WHAT THEY EAT IN CHINA.
Wheat a Censral Article of Food as Wed
as Hies.
1 Although rice Is' generally regarded
by tho Chinese as the “staff of life," a
largo quantity of wheat has been used
from the most ancient times, and In
the earliest class locations wheat is
tn*the° northern D provln<les,^whonTrlce
Is not rrown and ran only ho pur¬
chased „/ the well to do. wheat is the
most common cereal, but It la of a very
poor quality. Blasted heads are seen
tn large numbers every year and ergo¬
tism Is a too frequent cause of disease
among the poor.
The wheat Is ground In a very prlmi-
tlve process. The mill consists of two
light stones, which are turned liy ul-|
of a blindfolded mul*?. Tim; flour in
coarse and vermicelli, dark, chiefly used in tho
form of and, when steamed,
makes good sutistitnto for rice, nnfl
when mixed with a little broth, flay-
ored with a dash of soy, tt forms a
very savory dish. Tons, tlie Chinese
term, they are the "suspended” and
the "dropped;” the former In the true
vermicelli, the manufacture of wld h
is a common sight In many northern
Villages, where strings of the paste,
fastened at the ends of two light
sticks, are suspended before the doors
of the cottages even In the main
streets. Tho strings are generally
lengthened by pulling down "little by
little” the lower stlek, a dozen or
twenty atrltiKu b.'iny fast.n.'d to <vh
pair If sticks The chopped vernil-
relll la made by rolling om the dough
and cutting It In thin strtpa with a
knife fastened like n si raw chopper.
Wheat (lour Is also used for imiking
rolls or patties; the latter are dipped
and these are cooked by steaming, as
are the many varieties of patties con¬
taining minced meat, tnolaa a s, or
a kind of Jam. Tho Htcatn.-r consists
of sieves, titling tightly one upon an-
othcr, which arc covered and placed
over the kettle In which the meat or
other food Is being cooked.
Tho ordinary Chin, o, whether in
city or village, takes his breakfast at
the tea house or restaurant. It con¬
sists almost entirely of tin e meat
rolls or patties, the latter are dlppt 1
In vinegar, soy, or n solution of red
pepper, when eaten. Horn, times the
steamed rolls, after they have grown
old. are made palatable by being
toasted on a grill over a charcoal Art.
Another popular dish Is doughnut
fried In oil. Raking Is almost unknown,
but there Is a cake of the size and
shape of an ox rib which tn baked by
hotng stuck on the Inside of a Jar-
slinpcd furnace, in which there Is a
hot charcoal fire. These cakes are
sometimes circular, but lu every cane
they urn covered with the re .D of tho
aesame, 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 hotter quality of native
pastry and confectionery, rice flour hi
used, hut at tho treaty porta and the
Cities to which foreign Influence lias
extended, many forms of sweet, cake
and biscuit are made of American
flour. Even for purely native varieties
of rolls and cakes the American flour
Is now preferred on account of Us
whiteness and wholesomciess.
Oitrlch Chicks.
The baby ostriches are little, fluffy,
brown birds about the size of well-
grown pullets. They soon lose tlnlr
infantile attractiveness, however, as In
three months they have grown to bu
tall, ugly and quurrelsotne. For two
days after It Is hatched the ostrleh
fbicK can’t ho tempted to eat any-
thing, then he suddenly develops an
appetite for gravel. Mis infant palate
relishes nothing hut (title stones of tho
size of marrow fat pens and hits of
ground bone, and It is a week or two
before he will pick at the alfalfa or
Clover'blossoms that Is spread around
him. An ostrich s span Is like that of
mankind—three score and ten.

About tho only thing done at the

for to, II... in, ore ion, id,mt it that that the the report i, poit grew gi. w
out of the fact that Heeretury (.age

prove an embarrassment to tho presi-

In amending the present national

actuated by a desire to secure absolute

notes uniform and of equal currency
in all parts of the country to ereuto

mission propose that notes beyond this

within a few years that no special
bond security should be required.
Banks may issue notes up to sixty
per cent, of their capital without re¬

pay a tax of two percent.; for tlioso

banks issuing notes contribute fivo

manent guaranty fund. For daily re-
demptions, banks are required to keep
a five per cent, redemption fund in the
hands of tbe Comptroller of the Cur-
reney. Banks of #25,000 capital may
be established in places of 400 inhab¬

EMBEZZLER MABRY CAPTURED.
Makes Desperate attempt at Suicide In
Snviitini.li Prison.
F. H. Mabry, the Southern Express
company's former agent at Brunswick,
who skipped out with something over
315,000, was captured by three Savan¬
nah detectives upon a telegram from
Superintendent C. L. Myers Saturday
afternoon about fonr miles from Savan-
nali on the Ogeechee road and was
placed in a cell in the city barracks.
Ha van nab was startled Sunday had morn-
ing by the report that Mabry oil-
deavored to commit suicide in his cell
at tbe police barracks, from which bo
was to have been taken back to
Rrnnswick in charge of officers of tbe
luw.
Rather than return to face his many
former friends as an embezzler and a
criminal, be decided to take bis own
life. Some time Sunday morning, It
is supposed about 4 o’clock,be opened
his left wrist with a penknife,severing
one of the arteries, and making a jag-
ged cut iu it, as wan afterwards found,
for about an inch. It was 5:30 o’clock
when he was discovered. The door to
tile Corridor of the barracks was open-
,.,l about flint hour, dud the keeper
passing MabryV cell noticed his cou-
dilion and hurriedly gave the alarm,
A physician was summoned and an
examination showed that he had lost
about a pint of blood, and was totally
unconscious.
The physician had him taken up,
cot and all, disturbing him as little as
possible, for fear that another hem-
orrbage would result, ami sent to tbe
.Savannah hosjiial, where bis wound
was dressed and lie finally recovered
consciousness. When Mabry was re-
covering from his stupor at the bos-
pjtal, he turned to the policeman who
was there with him ns n guard and
begged him to kill liim—to shoot him
