The Art Of ~SOup-Making.

There is a constant controversy going
on as to the economy, digestibility and
necessity of soup at the commencement
of a dinner; some maintaining that a
dinner without it cannot literally be
called a dinner; others, prejudiced
against 'slops," discarding it from
their tables altogether; while a few who
would gladly, perhaps, take advantage
of an opportunity to reduce the meat
bills, have only the will, being ignorant
of the way. The average middle-class
wife and mother may have sighed over
the items of ribs and sirloins of beef,
and legs and shoulders of mutton, and
said to herself, ''Ah! we must take to
having a little SOUP" With praise
worthy promptitude and zeal, she has
.perchance opened her cookery-book, of
the old extravagant style, and closed it
sorrowfully, a sadder, if not a wiser
woman, the brain all dizzy from the.
strings of ingredients, and the long line
of knuckles of veal, shins of beef, "old
and slices of ham, which she is
commanded to ''throw into the stock
pot if she would insure success.
Now with soup-making, as with all
else, once master of the theory and the
practice is comparatively easy; while,
the other hand, years of practice
without a perfect knowledge of the why
and the wherefore will prove of no
avail. Let me illustrate my mean
ing clearly: the would-be soup
in scanning a recipe, discards it
as impracticable because she lacks one
or more of the ingredients mentioned,
while she who grasps the modus oper-
andi, owing to her theoretical knowl-
at nice substitutes others, or per-
naps dispenses with them altogether.
No doubt, in many families, the pre-
iudice against soup has arisen from the
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1884-10-24

fact that it is usually prepared and
served in large quantities, instead of, as
at the tables of the rich, in small por-
tons, though many of the kinds which
l hope to enumerate would furnish in
themselves a substantial meal for a
growing child. At any rate, the advan-
tages of commencing dinner with soup
are manifest in the saving of the meat
bills, and economy practiced in utilizing
scraps of all kinds for the making Of
the soups, and the comfortable sensa-
ton experienced after a little has been
taken; for let any person who feels, as
the saying goes, ''too hungry to eat"
swallow a few spoonfuls of soup, and
the feeling of exhaustion will quickly
pass away. Indeed, a well-known au-
thority has said that nothing tends more
to restore the tone of the stomach, and
make easier of digestion that which is
to follow, than a little soup.

held out her hand to Cousin George.

A Man Who Likes to be Hung.

Detroit Free Press.
A few days ago a young German
named Anton Dresser, who had been

street, attempted to commit suicide by
hanging. When discovered and cut
down his heart had almost ceased beat

But did you not know when you

you may call it, finally faded out, and

SUMMER

Summer roses fade and die,
Scattered wide their petals lie;
Sultry heat of sunny days
Scorched them meath its burning blaze
But In lakes, both cool and deep,
Pure white lilies wake from sleep:
And upon the ambient air,
Watt their fragrance, passing fair.
Charmed within their circle, l
List the s~ong-birds' melody;
Floating dreamily, / hold
In my hands their petals cold;
Yearning for the stiffness deep,
Where the water-lilies sleep;
Longing for ONE cool retreat,
Where the sky and waters meet.
Ever as / float / dream,
Until heaven and ocean seem
In the deepening twilight gray,
Blended with the dying day.
Roses, lilies, lotus-bloom,
Family mingle their perfume,
And the stiffness sweet and deep,
Charms me lightly into sleep.
SO I float, and floating fold
Sweetest fancies, which | hold
Closely gathered to my breast,
While ] dream of endless rest.
Twilight es,-the day is done,
Stars CLEAN outward, n by one,
While | slowly float in shore,
Wrapped In haze of care once more.

IT All Depends on the Stomach.

Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is a fundamental truth in natural
science that the whole organized world
is created with an especial regard to
the stomach. Cuvier and the other
comparative anatomists have demon
strated to evidence that a membranous
digesting sack is the simplest primeval
form of animal being, and that as or
g%anization progresses in completely
the stomach is ever the nucleus around
which heads, hearts, legs, wings and
tails are arranged, with an all but ex-
elusive view to the especial interests OF
that part. While, therefore, a stomach
can do very well by itself, in indepen-
dence of all that we are accustomed to
consider as the animal, no animal can
carry on the wal for five minutes with
out a stomach. The stomach is in
truth the immediate cause of all the
endless varieties of animal form, and
digestion the one main end of animal
existence. MN himself, that perpetual
object of his own admiration, is but a
more complicated zoophyte, a perfected
stomach, a transcendental machine for
the assimilation and elaboration of nu-
tritious particles. To eat, and to be
eaten, is the common lot of all living
beings; and if man be indeed the lord
of the creation, it is manifestly only in
the right of his omnivorous faculty.

"This may all be very fine talk about
