From all sources ofpublic thought,
from one end Of the country to an
other, has gone up such a scathing
rebuke of the Senator from Sout b
Dakota that is comparable to no
other public man OF modern times.
The awful storm OF abuse this man
has called down upon his own head
and upon his state ought to be a
matter of deep humiliation to every
loyal citizen OF South Dakota. The
papers and magazines are full OF it,;
public men are talking about it. To
be ignorant OF this current history
of ones own country is to plead for
that veil OF charity ever generously
extended; or, to know, and yet be
insensible to it's import is but to
disclose the dazed stoicism ola men

The Precious Records" work that
came into existence at some indefinite
date about the tenth century and
which is supposed to supplement the
teachings of Confucius, gives in full
detail everything the Chinese sinner
may expect to have happen to him
when his soul arrives in Hades in
sedan chair and is formally received
there by the God of Fate" Hades Is
conducted like state department, and
is divided into so many halls of judg
ment, each with it's president, staff of
officials, and specified number of hells.
The DEGREES of every president and the
penalties in every hell are so minutely
given that there is no danger of a mis-
taken address for any soul. although
it is recorded that one virtuous man
was cut off in the prime of sanctity,
and his soul conducted to the hall of
judgment by the blunder of a demon
who was severely reprimanded. There
is no red tape in this administration,
and rewards and punishments are al
lotted with scrupulous care. 1t some
times happens that the merits of an
accused soul exactly balance his Of
fenses, and he is then allowed another
chance, and begins life again with ex-
cellent opportunities of well-doing. If
his account does not stand to his cred
it, he may be born again to deformity
or intolerable disease. People thus at
f1icted in China are believed to have
misconducted themselves in a pre-
vious life. There are inducements to
virtue as well as punishments for vice.

one stage of existence she may be

How Caviar is Made.

The making of caviar is simple
process. 1t can be prepared in any
household convenient to sturgeon
fishery. In fact, under these condi-
tions only is it had in absolute perfec-
ton, for the longer it is kept either
sealed in glass or tin the more rapid
its deterioration. 1t is for this reason
that the caviar eaten in Russia,
packages, is so far superior to that
procurable elsewhere. In the cavier
of commerce the roe as soon as it is
taken from the fish is placed in tanks,
when it is carefully washed. Then it
is rubbed through screens until the
eggs are separated. The last process,
or rather next to the last is the pack
ing in salt in kegs, and the keeping
of it cool in ice or cold storage until
1t reaches the Gamers, who seal it in
tins or in bottles for export. This is
all the manipulation that it undergoes.
When prepared for household use the
cleansing, separation of the eggs and
packing in fine salt are all that is nec-
essary. There is but one way of serv-
ing it and that is on toast or brown
bread and butter or as canapes with
lemon juice and a little olive oil. 1t
is the only aliment that admits of but
single method of culinary" treatment.

Novelty Salad-Put into a salad dish
two apples chopped fine; over this Il
layer of powdered sugar, a layer of
English walnut meats, two bananas
sliced fine, powdered sugar again, two
oranges sliced fine, and over all pour
the juice of two lemons thickened with
granulated sugar as much as it will
absorb. Chill thoroughly before serv-
ing. Fine.
Almond Drops-Whites of two eggs,
one cup granulated sugar half a tea
spoonful of vanilla half a pound of
almond meats, blanched and quar-
tered; beat the eggs to q stiff froth,
add the sugar gradually as for icing,
then the vanilla; last of all the al
monds. Drop with n teaspoon onto
pans lined with buttered paper; bake
to a light brown in quick oven.
Beets With Sour Sauce-Use a small
stiH brush, and be careful not to
break the skins in cleaning; boil ten
der, remove the skins and cut into thin
slices. Put half a cupful of vinegar
over the fire with one tablespoonful
OF butter, one teaspoonful of sugar,
half teaspoonful of salt, and a dash
of pepper; when it boils add one table
spoonful OF cornstarch dissolved in
two of water, stir constantly until it
boils smooth, pour over the beets and

WORDS OF WISDOM,

When you have faults do not fear
to abandon them.
1t is a beautiful necessity of our ma
ture to love something.
Benevolence is to love all men
knowledge is to know all men.
Learning without thought is labor
lost; thought without learning is peril
Gus.
Ii man take no thought about
what is distant he will find sorrow in
store.
He who speaks without modesty
will find it difficult to make his words
good.
Remember this - that there is q
proper dignity and proportion to be
observed in the performance of every
act of life.
Practice complete relaxation of
brain, nerves and body. Use one-half
the will force in this as in other things
and you will succeed.
The moral courage that will face OBJ
loquy in a good cause is much a rarer
gift than the bodily valor that will
confront death in a bad one.
Education does not mean teaching
people to know what they do not
know. 1t means teaching them to be-
have as they do not behave. 1t is pain
full, continual and difficult work, to be
done by kindness, by watching, by
warning, by precept, and by praise.
but above all, by example.
Where vindictiveness is shown we
may be sure that there is a lack of
moral sense. 1t is somewhat curious
to observe also that the vindictive
have seldom any real wrong to re-
venge. They very often imagine the
injury they seek to return in kind or
distort the circumstances which gave
rise to the injury, real or supposed.

Elements Which VIII Tend

Empire Intact.

spite common opinion to the contrary,
that have sufficient statesman-like
qualities to govern China wisely and
successfully. These would be support
ed by a considerable part of the popu-
lation that is ready to take active in
terest in public affairs, if there be no
danger of political exile or punish
ment. Who can doubt the ability of
such men, for instance, as the eminent
Chinese minister at Washington to
take the lead in guiding China out of
her present difficulties? Fifth, it will
be found that China's particular weak
ness in the present trouble is the lack
of national police, or of organized
forces of law and order, such as
well-trained army. If she had DOS

CENSORS in WAR
TIME WRITERS GREATLY HAMpERED
L nIAAo IN AFRICA.

The mystery surrounding the con-
ficting and confusing dispatches re-
ceived from the war correspondents in
South Africa during the progress of
the invasion of Boer territory by the
British is solved by Julian Ralph in
the London Daily Mail. He lays the
blame to the censors of war news, all
of whom subjected the correspondents
to the most humilating trials and an
noyances when they attempted to
send news to their papers. He states
that one could not imagine to what
depth censorship had fallen in the
British Army before Lord Roberts
took supreme command. War corre-
spondents, men who had become fam
GUS the world over for their ability in
that line and their fearlessness dis
played in many deadly conflicts, were
subjected to the whim of a common
place man in gilt buttons-and snub-
bed in the bargain-in an attempt to
perform their duties In speaking of
b. F. Knight, the peer of modern war
correspondents anu lle aulnOF OF
Where Three Empires Meet" Mr..
Ralph said: There is no ADLER or
braver man or more experienced writ
er among the purely technical corre-
spondents than he. He is as great in
his line as any general under the field
marshal, and greater than most, for
he has been in the glare of the search
light of public scrutiny during 13 wars,
and no flaw has been found In him. To
him Lord Methuen said, I am proud to
have you with my army For the av-
erage army officer to pass judgment on
what Mr.. Knight sends home is gro
tesquely ridiculous and for such an
officer to needlessly hamper him in his
work is an impudent and fragrant mis-
use of power"
During the operations of the British
Army around De Aar the correspond
ents began to believe it hopeless to at
tempt to get anything through to their
papers or the public. They were en-
couraged to write dispatches SO that
the censor might amuse himself by
tossing them into his wastebasket ev-
cry night for fortnight without ever
warning the writers of their fate. At
last becoming desperate they inquired
of the censor if there was any news
he would pass. He replied, "yes; you
may describe the sandstorm. The peo

HAS SURVIVED
MANY SHOCKS.

In view of the fact that the efforts
of the powers to restore peace in
China may result in the ultimate dis
memberment of the Flowery Kingdom
it is well to bear in mind several in
fiuences which will tend to keep China
intact.
First, she has survived many other
shocks, some of which were as severe
as this, notably the brief wars with
Japan, France and England, and
former rebellions. Second, the pow
ers of Europe and Japan are keenly
jealous of each other and will admit of
no division that is not satisfactory.
They may even become engaged in in
ternational war and China be the least
sufferer. Third, the United States,
which in way holds the key to the
moral situation, is opposed to any
alienation of territory, while Great
Britain and Japan maintain the same
attitude. Fourth, there is large ele-
ment OF very able men in China, de-
