SOME ADVICE ABOUT Wells

In spite of the example set by

fastened securely down by pins. until

THE HINES PLAGUE.

Washington, April 14:-That the
great plague which is sweeping
China. leaving q trail Of death and
starvation, was started by a fur
bearing animal closely resembling
the American woodchuck, Is the
statement made in a report OF the
Marine Hospital Service. The Chi
nese, It Is stated, have until recent
ly been afraid to kill the animals be-
cause of superstition.
It was estimated by Surgeon Gen.
eral Wyman that in the cities OF
Hardin and Fuchition alone, more
than four thousand persons have died
Of the plague during the present ep-
idemio. A report received from Con-
sui Green at Hardin states:
AThe epidemic is having a disas-
trous effect on trade. Only under
exceptional conditions can Chinese
merchants now travel from place to
place along tho railway, while the
danger from brigands and from the
disease itself deters them from 60
Ing by cart. Frequent outbreaks OF
plague among the laboring classes
prevent the handling of freight; or
binary communications with Fuchi-
tfon Is stopped and foreign mer-
chants hesitate to enter into any

1t all depends upon the circumstances.
If the young men are members of your

the other hand, you think they will not

who sent the invitation, don't do it.

NOVEL PLACE CARDS.


Attractive place cards for wedding
suppers. are good-sized paper dolls
dressed in satin and tulle wells and
carrying brides bouquets. These are
fastened to oblong paper standards so
they can stand erect at each plate.
Sometimes a figure of the bridegroom
is used for the girls.
Another pretty idea is a big square
o. chiffon or thin lace tied into a bag
with narrow ribbon and orange bios
sons. Lay it open on a table filled
with rose petals or rice to be thrown
after the departing couple, then tie
the ends so they drop in four points.
The name of the guest can be stuck
in the top of these folds.
Simple cards, painted with orange
blossoms or other appropriate flowers
can have tied to them charms of tiny
silver wedding bells or bride slippers.

The eventless waiting drew out inter-

closer and closer, and the odd sense OF
crowded human intimacy was more OPP

regularity of Maclean's audible breath

skeptioism was not proof against the
same influence. The circle about the
table were swaying their heads a little
in time with their singing, while the
old gentleman in the corner fidgeted
~uneasily. In the street outside, a child
began to cry loudly, and was taken
away still wailing around the corner.
Surely, I thought, l of all people ought

strange things happening in actual life;
my w had been for weeks a night

revelation that had the lurid logic of a
melodrama, fawlessly plausible and
incredible only because l was unwill-

fabrication, because tangled marriages
and family mysteries happen in books
and among printed people,
not among those we know; yet melo-

CULINARY MAKEsHIFTS.

Canned tomato soup can masquerade
as a delicious PURGE if it is mixed with
half its bulk of cream or milk. Season
highly and add the cream before the
soup is heated, as it is less likely to
curdle. For variety barley or cut-up
~sphagetti can be added.
The mixture that is left in the bov-
tom of a casserole after the meat has
been removed can be utilized for an
other meal. Add about half the guam
tity of water, cut up dice of potatoes
and make dough balls, stewing the
mixture until the potatoes are tender.
