This was very encouraging to General Gordon, and he at once started for ETien-Tsin to find Li Hung Chang to whom he wished to unfold the plot. To Gordon’s dismay, he found the great Chinarnan averse to the scheme, and emphatically declined to be a party to it. He literally “put away the crown.” Gordon made no secret of the disappointment attending his venture” and so expressed himself to those who I had assisted him in South China.

One Sunday evening a conference be- ftween the “conspirators” was held at EHongkong, participated in by many Representative Chinamen, and to this {assemblage “Chinese" Gordon expound- :ed his views in relation to the desir- iability of upsetting the reigning; dynasty and placing Li Hung Changi gupon the throne.

In this form it is an active fungicide, and will kill all the spores! of all molds it touches. It should not be put on, however, until the cellar has had a chance to dry pretty well. i E ”It not infrequently happens that in summer the closing of u cellar for a considerable time is necessary by absence of the family or by other cause. During this time eVerything in it except the metal and the glass is completely covered with mold fungi and the air smells moldy to the lust degree. \Vood and leather especially suffer from this molding. Such :1 condition is unhealthy in the extreme. First. the cellar is damp, sufficient alone to induce low diseases in they inmates of the upper stories; second,3 the fungus is likely to produce spinal ' meningitis if its spores find their way into the system. Here are a few timely words on the care of a part of the house that is not infrequently neglected even by otherwise admirable housekeepers: obtained from sour milk by drain- ing off its whey is beaten with two eggs, :1 little sweet milk and “sugar to taste." Then flavor with cinna- mon and bake in a crust in adeep pieplate. Another dessert I remember, was vinegar pie. A piepan was lined with crust as for custard pie. This was filled with a mixture of cold water. richly sweetened, slightly thickened with flour, to which was added suffi- ciem vinegar to give a strongly acid flavor. A pinch of cinnamon was sprinkled over the liquid after it was poured into the crust, then slender stripes of pie dough were fastened across to make a tart. if baked in a properly heated oven the liquid as it cooked, thickened into a sticky paste, TAKING CARE 0!.“ THE CELLAR Pies made of dried apples, stewed and mashed, are common in spring- time, but, as far as 1 can learn, it is less customary to make them of a mixture of dried-apple sauce and green currants. I have been told that the sour leaves of both wood and field sorrel, Oxtails and Rumex, are sometimes pressed into service in pie- making. in parts of the west, farm- ers’ wives gather the green fruit of the wild frost-grape for pies,though 1 think this is more “to make a charge," as they say, since the grapes blossom and mature so late, that in most places there must be other fruits before the grapes are large enough to cook. In farming districts, where pie is .considered a necessary article of diet lin at least two out of three meals, when the season of small fruits has passed, housewives have only apples and dried fruits to fall back upon with which to make pies. So it is not strange that some recipes quite un- known to urban familes should have been devised. There, too, in pies as in preserves, variety is counted of consequence. In localities where elderberries are made into jelly and marmalade they are also used for pies. Even in the summer, when oth- er more palatable fruits, abound, quantities are stewed for this purpose. They are also dried or canned to use‘ in the same way in winter and spring? The odor of the fruit was to me al-i ways nauseous and I knew without tasting that I should dislike the fla- vor.
