Physique and Dress.


Their physique is notably good. and they
stand cold and hunger admirably. They
arc active. and at first view, light-hearted
and genuine: but in reality are cunning,
foul and unlovable. They are very unclean
rarely or never bathing their persons. The
dress Of the common people consists of a
very dirty, greasy sheepskin robe which
they Use as bedding at night. The taste
for trading is very strongly developed and
they seize every opportunity to make mon

them. and they enjoy IL. especially when
mixed with butter and salt Their tea is
sold il bricks and is of very inferior

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE
MISS PARLoA ON SOUPS.
Tho French tlousckccper's Way Of Mailing
Them Described In a Lecture.

The French tlousckccpcr's Way OF milking
Them Described In a Lecture.
Economy is the watchword Of the
French people, said Miss Parloa in her
talk unon the characteristics OF French
cookery at the Now York Young Wom-
ans Christian association, and the
French housokeeper, no matter how
simple the dish, excels in the making of
it. The market prices are much higher
in France than here, butter and sugar
costing more than as much again. Ore
may buy half lemon or part of car
rot, and it is not thought unusual, and
only a sufficient quantity is purchased to
supply each meal and an unexpected
guest is never provided for.
Miss Parloa added that. roasting and
broiling arc hardly known among
the working classes, and pastry is
made only in 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 10
be savory and delicious: Put table
spoonfuls Of butter OF meat fat in soup
kettle and pour over it ? quarts of wa
ter. Let il cook 10 minutes before add
ing a pint of poiatoe cut into cubes
aud leelSs washed and sliced thin.
Add teaspoonful of salt and one- third
Of pepper and allow this 10 cook very
slowly one hour. Break slices of stale
bread into pieces and put in the soup
turcen, and turn the soup over il when
cooked the required length Of time.
A French vegetable soup is made thus:
Cut large onion into thin slices and
put them in a pan with tablespoonfuls
of butter. Let them simmer together
half an hour and add quarts of VI ~.
Have prepared n pint of white turnips
cut into cubes. the same amount of po-
tatoes. half q pint of carrots, half pint
of the white part of the leek cut into
thin slices Add Glove 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 3 minutes before the
soup is removed from the fire. This soup
may also be used for a vegetable puree
by pressing it through a coarse sieve,
and to a pint Of the thick soup add a
pint of boiling milk.
A paste for thickening sauces is kept
at hand for constant use Here Is the
way 70 make one that will keep a long
time: Cut equal amounts Of beef, veal
aud 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 flour until il
forms a thick paste-about a pint Of
flour to a pint Of liquid fat. Put these
into a graniteware vessel and place il
an oven and cook three to four hours
Keep in glass jars covered.

A Crow That Ate CLAIMS.

a fisherman. His boat might be among
40 or 90 other boats, all coming in to-

EVERYWHERE throughout the Republic

EVERYWHERE throughout the Republic
there is witness of increasing courage
and that kind of confidence that resuts
in action. Businessmen speak of i'm.
provement as though it meant or was
soon to mean new profit to themselves.
The interests that have dragged appear
now TO have life that has both money and
brains behind it. The national finances
appear to be working into position of
strength and the administration evidently
means to convert this former source of
weakness into q bulwark that will pro-
tect and.encourage all financial interests.
The dollars of the people and the dollars
OF the rich are both at par and what is
better, both promise to get into wide
circulation soon in movement of larger
production Of everything that is taken
out of the ground or grows from it.
Better than all for the United States is
the prospect that our trade with foreign
peoples Will no longer becoutined to the
sale of agricultural products alone, though
exports of these bid fair to exceed any
year recently at prices netting American
industry unusual profits. From ocean to
ocean and from lakes to gulf the seeds
of discords are being turned into prom
Use of peace and plenty.

Ex-DELEGATE ANToEIo JOSEPH writes
letter to Mr.. Saint at Albuquer-
que in which he takes decided
stand for statehood, and advises the
proper course to be pursued in at
tanning this greatly to be desired result
Of course. The leading men of the terri
tory are unanimous on this question, and
among them there will never be any d.
vision of opinion as to the great good
that statehood will confer upon New
Mexico. Such opposition as exists really
amounts to nothing, and cut no figure at
all in the matter. The reasons given for
getting off on the mule side of the ques-
tion are so silly and childish, that they
will never gain moments consideration
from sensible people. Let us have state
hood by all means. The kickers will kick
anyhow, bat its feeble kind of kick to
which no one pays any attention. The
sound men of the territory are unit for
statehood.

Oh, the summer rose is bobbing
On the airy winter hat,
And for warmth the cabby's jumping
With will.
While the bulldog is hobnobbing
On the snowdrift with the cat
The toboggan's humping, humping,
Down the hill.
Oh, the winter wind is whining
Round the chimney with vim.
Der the ice Matilda s tripping
On her toes,
And with eyeballs shining, pining,
See yon little skater skim
While the hide is rudely ripping
From his nose,
From his nose,
While the hide is rudely ripping from hin
Oh, the golden corn is popping
With an effervescent bang,
And the merry blazes ripple
On the rug,
And on fairy seas I'm Hopping
Like blithe orang outang,
While dream about the tipple
IN the jug.
There's Shanghai rooster nesting
On the spinal Of the COW,
And the crust the sparrow dirkles
And yon little urchin wrestling
With his romping bow wow-wow
Sees the mllkman as he circles
Round the pump,
Round the pump,
Sees the milltman as he circles round the
pump.
Pile the logs upon the blazes.
Let them sizzle with a sizz,
While within the chair that's easy

Oh, float through fairy mazes,
Like the berry on the fi2z,
When the summers breezy, greasy
Zephyr blows.
While the wind is weirdly whining
Through my music haunted dream,
Ring the sleighbells' ding a-linglets
On the street.
Oh the apple jacks combining
With the water now a-steam,
And l. happy from my ringlots
To my feet,
To my feet
And I'm happy from my ringlets to my
feet.
