The secretary said that the following

The Tariff Boards secretary had, OF

YUAN READY TO DON
AMERICAN CLOTHES
Chinese President To Quit Orien-
tai Costume For Garb Of
The Occident.

PEKING, March 22.--The spectacle of
dignihed Yuan Shi Kai, whose robes
of state in the past have eclipsed all
other Oriental dlgnitaries, wearing Sc
we're and decidedly unbeautiful Garb
of the Occident, will be presented the
next time the new President walks
abroad. 1t developed today that he has
had an American tailor fashion him
various suits OF clothes and that he is
practCing moving about in them in the
seclusiOn of his apartments.
Like the denuded skull, American
clothing is today considered the badge
of radiCalism. No one knows this better
than Yuan, and he Is too clever dip
lomnt not to realize that nothing will
so emphasize his changed order and
changed beliefs as to appear publicly
in the garments affected by Americans
and Europeans generally. But II has
taken a long time for the President to
overcome his native prejudice.

soLAcE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days Of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger is always
beside them, and they are schooled -
believe that at any time they may
come face to face with death. The re-
suit of this is that they are humorous
in their holiness.
In one of the mines Of Pennsylvania
there was a cave-in which imprisoned
miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon. and the fellow laborers Of the
entombed man set to work at once TO
dig him out. It was not until Sunday
morning. however, that they reached
his prison chamber, and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suffocated or starved to death
One of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks OF
the rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you ali right?"
"All right" came the reply, and then
after a pause: What day is this?"
Sunday" exclaimed the friend.
"Geel" exclaimed Jack. I'm glad Of
that. That was one Saturday night

POOR AS A CHURCH MOUSE
Saying Has More Meaning Than

The sexton of fashionable New

large mound the bright purple, red
and yellow discs of confetti which lit
tered the church entrance and steps.
This month" he said, Il have had
already 35 weddings in my church.
And at every one of these weddings
paper confetti was thrown at the
bride instead of rice.
The confetti fashion is very wei.
come to us sections. When rice was
used our churches were overrun with
mice. The saying, AS poor as a
church mousse was then meaningless
Why, IL my church, where weddings
are so popular, several hundreds OF
mice-fat chaps they were, too
found an ample food supply in the
rice that was sprinkled over the
brides.
Now that rice has been aban-
doned for paper confetti, these mice
have all disappeared. They were
starved out. They couldn't live on
paper"
Bending with difficulty to collect a
few obstinate pieces of the bright pa.
per confetti that stuck to the floor,
the old sexton added:
'Of course, these bits of paper are
much more awkward for me to sweep
up than rice. But, even so, hope the
confetti fashion has come to stay"

SOME LUNCHEON DISHES.

These dishes are suitable for either
luncheon or supper:
When there are bits of leftover
chicken (not enough for a meaD pre-
pare it by cutting It In small pieces,
add to white sauce and a cupful of
tender cooked celery. Serve on
rounds of buttered toast.
When there are a few slices of cold
roast pork left from dinner, chop and
mix with equal parts Of celery, add
dressing and serve on lettuce leaves.
Veal and lamb are equally good
served in this way.
Milk toast is a most delicious dish
for supper. Prepare the toast not
later than FIVE minutes before serv-
ing; dry II in the oven until hot, then
toast a golden brown; dip the edges
into hot water to soften, spread gen.
erously with butter and pour over a
white sauce made Of two tablespoon
fuls each Of butter and -four cooked
together and a cup Of thin. cream or
rich milk added. Two cups viii be
needed for a large dish Of toast. A lit
tie grated cheese of pronounced flavor

ing adds to 1t.

Fish chowder is another dish which
may be served at almost any meal
except breakfast.
Hash served in mounds with a
poached egg on each Is a nice way to
serve both of these common dishes.

with cheese or mixed with hard
cooked eggs varies that time-honored
dish. The addition Of few fresh
mushrooms is relished by most.

PICKING TIME.

Every frugal housekeeper likes 70
have her shelves well stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods
that much Of the work has been given
up; but we all have a Few time-hon-
ored and handed-down recipes which
we prepare each year. The following
are few which are old and reliable:
To Can Green Corn Wlthout Cook
Ina.-Take nine cups of corn cut from
the cob, have the corn Just picked

and cup of cold water; mix all to-
gether and place In sterilized cans,

beets chopped, two cups Of sugar, Ia
Jblespoonful of salt, teaspoonful OF
white pepper. half teaspoon Of red
pepper and a cup CT grated horserad-
ish; mix all together and add enough
vinegar to make 1t moist. Can cold.
Canned Red Pepperss--These dell
cious little appetizers which cost too
much In the winter tc have often. may
be canned successfully at home. First,
raise your own sweet peppers. and
when ready to can. wash and cut In
strips with the scissors, cover with
boiling water and let stand five min,
utes; drain and plunge into ice wa.
ter to cover, in which there is large
piece of ice. Again drain and pack
into pint Jars. To one quart Of vine

eether fifteen minutes and pour over
the peppers until overlooking; seal

v.l,ow Fever Germ.

The theory that mosquitoes convey
the disease known as yellow fever"
is many years old, but it was not I'M
til the year 1895 that 1t was proven
to be true. During that year Major
Ronald Ross. working in India along
the lines of Sir Patrick Manson's the
ory, demonstrated that mosquitoes of
the genus called anopheles clarifer
conveyed the disease. In 1898 ex-
periments in Cuba and other parts Of
the world established similar con-
clusion. 1t is in consequence Of this
discovery that the dread disease is
now being so largely checked in the
countries where 1t has hitherto been
SO destructive OF human life.

Cheese was made by the old-time
farmers in the summer on the coop

ers owning say IA mich cows. received
all the milk night and morning, ac-
cording to the daily yield Of their
little herd. Thus given two families
having i've cows each, one with three
and one with one. supposing that the
average yield per COW was the same,
in two weeks, two owners would make
five cheeses each; one would press
three. and one only one Geese, but
this one would be as good and as large
