Benham's Course Approved.

WASHINGTON, Feb Neither the state
nor the navy department received any
further information on the Brazilian situa-
tion. Further information has been re-
quested from Admiral Benham. as there
seem to be one or two features of the Incl
dent that are rather vaguely understood
by the department..
1t is not known, and it is thought not to
be true, that any instructions have been
sent to Admiral Benham other than the
general instructions given to all naval COM
manders to protect the rights of American
citizens. He announced to the navy de-
partment last Saturday the course he pro-
posed to pursue, and 1t was undoubtedly
approved before he acted.
A surrender by Da CANA to Benham
would embarrass this government and
Admiral Benham has either signified that
he understands this or has been warned of
the fact. His purpose is not to be under
stood as intervening against the insurgents,
but simply as protecting American inter
ests against aggressions by the insurgents,
and the policy of the government is under
stood to be one of approval of Admiral
Benham's course in compelling recognition
of the rights of American shipping while
refraining from interference in the inter-
necine struggle in Brazil.
There is good deal of enthusiasm here
over Benham's course, and Representative
Money of Mississippi has announced that
he will introduce IL resolution to congratu-
late the admiral.

Pretty Divan Pillows.

One of the prettiest of pillows brought
not long ago from London is described
in the New York Tribune. 1t was made
of two hem stitched silk mutf1ers-such
as gentlemen use-or it can be made of
the handkerchief size If one prefers. The
English one was in pale blue. The muf-
fiers were united, upper and under side,
by band of lace insertion about Il
inches wide. The lace was in quite an
openwork pattern and was rather heavy
like the ecru torchon. Into this cover
before the last side was sewed was
slipped o pillow covered in pale pink
silk. The thing was delicately pretty
and vet at once serviceable, for the COW
er can be washed once week without
harm if one should choose. The tnser-
ton was sewed to the muffders in the
ssover and over" stitch, with the seam
on the wrong side.
There are many possibilities in pillow
covers of this sort. Even the fine, large
sized hemstitched linen handkerchiefs
combined with some fine lace can be
used with pillow of pretty shade OF
silk showing through, or the heavier
linen squares that come with many rows
of hemstitching for table centerpieces.
united with Smyrna lace, would be
pretty. Anything that will relieve us OF
the ruf1ed pillows ought to be for
change most acceptable.

THE MAKING OF SOUPS.
How All Good Cooks Decide Upon the Kind
of Snuux

How All Good Cooks Decide Upon the Kind
of Soup.
There is no part of the dinner of more
Importance than the soup, and none 9TH
er gives to the Cook a better opportunity
for the display Of sound Judgment and
educated taste. Good Housekeeping's
manner of making good soup Is here
detailed:
First, the meat to be used and the
bones must be placed in cold water.
The meat should be cut into pieces of
moderate side, and the bones should be
broken. AS all fat must be taken from
the soup In the process of making, only
lean meat should be used. Heat the
whole slowly. Then add the vegetables
and the spices needed to flavor the soup
and let all cook gently, simmering. hat
not boiling, for several hours. Wien
the vegetables are done. they should be
taken out, for what the soup wants is
the flavor of these, and not any part of
their dissolved substance.
The rule of Professor Blot was 3
pounds of good lean beef and 6 ounces
of broken bones to 2 quarts of water.
For this proportion he allowed five hours
simmering. The usual list of vegetables
to be used In stock are turnips, carrots,
celery, onions and parsnips. with little
garlic and thyme. Some chefs do not use
garlic even in small quantity. 1t is a
custom of French chefs to put the spices
in gauze bag and allow them to remain
in the broth long enough to impart their
flavor, but not their full strength. When
done, the soup should be taken from the
stove, thoroughly SKINNED again when
partially cooled and then strained
through fine hair sieve. Broth so made
is the foundation of all good soup. The
French call it bouillon. The English name
for it is soup stock. 1t can be kept a long
time in a cool place, and in preparing it
for the table its combinations are endless.
The rule of all good cooks is to first
select the bill of fare, and when that is
known to decide upon the kind of soup.
The dinner and the soup should never
both be heavy" as the phrase is. If a
heavy fish, such as salmon, trout OF any
other of the oily fishes, is to be served,
or if heavy joints and entrees are to fol-
low, light soup should always begin
the dinner. But when the dinner itself
is to be on rather the light order rich
soup should be brought on.
Soups may be divided into four classes
or kinds, as follows: Clear soups, thick
soups, purees or bisques and chowders.
Clear soups include all notifications of
the bouillon or broth.

GOULD'S BIG CHECK.
Alleged Account of How Mrs. Nicolaus Go
1t and Lost 1t.

Alleged account OF Row MrBs NICOl8uS OOt
1t and Lost 1t.
New YORK, Feb. IA morning paper
publishes a story from Chicago about Mrs.
Nicolaus and the $4,000 check which it was
said she had obtained from George Gould.
The story alleges that the check was given
Mrs. Nicolaus bya friend of Gould who
was ''badgered" by Ruhman at the point
of a pistol.
When the check was presented to George
Gould by Mrs, Nicolaus, he coolly asked II
she would leave it with him until the next
day, and when she called the money would
be waiting for her.
OF course she would, and the interview
closed. When Mrs. Nicolaus told Rub
man that she had given the check into the
keeping of Mr. Gould, he grew furious and
saw she had been led into clever trap.
Promptly at the hour Mr. Gould had set
for the second meeting Mrs. Nicolaus hand
ed her card to the doorman. He did not
even glance at it, but very coolly told her
that Mr.. Gould was not in. In vain did
she protest that her call was at the urgent
solicitation of Mr.. Gould. 1t was all USE
less, and she turned away. After they Sc
cured Howe & Hummel a settlement was
made for $4,000 cash. with proviso that
thew both go abroad.
