dial Reception.

st. Petersburg. April 2O-vice- Ad-
miral Skyrdloff has arrived here on
his way to the far east. where he will
take command of the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur. He was accorded an en-
thusiastic reception by the people who
thronged the streets
The vast Znamienskaia square. op-
posite the Nicholas railroad station,
was black with people. and the police
guarding the platform were quite un-
able TO cope with the crowds, which
broke through the Gordon and rushed
towards are train. There were repeat
ed outbreaks of enthusiastic cheers as
the admiral left the car, and from the
bareheaded throng peasant stepped
out and presented Skyrdloff with a
copy of a picture entitled The Holy
Virgin of Joy to the Afflicted" which
is reputed to have miraculous power
The peasant also presented the ad-
miral with consecrated bread, telling
Skrydloff that he saluted him in the
name of the masses of Russians. all of
whose hopes depended on him as the
licio VI the huSSO- uTklSn war.
The people are convinced" added
the spokesman, that Admiral Skryd-
loft will justify the hopes of the en-
peror and the fatherland, and, like the
virgin whose picture has just been
given him, will bring joy, and that
soon, to people now afflicted"
The admiral, who was visibly af-
fected, took the picture, declaring that
he accepted it as a happy presage, and
adding that he would not part with the
picture throughout the campaign, and
that he would put all his faith in God.
A representative of the middle
classes presented the admiral with a
picture of st. Theodosius, the miracle
worker of CZerniakoff
The admiral then entered carriage
and drove off. followed by deafening
shouts of Long live Skrydloff"
On arrival at his hotel, little girl

annual meeting of the association will
be held in the worlds fair city in
stead of at Little Rock. 1t was orig

citation, but since this plan had to be
abandoned it was decided TO meet in
st. Louis. each member choosing his
own route Headquarters have been
secured within the fair grounds. and
Secretary Jobe has made liberal hotel

METHODIST UNION IN JAPAN.

Methodists are discussing plans for
the union of the work in Japan of all
bodies having Methodist policy. These
include the Methodist Episcopal, the
Methodist South, Canadian Methodist.
Methodist Protestant, the Evangeli-
cal association and the United Breth-
rem. Altogether they have 10000 com
municants in Japan, of whom the
larger part, probably 5000, belong 10
the Methodist Episcopal church. The
union plan was one of the causes
which led to the election of Bishop
Merriman c. Harris at the General
Conference last month in Los Angeles,
as he is appointed to Japan and will
at once devote his efforts to bringing
about the proposed union Should it
a policy which found expression n
be accomplished it will but carry out
the union of all Presbyterian work in
that country under the name of the
United Christian church in Japan. and
the union of the work of four Episco-
pal bodies under the name Nippon Sci
kokwai tThe Japan church,. A lead
ing cause for such church unions is
that the local work has no legal stand
ing in Japan so long as it is governed
from America or England, and nation
al organization in Japan secures Of
fetal recognition and standing.

many ways, the easiest part of the
process. Every other detail must be

ate spot of vast estate embodyins all
sorts of features Of landscape archi-
lecture. An immense and very costly
model was made which reproduced the
whole magnificent property with its
formal gardens and various other Ital-
ianate features. Given such a model
the most favorable location for the
house was easily determined. Again,
many people will remember the big
group model Of the Buffalo exposition
grounds which was used by G. Y.
Turner in designing the color decora-
tons. This covered the major part of
a large studio in New York City and
gave the decorators an opportunity to
test the various relations of color in a
thoroughly satisfactory way.
Besides these models made for prac-
tical uses a good many others are con
structed for purely exhibition pur-
poses. Thus at the St. Louis fair
this summer the model of the New
York terminal station of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad is attracting a great
deal of attention. 1t is an ambitious
construction, more than 30 feet long
and costing upwards of a thousand
dollars running foot-in all about
$4,000. Showing a. it does all the
transportation connections, even to
the subway and the tunnels under the
river, it is one of the most complete
models ever made in this country and
gives an admirable idea of how this.
the greatest railway station in the
world, will look when completed.
The usefulness of models to art
museums and archaeological collec-
tons is nothing new. Reservations of
most of the great buildings of antiquity
have been made and put ON exhibition.

The Art of BroiIino.

Few housewives understand the art
of broiling, and consequently chops
and stakes are often robbed of their
delicate flavor by frying in pan A
steak or chop properly broiled should
have a thin, well-browned crust. Be-
yond this crust the meat should be
red and juicy, hardly a shade less done
in the middle than near the surface.
If the broiling is to be done on a
range, have the fire very bright and
clear. Open every draft, that smoke
and flame may be drawn up the chin
ncy. Place the piece of meat in the
double broiler and hold it as near the
Goals as possible until the surface is
brown, turning frequently. 1t will
take three or four minutes for his.
Now raise the broiler several inches
above the bed of Goals and continue
the cooking until the meat is done.
The broiler must be turned often. A
good rule is to count ten slowly, then
turn the broiler. A steak or enop cut
little more than an inch thick will
cook nicely in ten minutes. If likeo
well done, it should be cooked for
twelve minutes.
