China and the Bean.

The bean plays an important part in
Chinese domestic economy, and, ac-
cording to East and West News, one
Of the specially desired qualifications
Of the Chinese matron, throughout the
northern provinces, is her ability to
concoct from beans-green, black and
yellow-thOse staple dishes that the
Chinese know as ten feu and lang
fen.
The bean seldom appears on the
Chinese table whole; it is not consid-
cred as fit for food until it has been
reduced to it's essences and put up in
the form Of bean curd, or bean gelatin,
which are for sale in every roadside
fOodshop of northern China.
The art of producing these nourish-
Ing foods, which are the meat of the
poor. is to the rural Chinese woman
what the making of butter, cheese
and jam Is to the Occidental house.
wife. In the large cities bean ma
nipulation of that sort is a craft and
Q commercial activity, just as the MAX
ing of jam and butter is in the large
cities Of the West; but it can hardly
be called an industry, since it is still
quite without organization. The beans
must be crushed, soaked, baked, boil
ed, strained, and so on, before the es-
sences appear.

BELOVED OF NEW WORKERS
Washington Square, Gothamites Claim,
Is Without Its Equal in the
World for Atmosphere"

Here, say the New York men of as
celtic faces and the women of soulful
eyes, we have what our lives have
long sought. Trafalgar square hasn't
got it, the Place de la Concorde is too
French, the parks and esplanades of
Rio come a little closer. But here,
in charming, quaint old Washington
square, we have-atmosphere.
Here, says the Philistine, is nice
place to flop while read the comics
in this mornings paper. In the cor
ner is a comfortable bench over which
the shade Of a full-grown maple
stretches soothingly. And there is a
kid who will shine my shoes for q
nickel.
Here, says the weary one, is place
where the cops might let me alone.
Not much chance for a handout, but
I might steal a snooze over there by
the fountain. All, pleasant grass |;
pretty flowers.
Here, says the mother, is pretty
good place to leave the kids while I
sneak down to the avenue for yard
or two of calico. Now, mind, don't stir
from this bench. Mike, give the baby
his bottle if he gets to crying.
Here, says the visitor, is the Wash
ington arch. How interesting! It
must weigh several tons at least. Now
will some one tell me how get to
Cooper Union from here?

The Dense Oriental.

At dinner in Edinburgh, says e. v.
Lucas, Baron Kickuchi, principal Of
Toxic university, was a guest. An
Englishman present told the story of
Scotsman who went to his dentists
with an aching tooth and was asked If
he would have gas; he replied that he
would, but should like to count his
money first. Everybody laughed but
the baron. A Scotsman attempted to
explain the joke as to the alleged fol-
bles of his race; the baron remained
impassive. Others tried, but the baron
said, II do not understand" Finally
he stopped the explanations. "Gentle-
men," he said, "you do not understand
what I do not understand" His lis
teners gave rapt attention. "What 1
do not understand" he went on, 'fs
not why the Scotsman said what he
did, but how any Scotsman should not
know, at any time, without having to
count it, how much money he has in
his pockets" The laugh was on the
hosts of the "dense" oriental.-From

TO TRAIN CHILDISH MIND
Parents Can Do Much to Assist De-
VeIopment During the First
Six Years of Life.

What definite means can the home
adopt for the best development of the
child in the first six years Of his life?
First, with regard to the things which
surround the child-furniture, pic
lures, books, toys, clothes and orna-
ments. In how far may these lend
themselves to his development?
In the room in which the child
spends most Of his time indoors, the
furniture ought to be plain enough SO
that he can do no great harm in play
ing freely about. A small kindergar-
ten chair and table to work on are
almost indispensable in the childs
room. A good blackboard should be
hung securely on the wall, for from
the hour he can tOddle the child will
delight in chalk markings, and these
even then will have value because of
the muscle development afforded the
arm and hand.
The pictures on the wall in the
child's room ought to be distinctly for
him, and hung low enough so that he
may take them down and handle them
whenever he chooses. Every child
likes color and delights in the "story
picture" the picture which has a story
connected with it.
The child may be taught to discrimi-
nate between his own things and those
belonging to others by being allowed
to visit the family living room where
mothers and fathers books and their
pictures and furniture are used with
care and caution. In this way it will
also be possible to lead him gradually
into an appreciation of the adults
standard of art in pictures. music and
literature.

The Worlds Holidays.

According to statistics drawn up by
the Guaranty Trust company Of New
York. during the present year there
are only eighty-four days on which
banks are open everywhere in the
world. On every one of the other PSI
days some nation somewhere will be
celebrating a civil or religious holi-
day, or observing the Sabbath. Only
one of these holidays is universal.
This is New Years day, and eleven
different dates are observed by vari-
Gus countries as the beginning of a
new year. Some countries observe
more than one during the calendar
year. Five Christian countries do not
observe Christmas as q legal holiday.

Driest Place on Earth.

The city of Payta, in Peru, is the
driest place on earth. 1t is within
five degrees of the equator, and the in.
habitants see a shower on the average
of about once in two years. Frequent.
ly, six or eight years elapse between
rainfalls, but when a shower does
come, it lasts usually from u to &c
hours. Strange as it may seem, there
are seven species of annual plants
which exist in this place, and the ma.
tives raise a kind of cotton with extra
long roots, which go down far into the
soil and obtain moisture from the bed
Of an old, dried-up river which once
ran through Payta.

What Every Poet Knows.

The man of prOsaic mind thinks that
composition is a matter Of so arrang-
ing words that they shall convey a
meaning that is the sum of their sep
arate meanings. But the poet knows
better. He knows that it is a matter
of so ordering them that they shall
suggest verbally inexpressible mean
ings between the lines; that they shall
quite literally, set spirits to dancing
from sentence to sentence, flashes OF
intellectual electricity to leaping from
page to page, faces to peeping forth al
the reader from behind the letters like
children from behind tree-trunks.-
Harold Goddard, in Atlantic.
