QUEER FANc.ES in FOOD.

Odd Dishes That Are Placed Before
Guests at Fashionable Functions.
Odd food fancies are met at nearly
every house. l know a hostess who
uses rock candy for sweetening in her
afternoon tea and maraschino cherries
for flavor, one to each cup. Nobody
else brews such delicious tea, her
friends declare, and they never seem
to understand why. The rock candy
comes in neat packages Of crystal.
which are dipped up by an antique SUI
gar spoon. Another young hostess
made speciality Of cake and beverages
in which she could serve whipped
cream. She was under salary from the
proprietors Of flavoring extracts,
which they were continually booming,
and was supplied with the material,
which she demonstrated in her re-
freshments every afternoon. She was
popular girl and had instituted tea
nour before she became an advertising
agent. She was devoted to cooking,
and therein lay her value to her en-

cakes favored with it, and put it in
her tea. 1t adds most fascinating
flavor to the favorite feminine bever-
age. Then she added chocolate to her
tea outfit and used whipped cream.
The next day she changed to lemon
flavoring, then to almond and orange
and created such a degree Of interest
through her afternoons that questions
began to be poured over her. There
was her chance to speak good word
for the makers of the favors, and she
used it in such clever way that their
popularity was established without
anybody suspecting her interest in it.
You can readily see how valuable an
assistant she was.-Pittsburg Dispatch

Strange Wooin9 Of Luck.

Ever since the assassination of King

been trying to win prizes in the ma
tional lottery by playing those num-
bers which correspond with his age.

player would receive 1880 times the
amount Of his stake. Some unusually
optimistic gamblers have tried to win
even more than this by playing a
fourth number (73), which is the SYM
Dol of regicide. If this combination,
Sc, 10, 40, and 70, were to win the gov
eminent would have to pay $4,000
times the amount of the stake. The
last drawing was held in Milan a few
days ago, and, singularly enough, the
winning numbers were IS, 10, 4S and
70. These came pretty close to the
mark. and as result italian gam
blers are more determined than ever
to keep on playing their favorite CON-
bination until it brings them good
fortune.

They had bssn travelling about -.
gether ever since tho awful burglary
with It's attendant deaths OF the h0r.
glar and his victim, Neville Howard.
OF the events which had Immediately
followed, Janetta, PROSTATE in mind
and body, knew little or nothing; and
the moment 1t was possible to move
her, Doctor Drake had suggested that
she should be sent abroad with Q
nurse.
Il shall take her," Clarice had said.
Il will have serviceable maid; but
Janetta will need some one she knows
about her If she is to get WELL"
your" the Doctor had exclaimed,
half incredulously. Are you equal
to the task?"
Il am equal to anything that will
make Janetta WE'LL" Clarice had re-
piled. And the Doctor went on his
way. greatly wondering.
After all Clarice's Improvement in
health was only the fulfllment Of his
own prediction. The shock which babe
fair to wreck Janetta's life, or deprive
her Of reason, had helped her friend
to the better exercise of both. The
need for exertion had come, and in her
devotion to Janetta, Clarice had laid
aside her own weakness.
So the two started off on their trav-
els together, and by slow degrees ia
META began to rally from the awful
mental shock she had undergone; and
Clarice, in her loving care and watch
fulness. had cast aside the last traces
of invalidism, and had grown as pref
ty and animated as in the days before
her accident.
TO hear Janetta laugh was sufficient
reward for an hours amusing chatter,
and the first day she could walk a
mile the fact had to be duly chron-
icled in long letter to Doctor Drake,
who, from time to time. came out to
see how his patient prospered.
Happily these days were passed, and
Clarice, as she watched Janetta's beau
tiful face this afternoon, thought that
her task was completed. Janetta was
really as we'll and strong as ever
again, only there was that touch of
pathos about the curves Of the mouth
that told the tale of some great sor-
row. Janetta turned, conscious that
she was watched. and smiled at her
companion.
What are you thinking Of, dear?"
THAT you are as beautiful as ever,
that at last even 1 think you quite
well-well enough to go home, Janet
ia. We've wandered about so many
mon tbs that I'm homesick, and I be-
lieve T should welcome the sight of
Mrs. Mortimer's grim but worthy coun-
tenance."
LET us co." Janetta answered, after
a moments pause. II have often
thsu ght that should like to hear ev-
cry detail of the night Of the burglary.
I wonder if you would tell me about
it now as we sit here?"
Clarice glanced up quickly. BY Doc
tor brakes advice, everything that
was painful had been kept away from
Janetta.

4 HUGE DEBT FOR CHINA
Powers Fix the Indemnity at
S273,00O,o0
QUESTION OF DISTRIBUTION.
rhe Allios Are at Odds rs to tho Division
of sum-The Manner Of Raising the
Amount Is Also Under Dispute-Wsl-
dersee States His Plans.

Paris, May 3.-The amount of in
demnity China is to pay to the powers
has at last been agreed upon, but there
is much contention as to the manner in
which the enormous sum shall be
raised. The foreign office has received
dispatch from Pekin announcing that
M. Pichon, the French minister, pres
ented today the report of the commit
tee on indemnity. The amount China
is to pay has been fixed at 1855, 0O0, 900
francs ($273,0O00 O0) How it is pro-
posed that the indemnity will be dis
tributed among the powers is not set
forth. France, Germany, Russia and
Japan agree in favor Of raising the GUS
toms duties, which can be relied upon
to produce great part of the requisite
sum. and the imposition of duty on
junks, which will constitute tax on
inland navigation, and the taking over
of some Of the likin provincial transit
duties). On the other hand, the United
States and Great Britain decline to
agree to an increase of the customs
duties, but they do not appear to have
presented counter-proposition The
fact that the United States and Great
Britain have Joined hands on this ques-
ton has caused surprise here. 1t was
hoped the United States would stand
with France and Russia. The result
will be to greatly protract the negotia-
lions.
waldersee States Hts Plans.
Paris, May 3.-Field Marshal Won
Waldersee, in the letter which he sent
to the ministers today as the reply of
the generals to the views Of the min
listers regarding the military questions
discussed yesterday by the generals in
conference, says a garrison Of 5000
men should be left at Tien-Tsin and
the adjoining district, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Japan to contrib
ute 400 men each and Italy to contrib
ute 400 men. To garrison Shanghai
Kwan, France, Russia, Great Britain,
Russia and Germany are to contribute
300 men each and Italy one company
until the forts are RACED. So long as
any forces occupy Chinese territory the
foreign military commanders must ex-
ercise the full authority of civil adj
ministration, according to the principle
established at The Hague in 1899. The
Chinese may remain in office, as in the
case of Pao Ting-Fu and, partly, Tien
Tsin. Besides the 5000 men in the
Tien-Tsin district warships, which
must always be in the Pei-Ho will pre-
serve communication with the interna-
