The Making of Soups.

There are but two kinds of soup
cream or clear. In making the latter
half milk may be used, or the yolk of
an egg, instead of literal cream, ex-
cept in making q bisque of CLANS.
There nothing but the genuine article
will suffice. Don't skim soup. What
rises to the surface is what you want
in your stock. Get the foreleg of beef,
never take a hind leg. Use one quart
of cold, soft water to one pound of
meat, and edibles, simmer one hour to
each pound. Put the cracked bones in
the bottom of the kettle. lay the meat
cut from them on top. add water, and
simmer For the last hour add the
vegetables. Strain in and set in a cold
place. but not in the refrigerator. The
next day take the grease off the top, if
it is winter weather; in the summer
leave it on, but, of course, only take
the jellied stock from beneath it. This
same grease may be tried out in boil
ing water and used for all purposes of
drippings- Never add the salt to soup
till the last thing. Al 1t will harden the
water. Thicker cream soups with one
tablespoonful of butter to two of -four.

HOW I MADE $1,000

BY not sowing Salzer's seeds! That is
what jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had I
planted a few acres more of his oats,
wheat. corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me $1,000. 1t is fact that if you
want big, rousing farm, grass and vege-
table crops, you must SOW Salzer's seeds
IF YOU WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND 1T
with &c postage to the John A. Salzer

JUST TEN YEARS
Since a Remarkable Happening.
An Interesting Interview With q Promi
nent Commercial Traveller.

The newsgatherer on his daily search for
items of interest often comes across happen

ing a recent conversation with Mr.. A. d..
Cransby, the well-known commercial trav-
eiler with the Cochran Lumber Company,

noticed small lump in her breast. She
thought nothing of it, but it increased in
size rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin, and commenced to discharge. She
was put under treatment of the best physi-
clans, but they very soon found that they
could do her no good, and simply prescribed
autiseptics to keep the place clean. Both
her grandmother and aunt, by the way, had
died with cancer, and when appraised of this
fact, the doctors told me that they would
not attempt to save her; that she was in
durable. Although the cancer had by this
time become deep seated, and her health
very low, l had one of the most noted spe-
cialists of New York to treat her. After
treating her awhile, this doctor admitted
that the case was hopeless and further
treatment useless. 1t is difficult to imagine
how Respondent we all became, knowing
any relief. 1 had spent over five hundred
dollars with the best medical skill to be had,
and felt that there was no further hope.
ssOne day I happened to read an advertise

most eminent physicians in the country,
confess had little faith left in any human
agency. However, l purchased bottle Of
s. S. S., and to my delight, it seemed to ben
eft her; after she had taken a couple of
bottles, the cancer began to heal, and aston
ishing as it may seem, a few bottles more
cured her entirely. You can probably bet
ter understand how remarkable this cure
was when l explain that the cancer had
eaten two holes in the breast two inches
deep. These healed up entirely, and al
though ten years have elapsed, not a sign of
the disease has ever returned, and we are
which we at first doubted.
81 certainly regard s. s. s. as the most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it is
truly God-send to those afflicted with this
terrible disease Yes sir,'' he concluded,
''you may be sure that shall always be
grateful to that remedy, for without it my
home would now be desolate and my chill
dren motherless. "-Memphis, Tenn, Com

First Letter Carriers.

1t is not clear that the letter carriers
were regularly employed before 1853,
when tradition tells us that benjamin
Franklin, the new acknowledgement
employed them in Philadelphia, and
possibly in New York. The earliest
evidence | have is of 1862, when the
Philadelphia postmaster advertised
that his boy had run away, and that
patrons must call for their letters at
the post office. The Postal Journal OF
Hugh Finlay, storehouse of sound in
formation, tells us that Boston had no
letter carrier in 1878. OF New York,
he says that ''soon after the arrival of
a mail the letters are quickly deliv-
cred by a runner" which means mes
senger or letter carrier Record.

The best remedy is to change the diet

is excellent in such cases. while relief

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

-Camphor for Nervous Headaches:

come in the back of the neck and at
the base of the brain, try rubbing the
neck with camphoT. 1t is not neces-
sary that the camphor should get on
the hair at all, and it should give great
relief to the pain--N. Y. World.

chatting dish as many oysters in the
shell as it will hold. Steam thorough
~ for twenty or thirty minutes, or un-
til the shells will open. Remove the
upper shells. season with butter, salt
and pepper, and serve Immediately
with slices of lemon.-Good House

OF bread crumbs. pour over them one
gill of boiling milk, cover and allow to
soak for fifteen minutes. Beat up
smoothly and add two ounces of butter.
Tour ounces of rich cheese tgrated), salt,
pepper and dry mustard to suit the
taste, and the yolks of two eggs. Beat
up thoroughly and add the whites of
the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Butter
small cases, pour in the mixture and
brown in a hot oven. Serve very hot
and quickly.-Orange Judd Farmer.
-Sour-Milk Mullins: To a pint of

hot water. Make rather a thick batter
and beat it well. Have the griddle of
a moderate heat, grease it and also the

half full of the batter. Increase the
heat little. IN about eight minutes
turn them and let them lie three min
utes longer To turn them without
spilling requires some dexterity.-Bos-

Apple Dessert: Fill quart bowl
with alternate layers of thickly sliced
apples and sugar, add half cup of
water, cover with a saucer held in
place by a weight, and bake slowly
for three hours. Let it stand until
cold. ard it will turn out round mass
of clear red slices imbeded in delicious

dessert of blanc mango, junket, GUS
tard, cold rice pudding, etc, there is
nothing prettier or more satisfactory,
and it is the most easily prepared of all
desserts. -Housekeeper.

NOVELTIES IN NECkWEAR.
Some OF the Pretty Things the Up-to-D Date

Some of the Pretty Things the Up-to- Date
Girl Winds About Her Throat.
As to neckwear, a novelty is the black
chiffon boa made of frills of finely
plated chiffon wound around and
around. A large bow of black velvet
ribbon is at the back of the neck A
muff to correspond has puff of black
velvet, through which the bands pass,
trimmed on the sides with a wide
plated ruffie of black chiffon standing
out in fan shape.
Flower collars are among the pretty
things for wearing with high waists of
chiffon. They are merely a band of
ribbon covered with small blossoms,
and fastened under large bow at the
back. One of small English hedge
roses covers a pink satin band nearly
three inches wide, while another has
pink rose-buds not half blown. and a
third, of violet satin, is covered with
Parma violets finished by huge bow
of ribbon of the same color.
Flowers have suddenly become i'm
portant as trimming, as they usually
do in mid-winter. This is not only
true of bonnet trimmings, as the En-
glish fashion of flower garniture for
winter bonnets was adopted long ago,
but more especially on ball dresses.
At present tulle rivals chiffon for
gowns for large balls, like the Patri-
archs,' or those private balls given to
introduce a daughter of the house.
And for tulle there is no more appro-
pirate trimming than flowers, in gar
lands around the neck, in ccrsage
bouquets, and in clusters or vines on
the skirt. Here violets are in great
favor, either purple or white. but
above all other flowers roses are used,
with or without foliage. as pink is now
thought to harmonic with almost as
MANY colors as are the many green
shades of which nature displays in foli-
age. A double or triple skirt of white
tulle, each cut exactly alike. and all
with uncut edges except the top one,
is made very full over silk or satin for
dancing dresses. The low simple
waist, somewhat in baby fashion, has
epaulettes or wreaths of flowers rest
ing on the large pulled sleeves. The
favorite tulle dress is white, and after
that pink. few of the gray and violet
tulles being seen this year.-Chicagc
