WILDER (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) When I first arrived in Shanghai It was something of a shock to hear our honorable consul general say to the boy when sending upstairs for a friend to come down to my room, "Boy, go topside, look-see can ketchee Mr. M. Sposie have got, tellee come down­ side," to which the boy answered as seriously, "Can do," and disappeared. A story is told in Shanghai of a Rus­ sian diplomat who fell in love with a charming German lady. Unfortunate­ ly neither could Bpeak the other's lan­ guage and were at a standstill as to how they were going to conduct the love-making. They could both talk pigeon English, however, and fell back on that. When anyone in China makes a contract they say "Can putee in book," so the Russian, looking unutter­ able love at his fair lady, rooed soft­ ly, "My likee you--sposee you likee my, can putee in book?" To which she shyly answered, "Can do," and they were married. • • • • • • I found that in point of advancement in the drama the Chinese could not be compared with the Japanese. The stage is merely a raised plat­ form with a row of gas lights across the front, each little jet blinking for­ lornly at the top of a piece of pipe that sticks bravely up for four or five Inches. Another row of lights is over the stage, and at the back two cur­ tained doorways complete the entire stage arrangements. The play begins at seven, and short­ ly after that time the tables on the ground floor are fully occupied by Chi­ nese sipping the tea that is an inevi­ table part of every entertainment, so­ cial call or business meeting. One dollar, Mexican, pays the en­ trance fee, entitles one to a place at one erf the tables, a program and tea all the evening. Extra, refreshments, such as fruit, nuts, sweets and the enter, and painted and gorgeously robed actors are Bhrieking (apparent­ ly out of the top of their, heads) ia falsetto voices. The prbgress of the play Is highly amusing to a foreigner, for, there be­ ing no curtain, the action is never in­ terrupted even though the stage hands are on the stage quite as much as the actors. This seems at first rather a useless performance, but after awhile one rea­ lizes that if an actor didn't give some idea of who he was, and what he in­ tended to do, it would be difficult to pick him out and follow his perform­ ance amid the confusion and bustle of hands arranging or removing properties and make-oeneve scenic effects. Though there is no scenery there are crude attempts at properties. For instance, a piece of muslin laid down to represent a river; -e^furtain hung from two bamboo poles held by coolies is a temple gate; draped chairs and tables are rocks and mountains, and a boat is tnade of two chairs with a pit of cloth stretched between. When an actor is supposed to enter on horseback be prances in, curvet­ ting handsomely. The whole perform­ ance is singularly reminiscent of child­ ish days, when "let's pretend" turned everything to exciting realities. When the actor has informed -the audience what he is going to do he retires, and then jrnakes his proper en­ trance, going through all the details as he has promised them. As he climbs over the mountains, or gets out of his boat, the stage hands quickly remove them, or, should he enter the temple gate, it immediately walks off. for its usefulness is over, and it must give way to the next scenic representation, which will be arranged as the need for it arises. When an actor dies or Is slain in combat he has a most impressive death scene, wriggling all over the stage, to the great delight of the audi­ ence, who do not seem to perceive any incongruity when he gets up, after he is thoroughly dead, even to the last little shiver, and calmly walks off. The actors either wear masks of painted silk or gauze, or else paint their own faces with water colors and a brush until alt semblance of a hu­ man face is obliterated. . There are no actresses, men assum­ ing every part. When they make up for women they wear wigs and put blocks of wood under their feet to counterfeit the proper walk of ladies swaying along on their "Golden Lillies," as the Chinese admiringly style the dreadful little hoof-like feet a Chinese woman spends years of torture in obtaining. There are numerous traveling theatrical "companies In China, and these generally pitch their tents in the temple courts, thus affording the pe<* BEST USE OF DISINFECTANTS. m PEOPLE 8IT BY THE RAILING WHICH IS BROADENED OUT INTO A SORT OF TABLE. ubiquitous melon seed, are charged at the rate of 20 cents a bowl. The attendants who keep renewing the tea cups do so by adding hot wa­ ter, never more tea, but the pinch of tea leaves in the bottom of each cup seem to possess wonderful powers of endurance. In the balcony, that contains the best seats, for which extra charge is made, people sit by the railing, which is broadened out Into a sort of table. On this they lean, and place their tea and refreshments. The waiters walk about on a narrow platform outside of the balcony rail, dispensing the hot water and eatables, occasionally passing around napkins scalding hot with steam, that(are con­ sidered very refreshing for wiping the hands and face. Chinamen and their wives attend the theater together, the only public He Prances in Curvetting Handsomely, place where a man is seen with his wife. She is always spoken of by him as "my little stay-at-home," when he doesn't politely refer to her as "my dull thorn" or "my stupid one." I saw one Chinese lady, richly dressed and thickly painted, sitting de­ murely beside her imposing looking husband. She was smoking a beauti­ ful gold water pipe that my Chinese friend assured me cost no less than $300 in gold, or nearly $600 Mexican. A strange distinction is made by serving with special cups women who are notorious. The attendants are supposed to know them all. and when they come in attended by their Chi­ nese gallants, instead of receiving their tea in the flowered «ups that everyone else "has, they are served Ijfjcups of plain green china. • • • • • • The play i* well under way when wp pie opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and combine amusement with religion. If one can endure a Chinese theater until the end of the performance, the deafening orchestra, and the falsetto voices, he will find that two ushers come to the front of the stage and an­ nounce that the play is finished. Chi­ nese plays never fend In any culminat­ ing climax, indicating to the people that all is ended, so this announce­ ment is really necessary. The plays generally abound In pre­ posterous heroes and characters, though occasionally a scene of home life will be represented, giving a for­ eigner an insight into customs, abso­ lutely unattainable in any other way. But with their faces painted out of all human semblance, their exaggerat­ ed and unnatural voices, walk and manner, together with a constant jum­ ble of properties and stage hands, with their feeble make-believes, com­ bine in producing a most amusing and absurd ensemble. We were not altogether sorry that we had endured unto the end, though the boredom was beyond anything I can remember. We kept our seats, mentally classing ourselves with the s ailer who, with a winning smile, said to the little girl who occupied the study while her father, an eminent lit­ erary man, was at dinner: "I suppose, my dear, that you assist your papa by entertaining the bores?" "Yes, sir," replied the little girl, gravely, "please be seated." I know of only one thing in China that is funnier, and that is a practice drill of soldiers, which may actyally be seen within 200 miles of Shanghai. Here they use weapons of a pattern as ancient as the first Crusaders, spears with triple points and battle axes on long poles. A row of soldiers armed with these antique curios stand behind a row squatting on their heels and armed with rifles of the vintage of the American civil war. In front of these a third row of nien lie flat like sharpshooters, also armed with the same venerable firearms. When the word of command is given they "make ready" and "take aim," but at the word "fire!" not a trigger is pullett, each man says "boom!" with that sublime indiffer­ ence to the ridiculous and childlike faith in make-believe that distin­ guishes the theaters. When an officer was asked why such a performance was allowed he said it kept the men busy and under discipline and didn't waste powder. To see.a whole company of men go through this absurd performance again and again as soberly and con­ scientiously as if really shooting is the most excruciatingly funny thing to be seen in China, compared to which' the theater is a poor second. Knowledge That Every Good House­ keeper Shou'd Have. Every household needs disinfecting, and the proper use of the .ordiiiary de­ odorizers Is knowedge that every good housekeeper should have. Not only, do these useful things make a house pleasanter to live in, but they also make it healthful. So many good disinfectants are on the market at the present time that there is a wide choice for the careful woman. They are classed under three headings: Disinfectants which purify the wa­ ter, air, clothes, etc.; antiseptics that ttiiesi. pufciefaction, and deodorizer* that destroy disagreeable smells. Heat, of course, is a powerful disin­ fectant, and boiling water may be used when it is practicable and possible to reach the spot to be disinfected. When obliterating traces of disease --measles, scarlet fever, typhoid, diph­ theria--burn sulphur in the room after stopping all cracks and crevices with newspapers so that it will be airtight. During the illness a sheet saturated with a solution of carbolic acid should be hung over the doorways, even when the doors are shut, to protect'th© other nj«mbers of the family from pos­ sible contagion. PILING WOOD TO SEASON. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If the knife and fingers are slightly buttered when seeding raisins the work will be robbed of its stickiness and discomfort. A pinch of salt will make the white of an egg beat quicker, and a pinch of borax in cooked starch will make the clothes stiffer and whiter. Sunshine is destructive to mirrors. It causes the glass to assume a milky appearance, and the mirror will never be so clear again in spite of whatever is done to it. To clean silver trimmings--Cover the surface with well dried and finely powdered magnesia, and let it lie for a couple of hours. Afterward rub in the powder and brush off with a hard brush. In ironing the plait of the back of a shirtwaist, »on which the tiny but tons are sewed, try laying it on flannel or a Turkish towel as you do em­ broidery. The buttons sink in and the material is ironed. A good home-made cement for broken crockery is unslacked lime or plaster of paris mixed with the white of an egg to the consistency of cream. A cement that is practically water­ proof is made by dissolving ordinary white glue in warm milk. Various Methods Suggested to Meet Varying Needs. The climate has much to do with the best method to be employed In piling green wood so that it will season. In tne humid sections of the United States, says Farm and Home, it should be piled with ilw plenty of space between the pieces, but in the arid re­ gions it should be piled closer to pre­ vent too quickly drying out and con­ sequent checking of the wood. Fig. 1 shows a vejy sat- ! isfactory method. | of piling boards, 1 planks and small j dimension .1 u m- j ber. Inch strips j for edgings are J placed near each j end, and in the | middle of the pile. I The top course no 2 I of. boards is put on In the form of ' a roof to shed the water. Very use- j ful methods of piling ties, posts and j other timber are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. In Fig. 2 very little room is taken up, and at the same time individual pieces of timber touch a t v e r y f e w points, thus per­ mitting air cir­ culation on all no s sides of the wood. When quick drying and seasoning is wanted. Fig. 3 shows a better method and the one commonly em­ ployed. STABLE MANURE FOR CORN. r How to Clean Mahogany. Spread parafflne oil on the soiled woodwork and let it stand for an hour or more to soften the dirt, then w^sh with soap and warm water and wipe dry. Next run on a mixture of paraffine oil and turpentine--one third turpen­ tine and two-thirds oil. Polish with soft old flannel. Let it rest for an hour or ttoo, then polish with soft old linen. If the surface is very dull, dirty and scratched, instead of washing with soap and water, add more oil and sprinkle powdered rottenstone over it Rub gently and regularly, first with a circular motion and then with the grain of the wood. When the surface is smooth and bright wipe oft the rottenstone and finish as you would after washing with the soap and water. Recipe for Herring Dish. A herring dish brought over from Normandy by a French woman is pre­ pared in this way: A big onion is chopped fine and fried in butter until it is a rich golden brown, but not burned. Then it is removed and six big herrings are put into the pan and cooked. When they are nicely browned, they are arranged on a hot plate with the onions, and a sauce made with salt, pepper and two table- spoonfuls of vinegar cooked together is turned over them. Mustard is passed with them. Gold on China. An importer of fine china recently said that it is not true that the gold used on modern china has not the good old wearing qualities of the china our grandmothers used to have. The gold decoration on modern china wears off quickly simply because of chemicals used in nearly all kitchens at present. If the housekeeper will use only pure, neutral soap, he says, her gold-decorated china will wear as long as it ever did. t Proves Its Value for One Farmer Who Made Test. Last spring I found it necessary to put a corn stubble land in corn again. At one end of the field was a plot that had almost failed to grow corn the year before, so I put on a few loads of stable manure and turned it under. Nearly all of the field had an application of * superphosphate drilled j in -with a wheat drill at the rate ! of 150 to 200 pounds per acre. One corner had stable manure, but no fer tilizer, but most of the land where the stable manure was applied also had fertilizer. Where stable manure and fertilizer were both applied, the corn made an excellent crop, says Farm and Home. Where the stable manure was used alone, the corn was nearly as good as where both manure and fer­ tilizer were applied. Where the com merclal fertilizer was used alone the corn grew rapidly during the early season: It made very good stalk, but the leaves turned yellow before the corn reached the roasting ear stage There was plenty of stover, but little grain where the fertilizer alone was used. Stable manure Beems especially well adapted to the corn crop. It helps to hold moisture and furnishes a regular supply of available plant food throughout the growing season. Dur­ ing the hottest part of the season the nitrifying bacteria working on the manure are most active and most plant food is made available just when the corn plants need it most Being distributed throughout the soil it helps to render inert plant food in the soil available. It encourages the plants to send out roots in every direc tion, and to develop a large root sys tem, which helps the corn to with stand a drought, which often Injures the crop. FEEDING. WASTE PRODUCTS. One Way in Be Which Live Stock May Made to Pay. A Canned Peach Dessert. Cut stale sponge cake into round pieces an inch thick. Place these in a glass dish and moisten them with the sirup from a can of large half peaches. Place a half peach on each piece, with the inside up. Sweeten some whipped cream and flavor it with va­ nilla. Then blanch some almonds and chop them very fine and add them to the cream. Heap this on each half peach. Serve any 'that remains in a separate dish. Apply Tacks. t To distinguish a bottle containing medicine for external use only, as well as poisons, from other liquids and medicines, it is advisable to insert a small brassheaded tack in the top of the cork. This is a better plan than having different colored bottles or glass stoppers. If this plan be used there is no danger of giving a poison for cough medicine in the dark. Apples Baked with Nuts. Remove the skins from apples, take out the cores and scoop out a little of the centers. Roll them in melted brown sugar;" Fill in the penters with chopped nuts and bake with a littJe water around them in a flat pan for 20 or 25 minutes. Serve with the juice that comes from the pan in which they are baked. This is a delicious dish anc| easily prepared. Keep Butter Without Ice. To keep butter successfully without ice in warm weather, put it in a deep bowl and cover with a plate and place in a pan of cold water. Then <3§'et a towel in cold water and fold it in sjich a manner that the corners will hang down into the pan of water when spread over the top of the plate. Place the pan of water in the coolest spu< possible. Live stock while growing may be made to utilize a great deal of the ma­ terial of the farm, which might other­ wise go to waste. Aside from the value of combining stock-raising with general agriculture, it is well 'to count profits gained by disposing of all, waste matter on the farm as an impor­ tant item, and much may be turned into fat pork or beef that would other­ wise be thrown out as useless. Coarse fodders which are easily and cheaply grown and which fit into any rotation readily, are made profitable by being fed to live stock. While there is prac­ tically no market value sufficient to re­ pay efTorts in that direction, odd fields which go out of commission early in the season may be profitably planted with such fodder and fed to live stock with a very worthy margin of profit, in every branch of agriculture there is a certain amount of waste which oply a small percentage of farmers know how to dispose of. It is especially during the growing period that stock will prosper on such food. Besides the grasses, etc., which may be raised thus, there are many by-products of the same which will go profitably into the feed bin of the sow or steer. EXTRA FEED CROPS. Get the Fast Walker. In purchasing a horse that is to be used on the road, it is well to see that it is a fast walker. Enough attention is usually paid to other points, but this one is not so apt to be noticed. It is, however, necessary for a horse to walk a good deal at times, and a. fast walker will prove advantageous in covering ground. Ar quick-stepping team is also an advantage in farm work, especially in hauling to and from the fields. Sheep. Sheep occupy about the same rela­ tive position among the domestic ani­ mals as the legumes occupy among the farm crops. They improve the land, and while they may notvtake nitrogen from the air and deposit it-4n the soil, they renovate the grass lands and actually leave them In better condition than they found them. Sure Your Cows Get Enough te Eat In Summer. I am confident there are more cows that do not get enough to eat during the summer season than in winter. The thought that when the cows go to pasture they need no other food till fall is a most common aad harm­ ful one. Usually not to exceed six weeks is as much as the pasture will afford all the good food cows need to keep up their milk flow, and a degree of flesh, to enable them to do their best. Practically every farmer knowB that when a cow is allowed to shrink in her milk, and the secreting glands suiiiiK,' no subsequent feeding will fully expand them until she again freshens. It must be remembered that unless she is in good flesh she cannot do her best. It is cheaper to keep flesh on her than to restore it. These things, therefore, emphasize the im­ portance of some feed to supplement the pasture. When it is to be had, there is noth­ ing cheaper or better than silage, says William H. Underwood, writing in Farmers' Voice. However, most do not !iave this. In case something should be needed very early rye sowed tulckly the previous fall, and cut just as the heads begin to form, followed by wheat, will do the business. This land can then be used for a summer crop. The pasture is usually most abundant at this season, and the great lack is from the last of June through the balance of the season. Therefore, the crops that will furnish feed dur­ ing this period must receive attention. Clover can often be fed by the mid­ dle of June. This can be followed by oats and peas, using two bushels of the Canada field peas, with one bushel of oats, and sowing two to three bushels per acre. On rich land the lighter seeding is best. Put them in as early in the spring as the ground will permit, getting the peas in about four inches deep. The oats will do better sowed three or four days later, about two inches deep, then the ground rolled. Another sow­ ing may be made ten days or two weeks later. This will give feed from the last of June to early August, From this time till the corn is »-eady it is somewhat difficult to get some­ thing that will fill the gap. Sometimes a second crop of clover can be procured where a crop has been cut early in June. For this pe­ riod millet will give good satis­ faction. Barnyard or Hungarian millet, sowed the middle or last of June, will be ready in five or six weeks, and is greatly relished by the cows. Sow 8 to 12 quarts to the acre. This, like all other feed, loses much of Its palatability and worth if it is allowed to get hard. All these feeds give best results If they are cut just as they come into bloom. This really means making the first cutting a little ahead of this period, so the crop is gone be­ fore it begins to get woody. Later, corn can be depended on; sweet corn is best. Stowell's Eveo green, planted In the middle of June, will be in fine shape in nine or ten weeks. It is well to feed ears and all. From this time till frost, there should be no trouble In getting an abundance of corn of any kind. Often there will be a second crop of clover to feed in the latter part of August and first of September, which will give variety and is in the line of economy, but It is not as good as the corn. Last, but not by any means least, is the most valuable but too often de­ spised pumpkin. I value them most highly, and like to have them to feed well into November, and have no dif­ ficulty in keeping them if they are not allowed to freeze and are kept in a cool, dry place. The old idea that the seeds are harmful Is an erroneous one. I have fejl tons of them, and not removed a seed for years. In fact, I consider the seeds of value as a tonic and vermifuge. Often we get a good growth in the corn, but a more certain and better way is to plant them in a plot of rich ground by themselves. There are few crops that will turn off more feed from the same land.
