The night before >ho was married, 1 had a talk Out all Ihe <|uesli«>n ot property and inheritance, and he'd shew up w ho did the poisoning and who did the shoot- mg!" "Well, old chap, there's no chance that you did it, if you're willing to have the big sleuth on the job!" "I didn't shoot Raynor, but look here, Kent, I'd swiar that I did, if Nan should be accused of that." "Don't get that detective, Finley," said Kent. "I-el's manufacture clews â€" or whatever your plan is, our»clve»<." A t«p on tho doer sounded, and Kent a<lniitte<I Goddard and Detective Dobbins.

Childicn nhouId wash their hands before eatlilf. 2. Food should be eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly. 3. Include somo fresh Vegetables In ea< b day'H menls. 4. <!ive ea<h child at least a pint of rollk a day. 6. Water should bo given freely be- tween meals, but not at bed time. 6. A glass ot milk and a piece o( bread or somo friiit is all that should be given to a well diiid between meats and then only if lio is really hungry. Cooklnfl Food Cereals. â€" Coarse eerenls re<iuire at least three hours' cooking in a double boiler, fine cereals at least ouo hour. Cereals are largely composed of starch and fibre. Long cooking Is necessary to soften tho fibre and thornUKhly cook tlio starch. In a fine cereal, heat pi'oet rates more quickly to the centre ot each ^ralu than in a coarse cerealâ€" hence the necessity cf lotiger cooking of coarse cereals. Vegetables.â€"AU vegetables need to be thoioiichly cooked. Bteaming is (h ebest method of cooking vegetables, because there Is not as great a less ot food material, particularly the valu able mineral snila. ]( vegetables are cooked by bniling, however, the water III which they are cookeil (stock) should be kept, and used when mak- ing soup or vegetable sauce. I'otatoes are best baked, or boiled witb tho skins on and peeled afterwartls. Eggs.â€" Should be soft rooked, cod- dled, peached or serainbled, not fried. Meats.- Should be roasted, boiled or broiled. Fried m. ata should not be given to children. Most stews made with potatoes and other vegetables are reeommeudod, provided Ihey are thoroughly cooked aud the fat bas been removed. tloiips.â€" Clear soups have pracllc- ally no food value, but soups made from meat, to which vegetables and barley, ilce or macaroni are added, make valuable food. Thick soups, especially those made from peas aud beans with the addition of milk, are nutritious and cheap and may largely be substituted for meat and eggs. Serving Food Food should bo served warm and well cooked, on dean plates and on a clean tabic. Food that Is "off flavor" or tainted should nover bo served. Milk should be kept coolâ€" It pos- sible on leo. Files should be kept away from tboa.

We are apt to forget completely a hun- dred little kindnesses and courtesies which one has shown us, and to re- member a siiglo careless slight or thoughtless word. Often we hear it said of some wrong or foolish deed, "1 have never thought so well of that man since then; it wns there he show- ed his real character," â€" as if a man's real character appeared more in one separate deed to which.perhaps, he was sorely tempted, than in tho striv- ing and overcoming of many days and years.

Western Hills During my months In Peking, cf the many things I enjoyed those that stand in m yniemory for delight are excursions outside tho city. I had been prepared by photographs for the beauty ot the Great Wall, but it was exciting beyond expectation. Besides the power that belongs to all great walls, the sense of fortitude and sta- bility, there is an impression of active energy, as though soldiers were hard- ly needed to defend it, and its many watch-towers were fo rlts own use only. It is nn inspiratiou to stand on a Tower and see the Wail travelling determinedly as far as the eye can reach in either direction, up hill and down dale, discovering even in the valleys ridges on which 16 perch it- self, a breathless Impetus carrying it to the top ot the highest hills. Puffing up the pass by train the Wall had impressed me merely as a magnificient enclosure. The first hint of its livlngness was at the station where we stopped. Here it fled from the mechanical monster which had cut It through, a headlong flight up precipitous hillsides leaving its stair- way wrecked behind it. We joined It by a gentler slope, and found it broad as a lane and generally In wonderful preservation. My visit was in July and the hills, obviously never very green, were com- pletely bare. In tho crannies of the Wall itself were hints of what wild flowers there might be, strange varie- ties generally of things well known at home: salvia, caiiipauuln, morning glory, etc. There were also Mongoli- ans lying In wait for the innocent sightseers, with stalls of lemonade and other refre.shments. My last trip In the Western Hills was in late October, to the great pil- grimage temple of Miao Feng Shan â€"the Mountain of the Marvelous Peak. To go there wo followed the Pilgrims' Way. This, while not much more than a path In width. Is one of tho very few made roads fn North Chim-i, paved in its leiii;th. In the first stJigo my vivid recollection is of pcrHimmon orchards. The trees, far larger and more bushy than any to be seen In an English orchard, were laden with large golden fruit, bril- liant as oranges among sparses crim- son Icaves-the sight of the orchards alono would have been well worth the journey. The stage ended at the house of our host, Lo Ching .Shan Chai, so christened by the late Em- peror. Jn English the name sounds elaborate, though it ts certainly ap- propriate, the Nature Lover's Moun- tain Lodge. It was situated in Miog Tao Kow, Cherry Olen by interpreta- tion, the leaves, autumn tinted, still made the foreground brilliant as It fell rapidly from us. Below a mountain stream rushed, tearing Us way between trees and boulders, with bero aud there a snootb sheet of water. . . . The view from the dweMlng house itself was broad, encleieil by flue outlines ol or- dereU bills, blue and purple at sunset against • primrose sky. Half a mile up a steep gien ou the other side ol the stream the temple et our host was dedicated "To all great men who loved nature.' The tablets ot Keats, Shelley, Walt Whitman and Shake- speare, among L'nglish speaking na- ture lovers, and many another great one from every nation, were there in company with two flno old Huddahs who, when the village temple was overtaken by destruction, hat found a refuge here. â€" Uachd Whc;itcrott, In "Slam and Cambodia In Pen and Pas- tel."
