The Worm Has Turned.
From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle,

A new craze that is spreading in elite cir
cles both in London and New York is the
cooking school for men. Last summer quite
q number were established at the resorts
and proved very popular. 1t is claimed that
the new departure will seriously interfere
with club life and restore a widespread in
terest>in the home on the part of the heads
of families" Naturally comparisons are
made by the cooking teachers concerning
the interest shown by women and men au-
diences. One careful observer says THE
men want to know about the food values,
whether peeling potato is wasting it and
whether oysters or beefsteak excel Goldfish
and beans in amount of nourishment for
the money expended, while the women are
bent on learning how to make what comes
into the house into the most appetizing
dishes and the methods of measuring and
mixing claim their sole attention"

Receiving the Bond Mail.
Preparations were made with the post
master of Washington to deliver the BOND
mail in sealed sacks at the new city post
Office. Here it vas received by the open
ing division of Assistant Secretary Wander
lips temporary force Such exceeding care
vas taken in opening the bond mall that
the thirty openers engaged on 1t were re-
CURED to open the envelopes not only at
the side, but at both ends. and then press
the mutilated cover out fiat in order that
nothing of value might remain with the
discarded sheet. The waste paper was
also &C ne over by a force specially charg-
ed with that duty, and again when 1t was
delivered to the department it had to pass
the scrutiny of the paper room of the treas
ury, where the employees have had long
experience in looking through waste paper
for things of value. The clerks of this
opening division took more than SISoooo
in curl ency from the envelopes, and not
cent OF it remains unacCounted for. The
work of classification began in the OPEN
ing division, where the clerks were required
to separate the subscriptions into piles ac-
cording to the kind of bond desired OF the
character of remittance sent with the sub
scrpticn Thus, subscriptions fer coupon
bonds were kept to themselves, and sub
scriptions accompanied by post office
money orders were not kept with those
accompanied by checks and drafts. The
sorting of the subscriptions also involved
their arrangement according to the place
on which the checks and drafts We're
drawn. This was done to facilitate the
making of collectors. From the openers
the subscriptions were taken to examiners
to look out for errors and irregularities.
They were required to see that the checks
and drafts were signed. Not a few cash
iers failed to sign bank drafts and many
checks were sent in without amounts being
set forth. After the war revenue act be-
came operative the examiners were re-
CURED to that checks and drafts were
duly stamped in accordance with that act.
No case could be passed on to the listers
unless it had been marked perfect by the
examiners. The perfect cases of the class
of $500 and less were arranged in lots of
100 and then passed on to clerks who re-
corded the names, addresses and amounts

The Army and Navy Have Not Won
All the Glory.
Il REMARKABLE FINANCIAL VICTORY
Placing the Two Hundred Million
Dollar War Loan.
HOW THE WORK IS DONE

The loan of 1898 is properly regarded as
one of the successes of the war The fact
that 81 400, 900 600 was subscribed when the
Secretary of the Treasury had only called
for subscriptions to 100000 900 bonds Will
add 10 the financial prestige of the United
States in much the same Elanrer as the
successes of the navy and the army have
added TO our prestige as a naval aEl mill
tary power. But while most people have a
full unders landing in a general way of the
remarkable success of the loan, few COM
prehend what a vast amount of work has
been accomplished by the Treasury De-
pSrtment since the Secretary invited sub

The United States has never before IN
dertaken a strictly popular loan. It's bonds
have been sold to the highest bidders

much increased in the department, it has
only been n matter of a few days 20 settle
the details Of the loan. The governn mt
had less than 300 persons TO deal with in
issuing S2G2,'soaOD bonds during the last
administration of President Cleveland. In

has had TO deal with less than 80 900

which are more or less complicated accord

order to encourage individuals of small

Gage announced, al tie beginning. that sub

In the loan and currency division of the
Secretary's Office there are clerks who have
lad experience with every government loan
during and since the civil war There are
clerks who were engaged on the refunding
operations from 1871 to 1879. and within
their experience no clerical undertaking by
the government in connection with any is
sue of bonds has ever eCualei that which is
involved in the war loan of 1898. 1t is very

Cuba, but the carefulness Of the
military leaders in not rushing

a little later and perhaps more
surely without, is most praise
worthy. The bravery OF the

Mothers who have young daughters of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first inn
portance. After the confinement Of the
school room, plenty of out-ofdoor exercise
should be taken. 1t is better that their
children never learn their D, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is self:evident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, if rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes,

school on account Of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking Of her case to q

MEET ToORGANiZE.
The Volunteers will Organize
and Elect Officers This
Evening.

All those who have signed the lists
circulated by II. +. Meyers and DIR.
F. RI. Nero as vOlunte ers,iOr the army
are called to meet at the city hall
this evening for the purpose Of Or
ganizing and electing officers. Any
one who has not signed and wishes
to will have an opportunity to do
so this evening. The program as
originally stated will he carried out
as far an possible. The company
will orga nize, elect officers and then
tender the company to Gov. Clough.
So far there are about "a names on
the RoyOltOn list and about s. on
the Little Falls lists. As ROyaltOn Ia
supposed to furnish twenty five men
and one officer, 1t IN probable that
the full list will be rendered to be
certain that there will lie sufficient
to fill their quota in case large
percentage fails to pass the examin-
alton. The total number of the
company will be log. and a list Of
names larger than will he necessary
to fill the company will be rendered
81 that the ranks will lie full after
the examinations are made.
According to arrangements Little
Falls will furnish the captain and
second lieutenant, and Roy alton the
first lieutenant. The Royalton boys
met last evening and elected Prof.
F. A Wildes, and although there will
he a large number present from Roy
ALTON tonight they will not take
any part in choosing the two officers
from this place. For the office OF
captain there seems to be no opposi-
ton to II. E. Movers. but there is
apparently u contest for the second
lieutenancy between Edward For
dyce and Walter Johnson.
The non-cOmmissiOned officers will
be appointed by the captain, and. VI
course, In selecting them the captain
will see that Royalton has it's share.
The ROyaltOn volunteers held an
election for first lieutenant Friday
evening, and Prof. Wildes was elected.
On the first vote member Of the
company. Leopold, received about a
third OF the votes, but tue election OF
Wildes " as made unanimous. Leo
pold has been a member Of the regu
lar army for several years. Royal
ton will furnish at least twenty-five
members of the Morrison county
company, and will be allowed to
select the first lieutenant. The cap
tain and second lieutenant will be
chosen from Little Falls. and by the
members of the company other than
those from Royalton. Several OF the
Roy alton members will come up to
the company meeting this evening.
but 1t Is not expected that the full
force from that village will turn out
this evening.

company's northern Iowa and

made his customary monthly visit
to the Minneapolis market the first
OF this week. Like every statesmen
Mr.. Pentield admits that orders are
not quite 80 plentiful as they were
the first OF last month. He has no
complaint to make OF the Iowa
trade, and says that he has found
that Iowa dealers are buying es
much as customary. He explains
the present falling off In the demand
By the fact that the dealers bought
heavily earlier IN the year
than usual, and are now pretty well
supplied with lumber. Then.
too, farmers are so busy looking
after their crops in the anticipation
of u big harvest and high prices that
they at present have no thoughts OF
building. Mr.. Pentield says that he
never saw the corn in Iowa and the
wheat In southern Minnesota look
az fine as it does at present. which
would Indicate a big fall trade.
