CHINESE USES OF FLOUR.
HostIy Consumed I'm the Form of
Dough, Vermicelli or Dump
Iinss.

In all the Chinese cities very lar; e
percentage of the population lives in a
sort of hand-to-mouth fashion, buying
food from restaurants. Hot water is
sold from stands by people who make
a business of providing it. The great
necessity for economy in fuel seems to
be the primary cause of this mode of
living. Restaurants are the greatcon-
sumers of foreign -four, says a consul
lar report.
Throughout central and southern
China very little baked bread is used,
and the flour is consumed in the form
of dough, vermicelli, or dumpings
filed with chopped meat, or meat and
vegetables, or fruit.
The flour is made into dough and
worked into leathery form by man
operating a bamboo fastened at one
end. The worker sits on the other end
of the bamboo and presses and works
the dough until il is quite tough; it
is then pressed into thin sheets and cut
into strings, boiled. and thus eaten, or
made into dumplingS and then steamed
and eaten. In nearly every case it is
eaten while hot. This foreign flour is
also used quite extensively in cakes
and Chinese confections of various
kinds.
In a great many of these restaurants
the native flour made from native
wheat is used for the inside of the
dumping and dough bread and the
finer and whittier flour is used as a COW
ering.
The Chinese appetite seems to de-
mand boiled or steamed food rather
than baked; hence. very little foreign
flour is baked into bread for Chinese

CHAPTER XIII.

After mature reflection Brown deter
mined to make every effort to rid him
self of the bonds of military servi-
tude, and as preliminary step sat
down and wrote long letter TO his
aunt telling her of his soldier life, of
Alice, and of the bright pictures he
had drawn of wandering down the
path of life hand in hand with the
beautiful companion of his choice.
He expressed his wishes that measures
might be at once set on foot looking TO
his release from army service, and
closed with expressions of warmest
love for the good aunt whose heart he
must have torn by his long silence, but
whose kind face was eycr before his
eyes, and whom he soon hoped to
greet with the embrace of son warm
est love.
In due time reply was received. and
tears coursed down the young soldiers
face as he read the tracings from the
hand of the only mother he had ever
known. The old lady, with pathetic
tenderness, spoke of the dreary years
OF waiting, each succeeding Gay ds lvn-
ing WIN bilc lOlt III ilSi hNhl eilhN u q
it had run its course it would bring her
tidings of the dear boy whom she so idol
lied. She had never doubted that he
would some day come back to her, and
that her declining years would be
cheered and gladdened by his loving
presence. She would at once consult
her attorneys and take the proper steps
to secure his restoration to society.
In words of warmest love she sent a
motherly greeting TO the dear girl
whom she had never seen, and bade
her nephew say to his chosen one that
from his description of her beauty,
grace of manner and lovely traits of
character she was already enthroned
in motherly heart which longed to
welcome her as a daughter. The letter
concluded with these lines;
IAN | possess will be yours, my dear
est Ned. When the Master calls me
from earth you will be a very wealthy
man, and in anticipation of your early
release and subsequent marriage | will
at once place you in possession Of half
of the wealth ! possess, and then you
can place your bonnie bride in the
highest circles of society, for
which her beauty, education and rare
attainments so eminently fit her."
At their next meeting the young sol
dier placed the letter in Alice's hands,
and asked her TO read it. AS her eager
eyes ran quickly over the written lines,
The Iola register., 1901-08-02

a look Of perfect peace and satisfaction
settled upon her lovely face. To her IT
seemed that the last barrier TO their
happiness was swept away by the pen
of the distant relative, and when her
eyes drank in the message of greeting
to herself, the foodgate of her soul was
opened and tears of joy fell upon the
open sheets before her.
Ned, my darling-your dear aunt
calls you Ned, and may not I?-1 al
most feel that the blessed Lord above
has taken us in hand, and will lead us
safely TO the fruition of our fondest
dreams. My beloved, am motherless,
and there is but one in whom | can
confide as ! would in a mother, Mrs.
Colby, dear, good woman who loves
me as II were her own daughter. She
discovered my love for you the day of
your release from confinement, and
told me of your love for myself. She
read it In your eyes, dear, in the tones
of our voices when the name of each
was mentioned to the other, and she 1t
was who counseled me to avoid you un-
til your true standing in life should be-
come known. She believes in you,
Ned, but prudently asked me TO not
forget that had but your own unsup-
ported statement of your social stand
ing, and that until the truth of your
story should be established must not
compromise myself by frequent meet
| ings with you. This letter will remove
every doubt from her mind. May l
| show II to her?"
"If you wish you can do so, Alice,
but the time has not yet come for the
world to hear the story, and you must
ask her to pledge her secrecy"
When Mrs. Colby reached that por-
ton of the letter referring TO Alice she
exclaimed:
"Why, Alice, has this man declared
his love for you?"
Eyes, yes, Mrs Colby; but read it all,
and will then explain"
The good woman finished the letter,
and clasping the girl to her heart in q
loving embrace, said:
my sweet child, no further eXplana-
tion is necessary. You have won the
love of a man in every way worthy oi
you, man of wealth and refinement
and every barrier to your union vii

miss Sanford, II I have been nour-

firmly taken root that It would wound
me almost to the death to pluck it out
and cast 1t away. Day by day, as the
tender, creeping vine entwines itself
more closely about the supporting oak
a,feeling of affection for you has grown
in my heart, and reason and manhood
tell me that should it be roofing there
only to wither and die beneath the
blighting frost of disappointment it
should be killed in its weaker life. My
friend, were l but an ordinary soldier
with no fair prospects in the life be-
fore me would not insult you by ask
ing you TO listen to such a confession,
but as | will some day step from the
ranks into an honored place among my

blown flower of radiant love, and
must ask you II when am restored e

Alice was trembling as a leaf shaker

cheeks. In voice all broken will
