strength. The arms hang listlessly,
the legs drag heavily. The desire for
food is felt to a degree, but it must be
brought not sought.
The miserable remnant of life that
still hangs to the sufferer is burden
almost too grievous to be borne, yet
his inherent love of existence induces
a desire still to preserve it if it can be
saved without a tax on bodily exertlon.
The mind wanders. At one time he
thinks his weary limbs cannot sustain
him a mile next he is endowed with
unnatural strength, and, if there be a
certainty of relief before him he dashes
bravely and strongly forward, wonder
ing whence proceeds his new and sud
den impulse.-Ctrrent Literature.

The Evils of Over-Eating.

assert that it is the duty of the
good housewife to keep down the APP
petite of her husband, writes the Rev.
F. S. Root in the October Ladies Home
Journal. Particularly is this necessary
in the cases of well-to-do professional
and business men. In the families of
mechanics earning low wages such a
warning is almost wholly unnecessary,
but it may be said of most men IN good
circumstances that they eat too freely
of rich food. If men would begin
careful and systematic physical culture
in early youth and continue the prac-
tice through life, good health would
be the result. Beyond the age of forty
at period when 50 many are Physi-
cally lazy-the superior value Of ex-
ercise is apparent but ordinarily, this
is Just the time when the hygiene of
athletics is neglected. There is no
reason why a punching-bag, rowing
machine, pully-weights and other APP
paratus should be relocated to college
BOYS and clerks. But having done a
Good deal of work in his time it Is
almost impossible to persuade busi-
ness or professional man, turning forty,
to give any sort Of attention to physl-
cal culture if such training has been
previously neglected. Hence, | say
it is the duty of a woman to keep from
her husband all rich compounds that
will ultimately ruin his digestion.
High feedingis occasionally neutra-
lied by hard exercise; but in the alb
sence Of the latter it is mischieyous IN
the extreme. If your husband will
stand the treatment, begin by switch
ing off from the heavy breakfast OF
steak, hot rolls, potatoes, etc, and set
before him eggs-on-toast, oatmeal and
coffee.
