Good Soup

DEAR Mr.. EDITOR: I will give you a
recipe (Which friend gave us last summer)
for an appetizing soup: Take six tomatoes;
boil twenty minutes in one quart of water; rub
through the colander; let three pints of milk
just come to boil; stir into it the tomatoes;
roll half-dozen crackers fine; break an egg
into this and stir; season the soup with salt
and pepper and pour into the tureen; have
some bread cut into small squares; fry them
brown in butter and put into the soup.

The New steel Chicago and Alton railroad
bridge ocross the Missouri river, which hal
just been formally opened, is the only who'll,
steel bridge IN the world and this fact, together
with the size and Importance of the structure
attracted crowd OF near 10000 people. The
bridge consists OF five spans, $40 feet each in
length, and also $500 feet Of approaches. II
was designed by Mr.. Edward Hembere, OF the
American Bridge Co., Chicago, manufactured
under the direction OF the Chicago Il Alton
Railroad Superintendent OF General Construc-
ton, William Sovy Smith The steel used is
OF an entirely new manufacture, known as the
Hay steel, and was produced by the Hay Steel
Co. of Chicago. The tests showed it to be Of
remarkable quality, the difference of detection
between the five spans beng only fifth Of an
inch.
This bridge opens new and direct route to
and between Chicago and St. LOUIS and Kansas
City, and is OF great importance to the travel
ing public.
just as the engineers and superintendent
car was leaving the bridge, the steamer Kate
Kinney, in attempting to pass underneath,
struck the lower chords of the bridge and com-
pletely swept her smoke stacks away. This
event caused considerable excitement. but in
no way injured the bridge nor interfered with
the test.

schooner Kate l.. Bruce left Chica-
go late in the fall nearly two years
ago, laden with wheat, and bound
for Buffalo. The vessel was never
heard from, but one of her yawl
boats was picked up near Thunder
Bay year ago last spring. To-
day well-known diver informs us
that he has found the Bruce, off
the above place in six fathoms of
water. He went down in the
water and found the decks sprung,
caused by the swelling of the grain.
He went into the cabin, where
were the remains of some of the
crew, and as he could ascertain the
bodies Of two females and little
child. Our informant reports the
masts of tho unfortunate vessel
wanting, but that an effort will be
made to raise her.
