Dr. Rawlings is a pleasing speaker
and he began by telling of the popula.
tion and size of China, with its 400.

with its 5O,OOO,OOO people; then of
Korea, so recently annexed to Japan
and of Korea's thickly populated area,
the country being only about the size

it is rich country, yet its people are
poor, for they are not exactly a thrifty
people Yet they have quantities of
fruits, there being no fruit in the
world to compare with their persim-

The Complexion.

Wells at this season of the year are re-
sponsible frequently for rough complex

hard mesh. The difficulty may be OBJ

becomes smooth.
After the first trace of roughness on the

An Informal Evening at Home.

To be at home informally, having
buffet supper which continues for sew
eral hours, is one of the most delight
full ways of entertaining. and one that
need not tax purse or ingenuity.
One woman who lives in the country
for seven months of the year has
adopted it there and continues it in
town, keeping in the house that even
ing only one maid, although she has a
large staff
Her way of doing suggests the Eng
Iish fashion of serving breakfast in
large country houses. The food is on
the table and the guests go out to the
dining room when they wish, serving
themselves.
AS this particular hostess arranGes
it, the supper table is laid with doilies
and centerpieces, plates left in piles
and silver where it is easily seen. She
has a cold roast, a salad and some
times two There are jellieS and
cakes, and on the sideboard an old cof-
fee urn is lighted, keeping the bev-
erage hot.
IT is ready for serving after o'clock.
When guests arrive. as they do from
then until or so. they go to the draw
ing room and talk with the hostess for
while. Sometimes she goes with
tnem TO the dining room TO see tndt
they are served for the maid is not
there all the time. Usually. however,
there is guest who knows the ways
of the household sufficiently to take
others to the dining room to supply
their wants. Every fifteen or twenty
minutes the maid comes in from the
pantry to remove what soiled dishes
have gathered and to bring in more
silver and plates. which are required
as the first are used
1t is the hostess custom to go to
the dining room for her own supper
about o'clock. and her friends know
ing this, there is the largest number
present then. All serve themselves
the maid only removing the dishes.
Persons who live formally through
out the week have a very pleasant
change by adopting this custom. while
woman who has but one maid may do
the same with small expense The
food selected is chosen entirely with
regard to ones income and may be
elaborate or simple. Hot food is pos
sible by the use of the chatting dish

excellent for porridge-making and is an
addition to the invalid cookery list. The

is a miracle that he was not killed; he
escaped without injury of any kind.
A timber in the hole and his own a
gility are what saved him.
The horses piled into the hole, one
on top of the other. Both were TAX

accounts for them not being cut up

that a large canvas band could be
placed around it. A tripod derrick
was used and many willing hands toll
ed on the rope and heaYed away with
a will, when the word was given. The
horses were in the hole about ftf-
ty-five minutes. Albert Budde must be
given the greatest credit for getting
the horess out as it was he who went
down into the hole with the horses
and adjusted the ropes and sings so
that they might be lifted out. Two or
three hundred people were at the
scene of the accident and the crowding|
of the by-standers added confusion and
retarded the work Of getting the hors
es out The police would get the
crowd away and as soon as the backs
of the police were turned the crowd
would wedge in again. Anton and
Mrs. Gabur were in the wagon at the
time of the accident and neither were
so much as scratched.

favor. The largest number on the
floor dancing at one time was sixty

the band was of their best and the
dancers appreciated it sufficiently to
encore nearly every number, especial
ly the waltzes, two steps, etc. In
entering the hall every gentleman
paid ten cents and was given two
dance tickets and then every time he
danced during the evening each gen
tleman paid five cents for every ap-
pearance on the dance floor. This

are trying ou- and will give a series

first number they did not make any
profit. They hope the next three
dances will be more largely attended.

NEW SLICING MACHINE

Otto H. Siewert has installed a
new meat cutting machine in his mar
ket. The machine is used for slic-
ing ham, dried beef and similar meat
it is almost noiseIess in operation
and cuts the meat to the thinness of
wafer. An automatic sharpener is
attached to the machine and the re
volving blade which cuts the meat
can be sharpened on both sides with
out removing it from the rest of the
machine. This machine is made by
Van BerkeI, Rotterdam, Holland.
