Chinese instruction, following upon
Russian and German aggression in
that land. The Chinese, not relishing
the activities of the foreigners in
snatching at the wealth of their native
land, at their policing of coveted dis
tricts, rose in armed resistance, MUIR
dered the German minister at Picking,
attacked the legations. 1t seemed in
evitable that war would follow, China
be dismembered, with Europeans TAX
ing fat share, and Americans quite
left out.
Regarding Mr.. Hays decisive move
at this portentous moment, we call
from an article in Mcclure, written by
Brooks Adams. 1.-THE only minister of
foreign affairs in the whole world who
grasped the situation was John Hay"
In the crisis of his life, Mr.. Hay was
ready, and on his promptitude and eff
ficiency at that moment must rest his
highest claims to craftsmanship. II
war were declared against China, moth
ing could prevent the Americans from
sooner or later losing control OF the
situation, and the Europeans acquiring
it. Consequently, at any cost, nominal
peace had to be maintained and Picking
occupied before Field Marshal Won Wal
dersee could arrive. Mr.. Hay issued
the circular note, in which he laid
down the principle that the disorders
in China had produced a condition OF
virtual anarchy, whereby power and
responsibility were practically de-
volved upon the local provincial au-
thorities. These local viceroys Mr..
Hay declared himself ready to assist
in restoring order, and so long as
these provincial governors did not re-
bel, he maintained that the United
States, and, indeed. all the world, must
remain at peace with China. Mr.. Hay
advised the president to land an army
on the coast and march to Pek1ng,
while yet he could be master. AS soon
as Gen. Chaffee took command, Mr..
Hay advised an advance, though the
Americans marched alone. The lega-
tions> were relieved, Peking was occu-
pied, and the campaign ended precise
ly as our cabinet could have wished.
Mr. Hay succeeded in detaching first
one power and then another from the
coalition"
1t is not often that the possessor OF
the artistic temperament makes sue
cess in practical politics. John Hay,
perhaps, is the exception that proves
the rule. Early leaning towards the
profession of literature, graduate OF
the profession of law, fortune SO d.
rected lis career that he was to de-
vote himself to neither the chosen nor
the adopted line of work; but was to
prove his versatility and adaptability

in far opposite ways. Tie poet became
ambassador, the author statesman.
John Hay was born in Salem, Ind,
in 1888. His father, observing his love
for books, sent him to Brown univer.
sity, where he was graduated in 1858,
the poet of his class. When the young
gentleman with leaning toward the

ton of the practical side of life by at
once commencing the study of law.

TN the first place, they were both elder
| ly, sober-minded. dignitied people,
SO there was no possible reason why
anyone should be inspired to play ride
ulous tricks on them when they finally
decided-after 20 years of waiting-to
get married and go east on long we'd
ding trip.
Thomas Carr was So. a deacon in the
First church at home, and business
man of standing and reputation, whose
frosty side-whiskers were more likely
to inspire respect and awe than levity.
Sarah Anderson, his bride, owned to
more than 40 summers and possessed
quiet and serene disposition-which
latter fact proved, after all, a great
blessing.
Then they took care to see that no
one was invited to the wedding who
might have been moved to do anything
foolish in the way of throwing old shoes
or rice after the bridal party. And
Thomas Carr, with craft and guile
which hurt his conscience, concealed
the route they were to take and the hotel
they were to stop at in Chicago-at least
he though he did.
No, indeed! There should be no fool
ishness about their wedding trip. They
were too old to be stared and laughed
at. On the train to Chicago they sat in
the same seat, but Sarah looked out the
window, while her newly made husband
read the morning paper, with hardly
glance in her direction. AS a matter
of fact, he played the part of an unin-
terested escort too well to suit the bride,
who. after all, was woman.
On arriving in the city, they took the
common bus and were driven over to
the Sherman house. where Thomas
wrote, "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Carr, Earl
vile, ILL.," on the register, without be-
traying in any way that he was doing
anything unusual.
About two dollars, please" he said,

QUESTION.

Dear heart, II we could walk away
Adown the wales of yesterday,
Could climb again like laughing Hope
Each green-clad knoll. each verdant sfope'
Could sit and see the rivers shine
Through beech and fir and spruce ana pihe'
Would we achieve all that we knew
OF peace and love betwixt Us two?
If we could see'the clover bloom
And catch the far-blown sweet perfume
OF the wild flowers of the wood.
Know everything that seemed so good
In those bright days to you and me.
The shadow of the buckeye tree.
And everything, would your soul then
Speak through your eyes to mine again!
II we could stand beneath the moon
In purple shade by the lagoon
And see the poplars sim and high
In silhouette against the sky.
And see afar the city'S light
In thousand stars against the night
Where the moonpath just shuns the shore.
Would we be as we were once more?
Would we-would we between us two!
Would that rare bond that once we knew
Hold our two souls as once it did
When my warm kisses We're unchid?
j know the knobs and slopes are there,
The whole vast scenei The skies are falr
AS they were then, my heart beats true!
Do you still treasure all we knew!

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: % Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and CD Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
Cd Mine,nl-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents a pound. and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to 25c. pound.
(2) Bone 1cid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
Yitriol and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion"
etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made: such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents pound.
CO Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture of wine.
After the wine is drawn off the tartar
is scraped from the cask boiled with
water, and crystals of Cream of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected 1t differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape. Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
IN baking powder to act upon the
soda, as its wholesomeness is beyond
question. Cream of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents a
pound.
Such are the facts. and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
cranes
