teaspoonful of sugar, add a little
water, put on the fire until it becomes
a deep brown. Add this to the soup,

halves, lengthwise. Scoop out the in
sides, and mash with little cream,
melted butter and salf and white pep

Appetizing Desserts.

Medium-sized apples cooked whole
until transparent are an extremely
tempting dish. Core and pare one-haf
dozea apples of medium size. Drop
these into syrup made from a cup OF
water and half a cup of sugar, to
which are added few slivers Of lem
on peel. Drop the apples into this,
and directly they come to boil shove
th. pan to the back Of the stove and
allow them to cook without a cover
until clear and tender. If a cover Is
placed over them they will break into
the mushiest of apple sauce. Try them
at intervals with clean straw or
wooden toothpick, and be careful not
to cook them too long. Serve ice cold
with plain or whipped cream. and
sponge cake is delicate accompan1'
ment.

Most Important Feature Of Treaty
Between Japan and China
In Relation to Manchuria.

In Relation to Mancturia.
A Washington special says some
important details of the treaty be-
tween Japan and China signed few
days ago at Pekin have reached the
state department by cable. China con-
sents to lease to Japan the Lao Tung
peninsula at the southern extremity
Of which is Port Arthur and Dalny.
This territory was formerly held by
Russia under lease from China China
comedies to Japan the control Of the
railway Of the peninsula northward as,
far as Chang Chin. This Is one OF the
spurs which connects with the Rus
sian Siberian railway system.
China also comedies to Japan the,
right to build railway from An-Tung,
on the Yalu river to Mukden, the an
cient capital Of Manchuria, probably
along the route Of the famous old mil
itary or caravan road.
Most important of all the proEisions
of the treaty is an article whereby
China agrees to open to worlds come:
merce and trade all principle ports;
and cities, including Harbin, the mod
ern Russian capital OF the provinces.
and its important railroad centers
thus increasing, in the opinion Of the:
state department officials, the fnan-
cial success Of the long struggle by.

A WAR IN MOSCOW
Desperate and Deadly Battle
Between Troops and Rebels.
THOUSANDS ARE SLAIN
One Report Places Number Of
Victims at 5000 and the
Wounded at 1900
Scenes of Horror.

The correspondent Of The London
Daily Telegraph at st. Petersburg, in
a dispatch dated at GAS p. M, Decem-
her Is, says:
"At an early hour this morning the
casualties at Moscow were estimated
at 5000 killed and $4,000 wounded,
with the fighting still proceeding.
1.-The inhabitarSs OF Moscow have
been forbidden to leave their dwell
ings after seven o'clock in the eve
ming.
1T is impossible to move about the
city on account of the frequency Of
stray bullets. Many innocent persons
have been accidentally killed.
The same correspondent, telegraph
ing at 1898. p. m, says:
H"The Moscow correspondents tele-
grams have net been accepted be-
cause ali private messages we're re-
fused this afternoon. It Is learned,
however, that cannon firing Is now
proceeding in various parts Of the
city tonight very near the railroad
stations. The barricades erected by
the reyolutionists are being desperate
ly defended.
From fragmentary. accounts re-
ceived from Moscow, gather that
the civil war has brought no decisive
action, but only thickening Of the
blood cloud, an intensifying of the
horrors and increasing Of prevailing
bitterness.
"The driving forces behind both the
troops and the rebels is no longer that
of enthusiasm or of any human i'm
pulse. It is the force Of superhuman
hate, and hence the deeds reported
are not the acts of patriots, soldiers
or otherwise, but the enormities OF
madmen.
1T is impossible to understand how
any emotion, even Of the extremes u
despair or hate, can impart such fool
hardy courage as some OF the rebels
display.
For every barr1cade destroyed
Sunday, two or three appeared in other
places. Orders were given by the rev.
olution1sts to shoot only when there
was good hope Of bringing a MAJ.
down, but otherwise to tire out the
troops until they lost patience.
I'm the meantime In their houses,
the bulk Of the population covers In
the inmost recesses Of kitchens and
cellars, stricken with fear and trem-
bling at every boom Of the cannon or
the explosion of bomb.
"The most surprising thing Of all fs
the loyalty of the, troops, which no.
body here anticipated.
Talking with an intelligent group OF
st. Petersburg revolutionists ] was
informed that while they believed the
strike would, be victorious, they fully
realized that they were stalking every
thing upon the Issue and that failure
would set back their cause for sew.
eral years."
A st. Petersburg special says: d.
rect telegraphic communication with
Moscow was severed Sunday night,
but the government succeeded In re-
storing communication by round-a-
bout route Monday morning. All re-
rorts agree that the fighting assumed
the nature of butchory by the ma
chine guns of the artillery, grape and
canister being employed mercilessly
against the Harmed insurgents.

Hardwood Floors.

Hardwood floors as background
for rugs are of course the most de-
sirable, but even cheap softwood may
be stained a rich dark blue, green or
brown, so that the attention Will be
distracted from the scarcity Of the
rugs. There is no rug to compare
with the oriental rug in beauty and

there is nothing more charming than

Cedar Oil.

A bottle of oil of cedar may serve
many uses. The oil gives a delightful
fragrance to a room and will do much
toward freshening house that has
been closed during the summer
months. Every one has not the lux
ury Of a cedar closet or chest. To
such a person the little bottle Of fra
grant oil will prove a grateful sub
stitute. By carefully painting the
woodwork of a closet with cedar oil
and laying blotting paper saturated
with the oil on the shelves one would
readily believe that the closet was
lined with cedar wood.

building up its delta, higher end
higher until today tAe bed OF the river
is above the valley on eltae- side.
Once let it cut its banks and the
stream spreads out all over the coun-
try. About four years ago a large
corportion, imbued with the laudable
purpose of making homes for settlers
in the Salton Desert, completed a big
canal heading in the river below Yu-
ma and almost OF the international
boundary. The canal was n large
one, 60 feet on the bottom, and carried
a great amount of water through
Mexico into California on to the area
now called Imperial Valley. The
canal heading, owing to the character
of the banks of the stream, was fDse-
cure. 1t has always been n source of
trouble Il annoyance. The river
resented it as an obstruction in its
course and deposited great loads of
silt in front of 1T Inc then proceeded
to cut a channel around it. Dredges
We're used constantly to keep the canal
heading open.
The last great flood in the stream
simply wiped away the head gates
and opened a way for a large part of
the stream to flow into the valley.
Just below this point the stream
spilled over the banks again and fol-
lowing down an old stream channel
1t finally began to pour its whole vol
ume in to Salton Sink. Only the high
banks of the Imperial canal prevented
larger areas of irrigated lands from
being inundated and millions of dol
lars in crops from being destroyed.
Great difficulties are presented to
the engineers who are trying to induce
the stream to go back to its old chan
mel. A new heading is projected.
Thousands of feet of lumber have
been ordered and steamboats, are
awaiting its arrival. If these means
prove ineffective there is danger that
5000 families now residing in the In
perial Valley, may be rendered home
less. Competent engineers are in
clined to believe that the task is be-
yond the strength of the present COM
pany to perfom and that measures
now being undertaken will not prop
crly nor permanently safeguard the
property of the people in the valley.
This is a question for the engineers

How to Tell COunterfeits.

Any visitor to the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing where Uncle Sam is
printing the much sought-after green
backs, comes away impressed with the
intricacies of the manufacturing Of a
paper note. Few, indeed, understand
the rule of four adopted b. the Govern
ment as an aid in thwarting the plans
of counterfeiters. Acquaintance with
the rule of four, might help many peo-
pie of the outside world in detecting
counterfeit money. Every note printed
by the Recommendations currency
and not bank n~otes-contains a number
and a letter, no two bills having the
same number. These are printed, as
the visitor can see, in the blocks of
four as they leave the plate printers
table. For instance, a number will be
found o. a note, 5S.3S3 with the letter
c in the upper left hand and lower
right hand corners; another bill bears
the number 79,9SS d; another 1856 3.
These numbers and letters have a re-
lation for each other and are easily de-
termined. The last two numbers on
the note determine, when divided by
four, the letter to be found in the tive
corners. Should the last two numbers
be Invisible by four, with a remainder
Of one, the letter appearing should be
A; if two remain, B; if three remain,
C; and if the last two numbers are
exactly Invisible by four, with no re-
mainder, the letter appearing should
be D.

Rest the Bones of Pocahontas.

The proposition to bring back to the
ancient city of Jamestown the body Of
Pocahontas, in connection with the ex-
position at that place, has aroused con-
siderable Indignation, both in England
and in America, by people who believe
that such a step is nothing more than
a move intended as a side-show feature
of the exposition. While it is true
there have been instances of a disturb
anc of a grave made hundred, of years
before, as in the recent case of Ad-
miral John Paul Jones, still the cases
cannot be compared. One is a man who
had much to do with the preservation
of the American nation and navy the
other was the central figure in a bit of
fiction surrounding the settlement Of
this country by English settlers. Po-
cahontas, it is true, was a native Amer
lean, which John Paul Jones was not,
but Pocahontas married an English
man, lived ard died i'll England, and
rounded by all that is English.

to America, cites pages from a book by
an American writer tending to show
that the life Of ~Pocahontas was a ira.

Toothache or Appendicitis?

A movement looking to the better
care Of children is spreading. It is
proposed now that the tooth brush
drill be a part of the curriculum of
our schools. and that dentists should
visit regularly the children attending
them. Doctors have spoken very
strongly on the usefulness of taking
tonics and similar medicines in order
to promote better digestion, or to
purify the blood, when a constant
system of poisoning is going on in the
mouth. 1t is claimed hat much poor
blood and weakness in children comes
from dental decay. A noted physician
declares that appendicitis is caused by
bad teeth. Take your choice-either
have your teeth extracted or your ap-
pendix cut out. The doctors get you
either way, going or coming.

CHINESE GRAVEYARD CUSTOMS.
Peculiar Custom of Placing Cooked
Food on the Graves of the
Departed.

Assorted foods, literally by the
wagon load, are annually taken out to
Cypress Hills Chinese Cemetery by
members of New York's Chinese col
ony, says the New York Times, and
these offerings, which are to us such
strange evidences of affection and re-
m~embrance, are placed with pic
turesque rites, on the graves where the
departed Celestial brothers of the
c~olonists are awaiting the convenient
or is it the auspicious?-season for
transshipment to the land which these
most stOlid of sentimentalists insist on
believing to be the only one where the
dead can rest comfortably. These an,
nual Illustrations of the fact that the
Chinaman has feelings like the rest of
us, even If he does choose different
ways of showing them, attracts the
usual amount of attention, some of II
respectfully curious and some openly
derisive. but neither variety affects the
performance of the ceremonies or
enables us to get a bit nearer the mys,
FERROUS Mongol mind. 1t is hard to
believe that far-traveled Chinese
really think that anything is accom-.
plished for the dead by putting roast
pig and boiled rice on a grave, and YET
they do 1t year after year..

make clear the unusual conditions
which at present prevail in the Col

Below the town of Yuma, Arizona,
the stream has cut its banks at three
places and passing through old, dry
channels, is now pouring westward
