the French uousckccper's Way of Making
Them Described In u Lecture.
Economy is the watchword Of the
French people" said Miss Parloa in her
talk upun the characteristics of French
cookery ut the New York Young Wom-
ans Christian association, "and the
French housckeepcr, 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. One
may buy half lemon or part Of car
rot, and il is not thought unusual, and
only sufficient quantity is purchased to
supply each meal. and an unexpected
guest is never provided for.
Miss Parloa added that roasting and
broiling are hardly known among
the working classes, and pastry Is
made only in the kitchens Of the very
wealthy. IN American housewife may
take the lead In the making Of dainty
and fancy desserts. but to 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 3 table
spoonfuls Of butter or meat fat in soup
kettle and pour over il quarts OF wa
ter. Let il cook 10 minutes before add
ing pint Of potatoe cut into cubes
and s leoks 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 it when
cooked the required length Of time.
A French vegetable soup is made thus:
Cut a large onion into thin slices and
put them in pan with 3 tablespoonfuls
Of butter. Let them simmer together
half an hour and add quarts OF water.
Have prepared pint Of white turnips
cut 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 Glove Of garlic, an
eschalot. a teaspoonful Of sugar, one
third of q teaspoonful Of pepper and salt
and cook slowly all hour, adding some
chopped parsley 10 minutes before the
soup is removed from the fire. This soup
may also be used for q vegetable puree
by pressing it through a coarse sieve,
and to 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 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 of the first fat,
and when very hot stir in -four until 1t
forms thick paste-abOut pint OF
-four 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.

FERRYBOATS.
1he Kind That Were In Use . Hundred
Years Ago.

The horse boats between the cities OF
New York and Brooklyn may be cited
as early attempts TO solve the problem
Of transport by water. An interesting
feature OF these early constructions was
the use Of water wheel l2 feet or 30 in
diameter, with "a floats, the latter in
clined slightly TO the radius so as to
avoid the lifting Of the water, which IL
20 troublesome feature Of the radial
float These horse boats appear to have
been Of three general designs. In the
first frame, shaped somewhat like the
letter "A" OF an inverted ~" was
mounted 10 turn around its vertical
axis. Four Of these frames, dividing the
circle into eight parts, made sort OF
skeleton core. and this cone was caused
TO reyolve by eight horses moving in q
horizontal circular path about 90 feet
in diameter. The face gear, Is feet in
diameter, drove a three foot pinion
mounted upon the axis on the water
wheel shaft and the wheels We're within
the frame in an opening between half
hulls.
The second plan was Of conical
skeleton frame at an incline Of about
one in two, 80 that the horses had 20
travel up this inclined surface, causing
il to rotate with their weight and trac-
ton.
In the third plan-a smaller design
the paddle wheels were brought into
well between the two half hulls Of the
boat, catamaran fashion, us in the first
arrangement, and the frame was mount
ed above the wheels, and its rotating
motion was transmitted by intermediate
idle wheels to the water wheel shaft.
Boats Of the first and second class seem
% have been about 10 feet long.
IL Is interesting also TO observe that
the swinging bridge for ferryboat serv-
ice had been already thought out by
Fulton early in this century, with Its
counterweight construction and It's
windlass for making the boats fast
Such boats seem TO have drawn "A little

Mexican Railroads.

cut, with its LOO grade crossings and
its annual butcheries, and before long
we would have such an array Of crosses
that the grade crossing would have to
go. Here, of course, the road is the
rarity. No fence pens in the railroad.
II anything is on the track, the engine
removes il. A train hand told me that,
one trip being late, they hurried, and
in consequence killed three steers and
five burros in eight hours. All along
the track are skeletons stripped by the
turkey buzzards and whitened by the
sun. But cattle are as plenty as they
are big down this way

covered with long palm leaves. At the
head is "a weeping figure covered with
Grape, and on the table against the wall
are many pictures and trinkets which
were given to her. All the furnishings
of her room were formerly kept here,
but the dampness destroyed them, and
they were removed.

signer OF this elaborate memorial, is cut
In the stone. He will be remembered ss
the young artist she mentions In her
| journal as one to whom she was devoted

ton few years after.
And here 1t occurs to US to remark
that II these two young people had lived
10 this decade, they need not have died.
We recently had the good fortune to be
invited to the private hospital Of dis
tinguished French physician, who has
made many scientific and medical discov-
cries and inventions--to witness an oper-
alton, or incubation, for the cure OF con-
sumption. The science Is yet In It's In.
fancy, but he tells US he has already
cured sixty people, but is not ready to
publish It to the world until he has dem
onstrated more fully that 1t Is a certain
cure. He has already given 1t 10 se.ers
physicians In England who are expert
mentiug with It successfully, and the
physician to royalty In Russia came here
to get the secret from him In order to
try 1t on one Of the royal house, who Is
said to be recovering under the treat
ment.
You will be anxious to know what this
treatment Ia, and as he makes no secret
OF Il, we venture TO tell you, Withholding
his name. II Is simply the TRANSMISSION OF
blood, but the blood must be taken from
q perfectly healthy member OF the imme-
diate family--the father, motle, son.
daughter, brother or sister OF the patient,
SO as TO get no foreign or other wise OBJ
jectIonable blood. He does not claim IL to
cure person In the extreme last stages OF
consumption. though one OF his patients
told US that the other physicians had Civ
en- her up, and told her it was useless TO
do anything more for her, as she could
live but few days, but she is now well.
At the time Of our visit, it was
mother who was giving OF her life-biood
to her young son. An incision vas
made In the arm Of the woman, aud
the blood to the amount OF ten or twelve
drops was caught In small vessel, and
injected by means Of tiny tube, into the
arm OF the boy. The operation would
not have to be repeated In this case, he
Informed US, as the patient was only In
the first stages OF the disease, but In
serious cases IL had to be repeated few
more times, according to the severity OF
the case.
