ONE THING HE URGED.

Mr. Stevens urged the continued
recognition of the Memorial days in
celebration of important events in con-
ncction with important men in our
history.
The pupils of No. IS school under
direction of Professor Burdick sang
beautifully two selections accompanied
on the piano by Miss Lizzie Palmer
During irtermission the larger propor-
ton of the audience adjourned to the
upper floor where was displayed a
truly marvellous exhibition of school
work, comprising specimens of draw
ing, color studies, maps, writing, etc
There had been some skepticism eX-
pressed regarding this project. but
even the most unfavordbleably predis-
posed to the idea acknowledged most
cheerfully their mistake.
Among the interesting exhibits were
two sets of illustrations, relating to the
lives Of Lincoln and LongfelloW. Miss
Blewitt also had a charming display Of
water colors, while the phonic system
was also admirably indicated in eXhib-
its of primary schools.
DR.. w G, Erumbaush, of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, made the final

times to crowd so much into The mind

FINEST RESIDENCE IN pEKIN.

The British government owns the fin

its minister to China and his staff, which
consists Of Is or 20 persons, including

they are called, whose business is to

empire and make reports to the foreign
office in London for the benefit of the
British manufacturers and merchants.
young men who are placed there for
the purpose Of acquiring the Chinese Ian
guage and a knowledge of the customs
of the country prior to their appoint

government will not appoint any one to
its consular service in any country unless
he understands the language of that
country. which condition does apply to
the consular service of the United
States. In addition to the legation in

Twenty-six thousand dollars was also
appropriated for the erection of a con-
sulate at Chung-King. Wherever the
British establish an embassy or legation
or a consulate they always provide a
suitable building, as in Washington. But
the United States government own only
one such building in all the world, and
that is at Tokyo, Japan, where the a n

WHEN COOKING.

Never pierce meat while cooking or
the juices will escape.
Veal must never be laid on a dish,
but hung in an airy r.aace till cooked,
Egg shells should be thrown into
the stock-pot direct the contents are
used.
Choose butter by it's fresh odor,
freedom from buttermilk and streaks
of color.
Fish for frying should always be
dried thoroughly and dredged thickly
with flour before being brushed over
with egg and bread crumbs.
To scald milk set it in a jug or basin
in a pan Of cold water over the fire.
When the water boils the milk is
scalded.
When favoring soup use pow
dered spices as they form a sediment
at the bottom of the plate and spoil
the appearance. Whole cloves and
other spices should be stuck into the
vegetables while boiling. Long pep
per is superior to ground, but it re-
quires several hours boiling.

UP-TO-DATE

What would the women Of George
W~ashington's time have thought of our
present fashions? They had some fancies
then that now seem outlandish to us;
would our current beauties Of dress have
struck them as ridiculous? OF course,
there's little to be gained by conjecture
in these matters, but to the credit of lat
ter-day folk be it said that few, indeed,
of those that win acceptance. are lack
ing in beauty and taste, though they may
seem strikingly singular at first. A case
in point was a woman at whom every one
looked, because her gown Of violet cloth
was finished from the edge of the skirt
to the knees with close-set rows of fringe
The fringe was wool and part of the
weave of material, just as the fashion
able tuck" effect is often a part of the
goods. But so artistic was the work
that mono could be sure whether the
fringe was really in the weave or sewed
on. One girl shifted a little and remarked
to her companion that "t looked like
furniture" but that was jealousy, for it
didn't suggest any such thing.
Such novelties Of weave are held at al
most prohibltive prices when new, and
many of the new forms Of applique work
that now adorn skirts are costly, but one
thing can be said in their favor, even by
women who can't afford them, they con-
stitute skirt trimming that is not in any
way related to the overskirt, which, like
the boyle man, is going to catch us IL we
don't watch out. The applique design of
bow-knots is frequently seen in lace braid
the rest of the design being embroidery
in several shades of pink and green silk.
Pale green taffeta was the material of
the gown thus mounted, fengthwise bands
and a flower design of the embroidery ap-
pearing on the bodice front. The yoke
was shirred white mousseline, white lace
giving the points over it, and the epau-
lets, belt, and collar were pink silk and
the sleeves were shirred chiffon. For

signer classified his model. Surely a

A MODERN HERO.

Lieutenant Henderson, the leader

Gold Coast hinterland which is ruled
by the Mohammedan chief Samory,

ed the Sofa camp at Wa he was treat
ed as a prisoner, and his captors dis
cussed before him and with him the
manner in which he was to be put to
death. The victim listened awhile till
he was weary Of it. ooh, WE'LL" he
said, Il can't be bothered with your
arguments. I'm very. sleepy; let me
know when you have made up your
minds" and off to sleep he went. The
unexpected performance saved his life.
His calm Indifference persuaded Sa-
mory's men that they had to do with
some one Of immense Importance.
Unwilling to take on themselves the
responsibility for his death, they sent
him unframed to Samory's court, in
the Jimini country. He found the
chief on a throne surrounded by 1000
warriors; yet when motioned to do
homage on his hands and knees he did
nothing of the sort, but sat down on
the throne beside Samory, shaking
that monarch warmly by the hand.
Thanks to this, and nothing else, he
was accepted as the representative of
a great sovereign, instead of a captive
doomed to death.-New York Times.
