Gambling i'm Switzerland.

A very large amount of gambling
goes on in Switzerland, writes &C.
neva correspondent. At Geneva, Lu-
cerne, Berne, Interlaken and various
other places licensed gaming tables
are permitted, the game of ''little
horses" being in vogue. Nominally the
maximum stake is five francs, but a
higher stake ds never refused. At
Geneva there is a licensed baccarat
club, where very large sums are lost
each evening, English and American
tourists forming the greater part of
the losers. Lausanne possesses a
cafe which has a room separately set
apart for poker, baccarat and other
games of chance, and, although in the
canton of Vaud public gaming is
against the law, the police take no
notice of this nightly scene of riot.

MUCH MARRIED PEOPLE.
Remarkable Matrimonial Records q,
Women Who Had Many
Husbands.

A Spanish journal has .unearthed a
remarkable case of woman who nas
six times been widow in six years
and is on the eve of taking a seventh
husband. This calls to mind other
notable cases of the sort. Lady Eliz-
nbeth Percy, in the seventeenth cen.
fury, was twice widow and three
times a wife before she was out. OF
her sixteenth year. The third man
who married this much-married girl
was the duke of Somerset, Charles
Seymour, who stood by the coffin of
Charles II. after his death and by
the throne of George II. at his
browning. He was a notable figure
in six reigns. He was well married
into the family which has become
known in history as the proud Per
cys." When his young wife, Lady
Elizabeth Percy, died, the duke be-
came the husband of Lady Charlotte
Finch, and it is recorded that when
his lady once tapped him on the
shoulder the duke turned round and
said: MADAM, my first wife was a
Percy, and she would never have
taken such a liberty"
John Evelyn in his diary tells a
story before which the record Of the
Spanish lady pales. edward the end

where they told us dwelt a woman
who had been married to her twenty

that she had ever made away with
any of her husbands, though the sus'

An American lady, DR.. Mary Spen'

town in North Wales. She was A at

CRYSTALLIZED FRUITS.
They Form q Delightful Adjunct t.
the HOusekceDer's Store of
Holiday Dainties.

The manufacture of these sweet
y meats is really quite simple matter,
coming easily within the capabilities
of the ordinarily clever housewife,
while the expense of preparing them
is very small. Of the various fruits
best adapted to this purpose, peaches,
pears and Plums, pineapples, cherries
and currants, are the, most generally
used, and are prepared as follows:
Stone the peaches, plums, etc., by
making a small incision in the side,
through which the seed is slipped,
pare and quarter the pears, and cut
the pineapple, into slices half an inch
in thickness, across the fruit. Weigh
and allow an equal quanoity of the
best white sugar, make rich. sirup,
adding one small cup of water to
each pound of sugar. Boil for few
minutes, together, then add the fruit
and cook gently until clear, but I'M
broken. Remove carefully on wire
strainer and let it stand about an
hour, or until perfectly cold, then
sprinkle literally with powdered sugar,
and stand the strainer on dish in
a moderately warm oven for two
hours. At the expiration of that time
turn the fruit, sprinkle as before with
the sugar, repeating the process until
the juice has quite ceased to drip,
and the outside is dry and crystal
ized. It is then removed from the
oven and allowed to get perfectly
cold, before being packed away in
small boxes between layers of waNed
papers. Thus packed and stored
away in a dry place, it will retain it's
perfect condition for an indefinite
length of time, forming charming
adjunct to the housekeeper's store of
"extras." 1t is perhaps necessary to
add word of caution in regard to
overheating the oven, the exact
amount required being ascertained by
experimenting, since too great a de-
gree of heat will most effectually
change a delicious sweetmeat into the
toughest of leather.-Good House.

How to Plant Plum Pits

In the planting of plum pits care
should be taken that they are-not too
dry, as dry and skriveled kernels are
of no value. This fact explains the
cause of many failures in the planting
of these pits. From the time the pits
are separated from the pulp they
should be kept slightly moist, Just
enough to prevent the drying-out
process from acting. Some men think
it best to break the shells to liberate
the kernels, but this is unnecessary,
and If the pits are left out of doors all
winter they will start to grow very
early in the spring.-Farmers' Re-
view.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1901-11-06

Potter agreed to do so and readily
consented to do all in her power to
make the recitations as effective as
possible.
The following Sunday evening, just
Us the rector finished his sermon, she
stepped in front of the audience and
with great feeling recited one of the
most touching hymns in the Epis-
copal hymnal. Many of the audience
were moved to tears. The church,
which had been packed in anticipa-
ton of the innovation, was as still as
the proverbial pinfall during the tai
ented woman's part of the pro-
gramme. Mrs. Potter was dressed all
in white and recited in low but per-
fectly distinct tone.
Mrs. James Brown Potter will be
remembered as the society woman
who foresook the social world for
the stage. Sixteen years ago she was
a belle at Newport and New York,
and her pretty home in Washington
square was the center of New York
life. But discomfort entered and Mrs.
Potter took to the stage. For many
years her husband expected her to re-
turn, but gradually hope died out and
it became known that the brilliant So
ciety bud had become no less . bril-
liant flower of the stage.
In the Potter home there was q
small. child, Anne Urquehart Potter,
called ''Fifi," who was. left to her ia
theirs care. Miss Potter recently
married Mr.. Stillman, son of the New
York banker. Between mother and
daughter during the many years that
have interviewed there has been little
communication. Once they met, some
years ago, but no tenderness passed
between them. ~ - II

Cultivation Kills Weed.

II the ground. is cultivated often
enough no weeds can grow, and if
the ground for crop is carefully pre-
pared before putting in the seed, by
deep blowing and frequent harrow
ing, the cultivation required after the
plants are up need not be more than
one inch deep. If this is done after
every rain there can be no weeds,
and they will become fewer every
year, while the cultivation will pre-

Great as 1t II, the Building of Inn
proved Roads Would Give 1t .
Wonderful Impetus.

Otto Dorner, of the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen, makes the following
interesting remarks on the good roads
movement:
'"The country road is che neglected
stepchild of the legislatures. Rail-
roads, canals, rivers and harbors and
steamship lines have been encouraged
and lavishly subsidized with bonuses,
but practically nothing is done to help
the farmer in building his country
roads. Yet these are equally important
with railroads.
eve are prominently an exporting
agricultural ma ton, and what ever ben
efits the farmer benefits the whole
country. Our grain products must COM
pete in European markets with the
crops of Russia, South America and
India, raised on cheap lands, with
cheap labor. We can meet this compe-
tition only with invention and enter
prise, the liberal use of machinery and
the reduction of the cost of transport
tation to minimum.
"The cost of shipping grain from
Chicago to New York has dropped to
one-ffth of what it was at the close
of the civil war; We can ship it from
there to Liverpool for four cents,
where we formerly paid 1912 cents.
But the cost in time and effort of man
and beast in hauling wheat from the
farm to the railroad can still be re-
ouced by two-thirds through good
roads. That this should be done is as
essential to the continued success of
American agriculture as the reduction
Of railroad rates.
"Some of the older eastern states,
recognizing the logic of the situation,
are encouraging country road build
ing by paying part of the cost out OF
the state treasury, provided the inn
provements are substantial. New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts and New York are
the leaders in this policy Of state aid,
which is being actively promoted by
the League of American Wheelmen.
Its efforts in the west have resulted in
the adoption of constitutional
amendment in Minnesota by a vote of
almost two to one authorizing the in
PRODUCTION of state aid, and in the
| passage of a similar amendment by
! the Wisconsin legislature. But these
are isolated instances
''The great grain-growing states Of
the west, whose roads have hardly
passed beyond the pioneer stage,
should adopt the state aid system as
the solution of their good roads prob
lem. 1t is the only plan by which the
| great cities can be made to share in the
| cost Of road. building.''

LEWISOHN DENIES SURPLUS
Declares the Copper Supply Is Not as
Large as Gossip Would Have
Poop1e Pa1ievo

Jesse Lewisohn, of the United Metals
Selling company, made emphatic denia;s
of the statement made by a Mr.. Casey,
who was formerly employed by the COM
pany, that it was carrying a surplus OF
copper in stock, which the market could
not absorb, says the New York Herald.
Mr.. Casey, in circular recently stated
that company, which is the joint selling
agent of the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany and the American Smelling and
Refining company. was accommodating an
immense amount of copper, because the
consumption was less than the produce
ton, and an effort was being made to
maintain the price by not pressing the
metal for sale. Mr.. LewisOhn said:
Mr.. Casey, during his connection with
the company. had absolutely no oppor-
tunity to learn it's inside business. But,
assuming that his figures are corre~C
and we have in stock 155 900 900 pounds OF
copper or about $4,000 tors. that fact
would be very favorable to US. 1t is all
solutely necessary to keep q larg- amount
of copper in stock. and we hope to al
ways be able to keep enough to meet tie
requirements of the consumer. The
amount he mentioned is not a circum-
stance to that other copper companies
have kept on hand heretofore. In 1887,
the Secretan Copper company, or the
French Syndicate, carried stock OF
10000 tons of copper. But il is useless
to say more, because his figures are 50
entirely wrong.
The home consumption of copper is
considerably larger than it was last year,
and at the rate the exports and home
consumption are now increasing, the sur
plus will soon be below the normal, for
the production is not growing in proper

Ct Joseph X. Clark. He was born in

graduate of the University of California
He has had many years experience in
the mining industry. Several years ago
he formed the acquaintance of John
Thomas. a scientist from New Hamp-
shire. and learned that Mr. Thomas had
spent So years in the east experimenting
with a compound mineral magnet as in
dicator in the location of hidden ore
bodies. and that his experiments had
met with only partial successes. and. it
may be said thar he met with more fail
Ures than successes. Yet he never de-
SPARED and applied himself studiously
to his metallic compound and finally sue
cceded in perfecting it to the extent
that he declared ii as perfect in the loca-
ton of mineral deposits beneath the sur
face as the magnet is to the poles. But
the magnet which indicated sold de-
1csits was found to be useless for silver
and compound was found that would
act successfully on gold deposits the bal

In 1887 Mr.. Thomas. Worn out by
years of constant application to his

We're numbered. and that he could not

as a token of friendship, gave to Ny
