THE BOTTLED EGG.
A Seeming Mystery That 10 None at

All.
To try this entertaining experiment
you need a hard boiled egg and a bot
tie or flask with wide body and q
neck large enough to let the egg sit
tightly and snugly on its mouth, end
down.
Peel the egg and lay 1t inside. Then
roll up some paper into a shape so that
1t will burn readily. Light 1t and throw
II into the bottle. AS soon as 1t has
burned itself out, place the egg firmly
on the mouth of the flask, pressing 1t
on just hard enough so that 1t will
close the opening entirely.
Before many moments the egg viii
begin IT, stretch itself. 1t will seem
to crawl into the bottle. More and
more Of 1t descends, till suddenly, with
a pop! the whole egg lengthens itself
out and slides into the bottle.
What has happened? Everybody will
ask that. The explanation Is simple
enough.
When you threw the lighted paper
into the bottle, the heat expanded the
air, therefore, by the time the flame
was extinguished. the air In the bottle
was warm and thin, and a good part
Of 1t had been crowded out to make
/ room for the expansion.
| After the egg had been set on the
bottle the air In II began to cool again.
| room In the bottle--vacuum, 1t is called
/ in scientific language. Consequently
! the air pressure outside OF the bottle
was greater than that Of the air in
side, and the poor old egg, being be-
! tween the two, had to yield to the
stronger. That Is why 1t slid into the
! bottle. 1t had to.

The Beginning of a New Era.

Chicago Tribune: The democratic
party proved under Bryan that 1t could
not get It's conservatives to follow a
radical leader to victory The demo-
cratic party has proved under Parker
that 1t cannot get its radicals to fol-
low a conservative leader to victory.
What Is the use Of the democratic
party?
The word democratic may survive the
event of yesterday, but as far as human
eyes can see there will never be anoth-
er attempt to combine under the word
democratic the two irreconcilable ele-
ments of which the democratic party
has been for at least ten years c,in-
posed
The political warfare of the future in
the United States will be between con-
servatives banded together and radicals
banded together. The two kinds of
minds will not much longer be found in
the same party. The wreck of the demo-
cratic party as at present constituted
was necessary to this development.
That wreck Is complete.

said Grandmother regretfully, az she
and Billee and Baby stood watching the
great turkey spread his wings and strut
around the little poultry yard.
The gobbler perked his head on one
side and looked at her out OF his bead
like eyes. Then he pulled himself out
grandly.
"Gobble. gobble. gobble." he uttered
hoarsely.

he said, for our turkeys all died In
the spring and Mary won't be able to

So when Grandmother got the note.
she baked twelve pumpkin pies and a
great pot of beans and when she

Table Decoration.

For dinner table decorations as far
as coloring is concerned 1t is best To
keep to the warmer tints. Avoid tie
use OF white by itself and keep 70
shades Of crimson, old gold or even
bronze tones. the latter especially
where there is q large display OF old
silver. The vases may be filled with
well berried holly points and mistletoe.
with roses as q sort Of underground
to the various stands. Frosted branches
and sprays are always fashionable at
this season and have a very charming
effect. Their beauty may be much en-
HANGED by judicious use Of bright
ribbon bows. Lamps and candles must
all have their shades to match the
principal coloring used In the decora-
ton. Tall tubes look very well on q
large table, especially where space is
a consideration, 1. e., where the table
Is otherwise well laden with dessert or
with silver bowls OF bon-bons.

Turkey With Sausages.

A turkey garnished with sausage
has q very festive not tn say baochana-
liam appearance. Three quarters OF an
hour before the cooking is finished fes-
toon 1t with strings of link sausage.
These you must turn from time to time
so that every part shall be as brown
as the bird itself. The better the flavor
of the sausage Of course the finer ne
flavor of the turkey. With this you will
want giblet sauce made by stewing and
mincing the giblets and adding them
to the gravy In the pan after the fat
has been removed.

HUNT FOR PLATE.
Frenoh Expedition Placed on Butte in
Vicinity Of Dickinson.

Dickinson-One of the most inter-
esting tales told about the western part
of North Dakota and which has been
q subject of debate for some time, is
the location of the buttes mentioned In
the early history of the country, when
a representative Of French exploring
party placed lead plate upon high
hill in the vicinity of Dickinson, which
set up claim to the territory in the
name of the king of France.
The state historical and the national
government have been working over
old histories and diaries to ascertain
the exact location of this plate, as it
will establish some claims in old treat
les affecting the Indians and the French
nation. This tablet was placed upon
the hill some time in the year 1740 and
buried beneath some stone, to prevent
the Indians from destroying or carry
ing 1t away.
The finder Of this tablet, or II it has
already been discovered, is in the way
, Of having his fortune made, as large
wards have been offered for it.

eLANDERED HORSES.
Many That Were Killed at Portal Will
30 Disallowed by State.

Bismarck-Thorough investigation of
the claims that have been filed with
the state auditor for slandered horses
killed at Portal through which so many
horses have been shipped to Canadian
points within the last few years, is
to be made by the state auditing
board before such claims are allowed.
Such Investigations will result in great
many of the $50 claims on file being
disallowed for the reason that such
claims do not come within the spirit Of
glandered horse indemnity law.
Horses that have been examined at
Portal were done away with as a re-
suit Of examinations that were re-
quired before the horses could be ship
ped into Canada. The major portion
of the emigrants preferred having
these Inspections made In North Dakota
and in the event that the horses were
glandered, they thus could present a
claim to the state.
Inspection of the horses is made
necessary by tho Canadian immigra-
tion laws so that the moment the
horses reached Canadian soil, they
would be subjected to inspections.
Such horses as are found by the
Canadian authorities to be infected
with glanders are killed and the own
ers have no redress.
Emigrants to Canada losing their
horses at Portal by reason Of being
infected with glanders are looked upon
by the state auditing board as be-
ing residents Of Canada rather than
of this state. In fact, in many in
stances it is even claimed that the
horses killed came from points out Of
the state. When the emisrant reaches
Portal on his way to Canada as 8
rule he has already filed on Cana
dian homestead and therefore is q

ANOTHER LANDMARK
IS BEING REMOVED

Another one of the historic build
ings Of Pendleton is falling a prey to
the hands of workmen. The old
Episcopal church building, one of the
first houses OF worship to be built in
Pendleton, has been condemned as 1t
has outlived its usefulness and yes
terday the work OF razing it to the
ground vas begun. In a few days
there will be nothing but a bare spot
OF earth between the present church
and rectory to tell the passerby that
another land mark has been removed.
The corner stone of the church was
laid in 1875 by Bishop B. Wistar Nor
rs and the first service was conduct
ed on May l OF the following year.
The edifice was not done at this time,
however, and Il was not until 1878
that the church was dedicated. The
first rector of the new church was l.
II. Wells who is now bishop OF the
Spokane diocese. The building con-
tinued to be used as a place of wor-
ship until 1894 when the present
handsome structure was completed.
Since that time 1t has been used as
a parish house.
