CHINESE ?TIQUETTE.
ll I? a Curious Mixture of Ceremony
and Deceit.
Very curious are SOASO o? the
rules of etiquette observed by Chi
namen. Emile Bard, who baa writ
ten a book on the subject of Ghineso
life, pays that in nibo cases out of
ten, however, the form of etiquette
bas replaced the, substance. With
tho Chinese a refusal or unpleasant
truth must be expressed evasively.
If a Chinaman does not wish to
Accommodate a friend he never
gives the true reason for his re
fusal, That would be disoourteous.
He. lies politely. The ceremonious
form? of expression used in ordinary
conversation seem very amusing to.
the European listener. It is u fixed
rule that one must speak of himself
and of all belonging to him in the
humblest of terms and use the most
exalted language ?n referring to tho
person or property of another.
Whether two mandarins or two beg
gars meet and accost each other
this is a sample of their conversa
tion: "What is your honorable
name?" "Your insignificant broth
er's ?aine is Wang." "Where 'is
your noblo dwelling?" "The hovel
in which I hide myself is in --
designating thc place. "How many
pseciou3 sons have you?" "I have
only five stupid little pjgs."
A Chinaman, wearing his finest
fown of silk, called at a house where
e; happened to disturb ? rat which
wa3 regaling itself out of o jar of
oil standing- oh a beam over the
door. In its Budden fright the rat
.upset tiie bil over the luckless vis
itor, ruining his fine raiment. While
the man was still pale with rage his
host appeared, and after the cus
tomary greetings the visitor ac
counted for his appearance in. this
wise: "As I was entering "your hon
orable dwelling I frightened your
honorable rat. While it was trying
to escape it upset your honorable
jar of oil over my poor and insig
nificant clothing. This explains the
contemptible condition in which I
?find myself in your honorable pres-!
C?ce." Oft':.
It is a gross offense to call a na
tivo by his name. A. superior may
do this, but he becomes furious ?
even a twin brother thus addresses
him. Ji must be either "honorable
elder brother" or "honorable youn
ger brother"-or-some' such form of
expression. Foreigners usually solve
the difficulty by applying to their
'servants the names o? their func
tions, as boy, corjiy, gardener, cook,
mafoo (coachman) and so on.

A LINCOLN STORY.
How Orin Major Generai Wa? Made
. During the Civil War.
During the civil war General But
terfield was sent to Washington to
discuss a certain plan of army opera
tions with President Lincoln. When
he appeared at the White House
Senator Sumner waa with tho presi
dent. In "A Biographical Memorial
of General Daniel Butterfield" tho
conversation between the senator
and the president is given.
'^Mr. President/' said the senator, I
"you hav ? issued an order which lias
relieved General Saxton from tho
command in front of Charleston
and placed General G?lmore in com
mand. General Saxton is very high
ly thought of,- and I am much inter
ested in him. He has a natural feel
ing of pride that the ranking officer,
should command.. General Saxton
?3 of higher rank than General Gill
more. He Ls Perfectly willing that
.General Gilimore should carry out
all plans and operations and does
not desire to interfere with them at
all, but with the pride and spirit
pf the old army officers he simply
?rlesires, and his friends desire with
-him, that the ranking- officer should
command. It will not interfere with
General Gilimore in carrying out thc
operations." -
"You say, Mr. Senator, that they
are both brigadier generals r'
''Yes, but General Saxton is , the
ranking officer."
* "Will it bo entirely satisfactory
to .you, Mr. Senator, and ali our
friends and to General Saxton if the
' 1 . ?V? . . _ . 'J__5 ?il?
Iranaing oniccr is m commana r *
"Perfectly so, Mr. President/'
"Very Well/' said Mr. Lincoln, "I
will arrange it. I will have General
I Gilimore made a major general"
It was hard to keep from laugh
ing, at the quick response. and tho
prompt action of the president in
'taking the senator upoeyhis proposi
tion and thus meeting it. Mr. Sum
ner bade the president good morn
ing and retired. ? .
"Xo longer able to repress. the
emotion the interview had caused,"
mites General Butterfield, . "I
laughed and remarked, 'Mr. Presi-,
dent, is that the way major generals
are made ?' "
Tho "frco of. tho Moat, Rapid Growth.
The eucalyptus, a genus of my rv
tacae, grows to a greater height ia a
shorter time than is the case , with
* any other known tree. The_ eucalyp
tus ha? increased its height by as
much as twenty-four feet in the
short space of three months and at
tains rapidly both a great height
and a large circumference. . These
trees fornv the preponderant and
most characteristic vegetation of tile
Australian forest, wnere they are
famed for their great heights, usu
ally ranging from 200 feet to 400
feet, while one ha's' been recorded a's
having attained nearly .500 feet,
with a circumference of 81 feet. An
oak tree in three years grows 2 feet
10% inches; a larch, 3 feet 7%
inches; an elm, 8 feet 3 inches; a
beech, 1 foot 8 inches; a Poplar, <3
feet; a willow, 9 feet 3'incnes. An
elm attains full growth in 150 years
and lives to 500 or Gdp. Ash is full
grown in 100 years, while it takes
200 years for oak and mahogany to
reach full height/; 1

SOME BUTTER TESTS

It ?8 a matter of common informa
tlou that oleomargarine ia sometimes
substituted for butter and that rancid
.iiid badly mudo butter ia frequently
melted, washed with soda and churned
with milk for the preparation of reno
vated or. process butter.
Methods aro avall?ble which, with a
little practice, may be employed to dis
tinguish between fresh butter, renovat
ed or process butter and oleomarga
rine. .;
Tho "spoon" test has been suggested
as a household test and la commonly
need by analytical chemists for distin
guishing freeh batter from* renovated
butter or oleomargarine. A lump c2
butter two or three times the atae ot a
peta la placed la a large spoon sud
lt ls then heated over an alcohol burn
er? ; If more convenient; the ap ooo may
bo held above'the chimney of an ordi
nary kerosene lamp, or lt may oven be
held over an ordinary Illuminating gas
burner. If tho sample ia question bo
fresh butter it will boll quietly with
the evolution of a large number of
tuna ll bubbles throughout the masa
which produce a large amount of foam.
Oleomargarine and process? butter, ou
the other hand, sputter and crackle,
making a noise similar to that, heard
when a green stick la placed in a fire.,
Another point of distinction ia noted if
a. ama ll portion of, the sample ls placed
in a amati bottle and eet in a vessel of
water sufficiently warm to melt the
sample. Tho sample is kept melted
from half an hour to an. hour, when lt
ia examined. If renovated butter or
oleomargarine, thc- rai will be turbid,
while it. genuine, fresh butter tho fat
Will almost certainly bo entirely clear.
To manipulate what ls known as the
Waterhouse, or milk, test about two
ounces of sweet milk ls placed in a
wide mouthed bottle, which is set bi
a vessel of bolling water. When the
milk Ls thoroughly heated a teaspoon-*'
fni of butter ls added and the mix
turo otlrred with a splinter of wood
until the fat ls melted. The bottle la
then placed Iii a dish of loo water and
the stirring continued until the fat
solidifies. Now, If the sample be but*
ter,'either fresh or. renovated,'it will
be solidified tn a granular condition
and distributed through tho milk in
small particles. If, on tho other hand,
the sample consists of oleomargarine
it solidifies practically in one piece and'
may bo lifted by the stirrer from the
milk.
Many persons believe that tho great
mass of tho fresh mea ?cid on the
market Is preserved chemically. This
Impression ls entirely unfounded. The
cold ?torn go facilities of the present
day siake the - use of m?eserva*4ves
with" fresh meat unnecessary, and the
larger packing houses do not employ
them.' lt sometimes happens that local
butchers sprinkle preservatives over,
a cut of meat In order, that tiley may
keep it exposed cn the block or hang
ing in a show window as an adver
tisement. The uso of chemical pre
servatives with fresh meat is confined
to this practice alone.
. ^Preservatives ore very commonly
??-*d .with chopped meats and sausages,
especially/ fresh sausage. They are t-1
way?" employed..-with*,canned Vienna
and I frankfurter sausages inclosed in
??aelnp? with the ends tied. Where the
ends are cat preservatives may be ab
sent. The reason for this ls that the
temperature required for the complete
Dterlilaotion of sausages willi either
burst or. distort * the skins when the
ends are tied, whereas sausages with
cut ends afford an opportunity for the
escape of the water and steam.
With many varieties of sausages,,
jfetth fresh and smoked, and with chop
ped meats of all descriptions, coloring
matter is sometimes employed. This ls
done partly for the purpose of satisfy
ing an unnatural demand for a high
Colored article and partly sometimes to
conceal the grayish color characteristic
of old meat, which should not be tiied
at all
' The preservatives employed with
meat products are boric acid, borax
and ss?pu?tes.;. ' xo detect, boric acid
about .a tablespoonful of the chopped
meat is thoroughly macerated with a
little water, pressed through a bag and ;

Never have children beeu dressed
so /com fortabiy and BO daintily aa now.
The mutcrinls are such as can bo wash
ed many times, aud tho very making
of the garments ls simple, but there Is
something in the whola pljjn that
makes them charming. Perhaps it ls
just tho simplicity. Frocks for girls of
that uncertain ago described by the
poet as "standing with reluctant feet
whero tho brook and river meet" aro
mudo so that they are at once girlish
and dainty, yet hare something of tho
form and finish of tho gowns of their
mothers. Duck, pique and a whole
host of other thick and washable cot?
tons uud several kinds of heavy linens,
white aud colored, aro mado iuto these
frocks. The waists are fastened at the
hack, but in front aro tho regulation
tucks and bloused shaper with tho
high collars and pointed bolts of the
elders. Skirts aro mado on the snmo
lures, some with a row plaits down
the breadths and others with horizontal
tucks, shirrs or rufllcs.
One dainty littla dress for a girl ot
fourteen bad two tucks* at tho edge
just the width of tho hem and a set of
clusters of plaits OD the upper part of
the skirt, which gave the lower por
tion of the skirt a pretty flare. Tho
blouse was tucked also in .clusters
which reached to thc bust Uno. Tho
garment was of very pale whitish blue
pique, and tho bolt was of ribbon,
which tied lu the back with long ends.
I Cuffs and collar were of lace.
Wash Frookn.
A very neat and dainty wash frock
for girls of any agc from ton to sixteen
was mad? of white swiss with coin
dots. There were two wide flounces
of tho swiss set on a foundation ot
plain-muslin and on upper skirt of the
dotted goods. The waist was bloused,
but was cut square at the throat, aud
had a largo yoke of loco coming out
well on the Bhoulders. The bishop
sleeve) reached just below the elbows
f and flalshed...there with ruffles of lace.
A pbik sash was draped to a point In
frone and tied at tho back in a large
bow, the enus of which reached the
foot of the skirt.
White dresses, white hats, made
washable; pink or blue sashes, whlto
shoos and stockings and tiny whlto
openwork gloves make the little ones
look so very dainty and sweet .that
"happy ls be that bath a quiver full of
them." Lace bats, openwork straw
hats and bats mado of mull or pique
aro seen. The flat bats with the pretty
flower wreaths are not qnite so popu
lar as the other kinds, hut the variety
allows' each taste and puree to be
Suited. 7 \'*>\
For very dressy wear there la a
frock of dotted white muli. The akjrt
ls made over a slip of white taffeta.
At the bottom of the skirt is a,deep
shirring of Taco heading the wrought
edge. This forms a deep flounce. The
waist bas a bertha made of tho lace,
edped in turn with a ruffle of Ano nar
row loco. This is shirred to tho neck
of the waist and cut out In vandyke
points. Tho Sleeves are shirred to the
elbows. Th's, ls dressy; enough for a.

whereby women lu? the country eau
earn money at home. It waa this com
mittee's day to report, and Professor
Theodora Hilton of thu State Agricul
tural college had been Invited to ad
dress tho club.
Miss Kirton began by saying that
sociologist* wcro seriously considering
the question of how, under civiliza
tion's present economic conditions, tho
feminine sex might earn money with
out necessarily breaking up tho borne
and ceasing to be mothers of families.
In case of the country home the pro
fessor thought this could be achieved
without great difficulty if farm women
would get out of ancient ruts, which
moan poverty and suffering, and be
come Intelligent enough to grasp the
J^new opportunities which nro certainly
before them. Much ot the most ex
quisito art textile Work and lacemak
Ing, embroidery and rug weaving, re
sulting in product*, for which tho
wealthy 'In this country pay fabulous
prices, is done In tho poor cottages of
peasants abroad by women with their I
?uiiii?es uround them.
Th* Hen Industry.
With tbat Introduction Professor Hil
ton went on to say there was a profit
able Industry peculiar!? adopted to
women on tho farm In which the prod
uct did not begin to supply tho demand
In the United Stn tes. This ls the poul
try business lu all Its departments.
Did tho ladles of the Farm Women's
club know that about 300,000 dozen
eggs aro annually Imported Into tho
States? At the Bame timo probably a
miillon farmers' wives ure straining
their lives out In suicidal toll, each
trying to conduct half a dozen trades
when tho present conditions of life de
mand that all the woman's energies
be concentrated on ono If there Is to
be success in anything. It ls the pres
ent scheme of tho great hen trust to
buy up for almost nothing the eggs In
summer and pnt them in cold storage
till winter, but strictly fresh eggs aro

always In demand at good prices. In
winter in the large cities they some
times reach 60 cents a dozen and are
not to he had at that
The woman who can successfully es
tablish a paying industry at home can.
afford to release herself from the grind .
of mere domestic work by hiring some
body else to do it while she devotes
her time and brains to money making.
"Don't sny thia Ia tho mere fancy of
an. unpractical student. It ia not,'1 em
phatically remarked' Professor Hilton.
Let the farm woman study systematic
and practical hen culture from books
and through experience. ' Let warm
quarters ' and suitable fresh food be
provided for Mme. Hen In winter, and
she will clear to her owner a profit of
I at least twice as much as she herself
ls worth. In the egg Industry the right
plan is to begin in a small but scien
tific way, learning as one goes along.
There, too, are ducks, geese'and tur
keys, all of which can be. made profit
able by the woman bf-intelligence.

Squab Raising.
In the large cities the supply of
young' pigeons for table us? bas never,
been equal to the demand. Like every
thing else, squab raising is compara
tively easy after one understands it
It ls best bf course to begin1 with a"
small outlay or money, gradually, en
larging the enterprise. Rather oddly,
while pigeon rearing - seems just tho
kind of "small business'.' n woman is
fitted for, the large squab farms are lu
almost every instance- conducted by
meal. There ls, however, a lady near
Philadelphia who makes a largo In
come from tho birds. '
A part of an ordinary barn loft would
do to begin. It should be set off to It
self. The birds breed f o u r or five times
a year if they are protected from tho
cold lh winter. Two essa are laid and
two young ones hatcher at a time.
One Of the great squab rearers of the
country receives, not lesa than $10,000
a year from the birds. Nearly half of
this is profit They sell at the rate of
about 50 cents a pair. Where much
profit ls to be had from the squabtv
special pigeon houses must bo mode.
These bird? require plenty of room and
fresh air .as well. ns plenty of water
and' exquisite cleanliness. The pigeon
ts a crank on . bathing,
v The pigeon house that ls most ap
proved bas a large flying cage attach
ed. It ia made of ordinary meshed
wire netting. Ten feet high, twenty
five feet long and eighteen feet Vide
are good dimensions for a flying cage.
There are booka. that give instructions
for squab raising.
