local officials blame it ONT the gov
ernors; they, in turn, pass it up to the
viceroys, and they Though at the risk
OF losing their positions and perhaps
their heads) refer it to the tsung-li-
yamen, which generally dsposes of it
by the circumlocutory process, as al
reauy mentioned.
I MS supreme repository of red tape
approximately represents our depart
ment of state, but consists of from
elgnt to twelve men taken from The
boards and grand council, who get
together enthusiastically and air
their opinins. Ii request is proffer-
ed, they at once set about to find out
how they cannot grant it, end if a
foreign diplomat seeks an audience to
avoid 'kowtowing'' to the emperor he
is usually badgered out of his wits and
made to feel that he is fortunate to
escape with his honor intact.
In substance, the tsung-li-yamen is
a sort OF buffer devised by the astute
Celestials to stand between the sacred
person of the emperor and the outside
barbarians and to mitigate the shock
of contact with the indignant repre-
sentatives of the powers. According
to reports, the willy empress dowager
has availed of it to formulate and put
in effect her sinister schemes against
all strangers in China and TO promote
that shutting policy Of evasion which
has always been characteristic of Chi
nese Diplomacy.

In fruit season there are a number of

cherries with brandy and let stand for

of that time set the liquor aside for flu

months it will be in good condition,
but. like all other homemade liquors
it is improved by age.

In making a salad, everything used
should be perfectly fresh and cold A
salad is something which should APP
pear at least once day on every table
Olive oil, in most cases. is the one
thing essential to a perfect salad, but
as many do not like it and others think
it too expensive for general use other
kinds of dressing are used. All yege-
tables used in making salads should
after washing be put to drip in a cool
place. II thick, strong mayonnaise
dressing for any salad is used 1t may
be improved by adding TO pint, one
half pint of thick cream, whipped stiff
This makes it very light and delicious
ii one does not care for particularly
high seasoning
Canned Lettuce-Doubtles there are
many housekeepers who have never
tried canning lettuce and for them
will give the following recipe; Pull
enough lettuce to fill as many cans as
are needed, and then rinse it lightly in
cold water and put in the cans roots
downwar1, but care must be taken not
to crush re leaves or roots. Fill the
cans nearly full with lettuce, then fill
with cold water and seal, and set the
cans on the cellar bottom. For those
VINO ike lettuce salads in the winter
this will prove valuable recipe.
The season has arrived when the
careful housewife prepares for the
dreary time coming when the market
stalls offer no fresh fruit for the table
Just now there is an abundance of
berries that can be lad for a song,
and the days are not far distant when
pesasaes, pears and apricots will be
here in great profusion.
In putting up fruit see that all the
essentials are on hand before begin
ming work. See that all utensils are
in perfect order, that supply of new
rubber bands is on hand and that the
cans and glasses are as clean and sweet
and clear as soap and water can make
them.
If every time can has been emptied
it has been carefully washed and dried
and put away with its own top screw
on, this part of the work will be great
ly simplified. Yet even If cleaned be-
fore putting away they will need to
be scalded Just before using.
Never use tin vessels for cooking
fruit nor yet iron. Brass, when thor
oughly cleaned is pleasant to use, but
its expense and the labor necessary to
keep it in good condition preclude its
adoption in the ordinary kitchen.
The size of the cans to be used may
depend largely on the size of the fam
lily. For small family the pint-sized
jar is best for nearly everything, TAX
ing pains to select those with wide
mouthed tops. Half-gallon jars will

TRANS-PACIFIC BUSINESS FROM
THE SOUND.
viii Affect the Whole World-Will
Shut Out Suez Canal.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.-The
railroad rialto is discussing with con-
siderable interest the coming trans-cOn-
tinental and trans-Pacitic competition
that is promised for the early part of
next year by President Hill of the Great
Northern Railway.
The Great Northern now has in course
of construction two steamships that will
be the greatest freight carriers afloat.
Fash ship will be $50 feet long, "A feet
beam and will be able to carry the
freight of 400 cars. Three other YES
sells of the same tonnage are to be built
and these, in connection with his rail
road and the steamer lines he controls
on the great lakes, may enable him to
make good his promise to shippers that
he will transport goods from the East
ern cities to the ports of China and
Japan at the rate of SIS per ton.
Mr.. Hill says he proposes to handle
freight but twice, once at Duluth and
again at the Sound, and counts on maxi
ing a fair profit on the 81 per ton share
that will go to the railroad company.
Pacific Coast railroad men say that he
may be able to deliver the goods, and
competitors are wondering what will
happen in the event Hill makes good
his promise. Under present conditions
the price of hauling commodities from
Mississippi River points to the Pacific
coast ranges from SlO TO $40 per ton,
without reference to transportation
across the Pacific.
1t is stated that the Great Northern
people are confident of their ability,
with the rates named, to shut California
out of the China flour trade and to mo-
nopolize the transportation of lumber
to transPacific ports and overland. 1t
is conceded that the big northern rail-
road man proposes to try out" his
scheme, and the railroad men who are
interested in the promotion of business
| for this port are figuring on what can
| be done to head off Hill in the event
that his enterprise proves remunerative
and becomes an established service.
One thing is declared to be certain
and that is that if Mr.. Hill tries any
such experiment on San Francisco he
will stir up a transportation war the
| reVerberations of which will be heard
around the world, because it would be
paralyzer for European commerce
! through the Suez canal
| The advent of those big ships will be
! watched with a large lot of interest
| by shippers and transportation kings
| generally.

MAKAWAO DEBATERS.

MAKAWAO, Maui August 1.-THE
Makawao Debating Society held it's
regular monthly debate last evening in
the parlors of the Makawao Foreign
church at Paia, before rather a small
attendance. The question under dis
cussion was Resolved, that the Presi-
dent and Senate of the United States,
should be elected by direct vote of the
people," led by ID. c. Lindsay and DR..
w. f, McConkey on the affirmative,
and r. f. Engle and w. o. Aiken on
the negative. DR.. McCOnkey was not
able to be present, but sent in his de-
bate written out and the same was
read by ID. T. Fleming. The vote re-
suited in favor of the alternatives.
Question chosen for next debate was
Resolved, that the Republican no.
minees for President and Vice-Presi-
dent, should win at the next election"
Good debates have been held lately,
and much pleasure and benefit have
been derived from them.
