WHOLESOME SALADS.
Rules for the Guidance of Those In
initiated Into the Art of Pre-
pairing Them.

To dress a salad, put the lettuce,
chicory or whatever vegetable is to be
used, perfectly washed, dried, chilled
and with each leaf separated, into 4
salad bowl large enough to hold it
without bruising the crisp leaflets. 1t
a large glass bowl can be provided it
adds much to the beauty of a salad,
says Good Housekeeping. Serve on
silver tray with the oil and vinegar
cruets, salt and pepper and salad
fork and spoon.
Always remember one rule; the oil
must be poured first on the salad! 1t
the leaves are first wet with the vine
gar. the oil will not adhere but run to
the bottom of the bowl, making salad
which tastes only Of vinegar, pepper
and salt. For this same reason the let
tuce must be perfectly dry; if wet the
oil will not coat it properly Set the
lettuce or chickory in bowl looking
as if the head were still entire but with
each leaf separated. Hold salad spoon
over the bowl; into it shake some pep
per and salt, then fill the spoon with
oil. Allow this to sprinkle over the let
tuce; toss the leaves lightly till they
shine. Add two more tablespoonfuls
of oil, tossing again with gentle hand
ling. Run the spoon and fork down the
sides of the dish and lift the salad with
an upward movement, letting it mix as
it falls back. Afterward, sprinkle with
two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, then
serve. The proportions of oil and vine
gar may be varied to- suit the taste.
Four parts of oil to one of vinegar
is liked by lovers of oil.
A very delicate flavor may beimpart-
ed to a plain green salad by rubbing
the inside of the salad bowl with half a
cut onion or sprinkling the lettuce
with finely cut chives. If the faintest
possible flavor of garlic is liked make
what the French call chapon. Rub a
cut garlic over cube of stale bread
and toss it with the salad while dress
ing it.

PATS FIRST THOUGHT.
That tho Horses Ought to Be Able to
Outrun the Stage, and He Made
Them Do 1t.

Back in the good old days when
nerves and railroads were little known,
an old stage road ran from Lake
Champlain to Ogdensburg, N. Y, pass
ing through the little town of Sodom.
This village nestled in valley between
two great hills, over which the white
ribbon of the road wound steeply, says
Lippincott's.
Upon one of the trips of the stage
the regular driver, who had been at
home for some weeks recovering from
an illness, was riding inside while the
red-haired. mild-featured, big-boned
Irishman acting as his substitute occu-
pied the drivers seat upon the box.
The day was beautiful one and the
passengers were enjoying their drive
keenly, their appetities increasing as
the distance lessened between them
and the town of Sodom with it's prom
Used pause for refreshment.
Suddenly, as the heavy stage lum-
bered over the brow of the hill, down
which the road plunged at sharp
angle, running through the little town
at it's foot and ascending the hill be-
yond, the passengers became conscious
that their pace had been recklessly in
creased. Faster and faster they went,
dashing down the hill at rate rapidly
becoming a furious one. Trees and
bushes at last became but dizzying
blur along the road. All chung to the
reeling stage and held their breath in
teSrior, while on the stage raced, down
the hill with ever-increasing speed, into
the town, past the hostelry with the
waiting host left standing in amaze
at the door, past the post office with
out pause, and out upon the road lead
ing up the face of the hill beyond.
There the pace slackened, and as the in
cline grew more steep, at last the
smoking horses came to a standstill.
With one accord the dazed passengers
tumbled out and surrounded the driv-
er, who now stood at the head of his
reeking leaders.
"What is it, Pat? What is it? Did
they get away from you?" came the
breathless questions.
"Nope," replied Pat with a set face,
'it wor that" pointing grimly before
him. There lay the stage-tongue
dragging uselessly on the ground at
the heels of the horses, and completely
severed from the coach. At glance
the regular driver comprehended the
meaning of the danger to which the
passengers of that stage, deprived OF
its sole means of guidance, had been
exposed, and. realizing the miracle OF
their escape, he turned sick and tainted
where he stood.
Later, back at the inn, when the ex-
element had somewhat subsidized and
fresh horses were being put to the re-
paired coach, someone turned to Pat
and asked:
"Pat. what was your first thought
when the pole dropped?"

the quid more comfortably in his

Waking Francois.

The name of Millet, the painter,
has been made familiar to many be-
sides art students by. his ''Angelus."
How the genius of the artist was
reused and encouraged is told in his
recent biography: =
The most original person of the
family and the one who had the most
influence upon Millet was his grand
mother. She was an old country
woman of intense religious faith, hy-
ing in God, seeing everything in God,
and mingling God in every scene of
nature and every act of life.
One of Millet's earliest recollec-
tons was of his grandmother wax
ing him when he was quite little
child and saying to him:
up, my little Francois! If you
only knew what long time the birds
have been singing the glory of God!"
When he had to leave home to go to
Paris his grandmother said: 81
would rather see you dead than un-
faithful to Gods commands"
At later time, when ne had begun
to make his way in Paris, she re-
minded him again:
Remember, my Francois, that YOU
were a Christian before you were a
painter. Paint for eternity, and
think that the trump which will call
to judgment is on the eve of sound.

There was a hurried movement on the
part of the sentry in the corridor, followed
by the trampling of many feet; sabers
clanked. voices broke the stiffness. Fanny
Glen was really frightened now They were
coming. They were there. What were they
about to do to herr OF course they would
not shoot her-she was reasonably sure of
that-but in any event she was certain to
be parted from her lover. She drew nearer
to him as the door was opened.
On the threshold stood Gen. Beauregard
himself his visage charged with an un-
usual degree of solemnity. Back Of him
were grouped the members of his staff and
others who had been on the wharf the night
before. They were all In full uniform and
made a most impressive sight. 1t was q
highly dramatic moment, full of menace to
the women. AS for Sempland. he scarcely
comprehended it,

Our connections with Japan and China
are steadily improving. When I first
crossed the Pacific about fourteen years
ago, there were only two steamship lines.
There are now about five times that many
and two of the lines belong to the Japa-
nese. You can get ships from San Fran
cisco. Portland, Tacoma and Vancouver
for Yokohama, Shanghai and Hongkong,
and there are also steamers from San Diego,
Cal, sailing at irregular intervals to the

their first voyages across the Pacific. These
are the Minnesota and Dakota, built by
the Great Northern railroad to accommo-
date it's trans-Pacific trade They have
each a displacement of $4,000 tons, and
can carry 2S0,000 barrels of flour. The
Dakota is 14OO0 tons bigger than the Great
Eastern and 10000 tons bigger than the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. The ships
are go feet long, 73 feet wide and 56 feet
deep. Each has accommodations for 5000
passengers, including the crew. They will
travel to Asia by the shortest route, which
is that from Puget sound to japan, and
will make the best time across the Pacific.

The Yankees in Japan.
The Japanese are now among our best
customers. They had practically no foreign
trade generation ago. but they now buy
and sell to the extent of half billion dol
lars a year. Their purchases of foreign
goods amount to $50 millions. and one
seventh of them come from the United
States. British India sells Japan as much
as we do and Great Britain more Ger
many and China rank about even, but both
are far behind the United States.
During a visit to Tokyo some years ago
I talked with the premier, Count Ito, about
the chances for American enterprises there.
He said that the trade with the United
States would increase and suggested that
Americans should establish factories in
Japan to supply the Chinese market. He
said that property would be safer there
than in China and that the labor could be
handled much better. AS an evidence of
the growth Of manufacturing he said that
twenty years ago the Japanese spinning
was all done on old fashioned wheels and
by hand. 1t is now performed with the
best of modern machinery
Japan has now sixty cotton mills in
which seventy thousand hands are en-
ployed. There are more than $4,000 wo-
men at work in the factories. large num-
ber Of machine shops have been established
and all sorts of work is done In iron and
steel
The Japanese make their own war ma
terials. They have their own navy yards
and railroad shops. They buy our pneu-

have the preference: There is no reason
why we should not capture that market as
well. Indeed 1T would pay the owners of
our cotton mills to send agents to China
TO study the wants of the people
Within the past few years the Chinese
have been spinning and weaving all sorts
OF cloth. There are now more than four
great cotton mills in the country which
make about sixty million pounds of cotton
annually. Some of these mills are at Shang-
ha1 They are equipped with machinery as
good as our own. They have foreign man
ayers, but the workmen are all natives,
who are paid but a few cents day.

that the road can be built for thirty million
dollars.
An extension of this line owned by the
Belgians is projected from Hankow to

a number of other roads planned or in

for steel rails and all sorts of railway ma
terials will be great. Millions of ties are
