CAN ALWAYS TRUST cHINAMEN.
Customs In Celestial Empire Have
 Made Dishonesty Scarce.

You soon learn in China that you can trust a Chinaman to carry through anything he agrees to do for you," says Samuel Merwin in Success When I reached Tai Yuan-fu I handed my interpreter a Chinese draft for $200 (Mexican), payable to bearer, and told him to go to the bank and bring back the money. had known John little more than a week, yet any one who knows China will understand that was running no appreciable risk. The individual Chinaman Is simply part of family, the family, is part of a neighborhood, the neighborhood is part of a village or district, and so on. If John had disappeared. with my money after cashing the draft and afterward been caught, punishment would have been swift and severe. Very likely he would have lost his head. If the au- thorities had been unable to find John they would have punished his family. Punishment would surely have fallen on somebody"

Drlvinq a Good BaroaIn,

The barber's small son was in the habit of playing around his fathers shop, and he was always keenly in- terested in the patrons. Many B stray penny found its way into the little chubby hand, and sticks of gum were dropped in quite as though by accident. Judge Williams drifted into the shop the other afternoon for a hair cut. The lad recognized the fact that the judge was a new patron, and so was more than ordinarily inter- ested in him. He hung at the foot of the chair and looked musingly at the judges bald head. Then he walked slowly to the back of the chair and surveyed the scanty fringe of hair from that point of vantage. He could contain himself no longer and burst out incredulously: Father, do-you-get a quarter for cutting that?"-Lippincott's.

NEW IDEAs IN DESSERTS.
Delicious Dishes Will Be Welcome .-.'. Change In the Menu.

A recipe from a western cook for a and costs no more than a quart of ice cream:
 Beat until light and foamy the yolks of four eggs, and put them in double boiler with one cup of maple sirup. Cook, stirring constantly, for 15 minutes, then remove from the fire and beat until quite cold. Stir in one pint of rich cream which has been stifhy whipped, pour into mold, cover and pack in ice and salt for about five hours.
 For further freezing, have a thick layer of shaved ice in your pail, set the mold in, sprinkle in a little salt over the ice, then fill the pail with alternate layers of ice and salt.
 There are some women who dislike to fuss with cracking and shaving ice, and numerous jellies and creams can be prepared that are quite as delight full and refreshing as the frozen va. rtety. One of these is a pineapple Bavarian cream.
 Chop finely a medium-siZed pine apple, add to it one cup granulated sugar, and let simmer 20 minutes, then add one-third of box of gelatin, which has been dissolved in one-half cup of water. Stir them until cold, then add one pint of rich cream and one-fourth pound candied cherries. Mix thor oughly, then put in a mold and set away on the ice.

VALUE OF ORANGES
ONE OF THE MOST HEALTHFuL
 OF FOODS.
Many Delicious Dishes That Can Be Prepared from This Royal Fruit
 -OmeIet That Will Be Appreciated.

Medical men say that an acid or ange eaten daily before breakfast from December to April tends to pro- duce a condition of almost perfect health. It is we'll known that singers consume large quantities of oranges, the juice of the fruit being considered specially good for the voice. Fresh fruits are always wholesome and ap- petizing as a food or in beverages, and fruit in some form should be eaten daily. Oranges may be served in many dainty dishes, and one may re- joice over the fact that the supply Is plentiful and the price reasonable.
 Orange Omelet.-Beat the yolks of six eggs with seven teapspoonfuls of powdered sugar. Whip the whites to & stiff froth and pour the egg and sugar mixture over them. Mix lightly. at the same time adding the juice and grated outside rind of large orange. Melt a tablespoonful of butter in frying pan and tilt 1t about until the bottom and sides are we'll greased. Pour in the omelet and cook slowly. When firm and nicely Drowned. set in a hot oven for two minutes, then fold 1t together, place on a heated dish and serve at once.
 Orange Roly Poly.-Peel, slice and seed four sweet oranges. Sift together one pint of flour, one tablespoonful of baking powder and one-Quarter of teaspoonful of salt. Rub into this two tablespoonfuls of butter and mix in .,fH Hnfn fn kn C0ft dough. Turn out on a well-foured board, roll out in long strip, spread with the sliced oranges and sprinkle we'll with sugar Roll up, pinch the ends so that the juice will not run out, lay on buttered plate and steam for 30 minutes, then set in the oven until the top is dried off. Serve with hard sauce.
 Orange Pudding.-Take three or anges, the juice of half lemon, one pint of milk, one tablespoonful of cornstarch, one cupful of sugar, two eggs and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt Peel the oranges and cut them into pieces half the size of a nutmeg. taking out the tough portions in the center Place the pieces in a pudding dish, squeeze the lemon juice over them, add half cupful of the sugar, stir and set aside while the rest of the pudding is being prepared. Beat the yoIks of the eggs, stir in two table spoonfuls of milk, add the same quan- tity of milk to the cornstarch, and beat the two mixtures together Heat the rest of the milk tr a milk boiler and when 1t comes to the boil add the egg and cornstarch mixture. Cook for five, minutes, add the salt and the rest of the sugar, remove from the fire and lay the preparation, one spoonful at time, upon the oranges in the dish. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff, add one tablespoonful of sugar, spread the icing on top of the pudding and brown 1t delicately in the oven.

A STEADY DRAIN
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body Make You III, Laneud and Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of life giving albumen from the blood into the urine and the substitution of poisonous uric acid that goes broadcast through the system, sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of albumen cause weakness. .langour depression. Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea. cricks in the back, gravel and kidney stones. The proper treatment is a kidney treatment, and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Wm. l.. Calkins, living 343 Main St., Hartford, Conn. says: About two years ago l was suffering from an acute attack of kidney complaint which think wns brought on by strain. The chief feature of my trouble was dull, drag ging pain across the region of my kidneys and in my Joins. At times the action of the kidney secretions was very irregular and caused me much annoy ance. had read so much about Doan's Kidney Pills that thought it might be we'll for me to give this remedy trial. l accordingly procured them and the contents of one box brought me the de- sired relief. l am now without a symp- tom of kidney complaint and give Doan's Kidney Pills the entire credit for curing me-"

Smooth Lunch Cloths.

To have lunch cloths and center pieces without creases from having been folded Is difficult. Either save the heavy pasteboard rolls that pic lures and calendars come in or make a roll of heavy paper about twice as large around as a broom handle; and. by the way, an old broom handle serves to start the roll of paper on, having two lengths, one about a foot long for small linen pieces and another about three feet long for larger pieces, and roll the freshly ironed linens on these rolls and keep in linen drawers ready for use and 1t will not be neces- sary to iron the creases out of each piece, as Is the case when they are folded.

HERE'S IDEAL MODEL CITIZEN.
The Coming Man as Seen by Admir-
 ers of Socialism.

To describe an ideal modern citi- and a suggestion as to what must be built in reality by the efforts of a thousand minds. But he will be a very different creature from that in- different, well-behaved business man who passes for a good citizen to-day. He will be neither under the slave tradition nor rebel, nor a vehement elemental man. Essentially he will be aristocratic; aristocratic not in the sense that he has slaves or class in- feriors, because probably he will have nothing of the sort, but aristocratic in the sense that he will feel that the state belongs to him and he to the state. He will probably be a public servant; at any rate he will be a man doing some work in the complicated machinery of the modern community for salary and not for speculative gain. Typically he will be a profes- sional man. I do not think the ideal modern citizen can be a person living chiefly by buying for as little as he can give and selling for as much as he can get; indeed, most of what we idolize as business enterprise, think he will regard with very considerable contempt. But then I am a Socialist and look forward to the time when the economic machinery of the commu- nifty will not be a field for private en- richment but for public service.- Everybody's Magazine.

Tub Cheese.

Many years ago I used to see this peculiar cheese prepared, says writ CT in the Boston Globe. Fresh, sweet milk was used, and the curds were set with rennet in the usual way. Every day, or as often as the milk curd could be spared for the purpose, the curds were run up," salted and packed solid in a wooden tub kept for this use. When full the tub was covered with a thick cloth and heavy, close cover, and set away in a dark and remote corner of the cellar. There 1t remained several weeks or months before 1t was con- sidered fit to use. I never knew what changes took place in the stuff during this ripening period, but I do remem- Der how odiferous that region of the cellar became whenever the covers were removed

Must Charge to Get Crowd.

The Ladies' guild of certain New York church had planned an evening entertainment and reception, and asked the rector to make announce ment of it on the Sunday preceding.
 This is all right" he said, "but you must charge admission"
 Why this is just social evening" they protested. We are inviting peo- ple."'
 They won't come" said the rector, because they will think 1t Is not worth while. But charge a small ad- mission and you will have a good crowd" So the women gave in, and subsequent events proved the rector was right.
