MISS PARLoA ON SOUPS.
The FrenOh HOusekeeper's Way of Making
 Them Daacrihed In a T.eotura.

Them Described In Q Lecture.
 Economy is the watchword of the French people," said Miss Parloa in her talk upon the characteristics of French cookery at the New York Young Wom- ans Christian association, "and the French housekeeper, no matter how simple the dish, excels in the making of 1t. The market prices are much higher in France than here, butter and sugar costing more than as much again. One may buy half lemon or part of & car rot, and 1t is not thought unusual, and only a sufficient quantity Is purchased to supply each meal, and an unexpected guest is never provided for. 1"
 Miss Parloa added that roasting and broiling are hardly known among the working classes, and pastry Is made only ill the kitchens of the very wealthy. An American housewife may take the lead in the making of dainty and fancy desserts, but to a French woman the making of soups and sauces Is the most important part of the cook cry.
 The following simple soup is said to be savory and delicious: Put 8 table spoonfuls of butter or meat fat in & soup kettle and pour over 1t quarts of wa ter. Let 1t cook 10 minutes before add ing pint of potatoe cut into cubes and leeks washed and sliced thin. Add teaspoonful of salt and one-third of pepper and allow this to cook very slowly one hour. Break slices of stale bread into pieces and put in the soup tureen, and turn the soup over 1t when cooked the required length of time.
 A French vegetable soup is made thus: Cut large onion into thin slices and put them in pan with 8 tablespoonfuls of butter. Let them simmer together half an hour and add 9 quarts of water. Have prepared pint of white turnips out into cubes, the same amount of pO- tatoes. half pint of carrots, half a pint of the white part of the leek cut into thin slices Add a clove of garlic, an eschalot. teaspoonful of sugar, one- third of a teaspoonful of pepper and salt and cook slowly an hour, adding some chopped parsley l6 minutes before the soup Is removed from the fire. This soup may also be used for Q vegetable puree by pressing 1t through a coarse sieve, and to pint of the thick soup add a pint of boiling milk.
 A paste for thiokening sauces is kept at hand for constant use. Here is the way to make one that will keep long time: Cut equal amounts of beef, veal and pork suet in small pieces. Put them in kettle with very little water and slowly render. Turn off the first fat, and when very hot stir in four until 1t forms a thick paste-about a pint of flour to pint of liquid fat. Put these into graniteware vessel and place in an oven and cook three to four hours. Keep in glass jars covered.

When Don Cameron Is retired from the senate of the United States on the 4th of Mnrch, 1t will be the first time In a generation that the senate has been without Cameron among its members. His father, Simon Cameron, entered the senate In 1845 and was famous Whig leader ten years before the Republican party was born. His son was elected largely through the fathers popularity in Pennsylvania If we leave out the brief period during the Lincoln admin istration, when Simon Cameron was secretary of war and minister to Russia, and three years following, when he was in retirement, the INll,.i of Cameron occupancy of senatorial chair will have lasted for over half century.

A Temperance Dream.
BY ELLA BEECHER GITTINGs.

''I had the oldest dream last night"
 Said little Tommy Dean, "I dreamed that 1 was running
 A temperance moving machine. "And brother Ed came just behind,"
 Said this queer Tommy Dean, Running with six big horses
 A temperance threshing machine. "And this Is how they worked, mamma,
 The funniest thing, you'll say The mower moved down each saloon,
 That came within It's way. 'And then the thresher threshed them out Oh, what dreadful crash When bottles, beer-mugs, whlsky-iugs
 Together went to a smash IF And now, dear temperance girls and boys Say-every one of you Who read of this peculiar dream
 Oh, don't you wish 'twere true?

Mans Bitterest Enemy.

''sin Is always mans bitterest en- emy," writes Dwight L. Moody in ''Mr. Moody's Bible Glass" in the La dies Home Journal. ''It separates him from his Maker. It separates him from his fellow beings. No position is too lowed but it seeks to corrupt no home so sacred but 1t seeks to destroy. Sin, like holiness, is mighty leveler, says distinguished divine.

FINS WAX WORK EXHIBITION.

Csotbfer Eernstein,s Generosity
Gives the Public "a Novel Show.
when Clothier Bernstein was in Berlin
last sumn1er, his attention was attracted
to q number Of elaborate groups of wax
figures. Like the public spirited citizen
he is, he at once concluded that the
people of Jersey City would be interested
in the groups and he Immediately secured,
at a large expense, several of the groups,
which are now on exhibition at Nos. 80
and 81 Newark avenue.
The first group in the show window
and is called THE Christmas Angel
It consists of six figures, remarkably
life like. They are the beautiful figures
of an angel clothed in white, an Old
woman at q toy stand, a mother and
lshild and a number of poor children on
their way to school.
The most artistic group is entitled
"The Infant Jesus and the Wise Man.
n shows the loWly Inanger at Beth
lehenn where the Savior of nkin was
born. The figures are also very life like
and the flesh tints are wonderfully true
to nature. This group is placed at the
head of the stairs on the second floor,
which has been transformed into a floral
bower. There is also a mechanical
figure OF q lady dressed in the height of
fashion who moves her head and eyes,
raises her l%orgnette languidly and twirls
her white silk paraSol.
