A Balloon Ascension.

Ed. COURIER
My attention has been re-
Gently called to a tissue of mis-state-
ments which in your self-constituted
role Of hygienic censor for Griggs coun-
ty in particular and the world--or the
United States lin general you in your
omniscience saw fit to publish. There
is a little bit of difference between the
Supreme Being and my humble self in
regard to such people and conditions;
He hates lie but loves the liar; 1 hate
both the lie and the poor contemplate
creature who for pelf or in an attempt
to 'boost" his already great metfopo-
lis will attempt to give the former cur
rency through the great medium Of
the local press. After having talked
thus for while I will tell you my
grievance which is not great consider
ing that it was only "a lie in = local
paper"
You made reference about two weeks
ago to a case of smallpox in this burg
and also it's mismanagement. I will
bother myself to give the facts because
we know q lie grows, we all have read
the story about the crows when we
were eyoung. Thisalready famous ''clerk
at Jackson's" was seen 1.-TWO weeks ago
come next Sunday" by the physician
at Hannaford and was told to go to his
room and remain there to await further
developments as we in our inaptitude
were not exactly certain as to his con-
dition. We get that way you know
when we live in the country awhile.
Well, next evening some of the "most
enlightened citizens" of the burg took
the bit in their teeth, exposed them
selves, took him up to the metropolis
where of course, everything was done
up right, everything was safe-I-
think. We even have few enlightened
citizens few smart people down this
way although you might not think 1T.
I will close this incident right here
pull the veil of charity over it as it
were-hut am full of a few more facts
with regard to-it if you think any more
are necessary for the development of
the metropolis. I should Judge you
are about cur enough not to publish
this, "but if you won't why another
will" Yours truly,

hole in after him. Keep cool doc
tor, and dom t let your choler rise
over nothing. AS you grow older
you may learn wisdom but like
your smallpox case it may take
q long time for the symptoms to
develop.

 Fair in St. Louis.

New York. Dee. 17-Gen. Ben. J. Niljoen. who was one of three assist ant eommandants general in the Boer wars who has just arrived here from Europe On his way 10 St Louis. says a plan has been evolved for the re- production al the Louisiana Purchase exposition, of the battle of Colenso, the defeat of Gen. Butler and the Brit ish forces on the Tugela. December 15. 1899, and Cronje's surrender to the British on February 2. 1900.
 The unique feature will be the ap- pearance, said Capt Arthur w Lew is. who fought on the English side. and who came over with Gen. Niljoen, of about six hundred to a thousand men. probably about equally divided be- tween British and Boers. who actually had part in the hostilities in South Africa. A percentage of the net pro eeeds will go 10 the relief of the suf- ferings of the destitute women and children in the Transyaal

CHESTNUTS IN COOKERY.
peAerNins of Place on the List of fBreadstuns-ItaIia
 Potato.

Of all the members of the nut family the chestnut is without doubt of the greatest importance as an article of food, due to the fact that along with much proteid and a small amount of lat they contain large proportion of carbohydrates. The large amount of starch found in the chestnut and inc very small amount of fat or oil sue- gests placing them among the bread stuffs rather than in their rightful class. says the Washington Star. In the south of Europe large quantities of chestnuts are consumed. both the large and small varieties being used. The nuts are boiled or roasted. or ground into a meal. which is cheap and nour- ishing. This meal or flour is made into flat cakes In cookery it is the GUS tom 10 range chestnuts with legumin- ous seeds. not that they resemble them in any botanical sense, but on account of the nature of their component parts. which make them quite unlike all other nuts. So rich. in fact. is the sweet Italian chestnut in starch. il has been NSi iANN NAS i1aAsaA RCNoAb. anu NiAn good reason, for | is quite as popular among the poor peasantry of southern Europe as is the so-called Irish potato among the poor of the Emerald Isle. During the autumn and winter it often constitutes the principal if not the only dish served al two out of three daily meals A favorite way of cooking it is to shell. blanch and steam then sea- son with salt and serve with milk The freshly-roasted chestnut is considered quite a luxury by these people The Italian chestnut four shows by analysis the presence of dextrin and sugar.

 Quills. wings and all the little stiff feather ornaments that appear on the counters evefy spring in wide array are used for the winter hat. says the Brooklyn Eagle

 Particularly is the use Of flowers mo- ticeable. and countless hats of felt and Of velvet are trimmed with a nice lit- tie border of small pink rosebuds which are arranged around the crown. so that they touch each other arording the only trimming that is needed by the hat
 A great many handsome hats are trimmed with punches of pink roses. and among these are the rough felts which need no other trimming than The roses which are massed upon one side in great bank of color. Velvet hats with their crowns gar landed with little pink roses are given seasonable touch by the addition of tfny feather tips. set between the roses and so arranged that they fall forward over them

The crown is entirely covered with it and the piece required is A circular bit of skin about twice or three times the size of the palm of the hand. II Is placed smoothly over the crown and there is no other scrap of fur upon the kat
 A great many hats are trimmed with bands of fur, which are put around the crown in ribbon fashion A Strip of sable three inches wide and fye-eighths of yard long will make a very handsome band for a tall crowned hat Monkey skin and mole skin are used in the same way and the liner grades of Persian lamb The band of fur constitutes all the trim ming required for the hat. except. per haps. a bunch of bright. red roses which are fastened at the side. nest ling right in the depths of the fur.
 Fur tails are used upon hats. and a little border of tails makes a pretty edging for a hat brim. They are tackled to the rim of the hat and they make very becoming border for the face.
