WHY SOUP IS WHOLESOME. The Lon

WHY SOUP IS WHOLESOME. The Lon
don Food Journal says Physiologic-
ally, soup has great value for those who
hurry to and from their meals, as it al
lows an interval of comparative rest to
the fainting stomach before the more
substantial beef and mutton is at
tackled, rest before solid food being as
important as rest after it. Let hun
CRY and weary merchant or lawyer rush
in medids res-plunge boldly into roast
beef, and what is the RESULT The de-
feat is often as precipitate as was the
attack. When the body is weary the
stomach must be Identified with it, and
cannot therefore stand the shock OF
some ill-masticated half-pound weight
of beef. But if small plateful OF light
soup be gently insinuated into the
system, nourishment will soon be in
troduced, and strength will follow to
receive moro substantial material.

lungs and begun.
Great heavens what solemn
sound. and such an echo 1t was
simply grand. c. tried it again
1t would have filled 'old Bentz with
envy, could he have heard those mourn
full strains.
''On the principle that enough was

with an eye TO using our improyised
bugle again on the next propitious
night, We refrained from any further
refrain, and slowly retired, hiding the
nozzle under pile of coal in one the
cellars.
1.-The next morning there was the
tallest kind of row. The man who
had charge of the engine house report
ed to the commandment that the engine
room had been broken into and one OF
the MOBILES stolen. 1t was of no use
to ask questions, or to hunt for it, No
one knew anything about it. We kept
low for two or three nights, until the
row had blown over, when we went out,
and G. blew the church-call again
ately. Once was enough for that night;
we did not dare try it again. The com,
mandant the next morning called upon
some of the widest of the wearing
class, and told them he suspected they
We're at the bottom of it, and that if
he found out who it was that was en-
gagged in it, the severest punishment
would be the result; but they all hon
estly and stoutly denied it.
1t was very natural that the com
mandant should have thought the
'yearling class had perpetrated the
joke, for generally they are the most
reckless class but in this case it WAS
the dignitied Cd second class and he
never once dreamed that they were
guilty of such boyish freak
"Some few nights after this, c.,
with his usual audacity, treated the
residents of the post to another dose of
church call Mt midnight, and cleared
out in time to save himself This was
too much.
"The commandment the next morning
published an order that if he should

Spring, and have him tried for house
breaking. We all concluded that the
last CHAIR had broken the camel's back,
and that repetition would certainly
result in capture and disgrace so one
night, in the we small hours, two or
three of us suspended the offending
nozzle by a string to the academic
staircase, where next morning it was
found slowly vibrating in the wind,
with board covered with white cloth
nailed above it, and the aggravating
words Ki-yi yi!!N printed on it in

traitors proved unavailing, and we have
often had n good laugh over this scrape.

Ssvage-whose relentless tusks
Are content with acorn husks;
Robber-whose exploits ne'cr scared

Shamhling, shutting plantigrade,

Here, whore Nature makes thy bed,
Let thy rude, half-human tread,
Point to hidden Indian Springs,
Lost in ferns and fragrant grasses,
lowered DER 10y timid wings,
Where the wood-duck lightly passes.
Where the wild bee holds her sweets
Epicuroan retreats,
Fit for theo, and better than
Fearful spoils Of dangerous mar.

From the pilgrim taking toll:

A New Musical Instrument.

AT concert recently given at Utica,
N. T., the new musical instruments in
vented by Mr. II. B. Horton were for
the first time exhibited to the public.
These instruments are dolce camp
ana, a eornucindia, and vinia bass
The dolce campana is about eight feet
high and six feet wide Fastened to
the front surface, or sounding board,
by screws running through their cen
ters are fifty glass bells. In front of
the sounding-b board, which is in an up
right position, the key -boardis arrang-
ed on an ordinary cabinet about the
size offs medium cabinet organ. Be-
tween the sounding board and the cab
met the player sits, with his black to
the bells. The keyboard includes two
sub-key-boards for hautboy and flute
attachments, the bellows for which,
together with the one controlling pneu-
matte drum, is managed by treadle
The vinia bass is about six feet high,
and presents the surface shape of a palm
leaf. One string, which is as heavy as
the deepest string of piano, extends
from the base te the curl at the top
At the lower end of this string rosin
wheel, about six inches in diameter,
turned by delicate crank about half
way up the instrument comes in con-
tact with the string, upon which stops
producing great variety of notes are
played by keyboard. The keys and
stops take the place of the fingers on
the ordinary bass-viol, and the rosin
wheel answers to the bow With the
exception of the horn attachments,
which give it an imposing appearance,
the cornucindia is similar to the -melo
deon. The viula bass is powerful and
capable of great execution. The music
of the dolce campana is similar to that
of the bell obligato of an orchestra. -
The ingenious mechanism of its move
ment enables 1t to execute the most rap
id movement, and therefore its capacity
for execution surpasses anything attain
able by hand bell-playing. 1t is con-
densed bell-ringer-a sort of "Swiss
family by machinery

As the railways no longer suffice for
the transport of the enormous require
ments in munitions, clothes and pro-
visions of six hundred and fifty thous-
and German troops at present on French
soil, long trains of wagons have again
begun to traverse the roads. Trains OF
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
two-horse wagons repeatedly pass
through Cologne, bringing oats direct
from Dresden and Nancy to the troops
before Paris. From Dresden to Nancy
takes for such wagons four and half
weeks, and from Cologne to Versailles
fourteen days, 50 that about seven
weeks elapse before the transport
reaches its destination. One may i'm.
agine the enormous expense of such a
transport.
