assurance that all is we'll and by ex-

fore the time appointed for dinner may
put on a well cooked and daintily serv-
ed meal
To do this successfully not more than
four guests should be present. Six
persons at the table are quite enough
to manage. A few enjoy themselves
more and conversation is general.
To select menu which can be cook

kind that can be prepared beforehand.

a simple one.

YeIlow Pine Merger.

Discussing the proposed merger of
the yellow pine interests of the coun-
try the Birmingham Age-Herald says:
The owners of 100000 acres of
lands covered with yellow pine trees
recently met in st. Louis, where steps
were taken to organize a huge COM
pany to take over the timbered acre
age, railroads and mill properties of
those represented at the conference.
Committees were appointed to perfect
the merger and to work out all details,
and experts were selected to value
each merged property. The stumpage
is to be paid for at the rate of So per
1000 feet, one-half of that amount in
stock of the company and the other
half in bonds. Money is to be raised
to pay off the Indebtedness of each of
the merged concerns, the amount thus
paid to be deducted from the bonds to
be issued to each. 1t is said the big
concern it to be capitalized at $780,
100000, and the Indebtedness; that is
the properties are to be pretty dearly
capatilized-6,O 100000 acres and $780,
100000 of capitalization being at the
rate of about $50 an acre.
"The hand of the federal govern
