CHINA AND JAPAN AS WAR POWERS.
The Relative Strengths Of Their armies and
The Growth Of Their Fleets.

WAsHINGToN, July "a struggle be-
tween the two leading Asiatic powers
proper, such as il now threatened over the
affairs of Corea, would possess remarkable
interest AS the first conflict between them
since they have adopted the weapons and
the methods of European and American
warfare.
Beginning with the land forces, the enor-
nous disparity in population between the
$50 900 900 OF China and the fewer than Al /,
600, 900 of Japan is reflected in their armies.
1t is difficult tor foreign nations to reckon
exactly what military and naval forces can
be properly set down as imperial in China
and what others as provincial. How
ever, the manchu or ''eight-
banner soldiers the Imperial army proper,
are supposed to be about 2SS 900 strong,
of which perhaps one third, or about &C.,
600, including the Pekin corps, $4,000
strong, are drilled in modern tactics and
provided with modern arms.
The troops of the green flag are put at
about $40 900. yielding, however, probably
less than 2G0, 900 in condition and fitness
for war. There are also troops in Man
chuili, with militia in Mongolis and Thi-
bet. In round numbers the Chinese mill
tary establishment might be put at from
1000 900 to 200 900, with little more
than one-tbird, or perhaps $50, 900 TO i00,-
900, now prepared for service in war, and
a still smaller portion thoroughly trained
and armed according to modern European
methods

Rose Paste.

A delicate flavor of rose leaves Is n great
addition to certain cakes and CONNECTIONS,
and a rose paste made at home is purer
than many of the extracts sold for the pur-
pose, according to Harper's Bazaar, which
gives the following recipe: 1t is made by
chopping the leaves of fragrant roses into
smooth mass with white sugar and plac.
ing them in an oven long enough to heat
thoroughly, but not entirely melt the sug-
ar. Use a cupful of tho leaves to 8 Of
sugar. Keep in alright cans and allow
to stand six months before opening. This
must be used carefully, only u small guam
tity being necessary to favor a large cake
A novelty at u recent dinner was u Roman
punch Favored in this way with the Turk
ish preserved rose leaves, which may DO
purchased at any store dealing in oriental
goods. Into an ordinary Roman punch,
which is simply lemon sherbet favored
to taste with rum, tho rose leaves were
stirred n few at a time until n delicate fla
vor was obtained, and the mixture was
then frozen to u soft and snowy consisten-
cy and served in small glasses. Half can
of the Turkish leaves would flavor suffi-
Gent quantity for eight persons.

DANGERS OF DANCING.
Disturbed Heart Action, bronchitis and
Pneumonia After a Ball.


Pneumonia After a Ball.
Modern dancing in close and crowded
parlors and drawing rooms is receiving
criticism from d hygienic point of view. A
medical authority expresses the opinion in
the New York Hcrald's European edition
that it is very undesirable and says.
physicians are unanimous in condemn
ing dancing as it is understood at present,
but it might be made a hygienic exercise
if it were executed in tho open air and in
the daytime, and if the amount of the ex
ercise was in proportion to the strength of
the dancers"
After n ball it is quite common to find
that many delicate young women show
signs of disturbed heart action or of laryn-
gifts, colds, bronchitis and sometimes
pneumonia and pleurisy. In all eases of
consumption dancing should be rigidly
forbidden, as it may cause the disease to
assume a rapid form of fatal development.
In cardiac troubles also indulgence in
dancing is likely to prove very dangerous
The correspondent referred to further says:
1t is scarcely necessary to refer to the
dust of all kinds, to the innumcraDle mi
crobes that the dancers send flying into
the air, nor need we speak of tho untimely
strain imposed on the organism, which, at
time when it ought to be at rest is, on the
contrary, overexcited. What greater mis-
take than the midnight supper, at which
the most unwholesome things arc eaten
and drunk Tho guests bolt in very
short time food that Is generally heavy and
washed down with strong wine, and this
is scarcely over before the dancing is re
sumed against the most elementary rules
of common sense and hygiene. Nor is this
all, 1t is not the body alone that is con-
cerned, as the mind has its share in this
fatiguo by the vivid emotions produced by
tho conversation, music and flowers.

Angel Food.

Angel food, if correctly prepared, is one
of the best loaf cakes made. The recipe
herewith given ia warranted by The Bak-
ers' Helper to be the best: I'd
Beat very stiff and dry 10 whites Of eggs
(one-half pint, sift together twice, q half
pound of powdered sugar, ounces of pas
try -four, an even tcaspoonful of cream tar
tar. Add all this to the eggs, stirring very
gently with wooden spatula. Sprinkle a
half teaspoonful of vanilla powder to 1t
and fiji in the regular angel food tins
Soak these molds in cold water always be-
fore using. Fill while wet--just rinse
them out-and when baked turn molds
upside down. Never grease or. line the
molds with paper. just have them wet,
and the cakes will fall out when cold, as
white as snow, all the crust sticking to
the mold. Frost very thin and give icing
very delicate flavor, or just little lemon
juice or maraschinO.

Paper telegraph poles are the latest de

Paper telegraph poles are the latest de-
yelopment of the art of making paper
useful. These poles are made of paper
pulp, in which borax, tallow, etc, are
mixed in small quantities. The pulp is
cast in mold, with core in the centre,
forming u hollow rod of the desired
length, the cross pieces being held by key
shaped wooden pieces on either side of
the pole. The paper poles are said to be
lighter and stronger than those of wood.
and to be unaffected by sun. rain, damp
ness, or any of the other causes which
shorten the life of a wooden pole.
