WANT NEW COURT HOUSE.
Attorneys Would Sell Old One to City
 for Offices,

Judge George II, Cowel and Attor- neys John O Neill, A, P. Hayes and samuel J. Marsh, constituting the lawyers committee on building an ad- hilton to the court house held meet ing this forenoon in Judge Cowell's s oiilce to find out where they are at, The latest idea is to sell the present court house to the city, get another appropriation of $l00,000, which with that allowed by the legislature two years ago would make a total of Sl0O,OOO, and build in the rear of the present building or in that vi- cinity. The committee does not fla Vor the suggestion to throw down the $lO,OO0 porch fronting on Leaven- worth street, build onto to that end and replace the porch. This, the com mittee thinks would bring the front of the building too near the noise and dirt of the street, two things which are highly undesirable in a court house It is said that it would be better to buy the lot in the rear and build on there. That plan is believed to be more economical and practical anu btlttl III every ltSptNl lloh ahH idea yet suggested. Mir O'Neill. how ever. believes the best and easiest plan would be to sell the present building to the city. The building cost about SS0.000, and the city, as the successor of the town, owns one half of it already. The county owns the other half His idea is for the city to convert the entire building to the use of the town clerk and the probate court as these offices are very closely related to each other in the nature of their business.
 Whatever plan is finally decided upon, it is certain that the commit tee will apply to the coming legis- lature for an appropriation of s100,- 900 for this sum with the S50,O00 al ready allowed. something could be done. but not with cent less.

Germany'S Mask Industry.

There is an extensive demand for
masks throughout Germany for the
carnival season and other merry
making occasions. In Central Ger
many there are several large estab-
lishments devoted exclusively to
manufacturing this article. They
not only meet the needs of Germany's
trade, but also supply a very large
demand from foreign countries. The
materials used in Matchmaking are
chiefly ~pasteboard and gauze, with
small amounts of silk and wire. Each
establishment employees it's own
artists, and there is a constant eff
fort to place novelties on the mar
ket. 1t is largely due to the great
variety of these novel designs that
a promising trade with the United
States has grown up during recent
years, which is reported to be stead
lily increasing.

Omelet For Hard Times.

When eggs are very high the ONE
let Is a forbidden luxury in many
households. An omelet made in this
manner, however, will meet all the
demands Of economy, and will, at the
same time, be as light and fluffy as
though prepared in the ordinary and
more costly way. Put a cupful of
finely crumbled bread into a bowl,
and pour over it two-thirds of a cup
full of sweet milk. When the bread
has become thoroughly moistened,
stir it with a spoon until it is entire
ly smooth and free from Jumps. Add
the yolks of two eggs, beating them
into the bread and milk n at a
time then fold in the stifly-whipped
whites and pour into a well-buttered
baking dish. Bake in a moderate
oven until we'll set. A pleasing vari-
alton is to sprinkle the top of the
Dmelet with grated cheese and paprika
before removing it from the oven. If.
a sweet omelet is desired, a generous
sprinkling Of maple sugar will prove
pleasing.

Frances Opium Peril.

Just now France is having trouble
in both branches of her service. The
army has been declared incompetent
and inefficient in many particulars
by some of the men highest in that
branch of the service.
Opium, valued at several thousand
dollars, has now been found in the
stores of several Oriental curio
dealers in Marseilles. A search was
made upon the complaint of the wives
of naval officers who declared that
their husbands were obtaining and
using the drug. Investigation shows
that the habit has increased to an
alarming extent in the navy, and
there are not wanting those who con-
meet his disclosure with the many
accidents that have occurred to the
French navy in the past eighteen
months.
The French peasant is the most
frugal and the most productive force
in European economic life, but how
long he will stand the burden Of mill
tary and naval expenditure when it
seems to result in so little real good
to the country il a question. The
most disheartening thing to France
is that the naval authorities have
been endeavoring for some time to
stamp out the opium evil. but to
have been unable to accomplish much
along this line.

CONDITIONS ON MARS.
From "The Call Of Another World" by Charles
Torquet. In the Metropolitan Magazine.

The days in Mars are of about the
same length as ours: twenty-four
hours, thirty-nine minutes, twenty
three seconds. Mars makes her orbit
around the sun in a little more than
CSC days, therefore the seasons are
almost twice as long as they are with
US. The atmosphere Of Mars is rich
in watery vapors. Oceans can be
seen, and at the poles thick ice, which
melts when summer comes. The
variations in temperature are ex-
IRENE. Mars receives only half as
much solar heat as u globe does.
The sun appears half as large, and
the nights receive their light from
two moons, which are smaller than
ours-Deimos and Phobos.
The weight is such that one of our
Kilograms would only weigh three
hundred and seventy-six grams there.
A man is only able to carry his OWL
weight on his back. Transported to
Mars, he could carry three times as
much, something like two hundred
and twenty-five kilos. In taking OBJ
servations Of Mars through. the tele-
scope, one can e a distinct red
disk, marked with more or less brill
liant spots. Some of the spots which
are greenish are. the oceans, other
very red ones are the continents,
greater in extent than the oceans,
which is the opposite to the way the
earth is disposed. The most bril-
liant spots are the ice-covered re-
gions of the poles, and the clouds
are almost equally bright. The at
mosphere of Mars is more t%ranspar-
ent than ours, and its sky is incom-
parably clear.
The waters of Mars r more di-
vided and distributed in inland seas
Joined by long arms, which are some
times incurving, but oftenest almost
rectilinear, and which mark the bril-
liant surface of the planet with dark
lines, just as the line Of lead divides
the panes Of glass in our church win
dows. All these dark lines form a
pattern which is relatively symmetri-
cal, and which does not seem to have
been made by chance. A plan so
regular must have been designed, and
for a long time the observers of Mars
have been disposed to consider these
lines as canals dug by the inhabitants
Of the planet for the needs OF their
civilization. ,'.np'
