IMPORTERS SALON OPEN.
Madison Square Garden Beautifully
Decorated for Occasion.
,recisI pispatcb 10 The Star.

SFetlsI Dlspatcn 10 Inc Star
NEW YORK, December 2S.-The
fourth annual importers automobile
salon in Madison Square Garden opened
it's doors this evening and will continue
until January 4.
When the doors of the garden were
opened at o'clock the motorloving
public saw the most beautiful show of
the year. The importers automobile
salon of 1905 brings to mind the bril-
lance of the recent Paris salcn, the
fame of which has spread around the
world.
The visitor. whether motorist or cas-
ual spectator, was amply rewarded. A
long colonnade reaches completely
across the Madison avenue end OF the
auditorium. On either end of the colon
made stands an obelisk, jewel crowned
and brilliantly Illuminated by electric
lamps. Straight down the middle aisle
is the central figure in the decoration
scheme. 1t is "A monument to its sculp-
tors aria group of four 1ife-slze fig
ures. one at each corner of a tCn-foot
pedestal, surrounding which is plas-
tic representation of the famous Spirit
of Speed in heroic size.
Still farther down the center aisle at
the 4th avenue end of the auditorium is
a fountain gushing and sparkling be-
meath the myriads of electric lights
shining upon it. The basin is thirty
feet across; in the center is q nymph,
from whose uplifted hand the stream
pours into the pool below. Behind this
fountain. reaching across the entire
eastern end of the auditorium, IS a gil
gantic painting representing a wood
land scene. in the vista of which is
pergola. Viewing this picture at dis
lance. say from the furthermost end of
the garden, the illusion is produced
that the pergola in the woods is a con-
rinuatfon of the general decorative
scheme of the whole auditorium. From
such a vantage point the spectator sees
the arena of the garden transformed
into a Partisan boulevard scene.

GREAT ENGLISH HOMES.
Estates That Ite Takes Huge For
tunes to Maintain.
From London Tit-Bits.

From London I1t-Blts.
1t is pathetic fact that there are seq
eral men I'm the United Kingdom who
would consider themselves on the brink
of bankruptcy if they were reduced by
any evil stroke of fate to a mere pittance
of 81 600 a week-who would find it SIM
ply impossible to rub along anyhow on the
income of a simple millionaire, which
would be barely sufficient in some cases to
pay the expenses of the lordly pleasure
houses which they have inherited from
their ancestors
The Duke of Devonshire, for example,
has no fewer than seven of these stately
homeS-SiX in England and one in Ireland
each of them fit for the reception OF a
king, and in not one of which, as he con-
fessed the other day. has he lived long
enough to explore thoroughly. Probably
he himself does not know within $1,000
how much these palatial homes cost yearly
to maintain, but the annual cost has been
said to make a very big hole in 100000
In Wentworth Woodhouse, which is
only one of his four palaces, Lord Fitz-
william owns the largest private house in
England. 1t has frontage of 900 feet, its
hall is SO enormous that four suburban
villas could be built inside 1t, and its own
er could live in a different room every day
for six weeks and still leave several rooms
unseen. The Duke of Portland owns five
regal homes in England and Scotland, the
value of which runs into millions, and
which, with the attached gardens and es-
tate.- keep hundreds OF servants employed.
At Walbeck he has more than thirty acres
of kitchen gardens alone; in the glass
houses and garden proper he employs
about seventy men and boys, and his hor-
ticultural bill for this one house is said to
exceed $4,000 a year.
Blenheim Palace, the Duke of Marlbor-
ough's Oxford seat, is so colossal that the
late duke used to declare he spent &SO0
year on putty alone for his window panes.
1t actually cost $500, 900 to build in days
when money was more valuable than it is
today. 1t is 34S feet long has fifteen stair
cases. and when it was repaired some time
ago his grace found it necessary to sell
his pictures and books to pay the cost,
which amounted to more than G3OOOO.
The Duke of Northumberland owns five
stately seats, at one of which-Syon
House. Bentford-a staff of thirty or forty
men is kept busy. largely in the mag
nificent kitchen garden and lighthouses.
And yet the duke spends only small por-
ton of the year in this princely home, the
rental value of which probably exceeds
the lord chancellor's official income.
The Marquis of Butte has five seats In
England, Scotland and Wales, and one of
them, Mountstuart Rothesay. covers an
acre of ground, has 100 rooms and has
actually cost over G2,0GO.OOO, representing
even at moderate per cent a value of
GS0,O0O year. One can easily understand
that his lordship's income of G23O.O0O a
year h not a penny too much for the de-
mands of it.

YEAST is A PLANT.
But It Can Be Seen as Such Only
With the Microscope.

From Good Health.
Yeast is a small plant which can be
seen only with the aid of the microscope.
There are two varieties, wild and cult
waited, for these tiny plants can be i'm
proved through cultivation as larger
plants can be-
Firms which make yeast for the market
must grow these plants quite as carefully
as the florist grows his flowers. Care
must be taken that they do not become
mixed with other varieties, therefore de-
stroying the culture.
In some laboratories where yeast is
grown two separate buildings are kept
for this purpose. These are both care
fully dsinfected, and if it is found that
the Yeast becomes contaminated in one
building the culture is started anew and
the other building previously disinfected
before moving into il.
The purest culture of yeast is proba bly,
obtained in the compressed yeast cakes.
These can be kept only for a very short
time, and then in a cool place, which rem
ders it inconvenient for the warmer parts
of the country. In this case, of course,
the dry yeast cakes must be used, which,
when fresh, are perhaps quite as good as
the compressed, except that they require
a longer time and should be started in the
sponge instead of the stiff dough.
This plant, like bacteria, requires
warmth. moisture and food. The materials
out of which the bread is made should al
ways be warmed and the dough should
always be kept in warm place The
temperature most favorable is about that
of the body, little less than 100 degrees.
There is always considerable moisture
in bread and plenty of food for the plant.
The food which it requires is sugar. This
1t obtains from the wheat, there being
some sugar in the flour and more sugar is
also formed from the starch.
AS the yeast plants feed upon sugar
they break it down into two substances
alcohol and a gas known as carbon di-
| oxide, or carbonic acid gas. AS the gas
is formed it is held by the gluten, which
is very elastic substance. When the
bread is put into the oven the heat eX-
pands the tiny bubbles of gas, causing the
bread to rise. or to become much lighter.
The alcohol formed. being volatile prod
uct, passes off in the baking.

racing purposes on the continent. This

Card of Thanks.

The editor of this paper would
he the last man on earth to know
ingly say word to hurt the feel
ings of any of its subscribers or
citizens, especially at time when
the dark winged messenger of death
has brought sorrow to the home,
but from the best of motives we
desire to call the attention OF our
readers to the custom of publish
ing "cards of thanks tits u GUS
tom that has outgrown its pur-
pose, if it ever had one. When
sickness and death comes to your
home it is only natural that your
friends and neighbors should do
what they could to assist you.
They would be heathens If they
did not. They know from the ex-
preston of your face that you are
and deeply appreciate all
they do, and it is not necessary to
rush into print and tell the world
that your neighbors were kind
when you were in trouble. The
reading public are becoming tired
of the old stereoty ped card of
thanks You can express to your
friends, by look or word your
thankfulness in a more impressive
manner than you can in column
of cold type.

Looks Good to
StOckmen.
Indications Are for Plenty of
Water and Range Feed
This Summer.

Stockmen predict that the CON-
ing spring and summer will be one
of the most profitable the stock
raisers of Nevada have ever ex-
perienced. The snowfall has done
much good on the ranges and the
loss of stock has been nominal.
Every inch of snow at this time of
the year means more water and
more feed during the summer and
indications point to an abundance
of nourishing grasses on the ranges
this spring.
The general stock situation Is
considered very favorable by Geo.
w. Collahan, a well-known wool
buyer, who said in an interview
with the Reno Gazette.
"fhe winter has been an usual
ly wet one and there will be water
in most of the springs throughout
most of the summer. There will
be plenty of moisture in the moun-
tains and on the lower ranges and
all stockmen will have fat and
healthy stock this spring and sum-
mer.
1.-THE stockmen of Nevada look
ed for a severe winter and provid-
ed for it. On most of the ranges
plenty of hay has been provided SO
that the stock will not suffer in
case the snowfall is unusually heavy.
As yet there have been no stock
losses reported on account of the
cold weather or snow and all the
stockmen in all portions of the
State are feeling prosperous. i
predict an ansually~ large crop of
wool this season and think that
Nevada will be able to have some-
thing to say in regard to the price
of wool after the shearing season
is over.
"In the eastern and southern
PORTIONS of the State the ranges
are at present covered with snow,
but very few cattle or sheepmen
have lost any stock and no trouble
is looked for during the remainder

All Prisoners Are
Photographed.

A desirable innovation at the
state prison is the taking of the
photographs of the inmates, which
is now being done. Although the
prison has been in existence forty
years or more this is the first time
that such a thing has been tried.
Contrary to expectations the in
mates submitted, as rule, with
good grace to the operation. But
few of them made any very siren
uous objections although some
tried TO defeat the purpose of the
officials by making faces while un-
der the care of the photographer.
The pictures consist of two views
OF each prisoner-profile and front
view--and the work was done with
marvellous celebrity the photograph
ers, Messrs. Smith and Lennon,
disposing of their subjects in
squads OF six at time.
Some of the prisoners were quite
stuck up" over the proposition
and took great pains to see that
their bangs were properly arrang-
ed. They went SC far as to try to
make a deal with the photograph
ers for supply in quantities. As
usual, the more homely of the men
were the most anxious to invest in
photographs. Which goes to show
that human nature is just the same
in Jail or out.
The photographers met with un-
usual in getting good counterfeit
presentments"-as naturally might
be expected in a prison-and War

pretty a display of faces in the
