SOME EXCELLENT soups.
General Directions For soupmAkinE-.
Few Good and Easy Recipes

General Directions For soupmaking-A
Few Good and Easy Recipes.
The old fashioned soup of 80 years
ago was thick, glutinous mass, which
was a 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. 1t is muscular and full of nutri-
ment. For every quart of soup allow
a pound of meat without fat. 1t should
be washed, then placed in a kettle with q
quart and a pint of cold water and q
tablespoonful of salt. After boiling
slowly for five hours there will be only
a 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 a stockpot
pounds of a shin of beef, a pound of q
knuckle of veal and 3 quarts of water
and simmer gently. As soon as the
| scum begins to rise skim carefully until
| it ceases to appear. Then add salt,
carrots, onions, leeks, turnips and q
| little celery. Simmer gently four hours
strain and serve.
When julienne soup is desired, divide
two medium sized carrots in two, ther
cut into very thin slices of about an incl
long. Take the same quantity of turnips
onions and few pieces of celery, all GU
into thin slices, and put them into
saucepan, with piece of good butter
on a moderate fire, stir softly until tn,
vegetables begin to color slightly. ADD
three pints of stock and boil gently ON,
hour. Ten minutes before serving pu
in a little onion all chopped up; boil
little longer, adding n tablespoonful o
green or canned peas previously boiled.
For noodle soup take 4 ounces of flour
very little salt and yolks of eggs, witt
which make tolerably firm paste. Rol
it out very thin, taking care to sprinkl
some -four on the table, so that the past
does not stick. Fold it in two, cut it il
very thin slices of about an inch lon
and blanch them in cold water 10 min
utes, after which put in cold water 70
moment. drain and serve in 3 pints c
boiling stock.

A FTREMAN'S STORY.
This One Is Of Strong and
Peculiar Interests.
From Life of Severe Exposures and
Hardships.
The Entire Buffalo N. " Fire De
partment Knew This to be True.

Firemen can tell exciting and thrilling
experiences.
Theirs is life of the severest exposures
and hardship. They are the bravest men
in the world and their word is of the
highest weight
Here is an experience which is certainly
interesting and may be valuable. 1t is told
by George B. Maxon, of 81 Franklin
Street, Buffalo, n. Y, who has been a
prominent member of the Buffalo fire de-
partment and who is well and fayorably
known in that city.
Il was a member of the Engine Co. No.
l of the Buffalo Fire Department" he said,
land was laid up with rheumatism, from
which 1 suffered severely. 1 consulted
doctors but they did me no good l tried
everything that was recommended by my
fellow associates, and in trying all the diff
! ferent remedies recommended to me, was
discouraged until 1 saw DIR Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy adver'
tised in one of the daily papers. made
up my mind to try just one bottle of this
medicine, at first not having any more
hope that it would help me than some Of

the others had been trying. took it, as
the directions told me, and before had
taken the contents of one bottle felt Il
change for the better.
Il took four bottles and it completely
cured me, and that is nearly four years ago
and have never been bothered with it
since.
Il thank DIR Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, for this, and nothing else
cured me. Before using it did not know
what sleep was for over two months.
heartily recommend this great medicine to
all who are suffering with rheumatism or
neuralgia"
As the above proves. DIR Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy is an abso-
lutely sure cure for rheumatism and neural
gia, and it will always and quickly cure
headaches, backache, or any of the aches
or pains so prevalent at this season of the
year. You have only to use the remedy to
be sure of its beneficial effects. 1t is purely
vegetable and harmless and is sold by all
druggists for 81.
Doctors recommend it for it is the dis
covery and prescription of physician, Dr.
Greene, of 80 W. 14th Street, New York,
the most successful specialist in curing all
forms of nervous and chronic diseases,
The doctor can be consulted free, person
ally or by letter.

them quickly into water; place them at
once on a toaster, toasting them gradu-

Learning Rapidly.
Four or five of us had been discussing
tramps and their ways as we smoked our
cigars. when the man with the flowing red
whiskers pulled faded old parchment from
his pocket and handed it out for inspection
with the remark:

ion as to whether it is n good thing or not"
The parchment appeared to be 200 years
old, while the writing was in Spanish and
the seals those used by the crown Of Spain.

The difference between the treatment
of men accused of crime under American
law on the one hand and that of CONT

be more forclbly exemplified than by the

suspected murderer to be hypnotized
with the object of extracting from him,
while in this abnormal condition, Informal
ton of the whereabouts of his alleged VIC
TINS that he will not give while in his

hardly ready to admit that the phenomena
known AS hypnotism is worthy of any OBJ
servation at all. There has been great
deal of humbug carried on in its name and
the medical fraternity is very cautious
about making Acknowledgements of its
truth, but the Dutch law permits accused
persons to be hypnotized for the purpose

put off and on. Capes. by the by, are an
important rival of coats, and are made
in a great variety of fabrics and of vary
ing lengths. The cape especially COM
mends itself when the wearer is her own
dressmaker, for with a good pattern a
woman of taste can make a cape with
far less labor than she could possibly cut
and make coat or cloak. When de
signed for street wear only, the cape is
generally finished with a collarette or
bertha ruffle, but if designed for travel
ing or wearing ont in the evening it may
be finished with a silk lined hood that
can be drawn up over the head. This
style of cape is especially adapted to
ocean travel or other occasion when a
hat or bonnet is an inconvenience.
Large cloaks of thick, soft wooden ma
terial, lined with silk or farmers satin
and trimmed with fur. are also worn.

goods that shrink, if placed on the old
