serving. But even here the classic dish of New England, that graces every din CT table of the genuine Yankee 52 Sun days in the year, was not among them nor any substitute half so good. left that feast hungry.
 Peas not much different from the American article, are grown in quan- titles. passed scores of houses to-day where the peas were being dried in tn e sun upon the threshing floors. They are too expensive for a regular diet. but they are one of the necessary luxuries of even the poor villagers for holidays, guests and feasts.
 But the great staple food of the poor est people of South China is none of the cereals. What the Irish potato is to the peasantry of the land of the Shamrock the sweet potato is to the Chinese peasant.
 Do the people of this region eat rice?'' l asked to-day of an intelligent man, with whom 1 was crossing in a rickety old ferry boat from small island to the main land
 No, not one in thousand unless he is sick. These people cannot afford S't' U iuAulN. .o"CCl pOldlOSS cost udl1 or less, and the people here who have been brought up to eat them prefer them to rice"
 Az ws passed along the foot of the granite hills. with little patches of terraced fields clinging to their sides wherever possible to make them, and the earth carried to them by these pa tlent children of poverty and toll, could easily see why the people along >his coast could not afford to eat rice They must eat what their fields can pro- duce.
 Their sweet potatoes are more wstery and stringy than our American tupers, but they are by no means q poor substitute. But they connot be kept more than four months without drying them. so that nearly all of the crop is cut up into thin slices at once upon digging, and dried first for about two days upon the field from which it is dug, then for three or four days spread thickly upon the threshing floors. Taste for this diet must be cultivated long and steadily, and I note that it is easily lost by those who move to re- zion where rice is the common diet, or when they eat at another's expense. The people feed their pigs upon the poorest of these potatoes. But often there is little if any difference between the food of the family and that of the family pig. It is all cooked in the same pot, and dished up at the same time You never find Chinese farmer so shiftless, so ignorant, or so uiscientific as to feed his pig raw food. He knows what the American farmer has been very slow to learn, that it pays to cook food for animals as we'll as man. WILLIAM N. BREWSTER,

"PAPA'S WIFE"

There was another outpourlnS or lovers of good theatrical attractions last night at Polls theater and While the number present was not as large as that of the evening previous when David Harum' was presented il was an unusually big one. Anna Held nas been seen here before in the "French Maid," and while she did not give the best of satisfaction, she demonstrated very clearly by her work of last night that she is improving in many things that go to make up q successful star. She talked and sung more distinctly and in almost every particular gave general satisfaction. Her costumes were the WOrk or an artist and loaded down with gems as she was, she presented picture Of beauty. In fact Miss Held has sur rounded herself with every attractive merit and that she did so last night is unuuestioned The ladies of the chorus were beautiful. perhaps as pretty as any chorus that has appear ed here this season. They sung well. too, and added to the pretty pictures presented in the three acts and they pleased immensely. The funmakers of the cast, however. was our old friend Charles A. Bigelow. It does seem as if he never would get tired of creating new nONeltleS Ill Ine humorous line and if he had continued very much longer last night he would have most of the audience in a bad way from too much laughter. One look at his face was enough to create d laugh and when that face was worked into all conceivable shapes and he added q few of his witty sayings the people hugged themselves to keep from shouting outright in convulsive laugh ter. One of the most amusing scenes was ill the second act where he at tenpts to carry the inaninate form of Corale Miss Adella Barker) to the balcony. This lady is not a light weight and as she faints and crushes the slender form of Bige1ow in the character of Celectin. the music teacher. to the floor it was inde- scribably funny. His attempts to arise and the absurd dressing of the Iady'S hair convulsed everybody and it is one of the funniest scenes that was ever enacted on a stage. Through out the whole performance he created 10 end of fun and it is very fortunate that Miss Held possesses this clever comedian. The stage settings were new. neat and very well conceived and the performance was deserving of all the praise that was given it.

Primitive Methods of Milling Pro- duce Flour Unfit for Consump- tion-Sweet Potatoes Are

Especial Hinghua (China) Letter1

N1HEAT is grown in North China it is the great staple food Of the people. In the great Yangste val ley rice takes it's place almost entire Fuhkien province down, wheat is grown as a winter crop. It is sown in November and harvested in April. I write upon a boat being poled and t1oated down a shallow river; on it's banks are fields of ripening wheat. It is curious sight to the western traveller to see wheat harvest early in April. This region is in the lati- tude of America's new possessions ill the semi-tropics. and there is every reason to think that it would make a winter crop in Porto Rico and Cuba. The Chinese gather from 12 to IS bushels Der acre. And this is off of fields that produce two other crops during the year.
 The first thing that strikes the for eigner in looking at a lot of Chinese wheat is the astonishing amount of , dirt in it. It reminds me of the ''rak- | ings" off of my grandfather's Ohio farm in the Little Miami valley, that We had tramped out upon the barn floor and winnowed with hand mill. Clods of earth, pieces of brick, sticks, stones and sand are mixed with the grain in quantities greater or less. de- pendent upon the skill or honesty, or both. of the farmer, and the dealers who have handled it. The vicious GUS tom of deliberately mixing dirt with grain o increase it's weight is a char acteristic of oriental business econ omy.
 The milling of this dirty wheat is as primitive as erything else in the line of Chinese manufacturing. Wher- ever possible water power is employed. The stones are of ordinary gray gran ite three or four feet in diameter. | The lower stone is stationary; the upper one slowly revolves with wood- en cogs, the two faces of the rough

In most of the cities where this crack HighlanderS band has played the houses have been packed to overhowing. and Waterbury will be only following the example of other cities if Polls is packed this evening.

 populated must consume all it can pro-
 duce, whether it is paIatable and
 nealthful or not.
 However, the flour Is not made into
 bread A small per cent. of it is made
 into small sweet cakes and sold to trav
 elers on thoroughfar But probably
 at least 90 per cent. of Chinese flour in
 South China is made into vermiceii.
 This is made simply of flour with mixed
 water and little salt, and drawn out
 into long strings. It is cooked by put
 ting into water already boiling, and
 boiling it for five minutes. To the un-
 initiated foreigner it is by no means pal
 atable or digestible. It has this ad-
 vantage: It can be eaten by swallow
 ing almost without chewing. This
 avoids the unpleasant sensation of grit
 that is experienced in eating bread or
 cakes, if the flour is not clean. It is
 proba ble that ever-in creasing importa-
 tion of American flour from the Pa cific coast will in time make marked change in the flour of China, and in the manner of consumption. American flour is now being brought to China by the shipload, and with the clean white article available the people will soon
 learn to despise their native product. It will be used more for cakes and bread of various kinds, and the sup ply will create Il demand for a good quality of flour. With the opening of the country that is certain within the
 next few years it is altogether prob able that these crude and wasteful methods of making flour will be grad ually done away with, and the ways
 of preparing it for food will likely be modified to more hea,thful and pal atable forms.
 Barley is used in South China in large
 quantities, but mostly for pig food. Very poor people grind their barley by hand, roughly bolt with a sieve. and make a mush of it. It is simply hot
 paste of very coarse quality. How anyone can satisfy hunger with such
 a mess it is difficult to understand. suspect they do not-they only keep from dying.
 Beans are a great staple food in China. They are grown in great va riety and quantity. At least eight diff ferent varieties are grown here in this one county. But with all these We i must still order our Boston beans from San Francisco or Chicago. l was once guest at a feast where there were a mum Der of vegetarians, and out of cour- tesy to them our host had prepared ! only vegetable dishes. At least one half of the IS courses were beans of various kinds and in various styles of

disadvantage of this to dealers and consumers is manifest. It can only be ground for immediate use, and must be sold. even at loss, as soon $ nilled.
 When water power is not availa ble a cow is substituted. No gearing is used. The COW is hitched to a sweep, and the stone turns as fast as the cow walks. The cows are used alter nately, and one man will grind about five bushels in a day of l2 hours The grinding is done nine or ten times: and after each grinding it is bolted through q flat silk bolting cloth, worked from side to side by treadle.
 The grinding and bolting is contin- ued until the bran weighs only 20 per cent. of the original grain. Of course by this time all the shorts and mid diings are ground up in the flour, along with some two CT three per cent. of stone and sand; and with fouY or five per cent. of water the Chinese miller turns out a mess that is not fit for man to eat. He eats it, though. He can- not help himself. A country so densely

stones grinding the grain and each other into flour. To clean the wheat it is washed in tub by being pushed around in the water by hand and dipped out in a perforated dipper. The mud dissolves, and the heavy stones and pieces of tile sink to the bottom; part of the sand also sinks, but a good deal of it is ground up with the flour, which, with the grind ing off of the mill stones, makes the ordinary Chinese flour fit only for pig feed.
 After washing the wheat is only par tially dried. It must be damp in or der to grind with such crude meth ods. Consequently the flour must be used within ten days or it will be fit for nothing but to make paste. The
