cUcUMBERs WITHOUT POISON.

ne cucumber remains the aLlTdC-
ton and the terror of the spring sal
ad, and there is no agreement as to
the way in which it can be served SO
that it will be eaten at its best and
vet not necessarily be fatal to health.
To persons who cannot eat them with
impunity nothing is more poisonous
than the ordinary cucumbers of the
city market. They are old and stale
and full of poison to any but the
strongest stomach. Persons who can
not stand the sight of an ordinary Gu
cumber can with impunity eat fresh
ones just out of the garden.
1t is just as possible to restore any
hardened city cucumber to freshness
and innocuousness with no loss of
flavor, although few persons have
the patience to give the salad the
necessary treatment. Restaurant
keepers are unwilling to take so much
time except, perhaps, the Germans.
They soak thinly cut slices of Gu
cumber until they are soft. These
are kept for most of day in salt wa
ter and usually parsley and sometimes
chive is cut up in the salt water.
When the cucumbers are ready for
serving they are free from all poision
and they are in a measure free from
taste. There is no denying, however,
that they are digestible.
Some persons who have eaten these
cucumbers in the German and Hun
garian restaurants like them better
than the ordinary cucumbers served
here. They lack, however, the
crispness which every American de-
mands in salad.
This quality is retained by putting
the cut up cucumbers into ice cold wa
ter for half an hour before they are
served. After they have been cut
they should be soaked in salt water
for at least five hours. Then the
poison is gone, but the salad is soft
and limp.
Put for half an hour just before
they are served into ice water, they
will be white, crisp, tasteful and free
from the power to disagree with the
most delicate stomach. After being
treated in this way they may be serv-
ed very prettily on plate in the
form of the whole cucumber before it
has been cut.
To do this the slices should not be
separated in the salt water. A hat
pin run through every cucumber after
it has been sliced will keep it intact.
Served in this way with fish or as a
salad the appearance of the cucum-
Der is very attractive. But to suit
the varieties of taste it is easier to do
more in salad when the slices are
not kept together.
Cucumbers cut very thin and of
course soaked in advance, mix very
deliciously with alligator salad, and
it is best in the case of this combina-
tion to break away from the alligator
pear salad rule of using lemon juice
and take vinegar.
The taste of the two is not dissimi.
lar, and there must be pungency
in the dressing which alligator pears
alone do not need.
With thin scallious cut lengthwise
the cucumbers blend in way that
any epicure would love. and cucum-
bers with green peppers, cut length
wise, are a combination that offers
some novelty after the inevitable let.
tuce that most persons seem to think
are the only salads in the market.

CAL, for many years, and knows Wal
ter Scott almost as well as he would

mas seen the cowboy rise from a poor
cow-puncher and miner to q million-
aire, and he says there is no ques.
ton as to his owning a mine that ia
producing ore paying anywhere from
$4,000 ton to almost 500, 900 a ton
HE states that Scott's mine Is locat.
ed about 159 miles from Barstow, in
the heart OF the Death Valley DESERT
Its exact location is unknown to any,
one except Scott and three OF his asy
sociates, who reside in the east. Tho
cowboy would go to his mine, load q
few sacks with ore, put the sacks on
btrros and pack the ore into Barstow.
He would then take il to San Fran
cisco and cash II in, for sums ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Many have tried to follow the miner
and discover the location of these rich
mines, but the distance is so far that
II has been an impossibility for any
one to do so, because Scott alone,
knows the location of the water holes
along the way in the deadly desert.
How long 1t will be before some
one else discovers the location of
these mines. estimated to be worth
many millions, is merely conjecture.

Gle today America is represented by
several hundred delegates and large

the West Indies, China, New Zealand,
South Africa, Austria, France, Italy,
Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden,
Russia and other parts OF the world.
1t is the first time that the worlds
Baptists have assembled as united
body. More than a century ago such
project was mooted, but the great
continental wars caused the matter to
be dropped. A little over a decade
ago the idea was revived, but it was
not until last year that definite plans
were laid for the conference. The re-
sponse from Baptists in all parts OF
the world mas been such as to sur
prise even the most sanguine pro
moters OF the movement.
The conference is TO make no at
tempt at legislation, at drafting or re-
vising creeds, or even at passing any
votes. Its chief object is the unilica-
ton of the Baptists of the world, the
denomination of Baptists now being
composed of some fifteen sub-denom-
nations of the sect, with as many
different methods OF service. The
gathering will discuss the promotion
of every factor tending toward indi
vidualism, the separation of the
church and state, and the democracy
Of church government.
"Stundists," this being the name OF
the Baptists faith in Russia, is also
certain to claim much attention. Re

nomination will be sought under the
present government of the czar.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 11.-Jailor
Ploeger and three other men are out

Helmbold of Newport, Ky.
Policemen Flynn and Ratican are
out on bail, having been arrested
charged with resisting United States
officers in discharge of their duty, and
a warrant has been issued against
Mayor Helmbold on that charge.
These were among the results of
the efforts of some friends of Caleb
Powers. former secretary of state OF
Kentucky, under indictment for COM
piicity in the murder of VIM. Goebel,
to furnish the cell of the prisoner with
more comforts than usually fall to the
lot of inmates.

mayors orders 10 place Powers in a
cell other than that prepared for him,
the mayors front teeth were knocked
out. revolvers were drawn and almost
the entire police force of Newport was
called into action.
The jailor asserts that the order OF

that official assumed jurisdiction IN
the Powers case and committed him
to Newport Jail gave the prisoner tc

the railroad people do not mind that.
What they want is settlers along the
lines of their road.
Canada's Inducements.
The reason for the sudden move
ment toward the Canadian northwest
is thus stated by MIR. Griffin:
I'VE are Offering your farmers
lands at an average price OF So an
acre. on which he can make as much
profit as he can from the lands in
the United States which cost him
anywhere from $40 TO 500 an acre.
We haye the best wheat lands in
the world. We can prove to him by
the official crop reports. covering a
period of twenty years, that the av-
erage yield is not less than nineteen
bushels to the acre. and that it is
not infrequent to have a yield of forty
bushels.
"In the United States all the best
farm lands are taken up. We have
just as good as your best, but they
have not been taken before because
it was Inevitable that your country
south of the line should be settled
up before the attention of settlers
was directed to our resources.
Attracting Americans.
"But now this time has come. II
has been accelerated by the success
sion OF fine crops and the abounding
prosperity of all agricultural inter
ests in both Canada and the states.
And this is the sort OF thing that
goes like a snowfall. One settler
pioneers the country. He makes a
big success, and the first thing he
does is to write back home and tell
his friends. They come and try, and
tell theirs, and the thing grows in a
geometrical ratio. All the time work
OF education is going on. Misappre-
tensions in regard to the climate and
nature of the country are dissipated.
So, TOO, the people find that we have
as large a measure of liberty as they
have on the other side of the line.
Commercially and economically. the
two great nations of North America
are being drawn and knit more closely
together"

WHY AMERICANS ARE
HIKING TO CANADA
New Wheat Country Furnishes Opening for Cap
itaI, Enterprise and Enerey-Great Things
Doing by Men From the States.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 1.-THE
largest dealer in land in the world is
doubtless Fred 7. Griffin, in charge
of the land department of the Can
adian Pacific railroad. The company
now has 1900, 900 acres of fiat, rich
wheat land, which is being put on the
market. Mr.. Griffin's most thriving
trade is with the people OF the United
States.
These Canadians are very frank in
declaring their purpose to annex the
United States-or at least to annex as
many as possible of its individual citi-
ems. Mr.. Griffin declares that one
good, wide-awake farmer from the
states, is, for immediate results, worth
four or five of the settlers who come
from Europe.
The American knows what he
comes here for" said Mr.. Griffin.
He probably has raised wheat in
Minnesota, or Iowa, or Indiana and
he understands the business of farm
ing on large scale. He will get his
gang plow and turn up anywhere from
320 to 1000 acres, and in the first
year he will probably pay for his land
and machinery. | heard of a case yes
terday of a man from Iowa who put
about 260 acres under cultivation, took
5000 bushels OF wheat from il, and
not only paid for his land and ma
chinery, but had $4,000 left Now the
immigrant from the old world would
never think of doing this. He is used
to doing things in a smaller way, and
IL takes him two or three years TO
see how the thing is done"
The 100000 acres of land which
the Canadian Pacific is now retailing
to settlers, is what remains of a
grant OF 25,000,00O acres of land given
TO the road by the Canadian govern
ment nearly twenty years ago.
And now these lands have suddenly
acquired value. A Short time ago a
private land company bought from the
railroad an even 100000 acres, and
In less than a year had disposed of
the whole lot to people of the Unit
ed States, and incidentally. had made
clear million dollars in profit. But

Kansas City, Mo. July 1.-THE
Scott special on the Santa Fe, racing
for a record between Los Angeles and
Chicago. reached Argentine, Kan, at
3:37 this morning and departed for
the north at $3.50. The train was due
here at $50. and was thus l hour
