GROWING OF SEASONINGS.
Green Herbs Should Be Gathered Be-

fore Day Becomes Very Warm.
Green herbs if freshly and properly
gathered are richest in favoring sub
stances and when added to sauces,
fricassees, stews, ETC., reveal their
freshness by their particles as well as
by their decidedly finer flavor In sal
ads they almost entirely supp3ant both
the dried and the decocted herbs since
their fresh cOlOrs are pleasing to the
eye and their crispness to the palate,
whereas the specks Of the dried herbs
would be Objectionable, and both these
and the decoctions impart a somewhat
inferior flavor to such dishes.
No matter in what condition or for
what purpose they are to be used the
flavors of foliage herbs are invariably
best in well developed leaves and
shoots still in full vigor of growth.
With respect to the plant as a whole
these favOrs are most abundant and
pleasant just before the flowers ap-
pear. Since they are generally due to
essential oils which are quickly dissi-
pated by heat they are more abundant
in the morning than after the sun has
reached the zenith.
As a general rule, therefore, best re-
suits with foliage herbs. especially
those TO be used for drying and infus-
ing, may be secured when the plants
seem ready to flower, the harvest be-
ing made as soon as the dew has dried
and before the day has become very
warm. The leaves of parsley, how
ever, may be gathered as soon as they
attain that deep green characteristic
Of the mature leaf. Since the leaves
are produced continuously for many
weeks the mature ones may be re-
moved every week or so, a process
which encourages the further produc-
ton of foliage and postpones the ap-
pearance of the Towering stem.-Amer-
lean Agriculturist.

New Bid Of ScaIIops. ssa

The demand for sea food is a
persistent and increasing one, so
much so that i'd some lines the
supply is threatening with ex-
tinction. This is particularly
true of the lobster, which is ev-
cry year becoming scarcer and
consequently dearer, and even
the succulent clam is not found
in its former abundance in those
haunts to which it once gave
fame. But the scallop is a good
substitute, and the report just
made to the secretary of COM
merce that a bed of the giant va
riety, thirty miles wide and eX-
tending from Rhode Island to the
Virgitia capes, has been found,
is very reassuring. The common
kind are plenty enough, but they
are only half as large as the gi
ant variety, and not accounted
helf so great a delicacy- This
new source of supply is regarded
as practically inexhaustible, and
it is not likely to have an i'm
mediately lowering effect upon
the price of a hotel order.

not many months are passed without

4 COLONY OF GERMANS
 TO LOCATE ON SKEENA

Hans von IIohenfist has been in town the past week on pleasure and business combined. He is one of the most travelled men who has yet visited New Hazelton. He is ac- companied by three other prominent Austrians and they are considering a deal for 10000 acres of land on the north side of the Skeena river. This land is owned by Captain Me Phatter and Harold Price. The party of capitalists have visited the property and made a number of test of the soil and found it quite suit able for their purposes, and the deal will go through if the price is made right.
 It is the intention of the party to establish a German colony on the O,OOO acres early next sprign, arriV ing here about the first of April. The newcomers will be started in clearing immediately upon their ar rival.
 The move is a most important onI to this whole district, and it will do much to bring the agricultural resources to the front.
 Hans von Hohenfist has for years been interested in one of the big lead mines in Austria, aand he is naturally interested in the silver lead properties in this district, and he visited one or two.
 Speaking of the district as a whole, MT. HOhenfist was very fa- vorably impressed. It resembles very much the Austrian Alps. The seen cry was one of the greatest attrae- tions to him, and he had trip to the peak of Rocher de Boule planne Herald.

WILL CROSS THE ANDES
 IN AN AUTOMOBILE

Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Nov. 5 A change is contemplated in Col. Roosevelts program whereby he may cross the Andes by automobile instead of by train the latter part of next month. While the. Transan- dean railway affords a novel journey 1t is believed that the trip by motor car would prove still more interest ing to the distinguished American visitor, and 1t is understood that he has already favored the automobile trip over the mountains. It is prob able he will go from Buenos Ayres Co Mendoza by rail, bringing him to the foothills of the Andean range, and from there go by automobile to Santiago de Chile and Valparaiso, in which cities he has planned to make a stop of five days.
 The trip across the Andes probab- ly will be made through the Uspal- iapsa pass. In places the road is fine and broad, but in others mar row and runs at a height of 12,S7O feet above sea level. The pass is just to the 6outh of Mount Aeon agua, which is 23,393 fleet high. Severe storms are common over this route and as refuges for travellers number of small stone houses have been .scattered along the course. In returning to Buenos Ayres, Col. Roosevelt may use the Transandean tunnel which was completed lin 1909.
 Roosevelt left Sac Paulo last night for Rio Grande de Sul, from which place he will continue his journey by way of Montevideo to Buenos Ayres and Chile. Govern ment officials and others cheered him as he left Sac Paulo.

Virginia Leadership

II Is this secret caucus Of the Democratic
majority that is now, as ] write, passing the
currency bill. 1t is known the Glass owen
currency bill because 1t has been in charge OF
the two committees of congress on banking and
currency, the chairmen of which are Repre-
sentative Glass and Senator Owen, respectively.
MIR, Glass an editor from Virginia, has be-
come chairman of his committee by virtue or
service on the committee, and through the
course Of that service has come to his present
knowledge of the subject, Men who know MIN
and have worked with him this bill testify
strongly not only to his dsinterestedness ana
his single devotion to the public interest, but
also his grasp of the problems involved IN
banking and currency legislation. This knowi-
edge is different in kind from knowledge OK
the banking business man may know how
10 conduct bank but he may have no knowl-
edge as TO what effect provisions Of law
might have the business or on the public
interest: and he certainly will not unless he
has made a special study OF the subject That
Mr.. Glass gave evidence of his knowledge OF
the subject in very recent speech In caucus
in defense of the bill is openly declared in Wash
ington Some of the members of the majority
have felt that the bill not radical enough,
that 1t favored private control of the money of
the country, and that 1t did not sufficiently check
the use of money for speculation in securities.
So, 1t is reported. amendments were offered In
caucus. 1t is these amendments which Mr..
Glass speech is said to have demolished. Mr..
Glass is q man of modest appearance and mod
est demeanor; but, according to his enthusiastic
supporters, whose praise he finds somewhat en-
ba rrassing there was nothing retiring or apollo
eetic in the fashion with which he fell upon the
critics of the bill and the would-be improvers
of ii. And these Democrats rather welcomed
the criticisms and suggestions coming from
within their own party because they afforded
a chance to prove that against such attack the
party support which the bill enjoyed not
to be shaken. That is why say that the
Democrats are standing together In the house
