A CULINARY GENIUS.
Cooked Dinner In HIS Home While
Mt Business In His Office.

at Business In His Office.
The ordinary man is nowhere more
out Of place than in the kitchen. Al
rules have their exceptions, however
and correspondent sends a story OF
q man who might have led armies per-
haps, but was certainly equal to culi'
nary emergencies.
In the absence Of his wife and family
it became necessary, as he thought, for
him to cook his own dinner, and in
view Of the fact that he was man Of
business his presence was also needed
down town at his office.
Now, the same body cannot he in two
places at once, and this we'll known
consideration would have settled the
question for an average man. IIe
would have either spent hif@orenoon
in the kitchen or gone to his office and
lunched out. This, however, was a
man to whom physical laws do not
courtesy even as custom to great kings.
The case stood thus:

would have it done to a turn, piping
hot and ready to serve at his home
coming. The meat, turnips and beets,
therefore, which require longer time,
he put on before leaving the house.
The potatoes and cabbage, needing less
time for cooking, were put on the COW
er Of the pot.
Then he dropped string through a
hole in the edge Of the cover, ran 1t
through a loop suspended from the
ceiling and thence down to the sink.
In the sink hole he firmly stuck q can:
die, to which, two inches below the
top, he tied the string.
Last Of all he lighted the candle aud
went to his business. In two hours, or
about half an hour before be was to
return, when it was time for the vege-
tables on the cover to go to their ap-
pointed place, the slowly descending
fame burned the string, which releas-
ed the otherwise unsupported edge Of
the cover, which dropped its burden
into the pot and fell back where 1t be-
longed.
When the genius reached home, his
dinner was ready.-Youth's Compan-

People Who Want to See Greenland
Must Get a Royal Permit.
Greenland is governed in a grand
motherly way by Denmark; but, as it
consists Of a group Of colonies which
would not under any circumstances at
tract many tourists or traders, no out
slider complains Of the exclusiv eless Of
the Danish authorities. Trade always
has been and still is monopolized by
the state, and only government vessels
are allowed to sail in Greenland wa
tiers. For foreign travellers also Green
land is closed country unless the tray
eler in question has beforehand OBJ
tanned the rare distinction Of gaining
the permission Of the Danish govern
ment.
The monopoly Of the trade Is said to
protect the Greenlander from being de-
cei7ed by unscrupulous merchants. The
administration settles fixed price both
for the goods the Greenlanders pur-
chase and for the products they sell.
In this way all are treated in the same
manner, and the business being car.
ried on by the state is a guarantee
that the natives are not imposed upon.
Furthermore, the members Of the ad-
ministration are enjoined to take care
that the natives do not leave them
selves short Of produce By selling more
than they can dispense with, so that
they are destitute Of needful food and
clothing when the slack time arrives.
The native Greenlander never has been,
neither is he now, able to purchase a
single drop of spirits from the admin
istratiol.
The exchange Of goods between
Greenland and Denmark is, as rule,
carried on exclusively by means Of the
nine vessels belonging to the Green
land company viz, five brigs, three
barks and small steamer having
total register Of about 1000 tons net.
Several Of these vessels, which are
suitable for sailing through the drift
ice, make two voyages year and the
steamer, as rule, three voyages

Cause OF Tal1eyrand's Lameness.

The cause Of Talleyrand's lameness
has long been matter Of dispute.
Some stories have it that the defect
was congenltal; others that it was oc-
casioned by an accident which befel
him in his infancy. The most curious
explanation of all is that offered by a
writer in The Quarterly Review. "To
quote the very words Of our informant,
an eminently distinguished diplomat"
says the writer, 'Talleyrand's Vienna
colleague, Baron Wessenberg, told me
years ago that his lameness was owing
to carelessness Of his nurse, who lai6
him down in a field while she hirted
with her sweetheart and on coming
back to her charge found some pigs
dining on the infants legs. am sure
that Wessenberg told me this as an
! established fact, and I am all but sure
that his authority was Talleyrand him
self"

How Flags Wear Out.

It costs money to fly even two small
flags every day in the year. The two
small ones on the east and west fronts
of the capitol, each about three yarGS
long, which is small for such an i'm
mense structure as the capitol, fray out
so fast that it costs S100 a year to re-
place them. They are darned every
day and on windy days probably two
or three times. Even with all these
economies 500 worth Of fine wool
floats off into the air in such fine parti-
cles that never q trace Of it can be
found even at the foot Of the two flag
staffs.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

An Englishnlan made q wager that
he could cook o plum pudding ten feet
beneath the surface Of the Thames and
won the bet b7 placing the pudding in
q tin case and putting the whole in a
sack Of lime. The heat Of the lime,
slaking when it came in contact with
the water, was sufficient to cook the
pudding In two hours.

splendid chance to secure good place at Q

for lease soon after the opening Of the

The mining claims in the mountains will
form an important feature in the new coun-
try. Repeated discoveries Of gold and other
rich minerals have been made In the Wich-
fta Mountains. but the refusal Of the Gov
eminent to allow these claims to be worked
has kept old miners in a state Of perpetual
excitement, and they are waiting for an OPP
portunity to 60 into the new land and de-
velop the mining resources.
The manner Of opening these lands has
been matter Of much conjecture to those
who intend to try for homes. and 1t has
practically been decided that the method
will be changed from the horse race by
which Oklahoma was opened. This will
probably be decided by the Presidents proc

appears to be absolute waste. Many thou
sands Of acres abound on the mountains
which will be valueless except for the min
ing purposes Of such minerals as may be

Careful examination shows that about
one-half Of the land to be opened for settle
ment will be desirable for farming. the rest
being suited for pasture and the feeding Of
stock. The land which, is suited for farm
