rum For Resande" and Its Meaning TO Nor
wegians

From John L. lStoddards Lecture ON
Norway.
I'M inspecting the structure 1t is inter-
esting to remember how independent
Norway lis of Sweden, although both
countries are governed by one king. The
parliament in Christialnia is wholly sep
arate from that at stockholm. No Swede
may hold political office here. EVEN the
power OF the king is limited; for IL a bill
is passed three times in the Norwegian
parliament, then, Notwithstanding the
royal veto, do becomes a law.
Moreover, in accordance with the con-
stitution, the king of Sweden and Nor
way must be crowned in Norway; he
must reside here ghree months i'm the
year; here, also, he must open parlia-
ment in person, and hold receptions.
for no Norwegian wishes to go to Stock
flolm for a presentation to Ibis sover-
eignL In this portion of his realm, also,
he must be addressed as king of Nor
way and Sweden" not of Sweden and
Norway A certain rivalry still ex-
lists batween these two nations. Nor
wegiars sometimes say: 1--WE love the
English, and drink tea; the Swedes love
the French and drink coffee"
One of the first things that attracted
my attention in my walks through Chris
tiania was the peculiar sign: Rum for
Resandc." Judge not, however from ap-
pearances in this strange language Of
the North. 1t is said that not long ago
an English speaking traveller of strong
prohibition principles was Mortified at
seeing this announcement frequently dis
played.
What does the last word 'Resande
mean?" he asked ysuspiciously.

Rum for tnavelersi' he exclaimed.
''Oh, this is terrible! What an insult to
the travelling public! Now I, for one,
protest against such misrepresentation.

wegian, who was laughing heartily;
';that first words means not rum, but
rooms: the whole sentence, therefore,
merely signifies lodging for travellers ="

RULERS OF THE KITCHEN.

While men cooks get rich, become hotel
and restaurant keepers, establish reputa-
tions and even become famous, women
cooks rarely succeed in life, as few know
the value Of money and still fewer save
money. The phrase "cordon-bleu" mans
a woman cook-never a chef. The ex-
preston is an old one and originated in
this way: The decoration worn by the
knights of the Holy Grail was blue rib
bon. On= day the Count dOlonne gave
a dinner to some of his brother KING
and the dinner was so very good that the
count sent for the cook of the club. Ex-
pecting a reproof she appeared confused
and trembling but after showerfng her
with praises the count arose, took the
blue ribbon from his neck and putting
it around hers, said, "Now you are a cor
don-blue." and ever since the French
have called a good woman cook 'un
yrai Gordon blue"-"a real blue-rib-
boner."
The acme of praise for a chef is to be
called a Vatel, Soyer or a Careme. Va
tel was educated by Count de Condo,
whom he followed through his short
but eventful military and social career.
The kings of Spain and France and Car

tertained, praised his cook One day
Louis XIV. was the honored gust, and
the palace at Chantilly was like wonder
land. The dinner began on time and
every course was to the kings tast@
until the lobster came up. There was
no sauce.
Where was 1t?
The head assistant forgot to make It.
"But one moment" h pleaded.
what, you fool of fools, keep the
king of France waiting for lobster juice?
There is only one thing for Vatel to
do" and he did it-pulled off his sword
and fell on 1T.
Careme was born in Paris, and 1t was
said of his tal5nt as cook that nothing
ever came into the capital out of which
he could not make either pate on
ragout. He made hosts of friends and
lots of money. No celebrity's visit was
considered finished until Careme had CIV
en- him a dinner. Emperor Alexander
Of Russia visited the city about the time
Napoleon left for st. Helena, and was
so delighted with ths fame of Careme
that he offered him an ambassadors sal
ary to go to ST. Petersburg. Ca'reme
agreed. In six weeks he was back IN
Paris. What happened?
"Mon dieu thu emperor does not know
how to eat. A chicken outlet 1 was

a cherry. Do you think 1 would cook
for man of such taste? No; not for the

Alabama. of Course.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record
in its last issue urges every southern
city to take an active interest in the
establishment of an armor plate plant in
this section. 1t says that no matter
where the PLANT is located, 1t Is bound
to benefit the entire south.
The Record concludes its admirable
article as follows:
At the mention of project such as
the armor-plate plant all cities should
unite their endeavorS In behalf OF the
locality which is manifestly the best
for the purpose. 1t lis no reflection upon
the adaptability of other sections for
other enterprises to- suggest that the
finger of fitness points unerringly TO Ara
bama as the state which should De the
home eff the armor-plate plant, IL 1t be
established anywhere. To acknowledge
this may cause one and another locality
a momentary pang, but the feeling OF
disappointment will pass at the thought
of the benefit to accrue to all the south.
Alabama has long been regarded as the
coming iron center of the United States.
Years ago Sir Lowthian Bell, regarded
as leader among meatallurgical engi-
neers of England, predicted that iron
would be made cheaper there than any
where else in the world. That fact Is re-
called in the current number OF Casslers
Magazine, and at the same time are re-
called the many incidents of the fluffy
ment of the prophecy, and also the re-
cent achievements in steel.
AS the arnor-plate plant is intended
for all time wisdom would naturally
build it in "a region which is advancing,
and not in one where the Importance of
steel-making is destined to decline. The
region of the future i'm this line is Ala
bama. The whole south should realize
that and show forth its faith by its
works.
The star of empire takes its way
steadily in this direction. Alabama is

lack Frost in Siqht.

The indications are that before many
days there win be a general frost, and
yellow fever will be thing of the past.
This means that every business interest
will suddenly leap Ito the front and
great activity will prevail in industrial
and commercial circles.
Delayed orders will be filled in the
northern cities, and trade will soon be
booming in every southern city. 1t is
ito be hoped that cotton will shortly
have an upward tendency, but even
without it the economy of the southern
farmers for several years past has
made them comparatively independent,
and they will buy more goods this win
ter than they have been able to pur-
chase in recent years.
The outlook is growing brighter every
day. and while the present wave of
prosperity may disappoint some. it is
safe to say that it will bring plenty
and happiness to many firesides.

The Model Obituary.

On Sunday last there died in New York
one Of the greatest editors known In the
history of American Journalism. and was
the editor of the best and most advanced
of the American newspapers.
The following was all that was printed
in Monday mornings Sua announcing
the death of it's late editor:
Charles Anderson Dana, editor of the
Sun, died yesterday afternoon"
Modesty was always one of Mr.. Dana's
strongest characteristics and the simple
encouragement ait the head of the edit
oral columns of the Sun was in keeping
with the tastes Of the dead editor. What
need was there to have said more. He
had made the Sun and that was his mon
ument 1t was the besi. obituary notice

Dallas and Manchester.

One days mail brought two reports
chester, New Hampshire. and the other
in Dallas, Texas. The two mills are
many miles apart, and they are very
much apart in other respects, as the
information received from the mails
plainly shows.
The Galveston News Is authority for
the information from Dallas. That
prosperous city sells goods, not only
in the empire of Texas, but also in
Mexico and to the Indian nation, and
its big cotton mill is SO pushed with
orders that a night force has been or
gained for it. Double turn will do as
as a temporary expedient, but Dallas
real need Is more cotton mills. A dozen
more mills are greatly needed in Texas
today to fill the orders received in the
course of her own trade. 1t is gross
waste to send raw cotton to New Eng
land or Old England, and then to order
ft back in the form of manufactured
goods, paying freight charges and COM
missions and submitting to 'tares" at
almost every stage OF the process. Texas
is now too strong and rich to do business
In that way. Build more mills.
Up in Manchester they seem to have
a surplus of mill. Treasurer Coolidge's
annual report to the stockholders of the
Amoskeag cotton mills has just been
printed. In it he shows that the bust
ness of the past year was Improbable"
because production has passed consump-
ton. He goes on to say that the south
ern mills took last year 1,024,000 bales,
as compared with TAI bales five years
ago. Last year the northern mills took
100000 bales, as compared with 100000
bales five years ago. This state of af-
fairs" he adds, (which I have often
pointed out to you before, as a very
serious one, cannot change until the
wages of the south and those of the
north come nearer together. At the
present time there is a difference of 20
to 30 per cent. in favor of the south.
They have 3,45O,OOO spindIes. and there
is a continuous building of new mills
and enlargement of the old ones in all
the southern states"
There does not seem to be much to be
added in the way of comment. Treas
urer Coolidge has covered the ground.
If the great Amoskeag company cannot
stand I'D against southern competition
what northern mill can? But because
the advantages of the southern mills
are now openly admitted, let us not re-
lax our efforts to secure supremacy in
cotton manufacturing. Build more mills
amid the cotton fields.

DEBORAH GANNeTT, SOLDIER.
A New England Woman Who Served in the
Revolutionary War

From the Washington Post.
The fact that thsue was another New
England woman besides Moll Pitcher
who won fame at the lannon's mouth.
that served in The revolution, has re-
Gently been brought to light as the result
of an inquiry at the pension bureau.
There is a lady. Mrs. Hettle Russell Lit
tlefleld, living in the commonwealth of
MssSa chusetts, who is anxious to be-
come a Daughter of the Revolution. She
believed that hsr geneatogy could be
traced back to revolutionary times
through the records of the interior de-
partnhsnt. With a view to proving this
fact she addressed communication to
the secretary of the interior asking in
formation as to the alleged military SIR
vice of Deborah Cannot, her ancestor,
who was said to have served as an en-
listed soldier In the revolutionary war as
a member of the massachusetts, infantry.
Her belief was confirmed by the receipt
OF tlre following letter:
Madam: In response to your recent in
quiry, referred to this bureau by Hon.

Politics and Other Things.

1t is generally supposed that a wave
of prosperity makes politics take a soft
er, gentler tone, and eliminates its BIT
terness. But in the present instance
the wave of prosperity is lop-sided and
discriminative.
Yellow Jack and smallpox have also
been touching various points in this re-
gion, here and there, for two or three
months and business has been inter-
rupted. Altogether, the situation bristles
with irritating features and it is to be
feared that when the campaign opens
a good deal of pent-up discomfort will
be turned Doose
A good way for the people to get rid
of the unpleasant side of politics is to
let the Office seek the man, and leave
the fellow who is hunting the Office out
in the cold.
This suggestion cannot make any
body angry, for every candidate pro-
fesses to favor it, and declares that he
is ''in the hands of his friends"
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1897-10-20

the practical application. Conventions
have passed resolutions dozsns of times
reducing the cotton area. The result
was more cotton. Then, direct trade
was tried, but the southern railways
at that time did not entsr heartily into
the scheme.
The fact might just as well be recog-
n.zed that the south will for all future
time produce cotton and turn out tre-
mendous crops. Ther= is only one way
to turn this to the advantage Of the pro-
ducer, and that is to manufacture the
whole crop here at home. Try cooper
tories; home capitalized factories; for
eign imported plants and in short every
possible enterprise which will manu-
facture our raw material, employ labor
and keep our money at home.
When this shall be DONE Liverpool
will no longer fix the price of cotton.
1t will be fixed here. and all the nations
of the earth win depend upon us for
the products of our mills. The people
can double their cotton production and
still make money, il they manufacture
1T, and control it until 1t goes to the con-
sumers.
This can be done. Public sentiment,
favorable legislation and the cooperation
of even comparatively poor people can
do it,

Sensible Cubans.

The Cubans who have openly express
ed DESIRE for the annexation of their
islard to the United States are on the
right line.
Cuba is naturally a Fart of this repub-
lie. This government needs it for mill
tary, naval and commercial purposes,
and the island should mot be allowed to
remain under the cruel and oppressive
domination of a weak foreign monarchy.
The annexation Of Cuba is bound TO
come sooner or later, and If Mr.. Nc
Kinley can bring it about the achieve
ment will do much to distinguish his adj
ministration and atone partially for some
of its objectionable features.
In the interest of humanity civiliza-
ton, self-preservation and public health

take the little island under the protect
ing wings of the American eagle.

How Yellow lack Hurts.

When we take a broad view of the sit
uation it must be admitted that yellow
fever is not a very deadly disease at the
present day. Its victims during the ex-
iS.ing epidemic will probably he compar-
atively few in number. Looking at it in
this light, the New York World has
these comments: =
The yellow fever at the South IS kill
ing very few people, considering that it
lis an epidemic. 1t is killing far fewer
people than conSumpL ION is and always
is in the United States.
But the panic 1t is creating is paralyz-
ing commerce in a way that will bring
greater distress upon a large number OF
people than the fever directly does.
Ships from this port to Galveston are

and according to the Journal of Com
merce the United States treasury feels
the paralysis I'M a reduction of the de-
mand for silver dollars in redemption of
the Sherman notes.
All these things mean loss of employ
ment to many thousa nds of clerks la
DOrerS ana the IKE; loss or earnings
to railroads, "a reduction of force in ev-
cry direction and Ito many hundreds of
families Ii: means want.
Thus the fever is doing immeasura bly,
less harm by its direct effects than that
which it inficts through the agency of
panic
The New York paper hits the nail ON
the head. The indirect damage resulting
from a touch of yellow fever on the gulf
or South Atlantic coast is simply meal
culable. There are millions of intelligent
people in the north and in Europe who
nave never taken the trouble to study
Southern conditions. They know nothing
about the varieties of climate here.
They think that the South is the came
thing from Virginia to Texas, and when
they hear of yellow fever in New Orleans
they believe that Birmingham. Atlanta,
Nashville and Richmond are in immi
nent danger.
