When Charles Dickens arrived In
Borne, on Jan. SO, 1845, he wai pro
foundly disappointed. "It was no more
jaj Rome, degraded and fallen asleep
In the sun among a heap of ruls, than
Lincoln's Inn Fields Is." A short time
before, while be was straining his eyes
across the Campagna, a distant view
of the town bad recalled London. This
feeling soon passed away. He thought
spring (he most delightful season for
Italy. lie was again In Home In 1853;
saw J. O. Lockhart, "fearfully weak
and broken;" smoked and drank punch
with David Roberts, who was painting
that famous picture of Rome now In
the Scottish National gallery. The
Pantheon he thought nobler than ot
yore, the other anticinltles smaller.
It was lu San Lorenzo square, Flor

KKI.1KVK COAL FAMIXK.
COWS IN HOLLAND.
I'nion IMi-iflc Will Ship Illinois Coal
to Idaho.
The Union Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line are doing everything In
their power to relieve the coal sltua
tlon In south Idaho, according to
Secretary of State W. H. Gibson and
State Treasurer Coffin, who returned
Monday morning from a trip to Salt
Lake, whither they went to look Into
the coal matter, says the Boise States
man. The officers visited General
Traffic Manager Plaisted, Assistant
General Superintendent Buckingham.
All of the officers connected with the
freight department of the Short Line
promised to use every effort to divert
coal to Idaho.
"The Union Pacific has cut off the
O. R. & N.'s coal supply," said Mr.
Gibson yesterday, "and has purchased
10.000 tons of coal In Illinois for dis
tribution to those points east of Rock
Springs which have been heretofore
furnished from thiB end of the line. I
was Informed by the Short Line
freight department that not one ton of
Rock Springs coal Is being shipped to
eastern points and that every ounce
is being distributed in Utah and Ida-
! ho.
"I was told by the Short Line offl
j cials last Saturday evening that at that
time they had coal enough to run the
locomotives of their system for 36
hours and no longer. They had been
: diverting their engine coal to south
! Idaho and to Salt Lake, until they
J were themselves In serious dancgr of
' suffering from the famine.
Three thousand tons per week are
! being shipped in from Colorado to
ply the demand In Utah, and It Is
now up to the operating department
of the Short Line to bring the coal to
this part of the state."
Salt Lake last week was In even
worse condition than Boise, says Mr.
nihson. The coal famine there was
"- "I and a great deal of suffering en

. They Glvea Bncb Care.
In Holland cows are to a certain
xtent. a part ot the family, for one
member of the family always sleeps lu
the stable to watch, and often the
place Is made a sort of family sitting
room.
The cow stable Is generally a large
building, psved with brick, upon wnlcb
the cows lie, straw being scarce. There
Is a brick paved passage down the
center, at one end of which Is a fire
place, and the windows are covered
with white curtains as dainty as those
used in the bouse proper.
Sometimes the entire family wiil
gather In the stable In the evenings,
enjoying the warmth of the fire and
exchanging the talk of the day, while
the cattle, always placed with thclf
beads facing the central passage, chew
their cuds and almost seem to enjoy,
the human companionship, inese cows
are seldom brown, most of them being'
black or white or of the two colors
mixed, and because of the fertility of
the pasturage and the care taken In
their keep they are capable of giving
large yields of rich milk. In no place
in the world are cows made as much
of, and from the annual yield of but
ter It would seem that the care Is not
taken In rain.

FOOD VALUE OF BANANAS.
The? Are Mot. Like Same Fralta,
Good Only For Their Flavor.
Professors of dietetics tell us that
the banana Is not, as many fruits are,
a flavor and nothing more, but a food
and a source of real nutriment It Is
at once useful and delicious. It not
only gratifies the palate, but supplies
material for combustion and the main
tenance of animal heat, while It also
builds up the muscles and repairs the
worn and threadbare nerves.
The flour made from it In its dried
state Is equal in nutritive value to rice.
Dried and sprinkled with sugar, a
form In which It has been recently
Introduced In this country, the upstart
banana Is, weight for weight, as nu
tritious as the venerable fig.
But It Is in the fresh state that the
buuaua chiefly appeals to us. Its
creamy succulence and delicate odor
are Inviting, and Its pleasant sapor U
a prelude to good digestion. Dependent
as that sapor is In ethereal body, whlcb
the coul tar Investigators have not yet
been able to Imitate by chemical es
sence, it 1 n subtle stimulus to all
subsequent elementary processes. And
thus It Is that the banana Is an end
nently digestible food. No sense of
oppression or drowsiness follows a
meal of it, and a meal of It may be
bulky enough. Pall Mall Gazette

last week after a weary search for
William Holcomb, who was last seen
November 17. when he left his com
panion for a trip up the Boise river.
Mr. Bennett said they traced the
missing man to Wood creek, near Bal
bnck's mill, and there lost the trail
entirely. They have about concluded
he Is under the Ice In Wood creek,
since no trace can be found beyond
that point. The man was familiar
with the country and started from the
home of his brother on Smith's pra
irie. It seems Improbable that he
could have been lost. Boise Capital
