 City cooks too frequently fail to properly string beans before cook ing them. This is annoying at the ta- ble. Beans are vastly improved by a cream of milk and butter dressing.

HARD WINTER IS COMING.
Experienced "oodsmen See Certain Indications of an Unusually
 Severe Season.

"All the signs in the woods," ex- Washington Star reporter, ''point to very severe winter, though it may be a short one. The squirrels have already begun laying away their winter store of nuts, though in the immediate coun- try around Washington the nuts have not begun to fall to any great extent. The crop of acorns, hickory and chest nuts is unusually large this fall, some trees that have come under 1ny obser- vation bearing at least double the quantity they did last year. This is a very reliable sign of a severe wintero
 "Another sign is the crop of persim- mons, which is also extra heavy. The few frosts that we have had have not done much to ripen the persimmon and many of them are yet green. My observation cOnvinces me that these signs are entitled to some dependence, though, of course, they are not recog- nized as infallible by the authorities on the subject. l think I have satisfied my own mind on the bearing the per simmon has on the weather that is to follow and that this is incontroverti- ble: If the persimmon ripens and falls early the winter will be brief, but if it holds on to the tree late into the fail the winter is very liable to be late in it's Wind-up and severe while it prevails The animals are pre pairing for a cold winter, and there are some reasons for believing that they know what they are about

GCr;.,any'S Policy.

BERLIN, Nov. 2O.-In the reichstag yesterday Count von Bulow, the imperial chancellor, made an important declara- tion in regard to Germany's policy i'll China. Germany. he said. was not wag- ing d war of conquest: she had no desire to play the role of Providence on earth, and the HohcuzOllernS would not tread in the path of the Bonapartes. She only sought atonement for Chinese misdeeds and guarantee of reforms. Germany desired her share in what was to be won from China, but would not overrcach any one and also would not let any one over reach her. Nor did Germany desire a partition of China, having nothing to gain by it. But she desired that the influ- cnce accruing to her in the present move ment be preserved to her.

VERY MILD SENTENCE
Punishment Of Chinese Lead
 CTS Only Illusory.
PRINCE TUAn BANISHED TO HIS HOME
The EIict Not as Severe as at First Reported. and thc Foreign En- voya Cannot Accept such
 FecsIe Penalties.

LONDON. Nov: 20.-Dr. Morrison, wiring to The Times from I'eking Sun day. says:
 Tn communicating the punishment edict, dated Sian-fll, Nov. 13, to the for eign envoys Iii Hung Chang submits it as the final punishment the court is able to infiict and repeats the stercotypcd plea of all Chinese plenipotentiaries- namely. that the emperor threatens him self and Prince Ching with severe pun ishment if they fail to induce the repre- scntatives of the powers to accept the compromise.
 ''rhe mildncss of the sentences excitcs ridicule and strengthens the ministers in their determination to demand the death penalty. The punishmchts are illusory. Prince Yuan is merely banished to his own home, and others undergo a merely nominal lowering of rank. Perpetual inn prisonmcrt means a life of honored re- trcnlent.'
 The Morning Posts Pcking correspond ent, wiring Saturday. says:
 The cdict inhicting punishment is 1nilder than the first reports suggested Prince Tuan and Prince Chwang are oE- Iy banishcd and not imprisoned. Duke :. Ian is merely dismissed. The foreign e1ivoys cannot accept the edict owing to the inadequacy of the punishmcnts.

 The French consul here reports says the Shanghai correspondent of Tine Dali ly News, that severe prosecutions of Catholic converts continues in the prov ince of KianC-si. MT.

 According to the Shanghai correspond ent of Tine Times it is asserted on good authority in Ticn-tsin that there arc still some missionaries surviving at Tai-yuen- flu under the protection Of the mundarins.

The staff upon the exterior Of this cGtficc is HOW nearly all in place, 2id the great structure is ii, the hands of the color artists.
 Though a very large building, 500 by $50 feet, the fou: facaccs arc so bro ken by architectural features that there is nothing of noaotony or sever ity. Every one who has the good for- tune to visit the grounds during this advanced stage of development unhcs- itatingly applauds the happy results of both the architectural and color schemes.
 In order that tie reader may have a correct understanding let iac first de- scribe the molGed work with which the exterior of the building is ornamcntcl. By means of the very ingenious pro uuction known as staff, which is made cut of white plaster, into which liberal quantities of manila fiber have been mixed in order to make it tough and durable. tl:e Exposition 5buiidings are given ;lez appearance of solidity and lnassivenoSs ;la well as Iho beauty of richly 4niycd stoi:c.

PEKING. Nov. 1T, via Shanghai, Nov. 20.-The ministers are not satisfied with the punishment of Chinese princes and others responsible for the Boxer out rages. They say that while the punish mcnt may appear severe in some cases 1t should be remembered that these were the men who were responsible for all the loss of life and countenanced all sorts of outragcS.
 There is still considerable complaint about the actions of the German soldiers in the neiGhborhood of ChoU-chou, and the missionaries have now taken the mat ter up. Some of the charges are to the effect that the soldiers have aged women and demanded money the Chinese officials of villages. h reply to the complaint of the missionaries Count won WalderSec declared that he had stop ped footing in tie south and restored or der

 CINCINNATI, Nov. 2O.-The experts who have been working with Receiver Tucker on the books of the German Ma tional bank at Newport place the short age of Brown, the missing assistant cash fer and individual bookkeeper, at S191,- 300. According to reports from those who were with Brown when he left last Tuesday night, he had less than S50O with him. Browns salary was only $1, 800 year. Cases are now cited where he spent more than that amount in one day. His bond was for $1O,OOO, and it is good as far as it goes.
