Hon. B. A. Enloe is nothing if not salty. His new paper, the Louis vile Dtspatch, has been launched upon the rough sea peculiar to CO., operative enterprise, but with right as basis and ability at the helm it's prospects are bright. Here is a sample of Col. Enloe's initial shots on bolters: "Men who have been lifelong Democrats, and were per suaded or driven to vote the Re publican ticket in the last election ought not to complain about the hardship of returning to the Demo cratic party by the same route through which they left it. A man who in last November pinned back the ears of the Republican elephant, greased him with Hanna fat and swallowed him from trunk to tail, ought to begin to feel now like it would be Q relief to get rid of the dose aad return to the fellowship of his former political associates. When the whale swallowed Jonah he had sense enough to give him up after short acquaintance, and it would seem that the Democratic whales who swallowed Jonah Me Kinley ought to have learned enough in this time to be perfectly willing to part company with him.

Butter Instead Of Cream.

Instead of butter a few tablespoon
fuls of cream is a delicious addition to
vegetables. If young, tender peas are
boiled in a very little water-cold
water, mindful this has all evapor-
ated, if salt, pepper, and a dash -of
cream be put to them, and the whole
just boiled up once, the result will be
a revelation to those who have eaten
them cooked according to any printed
recipe. Our cooking-school teachers
concur in directing the boiling of peas
in plenty of hot water, and draining
when done; this process makes them
about as savory as so many chips. The
fresh vegetable taste has entirely dis
appeared. String-beans, Of course,
require more water, but it should be
all boiled away-not drained off at the
last, and then the cream be added, as
to squash, to Lima-beans, or to new
potatoes. These last are another tde-
lightful surprise if scraped, instead of
pared, boiled, drained, and dished be-
fore pouring over them a little cream,
and sprinkling with salt and pepper.
The dish should be set inthe warming
oven a few moments only. The farm
ers' wives who, one upon a time, were
the "good cooks" of this country,
learned the cream method of serving
vegetables. No better way of cooking
those particular PARTICLES of food has
ever been discovered, with all the i'm
provements of fn-de-siecle scientific
cookery.-New York Post.

The Day or the lied Terror.

January Il, 1906, was the famous
sDay Of the Red Terror" described by
medieval chronieiers. The dawn was
clear and beautiful, but shortly before
the sun rose the heavens became OBJ
Bcured in a strange red blaze. It hid
the sun and the crimson glare fell upon
the earth like the reflection of some
great co~niagration. Terror filed the
hearts Of mankind everywhere. The
churches Of Europe were filed the
whole day long. Anchorites and her
mits came from their retreats and
cried aloud that the Day Of Judgment
was at hand. In the afternoon and
evening some people declared they
eonld see angels and devils battling in
the air and that the blood of the con-
hict rained upon the earth. However.
about midnight the red pail disappear
I'd before a wind and the panic-stricken
people recovered their senses.

Railway

The returns of accidents as reported
by the railway companies of Great
Britain and Ireland during the year
1896 have been published. It is stated
that accidents to trains caused the
death of eight persons and injury to
$40 persons, as compared with II
deaths and 1877 persons injured i'll
1895. OF the passengers by the trains
5 were killed aud 38o injured in 1896,
against 4 killed and 500 injured in the
year previous. During the twelve
nsosths there were reported % col
lisions between passenger trains and
40 collisions between passenger trains
and goods trains. The small number
OF accidents is to be attributed to the
gsneraf>preva!enee Of what is known
rs the "olock system" on English
railways, q term used for a well-known
system of signal.

A Natural Nose for Petroleum.

John Moosman, known throughout
the oil fields as s'The Smeller," on
account of some power he seemed to
possess for locating oil pools, was
struck by a railroad train at Parkers-
burg, W. Va, and instantly killed. A
small spot on his forehead was the
only mark made by the train. Moos-
mar was seventy years old, deaf, and
very wealthy, his money having been
earned from oil men, who had the
most implicit confidence in his ability
to Judge the value of an oil we'll be-
fore it was drilled. He had made
dozens of locations for wells in this
field, and was invariably successful

madea great point about the drying of
herbs for culinary purposes; it was q
solemn but pleasant duty that house,
keepers of the present day are apt to
shirk, buying rather the boiled herbs
at twice the price that they would pay
if they dried and bottled the leaves
themselves. It is important that
herbs should be dried when in the
best condition for that4Qurpose. In

herbs gathered on a dryA day and
washed Immediately. 1t is then
necessary to have them dried in the
oven, or over the fire, upec a thin
sheet Of iron or tin. When quite dry,
the leaves should be picked off,
pounded and sifted, and put away in
stoppered bottles distinctly labelled
with the name of the herbs they con-

Eggs colored red typifying the blood

changes at Easter. Every believer
went abroad at this season with his
pockets well supplied with Easter eggs.
When two Russians met for the first
time during the Easter holidays, IL
they had rot met az a. day itself, the
belated Easter compliments were pass
ed, first by shaking lands In silence;
then the elder (or the younger, IL ne
outranked the elder would say: 1.-THE
Lord is risen," and his companion
would reply, at is true;;" then they
kissed each other and tremendously
drew from their respective pockets this
Easter emblem, and exchanged eggs.
The Chinese claim that the world was
formed Of the two parts of an enormous
egg. From the yolk Of the egg stepped
forth the human being; he waved his
hand, and tie upper half of his late
castle, the e%gg-sheil, went upward and
became the concaye heavens of blue.
the lower half fell reversed, making
the convex earth, and the white alou-
men became the seas. The Syrians
believed also that the gods from whom

"Few people run this canyon owing
to the danger Of losing their boats and
lives, for if you once hit the side Of
the canyon its all off with you Most
every n portage their goods and
boats here, but our boat was too big
for two of us to handle, SO there was
nothing left for us to do but risk it.
Ws took our sail and nailed it over the
bow of the boat; packed all our goods
tight, and were then ready for the run:
We pushed off from the shore and the
current soon carried us to the mouth
of the canyon, where the boat hesita-
ted for a second, as though afraid to
enter, then went forward like a shot.
'''The sensation while going through
is indescribable; first we were up on
top of a wave, then down, it requiring
all our strength to keep the boat
straight. Once she came near hitting
the wall, but by hard work I got it
back on the crest again. About half
way through is a large space, where
we had q chance to breathe, then for
ward we shot again to the last half Of
the canyon, coming out of the other
end safe and sound, having made the
trip, fve-eighths of a mile, in two and
a half minutes. We pulled over to the
bank and then started over the rapids.
We pulled over to the left bank, &C.
cording to instructions, but soon saw
II mistake, as we hadn't gone a hun
dred yards when we ran into a rock.
We thought sure We we're dor for, as
wi boat pretty nearly turned osaer and
cracked all over from the foregof hit
ting the rock. Both oars Welt over
board. By jumping out we damaged
to get the boat off on the 15ck, and
then we led itadown the rapids, a dis
lance of two miles, and no easy task
it was, for the river was swift and full
of boulders. We finally a. rived at the
foot of the rapids, where we were glad
enough to camp.-Spokane Wash.)

Remarkable Instance Of Heroism.

Ren1arKaDle instance OF HerO1sm.
The story is told of a remarkable in.
stance of heroism in the case of an
Albanian peasant, who was left behind
by the Turks to warn them of the num-
Der of sstheir Grecian foes who were
making advance into Epirus. It, seems
that when Major Coumondouro reached
the neighborhood of Pentepighadia, he
entered the tower of the town and
found as its sole occupant an Albanian
who was instantly made prisoner. As
the man seemed very friendly and had
a long story to tell of the atrocities Of
the Turks it was decided to make some
use Of him; and the major took him up
to the top of the tower to have him
point out the road by which the Turks
had retreated to Janina. While there
he led the conversation to rifles, and
asked to see the Gras rife, with which
the Greek army was equipped. One
was handed to him, ~whereupon he ex-
amined it, looked at the cartridge,
loaded and fred, land then turned to
his eaptors and said: "Now kill me-"
It seems that the Turkish commander
had sent him out to learn how many
Greeks were coming to the fort, and
had told him to fire n shot if there
was only one regiment, and if there
were more regiments to do nothing, as
the Turks only numbered 5000. As
there happened to be only one Greek
battalion with no guns and no supports,
the report brought forth the Turks,
who were concealed in the rocks and
who rushed forward and at once SUR.
rounded the Greeks. Whether the
Albanian was killed o. not the reports
do not state, but at any rate the story
is as romantic as any episode in his.
