PA|HE'S CELERY COMPOUND
ALMoNDs SPOILED IN CURING.
Lose Flavor in Gaining Color De-
manded by Consumers.
From the New York Tribune)

\ wholesale confectioner Of this city
VINO has lately returned from a trip
through the almond growing district OF
California, says that he learned with sur
prise that the almond growers have for
years been depriving the almonds of tneif
finest favor in order TO give Them the
color demanded by the Eastern trade. He
tried the almond in its natural state, just
as It comes from the tree. and wondered
at the superior flavor which it had oyec
the almond prepared for market. He will
no longer insist on color perfection. and
believes that he can educate his custom
ers into eating the natural nut
The California almond grows on low
thlckly leaved trees. which are planted in
regular rows. These trees receive as
much care as vegetables in a garden Thu

usually by tramps picked up along tina
railroad, who are glad to do the light
work for 81 day.
Sheets are spread under the trees TO
catch the falling nuts. and big wagons
carry the results of the tree beaters'
work to the hulling machine. The huller
works like thrashing machine,
and few nuts pass through without los
ing their green outer covering. The sort
ing is done by girls and women.
1t is at this stage that the preparation
for market should stop. according to the
grower. The nut is then light yellow in
color, slightly soft and shows a trace
of oil. If it were not for the light yellow
color the grower would do no more. Tho
trade. however, demands that the nut
shall be golden yellow. and the grower
knows how to make it so. The hulled
nuts are spread on fat trays and placed
for forty-eight hours in the hot sun.
They are then placed in 4 bleaching
house" The sulphur fumes are turned
on. and the color of the nut slowly
changes into a brownish golden shade,
Just as the color of woman's hair is
changed under a somewhat similar pro-
cess. The nut is finer to look at, and il

SHANGHAI, Sept THE mail has
brought a number of delayed messages
from the north. One from Pekin states
that the grand censor, an imperial secre-
tary, and an unnamed official Of the Tsung-
li-Yamen conferred with Sir Claude Mac
Donald. the British Minister, on septen-
Der preparatory to opening negotiations.
Prince Ching was expected to arrive in
Pekin on September 3.
The British have seized Feng Tai. an i'm
portsnt position south of Pekin. They met
with no opposition.
Three hundred men of the Sixth United
States Cavalry defeated eco Boxers in the
imperial hunting park killing thirty of
them and capturing many prisoners. The
Boxers were armed with spears and
swords.
TIENTSIN, Sept. 1.-The telegraph be-
tween this pIaoe and Pekin is cut every
day by Boxers. Communication with the
capital is most precarious. The British

cept those of the Russians and japanese.
The Germans at Tientsin propose to
evict the Americans from certain large
warehouses which the latter have occu-
pied since their arrival. The warehouses
are owned by Cinnamon and are conven-
iently situated on the river side. 1t will
be difficult for the Americans to find other
winter quarters, as the remaining suita
bic buildings are occupied by other troops.
ROME, Sept. 9.-The "Nessagero'' states
that Marquis Raggi, the Italian Minister
at Pekin, officially reports a decision to
institute a special commission to main
tain order in the capital. The commission
will be made up of chief officers selected
from the allies. The Minister adds that
the Boxers who instigated the massacres
are being tried by court-martial.
