Among Chinese
By Clyde Witmer;
There are five distinct classes -of peo
ple among the Chinese. The first and
highest class Is that of the scholar.
Among the ranks of the yellow man the
Chinaman's intellect and his ability of
mind are considered superior even to
wealth. Tljls mental . powert tbey argue,
enables bim to provide food, raiment, and
shelter for himself, his family, ahd fre
quently for many of his relatives, .The
tecond class Is th agricultural type of
Mongolian. The human boay cannot ex
ist without food. ' Likewise th human
mind cannot act without the body, and
for this reason the Job of farming U
considered absolutely essential to the
existence of man. Especially Is this
view taken among the more Intelligent
of the Chinese. : The mechanic Is ac
corded the position qf third placa in the
society "of the Celestials. The man who
builds a house forms a shelter for him
self and his family. Next to food, the
shelter Is an absolute necessity, and the
Chinaman who earns his bread by me
chanical means is duly accorded tha po
sition next .1ft honorable rank 6 .the
man who provide the food. The fourtn
class is the Mongolian tradesman.' As
the native peoples have Increased In
numbers, their want have naturally be
come multiplied and this has created the
necessity of a business making of sale
and . exchange. In view of this , the
Celestial merchant has come Into exist
ence. Ills occupation is considered as
one of rather low. grade because of his
brokerage fees, which fees , he derive
form shaving the profit of both the
buyer - and the seller, the producer!; as
welt as the consumer" lowest .In the
list of aristocrats In China stands the
soldier. This position Is accorded him
because he consumes what, other pro
duce, and produces nothing. The busi
ness of the soldier is to destroy, and
not to build up aopiety. ; The military
man haa always been looked upon as a
necessary though very unwholesome
evil. During - th past two decades,
however, the yellow man haa been com
pelled to alter his antagonistic view re
garding the military man In China, for
his nation has been taught to Its ex
treme sorrow by foreign . nations , the
utter weakness of its national defenses
and Us Inability to . repel an. invading
foe.

A Safe Place
By Edna K. Wooley,
"Well, welva found myV wife's diamond
earrings," said the man with a twinkle
in his eye.
My wife," ha added, "has the hiding
habit,- I've told her time and again to
rent a safety deposit box downtown, but
she never got around to it. Anyway,
she , always thought It was safer to
hide. things around the house, having a
notion that she was smarter than any
burglar could possibly be.
"The only trouble with this scheme
was that one in a while she forgot
wnere sne a niaaen .tnings.. and we
couidnf find them when we wanted
them. . Then my wife would sav:
' " 1 thought I put it her or there but
I must have changed my mind. Any
way, I know it's, in a perfectly safe
piace
"So we didn't worry, and br-and-bv
the thing would turn up.
-But we never could locate mr wlfe'a
diamond earrings. I - gave them to her
on her last birthday nearly a year ago
and she only wore them once. We
went off on a little trip shortly after.
and Instead of taking the earrinaa with
ner, sue put them in a "perfectly safe
piace- somewnere in the house.
"When we came home my wife wanted
those earrings to wear, but they were
not where she thought she remembered
putting ; them, All of th other hid
den things were brought to light, but
those diamond earrings seemed to have
vanished Into thin air. We turned tho
nouse upside down hunting them.
"'But I'm not Worried one bit' com
forted my wife. 'I know -Til find them
some day, because they're In a perfectly
saie piace. to very fact that w can'
find" them provea-that.' '
. ''Now, a couple of week ago my wife
was away from home, th children were
In school, and the maid had gone out
for something, leaving the side door
unlocked. It was the very opportunity
mr a sneax inier ana he took it. When
my wife got home she found every small
valuable gone even th silver tops
were unscrewed rrom the salt shakers,
"I sent word to the Police and dldn
hear much more about it until a couple
of days ago when they told me to coriie
down to the station to sea If they had
any or my sturr. as they'd nabbed
fellow and found a 1 of .goods, some
or it tauying with my descriptions.
"The goods were ours, all right, mixed
up with some things he'd got from other
places, iiut what stumped me was that
with the stuff hs'd gejt from us were my
wife's diamond earrings
. -I tried to make-him 4n wfaera tiB-d
found them," but he wouldn't open, hts
mourn, ana to tnia day none of us know
where they were hidden. .'
"Of course. I started In to joke my
wife abdut- the -perfectly safe place'
where she had them, but she got so mad
that I stopped. She's taken the hint
though, td rent that safe deposit box
but I don't know as it's so convenient
after all. I'm kept busy now putting
things In and taking them out as she
wants them."

The smallest number this year was
14 and the greatest 66.
No worthy applicant is -refused. "
The expense for caring for these
little ones is much greater than for
th santa-troitrber of- Older CfillflrenT as
these tiny ones must all be washed and
dressed and fed, put to bed, etc-. , t
A nurse is required ror every live.
We require a matron, a trained nurse.

man, also a general neiper. , ,
The bulldlng'is lighted by electricity
and an electrlb fan forces any foul
air out of the? building;, to be replaced
by warm air from th furnace.
The home has no endowment fund,
hence - must - depend on the generous
public for support
We want to maintain a high stand
ard of excellence in operating thi in

must tiav Tunas to meet our nrer tnj

Our mbnthly expense is I9J0J our re

a deficiency each month of 8847.
Our state appropriation expires Jan

public- to help us out.
Pencil day netted about- $3000. From
this we paid notes and interest, $2011.
thus leaving only $988 in tne treasury.
Other bills aggregated, and were paid,
$D91. We now have in treasury
with a monthly expense facing us 01
$920. Hence our appeal for reuer.

Soup Making
By Elizabeth Lee.
When the kitchen IS fitted with a
wood range It will be an economy to
make soup at home instead of buying It
ready prepared, because odds and ends
of food can be utilized which might
otherwise be thrown away, while there
will be no cost for cooking, as th fire
must be made anyway.
Bv souo making stock is understooa,
variations being made frorfli the same
stock. Brown stock is made from beef
alone usually, though vegetables, veal,
and poultry are sometimes used in com.
blnatlon. i
White stock is made from veal ana
chicken. If Vegetables are added tnese
------ . 1
should be white, as celery and onion.
Fish stock Is made from nsn oniy.
Lamb or mutton, too, "must be useo
alone, though a little salt meat, as pork.
bacon or ham may oe usea ijubi y
of adding a flavor) to any and all
soups.
Stock Is the, Juices of the meat
brought out by long ana very stow
cooking. If soup Is allowed to boll It
can never be properly cieareq arter
wards, because the boiling dissolves ths
lime In th bones and this causes
cloudiness.
Soup meats Include the lower or
touah art of the round of beef, also
the. shin and neck pieces, the knuckle
of veal, and fowls too old for roasting.
Any desired vegetables may be used,
but If the soup is to be kept for any
length of time these should be omitted,
because they ferment quickly.
A granite or enamelware kettle Is
best foe soup. The lid should be tight
to prevent the steam escaping. A towel
folded ; and placed on the cover Is a
good Idea;
rrum Hanoi tirnnnrHnna far stock are
as follows: One pound of meat and one
1 aslt tn nna mmrt nf raid
icnoywiii v. v" w
water. To four quarts of water use
one each of onions, carrots, and turnips,
two sticks of celery, two or three sprays
of parsley, one bay leaf, 12 pepper
corns, lx cloves, and one pinch of
thyme.
Meat for stock should be cut Into
pieces not more khan two Inches square,
and bone should be well broken or
cracked. -This Is done so the gelatine
they contain may be more quickly re
leased. Turn on the cold water and allow the
whole to stand for 15 minutes. Then
the pot should be placed over the fire
and allowed to come gently to the sim
mering point. The pot is then pushed
back and the slow cooking continues
for five or six hours.
Vegetables are added about an hour
before the soup is served .
Stock when ready snouia oe strainea
Into an earthen vessel and be allowed to
cool' uncovered. Never allow soup to
remain In the stock pot Eat wllWorm
on the top and this helps to keep the
stock, so It Is a good plan to use sev
eral small Jars Instead of ope large
bowl The soup will keep as long as the
cake of fat is not broken.
Chicken stock IS made as follows:
Cut an average size fowl into pieces and
cover with four quarts of cold water.
Bring to boiling point and then gently
simmer for three hours. The season
ings are one slice of onion, a couple of
sticks of celery, one tablespoonful of
salt, and one Bait spoonful of pepper.
To make a fish stock put one table
spoonful of butter or other fat Into the
soup kettle, and in It frv, half a chopped
onion, three slices or carrot cnopped, 1
and th same quantity of turnip. Add j
the fishbones, head, etc with a little
parsley, a pinch of thyme, a bay leaf,
some coarse leaves of celery, and a :
tomato, " ' - I
Cover .with cold water and simmer
from one to one and one half hours.
Season with salt and pepper, then strain
for use. ' ., ' ' .
