THE HOUSEHOLD.


An old fowl that is only fit for the
stock pot makes delightful stock for this
soup, and it NAV either be boiled till
every particle of goo-ness il extracted,
or if less strong stock is wanted, IL may
only be boiled till tender, and the meat
afterwards used up in some Of the made
dishes where white meat is required.
Add TO the stock while boiling, some
whole white pepper and a blade Of mace.
Strain and skim the stock; this last
operation is best done with what is called
kitchen paper, a most useful article, and
of which a supply should be at the COM
mand of every cook. Lay the paper on
the top Of the stock and draw it OF; the
fat on the top will adhere to it, and the
process should be repeated till the paper
comes off free from grease. For every
two quarts ofstock take three ounces Of
sago or tapioca, wash it in hot water, and
boil it in the stock for one hour. Break
the yolks of two eggs in a basin, and add
to them half pint of cream or milk;
pour into it gradually a little cf the hot
soup, then turn it al into the remainder
of the soup and heat it up, taking care it
does not oil. The stock for this soup
may be made Of rabbit, or Of veal, or Of
a mixture OF all three

IvcfDENrs ~ rms PonAB REGIONS.

] am assured byan officer of the recent
arctic expedition that exaggerated tales
are finding their way into the newspa-
pers as to the experience of members of
the expedition in question 4 not inapt
comparison 10 these may be found in the
tunes played by Baron Munchausen on
the horn, which were all frozen, but
which were all played forth when the
horn was thawed. The sledging parties
were the greatest sufferers in every re-
spect Is regards hardships and sickness.
The position of one of these and the
enduring physical results to the officer
in command, Lieutenant Beaumont,
deserves, he considers, more than the
casual notice they have hitherto re-
ceived This officer and his party Of
seven men were so long in returning that
a search party was sent to discover them. |
Ia this they succeeded, and not a mo-
ment too soon. -Four of the party werei
50 i'll that they could not go on, and the
officer in charge was in the direst ex-
tremity as to what he should next do.
Almost the only alternative left was to
leave the four men to their fate, and
push back with the three who were still
able to go on. 1T was in these circum-
stances that the feeling Of responsibility
came with crushing force upon him-a
feeling generally so little felt till man
finds himself with it thrown upon him,
and with the necessity of instant action.
The mental effort, or rather the mental
agony, endured in these conditions
changed in few hours the color of his
hair, and although young man, he is
now quite gray, and viii thus carry to
the grave unmistaKable evidence of an
anxious and conscientious desire to do
his duty He stuck to his helpless COM
rades, and when found by the relief par
ty he and his three men were tuggiDg
at the ropes, bringing forward their fall
len comrades, two at time, at rate OF
half mile per day. All the incidents
which occurred in the polar regions are
not, however, 50 serious as this. Here,
for instance, is one of another sort: An
officer who had taken out a supply of
boxing-gloves one day proceeded, ac-
companied by another officer, 70 the
snow house TO have bout with the
gloves. An unexpected though effect
ual, obstacle soon presented itsel to the
pursuit Of tho noble science. This vas
caused by their own breath. The spar

tended to be Of tac most friendly char
aeter, but they Glanced 10 breathe

distinguished gentleman from Ireland
lie made it a point to show his guest
everything which he considered peculiar
or in any way remarkable about the
premises, and especially including the
products Of the farm, and was a little
taken back by the remarks which fol-
lowed the display. Everything was adj
mired and commended, but, upon the
whole, he thought he had seen, in Ire
land, very much superior specimens; so
that, whatever was shown, was inferior

man was taken a little back by the dis

Then we take a prisoners character and

this case only after mature deliberation.

and cigar burning merrily in his
mouth, he is surely the most unclerical
OF all the preachers of the gospel. Yet
that short. thickly built man, with the
shock head Of hair hardly yet touched
with gray, with ample brown beard COW
ering his heavy jowl, and a thin line Of
moustache covering his capacious mouth,
Is the famous preacher for whom, when
yet a very young man, no building could
be found sufficient to hold mis- congrega-
ton. One plan he has ever pursued
during public life. 1t Is never TO reply
to personal satire or attack. Not even
a statement in print that he had pois-
oned his own mother would provoke the
shadow Of a reply. More than this, he
keeps not one volume; but several in
his library, filed with newspaper cut
tings Of an abusive character, and takes
particular pleasure in pointing out to his
guest the virulent attacks in which he
is designated mountebank, bufioon, BIAS
Phemer, hypocrite, and villain. His
dark brown eye lights up with a keen
twinkle of enjoyment as he comes upon
a particularly savage onslaught, and he
actually smacks his lips over caricatures.
