HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION.
Hints and Suggestions Pertaining to
a Variety of Matters in the
Domestic Realm.
Nothing is more refreshing after a
cold walk or drive than a glass of
genuine Russian tea. Its effects are
more stimulating than ordinary teas,
although the slight nourishment af
forded by the cream used is missing
in the Russian tea. Make the tea in
the usual way, steeping a little longer.
Fill thin glasses two-thirds full of
cracked ice, add a squeeze of lemon and
a thin slice of the same, sugar if de
sired, and pour in the steaming tea.
The ice should be fine enough to cool
the tea at once to the proper temper
ature for drinking.
An ingenious cook keeps cracker
boxes, 3 inches by 12 inches in size,
to bake loaf cakes in. Of course, the
quick baking cakes are not indicated,
but when a cool or slow oven is re
quired the boxes run no risk of burn
ing. and the paraffine paper with which
they are lined prevents the cake from
sticking. The size and shape are ex
actly right for slicing.
Occasionally, rays the New Ycvk
Post, a friendly reader sends a tried
recipe to this column, which courtesy
is greatly appreciated. As often as
not, however, the directions given are
not as clear as they should be, and
sometimes an important ingredient is
omitted. On at least one occa«ion such
a recipe was published, to the tindoing
of any reader who may have attempted
it. The suggestion is therefore offer
<*(1 that those readers who are kind
enough to send recipes and other con
tributions pay particular attention to
accuracy.
An example of the obscurity with
which unpractised writers often clothe
their expressions if* taken from a
well-known household magazine. Its
cryptic utterance has been puzzled over
and finally given up as incomprehen
sible.
"I always had conscientious scruples
against destroying in their absence
the useless articles treasured by the
children, and by them designated under
the genA’ic term 'things.' Now I buy
them in bulk for a few cents, and the
children recognize my right to do what
I choose with my own.”
The question is, what useless arti
cles are useful enough to be bought at
all, and where are they to be had in
bulk for a few cents?
Encourage the children in spring
gardening. Window gardens pur
chased ready made at the florists’ are
poor things beside the ones made and
planted at home, with flowers grown
from seeds. Sow in pots about the
10th of March, dwarf nasturtiums,
sweet peas, zinnias and other simple
flowers, sprinkle with water, and set
in a sunny place. In a very short time
the tiny shoots will appear, and bv the
time other plants are ju-t beginning
to appear, these will be in bud.
A window garden often more delight
ful to city children than those filled
with flowers is one in which radishes,
onions, and lettuces are planted. Beans
should not be omitted either, as the
vines are really beautiful. The ent husi
asm of children over these vegetables
will surprise one who observes it for
the first time. If planted about this
time real crops may l>e gathered be
fore summer vacations begin. Give
up a sunny window somewhere in the
house to a baby vegetable garden.
VOICE INDEX OF EREEDING.
Ease and Skill in Change of Pitch De
notes Training in the
Speaker.
One* evidence of gentle breeding is a
Well-modulated \oice Thomas Went
worth Higginson said: “Shut me up in
a dark room with a mixed multitude,
and I ca* pick out thegentlefolk by their
voices." In the compass of every Voice,
says Success, there are three ngisters
—the middle or throat, the lower or
chest and the upper or head register.
The use of the middle pitch for talking
is very desirable, but the \< ice should
be trained to slide up and down, varying
with the emotions; low . when the mood
inclines toward seriousness, and higher
when it becomes tinged with excitement.
An interesting speaker constantly
changes his pitch; not abruptly, but
with ease and skill, and the greater
range one has the more certain he is to
get and retain the pleased attention of
listeners. Our high-pitched, strident
voices are sharply criticised, and it is
quite within our power to change them.
1 confess to liking a bit of slang now
and then from a young- man's mouth. It
sounds racy, adds snap ar.d spice if used
judiciously, and a few of Us terms are
pithy and expressive, but when a girl
uses slang it only sounds common What
is becoming to one sex is not ne<*efsari]y
so to the other. When we see a woman
who laughs and talks loudly In public
places, we put a severe strain upon our
charity and judgment not to think her
vulgar. When to the conventional
“How do you do?” she replies “Fine!"
we know on just what rung of the so
cial ladder to put her.
Only Occasionally.
On a very rainy day an American in
London got into an omnibus. Very soon
he noticed that drops of w ater were pat
tering down upon his head from the
roof. At that moment the conductor
entered to collect the fares.
“What's the matter with the roof?”
said the damp passenger. “Dees it do
this always?”
No, sir,’ replied the conductor;
"only when it rains.”

Seoul, Korea, Friday, April 1. via
Shanghai. April 5.—The Japanese first
army, consisting of 45,000 men, in
cluding the imperial guard, and the
second and twelfth divisions, which
had been concentrated at Anju, is mov
ing on Wiju by three routes.
It was the advance guard, composed
of 450 infantry and cavalry, which re
pujsed ti"o Russians ar.d occupied Ping
Ju (Chang Ju), 65 miles southeast of
Wiju. March 28.
Lieut. Kato and four Japanese w'ere
killed on that occasion, and Capt. Ku
rowaka and 11 men were wounded. The
Russians had ten men killed.
Small infantry garrisons, with hos
pitals. etc., make Ping Yang the ter
tiary' and Chinapho the secondary
liases. Supplies are being landed at Hai
Ju and Chinampho. and are also being
taken by ju/iks up the Ching-Chien
river to Anju. The horses. 5,200 to a
division, were landed in bad condition.
The necessity for landing each horse
reduces the strength of the fighting
force. Many of the soldiers are suf
fering from the effects of frozen feet.
The Japanese are fortifying Fu San,
southern Korea, and Konje island, off
the southern coast, to defend Masam
pho. The Russians overestima'ed the
strength of the Japanese force at Anju,
and consequently retreated without
making use of the natural advantages
of the country to oppose the Japanese
advance.
There are persistent rumors here of
the landing of Japanese troops on the
Liao Tung peninsula and in the vicin

St. Petersburg, April 6.—The state
ment by Capt. Stepanoff of the Variag,
at Odessa, April 2, regarding the ar
tion of the commander of the United
States gunboat Vicksburg at Chemulpo
was reprinted here Tuesday. It is be
lieved the statement will put an end
to the discussion of the ini ident which
has been the cause of so much irrita
tion in Russia. The Zeitung says:
“Capt. Stepanoff has done well to ex
plain the truth. It has never been to
Russia’s interest to make enemies, al
though foolish Chauvinisism often has
done so. Russia has every reason to
express her sincere thanks and recog
nition for the humane and noble bear
ing of every power represented at Che
mulpo.”
Capt. Stepanoff, in the statement re
ferred to in the above dispatch, said:
“At the time the Vicksburg was sta
tioned at Chemu.lpo her captain held
aloof. He took no part in the eonfer
ence of protest preceding the fight, for
the simple reason that he was not in
vited to d6 so. After the fight, like
the others, he sent a surgeon with a
boat to the rescue. As regards his
not taking Russian seamen aboard the
Vicksburg, this was unnecessary, and it
Is more than probable that Capt Rudi
