SOME EXCELLENT SOUPS.
General Directions For soupmaking--A
Few Good and Easy Recipes.

General Directions For soupmaking-A
Few Good and Easy Recipes.
The old fashioned soup of 80 years
ago was a thick, glutinous mass, which
was dinner in itself. In this age the
French soup is the delicate liquid usual
ly given. Meat for soup should always
be lean, and that from the shank is ex-
cellent. Ii is muscular and full Of nntri-
ment. For every quart of soup allow
a pound Of meat without fat. 1t should
bewashed, then placed in a kettle with
quart and a pint of cold water and
tablespoonful of salt. After boiling
slowly for five hours there viii be only
quart Of the liquid, the extra pint hav-
ing been lost by evaporation. There are
soups OF which meat is not one of the in
gradients. The vegetables very often
form the foundation, and with good but.
ter and good seasoning they are consid'
cred admirable for the table.
In the making of soup it should never
be allowed to boil fast, but to simmer
gently. Remove every particle of scum
that rises on top when the stock is made,
which is really the foundation of most
soups; then when cold the fat can be
taken off with a spoon, leaving the jelly
clear and inviting. 1t is a good plan for
all families to have a stockpot, which
can be kept simmering on the fire. In
fact it is indispensable when a variety OF
soups are needed. The following recipes
are vouched for in the New York Herald;
For bouillon put into stockpot 8
pounds of q shin of beef, pound of a
knuckle of veal and quarts of water
and simmer gently. AS soon as the
scum begins to rise skim carefully until
it ceases to appear. Then add salt, 2
carrots, 2 onions. leelzs, turnips and a
little celery. Simmer gently four hours,
strain and serve.
When julienne soup is desired, divide
two medium sized carrots in two, then
cut into very thin slices of about an incn
long. Take the same quantity Of turnips,
onions ana few pieces Of celery, all cut
into thin slices, and put them into a
saucepan, with piece of good butter,
on a moderate fire, stir softly until the
vegetables begin to color slightly. Add
three pints Of stock and boil gently one
hour. Ten minutes before serving put
in a little onion all chopped up; boil
little longer, adding a tablespoonful of
green or canned peas previously boiled.
For noodle soup take ounces of flour,
very little salt and yolks of eggs, with
which make tolerably firm paste. Roll
it out very thin, taking care to sprinkle
some flour on tho table, SO that the paste
does not stick. Fold it in two, cut it in
very thin slices of about an inch long
and blanch them in cold water 10 min
utes. after which put in cold water for
moment. drain and serve in pints of
boiling stock.

EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION.
Address at the Barnard Club-Educs
tional Exhibit.

tionai Exhibit.
The Barnard Club held its regular
meeting Saturday evening. Walter G.
Webster delivered an address on "The
Antiquity Of Egyptian Civilization and
its Problem" In substance Mr. Webster
spoke as follows: 1.-THE present century
has seen wonderful growth in the
knowledge Of the history of the Egyptian
civiliZ ,;ion. The French have taken the
lead in this wonderful work, Champillion
giving the key to the hieroglyphics early
in the century. BE ore he middle of the
century another Frenchman, Mariette
the creator of the Museun n Of Cairo, had
vastly increased our knowledge, and
within the last ten years DIR. Flidrs
Petrie, most CAREFUL and systematic in
vestigator. aided and assisted by the
English Egyptian Exploration Society,"
has removed many misconceptions aud
advanced many new theories, besides
adding vastly to our stor9 of definite
knowledge.
The Egyptian civilization remains to
us in its temples and its pyramids. its
architecture, aud its sculpture. Paint
ing did not exist. It's architecture is AL
ways true to its itself, and presents the
square arch like the opening OF door
with the two uprights and the fat cross
piece.
Hence in time arose the columna struc-
ture, like the famous Hall of Columns,
but the primitive temples OF the time Of
which we speak had little or no decora-
tion. either hieroglyphic or other. The
Temple Of the Spinx, excavated in 1880, is
famous example, and another tempt @
near the great pyramid is equally barren
or contemporary decoration. The "step
pyramid, of Sakkorah, built by the
fourth Pharoah of the first dynasty,
shows that the Egyptians had thus early
mastered the relation between the cir
cumference and the radius OF the circle
The great pyramid fills space euual
In extent TO the square bounded by West
minister, Orange. Friendship and South
Water streets, and rises to a height equal
to twice the height of the First Baptist
steeple, plus sixty-four feet. These in
their construction show that the early
Egyptians had tools, drills and saws rs
nne and as perfect as any now in use,
and that they possessed knowledge Of
construction as exquisite as any archi-
tects OF n later time.

WAS 1T INCENDIARY?
A $4,000 Fire in the SIade Building
this Morning.
DAMAGE TO A TAILOR SHOP.
The Fire Started i'm One Of the Rooms
Under Suspicious Circumstances and
Two Men Were seen Lurking Near the
scene-Goods Were Badly Damaged.

Just before o'clock this morning an
alarm Of fire was rung in from box 232. at
the corner of Washington and Eddy
streets for blaze in the block known as
the Slaie building located at that corner.
The fire broke out i'm the tailor shop oc
cupied by Henry Cohen & Brothers. con-
stitutin0 the firm known as the Rhode
Island Clothing Company, and burned
through the floor and partitions.
The firm occupys rooms l and on the
second floor, fronting on Washington
street, and when the firemen arrived on
the scene the smoke was forming in
heavy masses from room 2 at the farther
end of the corridor. The fire itself
seemed TO be confined TO this room, and
1t was here that the efforts Of the depart
ment were concentrated. The glass in
both the doors was broken out and a
host Of firemen were quickly battling
with the fierce flames.
The Protective force spread their tar
pauiins in the store occupied by Colyer
a. Newhall, saddlery suppliers. and by
active work succeeded in covering the
entire stock, and .prevented great loss,
ing near the door in Room 2. aud was
probably Of incendiary origin. William
Spencer. watchman in the Richmond
paper building on Fountain street,
stated that he saw two men lowering
about the building shortly before the
fire. and their suspicious actions aroused
his suspicion. Before they could be ques-
toned, however, both disappeared, aud
moment later the fire was discovered.
The interior OF Room 2 is completely
gutted, and in the corner where the coal
box stood a large hole was burned in the
floor The partition between the room
aud the hallway was burned through
and the room was blackened and charred.
In this department were the machiues
used by the sewers and every machine
was damaged badly by the water. The
The coal box was burned to a crisp and
large stock of partially finished cloth-
ing was also burned and ruined by
water.
The firm manufactures pantaloons for
the wholesale trade. and had about 1900
pairs in stock. All this stock is badly
damaged by the smoke and water aud
the entire loss is estimated by Mr. Cohen
as about $1,000 on his stock and $500 on
the building.
The stock is insured for s. 500 through
the agency of Charles Beach.
