MUSHROOM SOUP.
How to Prepare a DeIicnte and Un-
 common Dish.

How to Prepare DeIicHte and Un-
 common Dish.
 A soup that is extremely delicate is made of mushrooms.
 Clean thoroughly, with dry cloth, a pound of good mushrooms, break them up,, and lay them in clean pan with small onion and half a small turnip or a slice or two of a large one; put about two ounces of butter in the pan with these, and let them cook gently for 25 or 30 minutes in a closely GOV cred pan; now add a quart of any white stock (that made from mutton shanks is excellent for this purpose, as it gives substance without much taste, and so leaves the mushroom flavor unaltered) and let 1t all simmer together slowly for an hour; then rub 1t through the tam- my, thinning it if necessary with lit- tie milk, or thickening 1t by boiling it up sharply to reduce it, as may be re- quired then. at: last add a Jason of ecrean1 and egg yolk, and serve either with fried croutons or garnish of button mushrooms stewed separately with little butter. This soup should be seasoned to taste with salt and pep per after it is tammied, and just brought up to, but not over, boiling point before putting 1t into the tureen, which as in every case should have been scalded out with boiling water to heat it.
 For this, as for every puree, little care with regard to the croutons Is we'll repaid. These are usually minute dice of bread. fried 80 hard that 1t Is almost impossible to get the teeth through them, and consequently they are either left or bolted whole with the inevitable result--indigestion Croutons for soup should be prepared thus: Cut the bread fairly thin, and then either stamp it out in rounds, the size of q shilling. or cut into squares of about the same size; have ready some hot fat, drop in the bread, and if the fat is at the temperature it should be, minute will suffice to color the crou- tons pretty golden brown. and to crisp them; now turn them out on a piece of kitchen paper i'll warm corner to drain, and sprinkle if liked with lit tie finely minced parsley and coralline pepper. If preferred, the bread can be laid in well-buttered tin, and baked in the oven: if cooked thus. however, it is nicer to steep the bread in little soup or stock before putting 1t in the oven.

Bears in Maine Are the Victims of
 Many Kinds of Rad Luck

Bears in Maine Are the Victims of
 Many Kinds of Rad Luck
 The total failure of the beechnut crop has brought the Maine bears to the verge of starvation, so that many sly old animals are coming out to the clear ings and getting shot while looking for something to eat Ben Kingsbury, who lives in Tilden village, lost four sheep lately from pen attached to his house, and the tracks in the yard showed plain ly that bear had committed the deed. Last week a two-year-old cub was shot and killed among the shavfngs and rot ting timbers of an abandoned shipyard in Bucksport village, the bear having gone there to pick the fat grub worms from the decaying wood. Two bears went into a deserted camp near Nor cross, and in gnawing the spilled fat from the floor closed the door and were compelled to stay there until they starved fo death. Louis rancfs, an In- dian, found their bodies last week and was angry at the county treasurer be- cause he could not collect the bounties.
 Jack Gilpatrick, an aged bear
 
 this side >sofs Chicks hill, in this town, gaseqnp the hunt and took in his traps asnaonth ago and went to shooting and poisoning bobcats ber cause he could find no bears. ' Late in October he went out for more wildcats, and in passing through beech wood saw recent traces o< bear that had been scratching up the fallen leaves and eating what few beechnuts of last years crop he could find. The next day Jack went down to the store and bought bushel of a new kind of buck wheat, which had large kernel. A grain of bucl1wheat bears the same re- iation to. 8 becchnut that a snowball does to satellite; they are shaped alike. but one Is Infinitely larger than the other. But Jack boiled his buck wheat all right, and when he spread It among the beech trees the next morning bear that wore magnifyfng glasses might possibly mistake 1t for beechnuts. Some hunters came along while Jack was setting his bear traps among the buckwhoat and covering them with leaves. and when they saw what he was doing made fun of him and told about him at the post office, so that everybody heard of 1t, and the story got into the newspapers.
 Two days later Jack took big fat bear to Bangor and sold it for s3o. Since then he has caught two smaller bears from the same lot, and is looking for more. As the bushel of buckwheat cost but 75 cents. Jack thinks it was good investment~--N. Y. Sun.

BEAUTY FROM A BACK VIEW.
Women with Good Figures Do Not AL
 ways Have Good Looks.

It is unwise to judge of a young woman's looks by view of her figure from behind. as Washington young man found to his cost.
 Two pedestrians were walking down Pennsylvania avenue one afternoon re gently A fine-looking woman was walking in front of them. She had a good figure, was we'll dressed, and from the distance of probably 30 feet which lntervened between the two men and the supposedly beautiful woman she might have been taken for a Diana.
 "Ill wager she mysterious female is as beautiful as Venus and as lovely as Aphrodite," said one man to the other. Make it a half dozen choice cigars and I'll go you" said the other. Far from being pretty, I am positive that she is absolutely homely."
 That's q go," said the man who had first spoken. and both increased their speed so as to overtake sthe object of their wager, who had been walking ahead of them for probably block As she was passed the plotters turned and
 
 ever, as not to disconcert her, and then passed on. The man acknowledged that he had lost. without attempting in the least to save his bet There was no use. for the lady was really ugly. there was no doubt about that. She was terribly plain, and the difference between the appearance of her face and what might have been expected from her figure and general makeup was surprising.
 Hyou'll give me the secret by which you found that out I will throw in an- other half dozen cigars" is what the man told his friend
 1 That's the easiest thing in the world. If you just tumble to the fact once," said the other. If you had noticed. as I did. that although several men passed the woman, coming in our direction, not one of them took the trouble to more than glance at her. Some of them did not look at her at all If she had been good1looking these men would have given her more than q glance. If she had been pretty they would have let their eyes rest upon. her at least until she had gotten past them. If she had been as beautiful as you imagined they would haveturned their heads to look a her. I noted this. and l made my bet or this conclusion. Just try it yourself and you will see that I am correct."- Chicago Chronicle.

Just what 1t is that induces poison
 Ivy to play it's injurious pranlSs on some
 people at some times and not at others
 is still a profound mystery. One thing
 is certain. that the number of people
 susceptible to the poisoning influence
 must be extremely few. from the fact
 that in the vicinity of Philadelphia the
 highways and byways are overrun with
 the plant to an enormous extent. It is
 frequently impossible for people to go
 by without brushing against it. and
 if it is the vapor or some exudation from the plant which causes the tron-
 ble thousands of persons must be un- der the influence to every one who suffers from it. The writer of this para graph knows of tract of land on which | the plant grows profusely and on which many scores of laborers arc employed. | These laborers are frequently set to weeding and pulling out the plant by the naked hand. and, so far as the writer knows. none of these men were
 ever poisoned by it. The cattle eat if l grecdily whenever they get an oppor- | tunity. It seems to have no injurious | influence on them.--Meehan'S Monthly
