Youthful lonie.

Mrs l., a young and Inexperienced
Sunday school teacher, was at times
sorely perpIexed how to answer the
questions put to her by some OF her
unusually bright pupils. One day just
after she had finished telling the chill
dren the story that Adam was the first
man God created quiet reigned In the
class room for several minutes. Sud
denly up jumped little Rosie and in a
piping voice said, "Oh, teacher, you for
got to tell us whether God created
Adam right away man or babyr
Embarrassed Mrs /. looked up to the
ceiling and then to the children for an
Inspiration. Happily she quickly spied
Betty's little hand raised above the
others eager to answer the question.
Teacher, am surprised my sister
Rosie should ask such foolish ques-
ton. Why. God must have created
Adam right away a big man, because
if God had created him a baby he
would have had to have a mother to
take care of him."

Three Points For tie Cock to Keep
In Mad.
To breil fish three things are neees-
Bary-a clear fire, clean gridiron and
well prepared fish. The fire must burn
clearly, brightly and steadily, all smoke
must be carried away bF the dues, aud
a handful of salt thrown on viii assist
the clearness..
The gridiron must be delicately clean
and well creased, either by brushing
with oil or by rubbing with fat or suet.
1t must also be well warmed
The fish must be cleaned. the scales
rubbed of and the fins trimmed aud
then washed well i'll salted water and
very thoroughly dried. Next. score the
fish across oaliqaelg with deep cuts
about an inch apart and brush over
with salad oil. dust with pepper aud a
little salt Have. ready the gridiron.
If it is desired to avoid the erisscross
marks Of tie hot bars lay across these
q few well oiled straWs il little longer
than the fish aud then lay the fish on
the straws. Hold tie grid. quite close
to the fire. slantins it a little to pre-
vent the fire smoking. IF the fish is
too far away from the fire It viii be
iabbr and soft, while the evils Of
smoke need not be recounted.} The
time required is about ten to fifteen
minutes. or until the fish is a delicate
brown. crisp aud firm. It must ba
turned once, and only once. In relnoy
Ing from the grid use a Fat knife or
fish slice.
Another way OF broiling. especially
applicable to behring's, is to split the
fish open and spread it out fat, dip It
into oatmeal which has been seasoned
with salt and pepper, then place two
fish together, face to face. and grill.
Herrings or trout broiled whole are
also very delicious il dipped In oat-
meal after they have been oiled. They
do not require any further basting.
Very dry fish should be brushed either
with oil or with melted butter while
they are cooking.

THAT JAP ROW
Another Account of That Small Riot When Firemeu We're
 Attacked al Vancouver
UNSECURED FOR LIFE

Portland, Ore, Jan 3.--The Oregon ian to-day prints the following dis patch from it's Vancouver, B C., corre- spondent:
 While at 10 stage did the fight be- tween the three city firemen and the Japanese early New Year's morning reach anything like the dimensions of tne September riots, the incident has revived tic bittcrcst feelings. After all the explanations and apologies made, both civic and governmental, Vancouver did not believe it possible that an attack such as occurred could be made.
 All three victims are, stili alive though at least two are disfgured for life. Young Frost, a fine looking ath- lete. had his nose sliced off by one of the sword-like knives of the Jap anese. The other men, though fear fully injured, are recovering. Me- Donald was removed to his home yes terday while Anderson is still in the hospital with Frost"
 Only four Japanese have so far been arrested and all are held on charges of attempted murder. The most seri- 'ous feature in the popular view is that the Japanese section is practical Fly an armed camp against the whites of Vancouver Two thousand men live together there ready to resent the slightest interference. The pres ent instance is regarded as particular ly fragrant because the young men were iI uniform withafreman's caps. and for aught the Japanese knew they might have been attacking policemen. The correspondence concludes:
 Vancouver has been little ashamed of herself since the night of the Sep tember riot, but the frightful attack Of New Years morning is just now being regarded in, some quarters as showing complete justification. There is not any particular danger of an other big riot in Vancouver except for just one thing-a murder. That is what the authorities are afraid of
 Last night the Vancouver trades and labor council discussed the Jap anese question. There was a large Attendance of tlaboring men. It was seriously proposed that if there was not legal machinery by which the police copld get through all the houses lof Japanese in town, to search for Knives and reyolvers, and thoroughly disarm the Japanese, then the labor. Hing men would afli themselves with revoivers for cases Of emergency. No resolution was. passed on this subject, but 4 resolution was passed |sto Police Magistrate A.. Williams. whose alleged pro-Japanese decisions since the September riots were criti- clsed. It is alleged that the mag;s- trate. police. and city council are all afraid tofact against. the Japanese for fear of offending the Japanese government X committee was ap- pointed to investigate the conduct of the magistrate and demand his dis missal if the charges are found to be true.

HARDEN GUILTY
Sensational German Case Came 10 an End To-Day With Yer.
 dict Against Prisoner
FOUR MONTHS IN JAIL

Berlin, Jan. 3.-Maximilien Harden was sufficiently recovered to appear in court to-day and the hear ing of Count von; Moltkess libel suit against him entered upon its final stage.l Harden was attended by his own physician, Dr Eisenberg. He spoke in his own defense 3
 In the beginning his voice was feeble and he could scarcely be heard, but later, during portions of his ad- dress, he developed something like his customary elocutionary vigor. His first impressions concerning Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg and the persons attached to the princess in- terests at court had been gained, he said, from the late Prince von Bis- marck and his household.
 These impressions had been SUD- plemented by conversations with Mrs von Elbe. the divorced wife of Count von Moltke, Prof Schweninger, Bismarck's physician, and others. ii1iuCh odiu lc dSouIutu TeSUOu- sibility for what he had written, but not for the interpretation given by other people to his articles. If he had intended to write against the private life of Won Moltke, he had had for many years material that he could have used. He had refrained from publishing the things against von Moltke until he reached posi- tion in the entourage of the emperor where his influence might be injur- ious to the fatherland. Then only had he endeavored, by referring in his articles to von Moltke's relations with Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg to remove this bad influence.
 Harden was sentenced to four months Imprisonment on the charge of libeling Count von Moltke.
