To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The close of January and the severity Of
the cold that has practically stopped the
blooming of plants in the open air for the
time may make note of the conditions
of the winter of service for convenient
reference and comparison with other years.
From the first day Of December last to
January %, inclusive, dandelions were in
bloom every sunshiny day when not COW
cred by snow. These plants delight so
much in sunshine that they will open in
rather severe weather If they are in a ia
vored situation with a southern exposure.
From December % to January 2 inclusive,
snow generally covered the ground and
the temperature was low. but on the latter
day some blossoms in bare spots were open.
For considerable part of December and
of January pansieS were open In some of
the public parks. The vine-like shrub For
sythia suspense, called by some yellow
jasmine, has been scantily in bloom
ton. The warm weather of two weeks ago
stimulated the buds SO that they were
ready to open in profusion, and now,
though the last two days have been cold
enough to freeze the opened blossoms,
stragglers have pushed out in sheltered
situations. The buds Of Japan ounce have
been almost ready to open. and some soft
naples were open, and in the warm days

CHOCOLATE WHILE YOU WAIT.
How it il Prepared in Full Sight I'm
Manila.

Correspondence Chicago Record.
Here in Manila they make your chocolate
while you wait. Right into the house a
Chinaman comes with his basket and rolls
the crushed cacao bean and sugar. and then
makes supply of chocolate that is sweeter
and more palatable and cheaper than the
commercial brand sold in the Chicago
stores.
When the Chinaman comes he lays aside
his hat and shirt, and, stripped to the
waist and barefooted, he begins his work
In the basket is the chocolate or cacao
bean. from which the rancid oil has been
extracted and which oil long ago has
anointed the hair of some Filipino belle or
lighted some Filipino home. The beans
first come on the board bitter and brackish
With rollingpin the Chinaman grinds
them into fine powder. This takes time.
When 1t Is done, he opens another basket
and dips out the sugar for the sweetening
and the final mixture. The sugar is what
would probably grade coffee c. IL 1t were
in commercial circles. Like the bean. it
grows on the island. Industriously the Chi
naman rubs. and gradually the chocolate
forms on the bottom of the board and drips
on in sticky sweetness into the basket be-
meath. The family gathers about to sample
the product and the Chinaman stops to
smoke cigarette while judgment is being
passed. Cups Of the beverage are handed
around and all taste" II it is not sweet
enough Ine manufacturer throws more
sugar on his board and drops in another
pinch of vanilla and cinnamon for the flavor
ing. When it is right he goes to work
and for several hours rubs away at his
task. The deposit below the rollingpin is a
brown substance that is soft and moist,
while above it is to all appearances a dry
powder and sugar. The little ones gather
about, and if there is an older daughter
perhaps she sits down on the floor in front
of the Chinaman and watches the growing
pile.
Such was the case in the house of Span
lard today when called. The young lady
sat there and idly watched the manufac-
ture of the edible, and when a little brother
came she, took his head in her lap and he
lay there with her, watching the brown
skinned Chinaman rub and rub the sugar
into the other ingredients. 1t was insisted
that I should sample the finished article,
and found it very good.

A Rare View of Washington city.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
At the late sale of the paintings of Mr..
George E. Tewksbury in New York was

stander say that 1t was view of the city

owner moved the print to Texas, where
1t was destroyed in a fire. I have never
seen another copy Of the engraving, and
the object Of this notice is to learn more
about 1t.
The original is very well painted, the
minute objects composed In artistic light

canvas, which cleaning may exhibit. The
