Cooking In SMezien.

A lady who has just returned to this
country from the Land of the Midnight
Sun said to Philadelphia Press re-
porter: After we had seen our fill of
rocky headlands and enchanted lakes
and fjords, we went to a seaside re-
sort, where we had rooms overlooking
the water, and went to a matsal, or
'meatroom, for our meals, as every
one does in Lysekil. We had a special
table and were waited upon with the
never-failing amiability by special
waitress, and we paid for one party of
four $1,000 per week for our meals.
What did we get to eat? Not canned
peas or skinned milk or tough chick
en-. For breakfast we had meat, eggs,
tea, coffee, delicious fish and fancy
breads. For dinner soup, fish, meat
and dessert, the whole preceded by
the Swedish smorgasbord, which is a
sort OF side table where all sorts of
relishes are laid out. Rarebits, eggs.
sandwiches, raw or picked herrings,
with chopped onions, sliced sausages,
caviare, anchovies, cheese, sardines.
pickles and salted and savory meats
are served in endless variety, and.
though tourists usually fight shy of the
smorgasbord, we became perfect
Swedes as far as 1t was concerned. We
had such good time in Lysekil and
saved so much of our precious pelf
that we were able at the end OF our
stay to take trip to Paris for few
days shopping. a dinner at the Am
bassedeur's. and u peep at the budding

illustration of the truth Of the old saw,
"a bird in hand is worth two in the

house to be built was fairly well-to-
do. He wasn't wealthy, but he was
earning comfortable living. He got
a letter one day from Germany in
forming him that he had fallen heir
to $5O0,0OO by the death Of a hitherto
unknown person, to whom he was next
of kin. The fortune was both unex-
pected and unsolicited. A correspond
ence was opened with the lawyer who
sent the news and the papers and let
ters received from MIN seemed to prove
the claim Of the Pittsburg heir. They
put such good face on the matter,
at any rate, that he was able to bor-
row money on them. His first thought
was of a palatial home, into which he
intended to put 100000 of the money.
He began the building of it before he
got the 100000 in his possession. 1t

magnificent inside. A bathroom was
built in it that is a work OF art. It is
of marble, art tile and silver-plated
fixings. 1t is said to have cost $4,000.
The mural decorations, or at least
those that are finished, represent an
expenditure of twice as much money.
Everything inside was on the same ele-
giant and ornate scale. The money to
keep the work going, pending the set
tlement of the German estate, was
raised on mortgages and on what
might be called expectation notes."

rather, collectible, until the expecta-

OF the men who had mortgage be-

1t was found that it existed solely on
the paper furnished by the lawyer in
Germany, VINO had been retained in
the case and was receiving money for
expenses incurred in prosecuting the
claim of the heir. The work on the
house was tied up. Neither the exter-
ior nor the interior was finished. 1t
stands that way to-day and the cost Of
it so far has been $4,000. A lawyer,
or an alleged lawyer, started the game,
and the only persons likely to come
out ahead in it are the other lawyers
who are now getting into it. The
house, it is said, will remain in its
present condition until It gets through
the courts.

length of lines. The Chilean govern
ment seems to be gradually acquiring
the roads, and 1T is also building new
ones.
There is no place in the world where
it is easier to build a road than in the
Argentine pampas. The tracks go for
hundreds of miles over land which Is
perfectly level and so solid that but
little ballast is needed One of the
chief expenses is in the matter of ties
There are no trees on the pampas, and
all kinds of lumber must be imported
The most of the ties come down the
Parana river from Paraguay The
favorite kind is of quebracho or other
hard woods, which are SO heavy that a
single tie will often weigh 200 pounds.
The WOOD is so hard that spikes can
not be driven into it without first Dor
ing holes for them. After the rails are
once fixed it is impossible to draw the
spikes out. Such ties are very eXpen-
Sive, so much SO that the Southern rail-
road, not long ago, tried the expert
ment of importing ties from Australia,
because they were cheaper than the
Paraguay ties.
HOW RAILROADS ARE BUILT.
The most of the railroads are in the
hands of the English. Some have been
built much like our roads at nome with
a heavy capitalization and with their
ups and downs on the stock market 1t
is safe to say, however, that more
than half billion dollars has been ac-
tually spent in constructing railroads
through the Argentine. In 1896 the cap
ital stock of the roads footed over $780,

who are familiar with the raid on the
Mortified bank and the subsequent
capture of the Youngers and the escape
OF the James brothers, that the split
between the Youngers and James was

commander Booth-Tucker says that the
salvation Army farm colonization experiments
IN California. Colorado and Ohio have had a
prosperous year, and that the project of max
ing poor people self-supporting and independ-
ent by transplanting them in the country is
a success. The benefciaries of the plan take
kindly to the change from city pauperism to
the life of farmer, and the work is to be en-
larged. AS fast as land can be secured and
means for coonizing it obtained new centers
will be started. According to a report Just
issued the Salvation Army owns LAPS
acres of farming land worth s111,0OO. Two
hundred colonists are living on these farms,
