Chanaina the PIANO.

In the very commendable effort to
change things around a bit and give
the house a new look at housekeeping
time it is just as well to be a little
careful in the matter Of placing the
piano. A refreshingly new and
changed appearance may be given to a
room by having the piano in another
corner for change, but if that corner
is near a window or close to register
the scheme had better be abandoned.
A piano is extremely sensitive to cold,
heat or dampness. 1t is a great mis-
take to put it too near to the fire or
radiator, because the heat Is apt to
affect the delicately constructed sound
ing board and interfere with the tone
of the piano. A piano which stands by
an open window on a rainy day is al
most sure to be damaged. The damp
ness rusts the wires and otherwise at
fects the interior.
When dlsposingl of bric-a-brac in the
room, do not save the larger share Of
1t for the top OF the piano, rather let
the instrument be unincumbered by
books and ornaments, so that the pu-
rity of the tone will not be interfered
with.

ROOT GOING
TO SEE SEE D D||AZ
Belief That Firm Plans Are
Hatfhing for Peace of
Central America.
By Associated Press.


Washington, Aug. 24-There are
indications that the forthcoming visit
CT Secretary CT State Root to the City
of Mexico may result in what may be
almost characterized as confer
ence of American states. 1t all come
about because Of the decision of the
government of Guatemala to send
diplomatic representatives to Mexico
while the secretary is there. 1t is
the general assumption in spite of
disclaimers, that the president of
Mexico and Secretary Root will have
important exchanges of views rela-
tive to future cooperation in main
tanning the peace in South and Cen
trail America.
The state department maintains
that the secretary's visit is purely of
friendly and unofficial character.
The purpose CT this is evident If it
should be that the plans of the two
countries to arrange an agreement
looking to the control of things on
this hemisphere and to the mainte-
nance Of peace in Central and South
America come to naught, there els no
desire to have old statements and
suggestions bob UP to be used in
other countries in our diplomatic ex-
changes. There is an impression that
with the consent of Mexico, either di-
rect or implied, the other countries
will send their Representatives to
the City of Mexico. 1t is certain that
Nicaragua has already decided upon
this step.

A Woman on Women.

For solfishness and reconsideration
commend me to a woman travelling.
She will deliberately occupy two seats
in a street car, see other women stand,
laden with bundles, without offering
to move up and otherwise try to prove
to everybody with eyes in his head
that they, these women, have no man
ners at all. Yet if you called at the
houses Of such women 1 have no doubt
In the world that you would be courte-
ously received, their best would be at
your disposal, and you would other
wise discover that they had some claim
to the title Of ladies, but never from
their manners in public. And, far
from displaying good manners them
selves, many women are incapable OF
approaching good manners in others.
If a well bred woman does move up
to make room for a standing woman,
how often is the first woman thanked?
Sometimes not even a bow or a glance
is gtveni Ask men how often they are
thanked (once in twenty tines for
giving their seats in a car to women

CHINESE DID

Tireless Cooking So Old as
to Demand no Notice
Among Chinese.

Interesting experiments with fire
less cOokstOve, or hay box, method
of cooking, has attracted considerable
attention this summer in Galveston
and dwelling thereon one day recent
ly the Galveston Tribune man had d
faint remembrance and going into
the store of Wing Lee succeeded in
getting the following facts from the
Acknowledged son of the fiowery king
dom, who seemed to be the big noise
of the establishment.
Yes" said Wing, that idea yru

And the method that Cinnamon use
is practically along the same lines as
has been laid down in experiments
told of in the Tribune. For prepa--
ing tea, they heat the water the
same as We do it, and then place it
in a teapot which is enclosed IN d
wicker, tightly woven basket work,
there being a space of about three
inches between the Yesse. and teh
basket; this - packed tightly with
cotton, and in the heat the water
takes from the cotton, he tea leaves
placed therein slowly steep and give
out their strength, and pot thus
made the first thing in the morning
will last for twelve or fourteen hours,
always hot and ready fo;' use.
Wing also said that in his country
this idea is carried out still further,
for rice, vegetables, and other edi-
bles dear to a Chinese stomach are
prepared in the same way and placed
in cotton-packed baske,s containing
earthen vessels, and on long Journeys
such a thing as stopping to build
fire every time they want something
hot to eat is unknown.
Wing would not say whether they
used anything but cotton for the
packing, but with a smile said that

II You Would Make Good jelly.
Have the fruit ripe or just a little
underripe, freshly picked and of good
quality.
The small juicy berries, such az cur
rants, blackberries, raspberries, may be
cooked in a stone pot, which should be
placed in q kettle of boiling water
The contents should be stirred and
mashed we'll until the fruit is thor
oughIy heated, say for about an hour
Or, if preferred, the fruit may be
heated slowly in a preserving kettle
and then mashed.
Jelly will be greatly improved In fla
vor and color if it is first strained
through a cheesecloth bag and then
through a flannel one.
The strained juice should be placed
in a preserving kettle and boiled and
skinned A pound of sugar should be
added for each pound of juice.
The sugar should first be heated in
the oven and stirred into the boiling
Juice until it dissolves; then fill the
glasses. When such fruit as apples,
pears, peaches and ounces are used.
wash them thoroughly, cut in small
pieces, barely covering with water, and
cook gently until the fruit is soft and
clear This will take at least an hour.
Strain the juice, let it boil about
twenty minutes; then add the warm
sugar and boil five minutes longer.
Place glasses in the direct sun for sew
eral hours.

She would probably attract no atten-
ton in church choir. Her stock in
trade is the tneffable something called
personality. Every song she sings is
her song. You always remember it in
conjunction with her. She is q part
of it, as inseparable from it as the
words and music.
To make q song famous the singer
must be brimful of personality. She
may sing only indifferently well, and
she doesn't need to be pretty. All Of
Miss Vlctoria's costumes are clownish,
and she wears immense big shoes to
give her the sIovenly appearance Of a
woman in the lower stratum OF
English society.
But even in her disguise there are
about her a freshness of face, a clear
ness of eye and a buoyancy of gait
which prepare you for her striking
appearance off the stage. In private
life Miss Victoria is q beautifully
healthy, roast beef eating English girl.
She is probably about twenty-eight
gears old, and as yet she hasn't a
wrinkle TO her name. He. hair is
golden brown, and there Is a lot Of it.
Her eyes are blue and her cheeks rosy.
Her build is firm and strong, but very
graceful and stylish.
