All Leen is good little girl who lives
in the Presbyterian mission, away from
the pomps and vanities of all this wicked
world. Ecery Sunday, ,however,she goes
religiously 20 church along with the
other girls who have been rescued by
the kind-hearted ladies of the occidental
board. The passing of this procession
is an opportunity eagerly seized by
the eligible bachelors of Chinatown,
who turn out en- masse and line the
sidewalks along the route, each good
one cherishing the intention of see
ing Miss CulbertSon for the hand OF
the girl who strikes his fancy most.
One gay and sprightly bachelor was
particularly struck a couple of months
ago by the beauty of All Leen. BE
watched the procession pass with eyes
only for her. and when she had entered
the sacred edifice, instead of resigning
himself TO go home, he made mighty
effort tc overcome the prejudiceS OF
early education and followed her into
church. From that date a change has

Courtship, as it is understood in
Chinese circles, is a somewhat tame

ing all the interviews. Many Chinese
merchants have offered to lay their
hands and hearts at All Cheng's feet,
but she has seen SO much of love-mslo-

The American is always instituting

are proverbially ungracious. The ac-

peculiarly so. Moreover, since men

Hints For Housewives.

Chemists say it takes more than twice
as much sugar to sweeten preserves and
sauces If put in when they begin to
cook as it does if the sugar is added
after the cooking is done.
When baking cake, on removing it
from the oven place the tin containing
the cake on damp towel for a moment,
and the cake may readily be taken from
the tin without sticking.
Do not wash oilcloths or linoleum in
hot soapsuds. Wash them with tepid
water and wipe with cloth dampened
In equal parts of cold milk and water.
A small piece of candle may be made
to burn all night by putting finely pow
dered salt on it until it reaches the black
part of the wick.
To prevent bruise from discoloring
apply Immediately hot water, or, if that
IS not at hand, moisten some dry starch
with cold water and cover the bruised
place.
To remove the finger marks from var
nlshed furniture rub them with cloth
dfmpened with sweet oil. To remove
Tom from oiled furniture use kerosene
oil.
