doctor of medicine was conferred by the
Woman's Medical college of Philadel-
phia, and, also, after brief post-grad-
uate course, by the Philadelphia Poly
clinic. Then followed several months
of practical work in the Woman's hos
pital Of Boston.
In December of 1890, DR.. HUI, fully
equipped for her life work, returned to
Foochow to assume charge of Liang-au
hospital. A triumphant homecoming
1t was. Mandarins and coolies, high and
low, met the ship, eager to pay their
respects.
Her most priced successes, however,
are not social, but professional. One in
stance is related of coolie wheeling
his blind old mother a thousand miles
in a wheelbarrow to consult the woman
doctor. 4 double cataract operation,
and the blind was made to see.
The only son Of a wealthy mandarin
was dumb from his birth, and so of no
account-disqualified to worship before
the names of his ancestors. The tied
tongue once relieved, and the dumb
was made to talk! Hence the name and
the fame of the Miracle Lady!"-N. Y.

A SINGER OF THE GLEN.

Waterfall. waterfall. there is laughter ir
your brawl,
Where echoes mock the music of your caro-
and your call,
While grim rocks responsive ring to the
merry songs you sing,
Though so stern they frown above you,
rugged giants strong and tall.
Through your ripples as you flow silver
shuttles come and gu,
That with gold threads weave lace patterns
shimmering softly to and fro;
Your gold tresses like girls decked with
rubies, diamonds, pearls,
And the countless flashing gems which
only water naiads know.
Sweet the flowers which nod and drink at
your cool and messy brink,
And the silver chains you make and
wreathe around you link by link;
Sweet the shadows shy which play meath
your spangled wells of spray,
And the silver ingots falling in your pool
with CHEEKY clink.
When a care-free, laughing boy partook
of all your joy,
And my merriment was free as yours from
evil or alloy;
In this peaceful rocky glade you and I to-
gether played,
When the stern old rocks relaxed to hear
the music that we made.
As see you in my dreams. you no older,
graver seem,
Your priceless shower of jewels just as
bright and joyous CLEAN,
Each a mirror brings to me scenes my
eyes yet love to see,
And these later years are gladdened by the
light that used to be.

He Had Earned the Right to BE Called
Cyclone.

Cyclone.
Several men gathered about horse near
the western market the other morning,
commenting upon the prominence of the
beasts ribs and general lean and lankiness.
The animal belonged to farmer living near
Ypsilanti, and, it was said, never permitted
grass to grow under its feet on the road.
The farmer was not pleased with the re.
marks and the strong differences that the
poor thing had never realized the sensation
of corn and oats.
"What do you call your horse?" was
asked.
"Cyclone, and don't he look il? replied
the man from the rural districts.
Cyclone! What name. He certainly
looks as if one had struck him."

friend. 1t was just like this. You remem.

Her Husband Greatly Impressed by
Her Wonderful Ingenuity.
"You open the drawer in the kitchen
nearest the hall, and on tin pie plate
you will find steel fork"
That is what Mrs. Billtops said to Mr..
Billtops when he had asked for some
thing with which to wind up the I'M
wound spring in the roller of "a window
shade. Did Mr.. Billtops find the steel
fork on the tin pie plate in the drawer
nearest the hall in tho kitchen? Well,
ask him! He did; and he not only
found it here, but he found it with the
sharp points of it's primly parallel
prongs pointed safely away from him,
and it's handle conveniently within
reach.
He carried the fork into the dining
room, but there Mrs. Billtops took it
from him, and wound up the shade her
self. Mr.. Billtops observed that the
tines of the fork were just wide enough
apart to fit snugly over the flat-sided
spindle of the fixture, so that it was
perfectly easy to twist the spring up
with it. He learned, indeed, that Mrs.
Billtops kept this fork for the express
purpose of winding up window shades,
and when he had seen her wind up this
spring with it, and then throw the little
side piece, that held it, into place again
with single touch of a hairpin, why,
he was more than ever convinced, if
that was possible, that Mrs. Billtops
was a wonderful woman.-N. Y. Sun.

WOMAN AND HOME.
NEW WOMAN IN CHINA.

FIRST Chinese Lady to Practice Medi-
cine I'm Her Own Land.
The higher education of women in
diligently winked at, in special in
stances even upheld, by Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang, and through him by the
vast Flowery empire! Such, surprising
al it seems, is the present status of the
woman question in China, the still
shadowy beginning of a vast social rev.
olution; a result of the astute states
mans occidental tour.
At least a number of his recent acts
and the complacency with which they
are received by the public SO signify.
One of these, coincident with his return,
was the choice of DIR. Rachel Q. Bonn,
OF Tien-Tsin, where is his palace, as
physician to the women of his house
hold; another, deeply pertinent, the
appointment as delegate to the wom-
ems congress to be held in London in
1898 Of two young Chinese girls, Miss
Wang and DR.. HUI King Eng.

Of medicine, DIR. va Mae Kin gradu-
ated in 1889, but without returning to
the orient married Eca de Siloa, with
whom she lives in Honolulu, her posi-
ton in the history of China is unique.
King Eng was born in Foochow to a
heritage of wealth and aristocracy. Her
grandfather, HUI, was a mandarin of in
huence. In the SEVENTEEN year of his
age he became convert to the"Jesus
doctrine" and with him his two sons,
HUI Pc Mi and HUI Yong Mixing Eng's
father-both of whom for more than 80
years have been Methodist pastors and
presiding elders. Soon Grandmother
HUI and her daughters-in-law, all Of the
bound-foot class, influenced by convinc-
ing, even coercive, arguments, also re-
luctantly embraced the alien faith.
When quite a child, King Eng was
placed in the girls boarding school at
Foochow, where, in time, she developed
into a thorough student, evincing
marked artistic ability-an inherited
talent. Furtiye peeps into the dispen-
sary and wards of the adjacent hospital,
however, determined effectually her vo-
cation to be, not art, but medicine.
With that end in view the little high
caste Celestial maid, now in her 18th
year, came across the seas, having met
and conquered bitter, determined oppo-
sition. She Immediately entered the
Ohio Wesleyan university, graduating
years more of study, and the degree of

COOKING VEGETABLES.
Mrs. ROrer Points Out the Food Value
of Garden Products.

Mrs. ROrer Points Out the Food Value
of Garden Products.
Although it is well known that the
American markets give an abundance
of vegetables, it is regretted that there
is no country where they are so little
appreciated" writes Mrs. S. L. Rorer in
Ladies' Home journal. ITO this omis-
sion may be traced much discomfort
among the poorer classes. The legu-
minous seed, peas, beans and lentils,
yield almost double the amount of mus
cle-making food to be found in beef.
One pound of beans costing five cents
will give food value equal to two
pounds of beef at SO cents, an item Of
economy worthy of thought. 1 am in
this considering old peas and beans;
those green or unripe contain a larger
amount of water and more sugar, and
less albuminous matter, but on the
other hand they are more easily di-
gested.
"An concentrated vegetable foods re-
quire long, slow cooking to render them
suitable for use. A little baking soda
added to the water in which old
peas and beans are cooked removes the
strong flavor, making them much more
delicate. All vegetables should be
washed well in cold water. Green vege-
tables, such as spinach, caulifiower, cab
bage, Brussels sprouts, cucumbers, kale,
onions, leeks, asparagus, turnip tops,
beet tops, Swiss chard, young peas and
string beans, should be cooked in boil
ing sailed water, and boiled slowly until
tender, not a moment longer or the
flavor will be lost"

Fine Tutti Fruit Pudding.

Tutti frutti pudding is made by
putting one quart of cream in double
boiler; add to the yolks of five eggs
a cupful of sugar; beat until light; stir
these in the hot cream. Cook a mo
ment, take from the fire, strain, and
when cool add teaspoonful of vanilla;
turn the mixture into the freezer and
freeze; when frozen stir in one pint
of whipped cream and one cup of cher
ries, chopped fine, half the quantity of
pineapple, chopped fine, and three or
four green cages. All the fruit must
be soaked for an hour in orange juice.

ger to the waiter, lowering discreetly
in the background, and murmured Z

The man, nonplussed, gazed from
cashier to customer. Hal, his eyes upon
space, was deliberately fitting on a
glove.

sure" the waiter would afterward OBJ
serve in telling the story, as he long
continued to do. "But blamed if he
was! Blamed if 1 didn't have t. chase
back after that beefsteak!"
Precisely what had prompted Halls
freak, he himself could not have told.
Probably the chief elements in his mo-
tive were sense that, payment for the
half-pound of flesh being exacted, ii
would be POLITICALLY just for him to
insist upon the letter of the law; an
obscure notion of making it impossible
for the establishment to profit further
from that particular "order;" and more
than all else, youthful prediction
for a prank.

counterpart-was at length produced
Our absurd young man gravely thrust
a fork into it, held it, dripping, aloft
for few seconds, then drew a news
paper from his pocket, wrapped up his
property, grasped the remarkable par
eel in gloved hand, and pausing by the
way to pay his scot and to make the
waiter his friend for life, strobe out of
the place.
Now shortly after Halls going into
the restaurant, a grotesque little figure
had come along and seated itself on the
curbstone just without. 1t was that of
a slip of girl, perhaps ten years old.
She wore a woman's jacket, the sleeves
whereof had been cut off at her wrists
that is, at about their elbows-but
which had had no further remodeling.
Being of stiff material, it kept some
thing like its pristine shape, with gen.
erous, feminine curves, well-marked
waist line and modish, futed back. The
waist line came only bit above the
knees of it's child wearer, and the skirt
hung well-nigh to her shoetops.
Over the small maiden's head and
pinned beneath her chin was a woollen
kerchief whose original colors, what
ever these may have been, were mel
lowed by time and CRIME to soft,
Witty maroon, like ashes of damask
roses, and in the lowered border to
lovely. subtle pinks and green's and yell
lows.
This delectable headgear framed a
sallow, wizened, but not unhappy, little
face, lighted, paradoxical though the
assertion sound, by pair of dark eyes.
The child's name, and it please you,
was, and is, Katarzyna Radzcswski!
Only Slav can pronounce that, though
any person in the article of sneezing
violently may come very near it. We
however, like the most of her acquaint-
ances, will call her "Katia."
Across Katia's lap, as she sat there
lay some folded pieces of dingy cotton
print, the previous wrapping Of big
bundle she had just left at a clothing
factory round the corner. For this fac,

He is going to save all this by placing with
his patrons Dairy Separators, and have
wagons call for the cream.
In this way the farmer will get the full adj

at home for stock feed and will not be at ex.

Before ordering these 500 Separators, val

different Dairy Separators on the market
were very thoroughly considered and prac-
teal tests were made by Mr.. Moody.

were the most desirable and best made ma
