We walked by moonlight on the sands And watched the sparkling wavelets
 playing; She let me hold her little hands And gladly heard what was saying, Night after night we loitered there, l told her all my history, And was glad and didn't care, Although my feet were blistery. Thus for week my gladness grew, Her voice was sweet. her look was
 tender; An, how the precious moments flew, The world took on a strange new
 splendor Within my breast I felt pride That gladly confessed to her, And oft enchantingly she sighed Der words that I addressed to her The joy that possessed has fled, I do not watch the ripples playing; The stars still glimmer overhead, But she and I have ceased from
 straying She passes with nod ah mel My heart is still assailable, But I no longer chance to be The only man available.

preparing for the disturbance which will follow his death" said Willard R. Greene of New York, who is interested in mining properties in Mexico, and has just returned from it's capital
 Just now" continued MT. Greene, the country is in the hands of a dic- tator; it is practically a monarchy. The President has many strong char aeteristics, and has done much for Mexico, and he is lauded because of his military record, but his autocratic me- thods are tolerated because of his age. If it were not for the fact that he is so old, l believe a revolution would be pre- copitated at the present time. The young men are striving for liberty to exercise a large voice in the nations affairs, and the land barons are op- posed to Diaz. Then, too, it must be remembered that Diaz has caused much Catholic Church property to be confiscated. These elements brought to- gether because of their opposition to one man, which is not noticeable on the surface, but is marked underneath.
 A serious aspect ot the situation IS that a great deal of American capital is invested in the country, and con- siderable more foreign capital through Americans, and that intervention on the part of the United States may be brought about in some way, Mexico is the richest mining country i'll the world, and great stake to fight for.
 President Diaz has selected Ramon Corral as his successor He is a pleas- ant man to meet and quite able, but he believes thoroughly in the policies which are in force at the present time, and will continue them. Taking all the facts of the situation into consideration l think it is certain that there will De trouble of a very serious sort after Diaz passes away. Washington Star.

KHoKANs TO sTTJDY AMERTCA.

KHOKANS TO STUDY AMERICA. Soldiers From 6 Self Governing Rus sian Province to Look Into Our Method.
 For the purpose of studying Amer- ican methods, four Russians from Kho- kan, a remote city in Asistic Russia, are now in Seattle. They are a part of a party of twenty-five Stays who came over on the steamer Dakota. The rest of the men were from different parts of the country, The party of four from Khokan were formerly military men, and one of the number, Gen, Takisps- vile, fought through the Russe-Ja- panese war, engaging in some of the largest battles, and was wounded three times. He has four decorations confer red on him for valvor.
 M. 'Zataforaskoff, one of the party, speaks English huently, and stated that the party was in this country for the purpose of acquiring American ideas and advanced methods.
 Our part of Russia" said he; lis different from any other part of the empire. We have practically a self governing province. The people are all soldiers. This is one of the first re- | quirements for the children. The pro- vince of Ferghana, in which Khokan is located, is vast mountainous coun- try, and only the hardy riders of my country could live there. This is what makes them among the finest soldiers in the world, and what brought about the promotion of almost every one of l them who served in the Russian war against the Japanese One of our most famous products is silver work, In the factories the raest kind of things are produced and the art of the goldsmith is carried to perfection. here is much commerce. but 1t is carried on with the surrounding countries.
 Mining for gold, silver, copper and iron is carried on quite extensively and it keeps the cities fiourishing. At the present time the country is oyerrun with wandering Kurds, who do nothing but loot for their living. Plans are now on foot to run railroads through the country, and this will have q good effect. he mixed population of the pro- vince makes 1t hard to keep everything running smoothly in the Government but as practically all power is in the hands of the native people, there is sell dom any complaint. This province is nozt represented in the Russian duna as it is considered unnecessary, owing to the fact that we have everything We want.
 Our party will travel around the United States, and possibly through Europe, for tpe purpose of acquiring special information regarding the European methods of finance and l economies.
 The. others of the party speak nc English. They state that their native costume, with the large knives, bullets and revolvers, would be discarded for American costume and that they would endeavor to initiate the Americans in every way.--Seattle Post-Intelligencer

At the Czar's palace at Trarskoe SeIo, the nurseries provided for the care of children consist of eleven rooms. One feature is described by Miss Egar, the children's governess, as follows: In the bathroom is stationary tub of solid silver, used for the bigger children. There is small silver bath for the use of whatever baby reigns. Each child's name is engraved upon it, so 1t forms a historical record. It was ap- parently bought for Nicholas |, and bears his name and those of his family. We also find the names of Alexander II. and of Marie, afterward Duchess of Edinburgh. The last name added was that of Alexis, the little baby who was born in August 1904.

The Navy department continues to have much difficulty in obtaining Amer ican ships for the transportation of coal from the Atlantic ports to Mare Island and Puget Sound, where it was intend ed by the Bureau of Equipment to ship A large quantity of American coal the nresent month. The same condition applies to contracting with American bottoms for the shipment of fuel to the naval coaling station at Cavite. where the Navy department maintains large coal pile for the convenience of the ships on the Asiatic station, and in or der to be prepared for any emergency which may arise in that part of the world which would deny to our ships access to the commercial sources of fuel supply. The Navy department has been able to obtain only one American vessel. and this wll be used Il the ship ment Of coal to the station in the Phil ippines. The lack of ships and the final cost of fuel laid down on the Pacific coast have rendered it impossible, for the present at least, for the Navy de- partment to acquire American coal on the Atlantic coast in any such quantity as is desired,

F. N. McCann, who owns most of Alameda's Chinatown has warned the city authorities about the raiding of the homes and bedrooms of his ten- ants by policemen ostensib1y in search of fan-tan games. 'These actions will not be tolerated any longer" he writes to the chief of police. You are here- by notified to instruct your men not to commit any further unlawful acts in Chinatown. The stores and dwellings of Chinatown are rented at nominal rent, and this is evidence in itself that they are not rented for an unlawful purpose, and will not knowingly per- init any unlawful acts to be committed by policemen or Chinamen within it's confines"

The British vice-consul at Jaffa la ments that all the efforts made by a Liverpool firm to promote the cultiva- ton of cotton in Palestine have been fruitless, even though labor costs only 25 cents day and land is one-tenth the price of Egyptian land. The chief cause Of the failure is said by the consul to be the incapacity and laziness of the natives.

MAKING A CHEF.
1t Takes Many Years of Hard Work
and Training.

1t Takes Many Years of Hard Work
and Training.
"When you reflect upon what chef
goes through to complete his education
it is no wonder that his services COM
mand high prices" said the culinary
king OF q restaurant.
.@The chef" he continued, 'begins as
a boy, as apprentice to master. For
several years he works under the veg
etabia cook. He learns how to make
mashed potatoes thar look like white
roses, how to cook and to arrange all
the vegetables. from the truflles down,
in a hundred fine and beautiful ways.
He gets no salary. He gets only his
board.
"Then for a year he studies faW
meats. He learns how to select them
and how to cut them up. He can tell
at a glance, for instance, the genuine
salt meadow mutton from the false.
Along with this raw meat course goes
also Il study of fish and of game and
of poultry-how to stuff, dress, lard,
tIuss, and so on.
Next, for a year. at q small salary.
he stands before the fange 1earatns:
how to broil, fry, roast and bake.
"He now knows the foundation OF
his art and is admitted into the pres
ence of the chef himself-only assist
ants have taught him so far. The chez
teaches him to make soups, pastries,
ices and the more complicated pud=
dings and souffiees. Three or four
years is none too long time to study
here
"Ten years of hard work should turn
a quick apprentice into a good cher.
Such a chef without difficulty earns
from $25 a week up to $50. If he
gave halt as lnuch time to the bar, the
church or medicine ne would earn
thrice as much."-New York Press.

DESTROYING Garlic.

From a discussion of the subject of
garlic in pasture and hay fields by
practical cultivators, Country Gentle
man finds the prevailing opinion to be
apparently that to destroy the bulb Of
the plant the land should be plowed
shallow late in the fall, to expose the
bulbs to frost action. zone writer says
to harrow the ground after the bulbs
are frozen) Repeat the process early
in the spring. One writer reported
that two years of such practice ef-
fectuaily cleared his land. One letter
advised as follows; hPioW it up, sow
rye on the land Now plow it in next
spring and SOW peas at once. PlQw
them In the fall, and let the land stand
until the following spring. Then work
I'D nicely and SOW with grass OF any
other crop wanted 1t takes time TO
get rid of this, 1t cannot be done in a
hurry. I hare had good success that
way"
