There is another hitch in the peace
negotiations with China. The agree
ment of the ministers at Pekin did not
satisfy all the home governments to
which it was referred, being consid-
cred too severe on China in several
particulars, especially in requiring the
execution of a number of the Boxer
leaders and sympathizers. An effort
TO secure a modification of the terms is
being made, with prospect of success.
The idea is to present no impossible
terms to China which might result in
her dismemberment, thing which all
the powers except perhaps Germany
dread. Affairs are still unsettled in
many sections of China and clashes
with bands of Boxers are frequent

President Kruger, after his enthusi-
astic popular reception in France,
planned trip through Germany in the
hope of interesting that government in
the Boer cause. The German emperor
sent him word that he could not re-
ceive Kruger and the latter in great
disappointment abandoned his trip and
is now in Holland. 1t is not likely
that he will enlist any European gov
ernment to espouse his cause.

Carrots and Complexion.

A woman of 80, who does not look 40,
has in few weeks won herself an enor-
nous following among the women of New
York and some of the adjoining towns.
She carries the secret of perpet ual youth
with her, and as it lies largely in ques-
ton of hygienic living, she has not yet
antagonized the doctors, says Harper S
Bazaar. She recommends, among other
things, the drinking of a goodly supply of
water daily, and the eating Of a grated
carrot before breakfast The effect of the
carrots may not be visible at once, but in
few weeks one will netice certain cap
tivating gloss on the hair and clearness
in the eyes and complexion altogether new.
She is absolutely without embarrassment
in her criticism of her pupils, no matter
how large the audience.

The Cowboys Proof.

Jack Vance, a cowboy from the ranch
of the Butte Creek Cattle Company, was
on trial at Alliance, Neb., on charge OF
shooting at brakeman on the Burlington
railroad, with intent to kill him. He had
received his pay few days before, and
was engaged at the time of the shooting il
the picturesque pastime of painting the
country red.
Vance vehemently denied any intent tc
perforate the brakeman. He told the
Court that, while it was true that he did
take out his revolver and shoot after the
brakeman had pushed him off the train,
he was merely giving prearranged signal.
He and friend had been down the road a
few miles and wanted to ride back to the
nearest station to the ranch. Realizing
that if they were found by any of the train
crew they would be put off, they had ar
ranged that if one was put off the train he
should notify his partner by firing his re.
volver once
The trainman, with visions of what he
firmly believed was a narrow escape frou
death, shook his head, and the Judge
looked unbelieving. Vance's boy friend
corroborated the story, but seeing that his
tale falied 10 receive credence, the uerend.
ant asked the Court to please step outside
The Judge asked what for.
"1'll prove my innocence, your honor,
Vance said.
The Court was curious and went out
side. So did the sheriff, lawyers and
spectators. Vance pulled out his revolver,
and, holding postage stamp between the
fingers of his left hand, clipped off each
corner in succession. Next he asked a
spectator to suspend a hickory nut from a
cotton thread. Walking off thirty feet,
he wheeled, and at the first shot cut the
thread. Taking six tacks he placed them
loosely in piece of soft wood. This he
placed against post twenty yards
away. Borrowing watch from one oi
the bystanders, he opened the case for q
mirror, shot, with his back to the mark,
and drove each tack into the wood without
a miss.
The brakeman had been looking on ii
open -mouthed wonder. As Vance con.
cfuded the brakeman stepped up to the
Judge, and, tapping him on the arm, said
Eyes, yer Honor, guess was mis-
taken. That man WASH shooting at me.

Technical Education.



The Boston School of Technology gradu-
ated 27S young men few days ago.
Many of them had responsible and profit
able positions awaiting them when they
received their diplomas. 1t is probable
that all of them will be able to secure
good positions very seen if they desire
them.
This is because these young men are
known to be educated practically. Their
hands as well as their minds have been
trained They know how to do something.
They are qualified to become producers
and directors.
DIR. Crafts, who addressed these young
men on their graduating day said, among
other good things
"Each one of you, according to your
several abilities, has learned to do some
one thing well, and intends to go out from
here and practice it.
This is the sufficient explanation of why
these young men are in demand. 1t sug-
gests the secret of the success of graduates
of our own school of technology, SO many
of whom have gone from that institution
to useful, honorable and lucrative employ
ment. This school will soon send out an
other class, some of whose members are
already engaged for fine positions. The
demand for educated men who know how
to do as well as think is growing constantly,
and there is good reason for it.

Onions and cucumbers are two of the
very oldest known vegetables. Like peas,
the Egyptians grew them at least thirty
centuries ago Indeed, to the onion be-

Onions are not found growing wild any
where, but kind of leek is not uncom-

TIRED MOTHERS.
Mrs. May Riley smith in Baltimore News.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has so much TO bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking longingly
From underneath thetch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers holding yours SO tight
You do not prize this blessing overmuch;
You almost are too tired To pray tonight.
But lit is blessednessl a year ago
did not see it as do to-day
We are so dull and thankless and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now it seems surprising strange to me
That, while wore the badge of motherhood,
l did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And if some night. when you sit down to rest
You miss the elbow from your tired knee,
This restless, curling head from off your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heartaehe then
/ wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If could kiss rosy. restless foot,
And hear it patter in my home once more;
If could mend broken cart to-day;
Tomorrow make kite TO reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than l.
But ah the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head:
My singing birdling from its nest has flown.
The little boy used TO kiss is dead
