Oceans of Soup.

There is enough canned soup sold
each year to float half hundred war
ships. At least, that is what man IN
the business of preparing the stuff
saws. He has been fifteen years can
ming goods of all kinds, and he says
that no branch of the trade has made
such strides as the soup industry. Last
year was the most successful IN his
experience, he adds, and the chefs and
workmen in his factory worked on an
average OF eight hours day only.
This season promises to be record
breaker, and for the last five months
the full force has been engaged on an
average of eleven hours day turning
out soup.
"Last year, he remarked, in giving
details of the great industry, 1--WE
canned 2,350,000 gallons of it. 1t
would be possible to food the entire
Erie Canal with this quantity OF soup
turned out annually here and else
where. This year, Judging by the way
we have started off, our output will be
over 5000, 900 gallons. Canned soup
has become popular for various rea-
sons In the first place, it can be pur-
chased cheaper than it is possible for
the housewife to make it. Then, again,
there is no bother attached to its con-
sumption. 1t needs no seasoning, and
does not have to be cooked. All that
is required is to heat it. The cans are
prepared with the greatest of care, and
will stand any sort of climate, whether
it be the torrid zone or the clustering
Arctic.
"There are, of course, more than
one hundred kinds of soups prepared
at our cannery. The most popular,
however, number about fourteen.
They are the oxtail, beef, chicken,
mock turtle. pea, tomato, green turtle,
terrapin, consomme, mulligatawney,
maccaroni, vermicelli, iullenne and
okra or gumbo.
"rhe best materials are used in the
construction of the soups, and we have
some Of the best Partisan chefs obtain
able, who prepare the stuff. We ex-
ercise as much care and regard for
cleanliness at our factory as is OBJ
served in any kitchen, private or pub
lie. All our soups are put up in quart
cans, which is sufficient to supply
seven or eight persons. The soups
vary in price. The average for the
ordinary cans is about thirty cents
each. The more delicate soups sell
for seventy cents quart. New York

Heave Ho!

Heave ho! the anchor over the bow,
And off to sea go
The wild wind blows and nobody knows
That have you always nigh,
Right close in my heart / can keep you
here
In memory fond and true,
For there'll never be one like you, my dear
Therell never be one like you.
Oh, no! the pillows OF Biscay Bay,
And the stars of the Southern Sea!
But the dark-haired girls may shake their
curls.
With never look from me;
For the thought of my love shall be ever
near
Though wide is the ocean blue,
And there'Il never be one like you, my
dear
There'll never be one like you.
The end OF the world is weary way,
And know not where it lies,
And maidens fair may smile on me there,
And girls with laughing eyes;
But in all the days of all the year,
Though wander the whole world through,
There'll never be one like you, my dear
There'll never be one like you.

A Glass Box for Perishable Articles

There seems to be no limit to the
ingenuity bestowed upon the devisiug
of means for accomplishing the trans
port of the perishable produce of dis
tant chimes to the English market. A
new method is that of packing butter
in q box made of six sheets OF ordin-
airy glass, all the edges being covered
with gummed paper. The glass box
is enveloped in layer of plaster OF
paris. one-fourth of an inch thick, and
this is covered with specially prepared
paper. The plaster being bad con-
ductor Of heat, the temperature inside
the hermetically-sealed receptacle
remains constant, being unaffected by
external changes.

Good Morning.

The sun has swept away the night,
And all the eastern sky-aglow
With golden clouds and rosy light
Says to the waking world below,
Good morning.
Above the branching sunlit trees
The curling smoke wreath floats ala.
Before dissolving in the breeze.
And signals to the last dim star,
Good morning.
The buttercups and daisies fair,
That nod and whisper in the breeze,
Repeat the salutation there,
And murmur to their friends, the bees,
Good morning.
The song bird singing in the grove
Has turned his voice his mate to greer,
And, waking her with thoughts of love,
Sings tenderly. in wood notes sweet,
Good morning.
The modest wild rose Of the vale,
Its face turned up toward the sky,
Sends perfume on the summer gale.
And breathes to all with fragrant sigh
Good morning.
Across the mead from fow'r to fow'r,
The butterfly in colors rare,
Fits on, unmindful of the hour.
And says, with most coquettish air,
Good morning.
And so from meadows and from hill.
From passing breeze and glancing ray,
From messy glades and ripping rill,
Comes borne to me bright and gay
Good morning.

The Dream of Love.

Love is fitting shadow,
The dream of passing sleep,
That soothes for time each sorrow,
And dries the eyes that weep.
Love is a restless slumber
That leaves the heart strings sore
At the slow but sure awaking,
When its fltful dream is Ger.
Love is transient vision,
A glimpse of purer sphere,
Whose influence lives forever,
Though brief Its sweets appear.
Love is an hours deusion,
A wine for the heart and brain
That leaves, when its hour is over,
Sweet thoughts that are warped with pain

But turn not away from their smiles nor
their tears
Both part of an infinite plan
Let me live in my house by the side OF tho

| And be q friend to man.
know there are brook-gladdened meadows
ahead
And mountains of wearisome hight;
That the road passes on through the long
afternoon
| And stretches away to the night.
But still 1 rejoice when the travellers re-
joiee,
| And weep with the strangers that moan,
/ Nor live in my house by the side OF the
road
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side of the
road
| Where the race OF men go by
They are good, they are bad, they are weak,
they are strong.
Wise, foolish--so am /.
Then why should 1 sit in the scorner's
seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?-
Let me live in my house by the side OF
road
And be a friend TO man.
