AN OLD PRUSSiAN DISH.
'Beerfsh" Is Alleged to He Good When
1t Is Served Steaminx Hot.

'Beerhsh" Is Alleged to He Good When
1t Is Served steaminx Hot.
There is q dish dear to every Prus-
slams heart, which may be, however,
absolutely new in this country. All
Germans may not know it, as it is lot
made in south Germany except in iso-
lated cases. Beer is not it's chief ingre-
dent, but it plays an important"part in
the makeup.
The dish is known as beerish, and
the German carp, praised of epicures, is
herein treated in q worthy OF
the fish. It must be made with half
beer, or, in the absence of this, with
weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut,
not in half, like q shad. but in sections
or squares. Three or four cuts across
the fish are all that is necessary. OF
course the fish must be cleaned.
A large glazed pot is used. A layer Of
large onions is placed on the bottom Of
the pot. On this are sprinkled various
spices; then a layer Of q substance call
ed fish pfefferkuchen. which has more
or less fish substance in it and can be
procured at any German grocery or deli
catessen store; then q layer of sliced
lemon; then carp. This is repeated until
the pot is full.
A layer of onions is placed on top and
beer is poured into the whole mass until
all the intcrstices are filled. 1t is cook
ed for 90 minutes over o slow fire, mean
time adding a spoonful Of vinegar and
another Of sugar. Beerfish is delicious
when it is cooked and served steaming
hot. But its good qualities do not end
here. for after it is cold it offers allure
ments which make it hard to decide
which way it tastes better, hot or cold.

An Aberdeen man raises a point
against the constitutionality Of the mode
Of submitting tothe people an amendment
to the state constitution. First" he
says, "a majority Of the legislature must
be elected ir favor Of any amendment,
formulate and agree to that amendment,
whatever it is, by entering the yeas and
nays in the journal. Second, "a resolu-
ton must be passed submitting this
amendment to the people," In the
ameadmsnts heretofore proposed to be
submitted to the people, as for example,
an amendment of the prohibitory clause,
the latter or second part of the action
only has been taken by the legislature
The first part or amendment proper ha
never even been framed Oh acted upon,
the gentleman claims. A close reading
OF article ~ Of our constitution relating
to amendments will show that the gentle
man is very nearly right.

THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.
How Were They Reared and How Wa
the Material Gathered?

How Were They Reared and How Was
the Material Gathered?
The pyramids of Egypt. for long and
wonders, are to be regarded IA marvel
Gus triumphs of mechanical skill. OF
these there are many scattered over the
Nile valley, some of brick, some Of stone
and of varied height. The two largest
are in the neighborhood of Cairo. They
ire and have been for thousands OF
years the most colossal monuments In
the world.
The largest, that of Cheops, in its
original state is said to have been 800
feet high and the length of its base on
each side the same. 1t is built of huge
stones ranging from 3 to 4 feet in
height. 1t is now rugged and has the
four sided great stairway. The hollows
between the steps are believed to have
been filed in with white marble, which
would shine like now under the bright
Egyptian sur. The pyramid is now
much reduced in height, not being more
than 500 feet. 1t is generally admitted
that the pyramids were built for tombs
and OH certain astronomical principles.
There is an inner chamber where the
sarcophagus was placed. When a mon
arch began to reign, he commenced to
build his tomb. When he died, his body
was placed in the sacred chamber pre-
pared for it. and the opening which led
60 it was closed. The pyramid was
then completed. If the monarch's reign
was long, tho pyramid was large. II
short, the pyramid was small.
How those great structures were
Ieared-how the huge masses were
brought together and put in their places
lis a question which has never been
satisfactorily answered. OF mechanical
forces some of the early peoples seem to
have had much moro knowledge than
there is any direct record of.-Chicage

Sioux Falls dispatch, l3: Senator
Jones, Of Nevada, in his recent New
York interview, made known only a
portion of the plans Of the silver sena
tors and representatives in regard to the
purchase OF q New York daily by a sill
YER syndicate. The paper referred to by
the senator ia the New York Mercury, a
morning publication. The terms OF sale
have been agreed upon and the amount
necessary to purchase it has been raised
by subscriptions from DAILY, Hagen,
Mackay and other western mi!lionaires
and silver kings. Fifty to $4,000 will
be raised to put the paper upon a sub
s~tantial financial basis. The silverites
also intend to secure a western daily to
preach their doctrine and are negotiating
for the purchase of the Chicago Inter,
Ocean. The same men are also behind
this move and in case the price can be
agreed upon it is needless to say the
money will be forthcoming. Senator
Pettigrew made this known just prior to
sailing for Europe.
