SUGAR FROM wATERMELoNs.
Virginians Have Success in New
 Field of Saccharine Production.

virginians Have Success in New
 Field of Saccharine Production. Richmond, Va, Special.
 Sugar is being made from watermeions in York County. The operations are simple, involving little skill and only a fair amount of horse sense. As rule the ripest and best melons are selected for the purpose. The prime necessities arc a large caldron and slow but steady fire. Before igniting the furnace the kettle Is filled with fruit, care being taken to save all the juice, go as not to boil. Some persons use the entire mellon, chopped up; some use the pulp only, and others nothing but tho rind. A gentle fire soon heats the contents of kept up until the syrup is produced. The longer 1t is cooked the thicker and dark CT will the result be. It takes an enormous quantity of melons to produce even an ordinary amount of syrup, and when stewed thicS the ratio used is in- creased. "
 Just as with other syrups. it is persist ently skinned. the frothy portion being thrown away or given to the hogs. which are very fond of 1t. When cooked thor oughly the syrup Is differently colored and light like honey when the rind only selected, and dark Ca, rich anber) and de- cidediy the best when the pulp alone is used.
 The taste is rich and soft, free from any foreign taint like maple syrup, and leaves delightful flavor in the mouth. While the syrup only Is usually pro- duced it Is conceded by all who have tried the experiment that the rendering of tho sugar Is q simple matter. con tinue dbofling and evaporation only be- ing necessary.

Prince of the Royal House of China is Received by the President.
 Friendly Greetings from Orient.

Washington. April 25.--His Imperial Highness Prince Pu Lun, nephew to the Emperor of China. and his person. al representative at the St. Louis ex- position, was officially received by the President today at the White House.
 Prince Pu brought a letter to Pres- ident Roosevelt from his royal uncle Emperor Hwang Su. which was writ ten on a strip of beautifully woven silk four feet long and two feet wide. The letter, which was in a magnificent iacquered box. on the top of which was the imperial dragon of China. is as follows:
 s"rhe Emperor if China.
 ITO the President of the United States
 of America:
 ]. Greeting:
 From the commencement of China's friendly intercourse with the United States. the relations between the two countries have been growing closer and closer every day. Now the holding at tho city of St. Louis of an international exposition gives us fresh opportunity of manifesting our friendship. We have therefore specially appointed Pu Lun prince of the imperial house in the third degree, who is nearly related to us by blood. to be our commissioner to the said exposition. Our knowledge of his deep interest in commercial affairs affords us entire confidence that he will satisfac- torily discharge his duties connected with China's participation in the said ex- position.
 We have. moreover. commanded him to proceed to your national capital for the purpose of presenting this letter and conveying to your excellnecy the as- surances of our high regard. We trust that your excellency will kindly receive him and will afford him every facility to carry out the purpose of his mission to the end that great and lasting bene- fits may accrue to the commerce between the two countries.

 my and Navy.
 St. Petersburg. April 25.-General Kuro- patkin. say the highest military circules here, Is destined to become commander in-chief of all the Emperor's forces. both military and naval, in the Far East.
 Admiral Alexieff may remain there fer some little time as viceroy, but his reign is considered practically ended He win not be humiliated. but in order to effect harmonious relations way will be found to secure his elimination.
 While Alexieff and Kuropatkin are on fairly good terms, harmonious relations between Wee Admiral Skrydloh and the viceroy are considered impossible, and with the three enjoying independent com mands, 1t is realized that friction uiti- mately would be bound to arise. which might endanger successful operations. Skrydloff and Kuropatkin. on the con- trary, are warm personal friends.
 With Alexieff removed fro mthe theatre of war and view of the patent neces- sity to have a supreme commander of both the army and navy on the ground as well as to insure perfect harmony. Vice Admiral skrydloff, because of the minor role which the fleet will play. has already expressed his willingness to ac- cep the post of commander of the naval forces under General Kuropatkin as conn mander-in-chief.

FAMOUS "pEAcE MONUMENT. |"
Gibson Says This Appellation is a Misnomer.

Washington. April 25 Representative Gibson of Tennessee today introduced a joint resolution instructing the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to inquire and report as to the propriety of removing the peace monu- ment from it's place at the west front of the capitol to the National Cemetery at Arlington. or to the grounds of the naval academy at Annapolis. for the pur- pose of using the present site of the monument for the proposed monument of Abraham Lincoln.
 The resolution recites that this monu- ment was erected in memory of the of- ficers. seamen and marines of the United States navy who fell in defence of the Union and liberty of their country. 1S61- 1865; that it is popularly called the peace monument" and generally sup posed to represent the reconciliation of the NortN and South and that "this mis- homer of the monument and this per version of the purpose of its erection Is derogatory to the officers, seamen and marines in whose memory and honor 1t was erected

The School Principal Talks About
 Food.

The Principal of High School in a fourishing California city says:
 For 23 years worked in the school with only short summer vaca- tions. formed the habit of eating rapidly, masticated poorly which cou- pied with my sedentary work led to indigestion, liver trouble, lame back and rheumatism.
 Upon consulting physicians some doped me with drugs. while others prescribed dieting and sometimes got temporary relief, other times not. For 12 years I struggled along with this handicap to my work. seldom laid up but often a burden to myself with lameness and rheumatic pains.
 Two years ago I met an old friend. a physician who noticed at once my out-of health condition and who pres cribed for me an exclusive diet of Grape-Nuts milk and fruit
 l'I followed his instructions and in two months felt like new man with no more headaches. rheumatism or liver trouble and from that time to this Grape-Nuts has been my main food for morning and evening meals. am stronger and healthier than l have been Tor years without a trace of the old troubles.
 Judging from my present vigorous physical and mental state I tell my people Methuselah may yet have to take second place among the old men, for feel like will live a great many more years.
 To all this remarkable change in health. I am indebted to my wise friend and Grape-Nuts and I hope the Postum Co. will continue to rnanu- facture this life and health giving food for several centuries yet. until I move to a world where indigestion Is tIn- known Name given by Postum Co.

Great commercial benefits are expected to result from the conference.
