Onions for the Nervous.

Onions eaten raw, with bread and but
ter, make a capital complexion clearer
and nightcap, especially for the nervous
person, who is generally inclined to lay
awake O. nights and to wake up at dis
~hearteningly early hours of the MORN
ing. Slice the onions thin and sprinkle
lightly with salt to take off the raw,
crude taste, and have the bread thin and
a good deal of butter. Talking of nerv-
BUSINESS, there is no better nerve food
than good butter.

Mr.. W. W. Baker of Plainview, Neb.,
writes: "My wife had lnng trouble for
over fifteen years. We tried a number OF
doctors and spent over a thousand dol

which l did; and thanks be to this great
remedy, it saved her life. ehe is strong

artillery to the small forts at the mouth
of the Liao river has the appearance
OF an intention to defend YinkoW, Nthe
military authorities depend upon an
inland engagement to put a stop to the
Japanese advance.
AS far as is yet known the only plans
decided upon are. first, that General
K~uropatkin's headquarters are to be
at. Mukden; Viceroy Alexeieff proposes
to remain at Mukden indefinitely, as
that city is the center Of the Chinese
administration and has a viceroyal bu-
reau; second, that the plain west of
T~ashihchiac, which is almost impossi-
bic of defense, will be held if possible
on account of the railroad connecting
with Port Arthur. and, third, Haiehing
and Liaoyang are the extreme limits to
which troops will be withdrawn on ac-
count of the exposure of the railroad at
these points.
That the Japanese will arrive before
q thaw permits the construction of de-
lenses is thought here to be practically
certain. 1t would appear also that the
authorities expect Port Arthur to be
besieged.
st. Petersburg advices say that since
the disappearance of the Japanese
feet from before Port Arthur the Rus
sian authorities have been awaiting
a~nxiously for the next move of the
Japanese on sea. There is an inclina-
ton here to believe that the japanese
have been discouraged by the failure
of their attacks and perhaps by losses
they have not announced.
The Japanese, according to General
Plug, have gone to a point whence a
mountain pass leads to the headwaters
of the Yalu, eighty miles from Vladi-
vostok. Marching in that mountain
Gus region is declared by experts here
to be almost impossible.
A report from Seoul says the Rus
sian forces at Anju are compelling the
Koreans to supply them with rice, fod-
der and fuel. The Russians are forti.
flying Antung heavily, with the appar
ent intention Of preventing the Japa.
rose from crossing the Yalu.

The San Francisco call., 1904-07-09

Miss Lee Kue, Chinese cattle queen
Of Arizona, is in town. She arrived
unostenta tiously and has taken up her
abode in the Chinese quarter. AS yet
she has not shot out the lights of the
district nor has she attempted to dec
crate it with carmine streak after
the custom Of cattle queens Of five
cent fiction. Miss Lee kue is a most
peaceable and refined cowgirl. She left
her shooting irons at home near Phoe-
nix. Arizona.
She is here on her way to China as
an escort to the ashes of her father,
who died several years ago and must,
according to custom, be buried in the
Flowery Kingdom. While Lee Kue is
thousands of years ahead of her own
race, she still clings TO some of it's ira
ditions. Therefore her fathers last
wish will be religiously carried out.
Since she was fifteen, Lee Kue has
had full charge of her fathers ranch,
which brings an annual income of $10,-
600. Every detail of its working was
managed by her. With a staff of ad-
miring cowboys she superintended the
branding and the rounding up and she
rode with her own herds into Phoe-
nix.
Her life contrasted almost grotesque-
ly with that of her sisters here and in
China. While they seldom saw even
the little corners of the world in which
they lived, all Arizona was Lee Kue's
to wander over. Her sisters covered
