Weekly Cooking Less0n--SaLads
By coRNELIA c. BEDFORD.

Fish, meats or vegetables, either raw
or cooked (according to kind) when
mixed with an acid dressing and gar
nished with lettuce or other green's, are
called salads. They may form course
by themselves for any meal except
breakfast, are appetizing and refresh
ing, especially in summer, and point out
to the economical housewife a profit
able manner in which TO- utilize odds
and ends. - p
Several kinds of cooked foods may be
used in compromising salad, providing
their favors harmonize. AS, for in
stance, cold mutton or beef with toma-
toes diced or in Jelly; celery, apples and
bers; cold cod or salmon, cucumbers
and watercress; peas, beans, beets, ETC.;
in a macedonia or mixture. u =,
Keep each kind Of food by itself un-
til ready to mix and dish the salad.
From cold cooked fish remove skin and
bones; free cold meats from bone, girls
tie and fat; rinse sauce or dressing from
the leftover vegetables, drain and let
stand in cold water until needed.
The general rule covering the major
ity of salads is that the ingredients
must not be finely chopped, as the re-
suit bears too close a resemblance to
hash. Dice meats and vegetables; use
a sharp knife, that the cutting may be
clean, clear and. decisive; break fish In
fakes. -
Wash raw green lettuce, cabbage,
etc, very thoroly in cold water, that it
may be clean and crisp; drain and dry
thoroly on soft cloth. A majority Of
cooked ingredients are improved by
marinating (sprinkling) with little
French dressing an hour or two before
the salad is mixed; later, mayonnaise OF

may be added. Recipes for salad dress

THE CITY ELECTIONS.

Quite warm but thoroughly good
natured contest will be waged in this
city next Tuesday when the annual
city election comes off. For Mayor
A. Dahlem and M. L. Webb will be
opposing candidates. Both are old
soldiers, long time residents of the
city, and whichever one wins the city
will be assured of a good business
administration.
In the first ward R. L. Palmer, L. w
Gingery, Jos. Miller, John Boutelle
and Anton Larson are all candidates
for aldermen. A spirited contest is
promised. There are only two to be
elected and the Herald confidently
predicts that three of the gentlemen
will be defeated.
In the second ward harmony prevails
in chunks and there are only two
candidates, E. A. Richards and T. W.
Peart. 1t is safe bet that, as the
ward is entitled to two aldermen, both
gentlemen will be elected by good
maiorities.
No one has entered the lists against
the Hon. Henry Keller for the
Treasurership and the chances are
overwhelmingly in favor of his
managing the city finances for another
year at least.

THE GERMAN STUDENT

Rev. Oehler's exposition of German
Student Life for the ladies of the
Gradatim club, on Wednesday last,
was highly edifying and much en-
joyed by those in attendance.
The main points touched upon was
the number, standing, and different
modes of instruction of Germon uni
versities in comparison with those of
the United States. He spoke of the
Civil Court and University Senate
together with the right of University
authorities to try all minor offenses
and punish by imprisonment, students
who are found guilty. He touched
briefly upon the student Jail at Hell
dleburg. Also he spoke of the differ
ent schools which permit dueling and
the manner and extent to which it is
carried. He told of the different
classes of instructors and those who
are pensioned I'm after life.
Most interesting was the description
of German student out of door life in
comparison with the harmful out of
door games of Americans.
The StudentSemi Christian societies
in which the younger students are
divided into families presided over by
an elder student who is expected to
look after the improvement and
general welfare of the family must be
conclusive to mutual moral and mental
improvement.
A rising vote of thanks was given
Mr.. Oehler for the instruction afforded
the club on this occasion. The club
will meet with Miss Robbins on
Wednesday, April 4th.

Albert Dahlem was born March LIST,
1874, in Stuttgart, Wurttermberg,
Germany, emmigrating with his
parents to the United States in 1858,
settling in New York city. At the
age of ten years he entered the employ
of Joseph Wick, New York city, a
small German book seller, as an
Grand boy. Soon afterwards he was
advanced to the responsible position
of one of the clerks and he remained
in this position for ten years. In 1863
Mr.. E. Steigner assumed the business
which has since grown to be the
largest German book and publishing
house in the United States.
On March 16th,, 1865, Mr.. Dahlem
enlisted in the regular army for a
term of three years and was trans
ported to Governors Island and was
assigned to Co. D. 10th U. 8. Infantry,
where he met and became acquainted
with Fred Williams and Henry Keller
who were assigned to the same
regiment. In April 1865 he was sent
to the front to City Point, Va, and
was sent from there to Petersburg,
arriving about the time of the sur
render of the rebel army under Gen.
Joseph Johnston. At the time of the
discharge of the volunteer army the
regiment was sent to Washington to
perform garrison duty and participated
in the grand review at Washington in
May 1865.
In the spring ot1866 the regiment
was sent to Dakota to protect the
frontier and Companies D and F,
under command of Lieut.. Col. Robert
H. Hall, were stationed at Fort
Abecrombie. On March 10th, 1868,
Mr.. DahIem was discharged from the
army by reason of expiration of his
tern of service, having risen by
meritorious conduct from the position
of private, first to the rank of Corporal
and afterwards to the rank OF First
Sergeant of his company.
After his discharge Mr.. Dahlem
went to New York city to visit friends
and relatives but finding New York
overcrowded he took Horace Greely's
advice and event west" arriving in
this city in 1868 and has resided here
ever since.
Since that time his history. has been
part of the history of Sank Centre and
is we'll known to every citizen. Start
ing in a small way by steadfast
attention and honest dealing he has
built up one of the largest businesses
in the city. Though often importuned
this is the first time he has ever
consented to stand for an Office.
1t is not the policy of the HeralE
to mix in local affairs. We believI'
the citizens of this city are thoroughly!
qualified to make a choice of they
officers without any advice from us bra'
we cannot refrain from congratulating
them on the fact that they have two
such worthy gentlemen from which to
make selection as are the candidates
for Mayor in the coming election.

corks from Waste Paper.

A remarkable invention has Just
been perfected and patented. It is a
machine which makes corks out of
waste paper and paper pulp. All
kinds of waste paper can be made into
corks, which are superior to the regu-
lar sort, as they are not affected by
acids or oils; they have been tested
by leading chemists and the largest
users OF corks, and it is claimed for
them that they are far superior to the
old style in every way.
