To Can Asparagus.

The successful canning of vegetables
depends largely upon their freshness If
you are forced to depend upon the mar
kets try to get them when first received.
If you can secure vegetables fresh from
your own garden or the country, SC
much the better. Before beginning can
ming be sure that your cans are abso-
lutely clean; that the tops fit perfectly
and that the can rubbers are new. More
canned fruit and vegetables are lost
through a mistaken idea of economy in
trying to use old rubbers than in any
other way. Now. having fresh veseta-

better for this purpose.
Having filled the jars full. hold under
the cold water faucet and let the water
covered and no air bubbles show. If
there are doubts about the water being
pure you had better boil it. then cool
before using. In this case pour into the
jars from a pitcher filing full. Now
adjust the tops without the rubbers and
stand in a wash boiler or large kettle
protecting them from the bottom by a
rack and from each other by coil of
clothesline hay. Now fill the boiler
or kettle with cold water and set over
the fire. The water should reach about
half way up the cans. Bring quickly to
the boiling point. cover the boiler and
cook steadily an hour and a half from
the time the water in the boiler COM
menceS to boil. Then Scald the can rub
bers. lift out the cans one by one. put
on the rubbers and quickly screw down
the lid and stand back in the boiler. Cook

day when put into cold water. then

String beans may be canned in the
same way as asparagus, either cutting
them in pieces as for the table, or string

Ice During the Summer.

The mana gers of the American Ice Com

first cargoes of ice of the summer season
to reach this city in the latter part of this
month or early in the next, when the

heavy. Orders were placed with agents of
the ice company in the north to charter
two vessels at once to load at Maine ports

These vessels are four-masted schooners
that will carry about 1900 tons each. and
before they are loaded and started on
their way here other vessels will also be
chartered to load for Washington. 1t is
stated that the schooner W. II. Clifford

CAME FROM AFRICA
Native of Jungles Likes This
Country Better Than
His Own.
IS EMPLOYED AT DECATUR

Decatur, Ind, Aug. 2S.-Michael
Page is the name of the new porter
who is now employed at the Murra y
hotel. That is not his real name but
he just took that handle simply be-
cause he liked it. He is a colored man
but no ordinary one and has history.
He is intelligent and interesting to
talk to.
He is native of the jungles of At
rica his home being originally forty
seven miles south of Bloemfontein.
When twelve years old he was picked
up by representatives of the John
Robinson circus who were in the coun-
try gathering up wild beasts for his
big menagerie. He was brought to
this country and lived for a number Of
the circus.
He learned the American customs
and language and no longer cares for
the wilds of his native country. He
remembers the lingo of his tribe and
speaks it well. He says his tribe wore
only breech clout and he tells many
interesting stories of his life in the
dark lands. He has helped to hunt the
lion and has seen all the wild beasts
of his native land. Once since he has
become man he has taken a trip
back to his native land, but he did
not care to remain and soon returned
to this country.
He is different from the ordinary
colored man you may meet and he has
no particular love for Dixie land nor
does he speak with the southern ac-
cent. He is a clever porter and can
easily prove to any one that he is a
native of Africa. He is married and
his wife, an American woman, is here
with him. He says he has never met
person who can talk his language
during the eighteen years he has spent
in this country.

Saitma<ino In Spain.

The Spanish method Of producing
salt, as employed near Cadiz. is by
allowing the sun to evaporate the wa
ter from what are known as pans
small ponds prepared for the purpose
Of a uniform depth Of about eighteen
inches. These are flooded directly
from the sea three or four times n
year. and in time there is left a de-
post Of about three inches Of salt.
which is piled in the open in the form
Of small pyramids until sold. This
method has the advantage Of being
inexpensive and Of not requiring ma
chinery. The only requisites are a
hot sun and a soil which will not per-
NIT the water to filter through, as the
salt in solution would then be lost.
Something depends also upon the an.
alysis Of the water. For instance, the
water Of the Mediterranean has a
greater specific gravity than that Of
the Atlantic.

considers that the speaker has made
good those assurances or not. Mr.
Cannon's friends claim that he has.
They declare that the speaker did all
in his power to forward the revision OF
the tariff demanded by the president.
They point out that the speaker fell in
with the presidents plan to put for
ward the corporation tax as against
the house plan of inheritance tax al
though majority of the republican
leaders were opposed to the substitu-
ed the power of the committee on rules
to facilitate the progress of the bill in
it's successive stages.
AS against this the charge is made
that the speaker packed the confer
cnce committee by the substitution of
Messrs Fordney and Calderhead for
men in line, this with the alleged pur-
pose of Strengthening the high pro-
tectionists on the conference commit
tee. Further, that the speaker in the
interest of his friend ex-Representa-
tive Littauer, opposed the presidents
demands for lower duties on gloves
and had to be ridden down by the ex-
ecutive.
Those are charges that have been
specifically and repeatedly made. To
the allegation that he packed the con-
ference committee Speaker Cannon in
an interview yesterday replied that 1T
was beneath his dignity to take notice
of it.
President Taft has not indicated his
opinion of these charges. and no one
thus far has been authorized to speak
for him, but it has been a persistent
subject Of gossip that he felt resent
ment toward the speaker upon these
alleged grounds.
1t is certain however, that the oppo-
nents of Mr. Cannon are busily circu-
lating these indictments and as zeal
ously claiming that they constitute
basis for expecting the aid of Presi-
dent Taft in the fight against Speaker
Cannon's reelection. It is not known
whether President Taft is aware Of
all of this or not, but there is no mis-
taking the fact that the anti-Cannon
people are trading upon 1T extensively
They believe that for the present they
need nothing more than the presidents
silence to get away with it,
