DID HIS OWN COOKING.
Disastrous Experiment Made with Rice
by North Side Citizen.

Disastrous Experiment. Made with Rice
by a North Side Citizen.
While his wife and baby were paying
a Thanksgiving visit to her former
home in Iowa a certain north slider
kept bachelor quarters. Before going
away the wife informed her liege lord
he would find plenty to cook in the
pantry, but added warningly that he
better not try it if he did not feel equal
to the task. For a few days the hus-
band took his meals at a restaurant,
but he tired of this mode of living and
decided to try his hand at home cook
ing AS a result Of the experiment he
knows a great deal more about rice
now than he did before. The gentle
man in question thought boiled rice
would make a good dish, and about the
easiest thing to cook that he knew of.
He got two pounds of the cereal from
the grocery and proceeded to cook the
whole of it at once. He believed that
this amount would last him two meals.
The rice was dumped by him into a
: small dish and set on the fire. In
about fifteen minutes the rice began to
sven and run over, a portion was
taken out anu put 1nIO dHOineT OlSn,
| but the rice continued to swell, until
the husband had every dish in the pan
| try smeared over with rice. He had no
idea that rice would act in that man
ner. His wife always seemed to him
to have an easy time in cooking it, At
last he gave up the effort as bad job.
| When the wife returned she found
partly-cooked rice in every dish in the
pantry, on the kitchen floor, and stains
of it on the stove She told a few
women friends of her husbands efforts,
and it was soon known in every home
| in the block His male friends are now
all smoking at his expense, and Mr..
Northsider is convinced that rice is ex-
pensiYe food.

Freedmen were constantly rising to the
control of the Roman empire, and one

so little, the grand viziers of Turkey,

is, the disabilities of women in Asia
are habitually overrated. Their legal
position as wives and daughters is bad,
but as mothers they are greatly reyer-

and even as wives and daughters they
have brains and tongues The man

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.

TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. Boy a
strictly party vote OF 20 to 80 the
house yesterday passed the bill regu-
lating the freight and passenger rates
of Kansas railroads and providing for
the settlement of strikes. The bill
was put through under party whip
and spur by the votes pied ged to the
governor before the call for the extra
session was made.
When the house met every door was
guarded. The galleries were crowded
20 suffocation and no vacant space
could be found in representative hall.
When the bill was called for consider
alton in committee of the whole, Fair
child OF Kingman took .the chair.
The house was under the greatest ten
sion.
Barley of Elk was the leader on the
Populist side, and surrounding him
sat dozen of the faithful, who were
ready with second. Barley stood
at his desk and the moment section
had been read he, without waiting to
be recognized by Glenn Fairchild, who
was in the chair, would shout: ''Move
the adoption, Mr.. Chairman Then
Fairchild would put the question and
a thunder of ayes on the Populist side
and scattering noes on the Republican
side settled the business.
Dec. 31.-The Senate passed the
railroad bill by vote of 26 to 49,
without amendment or debate. Thurs
days scenes in the House were dupli-
Gated. The only opportunity given to
discuss the bill was the five minutes
allowed in explaining each vote. A
resolution asking the Kansas delega-
ton in Congress to vote against
seating Roberts of Utah on &C
count of his polygamistic tenden-
cies was adopted. Senator Lupfer
introduced a bill for the repeal
Of the metropolitan police law. A
similar bill is pending in the house
ready for final passage. The insurance
tax bill, generally known as webb
McNall's BILL passed by vote of IS
to o. All of the Republican members
present voted with the Populists for
the measure. It taxes all insurance
companies operating in Kansas 2 per
cent on the gross premiums received
from policy holders residing in the
| state. The senate also passed the
Ryan bill creating a state society of
mines similar to the state agricultural
society, and placing the mining indus
try of the state under the charge of a
superintendent of mining industry,
who shall take the place of the present
Office of mine inspector. The superin-
tendent will be chosen by the miners
themselves.
In the house Mr.. Brown of Pratt,
chairman of the committee on rail-
roads, introduced a bill supplemental
to the railroad law. 1t prohibits any
public officer from receiving or using
passes or free transportation, and rem
iers any violation of this law subject
to forfeiture of office. In committee
Of the whole number of bills were
reported back to the house with the

MANIToBA's CAPACITY,
Enough Wheat to Supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.

She Requires from Abroad.
Toronto, Nov. 10.-The world"
comments on the report of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity OF
Canada as a granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of forty-seven
million acres. Deducting ten million
for lakes, rivers, town sites and waste
land. 1000, 900 acres are left for farm
cultivation or homes for 900 famil-
les on 800 acres each, and as up to now
there are only $1,000 farmers there al
together, that leaves room in one prov
ince for 89,00S more wheat growers.
Supposing, then, we got them there
and each one of them out Of his 800
acres grew on an average 100 acres at
20 bushels to the acre; if you figure it
up you will find it is quite possible for
Manitoba alone to supply us with all
the wheat we require from abroad. It
is only a question of money and COM
paratively speaking not money either.
The cost of one first-class battleship
(about f750,000 would put 5000 fam
lilies onto farms in the Northwest, al
lowing f150 to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, etc., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, means an
extra 100000 bushels, for if that
scheme is not liked Britain would put
duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands of Manitoba there
are the millions of acres in Assiniboia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.

How Nocturnal Discords Raised an I'M
quenabIe Social Row in Rome.
The death of the empress of Austria
has served to revive many old stories
Of her aversion to conventionality, but
in this she was far excelled by her sis
ter, the former queen of Naples, who,
after her husband had lost his throne,
took up her residence at Rome with the
king and her child. She occupied a
palace adjacent to that inhabited by
the mother of Cardinal AntonelIi, the
papal secretary Of state. The aged lady
was passionately devoted to cats, and
these animals, in accordance with their
invariable custom, were wont to make
the otherwise exquisite Roman nights
hideous with their concerts. The queen
repeatedly sent to the old Countess An
tonell1, entreating her to keep her cats
under proper restraint, at any rate at
night. This the countess refused to do.
At length the queen became desperate,
purchased several saloon rifles and air
guns and proceeded to shoot the dis
turbers Of her rest. The old countess,
frantic with rage, appealed first Of all
to her son, the secretary Of state, and
then to the late pope himself, insisting
that some check should be put upon
the sporting proclivitjes Of the royal
Diana, and that she should be debarred
from potting cats under the very
shadow OF the walls Of St. Peters and
the vatican. But the good pope de-
eliaed to interfere, intimating that the
cats should not have made such hor-
rible noises and that they practically
deserved their fate. For q long time
Rome laughed about this cat episode,
popular sympathy being all with the
former queen, though it Is doubtful
whether Cardinal Antonelli ever forgot
or forgRve the injury done to bis moth
er's pets At any rate, the queen and
her husband found it preferable year
