ing his generation, and filled what
corresponds to the prime minister in
other nations for more than 40 years.
When Hien Fung died childless in
1871 it was proposed to place Tsai
Chang, the son of Prince Kung, upon
the throne, but it was deemed in the
highest degree inexpedient because it
would necessitate the withdrawal of
Prince Kung from official life. Tsai
Chang is strong man, like his father,
and P'u Wei, his son, who is now 10
or 20 years Of age, is said to be very
much like him.
Prince Kung was the pioneer in
progress, but he was wise and prudent
and restrained the more radicalreform-
ers. If he had lived, Kang, the
reckless Cantonese adviser of the en-
peror, would never have brought about
the trouble that has recently occurred.
The story that Tsi An, the empress
dowager, was once barmaid is inter
esting but untrue. Likewise the yarn
that was printed some time ago about
her rescue from drowning by Ii Hung
Chang when she was slave and he
young soldier. In the first place there
are no barmaids in China. In the
second place, Tsi An and her sister,
Tsu An, were the daughters Of a Man
chu general, and she never saw or
heard Of Ii Hung Chang until long
after she was married to the emperor
Hien Fung and Ii came to Pekin to
receive his reward for putting down
the Tai Ping rebellion. During the
first years of the regency he made
himself very useful to her. She re-
cognized his ability and harnessed
him to her chariot.
It is equally untrue that the en-
press dowager is opposed to progress.
She is the most progressive woman in
China. 1t was largely through her
influence that the Burlingame embassy
was sent out to open up connection
between China and the world in 1870,
and that in 1872 Yung Wing and 80
other Chinese boys were sent to the
United States to be educated. She
has been the most active and consist
ent supporter of Ii Hung Chang ever
since he began to introduce modern
notions, and it has been from her that
he has received his greatest encour-
agement.
There is no doubt that Chang Yen
Hoon, the former protege and recent
rival Of Ii Hung Chang in the tsung-
li.yamen. has been banished to Iii,
over in the interior Of Asia, on the
borders of Turkestan. There is no
mystery about that, and it might have
been expected for several reasons.
He is Cantonese and the empress is
Manchu. There is a hereditary
hatred between the two races, which
are as different as the Sweeds and
Spaniards. He is partisan Of Eng
land; she is partisan of Russia. He
was born a patron of Kang, the Can
tonese reformer, who has made all the
trouble and undoubtedly assisted him
to escape.

Splendid soft gingerbread is made
with one cup Of good molasses, one
half cup Of water, one-half cup Of but

a pinch Of salt. Bake in square tins
and cut in squares. Cut the squares
open and put in bits Of preserved gin
ger, and cover each square with frost

A medical journal advises against
the excessive use of salt. 1t is first
of all perversion of taste, the condi-
ment destroying the flavor of delicate
dishes if too pronounced. Further
more. it is asserted that an excessive
use of salt seriously oyertaxes the
kidneys to remove it, ard that many
cases of arrangement and diseases are
due to this excessive use. The salt
habit, it is added, is easily acquired,
and persons indulging themselves soon
reach point where nothing is pala-

The secret of washing we'll any
wooden goods lies chiefly in having the
different waters Of equal temperature,
with none Of them at any time too hot
to put the hand in comfortably. Soap
should not be rubbed on the article,
but used in the form of thin suds. 1t
should be good white soap, too. A
little borax is probably the best thing
to soften the water. For washing
blankets or baby fannels it is to be
preferred. Woolens should not be
wrung by the hand, but rinsed or dried
by squeezing. Woolens Of any SOFT
should never be allowed to freeze.
