Captain Dreyfus was arrested O x
15, 1804, on a charge o f selling military
secrets to Germany, was condemned
and publicly degraded Jan. 4, 1805, and
transported March 10. In 1800 he was
brought back to France for retrlul by
court martial, was again found guilty
on Sept. 0, but was pardoned by the
president. A fterw ard a court o f ap­
peal reopened the case and July 12,
1000, declared that his first conviction
was based on forgery, and he was re­
stored to his original rank in the army
and promoted to major. The whole
proceeding covered about tw elve years,
but Dreyfus wns in exile most o f the
time, and the actual trial, or both o f
them, occupied but a short time. There
have been many longer trials, some in
the United States, which is more not­
ed for long trials than for short ones.
The celebrated Tichborne case in Eng­
land, gsowing out o f a fraudulent
claim to a large estate, lasted 103 days.
The trial o f Warren Hastings, gover­
nor general of India, before the houso
o f lords, lasted seven years and three
months, commencing Feb. 13, 1788,
and ending in his acquittal April 23,
1795. Probably this is the longest trial
on record.
PISH CHOWDERS.
H O W D K R 8 are flab or clams stow
ed with salt pork and vegetables
They may be conveniently subeti
tuted for soup on the Lenten bill of
fare.
Among the various ways o f making
chowder the following are recoin
mended:
An Elaborate Chowder.
Newport Clam Chowder.—Take one
quart o f clams, a three inch cube o f
fut salt pork, one sliced onion, one-half
cupful o f cold water, four cupfuls of
potatoes, cut in three-quarter inch
cubes, a pint o f boiling water, one cup
ful stewed and strained tomatoes, one
quarter teaspoouful soda, one cup
scalded milk, one cupful scalded cream,
two tablespoonfuls butter, eight soda
crackers, suit and |<epper. Cook pork
with ouion and cold water ten minutes;
drain and reserve liquor. Wash clams
usd reserve liquor. Parboil potatoes
five minutes and drain. T o potatoes
add reserved liquors, hard part o f the
clams finely chop|>ed and boiling water
When potatoes are nearly done add to
mutoes, soda, soft part o f clums, with
cream and butter. Season with suit
and pep|>er. Split crackers, soak in cold
milk to moisten and reheat in chowder
Cooked With Milk.
Cream Fish Chowder.—Put a fish
weighing about six pounds In a wire
basket Set in the kettle with about
three quarts o f boiling water. Salt to
taste. Cook about fifteen minutes, or
until done without breaking. Have
ready tw o sliced onions and as many
potatoes as you wish. Take out the
basket, turn the fish out on a platter
to cool and put potatoes and onions in
the fish broth. Cook until done When
done thicken. Pour into a tureen with
a tableepoonful o f butter, one cupful o f
milk and a few crackers. Remove skin
and bones from the fish. Put the pieces
o f fish In the tureen. Serve hot.
Made With Whitefish.
C
Columella, a Spanish-Roman
; traveler and writer o f the first
• century A. D.. said that for suc-
I cesaful farming Just three things
| were essential-knowledge, capl-
. tai and love for the calling. Aa
\ true today as it was when wrlt-
> ten. the fact that knowledge Is
\ essential Is too often lost sight
' of. Men who have succeeded in
! other lines o f work or in none
; enter agriculture and fall fo r the
'■ lack o f it, then christen it “ hard
luck." Had Columella been in­
clined to be a maker o f epi­
grams be would probably have
added to his statement that
knowledge, capital and love for
the calling are essential, the no
less true statement that lack o f
the first is apt to result In loss
o f the second and third.—Better

The proper name o f the fund Is the
“ Carnegie Foundation For the Ad­
vancement o f Teaching,” founded by
Andrew Carnegie in 1006 and incor­
porated by congress in 1900. The in­
stitution is endowed with if 14,000,000,
anil its primary purpose is to provide
retiring allowances for teachers and
officers of colleges, universities and
technical schools In the United States,
Canada and Newfoundland und lu gen­
eral to advance the profession o f the
teacher and the cause of higher educa­
tion hy pensioning old teachers and
widows o f those who have died. The
amount o f the average retiring allow ­
ance is $1,028.41. In the administra­
tion of its endowment the foundation
has restricted its allowances to pro­
fessors and officers in n list o f seventy-
two institutions selected for their edu­
cational standing. The distribution of
the fund does not iuclude public school
teachers.

POLLUTED WATER.
Two Simple Teats by Which its Im­
purity Say Be Noted.
Every one knows and admits the ne­
cessity fo r pure water. When you are
away from home and are not sure o f
the character o f the water supply It
would not be a bad Idea to make a few
simple teats. The results may prove
that it was decidedly worth while to
take the trouble, says the New York
Sun. H ere are tw o testa that you can
make very easily:
Fill a tumbler with water, drop in a
lump o f white sugar, cover It with a
saucer and let it stand overnight on
the bricks at the side o f the range, on
the kitchen mantelpiece or. in fa c t
anywhere where the temperature will
not sink below 00 degrees. I f next
morning the contents are clear the w a­
ter is pure. If, on the other hand, the
liquid la cloudy some source o f con­
tamination is indisputably proved.
The second test is to drop a few
grains o f permanganate o f potash into
a tumbler o f water, cover and let it
stand for an hour. I f the w ater is
still o f the bright rosy color to which
the chemical turned it. It is perfectly
safe for drinking. I f It is o f a brown­
ish color It is Impure, although the im ­
purity may be o f the kind that boiling
