Chocolate, Spanish STYLE.

To know the finest method for max
ing chocolate or cocoa one must learn
of the practice in Spain or in one of
the Spanish American countries There
one finds out two important things
The first concerns the utensil in which
the chocolate is made. Our nearest
approach to this is an enameled ware
double boiler. Indeed, this is a per-
fectly satisfactory substitute for the
heavy and fragile chocolate pots ia
vored by some of the Spanish coun-
tries. The second point is that choco-
late is better if not served freshly
made. Chocolate and cocoa are much
smoother and the flavor is much i'm
proved if they are prepared some hours
before service. Cook the chocolate in
the enameled ware boiler very thor
oughly. Set in cool place and let
stand until required. Then heat to the
boiling point and serve either with or
without whipped cream.

The Arts Of Asia.

It was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature, the arts
and the sciences which we have devel-
oped and of which we now boast Gun
powder was probably invented in
China. 1t was certainly introduced into
Europe from Arabia. The finely tenn
pered steel of Damascus went over
from Arabia at the time of the Moorish
invasion of Spain, and it's manufacture
was continued at Toledo. The copper
smiths of Bagdad supplied the worlds
market with their wonderful produc-
lions centuries before there were any
industries in Europe. Weaving of silk
and cotton had its birth as an industry
in Arabia. and the weaving of wool
was learned by the crusaders in the
same wonderful country. Astronomy,
mathematics, the mariners compass
all came to us from the Arabs.

Conquered the Orchestra.

In his early days Herr Arthur nj.
kisch, the famous conductor, was ap-
pointed to conduct performance of
"Tannhaeuser' at the Leipzig opera.
He was but a young chorus master at
che time, and the orchestra absolutely
refused to play under so youthful
conductor. They were only induced to
do so when director said that if they
were of the same mind after the over
ture had been played they could then
and there hand in their designations.
The overture was veritable triumph
for Nikisch, and with profuse apologies
the orchestra offered him their congrat-
ulations.-London Tit Bits.

Use of Pious LANGUAGE,

The almost total abstinence from
using "pious'' language in ordinary
business and social intercourse in
America may be considered commend
able in some ways, but consider it a
surrender of the soul to the body, a
subordination Of the spirit of the things
which are eternal to the Spirit Of the
things which are temporal. IL my judy
ment the superior culture Of the west,
instead Of limiting the vocabulary of
religion to the one hour of formal wor-
ship on Sunday and scrupulously shun-
ming it during the remainder of the
week, should make its use on a much
higher plane thar the orient has yet
discovered, coextensive with all the
activities Of life.-Abraham Nitric Rib
bany in Atlantic Monthly.

Free Fish for Farmers Ponds.


The United States Bureau of Fish
cries Department of Commerce has
arranged with the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station to furnish fish free for
the stocking of ponds on Minnesota
farms, where conditions are favorable.
This work is in charge of Dean A.
F. Woods of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station and F. L. Washburn of
the Zoology department. Mr.. Wash
burn says that naturally the service
of the Bureau of Fisheries will be
limited because of the need OF keeping
the yearly grants of fish within the
limits of the supply. Consequently
the number of farms which can be
supplied each year will not be large
and waiting list will probably have
to be established.
Those who wish to make applica-
ton should send to Mr.. Washburn for
blanks. They will have to be carefully
filled out and returned to the exper-
iment station at University Farm, St,
Paul.
Mr.. Washburn and Dean Woods will
then approve and forward them to
Washington. ,,-'~~~

FULTON'S SUBMARINE.
The Nautilus and Its Then Daring
Feats In French Waters.

That Robert Fulton set more store
by his submarine plans than any of
his other projects or achievements in
ship designing is recalled by Farnham
Bishops "Story of the Submarine" 1t
was in Paris, where Fulton had receiv-
ed from Napoleon an advance of 10000
francs to build submarine, that his
Nautilus was brought to completion.
"On her first trial, on the Seine at
Paris, in May, 1901" writes Mr.. Bish-
op, "the Nautilus remained submerged
for twenty minutes with Fulton and
one other man on board and lighted
candle for them to navigate by. This
consumed too much air, however, so
small glass window was placed in the
coming tower and gave light enough
instead. Four men were then able to
remain under for an hour.
after that Fulton made the first
compressed air tank, copper globe
containing cubic foot of compressed
air, by drawing on which the subma-
rine's crew could stay under for six
hours. This was in the harbor of
Brest, where the Nautilus had been
taken overland.
"a trial attack was made on an old
hulk, which was successfully blown
up The submarine also proved its
ability either to furl its sails and dive
quickly out of sight or to cruise for
considerable distance On the surface.
Once it sailed for seventy miles down
the English channel" ,,.,.:-.~>-~

A Cotton Ledend.

Cotton was the theme of one Of the
most fabulous nature stories on it's first
Introduction into Europe. Travellers re-
lated that in Tartary there grew
shrub that when its ripe fruit was cut
open within was "a lyttle Beaste in
fesche, in bone and blode as though it
were lyttle Lamb with outer WOLFE"
The flesh of this vegetable lamb" was
eaten, ran the story, and the wool made
into cloth. The basis of the legend is
the way in which the cotton pod ripens
and bursts. showing the white fluffy
raw cotton, which closely resembles
WOOL Raw cotton is still called SCOT
ton wool"

KISSING TICKETS.
They Are Sold at All Large Railroad
Stations In England.


Stations In England.
The guard waved his flag; the lover
kissed his girl, she jumped aboard,
shut the door, put her laughing face
out of the window, and just as the train
was starting he kissed her again. And
the cost of this OSCILLATION was 1 penny.
That was over in England, where
they have what are called kissing
tickets" These may be obtained at
any of the larger railroad stations from
regular slot machines at penny
apiece. giving the purchaser the privi-
lege of going OH the platform and be-
ing with his friends or-as in the case
outlined-friend up to the last moment.
This custom Of issuing platform tick
cts came about by the big railroad COM
panies realizing that the delay caused
by people crowding around all the car
riage doors saying goodby when the
train ought to be under way was cost
ing them money amounting to many
thousands of pounds in the course of
the year
When the cause of this loss of money
was discovered it was at first suggest
ed that no person who was not actual
ly travelling by the train should be al
lowed on the platform at all But even
railway directors have hearts, though
there seem to be some people who
doubt it, and this arrangement seemed
altogether too cruel. Finally the idea
of charging penny for admission to
the platform was hit upon and adopt
ed. In laudatory parlance of the day
''it's a grand success" though the
scheme wouldn't work here.-Interbor-

Store that Left Over Seed Corn.

The lateness of the season and the
unfavorable condition of the weather
makes one look forward next spring
to possible repetition of the seed corn
shortage of this year, says Z. +. Bull

a precaution against a famine in seed
corn supply next year, Mr.. Bull ad-
vises that every bit Of seed not plant
ed this year be held over and stored In
a safe dry place.
Good Collars Keep the Horses Neck
Well.
A good collar fitting the horses
neck and names adjusted to fit the
collar without too great down and side
draft will do much to prevent sore
shoulders, says DR.. M. H. Reynolds,
veterinarian at the Minnesota College
of Agriculture. Sore shoulders can
be prevented easily by little care at
the right time.
"Collars must be kept clean to avoid
sores. Many cases of sore neck are
caused also by loose names saving
back and forth until the top of the
shoulder is raw.
"Some horses have abnormally shap-
ed shoulders. In this case DR.. Rey-
nolds suggests DR.. J. c. Curryer's
plan of soaking the collar a day or
two in water just before it is used on
the horse. While soft from soaking,
the collar will, adjust itself to the
horses shoulders.
