Executions In China,

The correspondent of Shanghai ,our.
nal, writing from Paoting Flu, the capital
of the province in which Pekin is stu
ated, says that the population of provin.
cial capitals are quite blase in the matter
of punishments and executions 1t is
exceedingly common to hear the sound Of
clanking letters in the street, and pres
entity meet several unwashed, unshorn,
haggard, and miserable wretches, look
ing like victims escaped for moment
from Dante's Inferno. The CHASTITY pro-
cessions that pass to and fro from the ex-
ecution ground scarcely excite remark.
A few delighted boys run and caper in
advance, the bystanders shout out testing
remarks and witty salutations to the
proudly self-conscious eXecutioner, and
the poor, half -stupetied wretch who peers
out from the tattered coverings OF the
cart. AS they reach the execution ground,
marked merely by post erected where
the roadway is few feet wider than is
common, the scattered attendants close
in hurriedly, the neighboring cake sellers
and hucksters move up to the center of
attraction, and for perhaps three minutes
all business within a radius of hundred
feet or more is suspended. Then the
good natured crowd breaks up laughing,
the empty cart with the guard of mounted
soldiers returns to the yamen, and If one
passes the spot half an hour later, there
will be only the trodden dust by the
roadside to mark the tragedy that every
dwcller in the city holds 50 lightly

Old Virginia Taverns.

Here in Virginia we have had some
famous hostelries The old Raleigh
Tavern at Williamsburg lives in TO-
nance and history. 1t must have been
we'll kept, for contemporaneous writers
speak of it so very respectfully. They
could not have written of it as they did
had the proprietor furnished them with
tough beefsteak or bad bread, or sent
them to shabby chambers, or hired a man
with Kohinoor in his frilled shirt
bosom to give them short answers to
civil questions.
Tavern was once the great name here.
The Bell Tavern, which preceded the
present St. Charles, was famous place
of resort when Byrd's Tobacco ware
house stood on the opposite side of
Main street, and 1t had worthy con-
temporary in the Washington Tavern,
which is now the St. Claire.
The Eagle Tavern was of later date
and was grander house than the other
two. In it Lafayette was entertained
in 1924. The Eagle stood on the south
side of Main street, between Twelfth aud
Thirteenth, and had an archway-the
porte cochere of the present day-into
which the stage coaches drove and
landed their passengers.
Fire destroyed it early in the forties,
and from the city's need for another
good hotel the Exchange arose. The
Exchange, the Ballard House, the
Columbian Hotel, the Pohawtan Ford's)
Hotel, the Monumental (St. Claire, and
the ST. Charles and the Spotswood were
all in operation here at one time.

RELIABLE RECIPES.

STRAWBERRY SHoRTCAKE. - Straw
berry shortcake should not be made OF
cake dough or batter Also plain bis
cult dough with little additional but
ter is better than the richer piecrust
form. Sift one quart of flour and two
teaspoons of baking powder together
rub into this four ounces of butter, add
small teaspoon of salt and sufficient
milk to make a soft dough; roll out as
lightly as possible nearly an inch thick.
Bake in quick oven until done--about
twenty minutes; then split through
with cord; never use a knife. Butter
the open halves generously and lay the
berries as thickly as possible on the
lower one. Put the other on top and
dust heavily with sugar. The berries
should first be stemmed, very slightly
mashed and we'll sugared. If they are
too large slice them with silver knife.
Do not prepare them too long before
serving, however, as they become pulpy.
The shortcake should be set in the
mouth of a cool oven few moments.
Serve with pitcher of rich cream.
THE BASIS OF COOP CoFFEE.-An
ideal cup of coffee can, it Is said, be
made only in one way. The coffee must
be the best quality and must be roasted
and ground Immediately and used as
quickly as possible. Connoisseurs in
coffee assure us that it is out of the
question to make this beverage absolutely
perfect out of factory roasted coffee that
has been allowed to stand in the open
air any number of hours; and in addi-
ton, one might say such thing as
good cup of coffee from that which is
purchased ready ground is quite an
impossibility. The fine aroma Of the
berry cvaporates in very short time.
Given the freshly roasted and ground
coffee, an earthen coffee pot heated very
hot by being filled with boiling fresh
water, which must be filled out again,
and coffee bay strainer. Then put in
the coffee, ground very fine, almost to
powder; pour upon it boiling water, not
merely hot, cover tightly, and allow the
coffee to filter through. Have ready the
cups, heated by pouring boiling water in
them, put in the re1ui@d quantity of
cream and sugar, then fill up with the
distilled nectar from the coffee pot. and
one has beverage that is a revelation.
Never expect good results from poor
coffee or lukewarm water and half cold
utensils.

A physicians little child swallowed
oxalic acid. Her father looked about

It is stated that the proportion Of
physicians to population, in the
United States, is one in 600. In Eng
land the ratio is one in 1O00,in France
one in 5000, aud in Germany one in
$500. 1t is probable, suggests the
the New York News, that the dis
crepancy may be accounted for in the
fact that medical practice is a more
profitable business in the United
States than any other country OH earth.
The average German physician, for
instance, would be glad to get half the
rates for his practice that the New
York physician of even grade enjoys.

The United States as Gem Pro
Queer.

The United States has entered the field
as gem producer. Turquoise mines are
in successful operation in New Mexico,
and the stones taken out are in many
respects, including color, equal to the
best Persian. Rubics and sapphires are
being mined in considerable quantity in
several places in Montana, and the stones
are very beautiful, although, according
to the Mineral Industry, no true red
ruby or true blue sapphire has as yet
been found there. Fine fire opals have
been discovered near Cofax in the State
of Washington. Mine buildi gs have
been erected and settlement called Gem
City founded, which it is hoped will
prove the center of a paying industry.
A surprising fact to the general public
will be the pearl fishing of Wisconsin,
which for the past few years has been
extensively carried on along the
Pecotonica and Apple Rivers and their
tributary creeks. Pearls weighing over
fifty grains each and varying in value
from $500 to more than $1,000 have
been taken.

How Gas Injuries 30 olxs.

The most formidable enemy to bound
books is gas. A couple of gas jets in a
close room will in few years ruin the
bindings of any number Of books. AL
most any reader remembers taking books
from public or subscription library
with the bindings so decayed that they
could be picked to pieces with the finger
nails. That was done by gas. The IL
brarians of this country understand the
fact, and are now, as far as possible,
lighting their rooms with electricity.
In large foreign libraries the fact has
been long known, and in some, like the
British Museum, in order to preserve the
books as we'll as to guard against fire, no
artificial light of any kind is permitted.
