of age when he
served as a prlvnte

Military Academy.
where he graduated

In the Northwest lu the Territories of
Washington and Oregon until the Civil

The old Midway never held a more

There Is one great Cth avenue hos

As one walks up Cth avenue one sees
Hung to the clear blue New York air a
barbaric flag which proclaims the pres

or one retugulzc a European banner
that denotes the visit of a great per-
nonage. The lobbies give further evl
elcnco of the presence of guests from
the four corners of the earth, says the
Js'ew Broadway Magazine. The Japan

the crowd with a curious look, half of
Interest, half of amused contempt.

In a pale baze of smoke. The elevators
that ascend to this room are full of all
sorts of people. Every type of Amer

type of politician's wife may be seen

old-fashlond cape1 who wants to hear
her husband's speech ; here Is a bare- j

DIED A BEGGAR.
The Iat hello Career of John Stow,
the Enirllih Antiquary.
John Stow, the celebrated English
antiquary, was a remarkable man. He
was born of poor parents about 1525
nnd brought up to the tailor's trade.
For forty years his life was passed
among needles nnd thread, but In the
few leisure hours which his trade al
lowed him he' had always been a fond
reader of legends, chronicles, histories
and all that told of the times that
were past. By such reading he grew
to be so attached to old memoirs thnt
when about forty yenrs of age he
threw down his needle, devoted him
self to collecting them nnd followed
bis new profession with the faith and
enthusiasm of an apostle. Short of
means, he made long Journeys afoot
to hunt over and ransack colleges and
monasteries, and, no matter how worn
and torn might be the rags of old
pors which he found, he kept all. re-

MIGRATION1.
Hige Annual Increase Since 1880,
Chlerfy from the South and Eaut.
Between the years 1S00 and 1880
from 300,000 to 350,000 peoplet tired of
Europe, looked for better conditions
and a new Lome on the other side of
the Atlantic every year, says the New
York Sua.
Since 1!X)0, according to the statistics
of the European ports, about 1,200.000
persons have left their native lands to
settle beyond sea every year.
The greater part of these emigrants
have adopted the United States as their
country. Several nations, in which
twenty-five years ago there was only a
slight tendency to emigration, now
show a considerable anuual loss by de
partures for other lands. This Is par
ticularly true of Italy, Austria-Hungary,
Russia, Spain and Portugal. In
the years between 1S70 and 1S80 some
30,000 Italians, 5,000 Russians and 1,500
Austrlans or Hungarians emigrated ev
ery year. To-day ubout lOG.OOO Aus
trlans and Hungarians emigrate to
America, 102,000 Russians and 157,000
Italians. These figures are1 taken from
European sources, and certainly In the
case of Italy they are too low,
Spanish emigration has talso In
creased considerably since 18S0, and
amounts to-day' to 50,000 a year. Little
Portugal senOs out from 20,000 to 25,
000 of her people annually.
' The English and Scandinavian emi
gration has changed very little in the
last ten years. German emigration has
heavily declined. Between 1870 and
1800 the number of German emigrants
each year exceeded 100,000 (maximum
of 221,000 In 1881), but since 1893 the
number has fallen off very much, and
to-day only about 25,000 Germans an-1
nually lea"e their native land. The
present commercial development of
Germany, no doubt, . ' explains the
change. In Switzerland the conditions
are similar. In 1883 the annual emi
gration amounted to 13,500; to-day it
Is odly 5,000 or 0,000. i
HOW TO DISPLAY THE FLAG.

1 should be displayed at full staff, is

EUBOPEAN
Pineapples and Strawberries.
To each medium-sized pineapple take
one teacupful of granulated sugar. Pare
and core the pineapple, cut in slices
or in squares. Mix some sugar with
the pineapple, adding enough watet to
melt the sugar. Boll briskly for fifteen
minutes. Then fill the can almost full
of fruit Then pour on melted par
affin. Use new tops and rubbers, If
possible. When the can has cooled
sufficiently,, dip the top of each can In
melted paraffin.
Wash and stem the strawberries. To
each quart of berries allow one quart
of granulated sugar. Boll briskly for
fifteen minutes. Then almost fill the
can with the berries, pouring on top
melted paraffin. Scald. When cool dip
each top In melted paraffin. Strawber
ries canned in this way are delicious
and will keep their color.
Snnderlanda.
Warm two cups of milk and put In
one-half cup of butter; let this butter
soften, but not turn to an oil. Beat
four eggs light as for cake and then
add to the milk and butter. Add four
heaping tablespoons 'of flour and beat
all hard and furiously. Fill buttered
cups three-quarters full and bake in
a quick oven until they are puffed up
well and browned. Turn at once out
of the cups on to a warm dish, cut a
gash In each and fill with a1 spoonful
of Jelly or pam. Close the gash and
dredge the tops with powdered sugar.
Strawberry Ice Cream.
Scald one pint of milk in a double
boiler; add one scant tablespoonful bt
flour blended in a little cold water,
stir until slightly thickened and cook
for ten minutes. Beat together five
eggs and two ciipfuls of sugar, add to
the cooked milk and stir until thick
ened like custard, strain and set aside.
Hull, wash and rub through a sieve one
quart of berries. To the cold custard
add one pint of cream, put into the
freezer and turn for a few minutes un
til cold. Add ttye berries and one ta
blespoonful of lemon Juice and freeze.
Sardine Salad.
Sardine salad is a delicious luncheon
or tea dish. Remove the skin and bones
from six big sardines and cut Into tiny
pieces. Place these iu a salad bowl
with six cold boiled eggs cut In quar
ters and one big, firm apple cut into
strips and three cold boiled potatoes
cut Into dice. If you like the flavor
add half a teaspoonful of finely
chopped chives and then faur table
BPon3 of Freneu dressing. Serve very
cold.
Concerning Egrffn.
A fresh egg will sink when placed In
water and rest on its side; if three
weeks old It will incline slightly with
the small end down; If three months
old It will stand on the small end, and
If older it will float with largo end
out of water more or less, according
to age. Popular Mechanics having ap
parently made experiments with aged
eggs,' is responsible for these 'state
ments. Leiuon Cooklea.
