A New Industry.

A new industry, which opens new
market for tamaracll, variety OF
wood that is common in Northern Min
nesota, and heretofore little in demand,
is being established in that section.
The timber is being sought for ship
knees for use in the construction OF
wooden vessels at the Atlantic coast
shipyards 1t is said that the only
supply of timber, oak and tamarack,
has heretofore been procured entirely
in Maine, but that the supply there
has nearly become exhausted and the
prices are very high. Northern Min
nesota has vast amount of tamarack
and it is cheap.
Three camps for the getting out OF
tamarack ship knees have been estab-
lished in the vicinity of Columbia sta
ton on the Duluth, Missabe & North
ern road, sixty miles north Of Duluth,
and the product will be shipped to
Bath, Me-, all rail. Select ship knees
at the Bath shipyards are worth 81 to
S8 each. A tamarack tree twelve OR
more inches in diameter is selected. 1t
is cut off from four to five feet above
the ground, and the main root, always
running at right angles to the stump,
is cut off at about the same distance,
forming an 81" shaped timber. The
pieces must measure at least twelve
inches in diameter.
About 1000 of these knees are re-
quircd in a large wooden vessel. The
elasticity, as well as strength and true
angle, count in the value of the ship
knees. About $50 of the knees make

A Mystery.


Coroner Hcimark held aninquest at
Pelican Rapids over the remains of the
man found in the woods near that
place. County Attorney Hilton was
present and searching investigation
was made.
The evidence proved beyond rea-
sonable doubt that the remains were
those of Jacob johnson who disap-
peared Sept. 8, 1895.
The same night his shanty was
burned The verdict of the coroner's
Jury was to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by having his
skull crushed by some instrument in
the hands of some person to the jury
unknown.
At the time of Johnson's disappear
ance he was reported to have had a
considerable amount of money on his
person, and there is is no doubt that
he was murdered for his money and
his body concealed by the murderer.

Yesterdays Game .

Sis Hopkins pitched decidedly the best game of ball yesterday that he has pitched since the famous game in which he shut out the St. Paul American Asso- ciation team. His control was perfect, not a base on balls did he give during the game and he struck out four of the hardest hitters in the Southern League.
 The game really should have ended and 0, two of the runs made by Little Rock being let in on errors ,and with a shade more ginger in their work, the Black Sox could have made it closer.
 With one down in the first inning, Mur- phy beat out a slow bunt, but was forced out at second on Lynch's hit to Busch. Delehanty hit safe. Lynch going to third and scoring on the throw in.
 In the last of the fifth, with one down, Mailing landed on a two-bagger, Per- sons struck out and Gilbert popped up a fly which Hopkins. Whistler and Childs them. and Mailing scored.
 An earned run was put over by the Travellers fin the sixth. With one down, three -bagger McCann hit a fly out in right which Stickney dropped, Delehanty scoring. Wright hit down to Childs and there was a quick double, McCann out at second and Wright out at first Only one run should have come in this inning, Stickneys error doing the work.
 In the ninth it looked like a run for the Black Sox. With one. down, Whistler walked and got to second on Stickney' S sacrifice. A little hit would have meant a run, but Spratt couldn't produce and the game was over, to 0, in favor of Little Rock,

SOUP AT $16 A PLATE.
Peacocks' Tongues at $50 and Other
 Extravagant Dishes.

New York World
 The most expensive dish in the world consists of fat legs of four small birds, rare and expensive. enclosed in a quail which is placed in a teal, itself wrapped inside capon.
 A goose. the fattest and tenderest ob- tainable. and fine turkey also play inn portant parts in the preparation of this dish, but the four small legs from the in side of the quail are alone served up, the other four birds being employed to add their flavor to that of the four legs. in which duty they are assisted by lib- eral basting with rare wines.
 This dish is said to be sufficiently deli cious to soften the heart of the most cal lous epicure, but. of course, the greatest thing in it's favor is its prohibitive cost. It is occasionally served in a certain costs about $50.
 Peacocks' tongues form the basis of another fashionable dish and, though they are sufficiently expensive for most people, it is really the things added to them and their treatment which makes the dish so costly.
 It takes a dozen peacocks tongues tc make a dish large enough to be clearly visible to the naked eye. and such a dish would add anywhere from $15 to $3O to a dinner bill, according to what other deli cacies were employed in creating" the dish.

 Probably the most expensive soup to be had is that for which the talented-we were almost writing ''inspired"-chef of a Paris restaurant is noted. Much mys- tery (as is usual with French dishes) ex- ists as to what it is made of. but one of the chief constituents is woodcocks' legs, stewed very gently until the flesh falls off the bone. The resultant liquor is then allowed to cool. equal portions of two wines are added and then it is ready to be prepared in all earnestness. It costs $16 every time.
 A dish invented by Paris chef in honor of a dinner given to an actress by some of her admirers consisted of the most delicate portions of thirty geese. ten tur- keys and some woodcocks. prepared in sauce obtained by stewing the tender meat of four sirloin of beef and leaving only the turkey element to be served up with truffles. The cost of the course was $4Oo, not because of what it consisted, but of all that was wasted in Its prepara- ton,

President Andrew Johnson Defended

Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times.
 Sam W. Small, of Atlanta, fin 1872 pri- vate secretary to the late ex-President Andrew Johnson. defends Mir Johnson against the charge that he was drunk when he took the oath as Vice President and President of the Senate in 1864. made by Prof. H. T. Peck of Columbia Uni versty in a review of Dewitts recently published monograph on the Presidential career of Andrew Johnson Mir Small re- members very well what Mir. Johnson said of the same kind of charges made years ago. he denied them emphatically. and stated that he had been i'll and was not under the influence of whisky. Inasmuch as MT. Johnsons critics based their opinion that he was drunk" on the fact that he was dizzy and incoherent" for some time during the delivery of his in- augural old citizens and those who had been his intimates will very readily dis credit the story. Drink never made MT. Johnson incoherent. It may have affected his legs, but his mind. never.
