Bouillon.

Titus Munson Coan writes to Hdrper's
Weekly that in his opinion Americans
do not make enough use of liquids. and
especially of soups, in their diet. We
live in dry atmosphere, we have a
whitening summer climate, and, except
for the iced water that we consume
during the hot weather, we who es-
pecially need liquid foods use less of
them than any other people in Christen-
dom. Soups are used freely in many
parts of Europe. The Germans are
drinkers of beer, the English of beer
and tea, the French of wine and choco-
late; but the American has no national
beverage except during the dog-days,
and then he does not pour down
enough iced water to last the year
round. Whisky, the National stimu-
liant, cannot be called true beverages;
certainly it cannot be imbibed at the
rate of eighty ounces per day. What,
then, is lacking in the diet of COM
munity which stands in special need
of more generous liquid dietP One
thing is needed especially, and that
thing is soup. Except in the cities.
Americans eat very little soup. A
good bouillon, or pot au feu, the most
economical and appetiziag of foods, Is
what we should use far more than we
do. at is the outcome" says DR..
Radcliffe, ''of ages of experience in
people who have had special genius
for cookery. The animal and vegeta-
BILE ingredients are so blended that the
flavor of no one article is predominant.
The bouillon contains oil, or almost
all, of the soluble portions of those in
gradients which are necessary for It's
sue-forming or plastic purposes and for
force production" A good pot au feu
with bread is an excellent and sufficient
meal, provided always that the pot au
feu is made from good piece of meat.
A good bouillon may indeed be made
from tough piece, but what remains
behind will be innutritious and indi-
gestible, its virtues having gone into
the soup. have remarked in French
families that the housekecpers provid-
ed good meat for the pot au feu, and,
though they boil 1t two or three hours,
they take care not to extract its vir-
tues entirely by too much boiling, SO
that the bouilli, or soup-meat, Is good
and palatable when served with a
sauce.

1t Was Too High Flutin.

A little church up in Vermont had
minister who was n very devout man,
but an extremely commonplace
preacher. Nevertheless. old Deacon
Smithkins attended church every Sun
day. and for years and years he had
not been missed once from his accus-
toned seat. He was, however. often
heard to express his contempt for the
preachers sermons in language more
forcible than eloquent Recently the
financial condition of the church has
been very materially enhanced by the
benevolence of wealthy old gentle
man, and in very short time the in
adequate pastor was dismissed, and
another mana man exceptionally
brilliant-was. installed in his stead.
On the Sunday when he made his debut
tho old deacon was in his accustomed
place. The young theologian made an
especial effort, and his sermon, in point
of rhetoric and deep thought, eclipsed
anything that the plain folks had ever
heard before, but it was altogether too
heavy for the plaiu, homespun people
of the little village
The next Sunday the parson preached
again, but, to everybody's surprise. the
old deacon was absent Another and
another Sabbath went by. but no
deacon appeared. One day the parson
met him on the street
'Ah, Deacon Smithkins," said he,
''you do not come to church now.
You were there the first Sunday I
came. but I haven't seen you since.
What in the world is tho reason you
don't Gomez"
"Waal, parson," said the deacon.

Another scene Of hilarIty was enacted by
the friends OF w ]. Stone.
The chair announced the result and
again shouts rent the air until hair stood
on end on baldheads, and faces usu.

When order was restored Mr.. Stone
proceeded with an address of thanks full of

appropriate oratory. The gentleman said
nothing but what struck the right spot.
His words were those of consolation and
confidence in those who had opposed him

A Queer Suit.

St. Louis, August 2S-Suit has been en-
tered In the circuit court here which is
likely to attract good deal of attention,
particularly In Catholic circles and by the
managers of Catholic institutions. The
style of the suit is 5. Auguste Chouteau
and Ida K. Taylor, Chouteau, his wife,
against the Visitation convent corporation
Of this city, Robert McNicholas, trustee,
and others.
The history of the case is briefly stated
as follows: Miss Louisa K. Taylor, sister
of Mrs. Choteau, and daughter of the lats
George r. Taylor, very wealthy and welfO
known citizen OF st. Louis, was educate&
under the influences of the order of Sc.
Francis De Ssles and some two years ags
announced her determination to become a
nun, and although opposed by her family,
did enter the convent of Visitation. Prior
TO this, however, she voluntarily conveyed
her property, estimated to be worth $780,
0O0 TO her sister Ida, then unmarried,
under a written agreement that she expect
ed &c take monastic vows with the order of
St. Francis de Sales, but should she not do
so or on entering and afterwards severing
her connection with the order, then the
property was to be restored to her. Some
months egoMiss Taylor left the convent and
announced, it is said, that she had with
drawn from the order and asked for the
restoration of her property. Her sister,
suspecting the sincerity of her act, demur-
red at giving back the property, and Miss
Taylor brought suit to recover. Miss Chou
teau not desiring to enter into litigation,
re conveyed the property, and short time
afterwards Miss Taylor transferred it all
to Robert McNicholas, as trustee, for the
use Of the convent of Visitation and few
weeks later, Miss Taylor re-entered the con-
vent anu took the black veil. The plaint-
ifs in the petition allege fraud and collu-
sion against the officials at the convent,
charging them with using undue influence
with Miss Taylor and entering into
scheme to obtain the property and seek to
set aside the deed by which it was re con-
veyed, and also the deed under which it
was transferred to McNicholas.
