Charles Close of Danbury, Conn, has
discovered new use for the bicycle. A
short time ago he made an instrument that
plays ten popular airs. Still the Danbury
Yankee was not satisfied. He found that
before he had wound or ground out half
the tunes of his wonderful music box he
had to stop to rest his aching arm. To
overcome that unpleasant feature he con-
structed bicycle, with a driving wheel in
the place of the usual rear wheel. The
machine was made stationary, the fly
wheel being elevated from the floor. A
f1ywheel on the organ, connecting with
the bicycle by broad belt, did the rest.
A day or two ago Mr.. Close and his wife
celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of
their marriage, and on that occasion Mr..
Close entertained his guests by mounting
the bicycle and playing the whole roper
tory of music in his unique machine.
The guests got away alive.

United States Interference
Would Be Offensive.
POSSIBILITY OF WAR.
Should Remember SPANS
Kindly Past Action.
In Civil War Times American
Prisoners Cared For.

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-Another
stirring chapter in the Spanish-Cuban
controversy was added by the Senate
yesterday. Many senators indica ted
a desire to be heard on the subject,
and the conference report, accepting
the house Cuban resolutions, went
over until to-day. In anticipation
that the last stage of the Cuban ques-
ton would be reached, the senate gal
1eries were besieged by the greatest
crowd seen since the session opened.
The speech of the day was made by
Senator Hale of Maine, in vigorous
opposition to this resolution and to
the offensive interference of the
United States in foreign questions.
The senator declared the spirit of
militarism was abroad in the land:
that our course involved the POSSIBLE
tiles of war, with all it's dreadful con-
sequences. Mr. Hale brought out the
kindly action of Spain at the time of
our civil war, when British built pri
vateers were prevented from remain
ing for any length of time in Spanish
ports, and when American prisoners
were aboard they were released by
Spa Dish orders.
A dramatic incident occurred when
Mr.. Hale offered to read the state
ment of Minister de LONE of Spain,
caI1ng IN question the accuracy OF
some of the statements made by SEN
Rtors Sherman, Morgan and Lodge
concerning Spanish atrocities Mr..
Davis of Minneapolis quickly objected
to the reception of a document from
foreign minister not formally trans
mitted. Messrs. Mitchell of Oregon,
Morgan and Teller added their protest
in the same direction For a time
there was some confusion and a pros
pect of a serious conflict, but the
serenity of the debate was restored by
Mr.. Davis Withdrawing his objection.

GOOD SOUPS.
The General Stock Pot Represents the
Best System-To Clarity Stock.

The General Stock Pot Represents the
Best System-TO Clarity Stock.
Stock is the foundation of all good
soups. The most economical system is
to adopt the general stock pot. Into this
any odd scraps of meat, brisket, broken
bones, the shank of a ham, trimmings
and bones of game and poultry of all
kinds may be thrown. In this way moth
ing is wasted. Salt meat alone is not
good for the purpose. To the general
stock pot add onions, sliced carrots,
turnips and herbs, and seasoning such
as spice, salt and pepper. Stew all to-
gether for hours until of a rich consist
ency; then remove from the stove and
let the stock cool When cold, the fat
will have settled on the top and can be
easily scraped off and set aside for future
use. Bones will cause more fat to rise
than will meat
Replenish the stock pot constantly.
Never allow it to be neglected. for even
If the contents grow beyond your pres
ent needs you can boil them down to a
glaze, which is always useful in the
kitchen. In making stock you may aver
age the rates of quantity at, say, two
pounds of meat without bone to two
quarts of water. The less water the
richer the stock. Vegetables should not
be thrown into the general stock pot un-
til the ingredients are to be boiled, or
they are apt to turn the liquor sour.
The water in which mutton has been
boiled is very useful in making stock,
and hint worth remembering is never
throw away the water in which either
rice, macaroni or barley is boiled. It is
thick and good and makes an excellent
foundation for soup. In making stock,
as the water boils away you can add
more, and when the liquor is poured off
by adding yet more water you will make
a second stock.
To clarity stock take the whites of a
couple of eggs to 4 quarts Of stock and
half pint of cold water. Break fresh
eggs, separate the whites from the
yolks, and whisk the former in a basin
with half pint of cold water for 10 or
10 minutes. Pour the mixture into a
stewpan and add the boiling stock grad
ually. whisking all the while. Set the
pan over the fire, and when the con-
tents are near boiling point whisk
again, draw the stewpan aside, and let
all settle till the whites of the eggs are
separated. Strain through cloth. With
good stock as a foundation variety Of
soups may be made.
