Balt la not to be added to oatmeal until It baa boiled about fifteen minutes. If tea la ground like coffee or crushed immediately before hot water is poured on It. it will be nearly twice as strong. When making flour batter cakes the baking powder should never be stirred In until Just before frying, as it will make the batter much lighter. Try steaming fowls Instead of boiling, and you will find tbat the meat is always tender and the full benefit of the fowl is kept besides a very delicate 'flavor. For prime corned beef hash moisten the mixture of meat and potatoes with a rich stock and season with salt and paprika. Borne persona add a trace •f sugar. Onion dressing is usually liked in stuffing duck, but where It Is not used a small piece of fat salt pork ia chopped fine and added. This last Is thought to remove the strong taste from wild

j she saw the face of the stranger through them. The features seemed contained within the encircling petcla of a rose, which In a twinkling faded into a lily, then into other flowers In the same rapid succession. In her father’s house were marbles of ancient gods and goddesses, and the stranger's bead and shoulders to Paplnts resembled a bust of Apollo. The face was certainly very beautiful, and the eyes looked at the girl with an expression

of marked approval.

“Yon love your flowers,” said Un-

young man. "Indeed I da"

“I call them my children." “Bo do I. How stranger "Will you give me one?” Papluta plucked a budding roae, went to the wall and gave it to him. He took It, enjoyed Its beauty and its fragrance, then, turning his eyes again on Papluta. said: “It Is very lovely; but there a flower In your garden far lovelier.” "Which?” asked Paplnts, looking

aside.

“It has a blush In Its cheek tbat no other flower baa, for It cornea and goes within a few moments." Such nature] tore making in Spain baa never been permitted, but it waa some weeks before Don Miguel discovered that his daughter, every day attending her flowers, met a younj stranger. and when he learned {be secret It was too late. Paplnta's heart bad gone Into the possession of the father of the flowers. Of course her meetings were stopi>ed, for she was not allowed to go to her plants again. Whether It was that she mourned the separation from them or from her "lover, or both, she fell ill and passed rapidly Into a burning

fever.

While delirious Paplntn saw a vl«km. be was in heaven and In that par* of heaven to which she was* assigned to dwell, the heavenly gardens. The flowers there seemed endowed with life, some lifting their beads erect i» If conscious of possessing a supernatural strength for good, others modestly bowing as If in a sanctuary, whlitsoine crept on tht- surface as If cod sclous of unworthlueas. On all there shone a light of heavenly splendor Presently they raised their bends and turned them In the same direction. Pa pints looked, and there coming she saw the father of the flowers. He was smiling u[K»n her, and when he drew near be^aaid.“Welcome, Paplnts. Here we shall care for the flowers ontnunmcled the ills of earth. They will not be blighted by drought or storm. These have endured and died to be born again in this heavenly kingdom. Changes there will be, but not the changes through which they have passed. The transitions will rather be from one delight to another. Come, mother of the flowers, let me show you our heavenly children.” lie led her along paths that sparkled with crystals and shells and pebbles. The flowers as they approached turned toward them, breathing upon them aa they i>assed such fragrance as Paplnts bad never known before. There were the rich flowers of the tropics, wild flowers both of mountain and of lowland and 'tiny bits inch as violets and lllles of the valley. “These," said the father of the flowere. pointing to the larger ones, “are our grown'sons and daughters; these, the smaller ones, our younger children, and these, the tiny ooea. our babea."

Peking, succeeding Admiral Alexeleff in command of tbe Russian troops in August, 1000, and was congratulated by Emperor Nicholas for his services. For a time in 1004 General Llneritcb was governor general of tbe Amur territory, but later assumed command of tbe Russian forces at Vladivostok under Alexeleff and Is understood to have placed that fortress In a state *o resist a siege. Daring tbe Manchurian campaign he has been in charge of divisions in the field, and Is said to.be one of tbe few Russian commanders who possess the absolute confidence of his troops. Measured by the usual army retiring age standards. General Llneritcb is well along In years to conduct such an active campaign aa the Russians would have to wage In the far east to stem the tide of Japanese advance. Still, there have been other commander* who have made military reputations after they passed tbe threescore mark. Genera] Uneritrta. like tbe earlier Bna ■lan com in under*, will probably fln< that campaigning against the Jap ■halters rather than builds up military reputations.
