To Serve Tomatoes.

Select as many round, smooth to-
matoes as may be required and slice
a piece from the top of each for a
cover. Scrape out space enough to
hold an egg. Put in first a small piece
of butter, some salt and pepper, then
drop in the egg, being careful not
to break the yolk. Put more butter
on top of the egg and adjust the COW
er. Bake about twenty minutes.
Grated cheese or bread crumbs may
be sprinkled ver the egg before the
is laid on.

Newest in Footwear.

Among the new things in footwear,
white kid in combination with patent
leather or colored leather is notice
ably prominent, and some of the
pumps in champagne or tan leather,
with a narrow band of white leather
around their tops and with fiat little
bows of white kid in front. are very
coouettish, whatever may be said Of
their practical qualities. Rumor has
it that white hosiery is to be worn
with these and other white trimmed
low shoes and slippers, as we'll as
with all the white shoes, and all white
stockings dear to our grandmothers
bid fair to come back to their own
again.

For the trimming Of a smart spring
Jacket the 3-sinch width is good. It
should be used to border the sleeves,
be they small at the cuff or wide, and
1t should be used around the collar

it be becoming, all the way around
the back. One can do such a very
great deal with a wide band of Per-
sian.

Norwegians Live Much Abroad.

The patriotic movement recalls the
fact that Norway's greatest writer's,
Ibsen and Bjornson, spent the greater
part of their lives, their best years,
abroad, while, that notwithstanding,
no one ever doubted the intense pa
triotism of the two men. Bjornson, a
born orator, was able to express his
views for the greatness of Norway by
word of mouth as well as in his writ
ing, and his son-in-law, Sigurd Ibsen,
son of the great Hendrick, was always
a faithful echo of his views.

But still he searched. and ever sought

Each fifth, each hope. each tale;

Still questions he, for 10!

THE SEES.AW.

For many years the public have de-
mandcd a reduction in passenger rates,
There is justice in their claim that
they should share in the enormous
prosperity Of these public corporations
which were created by their will and
avowcdly for the public convenience
and advantage. Last year the rail-
road receipts within this state were
over twenty millions Of dollars ana
the net profits OH their own showing
were over seven and Il half millions
of dollars in this State, notwithstand-
ing $4,000 and $4,000 excessive
salaries to official.
The reduction of passenger fares
onc-fourth OF q cent per mile was a
very moderate concession. Il passed
by Il threc-fourths vote In the House.
1t has been defeated in the Senate
Committee upon the plea that the
Railroad Commission had power to
make the reduction, as if the railroads
cared whether the reduction was made
by the Legislature or the Commission
Ii is a renewed application of the
seesaw which for a dozen years has
been used TO prevent the just de-

Whenever that demand has been pre-
sentcd in each succeeding Legislature
the railroad lobby have stoutly con-
tended that the matter should be left
to tile Railroad Commission. On that
plea the Legislature, usually the Sen

The most difficult matter before

At that crisis. the Confederate vcter-

that II all the other increased aD-

The Mountain and Plain Festival.

Denver, April 5.-There will be no
Festival of Mountain and Plain in Den
yer this year. This determination was
reached at meeting of the members
of the board of directors of the festi-
val association held at the office in the
Londoner block last night.
The action of the board of directors
was due to the receipt of the following
resolution passed by the Grand Army
executive committee:
"Moved by DR.. George w. Caufman,
seconded by Capt. F. G. Patterson,
that this committee request the man
ayers of the Festival of Mountain and
Plain to defer their entertainment un-
til the week beginning Monday, Sep
tember IL, 1905, and if they will do so
we will heartily give to them our en-
couragement. Motion unanimously
adopted"
This motion was transmitted in a
letter by General Cook.
Following is the statement of the
board of directors of the Mountain and
Plain Festival:
'Since the receipt of the above COM
munication members of this board
have conferred with numerous mer-
chants and contributors, and the con-
sensus of opinion seems to be that it
would be prejddicial to the business in
terests of our city to extend the festiv.
tiles over so long a period and the
main purpose of the entertainment OF
our visitors would be defeated, they be-
ing unable to remain in our city so long
a period, or be prevented from visiting
other sections of our state, and seeing
and studying our resources.
Therefore the following was
adopted by unanimous vote:
THAT no Festival of Mountain and
Plain be given during the year 1906"

To Test Wool and Linen.

1t often happens that woolen goods
will be doctored with cotton. To dis
cover this there are several tests that
can be made. One is the match test.
By applying lighted match to
sample of the goods, the manner in
which it burns will be evidence OF it
genuineness.
Wool will burn slowly while cotton
will go like a train of gunpowder.
Another test is to unravel the threads
and the cotton can then easily oe
detected.
To the experienced buyer the 'feel'
of linen is a sufficient indication OF
the quality, but for those who lack
this knowledge there is an old-fash-
ioned test which our grandmothers
used which is unfailing to show II
there is cotton in the wool Dampau
the finger and apply to the surface of
the linen fabric. If the moisture 10
seen on the other side you may know
at once it is linen. If it is slow in
coming through, without doubt there
is an admixture of cotton. Another
method is 10 unravel the threads, Al
in the wool test.
