CANNING FACTORY.

Another industry receiving attention
Is that Of q canning factory Experts
from the East recently visited Logan,
and after investigation decided that it
would be an ideal location for such an

be easily raised and yield a large re-
turn, but It will also pack all kinds Of
fruits and pickles.

The factory would consume vast guam

A POTATO
The Reappearance of the Vegetables
Created Much Surprise.

Created Much Surprise.
l often wonder we had not more ac-
cidents in our cooking school, consid-
ering the Grass ignorance of our ladies,
says Lady Broome in Cornhill's Maya
zine. Oddly enough, the only alarming
episode came to us from a girl of the
people, n of four who had begged to
be allowed to act as kitchen maids.
Their idea was a good one, for, of
course, they got their food all day.
and were at least in the way of picking
up a good deal Of useful knowledge.
These girls also cleaned up after the
class was over, so saving the poor,
weary cooks, who early in the under
taking remarked with a sigh: THE
young ladies do make such a mess, to
be sure!" Well, this girl was very
steady and hard working, but abnorm-
ally stupid, saw fit one morning to
turn on the gas in certain stoves some
little time beforehand. The sheds were
so airy, to say the least of it, that
there was not sufficient smell to at
tract any ones attention, and the gas
accumulated comfortably in the stoves
until the class started work. 1t CHANGED
to be a lesson in cooking vegetables,
and potatoes were the object" About
twenty-five small saucepans had been
filed with water and potatoes, and the
next step was to put them on to boil.
l was not in that kitchen at the mo-
ment, or l hope l should have per-
ceived the escape and have had the
common sense to forbid a match be-
ing struck to light the gas in certain
stoves. But / was near enough to
near a loud "pouf,' followed by cries
of alarm and dismay, and | rushed
in while the potatoes were still in the
air, for they went up as high as ever
they could get. Happily no one was
hurt, though a good deal of damage
was done to some of the stoves; but
it was a very narrow escape, owing
doubtless, to the space and involuntary
ventilation of these same sheds. In
the midst of my alarm l we'll remem-
Der the ridiculous effect of that rain
of potatoes. Every one had forgotten
all about them and their temperance
created as much surprise as though
such things had eve existed.

The rumor comes from England that
the Grand Duke Michael, heir to the
car of Russia, will shortly plight his
troth to the charming little grand
daughter of Queen Victoria, the Prin-
cess Margaret of Connaught.
AS seen by European eyes this be-
trothal is one of the most important,
If not the most important, which is
likely to take place in years among
the imperial and royal families. And
this Importance lies in the fact that it
is hoped thereby to provide for the fu-
ture succession to the throne of Rus
STA.
Nicholas H., the present ruler of
Russia, has three daughters, but no
sons, and as the Russian imperial fam
lily law excludes women from the
throne, it seems very probable now
that the succession will not fall to the
lot of a descendant of the ~reigning
monarch.
1t was only last summer that Mi
chael became cZarewitch, an honor
which fell to him upon the death OF
14G liz q bUhC SCoIS So
who died of consumption.
The Princess Margaret of Connaught
is the oldest daughter of the duke of
Connaught, the third son of Victoria,
queen of England. She is really a very
pretty child, and it is not too much to
say that she is the most attractive Of
the queens granddaughters. Princess
Margaret was born in January, 1882,
and is just Is years old this month.
In royal families it has come to be
considered that from Is to 20 is a
very reasonable age for a princess to
be married, since through a marriage
thus early she learns to accommodate
herself to those peculiar conditions un-
der which a queen must live.
The girl princess is of slight, grace
full figure, has hazel eyes, brown hair,
and features extremely pleasant and
refined. Albeit her los is slightly re-
~trousse, this fact does not retract from
her n bit-rather adds a dash of
piquancy to her pretty features, writes
Mary L. Stevens in the Boston Home
Magazine. 1t was only during the
present year that Margaret put on her
first long dress-a creation which has
been described by one writer as a gar
ment that would not excite the envy of
American heiresses.
The father of the princess, the duke
of ~Connaught, is one of the generals
in the English army. The duke is one
of the most popular of the queens sons
and a loyal, patriotic Briton to the
core. Indeed, so true is this that he
absolutely refused a short time ago to
accept the heirship to the duchy of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, a sovereign state
in Germany, because the acceptance
would compel him to leave the English

portunity, dear to full many a woman's
heart, to absolutely rule the absolute
ruler of this immense kingdom.
Michael, the grand duke, was born
Dec. 4, 1878, and is just a little over 81
years of age. He is large, well knit to-
gether, and of exceptionally robust
health. His father, Alexander III,
was a man of remarkable physical
strength, it may be recalled, but his
health was exceedingly poor. He died

Tact in the management Of your
judge is a great thing. A certain we'll
known British treasury counsel was
driving over Blackfriars bridge n
day, on his way to Surrey sessions.
Noticing Sir Peter Edlin trudging
along in the mud and rain, he instantly
stopped his hanson and offered the
Sudge a lift" 1t was accepted, and
the pair proceeded to Newington in
great amity. Arriving, the learned
counsel hurried in, as he had an i'm
p~ortant application to make on the sit
ting of the court. To his horror and
surprise the said application was re-
fused. He vase dumfounded at the
sudden change in the demeanor of the
Judge until the usher, in a husky whis-
per, said: "Do you know what you've
6one?" mo! What is it?" why,
you ran in and left the judge to pay
for your cab"

A gentleman who failed on the New
York stock exchange the other day
made the following candid confession
of his position; Owing to the banks
refusing to certify our checks we are
obliged to suspend temporarily
There were, to be sure. some incidental
circumstances, such as the gentleman's
having bought 5000 shares of stock
without having any money to pay for
them. Perhaps the banks will try to
excuse themselves by showing that the
gentleman had no money in their
hands to meet the checks which they
discourteously refused to certify. But
there can be no doubt of the substan-
tial accuracy Of the gentleman's state
ment.

Aguinaldo's bravest warriors are
poor antagonists compared to the fe-

American soldier runs fewer actual
risks in battle than the Kentucky
statesman. The Filipino means to kill,
no doubt, but his equipment is usually
confined to n rifle and a few car
tridges, while it is not on record that
any Filipino has yet been caught with
five revolvers and a ten-inch bowie
knife on his person ready for bust
