Jailer Mecks states that he has as surance that the asylum authorities at Little Rock will take six of the insaDe inmates of the Jefferson county jail off his hands this week. The situation at the jail is a most unfortunate one, eight insane persons being confined in the building, the c; pacity of which is already ovcrtaX- cd. and the insane people are a source of great annoyance to the jailer. the other prisoners and the people in the vicinity. In addition to the noise the unforttnates make, it is impossible tG keep the iail in a sanitary condi- tion. and there is danger of conta- eie1ls diseases developing as the re suit of the present condition.

Rolling Potatoes.

Choose potatoes to boil in regard to size. For instance, one day they should all be large or small. rarely large and small at the same time. for this necess1tates cooking the smaller ones until they are almost In shreds to get the large ones sufficiently tender to serve. If there Is no other way, then the large ones should be boiled from ten to fifteen minutes before the smaller ones are put in the water, SC that they will both be done at the same time. To test potatoes with fork when they are cooking leaves a ragged surface that spells the appearance when they are served A skewer or 8 knitting needle should be run gently into the center of the vegetable, fOi either one of these makes clean small hole that Is not noticeable after 1t has been withdrawn.

HILL FAvORS RECIPROCITY
RAILROAD PRESIDENT BELIEVES
IT WOULD STOP EXODUS
TO CANADA.

Chicago, Jan. 10.--President James
J. Hill of the Great Northern railroad
was in Chicago during the day and
held extended conferences with the
officials of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy road. Concerning the recent
Indictment of officials of the Burling'
ton road in connection with charges of
granting rebates Mr.. Hill said he
would be glad to have the matter
brought to trial as speedily as pos
sible. He declared that he was In
favor of reciprocity with Canada in
order to stop the exodus Of American
settlers, manufacturers and capital to
the English province.
Below the equator" declared Mr..
Hill, there Is but per cent of the
worlds population; above the balance
of the people. Our trade with Mexico
and South America Is trivial. but our
trade with Canada Is $200,0OO.000 a
year and it should be taken care OF.
It Is not growing as 1t should and we
are not only losing trade but We are
losing capital and citizens as well.
American capital finds 1t cheaper to
export from Canada than it does from
this country under existing laws"
