stories Of their luscious consistency
and flavor. They ray one can take a
teaspoon into a pineapple field and eat
the delicious pulp from the rInd as
we do oranges; and until we lave SO
enjoyed them We do not know the pos
siblllties of pineapples. Pinaapples
according oconnoisseurs, should not
be sliced for immediate eating. Meth.
er should they be peeled.
Having selected a ripe pineapple "a
green one IS rank polson), cut of the
stem and throw away and twist out
the crown. Into the shallow pit from
which the crown has been twisted
drive two strong skewers down
through the center core until they Just
come through the bottom. Now pull
the skewers apart, splitting the pine
.asunder from stem TO crown.
These halves are then quartered and
again divided, giving eight slices in
all without losing drop Of the juice.
The slices can now be eaten from the
hand, using the rind and eye as prop
er and convenience handles for con-
ceying the pulp from fruit to the lips.
After trying this way few would vol
unfairly go back to the old method of
slicing.
Rhubarb and Orange Jam.
Wash three pounds young rhubarb
and cut in pieces about two and one
half inches in length. Put three
pounds oranges in the preserving ket-
tie with cold water to cover and sim
mer three hours. Drain the oranges
and cut each in four pieces. Put six
pounds crushed loaf OF graduated sug.
ar in the preserving kettle with just
enough water to prevent sticking, and
stir with wooden paddle until 1t
reaches the boiling point. Put in the
oranges and the rhubarb, stir until
boiling, move to the edge OF the fire
and simmer is minutes.
Turn into jars but leave until cold
before covering with disks OF paper
dipped in brandy. This Is the old Eng.
fish recipe and an excellent one.

BABY BURNED TO DEATH
SAD ACCIDENT OCCURS IN A
DEERFIELD HOME.
Spark Ia mites Celiuioid Tru n, pct, Sets
Il Attire, lofant's Dress In Flames
and Child Dead.

Owatonna, Jan. S-A most sad acct
dent occurred at the home of Fred
Bredlow in Deerfield Wednesday of this
week when Mr.. and Mrs, Bredlow's ba-
by boy. but little over year old,
was burned to death. The baby was
playing about on the floor in sitting
room in which there was a stove, the
door of which stood open to check it..
Mrs. Bredlow stepped out of the room
for few moments and on her return
was Mortified to see the baby's clothes
all afire. The flames had done their
deadly work before they could be eX
tinguished and the little fellow ex
pired only few moment after the ar
rival of doctor, summoned post haste
from Owatonna.
1t is believed that the cause of the
accident was little celluloid trumpet,
such as was sold during the holidays in
various stores, and which was among
the toys given the baby for Christ
mas. As is well known celluloid is
very inflammable, as much so as pow
der, and it is believed that the baby
in some way got the trumpet against
or in the stove sufficiently to ignite
it. Once a spark touched the celluloid
it would burn i'm a flash. This is the
only possible theory, inasmuch as the
trumpet cannot be found.

HAS BEGUN THE SURVEY
RALPH AND CORPS o. ENCl.
NEERS ARE BUSY.
They Are Figuring On How the Min =
nesota River Gan Be Straighten-
ed Out, Big Job.

Ortonville, Mimi, Jan. 9.-George A.
Ralph and a corps OF other engineers
in the employ of the Minnesota state
drainage commission, have commenced
to survey the headwaters of the Min
nesota river in the vicinity of Big
Stone lake and will continue from
here on down the river to its junction
with the Mississippi river near Min
neapolis.
The object of the survey is to pro-
vide drainage for the low lands of
the Minnesota valley, which will neces-
state the deepening of the Minnesota
river and holding the flood waters of
its main feeders, the principal of which
is the MILESTONE creek, which rises in
the Dakota hills in South Dakota and
with its branches drains the eastern
slope into the Minnesota river short
distance south of Big Stone lake.
The plan contemplates draining the
Wheatstone river into Big Stone lake
above the proposed dixie, which can
pe uoHe at comparatively sinai CA
pense, and probably two other reser-
viors between Big Stone lake and the
Mississippi river, in order to hold the
flood waters of other streams coming
in.
The project, if completed will redeem
thousands of acres of land and save
hundreds of Thousands of dollars of
damage caused by floods all along the
Minnesota river and will make it a
navigable stream from the Mississippi
to Big Stone lake.
