Among the knives sold for the kitch-

cutlery say that steel knives must be
kept away from the fire or their tenn

more value than an iron knife.
Besides these kitchen small tools
there are needed covered saucepans,

Glove Economy.

1t is, perhaps. TOO much to hope that
women will ever be brought to wear
gloves big enough for them. They will
probably always insist upon getting
their gloves one or two sizes smaller
than they ought to be, in spite of the
fact that easy-itting gloves will wear
twice as long and really look infinitely
better than when, as a famous acade-
mician once said, the fingers are made
to look like so many sausages. 1t would
be safe to declare that not one woman
in hundred buys gloves large enough

fuls of sugar, saltspOOn of salt, and a

over the eggs, mix well, and put into
deep dish or custard cups of white

water, CRATE little nutmeg on each,

Lorenzo Marques correspondent, under
date of November II, says: Chaplain
Matthews arrived here to-day. He
testifies to the splendid defense of the
Royal Irish Fusiliers and the Glouces-
ter regiment against an overwhelming
force of Beers, who held positions on
three sides of the British troops Re-
tirement on the fourth side was impos-
sible, as the way was too precipitous
and surrender was the only alternative
to humiliation, as the Beers were on
the point of opening a shell fire upon
them. 1t was pathetic to hear the
Fusiliers bemoaning their misfortune,
several, with fearful eyes, saying:
Father, would rather have been shot
than this"

After the glycerine had been exploded
in the well it developed a high gas
pressure and made a tremendous flow.
j. d. Payne, Nelson Hooyis, Ward
Glass and Nose Stutler were in the
derrick at the time. When the well
flowed almost simultaneously there was
terrible explosion and in the twink
ling of an eye the derrick was envelop-
ed in flames. The four men were all
badly burned, Payne and Stutler fatal

soon after he was extricated he faint

he has inhaled the flames and fear the
worst. John D. Payne is well known
throughout oil domains and held in
high esteem by the entire fraternity.
He was twice Mayor of Oil City, Pa,

many oil deals of large proportions.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. November 1e.-The
Empress of China brings the following
Oriental advices: Just before the steamer
sailed a series of murders were committed
in Shang T>ung, China, the victims being
subordinate Chinese officials, The muir
ders were in revenge for alleged high

cruising around the Palawan coast for the
next month or two.
Chinese students continue to be sent to
Japanese schools at Toxic. where there are
now upwards of 300 Chinese taking the
Japanese course Of study.
1t is evident from the tone Of Japan and
China newspapers that the relations be-
tween Russia and Japan are far from ami
cdDle, Official statements 10 the contrary
Notwithstanding. AS an indication Is the
positive statement emanating from Shang-
hal that the Russian government has pro-
tested against Chinese students being sent
to Japan, also against the engagement of
Mr.. Yano as adviser to the Chinese gov
eminent and against Japanese officers be-
ing engaged to train the Chinese army.
The latest development just prior to the
sailing of the Empress is the report that
a Russian warship arrived at Masampo
to enforce Russian demands. A conser-
vattve statement, that of the Chinese Ga
letter, follows: "The Nippon observes
Russia'S proceedings in Korea with consid-
cradle uneasiness. Concessions secured in
connection with whale fisheries, acquisition
of lease of Ulung island, purchase OF land
at Fusian, and apparently determined at
tempts to procure property at Masampo,
all these incidents constitute, in our con-
temporary's opinion, valid evidence that
the great Northern power is pushing for
another port in southern seas"
