The older man Strengthened the pan
and hastily picked up the fallen food.

them off, he ruefully remarked.
"Oh, well, therell be four left-and
I'm not very keen for them myself. "
1t couldn't be called an appetizing
dinner. The sausages were badly
fried, the bread was old, the tea too
strong.

The young man gravely nodded and
washed his hands and removed his
apron, and they sat down together,
and despite it's other shortcomings
the dinner was a social success.
I'm mighty glad to have somebody
to talk to-" the older man declared.

1t was pretty late when the stranger
got things Strengthened out in the
kitchen to his satisfaction. The older
man had been of very little help.
AS he took pains to declare, he was
very much more expert at getting
things out of place than in remember

The old man laughed until he cried.

"Just another word remarked the

Admirable precautions" remarked
the young man. Then he slyly added
1T might have been wiser II you had

The older man was still laughing
when he said good night.
The next morning Thomas Eastman
awoke with start. He heard sub

aroma OF coffee drifted through the
room.

Plans to Cure by Music.

That healing by music will ulti-
mately be accepted as the panacea for
hundreds OF cases Of disease which
now battle physicians is the belief OF
a Boston woman, Miss Christine
Brown, who has founded a new health
cult in that city.
The secret OF cure lies entirely In
sweet, melodious and seductive
strains of music" she says. Musical
harmony is a fundamental law OF the
inner self. To be well our bodies
must not only be In tune with the self
within, but in accord with external
conditions. I believe that music, sci
entifically employed in prisons and
asylums for the demented, will eventu-
ally become the means OF reforming
criminals, and will result In a steady
decrease in the thousands who now
crowd the insane asylums. Ii Is not
necessary that a person should pos
sess an artistic sense or that a suf-
ferer should even have a musical ear
to obtain the benefoent effects of har.

FEW OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA.
Learned Professions Offer Little In
dueement to Foreigners.

There are three professions In par
ticuiar which are attracting the atten.
tion OF foreigners in China" said DR..
b. NJ. Perkins of Shanghai In a recent
interview. DIR. Perkins has been In
China over ten years and is I'm the Uni
ted States on visit to friends and
relatives.
Those three professions are law,
medicine and dentistry. The Chinese
people have had all three for ages, but
their practice has been different from
that in other lands, and II will be some
time before Chinese competition In any
Of them will be felt except through
foreign training and as a result Of the
efforts of foreigners.
Chinese medical men have not been
in very good standing among their
own people for many years.
Chinese dentists have oone more
than their fellows in the medical line,
and, all things considered, Chinese
dentistry, while II cannot compare
with modern dentistry as practiced in
America and Europe, especially in the
former, Is far above what might have
been expected.
There are no requirements for ad'
mission to the bar In China, for the
reason that there is no bar. Each
consular court has its rules for admis.
sion, and when an attorney is allowed
to practice in one court II 10 taken as
an international discrimination If any
other consular court does not extend
like courtesy.
There is but limited field for the
law In China at best, and most of II is
already occupied by men who are well
established. whose business is pro
tected by the intense conservatism oil
the dominant British. 1t can safely
be said that there is little TO encour

BLACK SHOE THREAD is 5EsT
Excellent for Fastening Millinery or
naments In Place.

When trimming a hat the great
problem is how TO fasten the orna-
ments in place. Fine thread and
needles do not seem to be adequate
for the purpose. and. In fact, they are
not The best thread to use Is black
shoe thread and the best needle Is n
socalled glove needle"-one with a
threesided point that may be ran
easily through almost any substance.
With these two allies at hand II Is
not 50 very difficult TO sew whatever
is required. but II is worth while to
mention the different sorts OF trim
mings and how TO sew each to tho
hat, says a wriIer who would encour
age home millinery.
Velvet bows should always be made
with shoe thread. and II should be
wrapped around the loop OF the bow
so It will be quite firm. II should then
be sewn TO the hat with the same
thread and the needle Just de-
scribed.
Quilts and feathers may be attached
to the hat In the same way. but when
the tips OF ostrich piumes must be
caught and held at a required angle.
Il is better TO use a very fine black
thread and n No. 10 needle. The
stitches are then practically invisible.
and the result will be very satisfsc-
tory.

MRS. CLEVELAND WITNESS

New York, June 15.-With Mrs.
Frances Folsom Cleveland, widow of
the late Grover Cleveland, called as
witness, the trial of Broughton Bran
denburg the magazine writer on a
charge of grand larceny, began in the
supreme court today. The charge
grew out of the sale of newspaper
article which Brandenburg is alleged
to have disposed of to newspaper on
the representation that Cleveland was
it's author. Mrs. Cleveland repudiated
the article.
Mrs. Cleveland this afternoon on
the witness stand was shown the al,
legged signature of Grover Cleveland
attached to the articles and said u
have been written by him and declar-
ed it was false signature.
