STRANGE FOOD OF AMERICANS
An EAgAsA W0nan Tells Her CDua.
1Fyw0nen About what she
- Ate while Here.

An English woman who visited Amer
ice . short time ago has been telling
her countrywomen about the strange
food across the water" OF course she
discovered green corn. but she had
been quite prepared for that. Oyster
crabs were quite new to her.
'"They look like Boston baked beans, I"
she explains. "but they taste much bet
ter"
An oyster cocktail filed her with awe
and enthusiasm. She tried it at Del
monico's and thought it was soup. OF
course, in England, one didn't serve
soup in q glass, but then neither did
the English serve boiled eggs in glass.
One could never be sure of Americans.
OF canvas back duck she has a poor
opinion, but thinks she might like it
better if Americans would have it
cooked, or even warmed. AS for terra
pin, she sings it's praise. She found it
much like calf's head, and she always
liked calf's head. Shades Of Mary
land gourmets, what slur is there.
"All the puddings in America are
pie or ice cream" she says, but it must
be understood that pie does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie 10 tart and
is ubiquitous, she explains.
She sat next to an American man
who ate lump of cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned plateful
Of ice cream over both, but she doesn't
know that that is q general custom.
The oysters were good, but had most
impossible names, and the cookies,
meaning clans, are excellent. On the
whole Yankee food and cooking are
good, but there is too much food on
the table at one time.

WHERE THE coin WAS MADE.
= CoA Do DotesznAnoA ~
Co910A0 001AA

Coias and 'eoons" look oHke 70
most men, but it 10 easy to tell whore
any coin Of - cents or over was made.
There are four places Of coinage in the
country-Philadelphia, San Francisco,
New Orleans and Carson City. The
first mint was established at Philadel-
phia. and as the founding of other
places OF coinage was then unforeseen
there was no necessity for putting a
mark on coins which came from that
city. But as the country grew in ter
ritory, population and wealth, and the
mines in the west were developed more
and more each year, it became neces-
sary to establish other mints whereby
the government could keep track of
the output from each place, and, if an
error should occur in the coinage, could
at once locate the mint from which the
defective coin had come. All coins are
supposed to weigh exactly the same
a. others Of the same denomination.
Silver coinage may be pretty we'll worn
before it i liable to rejection, but that
10 not the case with gold pieces. and a
slight decrease in weight necessitates
recoinage. 1t was for these reasons
that marks are put on coins made else
where than in the Quaker City.
These marks are placed below the
eagle or the bunch Of arrows. II there
be letter in the place designated it
will be either q small 5, o, or the double
betters &C. Those bearing the letter :
are from the mint at San Francisco.
Others having the letter are from
New Orleans, while those bearing the
letters &C are from Carson City. If you
do not ind any letter on the coin at all
1t is an indication that the coin came
from Philadelphia.

" In the Air.

It is one Of the peculiarities of travel
by balloon, says the Idler, that you do
not feel anything; all is still with you.
no matter how fast you may be going.
You see, you are riding with the wind;
you move as fast as it moves; you are
part and parcel of it, whether you wish
to be or not. 1t takes you in its EN-
brace so firmly, yet 30 softly, you do
not know it is there. You may be in
the teeth of hurricane, but you never
know it; all is calm and placid with
you.

REFRIoERAr1NG EGGS.


One Of the oldest of recent in.
ventsons il q refrigerating egg, a. IL
might be called. It il an ovoid cap
sule Of nickel-plated copper, about
the size and shape of a hens egg,
hollow and nearly filed with water
For use. it il frozen, 30 that its con-
tents become ice.
II you have q glass of milk that ID
not cold enough. you do not like to
put ice into it, because dilution with
water spoils the beverage. But. if
you have one of these eggs handy,
you may drop it into the glass, and
IN . few moments the liquid is re-
duced to the desired temperature.
In the same way you may cool your
cup of coffee. if it il too hot, and the
idea II equally applicable to any
other drink.
Many. people nowadays are disin-
clined to use ice in their drinking
water. because it may contain germs.
All danger 10 avoided by dropping
one OF these metal eggs into ones
tumbleH.
The refrigerating egg. according
TO the Saturday Evening Post, is =
little less than full of water, 30 a.
to allow for the slight expansion Of
the liquid in freezing; otherwise, of
course. the capsule would burst.
After being filled, the capsule is
sealed 30 perfectly that no one can
'ell where the opening was. and
thss it u absolutely water tight.

The increase in the number of tall
buildings has resulted in a larger use
Of ribbed and prismatic glass for win
dows, as we'll as in the production of
improved varieties of such glass. The
illumination of dingy rooms, Shut in
by lofty walls, is increased by the re-
fection, from the many facets of the

pass the windows without penetrating
the interior of the rooms. The en-

THE MAN FROM THE COUNTRY.


The country visitor II no longer
tho easy mark he 10 pictured" said .
policeman to q Chicago Inter Ocean
reporter. Time was when the farm
er-looking person or the man with
the village air was always the victim
OF city confidence men and bunko
dealers. That time has passed. The
people from the country have grown
sharp and it is no unusual thing for
the bland confidence man to find him
self the victim of his own confidence
Il remember q case of that kind
which was very amusing. A steerer
managed to get q man wearing q soft
hat, ready-made clothes and boots
into poker game where the brace
was all right, as was supposed. The
thing did not work, however, and the
countryman won in spite of the odds.
Then the gang grew desperate and
attempted to take the money by
force. The granger whipped out
big. old-fashioned gun and frightened
them 30 they were glad to get rid of
him.
"The story got out and the police
concluded that the stranger was him
self crook from some other city.
Investigation proved that while he
was really farmer from the south
ern end of the state, he was we'll
known in the villages thereabouts a.
. first-class card sharp and handy

Le Natin, Paris paper Of eonsid-
cradle circulation, recently printed
an article on New York city and the
wonderful things to be seen there.
Some of the statements are q trifle
tall, as will be seen from the follow
ing extracts:
''The Americana are decidedly in
satiable. While we are still using
steam engines for our railways they
have long ago tasted of the benefits
of electrical traction, and now they
are commencing to abandon electric
ity for compressed air.
1.-The New York line Of Manhattan
uses now, to the exclusion of all
other modes, compressed air engines,
and it appears that the results are
so marvellous that the transatlantic
papers proclaim steam az a thing of
the past and electricity old-fash-
iOned.
"The air IL compressed in what the
American calls q power station

compressed until it attains an cx-
pansive power Of 1.50O to 1000 kilos
per square centimeter that it occu-
pies. It is then transferred on board
the locomotive, where it is stored in
a large steel tank, which replaces the
boiler. There it is furthermore COM
pressed by the use of reduction

MRS. J. B. NEAL DEAD.

Again the Angel of death has visited our community and stolen from earth a treasure, robbed a pleasant, happy home of a jewel and left a husband and sister heart-broken, sad, lonely.

 Mrs. Neal was born at Kokoma, Ind, April 8, 1872. and died of peritonitis Sunday morning, June Is, 1901, being 29 years of age at time of her demise.
 Mrs. Neal was the daughter of A. J. and Elizabeth Avery. From Indiana hemoved to Unity, Illinois and in May 1887 she nov ed with her parents to Hilton, Ark. where she resided until her marriage with Dr. J. B. Neal, which took place June 13, 1895, since which time she has resided at McCrory. She was member of the M. B. Church, South.
 Funeral services were conduct ed at the Odd Fellows cemetery near DeView by the Rev. $. l.. Cochran, Monday evening, at tended by a large concourse of friends.

 While we do not uphold any thing wrong and are for right wherever and whenever it may come, yet wrong is no man s right. Itmay not be, and no doubt is not the best way of serving the Lord on Sunday, by having a quiet, or derly, and gentlemanly dinner, butwe cannot see that the picture is as dark as painted by Brother Cochran. In the first place the dinner did not take place in a sa- loon, ittook place in a private resi- dence back of and apart from the saloon. This one particular dinner or banquet, given by the Big Four seems to be a corker on our preacher, whose modesty was greatly shocked by it. However, he has now somewhat recovered from the shock and last Sunday he and a good many others were able to enjoy the feast ofa great barbecue at which our worthy did himself proud. Now we sub- nit that this was a dissertation of the Sabbath day and a violation of the fourth commandment. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy maid ser want, nor thy cattle etc" Now the livery stable horses and others that were employed were all in use contrary to the 4th com mandment. A man who will use horse to attend a barbecue, call it children s day or what you will, according to James 2-I0, has vio- lated, or is guilty of the whole cat alogue of crime enumerated in the ten commandments. Our idea is first remove the beam out of thine own eye and thou canst see clearer to remove the mote that is in thy brothers eye.

BROTHER COCHRAN SPEAKS.

MIR. EDITOR: I desire to offer friendly criticism on the big four banquet held last Sunday in the rear of Vaccaro & Wilder's saloon, at which several of our citizens were present as invited guests, and at which the feasting was interspersed with refresh ments, and addresses, etc.
 Now, Mr. Editor, in all kind ness, 1 want to say that the pub lication of that Sunday banquet in the rear of saloon is refiec- tion not only on the young men present, but on the morals of the whole town. The whole thing was a desecration of the Lord s day any a violation of the fourth commandment, Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" "Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, etc." Now I submit that it is as great a sin in Gods eyes for any man to violate this com mandment as is to violate the sixth commandment, Thou shalt not steal" James says, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guiltyof all. ''-James 2-10.
 In all kindness, I want to ask everyone present at the banquet, do you believe that you not only desecrated the Sabbath day, but that you sinned against the God that made you, and that so loved you that he gave his dear Son, Jesus Christ to die for you? And, do you believe that God was pleased with your Sunday even ing banquet? Will the publica- tion of such a banquet in a civ ilized town on Sunday, make favorable impression abroad as to the good morals and religious condition of our citizenship? I wot not.
 Oh, how much better it would have been, if all the parties pres ent on that occasion, had been in young mems christian associa- tion meeting, readingGod $ word, singing his praises, and offering up their prayers to Almighty God to help them to lead pure and holy lives in this world, and to bring them to heaven when their life's work is done, as that, by the young men of our town, would have been a glorious ad- vertisement to have gone out to the world Yes, a million times better than the one that has gone out through our paper, which has been read with bitter regret and sorrow by every lover of Jesus Christ that takes the paper.
 In conclusion, young men, Il want to ask you in the language of the Psalmist, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?" and let the Psalmist an swer, By taking heed thereto according to thy word. "-Psa. 119-9. l pray God to help you. my young friends, to receive this criticism as from true friend of all young people, and may God help you to live pure, honest and upright lives from this on, and finally reward every one of you with a crown of life, and home with the good and
