SAN FRANCICO, Sept. 11.-Five

This declaration is made by no

are out of employment who would
be glad of any position by which
their needs can be decently pro-
vided.
People are becoming so accus-
toned to orientals they forget an
American girl cannot live like an
Asiatic. They give the Japanese
regular hours, and nothing is al
lowed to Interfere with their regu-
lar routine; but with a hired girl
the entire system is changed; the
family will remain at the table as
long as they choose, and the girl
must make no engagements that
will interfere with such arrange
ments.
Many people hire Japanese for
an hour or at time, from some
Japanese housekeeping company,
of which there are scores in the
city. 1t is surprising how many
girls are thus crowded out of en-
ployment.

Two months ago Conkey was pro-

He wanted to get out of it, but
what else could he do?
Joseph Sheehan came to town to
give a season of grand opera. Con-
key had an inspiration.
"I'll go on the stage he decided.
For years he had been a men,

How Soy Is Made

A vegetable substitute for milk, used
largely in China, is made there from
the seeds of the SOFA hispida, or oily
Chinese bean (soy-bear), we are told by
Francis Marie in La Nature paris,
June s.. He says:
''To obtain it the seeds are first
boiled and then pressed, making a sort
of PURGE which when dissolved In
water makes very nourishing vege-
table milk. When treated with a
mineral salt it coagulates and
may be made into a kind of cheese
(to-fou) which plays an important part
in the dietary of the Chinese and Japa-
nese. 1t is generally eaten
fresh, but may be cooked and
preserved by sailing or smoking. In
commerce three principal varieties of
vegetable cheese are found: one, which
is fermented, is white, yellow, or gray,
and has a piquant taste like that of
Roquefort; the second is salty and
white, resembling goats milk cheese,
and the third is smoky and like Cru
yere. Soy-cheese is so cheap
that enough to serve man for a day
costs less than a centime Is cent /,
or fifty or sixty times less than an
equal quantity of animal cheese.
LAS for the food-value of soy-milk
it is sensibly equal to that of cow s
milk; it contains important quantities
of legumin, whose chemical constitution
is very close to that of casein. Mr.. Lii
Yu-Ying, an attache of the Chinese
legation at Paris, is endeavor-
ing to introduce the culture of soy into
France. ''-Translation made for The

IN FAVOR OF THE ADOP.
TIONOFA CONSTITUTION.

At the preliminary meeting of
the delegates from this territory,
held on February 5th, it was de-
cided to appoint a committee of
seven TO draft a bill authorizing
the Legislature to call the conven-
ton together and to make a prop
osition to defray the expenses of
the convention. c. c. Davidson,
in an interview with the editor of
this paper, enthusiastically favors
the meeting of the convention
about the middle of August for the
purpose Of drafting a constitution
to be submitted to the people for
ratification at an election in No
vember, and if ratified, to be SUBJ
mitted to congress Immediately
thereafter.
In the light of precedent this is
the method of procedure for the
admission of New Mexico to state
hood OF the thirty-two states ad-
mitted 10 the Union since the ad-
option OF the federal constitution,
twenty-six have been admitted in
this manner. 1t does not appear
to me that we should wait for con-
gress to pass another enabling act;
if we want statehood and-we do,
we should continue the fight and
contend persistently and intelli.
gently for it. Congress has always
been 10th to admit new states and the
opposition in that body is more
powerful today than ever, which is
cause for greater efforts on the
part of the territory seeking ad-
mission. believe the Legislature
should not only make an appropri-
alton for the convention, but
should also make a sufficient ap-
preparation to defray the expenses
of committee of representative
citizens of the territory to go to
Washington, should the constitu-
ton be ratified by the people OF
the territory, and remain the entire
session if necessary to influence
that body to admit New Mexico to
statehood"
