AN ATTRACTIVE SWEET DISH.

An attractive sweet dish that is
choice enough to serve at q luncheon
consists of tart baked apples covered
with q syrup containing nuts and
candied fruits and served with whipped
cream. Peel and core nice apples,
lay them in baking-dish, and pour
over them half cupful of cold water.
Put in the oven, which should be hot,
and when they begin to cook, slit over
them granulated sugar. Cook until
soft, but not until the sections lose
their shape. Make syrup of cup
full of water. half q cupful Of sugar,
and tablespoonful of strained lemon
Juice. Measure two tablespoonfuls OF
almonds, blanch them, and cut IN
bits. Add these to the syrup together
with two tablespoonful of desert
raisins seeded and chopped, and two
level tablespoonfuls OF candied cher
rles chopped with the nuts or raisins.
When the syrup reaches the boiling
point, let it simmer thirty minutes.
Put the apples with spoon in a low,
flat dish, skim out the fruit from the
syrup, and sprinkle over them. then
pour the syrup over and around them.
Serve very cold. New York Post.

Publisher and Authors.

I remember, little while before the
death in the hunting field of that de-
ightful companion and brilliant gentle
man, Why're Melville, publisher, said
to me one day, "Ah, you know, if your
books sold like Major Melville's, we
could afford to give you as long prices
as we give to him." The publisher was
not aware that I and Whyte Melville
were friends. The latter, however. came
to dine with me few evenings later,
and told him what had been said. He
stared, laughed and pulled his long au-
burn mustache well, by Jove, that's

It is said that stammerers rarely, il

when speaking in whispers. On this fac,
q new method of treatment has been ad-

This will allow rest to the voice and

COUNTY AGRICULTURE.

Prof. Shaw Discusses Our Farming Posi-
bilities
Prof. Thomas Shaw, of St. Anthony
Park, Mimi, at the recent meeting of
the state immigration society, gave
st. Louis county some valuable ad-
vertising. After citing what he as
certained on the trip which the
society made up as far as Tower, the
Prof. says:
1.-The inhabitants have been look
ing at it with lumberman's or a
miners eye. For both uses it is a
marvellous land, and yet in the judy
ment OF the writer, the topmost
twelve inches of the soil of st. Louis
will yet be more valuable to Mime
sofa than all the hidden treasurers of
the Mesaba and Vermilion ranges,
with all the lumber added that this
country has furnished. And this
statement is made in full view of the
fact, that there is now in sight enough
iron ore in these ranges to supply the
wants of the world for thirty years.
ST. Louis has 3,735, S46 acres of land
surface, and 495,674 acres covered by
water. In the country it has been
computed that of arabic lands 66S, 731
acres have been surveyed and that of
these $4,000 are yet unsurveyed.
Those who know the country best are
of the opinion that at least 60 per
cent Of all the soil is tillable and
productive. The Duluth & Iron
Range railway runs along or near the
height Of land in the Vermilion
range, and even here it would seem
that fully 40 per cent of land is till
able, were it drained and opened up
for settlement. The Vermilion range
is rocky. The same is true of the
Northeastern portion Of the county.
But to the north. south and west is
an immense tract Of country suitable
for the seeds of the farmer.
There are obstacles in the way of
settlement. First the country is a
forest. The average settler prefers
the prairie where the land is ready
for the plough. In all the ride of
nearly $50 miles, not more probably
than two dozen farms were seen ex-
cept along the road from Two Har-
bors to Duluth, which is evidently a

fine farming section. Second, the
lands are held at what to the writer
seems of high figure. And third, a
goodly number of the people have
but little faith in the agricultural
capabilities of the country. Strange
that under these conditions they hold
those lands at rates which would seem
to retard settlement. The truth re-
mains, however, that the good land is
there. Think of a tamarack swamp
seventy miles in length and several
miles in width which can be drained,
and you think of what some day will
become garden spot of productive
ness. And this swamp is but one of
many of lesser size to be found in St.
Louis.
The soil is there in almost limit
less acres outside of the 40 per cent of
rough land. But it may be that
the hindrances of climate may be
some obstacle to highest success in
agriculture. The summer is short.
The springs are said to be cold and
rather wet. Frosts are sometimes
unkind to the husbandman, but as an
offset there is usually a sufficient rain
fall. And where corn will grow as it
has grown in the gardens Of Tower
and Ely on or near the height of land,
we have the guaranty that oats,
barley, peas and tame grasses will
likewise mature. And with the
draining of the swamps the unwel-
come visits of summer froSts will
gradually grow less frequent.

THE NEW CONGRESS-
VIII Have So More Members
Than the Last One Did.
REPUBLICANS IN TIE LEAD.
The Silver Increases in Congress
Given by States Shows The
Grpwth of the Cause.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 21.--
Matters are pretty well settled as to
the complexion of the next House Of
representatives. In the first place.
the make up Of the next congress
shows Democratic gains. Full returns
from sll the States shows that the
Democrats have made congressional
gains as follows: California, l; Colo
RADIO, 2; Delaware, 1; Idaho, I; illinois.
/; Indiana, 8; Kansas, 1; Michigan, l.;
Kentucky, 1; Missouri, 6; Nebraska,
8; Ohio, 4; Pennsylvania, 1; Tennes-
see, 2; Utah, l; Washington, /; total,
80. The Populists have gained votes
in California, 2; Illinois, 2; Indiana,
1; Kansas, A; Michigan, l; Missouri,
/; Montana, I; North Carolina, 8, and
Washington, /; total, 16. The Re-
publicsns gained three congressman
in Maryland, one in Virginia, one in
New York and one in Louisiana,
total, 6. The net Democratic gain
OF votes, therefore, in the next con-
gress is twenty. three; the net Popu,
list gain is fifteen, aud the net Re-
publican loss thirty seven. Utah's
representative adds one more to the
total number. But two gold Demo-
Gratis were elected, and the net gain
to the silver men, therefore, combin-
ing both Democrats and Populists, is
thirby-six. One of the Republicans
elected in New York is James J.
Belden, an Independent, who defeated
the regular nominee, but who is
withal staunoh Republican.
George W. Murray, the colored
Republican member from South
Carolina, has been defeated again by
Colonel William Elliott. A contest
may again be expected, since he was
successful last session. George H.

district whose election will be ques-

In Praise of the Holy Inquisition

In Praise of the Holy InQuisitiOn
The Alt. Kstholisehe Vclksblatt, q
German paper devoted to the inter-
eat of the so-called Old Catholics,
who deny the infallibility Of the
Pope, offers its readers something
rather novel at the end of the nine
tsenth century. 1t is TRANSLATION
of an article in praise of the Inquisi-
tioa and its tortures, from the Ana
lecta Ecclesiastical, a Roman publioa-
ton edited under the special super
vision of the Fatican. The writer
of the article, Father Plus a Longo-
MO, describes all those who condemn
the Inquisition as "sons of darkness"
and glorifies the memory Of Thomas
Torquemads, the Spanish Grand In
quisitor. He says:
"No doubt the sons of darkness
will roll their eyes and grind their
teeth when they read this, and they
will talk of medieval moderation.
But it is useless to answer them. 1t
Is much better to demonstrate that
Llorente and other historians of the
Inquisition are utterly in the wrong.
1t is clearly proven that the Catho-
lilo historians are neither liars nor
dreamers when they assert that there
were apostates in those days who
secretly favored Judaism and worked
for its advance, while outwardly they
