A REAL PHlLANTHROPlST.
James n. stout of Wisconsin to Establish
Travelling Libraries.

James n. stout of Wisconsin to Establish
Travelling Libraries.
State Senator James H. Stout of Me-
nominee, Wis, noted for the liberality
he has displayed in aiding the cause of
education, has evolved plan for trav-
cling libraries, and will make an expert
mental trial of his project in his own
county at his own expense. Details have
not been made public, but in general
way it is designed to convey useful
books and the best literature to persons
living in remote districts, to whom they
are usually inaccessible.
Senator Stout is a member Of the lum-
Der firm of Knapp s. Stout. He removed
from st. Louis to Menominee in 1889,
and one Of his first acts in his new home
was to establish at his own expense a
manual training school. From a small
beginning the school has grown until it
Ia now one of the best equipped in the
United States. The present buildings
and machinery cost e70, 900, and as fast
As funds for enlargement are needed
they are supplied by Senator Stout.
The school has been success from the
start
Tho very best instructors are employ
Cd, and the work done compares favor
ably with any done elsewhere, greatly
TO the pleasure Of the donor, who takes
deep interest in every one Of the pu-
pills. Senator Stout became interested in
the subject Of maRnal training during
his residence in st. Louis. On going to
Menominee in 1889 he conceived the
plan of starting class in manual train
ing, and made proposition to the
school board to that effect, offering to
bear the expense.
This liberal offer was accepted. The
school started in small building, but
the interest shown in the work brought
with II . demand for larger quarters,
and Senator Stout erected the present
handsome, perfectly appointed building,
which is not only the pride of Menomi-
nee, but of the northwest part Of the
state. Chicago Times Herald.

ARID REGION EXPOSITION.
Plan TO Boom the Country Between the
Rockies and the Slerras.

Plan to Boom the Country Between the
Rockies and the sierras.
It is proposed in Utah to organize in
cooperation with neigbboring states an
"arid region exposition" to be held
successfully in the principal cities of
the east, for the purpose of showing the
products and resources Of the arid region
and Of trying to dispel the notion that
still exists in some quarters that the
country between the Rockies and the
sierras is a hopeless desert, given up to
sagebrush and coyotes.
The exposition would be something
on the lines Of the California exposition
soon to be held in New York. Speci-
mems Of products from the fields and
orchards would be shown, with samples
Of the mineral treasures Of the region.
The exhibits would be displayed in
the chief cities first, and then divided
up for exhibition in smaller cities and
throughout the eastern states. The
main idea is Of course that such an ex-
hibition would attract immigration and
capital to the arid west.

SPANISH ONIONS BAKED IN CREAM
To the Editor of Recipe Column
Use the large imported sweet onions
or the American white onions peel
them without cutting the roots and
tops close enough TO loosen the lay
ers. Scald the American onions to
modify their comparatively strong
flavor. Put the onions whole over
the fire in enough milk TO cover
them, and boil them gently until
they begin to become tender. Draw
off the milk and make a cream sauce.
Put the onions in a china baking
dish, pour the cream sauce over them
and dust the top with crackers or
bread crumbs dot over with small
bits of butter, and brown the surface
in moderate oven. Serve the on
ions in the dish in which they were
baked.
