When the city of Omoha decided tn
nave It's Greater American exposition,
who said that such an event. coming
so soon after the Trans-Mississippi ex-
position of last year, would be doomed
to certain failure.
That such is not the case is being
proved by the crowds who are daily
flocking to Omaha's fair grounds to
take iRrtm sights now to be seen at
that e~nterprising city. This Greater
American exposition plan was born OF
the suggestion that the American peo-
pie would appreciate such a timely ex-
ploitation of the characteristics of the
peoples and countries which have fallen
under the protection of Uncle Sam dur
ing the last year or two In view of
this fact, the exposition has been made
distinctly colonial and tropical in char
acter, a feature being made of these
Cuban, Hawaiian and Filipino matters
in which our countrymen are daily
manifesting a more active interest.
The promoters of the exposition,
through the friendly aid and co-opera-
ton of the heads of the several depart
ments OF the national government, have
secured very comprehensive and inter-
esting exhibits from cur insular colo
mics, notably from Cuba, Porto Rico,

The three subjoined deals and COM

played at Chicago and because of their
popularity and manner in which they
were played, were much discussed.
Ibis deal was played in one of the
open events at the recent whist con-
gress, which was of interest on &C
count of the differences of opinion as
to the best form of opening. Clubs
were trump and North he'd the lead.
Judge Bum, of ST. Paul, and Harvey
McCay, of Baltimore, both opened with
the 3 s. Potter. of Providence, open
ed with the 5 h. In each case they
met a Sam. But Nessen, of Detroit,
opened with the 4 d. and N. & S. made
two tricks on the deal. Here is the

EAGLES HOT FIGHT WITH A RAT
ER

Tom Carson, a Scranton, Pa, sew
ing machine agent, rode down a noun
tain read near Deep Hollow a few days
ago and saw a big fight between a rat
tlesnake and an eagle.
Il was riding leisurely," said Tom,
when | heard the shrill creams Of an
eagle, and, as / looked, he came down
like a shooting star and lighted on a
rattler five feet long. The bird was
one of the largest bald eagles and the
snake was a monster. The eagle, with
its crest thrown back. ran up to the
snake and gave 1t a blow over the head
with it's wings that completely stunned
1t lust as it was in the act OF striking
at him with all its force. Quickly the
eagle caught it in its talons, arose
about twenty feet in the air, gave 1t
a furious shaking and let it fall to the
earth, where 1t lay coiled, rafting and
Kissing in great wrath
"The eagle made a second attack In
the same manner as before, but the
snake watched its chances this time.
and, when the eagle was close enough,
thrust its head between his head and
wing, and, with a desperate erort,
wound itself around the eagles body,
and il looked for a moment as though
the powerful bird must die.
But with a violent flap OF his wings
he broke the deadly embrace, caught
the snake and gave it several jerks and
threw it down again. Twice again the
eagle carried the snake in the air and
dashed it to the ground, each time CIV
ing it a furious shaking for a moment.
! Then he rested, whirling slowly around
the snake, and then, making a dash,
carried it for a fourth time in the air,
and when he dashed II down again 1t
was dead. Then he gave 1t a final
shake. seized 1t in his talons, and, with
a steady flight, bore it TO a crag, the
highest in the nelghborhood."

z. and w. l3 tricks.
COMMENT.
Trick l. A perfectly legitimate open
ing, though the lead Of the 8 of dia-
monds will enable South to make his
knave of clubs and ace of spades. West
plays the 8 of clubs, a useless card,
unless it will hold the trick. East
echoes strength in trumps even on adj
v%ersaries' lead, as do the Detroit Club,
West shows his suit and puts partner
in with the low trump.
At Eon of the other tables was the
slam made. II West allows East to
take the first trick. there are seither
three tricks in spades made by North
and South. or two spade tricks and the
knave of clubs.
Here is a pretty example OF the Des-
chapelle Coup, which was played by
Mrs. Gertrude O'Brien and Miss Bessie
Allen. 1t took place on Deal % of the
Progressive Fours, on Friday after
noon Clubs were trumps, and South
had the lead.

nut on one hand with a fork during
this operation, so much the better for
your fingers. If you find that too much
bother have a lemon at hand to re-
move the stain when you have finished.
Next make the brine. Make enough to
cover the walnuts, allowing four
pounds of salt to each gallon of water.
Leave the walnuts in this for six or
seven DAYS. Then drain and pat on
a tray in the sun until they become
black. This may take two or three
days. Next place the walnuts in clean
lars. filing them within an inch of
the top. Scald vinegar enough to COW
er, allowing two ounces OF alisplce n
one ounce of ginger TO each quart OF
vinegar tying the spice in a piece on
thin muslin. Boil about ten n Il
and pour while hot over the Wainuts.
When cold tie down tightly in jars,
putting sealing wax or rosin about the
corks. or can in ordinary glass cans.
The pickle will be ready Tor use IN a
week, and will keep almost n length

GRAPES should be washed in cold fresh
water a few moments before serving.
The best way is to place them IN a
sieve and hold under the faucet. the
force OF the flowing water will quickly
cleanse them. If no running water is
at hand the next best method Is 10
shake the sieve quickly through a pan
of water. Let them remain in the sieve
until drained. !.
Peaches invariably discolor almost
Immediately after being sliced. Use
whipped cream instead of the plain TO
successfully cover the blemish. Pow
dered sugar should be used and not
granulated on fruits. Apples can be
easily polished with a cloth and a liz
tie rubbing enhances their beauty. Un-
cooked apples for eating ought to DC
| perfectly ripe. The more nutritious
and aromatic portion lies nearest the
| surface: hence baked or stewed apples
in their skins have a more delicious
taste than when pared.
The apricot may be used in almost
any recipe instead of the peach II de-
sired.
Watermelon should be cold when eat
en-. and should be kept on ice for some
hours before serving. The incest way
to serve them is to cut them into
halves or quarters before sending %
the table, and when serving guests to
scoop out with a large spoon In irreg-
ular shaped masses without the rind.
The fruit will look more dainty and
appetizing and the trouble with slip
perry rinds will be dispensed with.

The best cantaloupes have a dark

ing a spade in hope of keeping the lead
and making finally his last little
trump. All is plain sailing for East
and West until trick 10. East reads
the long spades in partners hand, and
plays the coup to force the Ace and put
her in to make the spades. Should
East lead the low diamond, West loses
her Queen and all chance OF making
the spades. The "coupers" made nigh
score.
