WASHINGTON, September ls.-With
Inc herman proposition to postpone peace
negotiations with China unit! the persons
responsible for The Pekin outrages are
punished. and the French and Russian no.
dihcaton OF the purpose of those Govern
ments to begin such negotiations at once,
awaiting him, the President found much
matter Of Importance 10 dispose OF upon
his advent in Washington from Canton
this morning. He lost no time in notifying
the officials he desired to- consult on his
return and the day was largely given up
TO private discussion.
THE ANSWER.
Although it was stated that no answer
would be ready 10 the German note to-
day. it appears that the President. alter
talking over the situation with Attorney
General Griggs. Acting Secretary Hill and
Assistant Secretary Adee, had arrived at
a conclusion TO the nature of the re-
Spouse that should be made
Mr.. Adee spent the afternoon consulting
Acting Secretary Hill and in drafting the
note of response. but all information as to
its nature was refused at the State De-
partment- II was said that the note is to
BE gone over carefully at q future meet
ing.
GERMANY ANXIOUS.
Germany is anxious for a speedy answer
10 her note. as Baron Sternberg paid two
visits TO the State Department after the
German note was delivered.
The conclusion reached from the days
developments is that the Powers are divid-
ing. China, and at present Germany and
Great Britain stand aligned against France
and Russia. while both sides are seeking
the adherence of the United States.
CAUSE OF THE NOTE
BERLIN, Sept. 19.-it is understood that
the Immediate cause for the Issuing by
germany of the circular note TO the Pow
trs regarding the Chinese settlement was
the fact that Il Hung Chang, during his
recent interview with the German MINI
fster to China. mentioned number of
names of alleged high maildarins hithes-
10 wholly unknown as those responsible
for the PeRin olirages and said that
China was willing 10 punish them.
This exclamation seems TO be borne out

SHEETS OF BREAD.
Indian women bake Thorn in the Am,

Indian women Hnke Ihom In the Amer
Il lean Desert.
IL you wish to dine off a sheet OF
bread, you must go to the great Am
erican desert and ask the women of
the Molxi Indians to bake it for you.
But IL you are wise, you will not in
Quire too closely into the details of
the process. The preparation of the
bread, In sheets hardly thicker than
sheet OF paper, is real art among
the Moki women. A corner in the
principal room is set aside for the ac-
commodation OF shallow trough,
walled in with slabs of stone set on
end The trough is divided into three
compartments. and in these the first
process OF bread-making takes place.
When bread is to be made, girl
kneels behind each compartment.
Shelled corn is then put on the fat
stone in the first compartment, and
with a coarse oblong stone the first
girl proceeds to rub it. The coarse
meal thus prepared is passed on to the
next compartment. Here it is again
rubbed with a stone less coarse, and
passed on to the third stage. The re-
suit is a decidedly floury meal. With
brush which is made of dried grass
bound together with a string of cali
co, and with which the floor is swept
between times, the meal is then gath
cred up and mixed with water to a
thick batter. Then comes in the art
Of the baker. She takes a single
handful of the batter and spreads il
over a long, fiat stone, under which a
fire has been for some time burning.
The batter is made to cover thinly the
entire surface. When one side is bak-
ed she takes the bread by a corner
and pulls it off dexterously, turning
it the other side up. When it is done,
long, fiat basket receives it, and the
baker turns the edges all around, so
that the air can get at it. Sheet after
sheet is baked until the basket is piled
high with the blue bread, or "piki,"
which the baker pronounces "peka."
No salt is used in the batter, and the
piki has a sweetish taste. 1t is usual
ly blue, partaking of the color of the
corn from which it is made. It is eat
en- dry or in a sort of soup. When the
men go on a journey they take pikl
made into rolls, very much as one
would roll up sheet of wet paper, the
bread being of about the same thick
ness as the paper. The stones upon
which the bread is baked are prepared
by the old women of the tribe with
great secrecy and much ceremony.
They are very valuable, and are hand
ed down as heirlooms from mother to
daughter. The first stage in the pro-
cess, so says Popular Science News, Is
smoothing and filling of the surface oil
the stone with hot pitch. 1t is then
smoked and rubbed for many days
with an accompaniment of rude chant
ing AS far as a white man may know
the first rubbing is with smooth
stone, the next with pieces of wood,
while the finishing work is done with
the bare hands. The result is a jet
black, smooth surface, to which the
piki does not stick in baking.

READINo-RooMs FOR BLIND.

Sightless May Enjoy the Pleasures OF
Reading.
A good work never stops. Since the
Congressional library at Washington
opened reading room for the use OF
the blind-the first instance of the
kind known-its example has been
followed By public libraries here and
there throughout the country, and the
sightless are no longer deprived of the
pleasures of reading. In Washington
itself the work has widened in infiu-
ence. The afternoon reading in THE
Pavilion of the Blind" as the reading
room is called. have been wonderfully
successful. There authors and singers
have come to give pleasure by readings
and music. and the blind chaplain OF
the house frequently deyotes an after
noon to the entertainment of his COM
panions in darkness. He has a softly
modulated voice, and often repeats
poetry of a religious character. When
the Eppiscopal convention was in SEES
sion in Washington, several of the
bishops became very much interested
in this work for the blind. Bishop
Whipple and Bishop Whitehead read
twice during the week they were there,
and through their efforts and those of
Bishop Gilbert and DR.. Samuel Hart,
the prayer book was printed in The
New York Point system and placed in
the Pavilion" A very encouraging
thing is the interest manifested in the
work by the young ladies of Washing
ton. Amidst the distractions and de-
mands of society they have found time
10 minister to those less fortunate than
themselves. A committee of twenty
five have taken turns in escorting the
blind people to and from the readings
Several members of the committee
have learned the tedious system of
writing in New York Point and Braille,
and have volunteered to copy in it the
leading magazine articles and stories,
and place them on the reading-tabes
of the Pavilion. One girl writes hall
a dozen articles every month, and
binds them in little volume. which
she calls The Meteor" She Is well
repaid for her trouble by the eager
pleasure of PIE readers when the little

the Apperson place and was received
with the frosty politeness that was MIR.
Apperson's nearest approach to friend
Illness, but he never managed to see
Miss Apperson alone. She always
spoke cordially to him but there was a
reserve in her manner Bradley felt
that she regarded him as a wicked
person.
THE little Puritan" said he, after
one of these visits. "She thinks |
have horns and hoofs. I'll keep away
from her"
But he didn't He took to hunting
the roads about the Apperson place
for the mere chance Of seeing her as
she rode, attended by a pale young
man who acted as secretary to her
father. Sometimes he managed to find
an excuse to ride a short distance at
her side. The presence of the pale
young man was a bar to confidential
discourse, but when a man and maid
are so minded they can come to a
fairly good understanding without
plain speech, and Bradley began to
hope that "the little Puritan" did not
think so badly of him after all.
Whats the use, though" he
thought, II don't want to marry her
fathers daughter, and her father
wouldn't let her marry me. But she's
a bonny little Puritan"
And the next time he rode at her
side he so managed that the gray geld
ing and the cream-colored pony
crowded the pale young mans horse
out of the road and then they set off
at a pace that the pale young mans
steed could not keep.
Don't pull up" said Bradley, as
Miss Apperson started to check the
pony. 81 must say IL. Give me two
minutes. love you, and If you will

Before they parted Bradley found an
opportunity to slip curiously carved
old ring from his little finger and give
II TO Miss Apperson.
He found Mr.. Apperson next morn
ing looking colder than ever and very
thoughtful. The old man opened the
conversation. You gave my daughter
ring yesterday" he said.
Yes. sir, and asked her to marry
me. Now havs come to ask"

Islands on the Gulf.

The Galveston disaster ought tc
serve as a warming that the sand ISL
ands fringing our gulf coast, from
Florida to the Rio Grande, are not
safe in their present condition for hui
man habitation, and in great and con-
slant danger from the violent hurri-
canes which arise, from time to time
in the West Indies. Some better pro-
lection must be assured before these
islands can be settled without great
risk Of life. What that protection
should be it will be for the engineers
to say, whether breakwaters, raising
the grade of the islands, or whether
some other better means of protection
can be found. There have been sc
many disasters, too great a loss of life
and property, to continue the risk,
as we have done for years-New Or
