Tea in the russian Manner.

One must not forget, in speaking of
Russian meats and drinks, the omni-
present, universal stakan chai-the COB
let of weak tea, burning hot, sand fra
grant with mingled perfume of the Chi
nese leaf and the golden lemon, which
is served everywhere and at all times
in Muscovite lands. The samovar, an
urn of brass or copper, is seen and
heard everywhere boiling; and the Rus
slams have the same good sense which
the japanese display in never allowing
the infusion to become u decoction.
Tea that has been standing for any
length of time is justly looked upon,
by even the moujik, as rank poison.
Although, therefore, milk is seldom or
never obtainable, this hot Russian tea
in the glass goblet, which is held by
q silver or enameled cup, wins the
gratitude of the traveller, who will Oft
times end by preferring it to less sci.

o'clock. Prom Russian Letter.

FLORAL HINTS,

Cuttings of the fichus will not start
well without bottom heat. Better buy q
young plant.
Moles, so it is said, will not remain
long where the castor oil plant (Ricin.
us) grows.
Lavender is grown like any ordinary
garden plant. You can procure seed
of any dealer in flower seeds.
Roses do best in a somewhat heavy
soil containing considerable clay. Car.
nations are generally increased by cut
tings or by layerings.
Fertilizer for Roses.-Use old, rotted
COW manure on the roses in your gar
den. Use it literally, digging it in well
about the roots.
Tulips and hyacinths need not be re-
moved to new beds each year. An
nuals can be grown In the same bed in
summer without injury.
Old Bulbs.-It is not advisable to
keep bulbs which have been forced in
the house for second crop of flowers.
Get fresh bulbs each year.
Peony plants must become perfectly
established before flowers can be eX-
pected from them. Any disturbance of
the roots is not recovered from imme-
diately.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Fruit in Hot Weather.

1t is popular fallacy that the free
use of fruit in summer is the cause of
bowel disturbances, while as a matter
of fact no diet can be more healthful
Mt this time than one composed of fruit
and farinaceous foods. with perfectly
pure milk. Flesh of all kinds decom-
poses with great rapidity both before
and after eating. and summer heats
greatly accelerate this process;
hence flesh food frequently causes
grave arrangement of the bowels, as
the poison produced by this decomposi-
ton acts powerfully as an emetic and
purgative. All meats are so heating
that they should be used sparingly dur
ing hot weather. and there is the added
argument that the whole system Graves
a change from the winters diet.

Sweet Sandwiches.

Excellent sweet sandwiches are made
from nuts and stoned raisins chopped
fine and moistened with a very little
icing. These are used best with brown
bread or crackers. Candied fruits, cher
ries, plums. or pineapples make de-
licious sandwich filling, minced fine and
moistened with wine or lemon juice. 1t
is a golden rule of all sandwiches that
the filling should be minced if possible,
and moistened into paste with some
suitable sauce, juice, or other amalga-
mator. A tablespoonful of whipped
cream is useful for this purpose, or
plain cream may serve. If the cream is
used with meat, it should be sailed, if
with fruit, sugar may be added.-N. y.

THE GIRL WHO MARRlES.
Things to BE Done and Things to Be
Left UndOne.

Left UndOne.
The girl who marries must not expect
to find the married state an enchanted
garden of happiness, where never a
weed or thorn grows. She will certain
ly have many times of trouble and wear
iness; but she must with brave heart
and indominitable courage, face the
new unknown life which, along with
fuller joy than she has hitherto known,
lies before her. She should never allow
even her mother to criticise and find
fault with the behavior of the man she
has taken for better or for worse. She
should do all in her power to make home
the daintiest, cosiest little nest imagin-
able, so that the husband shall only be
too glad to spend his evenings there in
stead of going off to his club" She
must bear in mind that no man, even
"the dearest fellow in the world" can
bear with good temper being kept wait
ing 20 minutes for his dinner, or finding
his shirts minus their complement of
buttons and his socks full of holes. She
should not forget that well-cooked,
daintily-served meals go far to insure
household peace. No time is wasted
that is spent as means to this desir-
able end. Everything put on the table
should look as nice as it tastes. She
should strive to be always as fresh and
attractive as a newly-opened daisy
sparkling with dew, and as sweet-tem-
pered and loving little wife as ever
gladdened the heart of a husband

Fruits as Boot Cleaners.

Orange juice is one of the best dress
ings for black shoes or boots. Take a
slice or quarter of an orange and rub
it on the shoe or boot; then, when dry,
brush with a soft brush until the shoe
shines like looking glass. This is an
English recipe. Another fruit dressing
is for tan shoes, the inside of banana
skin. Rub the skin all over the shoe
thoroughly, wipe off carefully with a
soft cloth and polish with a flannel
cloth, briskly. Patent leather shoes
should not be polished with backing.
These are the hardest kind of shoes to
keep looking well and require constant
care. They may be cleaned with damp
sponge and Immediately dried with a
soft cloth, with occasionally a little
vaseline or sweet oil. They must never
he donned in cold weather without
heating or they will crack as soon as
exposed to the cold air.-Chicago

summer by ultra-fashionable voting
women, and that they are to form the
most brilliant feature of the summer
wardrobe.
The accompanying picture shows one
Iof the most effective parasols that have
been made this season. The foundation
lis of changeable blue and green silk,
lined with satin of bright yellow. The
stick is of wood with handle of mala-
chite and gold. Peacock feathers of I'M
.tusual size and variety of hue cover the
silk completely and suggest wonder
fully brilliant bird poised for flight.
French women, who originated the
fad, claim as one of it's merits that
it can be worn with any costume. The
peacock plumage is harmonious with
almost any summer gown and is a de-
cided ornament at any function where
it may be worn. An imitation of this
idea is seen in the parasols of heavy
silk, brocaded in design resembling
the actual peacock feathers.

bake in a quick oven.
Asparagus Omelet.-Boil some tender,
fresh-cut asparagus in very little
water with a small portion of salt; chop

NEW WOMAN IN CHINA.
First Chinese Lady to Practice Medi-
cine in Her Own Land.

First Chinese Lady to Practice Medt"
cine in 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
as 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, coincidentwit his return,
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.
Among the few Acknowledged stand
ard-bearers of the mute new born re-
volt against the subsection of Chinese
womankind DR.. HUI King Eng stands
preeminent. Of her sex and race the
first master of arts, the second doctor
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
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1897-07-09

grandfather, HUI, was mandarin of in
huence. In the SEVENTEEN year of his
age he became a convert to the"Jesus
doctrine" and with him his two sons,
Hu 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
Hu 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 q thorough student, evincing
marked artistic ability-an inherited
talent. Furtive peeps into the dispen
sary and wards of the adjacent hospital,
however, determined e1fectually 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
four years later master of arts. Three
years more of study, and the degree of
doctor of medicine was conferred by the
Woman's Medical college of Philadel-
phia, and, also, after a brief POSTCARD
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
it 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 a coolie wheeling
his blind old mother 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 wealthy mandarin
was dumb from his birth, and so of no
account-disqualifi 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.
