They Are Served Fried and Cost Two Cents a Plece—How Dozs Are Prepaced Kor the Table Cooks and Cooking in Asia. Wasninoron, Nov, 14.~[Specinl to Tne little girls made of 1 Sugar antl spice, and everything nice, That's what little girls are made of, What are little boys madeof! Rats and snails, and puppy dogs’ tails, That's what little boys are made of. This nursery rhyme is especially true of the little boys of Cuina. There are thou- sands of almon-eyed, yellow-skiuned, pig- tailed little ones throughout southern China, who consider the above menu a feast. 1 visited rat restaurants and watched the cooking of dogs and cats In the soup. I priced dried rats At many a butcher shop, and was offered plump, juicy pussys for less than the cost of their raisig. I was told that the flesh of aogs would make brave the men who ate it, and I watched not a few people who smacked their lips as they con- weyed bits of cat from their bowls to their mouths, Fheso Chinese dog restaurunts are argely patronized by the poor peopls of Canton,, Tney are usually on the grouna floor, and they consist of a kitchen av tho front, und a dining room in the rear. E'rom nails on the walls and in the ceiling hang the dressed bodies of dogs, which look not unlike the carcasses of pigs, and which hang tail down- wards. Just below these upon great beds of «coal or in oven-like stoves are pots, in which dog and cat stews simmer away., The meat 48 cut up into biis, as big as the end ot your finger, und it is fried with chestnuts and warlic in oil, or is stewed into a sort of soup. At the restaurant which I visited, I was told that I could have a pint bowl of cat flesh for 10 cents, and as a special duinty I was of- fered FRIED CAT'S EYES At 2 cents a piece. The cats are skinned be- fore cooking, but the dogs are prepared for the pot in tho same way that wo make our pork. They are kiiled and the bodies are soused in boiling water to get the hair off. A little huir is always left on the end of the tail to show the color of the dog, for the meat of black dog 18 worth twice that of the yeilow variety, and bluck cat's fleshisa dainty. In some parts of China you can buy dried and smoked dog’s hams, and some regions make & business of exporting them. The season for rats is the winter, and cats are zood at uny Lime of the year. The Chinese are the greatest pork eaters in the worid. The pigs ave the scavengers of the ciy, and they roct their way into every quarter, and turn up the ground and wallow in the'wire on the very edge of the emperor's palace in Pekin, You see pigs for sale in every market, and the sucking pig is tho piece Je resistunce at every feast, 1t is mever eaten in the roast, however, but is hastied into bits and stewed, and this is the case with ull Chinese meats,” Small bits are & necessity where the chop sticks are used, and the result is that most of tho Chinese dishes are soups or stews or roasts cut fine. There 18 little beef used in China, and good cows are practically unknow Such milkc is offered for sul¢ is by no means reliable s to cleauliness and character, aud an Kng- lish resident who was disappointed by his milkman, and usked him the reason why he no longer pulled around his milk cart, re- ceived this reply: *No ¢an. Sow she die, haye moved away."” HUMAN MILK I8 SOLD In many parts of Chiun, and when the em- press dowager was sick recently it required twenty wet nurses to keep: her ulive. Where there is no milk there can not bo * butter, and you will find little butter in use by Asiatic nations, In Japan all the butter used by foreigners has to be imported. The Chinese use oil in the place of butter, and the Indians use a sort of substituo for butter in ghee, which is a sort of claritied butter. The Indians are milk drinkers, and the sacred cows supply many a family with a great part of thewr food. In Egypt butter is often made of buffalo’s milk, and t esult 18'a white, ohesy, tasteless, insipid mixture, ‘which bears no comparison to that proiuced from tho Jersey cow. The Egyptian ezgs v l'and their chickens are not half tho size of ours. The Chinese are the grentost fowl raisers in the worid, and they rank higl among tho egg eaung nations, They never eat an egg unioss it be boiled hurd or pickled, and the Chinese preserved oggs are ono of the features of their gas- tronomy. It takes forly days to cure un ogg proverly. It is not fit to eat before that nge, and after that the older the better. Lime, saltand vivegar are mixed together in the ickling, and the egg, when ready for use fl black as coal. The Koreans are also egg eaters and 1 found many of the Japanes, ‘who like their eggs raw. Raw tish 13 a common articleof diet in both Japun dnd Korea, and I attended a Japanese dinner at Tokio where sliccs of white un- oooked trout were brought in covered with dce and served as one of the entries, It was not bad 1o wste, and my Japanese friends ato {t with grefitzusto, In Korea it is not uncommon for the fishermen to take a bottle of pepper sauce along with them and to cat & flsh as they take 1t from the hoox, sprink- ling a bit of red hot chili'over it and eatng it down without cloaning snything off except the svales, I'he Horoans are oy no means snrlluulflr 48 w0 tho mauner in which their sh and meats are served, The entrails are < #0ld and eaten us well as the rest of the meat, and a common dish at o big dinner is a chicken baked featbers, cutrails and all, und served wholo on thetable, .

Itas a big job to clean them, and they are cooked with pigeon’s eggs and spices into asoup. When cooked they look like isin- glass, and 1t takes an artist to prepare them for the table. Among the other curious things consumed by the Chinese are shark fins and salted ducks. Ducks are salted and dried as wa dry beef, and you will find salted duc abd gecse everywhere, The Chineso are very fond of pump- kin sced and watermelon sced and at their big dinners they often have these bo side each plate for their guests to_nibole at between their courses, Colonel Denby, ou minister to China, described a dinner to me at which there were sixty courses, and din- ners of one handred courses are not un- known. 1o looking over a Chinese bill of fare I see muny appetizing tidbits, Here for instance, is a course of ducks' livers, oue of the fried roofs of the mouths of pis another of the cooked webbed-feet of ducks, @ third of fish fins and a fourth of pigeon egus. The bread of different Asiatic nations is worthy of mention. In Chiu, Indin, Japan and Korea, by no means all the people live upon r In ‘north China much wheat is used, aud northern India is one of the great growing districts of the world. The Chinesu boil all of their bread instead of buking it, or if baked at all, It is browned after boiling. In Egypt the bread of the lowest classes is largely mado sorghum seed and innorth India and north China millet is largely used, Both Chineso and Jupanese of are fond of sweet cake, and in Japan one of tho most populax cukes is almost exactly like our sponge cake, 1t is said to have been brought over from Holland by the Dutch christians when they came to Japan centur- ies ago, and you will now find it all over the country, e Turks arc very fond of sweet ind the sweet cake peddlers of Cairo and Constantinople are the noisiest of their Iv is the same with caundy as it is Some of the best candy I have aten 1 bought of a pigtailed merchant in the Chinese city of Peking.

Ata dinner which I once attended in Upper Egypt we had a course of candy between ecach one of the other covrses, and we had DESERTS during the meal. The Turkish tooth is a sweet tooth, and with sweetened water sherberts, caudies and cakes ho makes his thick blood flow slgwer and slower. At least haif the world know not the use of the fork, and fully, ong quartor of all the men, women and childeen 1n it_eat with their fingers, ho Iigyptian and the Turk pride themselves on their cleanliness in using their fingers rather than forks, ‘L'he forks, say they, have been 1 somo other man's mouth, and ou have to depend on your servants for cleaning, They wash their hands beforesitting down to the table or squatting around the meal on the floor, und they pick up the morsels of food with thin pieces of bread, rolling it around the food or soppng it in’ the soup. They use their hands in aiding . the carv- ing, and tear ravher thau cuu their roasted fowls. A whole sheep is often served at an Bygyptian dioner, and the guests go at this with knife and fingers. 1 once attended a wedding of the daughter of the richest man Upper Keypt, aud tiis sheep formed one of whe many curiosities of the meal. As we en- tered the house richiy dressed servants Dbrought us cups of wuter as swect as sap of the maple, and flavored with annis seed, and behind him came a boy with & gold embroid- ered napkin. Itook asip of the water and used the napkin in common witn the rest of the guests. 1 was led into the salemlik and given a seat on a divan, Beside me squatted a richly dressed Egyptian in a tur- Dan, and with bim [-took a sip at the cup of black coffee, which followed the sweet water, Then we had candies and brandy, and after this a cigarette, when dinner wus announced, In addition to the sheep there was roast tur- key, roast beef, vegetables and all the extras of a big French dinner. Betwcen each course candies and sweet cakes were served, and the meal took several hourS, The for- cieners present were given knives and forks, but the natives ATE WITH THEIR PINGERS, large part of the 250,000,000 inhabitants of ndia eat with their fingers. fhe HBurmese do not know the use of chop sticks, and the Siamese have the same table utonsils as were used by Adam and Lve. ‘Ihe 400,000,000 Chinamen uso in the neighborhood of a billion chopsticks every moruing, noon and night, and toe Korean carries his chopsticks with him wherever he goes, The chopstick is about a8 big around as a slate pencit and not mucn longer They are made of wood, ivory or metal, and the emperor is said to use chopsticks of gold. It is customary at a first class hotel in Japan to give each guest @ fresh pair of unused chopsticks at every meal, and the sticks are so cheap that they cost practically nothing, ‘The kitchen and diniog-room furniture of the far east is as ‘simple as the tablo uten- sils, In Burmah the cooking stove consists of abox of ashes, on the top of which is built a fire of charcoal. 1t 18 much the same in Japan, save that you find here and there little clay stoves of “the rudest description, and 80 small that only one dish can be cooked at a time upon them. 'The stoves of Egypt and China afe much the same, and an American cooking range would be @ greater ouviomity in the in- terior of Chiaa than Baroum's show in u country village. Hére fuel is so ex- pensive that the use of it is reduced to a mini- mum. Few fires are used for beating, and wany houses in China use fuel only for ¢ook- ing, aud depend upon their wadded cotton clothes for warmth, Boiling water js an article of merchandise in some of the cities, und in Pekin I saw great quantities of coal and dust mixed with dirt and offered for sale an tue shape of little caices the sizo of a bis- cuit.

That is oxplained to mean the throwing forward and upward of the chest, the flattening of the k, with the shoulder-blades held in their prop- er places, and the definite curving in of the small of tho back, thus throwing the whole weignt of the body upon the hips. No other women hold them- selves so well as the aristocratic Eng- lish women.

The same aristo- cratic carringe i3 within the reach of any American girl who takes the pains to have it. It is only the question of a few years of eternal vigilance, never relaxing her watchfuluess on herself, and, sitting or standing, always pre- serving her erectness aud poise, the re- sult being that at the end of that time it has become second nature to her, and she never aftorward loses it, This in a great measure preserves the figure, be- cause it keeps the muscles firm and well strung, and prevents.the sinking down of. the flesh around the waist und the hips. 0 common in women over 50, and which it is perfectly eusy to es cape, . Another thing to avoid is a bad habit of going upstairs, which most women have of bending forward, with the chest contracted, which as well as an indolont, slouchy manner of walking is injurious to the heart and lungs. The Kissing Habit Among Ladies, And why must we kiss each other every time we meet? inguires a lady writer in London Truth, Kisses ave really not_agreeable groetings to ex- change. Very fow people know how to bestow or receive them in a neatand satisfactory manner, A slovenly kiss is a really detestable article and makes one disiike and despise the bestower. Of all my giri friends who kiss me when we meet there is only one from whose osculatory greeting I"do not involuntar- ily ghrink., Some butt at the kisses with lips made into a hard ball for the purpose. These almost give one the toothache. Others bestow thelr dewy lips upon one’s cheek.in a way that makes the re- cipient grope hastily, but furtively, for a_ handkerchief., A third contingent kiss is a cold and chilling way that says plainly enough. I kiss you because’ i supoose you expect it of mo.” | Lalwitys sympathize with thesoand would gladly fall into their views, Amy, do let us make a non-kissing compact company, and see how many of our acquaintances will join it The rules would not for- bid a kiss after a long abscnce, nor would it interfere with lovers’ kisses or anything of that sort, but only combat the custom of daily greetings by oscu- lation, I feel quite sure that woman’s friend- ships would be fivmer and more durable if they would abandon all such heay demands upon it. Do you agree with me? What & Woman Can Do, What can a woman do? inquires the New York Sun, and then proceeds to answer the question after this fashion. She can laugh with her lips—mak~a wan think she is the merriest cricker iu the world, while her eyes ave full of unshed tears and her heart is beating as if it would burst. She can forgive a great sin like an angel and nag a man wbout a petty vice like an imvortation from the lower re- gions, She can fix over old frocks and woar them with a cheerful heart that she may help somebody, and she can spend the first money thatshe 1y feels that sho can use for herself in going to a matinee on sweets, when she knows she necds a now pair of shoes. She can quiet a baby with one or two suring pats when a man might most knock the life of itgive it a whole bottle of soothing syrup, aud it would stiil be openseyod and nggressive, Sho can employ & whole day looking pair of braces for Jack, and yet in > time of trouble she could buy a mourning outfit in halfan hoor needle would fly as if guided tricity in sewing on a bridal gown, or shroud for somebody’s baby. Sho can cry out her troubles on a man’s shoulder and feel a velief that is only possible from musculine help, and ten minutes aftor dhe can laugh in that man’s face and wontder what moen were made for. She can be bmave in time of mental trouble; she can stand by and hold the hand of some oneavho is suffering from ical trouble; and yet she will m as if she were about to be killed at the suggestion of o mouse or a beetle, $ can smile ovor a dinuer of hr and butter and tea, when that's all she can get, and lator on, when prosperity is to the fore, she can turn up her nos at any game below cahvasback duc and wonder at people caring for any- thing but the best brand of Burgundy. What can’t she do? She can never wear trousers with any grace, and she will never be able to resist either the man or the baby who has the love ol her hears.

The boys must be clothed, and you want to deal with a firm whose reliability is unquestioned, whose method of doing business is such that you can dlace confidence in all their statements WHERE On this broad earth canyou find a firm of greater reliability more truthful in their statements or who has finer facilities for turning out garments of undoubted value for small amounts of money, than Browning, King & Co.?

The auction sale which is now in progress at our store has caused so many inquiries that we take this method to answer the inquiries and: inform the public at the same time. The object of the saleis not, as some Irave asserted, to get rid of our old stock for the best of rcasons, we bave none, Noris it a holiday scheme to get the trade—but it is as advertised, to close the retail depart- ment of our jewelry business which we have been desirous of doing for many months, and having failed to find a cus- tomer to purchase the stock entire, and to put the stock in- to our wholesale department not being feasible, we have determined upon an auction sale of our entire stock of dia- monds, fancy goods, art goods, and all. Without limit or reserve of one single article, We invite all.to attend these sales, which will be held daily for the next thirty days (ifnot disposed of before) and see if this statement is not a fact, “YOST” WRITING MACHINE.
