Every one knows how delicious wa.
termelon rind preserve is, provided it Is
carefully prepared In the south musk
melon preserve is almost as highly
rated. The melons are chosen before
they are quite ripe ana are peeled and
sliced and placed in weak brine for
several days. After a thorough wash
ing in clear water to remove the salt
the melons are put in hot water in a
preserving kettle and boiled briskly for
ten minutes, after which they are trans
ferred TO another kettle containing a
very weak alum water. While they are
boiling in this strong ginger tea is
prepared and the melon transferred to
this, where the boiling continues for a
few minutes. Prepare sirup Of two
pounds Of sugar to one pound Of fruit,
flavor with lemon cut In very thin
slices and place the fruit therein for
a last boiling. Let 1t remain in the
strip until quite clear and easily
pierced with fork. Seal while hot.

ABOUT LAKE HoPATc0NG.

Low Water in the Lake and Dredging
Is Necessary to Deepen the Channel.
The lake is nearly four feet below
it's usual level, and the floating Is
land is resting on the bottom. The
foot Of the lake presents a sorry sight,
and can furnish an object lesson to
those who favor abandonment Of the
canal.
The steam dredge which for several
years has lain partially sunken near
the foot Of the lake, is being raised
and repaired, as it is rapidly becom-
ing necessary to dredge out the boat
channel.
Canal boats are distributing coal
at various points along the lake, and
some are carrying wood from near
Woodport to Paterson.
Miss Buckley of New York, won
the Handsomely embroidered tea
cloth which has been on exhibition at
the Breslin for several weeks. 1t was

AS toathe fishing, there have not
been enough caught this year to
furnish a salient point to hang a lie
on. A 5-pound wall-eyed pike was
caught last week. Although the lake
has been stocked with these fish, the
number caught has been very few.
The theatrical element about the
lake this year is very small. How
ever, Butts Pagan, of comedy com
pany fame, will be at the Espanong
this week for ten-days' stay. To
Judge from the signs being prepared
for him, he must be getting ready for

STORMS DEADLY HAVOC.
Fifteen Killed In Twin citiss Of North
west.

On Saturday evening fierce tornado
struck the cities of St. Paul and Min
neapolis and wrought devastation
through a long stretch of outlying
country. Fifteen persons were killed
and scores injured, while the property
loss is estimated at 100000 In each
Of the Twin Cities and over 100000
to crops and farm property.
The storm cut a swath through the
thickly settled portions of St. Paul, de-
nolishing two theaters, two churches,
a public school building and damaging
some Of the city's finest Office struc-
lures. Among the number were the
thirteen story Pioneer Press building,
the Minnesota club and the Globe
building.
The tornado tore of two spans of
the High bridge as neatly as If they
had been unbolted from the rest OF the
structure. The bridge SPAWNED into
West St Paul and hung 1870 feet above
the river. The immense mass of steel
was carried $50 feet to the flats along
the river, where steel girders and
heavy planks fell on twelve houses and
smashed them like eggshells. No one
was hurt, as all the residents had
seen the storm approaching and had
taken refuge in the natural caves in
the hillside.
The storm swept through the coun-
try at terrific speed and carried with
it frame buildings. trees and immense
quantities of other wreckage. Wood
en- fences were whipped out Of the
fields in sections hundreds Of yards in
length. Barns Allied with hay were
lifted with their contents, and the cen
ter of the storm cut lanes through
woods. uprooting or breaking every
tree, from one-quarter TO half mile
wide.

Free delivery BY Automobile.

The automobile will soon come into
general use in the rural free delivery
service Of the Postal Department. The
initiative was taken by carrier in
New Hampshire with a twenty-five
mile route to cover daily. With a
gasolene runabout he accomplishes his
task intwo hours. People on his route
receive their mail and newspapers
much earlier than before and the car
rier is left free in the afternoons to
parsue some other gainful occupation.
The two thousand miles of improved
roads in New Jersey present all the
desirable conditions for automobile
locomotion, and New Jersey rural de,
livery carriers win discover that they
can keep an automobile more cheaply
than horse and wagon and by using
one be afforded time to put in half a
days work at something else. Farmers
and villagers will welcome the intro
duction Of the automobile and will not
be too critical about the speed Of the
same on the public highways.
Rapid distribution of mail and news
papers makes also for increase in pub
iic enlightenment. It encourages the
epistolary habit, which is educational,
and brings the newspaper and the
magazine nearer to the rural reader.
incidentally the publishers will be
benefited by automobile mail and news.

RooseveIt's Proposal Ac-
copied by Gar.
THE FIRST ARBITRATION
Count Lamsdorff Accepts Note
Presented in Behalf of United
States.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 29.-The
Russian government has accepted the
proposals of the United States for q
Joint treaty of arbitration. The Ameri-
can proposal was submitted to Russia
in the form of note from Secretary
Hay. which was presented personally
to Foreign Secretary Lamsdorf by
Charge d'Affaires Eddy, Nov. q. Count
Lamsdorff has replied accepting in prin-
ciple in behalf of the imperial govern
ment the text of the treaty, but indi-
eating that Russia would propose some
slight notifications. These are ex-
pected 10 be drafted in few days, and
the final consummation of the new rap
prochement with Russia will not long
be delayed.
Although it was known that the
American government was DESTROYS of
negotiating arbitration treaties with
all the principal powers, the fact that
Russia had already been approached
with Il direct proposition did not leak
out until Count Lamsdorff had accept
ed it,
Therapprochement is expected tohave
a splendid effect on RussO-American
relations, especially as it marks Rus
sia's first adherence TO an arbitration
treaty with foreign power.
Considerable of the credit for the
prompt action upon the proposal of the
United States belongs TO Charge
d'Affaires Eddy. The existence of a
treaty or even a suggestion that such
step was contemplated was not gener-
ally known in st. Petersburg last night.
