CHEERING NEVIS FROM CHINA,

It appears from the reports of United States enterprise is making itself felt there. The consul at Canton, MT. Me- Wade, notes that an American com- pany has applied for permission to run a line of passenger and freight steam CTS between Canton, Hengchow and Hongkong Hengchow has a popula- ton of over 1000, ,000, and is most fer tile agricultural district. Consul Will cox of Hankau reports that the Ameri- can syndicate which secured the con- cession for building the Hankau-Can- ton railroad and made a preliminary survey of the proposed route in 1899, is preparing to begin work at several points on the line. He also notes that concessions for mining gold silver, cop- per and antimony ores have been given by the board of mines to parties of Americans, French and Germans, who are at present endeavoring to develop
  their claims. The concessions are of such recent date however, that # is too early to expect returns from the properties.
 MT. McWade says that American goods have an established reputation in China, and are preferred to all other foreign articles. This is we'll appreci- ated by the Japanese, who put many cheap and inferior limitations of our products upon the market A large trade, in our goods is done by British the Chinese merchants through Hong kong. The Chinese are especially fond of novelties the wealthy classes talk

Prohibition in Kansas is now twenty one years old. The constitutional amendment went into effect May l. 1881 Kansas prohibition has prohibited in the rural and liquor-hating counties; it has signally failed to prohibit in the other counties. Yet Governor Stanley admitting this, still insists that prohibit tion has paid. There are," he says "thousands of young men in Kansas who never saw a saloon and will avoid it, if for no other reason, because 1t is under the ban of the law. There are thousands of men who would probably patronize the saloon if sanctioned by the law and conducted with State ap- proval, who avoid it and will avoid it as long as the law brands it as an Ishmaelite among the legitimate enter prises of the community. A young man with bleared eyes and bloated face in Kansas is very rare and seldom seen"

Here are examples of recent bulls" The first is the able effort of an orator denouncing capitalists: If these men were landed on an uninhabited island they wouldn't be there half an hour be- fore they would have their hands in the pockets of the naked savages." A sec ond one is: 'tAll along the untrodden paths of the future we can see the hid- den footprints of an unseen hand" A third is said to be a preachers perora- tion: we pursue the shadow the bub- ble bursts; it leaves the ashes in our hands,. A fourth is brilliant exordi- um by an English politician: We shall never rest until we see the British lion walking hand in hand with the food gates of democracy"

The year 1902 bids fair to be record one for love-making in Berlin. People are commenting upon the fact that not even the oldest inhabitants can recall such an epidemic of betrothals. During the past few weeks the demand for en- gagement rings has been simply colos- sal. One firm of jewellers alone has sold 1S,000 rings. This means 5000 engage ments, since the man wears ring in Germany as we'll as the woman. The manufacturers are working overtime to meet the demand.

Under an insurance law enacted in Germany several years ago, thirty mil lion people receive in return for nom- inal sum free medical attendance. The theory was that suffering humanity would receive cheap and effective relief from it's bodily ills. but in practice there by the State hold that they are expect ed to do too much for the pay they get. In Munich they get only about $75 per annum. In order to keep down eX- penses the doctors are inclined to im- press upon the patients that nothing is the trouble with them.

OF GENERAL INTEREST.

Statistics have proven that ninety-five
per cent of the population of any terri,
tory are troubled with cough or cold
at some time between September and
March. Also that ninety-niDe per cent
of the consumption cases have been
caused by neglect of a trifing cough.
That "trifling cough" weakens the
action Of the lungs, tears the bronchial
tubes and leaves the throat dry and sore.
The seeds of consumption then take
easily and your life is in positive danger.
When you commence to cough do not
delay one hour, use Bauer's Instant
Cough Cure at once. 1t will instantly
loosen up that tightness and heal that
soreness of the chest and will strengthen
the action of the lungs. 1t will save
you hours of torture and misery.
Bauer's Instant Cough Cure is guaran-
teed to do all this or your money will be
refunded. The following druggists will
give you a sample bottle free. F. A.

Mix one pint of flour, two level tea
spoons of baking powder, and one-half
of a teaspoon of salt. Add one and one
fourth cups of milk, three we'll beaten
egg yolks, two tablespoons of melted
butter, and the whites of the three eggs
beaten stiff. Cook them on a hot,
creased waffle-iron. Put the waffle-iron
over the fire, and there should be room
enough to swing it over. In greasing it,
put bit of clear fat pork on fork, or
put small piece of butter on a clean
cloth and rub over both griddles. The
heat will melt the butter, and let just
enough of it 60 through the cloth. Close
the griddles and turn them that the fat
may run evenly over them. Pour the
batter into the centre and let it run two
thirds of the way; when the cover is
dropped into place the mixture will
spread to the edge. Cook about one
minute on one side, then invert the
irons and cook little longer on the
other. If you are sure the iron is clean
and smooth, and thoroughly hot, you
may cook them without any greasing.
A colored cook in the South says she
never greases her waffle-iron, and have
recently found that these delicious cakes
can be perfectly baked without the an
noyance of sizzling, smoking fat. FIRE.
quently, merely the first greasing is
sufficient for the cooking of the whole

LESS THAN THIRTY CENTS.

Among the latest faddiSts are the dis
ciples of raw food diet. The following
is copy of the bill of fare of one Of
them:
acknowledgements Of pound of
hard winter wheat, an orange or an ap-
pie, half a dozen nuts, two figs, a raw
egg beaten up, and one pint of milk.
Cost, about eleven cents.
Lunch-A handful of shelled nuts and
two bananas. Cost, about four or five
cents.
Dinner-One-quarter Of pound of
wheat, an apple, celery or lettuce, posi-
bly, an egg, one pint of milk, and some
fresh cheese. Cost, about eleven cents.
There are many people who would
prefer a more generous diet and one that
includes cooked foods, even If it meant
an abbreviated life. A temperate use of
all good things is not incompatible with
health. 1t is the abuse rather than
proper use of foods that makes so much
trouble for the human family. The i'm
moderate use of raw eggs, raw apples,
fresh cheese, or nuts will cause as much
injury as the overeating of terrapin,
turkey, plum pudding, quail, or any
favorite delicacy. Good eating means
good living, and the exercise of common
sense is essential at all times. -American

So many people deprive themselves Of
this healthful vegetable, simply on &C.
count of the "horrid odor," that am
induced to send my experience, which
may possibly be new to some of ouI
readers.
If cabbage is soaked one hour in salt
and cold water, then boiled uncovered
till done, there will be scarcely any odor,
If one has never tried baked cabbage,
the following will be appreciated:
A good sized cabbage: cut in TOURS,
soak in cold water and one dessertspOon
of salt. Boil ten minutes uncovered
then drain and add a sauce made of one
cup of milk, one tablespoon of butter
one tablespoon of -four, salt and pepper
to taste. Cover with crumbs and bake
one hour.
My "Royal Cabbage Salad" is made as
follows: One level teaspoon each of salt
sugar and mustard, butter size of an egg
two beaten eggs, one-half cup of vinegar
Melt butter in double boiler; add the
dry ingredients we'll mixed, then eggs
and vinegar. Stir until it thickens, ther
add tiny speck of mace and cayenne.
Mix this, while hot, with half cabbage
chopped quite fine.
Cabbage Rouletteis easy and delicious
Any leftover bits of meat, one slice Of
bacon chopped very fine and highly sea
soned with pepper, salt, and tiny specl
of mace. Put spoonful in each tender
leaf of boiled cabbage mot Overdone)
fasten the edges of the leaf together will
toothpicks, and bake till crisp, about
one hour.
These delicate morsels are greatly en-
joyed at lunch, with some light salad.
One gets SO tired of devising ways tc
use the last ends of roast of beef, this
recipe went very we'll in hot side-disf
for supper. 1 had some boiled cabbage
left from dinner, 30 l placed slices OF
rather odds and ends of beef in thu
baker, then cabbage, then crumbs, ant
repeated till the dish was full. l turned
a tomato sauce over it and baked half ar
hour. 1t made change.

FRUIT WATERS.

Into one cup of cold sweet cream stir
three cups of Graham flour or enough
whole wheat flour to make stiff dough.
Knead it thoroughly and divide in
halves. Roll each part quite thin. On
one spread thick layer of chopped figs,
lay the other portion on top, and press
them together by rolling slightly with
the rolling pin. Cut in small squares
and bake quickly. These are nice for
the children's lunches and are more
wholesome than the rich egg and butter
cookies often given them. They may be
varied by using mixture of figs and
dates, or figs and walnuts, or figs and
prunes which have first been slightly
cooked so the stones may be removed
easily.-Mrs. Lincoln in American Kitch-

Astasia Is a nervous affection the
peculiar feature Of which Is the fact
that a person suffering from 1t cannot
stand upright. II he tries. he will be
obliged to hop and jump whenever bis
feet touch the ground. In a word, his
actions are precisely those Of person
who might be required to stand up
right on a floor composed Of redhot
Goals. Fortunately there are not many
cases Of tuis malady on record. Aka
thisia is the exact opposite Of astasia,
since a person suffering from 1t cannot
remain seated. The moment he seats
himself In a chair he Is obliged to
start up again. A person afflicted
with akathisia can walk easily. but
cannot sit. whereas person suffering
from astasia cannot stand upright and
cannot walk in the ordinary manner
owing to the contraction of his lower
limbs.
