SELECTED IMMIGRANTS.

It would be worth while for other states than Minnesota to gather to themselves selected immigrants from the older countries. The New York World called attention the other day to one hundred Dutch immi grants who arrived on one ship and bound for Minnesota, where other Dutch set tiers had preceded them. These peo- pie refused to come without their parish priests, so three Dutch clergy men. all speaking English. made the trip and will settle with their flocks. Francis H. Murray of St. Paul, busf- ness representative of the bishop, and D. $. B Johnson, head of a St. Paul land company, which has contract with Bishop McGolrick to pull stumps and build homes, churches and school houses, came to New York to meet the colonists.
 Every head of family has from $500 to several thousand dollars. One man brought 4.000 florins in gold. Any of the immigrants may have a $500 loan, if he needs it. Every family starts on land in counties near the center of the state.
 They buy forty acres, eighty acres or a quarter section, as their resources will permit They will take up diver sified farming. but most of them have been advised by the bishop to continue their old calling of dairymen.
 These are all desirable settlers and they have large families. one bringing eleven children. and there is no doubt they will add to the wealth of Minne- sota, for they are all thrifty and in- duStrfOus people

NOT AN ANTIQUE YET.

There is no good reason why New England should be regarded as a, re- zion with a.great past and not a very promising future, but it is in the south and some parts of the west; and, per- haps. the talk about abandoned farms is accountable for the impression. Undue prominence has been given to the abandonment of the land and the cheapness of rural estates. some of the most inaccessible of which may be bought today for less than half what the buildings upon them cost
 New Engfand's abandonment of ag- cicufture-its neglect Of intense farm sng-has contributed to it's il1-faune and is today the cause of the high cost of living fin this part of the coun- try That it's summer attractions are great is shown by the $6G,000,0 900 ex- pended here by visitors during the summer months. and Its stability and sustaining power is evidenced by the fact that 1t absorbed 61. 900 immigrants last year. That tile quality of the soil ss all right is proven by the fact that here the best-f1aEored apples can be grown, and there is nothing the mat ter with it's farm products, except that the average yield is lower than it real ly ought to be, because, doubtless, man has in his ardor to work the soil, taken out more lAaH He put pdck. ASrlcu- +urs is a game of give and take and to be complete success there can be no nigging on the part of the tiller of the soils
 The Newburyport News feels sure that New England needs a revival of faith in it's own productiveness-it is needed in the country, and doub1y needed in the cities. We do not realize until we are told. that 3.0O0.0 people live within a circuit of 90 miles of Boston. representing one-tlrirtieth of the population, and the second larg- est assemblage of people in the same area of territory in the country.

would be impossible for them to live sential reason. The American cook boiIs all the flavor as well as the vi tality out of the vegetables and throws it away. The Occidental cook declares this operation is necessary, as the flavor of the vegetable is too strong and pronounced if the water is not drained away from it. Be that as it may. the result is that the food has lost much of its nutriment and is use less to build up or sustain the body Moreover, the boiling process renders the dish more or less insipid in flavor.
 The East Indian cook works on an of India is taught that the food must be cooked in its own steam, or with just enough water to generate steam to cook it, and every drop of moisture must be evaporated before the food is served, unless it is to be eaten with a gravy or "shorba," in which case a small quantity of liquid is allowed to remain on it. But, as usual thing, not @ drop of water is drained away. This would be looked upon as positively sacrilegious and wasteful by the East Indians. The American throws away as useless, Indian family from starvation This fact was demonstrated when, during siege, the Indian soldiers requested that the water in which the rice was cooked alone should be issued to them, while the rice itself might be served to the English soldiers. This was done and the native sepoys apparently were as well fed as their white brothers.- Saint Nihal Singh, in April Nautilus.

The Makjno of Laws.

If the solons who are responsible for the absurd bonfire" act could hear the opinions expressed regarding it and them. they wouldn't feel at all flattered. At any rate. it calls at tentien to the fact that law making often runs to weeds. There is alto gether too much legislation. If men could be made moral and righteous by legislative act this country would be a model for all nations. Per contra if all the laws on the statute books were enforced there would be few of us out of jail. The accumulation of statutes is simply amazing. Congress is busy most of the time adding to the already overwhelming flood. Then the legis- latures of the forty-six states add their generous contributions every few months. These great bodies are ably assisted by every municipality in the land with a long, long list of local statutes. It is stock notion that Ignorance of the law excuses no man." but there is not person any where in Uncle Sam's realms who is familiar with all the laws or even a small proportion of them. Such acquaintance Is impossible
 But the industry goes merrffy on and the statute books grow fat. To what purpose ?-Bristol Press.

The Burden of War.

Ex-Vice President Fairbanks is an observing traveller In his trip around the world he has been favorably i'm pressed by the preparations for war by various nations.
 Wherever I have been." says MT. Fairbanks. 'I have seen ships building and troops drilling for war, yet have seen no cause for war. The effects of this madness are visible in the squalor and distress of mankind.

THE BulLETIn's DAILY STORY
BEING CONTRADICTORY

Tt is so Ioo1ish,'' said the girl who likes to talk, flor people to tell us continually in an amazed way that
 women are contradictory creatures! It's just as senseiess as harping on the fact that the sun rises and sets and exclaiming over the fact that rain falls down instead of upi
 Nobody knows better than we do Siotiens sometimes na e Eo and an eerb sit by myself and waste valuable time in marvelling over the intricate contra dictions of me!
 man who was a most conslderate creature He said in the course of a conversation that fle always hated to hurt a girls feelings. for he knew women were terribly sensitive and that most men never realized it. He did not believe in riding roughshod over their little fancies and wishes, they should be treated tenderly, gent ly. He looked perfectly benign when he talked that way and he meaut it, too. He wasn't namby- -paInby, either.
 When ever a question arose he would let you have your own way be- cause he said he wanted to please you. If you didn't want him to do thing, he simply wouldn't do it. and if you wanted the sun to shine in at the north windows instead of in at the west windows he'd move the sun-or try to.
 Naturally one would think girl would be crazy about such a man. Was !? Why, I regarded that perfect " lovely, considerate man with the most 1angudd indifference I couldn't get up any interest in him whatever. used to marshal all his sterling vir- tues in a row and repeat them and add them up on my fingers and it didn't make the least particle of difference to me-not a heart-throb was forth coming.

AIDING THE PEOPLE.

The Bridgeport Standard calls the attention of It's readers to the fact that the department of agriculture has issued cook book showing how the cheaper cuts Of meat may be pre- pared and made acceptable to the householder of limited means who. however, has accustomed himself to tofore- ~dore power to the agricuI- tura1 departments cook books" ex- claims The Standard. Send them along and circulate them broadly"
 This looks ali right on its face, but since soup meats in the past two years have advanced from six cents pound to twelve cents, and the dearer pieces Of meat have only advanced from seventeen to twenty eight cents per pound. or from twenty two to thirty i've cents, it is an open question where the cheap cuts of meat are to be found With an advance of 100 per cent up- on the poorest cuts and the promise of their going still higher, where do the cheap cuts come in? The cook book may be a great help to the peo- pie in the way of teaching closer economy in the use of meats; but the caters of cheap meats are really the people who are being hardest pressed.

ONE RECOGNIZED DRAIN.

Professor JenkS of Cornell uniyer- sity makes a real contribution to the cost of living controversy, and brings to the front one factor that bears down heavily on the wage earner, es- pecially. He says that the cost of medical attendance in the United States is 1,000,oo0,00e a year and he takes no account of minor cases. and the vast sums spent for drugs and medicines. Professor Jenks has un- occasionally pointed out a serious leak in the average mans expense ac- count but he carefully refrains from telling how it may be successfully stopped.-Bristol Press.
 It Is not an easy matter to solve such an ordinary problem as this. It is not probable that the doctors are their dues at that. We have noticed that the people who take the best care of themselves need the doctor least; he is paid or not feel free to make the greatest demand upon his time. Some folks think that if they Deweyize Muldoonize and F1etcherize the doc tor cannot catch them, if the devil may. Others look wonderinsly at them and question their mentality. But, then, the way to keep clear of the medical expenses of life is to keep well; and to do this they must live simply and naturally. To under-ex- ercise and over-feed, or to over-ex- ercise and under-feed are. either one, the straight way to physical impair ment and large expense and there is no help for it.

Foundations of Hope.

Easter comes at a season when ex- istence to most teT1peraments seems richest, when the earth is breaking in- to new life, and when the idea of inn mortality is emphasized not only by nature but by centuries of association spirit of Easter, however, like the spir- it of hope and worth in general does not mean that the outlook is plain and easy. As Browning says in Easter Day."
 Flow very hard it is to be
 A Christian. Hard for you and me Not the mere task of making real That duty up to it's ideal,
 Efecting this, complete and whole. A purpose for the human soul For that is always hard to do;
 But hard, mean, for me and you To realize it, more or less,
 With even the moderate success Which commonly repays our strife To carry out the aims of life
 And the sole thing that I remark Upon the difficulty, this;
 We do not see it where it is,
 At the beginning of the race;
 As we proceed. it shifts its place, And where we looked for crowns to
 fall,
 We find the tugs to come-thats
 all"
