letter FROM THI hlTI0NLI Capital
WI Ting Fang Booked for Retirement
I. aided Us at Time Of the Boxer
Troubles--Good Salad Story. :

!: WASH1NGTON.-Ther is much regret felt in
Washington over the news that comes from Peking
that former Minister WI Ting-fang is about to
retire from public life and participation in oriental
politics. Mr. Wu's efforts to introduce modern
ideas in the government of China have not been
very successful and he is now on a journey to
visit the tombs of his fathers, preparatory to
retiring on his fortune at Shanghai. There have
been strong hopes among MI. Wu's old friends
here that this shrewd forceful Chinese statesman
would be able to engraft some of the modern
western ideas upon the conservatism Of the Celes-
tial Kingdom.
: The departure Of Minister WI from Washing
ton is still well remembered. He had been par
ticularly conspicuous figure in diplomatic circles
and had made a place that none of his nredeces-

Mr.. WI was many-sided character and
excited both confidence and distrust during his
stay in Washington the representative of China.
There were many diplomats who were disposed
to regard with suspicion every move made by the
Chinaman and especially to look askance upon his
cultivation of Americans There were some Off
Gals in our government who had similar feel
ing. But away up in the highest ranks of the
administration, with the late President Mckinley
and the late Secretary of State John Hay, Mr.. WI
was received with confidence. Mr.. Hay was very
fond of this brilliant oriental and never had cause
to regret placing trust in him.
One of the most interesting chapters in the
history of the Boxer troubles in 1900 was the
faithfulness of Mr.. WI and the manner in which
he made good all promises. When weeks had

WORTH INVESTIGATING.

The use Of hand cream sep
arators is very rapidly grow
among farmers who milk
COWS for profit. Dairy men
prefer to purchase the cream
and be relieved of the work OF
separating, and it is much more
profitable for the farmer to do
his own separating, for he
saves the skim milk on which
he can raise his calves, in addl-
ton to which he saves the haul
ing of his milk, which alone
amounts in many cases to the
monthly payments required to
buy a cream separator. Inc
best time to separate the cream
from the milk is while 1T IS
fresh and warm. The cream
separates easier and a greater
percentage is obtained,' and the
skim milk is left sweet and
fresh to be fed to the calves.

Health as a Business Asset.

The average man is not accustomed
to regard his health as his very best
asset, yet that is precisely what It is.
The man who will accord due regard to
his health, from a strictly business
standpoint, will go farther, last long
err and accomplish more In the end
than one who makes health an after
consideration. Success which Is at
tanned at the expense OF health Is
worth absolutely nothing to the man
who attains 1t. There is no pleasure
either in the process or in the final
result.-St. Louis Republic.

AN r
How a Simple Householder with a
Small Porch Can Give 1t an Out
door Appearance.

So many of our leisure hours are
spent on the porch in summer that it
is of great Importance to have ii as at
tractive and convenient as possible.
1t is much harder to make a small
porch attractive than a large one,
where well-designed pieces of furni-
ture look well against a delightful set
ting of trees and vines, but in the
suburban districts the h~ousekeeper of
little means has many problems to be
solved. 1t is necessary to bring the
outdoor feeling as much as possible
on to the porch.
Pots of growing plants, OF boxes
fastened OF to the woodwork of the
porch, serve as a screen from passers-
by, and are always attractive to those
sitting on the porch. These a be
covered with pieces of Virginia cork
nailed irregularly against the sides of
the boxes, and give a very attractive
rustic appearance.
Fern baskets may also be hung In
the spaces between the posts, and on
the posts themselves little brackets
can be placed, one above the other, for
holding pots of growing flowers.
Another holder of flowers seldom
seen, would be one of the Japanese
bamboos, which must be nailed to the
posts, and can either be filled with
water, and have fresh flowers placed
in them. or can be filled with soil, and
contain some quickly growing creep
ers planted in the openings, giving q
most attractive appearance to the set
ting of the porch
The large growing plants placed OF
the floor, either in a corner or neal
the steps, are always an attractive
addition, and this is usually the only
decoration found on the average porch
