Cooking Schools in oermny.

As result Of recent conference
between the kaiserin and the Prusian
minister OF education, an attempt will
be made to make instruction in cook
ing and other branches of household
management obligatory in all Prus.
sian schools for girls The principal
objection to the scheme has hitherto
been the heavy cost OF erecting and
fitting out kitchens. This has now
been overcome by the empress. who
has promised to contribute largely
from her private purse and act as tn,
treasurer for public subscription. II
is thought $4,000 can b, collected in
this way.
The question will be raised in tn,
forthcoming session of the Prussiin
Diet, and If the legislature is prepar
I'd to vote the additional necessary

make this instruction compulsory

Farmers find many curious things
happening around them every day
which they can not understand,
and nobody, even the scientists,
can explain for them. Why, for
instance, does horse strain a drink
of water through its lips? Why
does COW poke her entire face in
to the bran mash, eat all she can.
then lick her nostrils with her
tongue? Why does the chicken
drink exactly opposite to the horse
and COW, having to hold its head
up when it swallows a drink of
water? Then note the pigeon, of
the same feathered family, as it
keeps its bill immersed while drink
ing. But dog laps the water in
its mouth. This animal, moreover,
never chews its food, while the cat,
his companion household pet, al
ways chews thoroughly before swal-
lowing. How is it that falling to
masticate does not hurt a dog,
while in case of all other animals,
including man, unchewed food
causes dyspepsia. Why has COW
a cud and why can a horse shiver
its hide to drive away flies? These
questions an many more like them
that might be asked will show us
that we are far from knowing it all.

Railway Kings of America.

OF railway presidents in the
United States there are hundreds,
says Current Literature for April,
but OF railway kings there are
but seven. The president is the
executive of but a single line.
The king is the financial ruler of
a system of affiliated lines. He
may not be even ap officer in any
one OF the lines and yet be king
of the system. Mr.. J Pierpont
Morgan, for instance, does not
hold an important railroad Office,
yet he is the monarch over one
fifth the mileage of the United
States. EX-Judge William H.
Moore, the king of the Rock
Island system, is only a director
of the road. Ability to run a
railroad is one thing. Ability to
finance a railroad or a system of
railroads is another thing.
The seven kings in the order of
their Importance are: J. Pierpont
Morgan, Edward H. Hartman,
William K. Vanderbilt, Henry G.
Frick, James j. Hill, George j.
Gould and William H. Moore.
Their domain comprises more
than than 161, 900 miles of rail
road tracks With earnings Of
$1,776.O0O,OOO a year. Outside
Of their seven dominions are to
be found but % per cent of the
total mileage of the country and
but Is per cent of the railroad
earnings. This nation Of forty
five sovereign states seems to be
entering into a struggle with
these seven kings and their army
Of officers and employees.

Origin of Idaho. ;"

Con Doty of Bayhorse, Ida, sub
mits the following to a north Idaho
paper as his idea of the origin and
significance of "Idaho:"
"In 1861 President Lincoln ap
pointed a man by the name of Fitch
captain over an emigrant train.
The train started from St. Paul,
Mimi, and was bound for Walla
Walla, via the northern route Null
Ian road). At this time the Indians
were restless, and weak or small
parties were forbidden to travel un-
til certain number of wagons
were in train; then captain had
to be elected before the train was
allowed to move. The train mem
Toned consisted of ia wagons.
Fitch was captain. Captain Fitch
had a little daughter named Ida.
Ida's mother was dead Little Ida
accompanied her father to Walla
Walla. Capt. Fitch did not like to
have Ida out of his sight very much,
SO when Fitch would Lose sight Of
Ida he would call Ida, Ida. Ida
would answer by saying Ho. In a
short time the train people gave to
Ida the name of Idaho The
name pleased Capt. Fitch. After
the train arrived to Walla Walla
Capt. Fitch and little Ida returned
to St. Paul.
afterwards Capt. Fitch went to
Washington City. When congress
created the territory Of Idaho, Cap
tain Fitch suggested the name OF
Idaho for the new territory. The
same was accepted and little Ida
Fitch was immortalized.

cat one time the writer was per-
sonally acquainted with Captain
Fitch and little Ida, but at this
writing cannot recall the captains
first name. This statement is au-
thentic and can be relied upon 1
can find no authority that the word
Idaho signifies mountain gem or
gem of the mountains. "-Ex.

FRIDAY. APRIL 26, 1907.
The Famine In China.

Last Sunday the Mormon peo-
pie performed a splendid charity
by voting twenty tons offiour to
the starving Chinese. Whether
the food ever reaches its destina-
tion or not does not matter-the
measure of the charity is the
same. But turning the other
way there is another land where
some millions OF people are in
sore want, where every morning
little children cry for a crust for
breakfast and go supperless to
bed at night. And these hungry
ones are of Caucasian stock, as
sensitive and as brainy as our
own race. They live in "The
Land Of the Great Hunger" In
the Outlook Leroy Scott tells of
them.
His opening sentence is as fol
lows: 1.-The Great Hunger that
turks always at Russia's door
has entered; and thirty millions
OF people are gripped in it's con-
Stunning fangs. And by the time
the harvest of 1907 shall have
vanquished its great figure, God
alone can guess how many hun
dreds of thousands ofnew wooden
crosses will widen the peasant
graveyards."
The famine extends over one
third of Russia and is the worst
that country ever suffered. The
writer in the Outlook did not
write from hearsay. He went to
the famine region or at least to
Samara, one of the border dis
tricts of the famine region, which
beginning on the Steppes north
of the Caspian sea extends over
one-third OF Russia. In his mar
rative he gives his experiences
and his talks with the people.
Their crop was an entire failure;
they have nothing to eat save
the scanty rations served by the
Government and the Red Cross
society. The picture he draws is
too pitiable TO repeat; it reveals
a land stuffed full of horrors, sui
fering which to merely witness
breaks the hearts OF men, and
when, beyond it Csc tries to think
OF the effect on the minds of those
saved from it will be, it leaves
the impression that as nation
it is no wonder that Russia is
trem bling on the verge OF anar-
chy and chaos.
Our land which is feeding a
part OF the world for money,
should heed this call and feed Il
little portion of that dreadful re-

ROOSEVELT IS MAD.

May Turn Statehood Down.

Washington, Sept. 2S-News that
the Oklahoma election has gone
against Frank Frantz does not set
well in administration circles here nor
in Oyster Bay. Ii has been whispered
for several weeks here that the only
chance Oklahoma had for statehood

the election of Frantz. The president

times. Now he il opposed
He does not want the seven elector-

intensifes his opposition to the docu.
