In the average home dinners a la russo
Ire not often served for the reason that
they require a certain amount Of skilled
Service. Where a housekeeper has but
one maid this method OF serving a meal
may be used now End then, providing
the maid has sufficient skill to finish the
cooking Of such dishes as cannot be
taken up until the last moment. and,
withal, is deft, intelligent, and under
stands how to serve the meal
This form of service requires that all
dishes shall De served from the side
board, thus relieving both host and
hostess OF the burden Of carving and
serving Plates for each course are
placed before the diners and the vari-
Gus dishes are presented to each in turn
by the maid. who offers the food at the
left side. thus allowing freedom in the
use Of the right hand for transferring
food from dish TO plate. Where but one
eish Of a kind appears on a course-as
roast beef-it is admissible to put one
D two thin slices on the plate while at
the sideboard. Meals of ceremony re-
quire that plate shall at all times
stand before each person; hence the
maid may with one hand withdraw the

service plates. as they are called, may be
OF special design, in which case they
are again replaced by another plate
when all traces of the preceding course
have been removed ana a new course
comes in ready FOR service. This, now
ever. cannot and should not be attempt
ed unless at least two maids are in at

WEEKLY COOKING LESSON
VEGETABLE COOKERY

a good general rule 10 remember is
that green vegetables should be cooked
in hard water while dry vegetables and
many root vegetables should be cooked
in soft water
When water has been boiling in the
kettle for some time il has parted with
its gases and becomes hard; hence the
Importance Of using water which has
been freshly boiled. A teaspoonful Of
salt added 70 a gallon Of water will
make Ii hard while a half of a level
teaspOOnful OF baking soda to the same
quantity renders 1t soft.

all those varieties which grow above the
ground while i'm d fresh state. Dried

be-ns, peas and lentils. also such de
rivatives of corn as hominy and samp:
rice and maCaroni are also meant when
to be served as an accom- anlment TO
meat or fish.

New York, Oct. 25.-A scene. never 10 be forgotten by those who witness sd is, occurred on the stock exchange today. From the opening hours there was a feeling of insecurity among the brokers and every move was watched with fear. Money frightened as the day advanced. At tmo o'clock came ihs crisis. Money was practically un- obtainabie at any price. Stocks of all kind. broke. 4 scene impossible of descri ption followed. Frenzied brok- CTS begged for funds. offering one hundred per cent for call loans. The exchange resolved itself into an un- coutrolable mob of frantic men. When il seemed that the bottom had dropped from eyery thing. and that a financial panic WAS inevitable, 8 messenger, tired. dishegeIed and bresthless from his exertions. succeeded io making the announcement that J. Pierpont Morgan had twenty-five million dol lars which be would loan at 10 per cent. Another messenger followed with an announcement that the Rocke- felier millions were available at s per cent, As though an electric shock had struck the building. every person present jumped into the air with q wild shout of joy. Brokers, hardened by years Of experience, men who had become accustomed to confronting f. Dsncial ruin with calm exterior, cried like little children. Some broke cut in wild. roliicking song, and aged, wbite-hsired men danced in an ecstacy of joy. Shouts from thousand tbroats filled the air, ahd shook the building to it's foundation.

MINING MOVES
What Was, is Now, and Destined to Become..A Brilliant Future

From Mondays Dailyl

There Is no cloud without it's silver lining. 4 ray of light is behind the cloud cast over this particular section by the failure of the Brown-Alaska concern, and bids fair to beam forth as an early day from that which has for the past year enveloped the Alas ka Copper company in mist of doubt and uncertainty. through the re-organ- izatiou which promises a renewal of operations at the Coppermount sInelt- er in the very near future. That property is TOW in the hands of part ies possessed of abundant means, and who declare their intention to place t sguarely or it's feet once more and 70 iraugurate a system of operation based upon correct business princi- pies. which has heretofore been the only thing lacking to insure success. l. may take more time than was at first anticipated for the new manage ment 10 mature its plans and get them fairly into operation, but that it means business. pure and simple. The Miner is reasonably certain. Some of the parties are now in the district. look ing 10 a settlement of the company's affairs, with every prospect of reach ing an adjustment that will be satis- factory 10 all concerned and result in the plans laid out for renewal of mining operations and resumption of work at the shelter being carried into effect with very little delay. It should ba remembered that this company. though some hat involved. is far from aIay near approach to bankruptcy, and aside from it's own mines and shelter, has 2 valuable asset in the leased Rush and Brown mine which is in 6 condition 10 yield all the ore the shelter can handle until such time as is own mines msy De sufficiently de geloped 10 take it's place or compel an enlargement Of the shelter capacity.
 The Miner has good reason to be- Iege that an effort Is being made 10 effect an arrangement under the terms ot which operations may be resumed 2: the Hadley mine and smelter in the yery near future. This arrangement i> likely to be consummated within the next few weeks, if at all.
 The federal court al Seattle granted an order last week, authorizing the receiver 10 sell the coal and copper matte belonging 10 the Hadley shelter, and devote the proceeds to the pay ment of the labor debt for the month Of September. The matte was ship ped to inc Tacoma refinery last We'd nsSdsy. and the coal, about ]. l.J0O tons, IS offered al price. on board at Had ley. which ought to insure it's sale at an early day.

OBITUARY.

George Jordan, ST., died Sunday
saged eighty-six years. Until within a
year, he was active, attending 10 his af-
11Ars, and was remarkable man for his
years. His was busy and useful life.
Prominent in business and town affairs,
he held place here on earth that never
can be quite filled. Being of a generous
and social disposition, his home was a
home for everyone who came there.
He leaves an aged wife whose heart is
broken for the loss of one who has been
the tenderest and best OF husbands.
Such q life together of love and peace
was exceptional. He leaves two sons out
West-Almon and Sydney, whose letters
home made the old couple rejoice that
their children still remem bered them, and
two sons here Benjamin. OF Trenton, and
George, jr.. OF Ellsworth Falls, both of
whom have been untiring in the care and
comfort of their parents. They have
kept them together at the dear old home
which was their fathers wish, and pro-
vided them with every comfort. Father
and mother have been first with these mo-
BILE sons, and their homecoming, which
was often, was the greatest Of all joys for
the aged couple.
OF Mr.. Jo-dan's own family there are
two brothers and one sister left Isaiah, of
sotis, who is in very feeble health; Lewis,
.Df Hancock, Mary Jellison, who moved
West years ago; also several grandchildren
who can never forget the best Of grand
fathers. The funeral was held at the home
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. j. D. Prigmore,
OF Ellsworth Falls, officiating.
