WHAT THEY EAT IN CHINA.
Wheat a Ceneral Article of Food as Wei'
as Hice.
Although rice Is generally regarded
by the Chinese as the "staff of life," a
largo quantity of wheat has been used
from the most ancient times, and In
the earliest classifications wheat is
mentioned as one of the five grains,
in the northern provinces, where rice
Is not grown and can only be pur-
chased by the well to do, wheat Is the
most common cereal, but It Is of a very
poor quality. Blasted heads are seen
In large numbers every year and ergo-
tlsm Is a too frequent cause of disease
among the poor.
Thc wheat Is ground In a very prlrnl-
tlve process. The mill consists of two
light stones, which are turned by aid
of a blindfolded mule. This flour is
coarse and dark, chiefly used in tho
form of vermicelli, and, when steamed,
makes good substitute for rice, and
when mixed with a little broth, flav-
orod with a dash of soy, it forms a
very savory dish. To use the Chinese
term, they arc the "suspended” and
the "dropped;" the former in the true
vermicelli, the manufacture of which
is a common sight in many northern
villages, where string.', of the paste,
fastened at the ends of two light
stlcks, are suspended before the doors
of the cottages even in the main
streets. The string: are generally
lengthened hy pulling down "little by
little" the lower stick, a dozen or
twenty strings being fastened to each
pair If sticks. Tho chopped vcnnl-
celli is made by rolling; out the dough
and eutling it In thin strips will) a
knife fastened like a straw chopper.
Wheat flour Ih also uaec] for making
rolls or patties; tho latter are dipped
and these are cooked hy steaming, as
are the many varieties of patties con-
talnlng mimed wr it, mohw.r» t or

Another popular dish Is doughnut
fried In oil. Baking b-almost, unknown,
but there Is a rake of the size and
shape of an ox rib which Is linked by
being stu,'k on the Inside of a jnr-
shaped furnace, til which there ts a
hot charcoal fire. These cakes are
sometimes circular, but lu every ease
they are covered with the i <- -ds of the
sesame, which add very much to the
flavor. Another variety Is a large round
cake cooked on a griddle, and
which Is divided Into quarters when
offered for sale. The Mohammedan
Chinese make a similar cake, of which
they are very fond, without using any
pork fat.
For the better quality of native
pastry and confectionery, rlee flour is
used, hut at the treaty ports and the
cities to which foreign influence has
extended, many forms of sweet, cake
and biscuit are made of American
flour. Even for purely native varieties
ot rolls and c.k. s the America,, flour
is now preferred on account of Its
whiteness and wholcsomeness.

DOGS THAT DRAW LOADS.

CIUcm and FAnnori' produce In Rural
District.—Stringent Pollen Uegulatlan*
Tho use of the dog as a draught an-
imol is steadily Switzerland increasing in Belgium,
Germany, and tuo Nether-
lands, according to recent consular
reports, in spite of tho strenuous op*
position of the Society for the Prevent
tion of Cruelty to animals, and uot-
withstanding the severe discrimination
against the dog-owner in all highway
privileges and expenditures. The dog,
says tho New York Post, 1ms proved
to be so peculiarly adapted to tho needs
of tho small farmer and the trades-
man, and, withal, so easily acquired
and so willing and cheap a servant,
that the transportation of small quan-
titles of merchandise through him short
distances is chiefly done by hauls in
Ult>ao countries. In tho cities lie
the delivery carts of the butcher, the
grocer, the baker, tho milkman and
tho shopkeeper; in the rural districts

to the market, and does many an odd
service that commonly falls to tho lot

j ness is, of cotirso, strictly limited, by
j his strength no less than by the police
regulations, to “small teaming,” but
Dirt worth is evidont in his persistent
numerical increase. ft e,osts nothing
to train n draught dog, little to feed
him and but little more to possess
him; lio in liouaed without inoouveni-

faithfully and well, and in these po-
tent considerations lies the explaim-
tion of bis widespread use. harnessed
Tho draught dogs are
from two to six abreast to a two or
four-wheeled cart. When a single under- dog
ia uso<l, ho is hitched to a shaft
neath the cart, and merely aids tho
driver, who, pushing from behind,
does tho greater part of the work.
Tho harness is simple, consisting of a
broad strap, or breast collar, of
leather, passing around the breast and
tapering back about three feet on
each side, lengthened by attached traces of
cord or leather, which arc to
tho whiffletree. The collar is hold in
place by a back-band and girth, and
the leatlior muzzle, whioli all dogs, in
or out o/harness, are required to wear
at all seasons when outside their own-
ors ’ premises, serves as a bridle, and
eomplotos the working gear. Tho two-

MONETARY COMMISSION’S REPORT
Ma.le hy Authority of the
lin.iDBM Man’. Convention.
The report of the Monetary Commis-
sion appointed under authority of the
convention of business men, held in
Indianapolis last January, has just stand- been
made public. The existing gold
ard on which business has been done
since 1879 is maintained on the ground

tuinty as to what the standard shall be.

i-tutes should remove all uncertainty
as to tho meaning of “coin” in its ob¬
ligations, thereby saving the taxpayer
by the ability to borrow at a lower rato
of interest. No attempt is made to re-
move the existing silver dollars,nor to
change their legal tender quality; on
the contrary, a plnce is provided for
them in the circulation by forbidding
the issuo of any paper money other than
siiver certificates in denominations be-
low $ 10 .
It is regarded by tho Commission as
dangerous to maintain the present
practice obligations of using Government demand
as money.
The Commission, therefore, strongly
urge the Government to withdraw its
demand obligations now used as
money, decline to provide gold for ex-
porters and put the burden and ex-
pense of maintaining a redeemable
paper circulation upon tho banks. In
order to meet the demand obligations,
the present reserves of gold in the
Treasury furnish a sufficient sum to
bo set aside in a Division of Issue
ayd Redemption; and tho Secretary of
the Treasury is authorized to sell
bonds whenever the reserves need re-
pleiiishment: In this way, or from

the country can be reduced, with the
result of simplifying our currency,

of the Commission the withdrawal of
Government paper is so arranged that
contraction cannot possibly take place;
if United States notes are cancelled
their place will be taken by the gold
paid out for them, or hy the expansion
of banknotes.
The demand obligations of the
United States were not a money
based on property; they were only a
debt. On the other hand, a banknote
is never issued (fraud, of course, ex-
eluded) except fora consideration in
negotiable property of equal or greater
value. The bank note comes forth ns

and is based on the active property of

IShick Skirt With Fancy Waist,
The question “What is the fashion-

waist?” is perhaps more often asked
than nny other by the woman who
makes one skirt answer for many oe-

that rich black satin is given the pref-
eronce where only one skirt is found

Hut if you already havo that, then
plain black taffeta, often much
trimmed from waist to hem, is the
newest and most fashionable. But a
word of warning. This not only is an
extravagant purchase, but after coin-
paratively few wearings will split,
even where there is no real strain.—

An Adjustible Name.
"The Syracuse Post” says that a girl
baby was recently brought to a clergy¬
man of that city to be baptised. The
latter asked the name of the baby.
"Dinah M.," the father responded.
"But v/hat does the ‘M.’ stand for?”
interrogated the minister.
“Well, I do not know yet; it all
depends upon how she turns out.”
"How she turns out? Why, I do not
understand you," said the dominie.
“Oh, if she turns out nice and sweet
aud handy about the house, like her
mother, I shall call her Dinah May.
But if she has a fiery temper and dis¬
plays a bombshell disposition, like
mine, I shall call her Dinah Might.
A New Crop in California.
Olive growing is attracting more and
more attention each year on the Pa¬
cific coast. The crop has so far been
very profitable, prices have been good
and the demand an increasing one.
Growers are paying especial attention
to the best varieties for pickles and foi
oil, and at the present rate of tree¬
planting it will not be long before
California not alone supplies the home
demand, but will enter the wodrld's
markets as an exporter.—New Eng¬

A Proof of Death.
No one disputed the dictum of a
Chinese physician, called to attend a
Celestial, who had fainted in a store
in Portland, Oregan, when the doctor
said, after filling the prostrate man’s
mouth and nose with red paint: "Him
blow paint, him all same not yet dead;
him no catch ’im wind, no blow paint,
him heap dead.” The man did’nt blow
out the paint and the coroner was
called.
A Beautiful Skin
is one of the chief requisites of an attractive
appearance. eruptions, Rough, red dry, and scaly unsightly patches, little ring¬
blistery worms—these would spoil the beauty of
a
veritable Venus. They are completely and
quickly cured by Tettorine. 50 cents a box at
