Chinese and American Food.

The food the Chinese eat is relished
by many Americans. 1t is generally
cooked in a clearly manner, and only
choice meats, cut in small pieces, are
used in it-pork, beef and breast of
chicken and duck, with such delicate
vegetables as young bamboo, mush-
rooms, celery and water nuts. Chi
nese food is, however, very rich and
heavy, and Americans rarely eat it
except at night The Chinaman's
breakfast in America is very much
like what the Americans breakfast is.
1t generally consists of coffee, bread,
eggs and ham. After breakfast the
Chinese-American eats Chinese food,
but for the morning meal he cannot
stand his own cooking.-Philadelphia

Strange to say, the child lived and
fattened under the care Of the old
man. Day times he rolled on the
dirty floor Of Mrs. Flaherty's kitchen
with little Dan and NANCY dog that
belonged to the children. At night
he returned to the one spotless room,
where he cuddled and cooed in the
old mans arms and brought his In.

She wanted dashing hat for the
mountain resort to which she was
going, and her money was all but
spent. So she bought picture shape
of a tawny lace straw, rather an odd
looking thing by reason of its color.
She trimmed it with small fiame-col-
ored ostrich tips, and the result was
a picturesque, dashing chapeau. The
feathers completely encircled the low
crown, and there was no other trim
ming. 1t was novel and individual,
and strikingly topped off white, black,
and linen color gowns.

"Old Jim"

There was a cry outside the door
Jim flung it open roughly and
listened, stick concealed in the hand
behind his back. No step on the
rickety tenement stairs, no derisive
laughter greeted his ear. What was
it? He peered into the semi-twilight
from under his shaggy gray eyebrows.
Again a shrill cry, this time from the
corner of the landing. A kitten in a
bundle Of rags! He stopped to pick
1t up, two little hands flew up. and a
baby cooed in his face.
Old Jim, derisively known as the
"Old Crank" had once been young
and even good-looking; but an acct
dent in the foundry had settled all
that, and the death Of his mother had
left him alone to grow hard and sus-
picious and often irascible from an
aching spine. Hence his one little
room, at the top of the third long
flight of stairs, became his den, from
which he emerged to growl, under
provocation or without, at the numer-

In fact, he had more than once been
heard to say that If more kittens were
kept and more children were
drowned the world would be better
off; whereby he earned the enmity
Of the mothers in the tenement. 1t
was the very irony Of fate that
brought the helpless baby to his door.
/. The innocent babe, delighted to be
held, smiled and cooed and waved
its aimless hands. Old Jim. poking 1t
cautiously to see If a note Of explana-
ton was attached-for he had heard
Of such things-was astonished to
have his finger grasped firmly in the
tiny wandering baby fingers. So lit
tie, so soft, and yet so strong the
clasp ran up the old mans arm and
settled around his heart. The baby
gurgled softly. That was enough. The
old man looked cautiously down the
hall to be sure that no one was grin
ming at him, stepped back into his
room and closed the door.
Mrs. Flaherty on the floor below
had five small children and large
motherly heart; and it was to her
that Jim went that night, after tho
children were all out playing on the
sidewalk, to ask advice on the food
for the baby, and If she would sell
him some clothes.
"Sell ye some clothes? Faith, I'd
give 'em to ye gladly, If 1t wasn't

"How can tell about that, Mrs.

"One morning, at the agonizing hour

by a most unearthly baby yelling and
