 IN HONG KONG
Death of CooIie on Board a River Steamer Causes Anti-Foreign
 Agitation.

Hong Kong, December S.-There has been considerable anti-foreign agita- tion in Canton during the past few days on account of the death of a coolie on board a river boat, and the Chinese have boycotted the local river steamers. It was alleged that the death of this man was caused by an assault on the part of a foreign watchman on board one of the steamers. but an official in quiry dsproves this.
 In Hong Kong the recent orders of banishment issued against certain edi- tors and merchants on the charge that they melted rioting because the local shopkeepers failed to carry out the boycott ordered recently on Japanese goods, have been followed by agitation against the colonial government. The vernacular press is inflamed and the Chinese Piece Goods build and other similar organizations are threatening a suspension of trade pending a revis- ion of this banshment decision. Ugly rumors are ahoat and the situation may develop seriously.

Trifiles Worth Knowing

Leftover cereals need not be wasted. They are excellent fried like mush and eaten with syrup or honey.
 Clear soup or consomme should be strained through a folded towel laid on a colander. It must not be squeezed, or some of the small particles of egg used in clearing will be forced through and spoil the soup.
 Ammonia should not be used in the evening or near a fire, nor should the bottle be allowed to remain uncorked. It is inflammable and it's fumes are not spe- cially healthful.
 If fresh fish is to be kept over night it should be salted and laid on an earth ern dish not placed on a board or shelf.
 Covering the pan when fish is frying Is apt to make the fish soft A solidly firm meat, that is at the same time flaky. is what the good cook likes.
 When the supply of preserves has run low good jelly can be made in winter from oranges and apples mixed. The proportions are pint of boiled apple juice to pint of orange juice and a pound of sugar
 If a lamp wick does not move easily in the holder draw out one or two threads from one side.

Late Christmas Shopping

Isn't it a funny thing that women VIII nut off their Christmas shopping until the eleventh hour?
 The shops, long before the Christmas rush is on, announce their readiness and everyone should take advantage of this thoughtfulness in the matter.
 Resides the inconvenience to the shop per and the awful strain on the sales people there is another thing to be con- sidered-the weather. It seems shame to let all the beautiful days go by and then at the last minute, perhaps, to have to wade through storm and rain to get ones Christmas things.
 You may stop and think; there is not one single advantage to be derived from late shopping.
 Certainly, money is no easier near Christmas. Most of us know weeks be- fore just how much we can afford to expend and we do not gain anything by

spending it in driblets Instead of all at one time.
 It simply argues poor management
 A busy woman who has a small amount to spend if she Is clever, is laying in this and that pretty little conceit all through the year, for her Christmas gifts. Perhaps she hasn't the time for making the attractive handmade gifts which a less busy woman can do. Consequently every extra 50 cents that she can afford she should invest in something which she feels will please some friend.
 Just stop and think of the surging crowds down in the shops last Christ mas Wasn't it awful Christmas week? Pushing and showing and rislSing your feet, clothes, purse and health, not to speak of your temper-to buy something that might have been purchased weeks before in comfort.
 And another thing: Do people really prefer handled goods, tired clerks, fuss and confusion and picking up just any thing that is left, with no thought of appropriateness?
 It would certainly appear so, if you are among the late Christmas shoppers.

Want Old Tariff Restored

London, December 8.-In reply to the Board of Trades invitation to various chambers of commerce to express their views on the proposed changes in the American tariff, the Huddersfield cham Der suggests that the government should urge the United States to restore the tar fir which prevailed prior to the Mckinley and Dingley tariffs. These tariffs, ac- cording to the chamber, have proved practically prohibtive to tile heavier ana the low priced woolen and worsted goods and must, therefore, have resulted in a decrease in the revenue in the United States

Don't Snub the Children

This is the children's season-Christmas with all of its joy and happiness for the little folks and their little hearts and souls are bound up with life and merri- ment and more particularly now than at any other time should they be allowed many privileges.
 Children love to be treated with cour- tesy and respect. They resent having their opinions and sentiments snubbed and parents might learn good deal from them and about them if they would en- courage them to talk more freely Of all they think and feel. We are hanrdened by the gathering of what is the very truest and the very best. The contact of a childs mind with its pure vision Is an inspiration straight from God.

Old Virginia Brunswick Stew

Cut up two or three squirrels into joints and lay in cold water to draw out the blood. Put a gallon of water in large pot, add tablespoonful salt and boil five minutes.

Arrangement

massage in the same way with the cold cream.
 When shampooing never rub the soap directly the hair as 1t gums and is almost impossible to rub or rinse off. Always have the soap in some liquid form.
 For falling hair try massaging the scalp nightly with lotion made of three drams of pure glycerine, four ounces of lime water and half an ounce of tincture of cantharldes.
 A pallid skin indicates an anemic con dition of the blood, the lack of the red corpuscles; a good iron tonic is a neces- sity to improve such a complexion.
 Bushy, irregular eyebrows should be brushed lightly with a camers hair brush dipped in olive oil. The same treatment is good for stiff and harsh eyebrows and is said to make them grow

PRESIDENT CASTRO
 LANDS IN SPAIN

Santander. December S.-The steamer Guadeloupe, on which President Castro is a passenger, was not sighted tonight. Numerous representatives of the Ven ezuelan government, together with a number of foreign correspondents, are here awaiting the arrival of the pres ident. who is expected to leave the steamer at this port instead of pro- ceeding to Bordeaux, as was his origi- nal intention.
 The situation with regard to Presi- dent Castro is somewhat anomalous. The Spanish government has not been officially advised from Caracas that the president is visiting Spain, and under the impression that he will only touch here en route to Bordeaux, has in structed the local authorities to render him military and civil port honors. The four Venezuelan consuls now in San lander under instructions from Nicolas veloz-G Goiticoa, the charge d'affaires at Berlin, are likewise in the dark as to Castro's plans. Vice President Gomez, to whom Castro turned over the reins of government when he left Caracas, has communicated to the Venezuelan representatives abroad little beyond the fact that President Castro was pas senger aboard the Guadeloupe.
 Late advices received tonight, how ever, confirm the statement that Cas- fro is bound for Berlin. If it was his intention to continue on to Bordeaux, it is now believed that he will change his plans when he learns from the con suls that France is arranging to exact an apology from him before he is given permission to land. It is proba- ble. therefore, that Castro will disem- bark here in order to avoid an unpleas- ant conflict with the French authori- ties.

Walnuts Dangerous To Some
 Systems

Did you ever know there was real dan ger in eating green walnuts, especially the kind grown in America? They are poisonous to some systems. Recently a young man died from eating green wal nuts and girl lay ill for weeks as re- sule of poisoning due to the same cause. It is well to know the simple remedy which gives instant relief in cases of this kind. Feed the patient salt. It acts like magic and almost instantly dissolves the foreign matter which refuses to digest.

A Simple Exercise

Women have read much, heard much, tried much In the way of physical exer- else to reduce or to enlarge. The pres ent exercise, given out as reliable for all women. is the simplest yet prescribed. This is to clap the hands behind the back about ten times Q day. The hands must touch while the arms are held out straight on line as near the shoulder blades as one can wish.
 This exercise is said to develop the chest, sink the bones in the chest, en- large the width across the back and put fullness in the neck.

Milton's Ter-Centenary

Three hundred years ago today John Milton, the great poet, was born in Bread street, Cheapside, London.
 Milton and Shakespeare are regarded as the two columns that support the structure of English letters. The two are always associated, and yet they are as totally unlike as it is possible for any two personalities to be-.
 While little read, nowadays Milton is still beloved by scholars and students of the classics, who reserve for him a place that few if any one in the great world of letters could ever supply.
 One of his fellow poets has hailed him as
 "Chief of organic numbers,
 Old scholar of the spheres
 Thy spirit never slumbers
 But rolls about our ears
 Forever and forever
 Milton's lines and phrases from Para disc Lost" are often taken to be Bibli- cal, rather than Miltonic, so often are they quoted, and so majestic and grand are they in construction. Addison once said of him that Our language sank under him." which is as much untrue of his writings as what others have said of him, that he is 'too uniformly majes- tic"
 Milton's beautiful poems, 'I AllegroP and I'll Pehseroso," which were written at Horton, near Windsor, at the age of 25 are among the choicest gems in the English language.
 All hail the great and glorious Milton, on this, his ter-centenaryl May his mem- ory forever remain green in the minds and hearts of those who love and honor his geniusl
 On the Milton statue in St. Giles churchyard, Cripplegate, London, is this inscription:
