IT does really look as though the old
laws covering our national domain
should all be repealed and new ones en-
acted with view to excluding every
body. but acutal home-seekers. Millions
and millions Of acres have, under the
present system, gotten into the hands
Of syndicates and spectators. The
public lands should be reserved for
those who win utilize them for agri-
cultural purposes and TINS add to the
National prosperity by increasing the

backbone OF national character and he
who desires an opportunity to cultivate
the soil should have preference over the

The great bronze doors designed for
the main entrance to the new Pennsyl-
vania State Capitol at Harrisburg were
hung last Saturday in what is officially
known as the Peoples Portal" These
doors are similar In design to those at
the entrances to the north and south
wings, except that they are more elab-
orate and about twice the size of the
others They cost $50, 900. and are re-
garded as among the finest pieces of
bronze work in this county.

Suddenly, without any preliminary sound
In the midst of the utter stiffness. the door
of my room swung slowly open. The NO

darkness of the hall behind her. the yellow
light from my lamp beating upon her eager
and beautiful face. l could see al glance

the swish of the leaking cylinder. He had
set the engine at work. The lamp still

Although most plum pudding recipes
seem to be practically the same, each

sirable. She will not reveal it for

The best way is to take the founda-

your own taste some wrinkle that viii

portant steps is the weighing of the
ingredients. This must be done with
great care. If measuring cups are not
at hand it is well to remember that a
common breakfast cup holds half a pint
and that a gill is contained in a small
winegIass. After the pudding has been
made pack it solidly in mold or in
bag which has been well buttered and
dredged with graduated sugar.
A large pudding requires nine or ten
hours boiling, and a small one about
five. If the water boils away, replenish
it from the boiling teakettle. After the
pudding is cooked hang it in a cool
place until it is to be used. Then, still
in its mold, plunge it into boiling water
