WILSON'S cookINo-scHooL
Head of Department of Agriculture
Proves Governmental Mother to
Boarding House Victims.

This is government Of the people,
and it interests itself in the least daily
business of the humblest citizen. Sec
rotary Wilson and his department of ag-
riculture may be called the governm ent
mother or aunt. Their Investigations
and reports are of immediate value in
the home, like cook book or a good al
manac. A short time ago a representa-
tive from Iowa found in his mail this let
ter, which the New York Evening Post
has preserved:
Dear Sir: I have been looking over
the list Of bulletins issued by the agri-
cultural department. am not married
man, but live in boarding house kept
by Mrs. Will you please send her
a copy of Secretary Wilson's pamphlet
on bread makng?"
The pamphlet was sent, the boarding
house bread improved, and news Of the
woodworking bulletin spread Other
boarders, who had eaten the sodden bis
cults of other tables, wrote for copies
of the bulletin for their landladies. The
circulation of this masterpiece of do
nestle literature leaped from ten week
to rs. When the last copy was sent out
the demand had not stopped.
Secretary Wilson has thus become the
greatest teacher Of cooking in the
world. There are those, however, who
think that the question of bread belongs
to the department of the interior

Although Japan has practically a

"At last, however, few of the blind

s.sIots err jones Rescued.

SALT LAKE CITY, April 23.-The
sheriff of Carbon county has appealed
to Governor Wells to send the mili1ia
to restore order in the stronghold Of
the coal strikers at Helper. A few
days ago Mother" Jones arrived at the
camp and went to pay a visit to Will
liam Price, organizer of the United
Mine Workers, who was under quaran-
tine for smallpox. The health officers
at once placed Mother Jones under
quarantine. According to the sheriff,
an Italian mob, consisting OF 100 men,
armed with rifles, rescued the woman
from quarantine, defying the officers
who were present. The governor has
ordered Brigadier General Cannon,
commander of the state militia, to go
to KEEPER and investigate the situation.

MOROCCO FARM INDUSTRY.
Moorish Agriculture Carried On with
Crudest Of Imp1ements-Appear-
ance of Wea1th Avoided.

To American eyes farm in Morocco
is hardly to be distinguished from the
surrounding country, says writer in
Outing. One sees no barns, nor gran
cries nor scarcely any sign of culti-
waited fields nor fence lines to define
where the farm begins or ends. The
Moorish farmhouse looks like a series
Of crumbling walls, not connected; but
in different sections of the tum bledown
pile are three or four small, narrow
rooms, with no windows and poor apol-
ogy for door This is the prevalent
style of dwelling throughout the coun-
try, with the exception of few out-of-
town residences of the rich and power
full. For even il farmer should pos
sess any wealth he must hide all evil
Gences of it lest he attract the rapacious
eyes of governmental authorities. Even
the little harvests the farmers have to
hide away in pits to screen them from
the jealous and greedy eyes of the tax
gatherer The farm implements are pa
triarchal in their simplicity; few
boughs tied together, weighted with a
heavy stone, and drawn by mule or a
camel, constitute the farmers only har-
row. His plow is but a forked stick.
Yet, though the soil is only scratched
with such poor implements, it is SO fer
tile that it yields abundant harvest in
proportion to the small amount of labor
expended

oRAssHoPPERs FOR TABLE.
Oriental Locusts Looked Upon as Del
icacies in Philippines-Have
Ginger Biscuit Taste.

Big grasshoppers, such as grow fat
and buzz loudly in the orient, are
looked upon as table delicacies in the
Philippines.
There are several methods used by
the natives for catching grasshoppers.
The most effective is the net This is
large butterfly net, arranged with
netting placed over hoop, and to the
latter is fixed long handle.
The hopper is first SO thoroughly
dried out in the heat OF the sun or in
the bake oven that there is nothing left
that is really Objectionable, and a nice,
crispy article of food results This
tastes sweet of itself, and something
like ginger biscuits. The natives usually
sweeten the grasshopper more by
using sprinkling of brown sugar.
Then the confectioners make up grass
hoppers with sugar, chocolate trim
mings, and colored candies in such a
way that very nice tasting piece OF
confectionery is obtained The house
wife Of the Philippines takes consider
able delight in placing before you a
nice grasshopper pie or cake. The
grasshopper pie is the most wonderful
dish, as the big hoppers are prepared
in such a way that they do not lose
their form

PIGEONS IN BRITISH NAVY
Doings of Every Bird Are Chonicled
in Regular Log Books Several
Government Lofts.

The news that pigeons are being
used to convey news of the raising of
the Inflated submarine reminds one
that these useful birds are part of the
personnel of our navy, says the West
minister Gazette. There are government
lofts at Portsmouth, Dartmouth and
elsewhere, and the birds are numbered
and registered in exactly the same
manner as our blue jackets themselves.
In the Portsmouth lofts, which are in
the Royal Clarence victualing yards a.
GospQrt, and from which the birds now
doing such useful work are drawn, is
an Office where the official log books
are kept with the utmost detail and
precision. There are stud registers
and report books in which the doings
of every pigeon are chronicled; one
volume is devoted to a record of times
OF liberation, another to pigeons hom-
ing at the loft, and in another volume
the various messages carried by the
birds are pasted. Among these it is
interesting to notice many that have
been sent to the lofts by members of
our royal family when crossing the
channel. The moment a bird enters
the loft 1t is automatically shut into a
box by the dropping Of noiseless
slide, and an electric bell summons an
attendant to take the message it has
brought

DIAMONDS OF THE WORLD.
Though Output Is Increasing, Prices
Are Going Up-Amsterdam
Center of Industry.

AS the result of the recent advance
LOT five per cent. diamonds are now
dearer by 20 per cent. than at any time
since the consolidation of the De Beers
mines in South Africa. The United
States last year imported diamonds to
the value of SS,403, 1872
The output of the De Beers compa-
mics, which control SO per cent. Of the
worlds supply, was for the year end
ing in November, 1903, $26, 205. 900, on
which was realized profit OF $11.511,-
600. 1t is estimated that the South
African mines have added S400, 600. 900
worth of diamonds to the worlds stock.
Surprise will be excited by the state
ment that not five per cent. of the dia-
monds in the world have been lost in
400 years.
Amsterdam is still the center of the
diamond industry. There 1856 persons
are engaged in splitting, polishing and
cutting these precious stones in GA
factories" Considering the expert
ness demanded for this work their
weekly wages OF from $1005 to $20.1
appear disproportionate to the skill re-
quired
The United States has become the
chief importer of diamonds, with Rus
STA next and France and England In
the order named No doubt their in
creased popularity with lis is in part
due to the recognition of their desira-
bility as an investment not liable to
great financial huctuation in value.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

From Unreasonable weather.

q. G. DUN & Co. Report Business Dali
From Unreasonable Weather.
NEW YORK, April 23.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
Unreasonable weather is still the chief
drawback to Improvement in business,
complaints being received from every
section Of the country, and slower col
lections are also attributed to this fac
Cor. Not only is eelrrent distribution of
merchandise, particularly dry goods,
affected by the thermometer, but future
commitments are undertaken most con-
servatively on account Of the possible
injury to crops. There has been much
talk Of damage to cotton, but replant-
ing may prevent any reduction in the
total yield, and a few weeks OF desir-
able weather would remove anxiety re-
garding wheat.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for April aggregated
$3.50, 7s6, of which $2,727, 532 were in
manufacturing. S3,927, 04S in trading
and $1,676,213 In other commercial
lines. Failures this week numbered
241 in the United States against 1856
last year, and twelve in Canada COM
pared with fifteen year ago.

In some parts of Europe an omeIette
made from the eggs Of the long-eared
owl is believed to be an effective cure
for drunkenness. In Germany the
ravei is supposed to be able to procure
a magic stone that gives invisibility to
the wearer. 1t is apparently not sim
pie matter to obtain, for in the first
place, after discovering the nest, you
must satisfy yourself that the old birds
are at least century old. Then you
climb to the nest, and must either take
out an egg, boil 1t hard and replace it,
or II there should be young, you must
kill male nestling-it must be male
and replace it. After this the spot must
be most carefully marked, for the parent
bird, if he is old enough. will return with
the magic stone, which will render the
nest invisible, and 1t is apparently from
the spot where you judge the nest
ought to be that you must pluck the
prize.

Dash FOR Pole IN AUTO.
Contemplated Trip Into Antarctic
Zone Will Be Made in Side
Wheel Sled.

An automobile sled is the vehicle a
Belgian explorer, Mons. Henryk Arc
towski-in view of his specially, why
not Antarctowski Proposes to use in
making his next dash for the south
pole, says LIE Tour du Monde He is now
experimenting with motors and pro-
pellers.
Steamship expeditions to the south
sea are stopped by land or walls of per-
petual ice long before they reach the
pole. From the shore expeditions have
gone inland some distance with dog
sleds, but there is a limit to the dis
lance that can be covered, as food for
the dogs has to be carried, and adds
greatly to the necessary stores.
If a motor sufficiently simple and
strong can be found, which will run in
the coolest weather and will not con-
sumo as great weight Of stores per
mile as the dogs do, Monsieur Arctow-
ski believes it will be great aid to
the explorer.
His present scheme is to use Cana
aian sledges or toboggans, and attach
10 each two wheels with spur teeth,
mounted like the side wheels OF q riv-
er steamer, and arranged SO that they
can be raised or lowered, to grip light
Iy or deeply according as the snow is
crusted or soft. The whole affair must
be light enough so that it will not sink
too deep in the snow, and strong
enough to pillow its way through mod
crate depth of light flakes, and large
enough to carry the explorer and neces-
sary stores for him and the motor.

out Southern Character There
Ran q Streak of Barbarian.
WASHINGTON, April 23-President
Roosevelt was assailed bitterly by Mr..
Claude Kltchin IN c. in congress. He
also included in his castigation General
Grosvenor, whom he charged with hav-
ing Inundated Theodore Roosevelt, the
vice presidential candidate, whom in
recent speech in the house he had
glorihed as the worthy successor of
Mckinley. Mr.. Kitchin nkened Presi-
dent Roosevelt in this connection to
the ant hill taking the place of the
mountain, the OWLS screech taking the
place of the tomb's symphonies and
to the minnow taking the place Of the
whale. He declared that the president
had insulted the people Of the south
by saying in one of his publications
that throughout southern character
there ran streak of brutal barbarism.
He openly charged the president with
being the advocate of lynch law and
quoted from one OF the presidents
books to sustain his assertion. In his
opinion the president, who he said
while governor of New York had styled
the members of congress as herd Of
cattle, was unfit to hold Office and a
dangerous man.
General Grosvenor admitted that
four years ago he opposed the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt for vice presi.
dent, but said Mr.. Roosevelt during the
campaign had conducted himself in
dignified manner and had won the con-
fdence and esteem of the people by
his acts from the time he was elected
to preside over the senate and that he
reached the supreme heights when he.
declared at Buffalo that he would carry
out the policies of Mckinley. Since
then the president had grown to be
one of the great men of the country.
The president, he said, was today more
dangerous to the Democratic party
than any other man. The Democrats
in New York, he said, had launched
candidate for president who did not
know whether he stood on his head or
his heels.
Preceding this episode the house de-
bated the bill to create a commission
to investigate the merchant marine,
but took no action omit.
