Throwing the slipper MT a wedding.

The throwing Of the slipper after the
bride comes apparently from barbarous
times, when the relations of man and
wife were really very much akin to
those of master and slave, for 1t seems
that the shoe was an emblem of author
ity, and at an Anglo-Saxon marriage
shoe was given by the brides father TO
her husband In token Of transference

Making High Grade cider vi,

In making cider for vinegar it is my
plan to use all varieties of apples, those
ripening in October being preferable,
as they contain more sugar, conse-
quently the resulting cider and vinegar
will be of a higher grade than when
made from early ripening kinds. II
you have plenty of room, put the cider
away in barrels in some airy building,
leaving the bung out. Keep the build
ing moderately warm during the win
ter using little fire during the cold
est days. This heat will retain the
vinegar making process. In year and
a half from the time the cider was put
In the barrels you should have excel
lent vinegar. When the vinegar is as
strong as you want it, rack out into
other vessels, then rinse the barrels,
and they can be used again. The de-
mand for cider vinegar is good now,
as a number Of states have pure food
laws regulating the sale Of vinegar as

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. EAT plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptivc needs
most.
Scott'sEmulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptiye. Pork is too
rough for sensitive 8tomachs.
oCott S Emulsion Is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
Phltes in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

DEFIES HUNGARIAN
Casts Back Taunt of Being a ''For-
eigner" in the Dual
Monarchy.

VIENNA, Nov. 21.-The Austrian pre-
mier, DR.. Won Koerber, replied in the
reichsrath yesterday to the interpeIla-
ton In the house protesting against the
recent speech OF the Hungarian premier
Count Tisza. in the lower house of the
Hungarian diet. in which he classed the
remarks Of DR.. Won kOerber on the po-'
hucal situation as being merely the
dilettante utterances of a distinguished
foreigner, who was not entitled to ex-
press an opinion on the matter. and
whose comments could be treated with
the utmost Indifference The Austrian
premier said:
Even Count Tisza must know that
no modification OF the Ausgleich of 1867
can be effective without the consent of
Austria. We viii not suffer our rights
to be contested. We viii not abandon
single one Of them, and If. which the
gods forbid, the word foreigner comes
into force in the monarchy. 1t must be
remembered that the Hungarian premier
was the first 10 employ the word"
Frantic cheers greeted DR.. Won koeT-
ber's declaration, and the protests of
the ezechs and radicals .gere drowned
in the general reclamation.

PETER MORTENSEN DIES

Murderer, Who Slew James R. Hay to

at Salt Lake.

SALT LAKE, Utah. Nov H.-Peter
Mortensen, the slayer of James r Hay
was shot TO death IN the State peni-

tanning his innocence to the last, he
walked to the chair placed against the
heavy stone wall of the prison yard
without weakening. and bid the guards

Mortensen was killed instantly, four
bullets from the rifles of the executing
squad, concealed behind a thick curtain
In the door of the blacksmith shop
twelve yards distant. piercing the white
target pinned over his heart.
Mortensen refused to see ministers,
either of his own belief, the Mormon, or
of any other denomination, and also re-
fused stimulants.
Whose sheddeth the blood of man by
man shall his blood be sh ed"
This sentence in the Bible is respOn-
sible for the provision in The Utah law
which allowed Peter Mortensen to
choose death by shooting rather than
by hanging. In no other State in the
Union is a man convicted by a civil
tribunal given this option. Mormon in
huence is responsible for the provision
in the Utah statutes. The Mormons
construe this sentence literally. They
believe in blood atonement."

CLERGY BARRED FROM
HIGHER EDUCATION

PARIS. Nov. q. - Debate was re-

governments education measure. The
first amendment discussed was that OF
NJ Delpech, by which il is proposed
that members OF the congregations, au-
thorized or unauthorized, shall be for
hidden to teach IN the higher educa-
tional establishments. The premier, NJ.
Combes. supported the amendment. and
insisted upon the necessity for remOv-
ing the sons Of the official classes from
the influence OF the clericals. The
premier pointed TO the fact that army
officers were almost entirely recruited
from clerical schools, and this. he be-
heved. constituted serious danger to
the republic.
