A BUSINESS SECRET.
How the Best Sauerkraut Is Made in
Magdeburg,

How the Best Sauerkraut Is Made in
Magdeburg.
The best German sauerkraut is made
in Magdeburg, but when one attempts
to ascertain how it is made he en-
counters an insuperable obstacle
business secrets. The manufacturer
politely replies to all inquiries; "My
recipe is what makes my business
profitable. If | gave it to you, you
could make the same sauerkraut. The
fame of Magdeburg would thus be
dimmed, and what would become OF
the orders which mean so much to
me?' The process of manufacture,
emitting business secrets, is about as
follows: Several heads of white cab
bage. a fresh as possible, are cut into
fine, long shreds. They are placed in
layers in barrels, or kegs, and salt
strewed over each layer, using one
half a pound of salt for each twenty
five cabbages. The mass is pressed
down with clean feet, wooden shoes,
or heavy stamper. A cover is put on
the barrel and upon this heavy stone.
This presses the sauerkraut more and
and conserves it better. The sauer-
kraut must then be allowed to fer
ment in cellar for from three to
eight days according to the tempera-
ture of the room. The barrel then is
closed tightly and kept in a cool place
preferably in cellar Fancy grades
of sauerkraut are produced by pouring
white wine into the barrels after they
have been filled. Apples chopped fine
sometimes are mixed with the cab
bage.

duced into our state senate as check
to the growing industry which pro-

far as it goes, but it isn't elastic

He thought he was doing service for
literary aspirants. But, strange to say,
he blindly overlooked the clergy. No
doubt some of them need protection
from these bureau cormorants and
from these syndicated sharks. Think
Of the temptation it is for an ener-

hand-me-down sermon shops and say:

The Monk fish and the Dog.

A monkfish made quick meal of an
Eastport dog Saturday noon and was
captured a short time later near one
of the sardine factory wharves, says
the Lewiston (Me) Journal. Very few
monkfish are seen in Passamaquoddy
bay, but at different times they are
found of large size and have been
known to come to the surface suddenly
and gobble up any sea bird that hap
pens to be on the water. They are
among the homeliest fish that are
found along the neighboring coast. the
mouth being unusually large, and fish
ermen have known them to swallow
objects nearly as large as themselves
In appearance they resemble big

Perhaps no class of professional peo-
Pile receive such numbers of strange,
pathetic and oftentimes humorous let
ters as do clergymen. To them the
minds of the writers are freely op-

not successful in matrimonial ven
ture wrote the following to a certain
divine:

with her skill and her private hero
kept pace with both. The climax came
when, during a short absence Of her
father, she roped and branded twenty
Of the finest and widest steers on the
ranch. Wishing to avoid bankruptcy,
Mr. Mulhall made haste to repeal the
law.
Miss Agnes Mulhall the elder daugh-
ter, is as accomplished ranchwoman
as her little sister and is also fine
musician and elocutionist. She Is best
known for her championship of the
Dalton gang of outlaws, whom she be-
lieves to have better qualities than
they are credited with-and better, she
asserts, than some of the officers Of the
law who hunt them. The Dalton
brothers stopped at the Mulhall ranch
one night and asked for nights lodg-
ing 1t was granted them. Miss Null
hall entertained them as ceremonious-
ly as if they had been bank presidents.
She played. sang, recited and con-
versed on topics far removed from
their crime-stained and harassed lives.
The outlaws were captivated and soft
ened. They had probably never met
more cultured woman before; they
had certainly never been entertained
with the same delicacy and considera-
ton.
They treated Miss Mulhall with In
finite respect and departed in the
morning with many expressions of
esteem and gratitude. On her part,
the impression from the encounter was
such favorable one that she will not
hear word said against the Daltons.

Field Glasses Endangr Officers.

In spite of the many precautions
taken by the English in South Africa
with regard to dressing their officers in
exactly the same fashion as their men,
so as to avoid the Boer sharpshooters
picking them out and shooting them,
the casualties among the officers have
by no means been diminished. The
reason for this is that the enemy's
practced eye has discovered that field
glasses are used only by those in
command, and as the suns rays prac-
tically heliograph to the sharpshooters
when glttering on the glasses the po-
sition of the British officers, the dam
ger to them remains the same. This
is how the earl of Airlie met with his
death, not by a stray or chance bullet,
but by regular shower of lead shot at
him through the reflection, of the solar
rays onto his field glass. 1t is claimed
that when Sir George Colley lost his
life on that fatal crest of Majuba hill,
which proved too hot a place for the
English years ago, the bullet which
killed him drove some of the glass
from his military telescope into the
wound, from which it would appear
that field glasses were even then a
singularly dangerous landmark.

SHE is A COWGIRL.
A REMARKABLY YOUNG WOMAN
OF OKLAHOMA.
One Of the Chief Attractions at the
Recent Reunion of Rough Riders
Il Married and Has Two Pretty
Daughters.
Especial Letter.

Miss Lucille Mulhall is the most re-
markable Cowgirl in the west. Re-
Gently she was, next to Teddy Roose-
velt, the greatest attraction at the
Rough Riders reunion at Oklahoma
City, Okla. There she gave an exhibi-
ton of her prowess and received the
plaudits Of thousands. Although she
weighs only 80 pounds she can break a
broncho, lasso and brand a steer and
shoot coyote at 500 yards. She can
also play Chopin, quote Browning, con-
strue Virgil, and make mayonnaise
dressing.
Mrs. Mulhall has two famous daugh-
ters, and although she is intensely
proud of them she shrinks from the at
tention they attract. Miss Agnes Null
halls adventures suggested to Hoyt
the plot of "A Texas Steer" and her
own figure may be recognized as the
heroine of the play. Her little sister
won renown by killing Lobo wolf
and last fall took premiums for las
soing wild steers against competitors
from every part of the COW country
from Canada to Mexico.
At the Rough Riders reunion Miss
Lucille matched her skill and courage
against the world of cowpunchers, and

Tire FIXTURE KlondiISe.

M. Rabot, a prominent French min
ing engineer claims that the next
Klondike will be found in Lap1and.
This belief he bases on the fact that
the geological conditions of the two
regions are most similar and that gold
has been found for many years in the
valleys of some of the rivers flowing
into the Arctic. The sand of tribu-
tary of Lake Enara, in Finnish Lap
land, he declares, is far richer than
that of California or Siberia, o cubic
meter yielding three and quarter
grains of gold. All efforts to find the
mother rock have been thus far un-
successful, but such has been the sue
cess of the prospectors that machinery

Some Patients Think They Are Soda

fluctuations

There are many queer cases Of de-
mentia and in nearly every city in the
country mildly insane people may be
encountered on the streets. One pecu-
liar case-the hallucination of a double
rsonality-recently came under a
Chicago physicians notice, writes a
correspondent When | would ask the
patient, says the physician, How are
you feeling this morning?" she would
look far away and say, THE doctor
would like to know how you are feeling
this morning." She of course imagined
that she was sort of double person,
one personality subjective, the other
objective, Or perhaps, she thought she
was two persons. She thought l was
inquiring for the health of the obJec-
tive OF secondary person. In few mo-
ments after she had repeated my ques-
tion as If to another and looking as if
she saw third person some distance
away she would suddenly turn to me
and say, She says she is feeling first
rate today" Then perhaps l would
ask, Are you going out riding this
afternoon" Again she would turn as
if addressing someone else and say:
The doctor wants to know if you are
going out riding this afternoon" Again
she would pause as if listening to a
reply and then she would say to me:
She thinks she may go out for lit
tie while if it is a pleasant. afternoon"
All of the questions asked of the pa
tient were always answered in perfect
accord with her own condition, opin-
ions, inc1inations, etc. That is, when
she spoke Of the imaginary person be-
ing well she herself was we'll And
quite often heard her talk as if carry

A somewhat common hallucination of
an insane person is the belief that he

brittle substance. They warn everyone
who approaches not to touch them for
fear they will be shattered in pieces

even then insists that no food has
gone inside of him, and that he has
had no nourishment whatever.
Very often the insane become pos
sessed with the idea that they are apt
to become contaminated with anything
which they touch or which touches
them. They allow no one to touch
them, and if they happen to let their
hands touch even door knob or any
thing whatever they instantly plunge
them in water and wash them thor
oughly.

So many stories of the wonderful

Nome have been published that the
account of Walter Kane, who works

there, will be received with bewilder-

has Just reached Tacoma, Cape Nome
is good place to keep away from.
He says:
ANY man who is making living
here who would go up there is the
next thing to crazy. 1t is nothing
more than transportation scheme,
and the proof of it is in the fact that
of all the steamers that have come
have been working for more than a
year, no gold has been brought down.
When the Klondike was discovered
and the first steamers came down they
brought the gold. That talked for it.

down from Nome.
Nome is the most desolate country
on earth, and when you see scores Of
women wandering aimlessly about the

going to live if they stay there, OF
how they are going to get out, it
