Feet of the Fowl.

In purchasing a fowl always have
the feet sent home as well-following
the provident French fashion-for the
gelatine of the feet makes most pala-
table addition to the gravy or stock
pot. Water in which a leg of mutton,
chicken, turkey or a fresh beef tongue
has been boiled should be used for
soup, instead of being thrown into the
sink to clog the drain pipe with con-
gealed fat and tend to the enrichment
of the plumber. Cold mutton may be
hashed, served on toast with tomato
sauce, or made into q curry. A stew of
cold roast beef to which has been added
onion, tomato and peppers, red or
green, is a savory dish not to be de-
spised, while scalloped chicken or veal
and spiced beef. served with horse rad
ish sauce is good. enough for anybody.
The water in which rice is boiled con-
tains more nourishment than the cereal
itself, and should never be thrown out.
Set it aside for few hours and you
will have a jelly which may be utilized
in soup or a custard. The water in
which beans, peas, macaroni or barley
have been cooked should be put aside
and used in place of plain water in
making soup, while the water in which
cabbage is boiled should be saved by
itself for a soup crecy. The flavor Of the
cabbage with carrot Drowned in butter
makes a delightful soup without the
addition of meat. Washington Star.

The front door is on the street. Some

This front door leads into passage

There is almost always at least one
key to this side door. This il carried

these keys into the hands Of person

only solemnly pronounce the words

victim-The Lord have mercy on your
soul! You will probably go mad within
reasonable time-or, if you are

Especial WASHINGTON Letter.

-1 SSPeSAAA washington Lette3.J
a new industry has sprung up in the
cities along the Atlantic coast; and a
Few OF the ney-makers have come to
washington recently and set up their
business.
Last December there came to this
city a man, with his wife and two sons,
In dilapidated wagon, drawn by
bony and sorry-looking white horse.
On the side of the wagon appeared the
sign: Hutchinson-Morgan Family of
Singers"
This Strengthening outfit anchored
near Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the
center market, in very busy part of
the city, where the throngs at night
are thickest; and there folded organ
was brought forth from under seat,
was set up on platform at the rear of
the wagon, the woman began to play,
and boy about Is years of age began
to sing.
Nature has gifted him with strong
contralto voice, and his method indi-
Gates bit of culture. Within ten min
utes the wagon was surrounded by up
wards of a hundred people. The woman
and her boy sang revival songs; and &C.
casionally the younger lad, about ~
years of age, sang a solo.
Night after night during the entire
winter, excepting only the week of the
blizzard, the alleged gospel chariot
went to that spot, and gave its per-
formances without paying license or
tax for the privilege. Collections were
taken several times each evening; and
it was made manifest to close observ-
ers that this professional gospel bust
ness was paying we'll.
The head of the family is little bit
of man, with eyes which do not look
fairly at the audience, and which are
downcast when engaged in private con-
~ersation. Between songs he OCCASION
ally appears on the platform, with a
Bible in his hand, and makes pretense
of preaching. He doesn't know enough
about the Bible or about systematic
theology to enable him to instruct a
crowd of infant-class children, but he
makes a rambling sort of talk which
stands for sermon. This disagreeable
part of the performance is nightly en-
dured by the gathered crowd, who de-
sire to hear the singing. The alleged
preaching is necessary in order that
the deceit may be complete and the law
respected.
Because of the pretense that this is a
religious effort, sincere soul-saving
performance, the police department of
the national capital permitted that man
and woman to keep those little boys
out until almost midnight night after
night during the cold winter. They were
kept there singing in order to gather
crowds from whom collections might
be taken. 1t is a contemplate business
and exceedingly reprehensible, because
it is conducted in the name of the Cos
pei of love.
Two weeks ago there came to town
one Sunday night another gospel
chariot. 1t bore the name of a preach
er and his wife, and ostensibly hailed
from Buffalo, N. Y. The preacher was
a coal black negro. He is brighter and
smarter and more entertaining than
the white man who has kept his chill

servances of q century ago. They are
still firm believers in. the efficacy of
amulets and relics, much more so than
the Catholics of the north. A favorite
pilgrimage of the young people of the
city is to the old cemetery of St. Roch,
wherein stands a chapel containing a
marble representation of the Corpus
Christi. In this chapel there is large
square table with several hundred tin
candlesticks. At the cemetery en-
trance votive candles can be purchased,
as we'll as diminutivet images of St. JOS
eph holding the Christ child. The
common belief is that the burning of
one of these candles. when accompanied
by prayer, will cause ones wishes to
be fulfilled, especially those of a senti-
mental nature. The image of St. JOS
eph, who, according to the tradition,
had warm heart for, love-sick SWANS
and damsels, in order to work wonders,
should be carried head down until ones
wish has come true, the argument be-
ing that the saint, prompted by nat
ural desire to be placed in more COM
Portable: position, will speedily answer
the prayers of the worshipers. OF
course, the faith in these and similar
manifestations obtains only among the
ignorant, yet few visitors to the city
fail to burn candle at St. Roch's or re-
turn to their homes without an image
OF St. Joseph in a brass casket.
Slowly but surely these ancient be.
liefs are dying out, and with them, too,
will depart more of the quaintness of
Creoledom. But one interesting form
OF. population New Orleans will always
have--the negroes. And these negroes
are the most shiftless and thoughtless
OF their race. Thousands of them live
in such abject poverty and squalor in
that part of the city which has by COM
mon consent been set apart for them
that truthful account of their mode
OF existence would not be believed by
northern readers. 1mprovidence and
utter disregard for future needs seem
here to have reached the fullest meas
ure. And yet they appear to be happy
and contented, free from care and abb
solutely unconscious of, responsibility
to themselves, their. families or their
country. The man who said that a full
stomach maketh a glad heart must
have had in view. the negroes of the
south, as nowhere else does the stom-
ach play so great a part. 1t is, in fact,
the ruler of all things; and nothing
could create any. social revolution in
Coontown as long as some sort of food
was obtainable. The matter Of raiment
cuts no figure whatever. In fact, the
less said about it the better for every
body concerned. G.. W. WE1PPERT.

NYACK. n. Y. Dec. 2O.-Sublime faith
in Providence is an attribute of Arthur
Jordan and his wife, but Providence has
not been kind to them. Patience, the
three e-months-old daughter of the Jordans
died in the hovel occupied by the family

and small boy, his son Ross, five years
old.
The Jordans came here about three years
ago. Jordan spent his time in preaching
to negro laborers in the hrickyards In Hav-

remunerative. He started away with the
boy and a stock OF Bibles the day before
Thanksgiving. leaving his wife with four
other children In the hovel on the noun

All she had was the children and faith
in Providence. He was sure that Provi-

her brood. but he has not assisted Provi-

Mrs. Jordan and her children have been
taken in hand by charitable organization

food and clothing. An effort will be made
to get Jordan to return and go to work.

The day before Annie and her lover were
to have been married the young man was
burned to a crisp at one of the Bethlehem
Steel Company's blast furnaces. Annes
grief was heartrending to see. From
bright, healthy, good-looking girl she faded
almost into skeleton. Her countrywomen
here gave her every care. but within
couple of weeks her grief had driven her
insane.
The young woman was taken to the Nor
