First TO avoid seeming the house,
cut the cabbage, If small, into four
pieces, removing the heart aud the
outer leaves Have large saucepan
full OF water boiling furiously. Into
this plunge your cabbage with
tablespoonful Of salt and a small
saltspoonful Of soda Put On the
cover until it b0ils rapidly again,
then remove 1t and boil for twenty
minutes uncovered.
Remember the saucepan should be
large, with plenty OF boiling water.
Cooked in this way the cabbage loses
its strong taste and becomes delicate
and easily digested Indeed, persons
who cannot possibly eat cabbage
cooked with corned beef or bacon can
indulge in cabbage boiled ini sailed

And it Is better without vinegar.
Turn the cabbage into a colander
while you prepare In saucepan a
cream sauce of one tablespoonful of
butter, one teaspOonful of flour, and
half a cupful of milk, with pepper
and a little salt. Return the cab

Northern China is the country OF fairs.
IN any given district there is constant
succession of large gatherings at which
IL is not uncommon for as many as To-
600 persons to be congregsted. The iairs
are sometimes called the ''poor man $
market" for the great display of second
hand clothing which the owners Wish to
dispose Of.
At Techou and at another point on the
Grand Canal there are annual fairs held
from the beginuiDgof the twelfth month
to the fifteenth day of the same month,
at which there is great display OF for
eign goods, especially wooleus, sold al
cheaper rates than at other times. This
is called the fair of the grain feet, aud
is one OF the products of the vicious sys'
TEN of grain taxes. About 400 vessels
are annually employed for transporting
the Shantung grain tax TO Tungchow,
near Peking, and upon their return these
vessels bring large quantities OF goods
from Tientsin, which are sold at the
fairs. While some Of the fairs are held
at times rigidly fixed and never varied
most of them are wholly uncertain as to
time.-North China Herald.
