The Kings Finger Bowl.

When n member of the royal family
comes To dinner, il is a point of eti-
quette to provide none but the 'illustri-
Gus guest with a finger bowl ut the end
of the banquet. The other diners must
get on somehow without that conpen-
fence.
The reason is a curious one. In early
Georgian days one never knew who
was loyal. Every other manImight he
a Jacobite in his secret heart. Now. it
was n piece of Jacobite ritual whenev-
er the toast of The King was drunk
secretly to pass the goblet over any
water that happened to he by the
drinker. This was supposed to con-
vert the toast into that of '~rhe King
Over the Water" the exiled. Stuart at
Rome or st. Germans.
On this becoming known the court
insisted that there should be no water
within reach of any guest. and the pro-
hibition still holds.-London News.

JAPAN IN WINTER.
colder In Houses of the Rich Man
Than In Open Sunshine.

81 suppose that the American people
and the Russians are the only western
races that really keep warm in winter
Still those who dwell in other countries
admit that they have the same ideal by
their inefficient effort to attain to it,
writes Anna y. Benjamin in Ainslec's
The Japanese winter is most trying on
account of its continual dampness, but
the Japanese are content to remain
cold. They make almost no effort to
overcome it. The old 'bushido' (chival-
rous) idea of the 'samurai' Cknights)
was that it was effeminate to feel cold,
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra 'kimonos' and
the use of a 'hibachi,' or brazier, in
which are few tiny sticks of lighted
charcoal, are the only concessions to
winter weather. With the 'hbachi'
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips. which they hold over
the Goals. 1t is used when the house is
entirely open.
''The houses. as every one knows, are
built of thin, light wood. and the slid
ing panels which serve for doors and
windows have paper panes. They are

day. When l took my first jinrikisha
ride through the streets of NagaSaki, l
forgot my own sufferings in my sym
pathy for this unhappy nation. which
as surely as the cold came endured such
misery from It. The coolies wear thin
blue cotton clothes and are always pad
ding through the mud. The storekeep-
ers sit out in their open booths, and the
women go bareheaded about the streets.

IL goes with western civilization. The
Koreans do it very thoroughly. the Chi
nese to a certain extent. The Japanese,
as a race, continue TO scorn it as they
always have done, and this is. merely
one of a hundred examples which prove
that the japanese are still true to their

4 Cherokee Dish.


An article of food much used by the
Cherokees is made from corn. The
process is first to soak the corn in

just as white people I'm the countr,
make hOminy. This removes the hulls.
The corn is then put into n large NOR
tar made by following out the end of

pestle.
As the process of pounding goes on
the crushed corn is removed from the
mortar and riddled with sieve made
Of cane and then famed in thel wind TO
remove the hulls. The grit" as the
course meal is called. is thep replaced
in the mortar and pounded INTO a fine
meal. 1t is then boiled up with cay

small amount of I've is left I'm the meal,
and it has a tendency to preserve il for
a long time. However. if the stuff

cacy. 1t is known as "cOn-a-hanna."
The food is sometimes varied by the
addition of nuts, which is considered
especially fine With the nuts it is
called ''ca-nutch."
In the oldcn times cakes were made
of "cOn-a-hanna" by baking the sub
stance in rudely constructed rock
ovens or in hot ashes. These cakes
would keep for a long time and. in con-
nection with the wild game. provided
nourishment for the Indians ON their
long hunts. Many of the older Chero-
KEGS still use the mortar and pcstle to
make the dish.-kansas City Journal.

Unique Methods Employed to over
come Certain Diseases.
Freezing. baking. Illuminating, tor
turing. frightening and bruising are
among the accepted ways of curing GER
tain diseases. says n writer in the Phil
adelphia Times. For example. the bak-
ing cure: When one has n well devel-
oped rheumatism, he is placed in spe-
cles of stove and the crystals of uric
acid are literally melted out Of his body.
Another odd cure once tried for
rheumatism was burial in damp,
warm clay. The first rheumatic burial
took place at Menominee. Mich. The
treatment was not a success. and this
form of cure has been given up.
The freezing cure: This was first in
troduced by Swiss doctor. Paul Bur-
deyront. He placed his patients in
sheets immersed in ice water. packing
the patient all about with crushed Ice.
This treatment is today used in typhoid
fever cases.
Or the patient is plunged into an ice
water BATH The treatment saves many
lives Raging fever above 105 degrees
F. has been brought down by these
means to normal-oS 2-5 degrees-in
less than ten minutes.
Neither OF these modes OF treatment
actually freezes one. A physician OF
Paris, M. Figeau. introduced in 1900 an
ammonia vapor method. which really
froze the patient. The body was placed
in a chamber into which certain chem
icals were introduced. Ammonia gas.

intense cold. and the blood in the body
lost most of its heat
NJ. Figeau's method did not meet
with success. Some of his patients
succumbed to the drastic measures.

FRIENDS OF IRRIGATION.

1t was a sensibl idea to have a
conference of western members of
congress to agree if possible on a
bill providing for irrigation and
reclamation of arid lands. If they
can all agree on some one measure
and then heartily support it, there
is better chance at this session,
thanks to the strong recommended
tions in the presidents message,
than there ever was before for get
ting an appropriation from the
congress and setting under way a
systematic plan for reclaiming the
arid lands. One of the greatest
difficulties heretofore in the way
of congressional action has been
that the friends of irrigation could
not agree among themselves on
just the measure they wanted.
The conferrees in this case will
naturally follow the lines suggested
in the presidents message and the
report of the Secretary of the In
terior-that is, they will if they
desire to get the most powerful
backing for their measure. The
advocates of the states rights idea

theories for this time. The details

TO BUILD OPERA HOUSE.
Eastern Capital Looking for In
VeStment.

G. L. Mix. of Sugar Grove, Pen.
nsylvania, left yesterday for Salt
Lake City. He was here in the
interest of his uncle in the east,
looking for western town that is
not showing the advantage of an
opera house, with view to build
ing one here, He was driven over
tho nitv nv his friend. w M. Seth
resources
The editice he would build will
be three story affair, the ground
floor being for business house, the
the second floor for office rooms
and the third will be used as a
play house. If built the front of
the entire first floor will be of plate
glass.
Mr., Mix's relative is wealthy
and the young man has been asso
ciated in theatrical circles for
years and therefore knows what
should be required to make an
opera house that would be up-to-
date.
For site he seemed to favor
the corner now occupied by little
business houses between the Nc
Candless Mercantile company aud
w. ID. Whites feed store, corner
Main and Pixies Peak.
Florence needs an opera house
and any effort made by this gentle
man will be assisted by the people
of Florence. Mr.. Mix estimates
that his deal would be between
$75, 200 and $4,000.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

A new field has been opened to
florists by late experiments. Plants
are made to blossom out of season
by giving them period of rest,
like that of winter, and the usual
method is to expose them to frost,
causing the leaves to fall, after
which they grow as in spring. The
plan is inconvenient and somewhat
uncertain. In 1895 Prof. Johann
sen showed that exposure to ether
vapor has the same effect as cold,
and Prof. Albert Maximene has
now brought forward proof that
this process is practicable. The
plants are placed for fifty hours in
tight box containing ether vapor,
the soil under them being kept
dry. The leaves fall and the flow
of sap is arrested, when warmth
and moisture cause rapid devel-
opment of new leaves and blossoms
as in spring. Full-blown lilacs
have been shown in Septem ber, a
month before etherizing. The pro-
cess is most effective from July to
Septem Der, and it is at present
adapted only to plants that flower
in spring on the previous years
wood and form buds as early as
July. These include such shrubs
as the azalea, spirea, SNOWFALL, etc

Better Service in Siuht.

The new consolidated company is certainly preparing to benefit this town not little. Dollar gas is great boon, and 1t is to be hoped the use of gas will be increased enough to make good the reduction in rates. Dollar gas will certainly be satisfactory to the people, and gas agitation Is thing that will not be heard from again.
 Only less welcome will be the changes in the car service of the town. Tenders are to be fitted to the cars, the time schedules are to be quickened, the dummies abolished double tracks put in, and transfers granted on all the lines. Some of the lines are to be extended, and heavier rails laid down. New and modern cars nave been ordered, containing every equipment and device that convent ence can suggest.
 Consultations may not always be favorable to the general public. but it is certain that the consolidation of our light, railway and power interests mas proven beneficial, and will prove still more so. The indications now are that this town is to have as good a service on as good terms as any other town, big or little, has, The Age-Herald has long fought for dollar gas, and now that dollar gas is to come along with many trolley i'm. provements 1t feels as if it and the town are proper candidates for con. gratulations.

WOUNDED AS WAS M'klNLEY.

Washington Correspondence of Chicago
 Tribune.
 Benson Smith, the negro who was shot in the abdomen on September B last on a farm near Gaithersburg, Md, and brought to the Emergency Hospital Tor treatment. and whose case attracted such widespread attention because of the similarity of the wound to the hurt from which President Mckinley died, is. the doctors at the hos pitai say, well on the road to recovery.
 The danger from peritonitis and septic poisoning long since passed, and while there is possibility of gangrene develop ing, it is not considered at all probable that the fatal symptoms will appear.
 The wound sustained by the negro was in several respects more serious than that inflicted upon the late President It was six hours from the time the wound was received before Smith could be brought to Washington and placed upon the oper- ating table. The operation performed upon the negro by pr. Vaughn of the Marine Hospital service was identical with that upon President .dcKinley. It was found that the bullet entered an inch lower in the body of the negro than had the bullet fired by Czolgosz and had in its course penetrated the pcritoneum or abdominal sac.
