RIVER GODS IN CHINA.
Superstitions of the Boatmen Who Ply
on the Great Inland Waterways.
GNnW York SUM-

The Sun printed a. cable dispatch from
Pckin the other day saving that the Dow
agcr Empress had issued an cdict ordering
special sacrifices to the river god OF the
Hoang-h no as a token of gratitude for the
failure. this year, of the usual inundation
of the country bordering on the lower
part of that river.
Perhaps no superstition or ancient belief
of the Chinese has greater influence among
them than their faith that the regime of
the rivers is controlled by gods. All the
hundreds of thousands of boatnen who
live on the rivers firmly believe that the
trees and rocks on the river banks and the
rivers themselves are peopled by spirits.
some good and some evil
They believe these gods are sleepless,
sometimes rendering assistance to good
boatmen who weary not in appealing to
them for aid. but often also send adverse
winds and putting rocks in the shadows to
impede boats on their travels
When contrary wind is blowing and the
boatmcn are able to make no progress
against it they stop work altogether and
offer up a kind of prayer to the river god
to send them a favorable breeze. When
Mr. Nichols of this city was travelling
down the Han river he observed that all
the boatmen suddenly grew sullen and
morOse when questions were asked about
the progress they were making.
He insisted upon his right to talk about
the distances travelled and other features
of the journey, but the boatnen told him
that he should Keep still.
do you not understand" they said
that the evil spirits are listening to every
word you say? II they understood that
we are in hurry they would put obstacles
in orr way from sheer malice. The only
way is not to let them know what we are
doing"
When the boats anchor for the night the
crews make little bonfres of incense sticks
to propitiatc the river gods and secure
their assistance for the next days journey
The fact that their petitions are often
friIitless does not weaken their faith in
the river gods
If the winds are favorable next day It
Is simply because the deities have deigned
to hear their prayer; If the winds are con-
trary they have displeased the river gods
somehow or other and more prayers and
incense burning are requisite

THE TYPEwRITERs LUNCH.

In furnishing the Evening World with
some model menus FOR typewriters,
Miss Marie F. Giles shows how it is
easily possible for girl Wage-earners to
provide themselves with nutritious food
for twenty three cents a day. 1t is to
be observed that she. places great reli-
ance on milk and eggs and cereals, the
very best of articles for diet, but liable
by their continued use to induce the
lack of variety which often dulls the
appetite.
This is especially true of the lunch
cons, the basis of which the week
through is a pint bottle of milk, to
which are added an egg and a sand
wich, and by way of resort a banana or
a square of chocolate. A very whole
some and sustaining meal, but will
milk and eggs endlessly reiterated
prove palatable?
Why not for a change adopt an idea
from Italy suggested by the London
dietary specialist, Sir Henry Thomp-
son? He recommends a more general
use on Anglo-SaXon lunch tables of
macaroni a rItalienne and risotto a la
Milanaise Each is now chiefly procur-
able in Italian or French restaurants,
and is conspicuously absent from the
white label eating places.
The former is macaroni steWed with
stock of beef broth until tender and
seasoned with salt and pepper. TO
this grated Parnesan cheese is added
and a little butter, and over it all hot
tomato sauce is poured. 1t is a most
palatable and nutritious dish. MacarO-
nj well cooked is easily dgested and is
rich in gluten, the most valuable pro-
ted of the vegetable kingdom, since it
is easily assimilated by the human
stomach" 1t is from proteid that the
protein comes which reneWs the tissues
of the body, and without a sufficient al
loWance of which there would be star
yation 1t is most abundant in NEE
and there is some Of it in bread, bu'
not so much as in macaroni. which il
made from wheat richer In gluten.
Risotto is rice boiled with litti"
salt, q small allowance of butter, few
tablesroonfus of beef broth and n few
more of tomato sauce. In the Milan
aise style it has a little nutmeg grated
in it, and an ounce or so of Parmesan
cheese. 1t pleases the eye as it Is set
before you, and, as the butcher boy
says of the steak he cuts f0l" you, lit
eats WELL On the question of the nu-
triment in rice it is not necessary to
dwell.

hardware and leather store, his father

He was an energetic business man, ac-
tive and quite we'll known in the COM

orally known or suspected. that most Of
the Incidents related of Ulysses in that
section belonged to his brother Simp-
son. Scores Of farmers who had deal
ings with Simpson suppose they had
dealings with the general. Many who
speak of their personal contact and
conversations with the general never
saw him, but saw his brother Simpson
and dealt with him only. This mistake
of identity has prevailed to a consider
able extent in the city of Galena itself,
as we'll as throughout the country.
Ulysses was in Galena but short
time and saw few people and made few
acquaistanceS, as his place in the store
was not in the sales or trading depart
ment, but in the counting-room, as he
was book-keeper. He and his brother
Simpson left the community about the
same time. This strengthened the i'm
preston of those who knew only one of
the brothers, that they had known the
general The same season that Ulysses
went into the army his brother Simp-
son left business through falling health.
He went to the home of his father In

weeks under the care of DR.. COmekys,

health, and, somewhat later in that
