What we In New England call drop
ped eggs all the rest Of the country
call poached eggs, but am going to
stick to the name in spite Of every
thing and call the method I am going
TO give you now dropped eggs"
Put one quart OF boiling water, one
teaspoonful OF salt and one teaspoon
full OF vinegar In frying pan. Place
In the pan as many muffin rings As
there are eggs to be dropped and set
the pan where the water will just bub-
BILE at one side. Break each egg care
fully and drop It into a ring. II an
egg seems not exactly fresh. or II the
yolk breaks, do not use 1t. Cook until
the whites OF the eggs are firmly set,
then gently pour OF the water, remove
the rings and lift the eggs with a cake
turner; place them on slices Of butter
ed toast aud serve at once. Putting
them In muffin rings makes It much
easier to do them and bring them out
whole. 1t may take q little practice
to serve a dish perfectly, but when
once you get the knack you will won
der that you ever had any trouble or
thought 1t once hard to do.-Woman's
Home Companion.
Big Animals of Long Ago.
Most of the gigantic animals OF geo
logical eras belonged to species which
have completely vanished and OF those
which have living representatives 1t Is
difficult TO say whether they have un-
dergone a true change of size or
whether the modern examples are
merely suryivals Of smaller contempt
rary varieties. The larger animals
have a tendency to disappear first in II
partial failure of food supply. Gigantic
armadillos closely resembling those
OF the present day We're formerly
abundant in South America. The re.
mains OF huge sloths are found In Gu
ba and North America. Sharks attain
ing a length OF more than 100 feet are
found In comparatively recent fossil
deposits. Another fish which repre-
sents a larger prehistoric species IL the
American bony pike. which Is one OF
Of the few suryivals OF the enormous
ganolds Of the secondary strata. The
tiny nautilus OF the present day had
kindred 10 or II feet long in early
times. Another small shellhsh. the
pteropod, whose delieately complex
structure Is packed In an inch OF shell
IL found in fossil remains to have
reached the respectable length OF
couple of feet.

Mr.. John Barrett, says that today the
marvel of business interests in northern
China is the development of the market
for American cotton goods in Manchuria.
He states that the great northern
provinces of China now require $1,000
600 worth of our cottons and there is
no valid reason why they should not
in ten years from now consume $4,000
600 worth. But it is not cotton goods
alone that we shall sell to northern
China. In the development of that vast
and populous region there will be a de-
mand for many things which we can
supply.
The action of Russia is also highly i'm
portant in its political aspect. 1t relieves
the Chinese situation of a cause of ap-
prehension and materially simplifes Il
problem that threatened to be very
troublesome. Russia has greatly in
creased her claim to the friendship Of
the world.

Chicago Tribune: 1t would seem that the
converted infdel in Toledo who is preparing
to cremate his atheistic library burns to
distinguish himself.
Indianapolis Journal: II the Mormon
elders in the south are preaching mis-
chievous heresies and breaking up families
there is sufficient law to stop them without
the aid of mobs. During the past two weeks
fifty Mormon missionaries have been mobbed
in southern towns
Boston Transcript: 1t Is the opinion OF
Rev. Sam Jones that lngersoll never did
one-half of the harm committed by the
Brlggses, the Potters, the Lyman Abbotts,
and others of like kidney" 1t is evident
that the Rev. Sam is more of an expert in
the lower than in the higher criticism.
Brooklyn Eagle: The southerners who
are whipping the Mormon missionaries and
tearing down their buildings are not doing
half so much as they think to unpopularize
the faith of Salt Lake. Free speech is
allowed in America, and the preaching of
a religion Is not a cause for violence and
murder.
Minneapolis Times: At New Brunswick.
N. j., Rev. G. w. Swan of the African
Methodist church found his prayer meet
ings were poorly attended. Last week he
hit on a plan. and there was a mighty out
pouring of the people. Between the prayers
and exhortations slices OF watermelon were
passed around. The plan fired the African
heart.
Baltimore American: The aid of the ma
terial in drawing attention to the spiritual
was illustrated by the resourceful strategy
of a colored minister in New Jersey, who
had slices Of luscious watermelon passed
around between prayer and exhortation. AS
a result his meetings were crowded, and
sermons and watermelon were equally well
digested.
Buffalo Express: II the minister who
Joined in marriage two of the parties IN
terested in that famous divorce suit last
winter really was worried into his grave
by the talk it occasioned, this killing of the
wrong person is a clear case on the part
Of the public of smashing the eleventh COM
mandment-'mind your own business 1t
Just wasn't any affair of the sensational
newspapers at large whether this minister
did right or did wrong in performing the
or whether he was laboring
under a mistake as to the lime that had
elapsed since the divorce had been granted;
if he was under obligations to any earthly
body to prove his general good character
and his innocence of intention in this par
ticular matter it was to his own congrega-
ton, and this company in a printed circular
eXonerated him from all blame in their eyes.

land league, having for its object the break
ing up Of the grazing syndicates which have
obtained control of large tracts OF land. The
purpose of the new league is to restore
these lands to cultivation and divide them

against land Capitalization and has already

Methodist circles are much agitated over
! the exposure Of a crooked deal successfully
engineered by Rev. Edwin Schell, secretary
Of the Epworth league. Schell made a con-
tract with a publishing house In Chicago to

ton of giving the house exclusive rights
| Schell was given a commission amounting
TO $1,000 a year, which, with a salary Of
"a, 500 a year, made him feel quite COM
Portable. But he made the mistake of put
ting the contract in writing. Charges Of
dishonesty were brought against him and

tence and hang on to his salary. Now comes

and a demand for "Schell's dismissal from
an Office he has dishonored."

Various estimates have been made of
the amount annually paid by American
manufacturers and producers to foreign
shipowners, ranging from S~lO0,00O,OOO
to $500, 100000, it being impossible TO
obtain even approximately accurate fig
ures. A few years ago the Treasury de
partment estimated the amount at $780,
100000 and the best authorities gener-
ally agree on this sum. The Philadel-
phia Press has looked up statistics bear
ing on the subject and concludes that
that amount Is not far from correct, its
figures being S1S2, 100000 as the sun
paid to foreigners.
The Press says that IL by legislation,
as proposed at the last session of con
gress, we could save one-half that sum
sol 100000 annually-it can easily be
seen what an enormous gain that would
be to our people. "At least % per cent
of that sun would go to labor in build
ing, maintaining and running the ships.
That would give employment at 81 n
day to 130,S30 men for every day in the
year excepting Sundays. That money
would be distributed in about every
trade in the United States. That vast
army of men would support families
and the additional consumption of farm
products and manufactures Of every
kind would be enormous
The policy of depending OF foreign
shipowners to carry nearly all of our
foreign commerce is certainly n very
costly one in the actual money paid out,
but this is not all the cost. Unques-
tionably such dependence loses us trade
that we would get if we had an ade-
Quate merchant marine. 1t would seem
that If the people were to give closer
attention to this matter than they have
ever done there would be a practically
unanimous sentiment in favor of leg
islation that would give us American
built ships for carrying u foreign
commerce. 1t is difficult to understand
how anyone capable of realizing the
magnitude of the amount annually paid
to foreigners can doubt the expediency
Of such legislation.

NEW FACTOR FOR GOOD ROADS.

The rapid introduction Of automobile
factor in the movement for good roads
which promises to give 1t Il more power
full impetus even than that which was
drawn from the rise and spread of the
bicycle.
What the bicyclists have accom-
plished in the improvement of Il
try and city roads is plainly apparent
in every state in the union. BY sys-
tematic agitation and cooperative work
the bicycle riders have awakened the
public authorities to the Importance of
substantial and well-kept roadways and
have also carried on an agitational prop
uganda that has enlisted with them
every n who recognizes the benefits
that accrue from good roads.
Were it not for the road improvements
already made it is doubtful whether
the country would be ready for the auto
mobiles, and now with the advent of
the self-propelling vehicle the necessity
for still further work in this direction
is more forcibly impressed upon the
people. Only last week an organization
was incorporated in New York state
under the name of the Automobile Club
of America for the ayowed purpose of
taking an active part in promoting legis-
lation for good roads. 1t is stated that
the organization will be national in its
scope and expects to have 800 applica-
tions for membership by October /. In
general it will seek to protect the in
terests of the automobile owners every
where, being modelled on similar organ
izations that have been chartered in

Money to Move the Crops.
pnnnrl

THE "need of more money In the west
with which to move the crops'-the argu-
ment annually urged for the tightening of
the money market-falls fiat this year. The
banks of the west are able to furnish the
funds required without eastern assistance.
The crop moving rbugbear has. however,
served as the fimsy excuse for a new issue
of government gold certificates. The GER
~tifcates are doubtless a great accommoda-
ton to holders of gold who do not wish to
store it, and who do not wish to part with
its ownership. To the extent, however, that
the certificates prevent the free circulation
of gold currency, and to the extent that un-
der certain circumstances they facilitate the
exhaustion of the treasury reserve, the re-
sumption of their issue must be deemed a
mistaken policy.

AN IMPORTANT CONCESSION.

In n note to the Russian minister of
finance the czar has announced that
Talien-Wan Is to be a free port, open on
equal terms to the merchant ships of
all nations. This is n most important
concession to the of the world
and an unlooked-for act Of liberality on
the part Of Russia. While that govern
ment has allowed it to be understood
that 1t did not intend to discriminate
against the commeAial interests of
other nations in the Chinese territory
under its control, the general impress
sion has been that Talien-Wan was to
be an exclusively Russian port. 1t was
very generally assumed that Russia was
unalterably hostile to the 'open door,
and that her purpose was to gradually
extend her tariff laws and trade re-
strictions over all Of the territory
leased from China.
This has been the view Of that most
ardent British advocate of the open door
in China, Lord Charles Beresford, and of
American writer's on Chinese affairs,
They have urged that it was idle to ex-
pect any consideration from Russia for
the commercial interests of other ma
lions, that the purpose of that power
was to completely Russianize Manchuria
and the adjacent provinces and that an
essential condition to this was discrim-
ination in favor OF Russian trade. 1t
was a quite natural opinion in view of
the past record of the Russian govern
ment, but there is now n more enlight-
ened, liberal and progressive statesman
ship there than ever before. The car
himself has taken a leading place among
the advocates of peace. His finance
minister is a man of distinguished
ability and In sympathy with the spirit
of the time. Russia may still desire
territorial acquisition in China, may aim
TO still further extend her power in that
empire, but evidently she does not pro-
pose TO do this at the risk of a conflict
with other nations for the defense of
their commercial interests there.
The opening of Talien-Wan as a free
port means more to the United States
than 10 any other nation. AS the open
door OF northern China, where our chief
trade is, the action of Russia cannot but
be Of Unreasonable advantage TO this
country. Our former minister to Slam,

CHAMP ovERsHooTS THE MARK.

Congressman Champ Clark has the
well-earned reputation of being an un-
compromising Jacksonian democrat. 1t
goes without saying that he could not
have kept himself in the saddle in Pike
county, Missouri, IL he had not been
co~pper-distilled and square-toed on every
plank in every democratic platform. 1t
is doubtless only because Champ feels
so thoroughly secure in his footing with
his Missouri constituents that he talked
so wild and reckless at the picnic of Ne
braska Jacksonians.
In %pronouncing the Chicago platform
to be a second Declaration of indie
pendence Champ Clark only re-echoes
the utterances of Bryan. But when he
solemnly declares his belief that Bryan
was elected president Of the United
States in 1896 on n fair count he i'm
peaches the courage and patriotism or
the man who was nominated for presi-
dent on the Chicago platform. If it
were true, as he insists, that Bryan was
counted out by fraud it was the duty Of
Bryan to have asserted his rights to the
position to which his champion says he
was honestly elected. But Bryan not
only promptly and gracefully acknowl-
edged himself distanced in the race by
sending Mckinley a congratulatory tele-
gram, but later offered his services to
President Mckinley in the var against
Spain.
If Champ Clark really believes that
Bryan was really elected on q fair count
of the ballots why did he not exercise
his privilege as. a member of congress
to institute a congressional investigation
into the alleged frauds? Why does he
at this late day seek to undermine pop
ular confidence in American institutions
by unsupported charges that strike at
the very root Of our form of self-govern-
ment?
Fortunately such outbursts of rank
~partisanship overshoot the mark, be-
cause they insult the intelligence Of the
COMMON people.

When Governor Poynter says he

means, of course, one particular news
paper. Had the governor made an ap-
peal in behalf of the regiment to the

subscriptions in it's own name he would
have met with a cordial response from
