SALT LAKE COUNTRY IS
 VISITED BY SALT STORM

SALT LAKE CITY.-Towns in the vicinity of Great Salt Lake were visited by one of their in frequent freak" storms recently, white dust, said by some to be salt, falling over the entire Salt Lake valley in conjunction with a light rainfall. Some of the older inhabitants call them salt storms" and maintain that salt is rained upon the earth.
 According to the local weather bureau, however, the fall of salt or sand, comes only when there is a high wind which whips the salt or sand from the salt beds in the vicin- ity of Great Salt Lake and drops it several miles away. It is said that most of the substance which gives everything white coat $ sand and not salt, but this is dis puted by those who have tasted the substance and pronounced it salt.

PARIS WARNED AGAINST PACIFIC
 HUN INVASION

l. PARIS.-Warnings are being heard on all sides that the Ger mans will exert all their ingenuity to make true the prediction attrib- uted to Dr. Richard Won Kuehl- mann, (former German foreign secretary that lin less than five years time, the Germans will be back in Paris Specifically, that is to say) and in favorable condi- tions.''
 Evidence is accumulating tha. the preliminaries of the kind of pacific penetration at which the Germans seem to be particularly adept, already have commenced. German merchants with pre-war business connections in France are endeavoring to pick up the threads again, and the papers now and then publish obsequiously worded mis- sives to French firms, inviting them to resume our pleasant relations
 More dangerous in the eyes of the French are the attempts that are being made by German serv- ants, now posing as Alsatians or Swiss, to slip quietly back into their old places with French families. In some cases, their Teutonic accent betrays them; in others suspicious employers have detected minute flaws in otherwise irreproachable legitimation papers. Registry off, ees, although exercising the most scrupulous care in wedding out suspects, are not infallible.

 To get more than the original amount provided for in the rail- road act, it is claimed, it will be necessary to amend the act so as to eliminate the s35, 100000 limita- tion, thereby leaving Congress free, under the terms of the bill, to ap- propriate all the money that may be needed to complete the railroad. Such an amendment was offered by Delegate Wickersham during the last session of Congress, but no action was taken upon it.

SEATTLE, May 24.-(Delayed A special dispatch to the Post Intelligencer from Washington says that Secretary of the Interior Lane has requested Congress to appro- priate the sum of s1,964,351 imme- diately to tide the Alaskan Engin- eering Commission over until June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
 The failure of the Sixty-fifth Congress to act on the Alaska rail road appropriation, he says, has seriously curtailed the worh on the government project, causing many laborers to quit Alaska and con- polling those who remained in the employ of the Alaskan Engineerin 2 Commission to work on a half-pay basis, the bala ,e to be paid to them when additional funds become available
 At the present rate, the seere- LdTS HI 1OIHSu liIS Id"uldhc1s, &h~ commission will have a deficit on June 30 of s876,863, but more than that amount is needed to prosecute the work vigorously during the month of June, which is a good month for construction. To ask fog an appropriation covering merely the deficit, points out the secretary would have the effect of delaying construction and increasing costs.

PLENTY 0F FOOD IN POLAR AREA,
 SAYS EXPLORER

SAN FRANCISCO.-A residence on sea ice for an indefinite number of months, or even of years, is quite safe and feasible, according to Vilhajalmar Stefansson, the Arctic explorer. Storker Storker- sens recent drift about the Arctic on an ice field he looks upon as an incident devoid of any particular danger or difficulties. Speaking recently of some of the results of Storkersen's drift, as indicated by the partial reports which have reached him, Stefansson said:
 His drift and his soundings show clearly the absence of heenan Land, if Keenan Land is taken 10 be as shown on the latest maps pub lished by the American Geographi- cal Society. However, Captain keenan's report of the sighting of Keenan Land was so indefinite that there always has been doubt of just where 1t would be charted.
 This last journey of the Cana dian Arctic expedition also shows afresh what all the journeys have shown-that the carrying of food in sledge exploration in the north polar area is not only unnecessary but actually disadvantage, as the heavy loads of food interfere with the ease and speed of travel. Seal: and bears are available as food
 Tt has also shown that the west ward current, known to exist in the vicinity of the Alaska coast, does not exist, or at least is not pro- nounced, two hundred miles from land
 They have confronted the sounG- ings taken in other parts of the Beaufort Sea on the previous jour neys of the expedition, showing great depths of the ocean, averag- ing probably about two miles. I make this last statement tentatively, for we have not as yet Storkersens < complete soundings, but on the general report that he found deep water. .-~ =:
 ''Thse repeated journeys of the Canadian Arctic expedition show that every part of the polar area is now easily accessible by sledge travel, if only you have with you party of young men, who are not homesick, and are willing to spend enough time in their work. For we have shown that you can travel anywhere on the sea ice in summer and live safely on it at periods when you do not care to travel, resuming your journeys again when the season becomes favorable. .- .-. ~.

NEWS BRIGHTENS HOME

LONDON. May 26.-The gloom which overhung the Hawker home has been turned into joy, and the young wife of the daring aviator has been kept busy since the re- ceipt of the glad news, receiving congratulations of friends.
 On Saturday the king telegraphed Mrs. Hawker, advising her that he feared her husband had been lost. She refused to believe that he was dead, however, declaring that to- morrow would bring her good tid- ings, as Sunday was her lucky Jay. And sure enough, before Sunday had passed, news of the finding of her husband was flashed over the wires.

FOOLISH IDEAS SOME HAVE
Old Fellow Righteously Indignant at
Fastidiousness of the Guests
of His Hotel.

Capt. Lindsey Polk, director of a
number of hotels. said recently in
New York:
European hotels, even the best of
them, are inferior to ours. While /
was in Paris / saw an advertisement
of fashionable new hotel, and the
boast the management made was that
it was as good as the best American
hotels. was pleased with this trib-
ute."
Captain Polk smiled.
"Well," he resumed, "our ideals are
high. No more hotel keepers like the
old fellow who complained about his
summer visitors:
"'You wouldn't believe the nom
sense that is in them. They is al
ways wantin' a clane tablecloth an
clane sheets to their beds. An table

water. Make a sirup of four pounds
cinnamon, one teaspoonful of ground
cloves and two quarts of vinegar. Tie
the spices in bag. Pour the hot sirup
over the drained melon rind let stand
"a hours. Reheat the sirup four morn
ings, then cover for winter use.
Tomatoes Canned.-Take one gallon
of water, one cupful of salt, and bring
to the boiling point, then drop in whole
tomatoes. previously peeled, and cook
until well scalded through. Place in
cans, using a skinner to drain off the
brine. The juice of the tomatoes will
make liquid enough to cover them, and
the brine may be used for any number
of tomatoes.
Nut Conserve.-Take two pints of
grape juice, two pounds of sugar, four
oranges sliced thin, the juice and graf
ed rind of lemon, one and one-third
pounds of chopped raisins, two-thirds
of a pound of chopped walnuts, one
fourth of a pound of chopped filberts.
Dissolve the sugar in the juice, add
the other ingredients and simmer for
one hour, or until a thick marmalade
is formed.
Picked Onions.-Select small silver
skinSeS onions; put them in a brine,
after peeling carefully. Let stand
three days in brine that will float an
egg. Drain and place in a jar, first a
layer of onions three inches deep, then
a layer of horseradish, sprinkling of
cinnamon, cloves and cayenne or. bet
ter, chopped red pepper; repeat until
the jar is full. Cover with vinegar
brought to the boiling point; add one
cupful of brown sugar to quart of
the vinegar. Pour hot over the onions,
and seal.

A rubber plant should be washed
with milk once or twice a month. This
will keep the leaves glossy and hand
some.
Save the discarded tooth-brushes
and old underwear for cleaning and
polishing silver. A clean, dry brush is
the best kind of cleaner to brush the
whiting from chased silver. Use the
soft underwear for the hard rubbing,
and finish the polishing with cham
Ois skin. n. &!
If silver is rubbed after soapy bath
with channels skin, once week, the
hard cleaning will not need to be done
so often.
The French way of making tough
meat tender is one worth remember
ing: Lay the steak in marinade of
three tablespoonfuls of olive oil and
one and one-half of vinegar; let stand
four hours on ice, turning frequently
to be sure that both sides are treated
then broil as usual.
When cooking a pudding either by
steam or in boiling water, take care
or the pudding will fall or be soggy.
A cut lemon dipped in salt or bath
brick makes a fine cleaner for copper
or brass. 1t is also good to remove
stains from the coffee and tea pots.
A nice laundry bag may be made of
two bordered towels, using a draw
string at the top. For holding scraps
and pieces, a circular bag, which may
be laid out fiat on the floor will be
found convenient, as then any bundle
can be quickly found.
A good tonic which may be brewed
at home is sassafras tea. This is an
old remedy used by our grandmothers,
and one which is perfectly reliable.
Steep a small handful of sassafras
root by covering with quart of boil
ing water. Strain and drink half a
cupful night and morning. 1t purifes
>he blood and acts as a tonic.

dressing; then a simple dessert, like
musk melon, peaches and cream with
a cooky, or a small sponge cake with

boiled Goldfish, half-dozen milk crack
ers which have been softened by pour
ing boiling water over them, a quart
of milk and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in bowls, very hot, with a
cracker on top of each. Fresh fish may
be used in this chowder. Add the fish,
cooked until tender, OBJ it may be add
ed about twenty minutes before the
dish is ready to serve Too long cook
ing of the fish will make it tasteless.
Corn and Rice Muffins.-Take two
cupfuls of buttermilk, one cupful of
cornmeal, one teaspoonful of soda. a
pinch of salt, half cupful of cream
and half cupful of boiled rice. Mash
the rice; add a pinch of salt, and the
cream, an egg well beaten and the but
termilk mixed with the soda, then the
meal. Bake in buttered muffin tins in
a quick oven.
Banana Puffs-Take one cupful of
sugar, tablespoonful of butter, one

a tablespoonful of butter and a quar-
ter of cupful of water; cook until
soft, adding an egg, well beaten, by
pouring the cooked mixture over the
egg, stirring constantly. Serve hot.
