CHINESE DUPLICITY.
MOngOIians as a Rule Have But Little
Regard for the Keeping of
Their Word.

A South Sea islander said of his race,
GAS soon as we open our mouths
lie is born" The Chinese acknowl-
edge without shame the same of them
selves. 1t may be true among west
ern nations that "the affairs of life
hinge upon confidence" but in the
east, especially in China, they hinge
upon suspicion. There are few Chi
nese who attach any Importance to
keeping an engagement. Most of them
are like the man who, being accused
of breaking his promise, replied that
it was of no consequence, as he could
make another just as good. The Chi
nese say that one should never re-
fuse request in an abrupt manner;
on the contrary, he should grant ii
in form, although with no intention
to do so in substance. Put him off
till tomorrow and then until another
tomorrow. Thus you comfort his
heart" they say,

A PUPpY'S RAPID GROWTH.
Oevours Mrs.. New1y-Wed's Bread
Dough and becomes a Bloated
M0nntrosity.

A few months ago young man
who is employed in one of the rail-
road offices of this city bought very
small pointer pup. The dog grew
steadily, but mainly in the head and
legs, having no body to speak Of,
relates the Portland Oregonian. The
lady Of the household, like many
newly married women, was making a
thorough test of her husbands di-
gestive powers by baking bread for
the family. The pointer pup was now
taking on the appearance of a genu-
inc dog, and put in most of his time
looking for something to eat. He
found just what he was looking for.
Mrs. Newly-Wed had placed a pan
containing three loaves in the state
of dough under the kitchen stove
and had gone upstairs for few min
utes. Like many new bread-makers,
she was generous in the use of yeast,
and her bread was usually lighter
than i. sponge. When she returned
the dough had been transferred from
the pan to the interior of the point
er, who was already showing signs
of distress. The yeast was getting
in it's deadly work., and gradually
the dogs body began to swell. The
head, which had formerly been the
most prominent feature of his make
up, was quite eclipsed beside the
bursting body. The legs looked like
toothpicks supporting a beer key.
The poor pointer was now writing
in agony, and after several neighbors
had proposed various strenuous
measures, an application of saleratus
water brought relief.

be kept alive in the minds of the peo-
pie it is divided into as many peri

The Success of De Blovits.


The secret of the marvellous success
of NJ. de Blowitz as Paris correspond
ent of the London Times is said to
have been due to the absolute and com
plete confidence with which he inspr-
ed the statesmen, the politicians and
the diplomats with whom he was
brought in contact and which he never
betrayed. They all felt that they could
depend absolutely on his discretion. no
matter how great the temptation from
o journalistic point of view to do other
wise
When the Duke Decazes while play
ing billiards at the Quai d'Orsay after
dinner one evening suddenly received
the news of the purchase by the Brit
ish government of the khedive's stock
in the Suez Canal company and, wild
with rage, broke forth into frantic
threats against the English govern
ment, charging NJ. de Blowitz to make
known his Indignation and the fact
that he was bent on retaliation, the
correspondent of The Times, who had
been one of the party present, although
he saw the value of the news, made
no use of it.
The next day he met the duke, who
had recovered his senses and who,
grasping him by both hands, excIaim-
have done for us. You have sacrificed
journalistic success to your sense of
duty and to the cause of peace"

MAKING BONELESS HAMS.
HOusekeepers NAY Do 1t ms Well rs n
Professional Butcher.

HOusekeepers May Do 1t ms Well rs n
Professional Butcher.
Little though one may think, the
process OIL making boneleSS ham is
quite a fine art and one that requires
no small degree Of skill In the under
taking. In fact, 1t is not every one
who can bone a ham successfully.
In the event housekeeper unfamiliar
with the art of removing the bone
from hams were to undertake the job
she would be almost certain to begin
operations by first of all splitting the
ham open and endeavoring to carve out
the bone by cutting around 1t. The re-
suit would be failure and yeXation of
the worst sort to say nothing of ruin
ed ham. The proper way to remove
the bone would never suggest itself to
the average housekeeper.
The operator stands the ham on end
against a supporting block and pro
ceeds to carve around the bone from
one end as deep as it is possible for
him to run his hand and knife down
into the flesh and around the bone.
Having reached the extreme limit (as
lar, Ill ldCl, as II lS pOSSiDle " eAteili
the knfe) he reverSes the ham and
begins cutting around the bone from
the other end, cutting downward until
he reaches the point that he attained
in cutting from the end on which he
began, the entire operation being sci
entifically correct and on the principle
of skinning an animal. The bone then
slips out clear and smooth, free from
any adhering flesh.
AS soon as this is done stout twine is
wrapped around the ham and drawn
taut, completely closing the aperture
left by the removal of the bone. The
twine is thus made fast and the ham
laid away for day or two, at the end
of which time the hole has closed so
neatly that, in slicing the ham, IL is
difficult to determine the exact spot
from which the bone was removed.
This Is the proper mode of making
boneless ham, and with a little prac-
tice any housekeeper can learn to do
the work as well as professional
butcher. They will observe that first
of all the bone is surrounded by tis-
sue, and by starting the operation from
the ends they will be surprised with
what facility this tissue dividing the
bone from the flesh, peels loose from
the former.

Well Bred Children.

The hallmark of good breeding is
self possession and that should be
learned early in life. 1t can be taught
to very young children, but not by Civ
ing them free rein. A child is natu-
rally composed. Circumstances and
surroundings make him awkward and
self conscious. There are homes with
out number where the children are well
bred and happy on an income that is
ptiably small. They have no luXuries,
but that does not mean that they may
not have them in the future, and surely
no access of worldly wealth would ever
place them at a disadvantage. The sim
pie home life is as refined as you could
possibly wish it, and the children are
being fitted for any station the future
may have in store for them. l do not
suppose that the parents expect to see
n son in the presidential chair or a
daughter occupying the position of first
lady in the land, but they do expect
honorable positions are awaiting them
If they choose to work for them.

fact that there is little chance for it's
becoming a law at this session of con-

from protectionist, is the entering
wedge of free trade. 1t marks the
beginning of the end of the high tariff
system. Mr.. Mckinley recognized the
