A Great Attraction.

The Winnesheik County Fair has
secured the greatest and newest attrac.
ton out in 1899, O'Kabe's japanese
troupe, consisting of ten people. The
most responsible attraction bureaus say
it is the best troupe in the United
States. They exhibited in New York
a few weeks ago, it being their first
out of their native land. Their entire
performance each day in open air on
the fair ground. The public will see
an exhibition worth the entire admis-
sion to the fair in addition to the other
attractions and exhibits.
Besides the O'Kabe's the managers
are working to secure as full line of
amusements and exhibits as will be
had at any other fair in Iowa. They
are willing to expend money for some
thing that the public will appreciate,
and are determined to have good ex-
hibits and to pay for them.
The people this year ought to respond
and give them daily attendance of
10000.
Dates, August 20, 80, 81, and Sept. /.

CYCLE NOTES..

An idea for enterprising boys Of the
sturdy kind is for them to post them
selves at the foot of steep hills on pop
ular roads and offer their services for
pushing riders up to the crown of the
incline
Glass houses ON bicycle wheels are
now used by horticulturists for hasten
ing the growth of plants. The advantage
is that they may be easily moved from
place to place where the conditions for
rapid growth may be the most favora-
BILE at any particular time.
Riders Of bevel gear bicycles are in.
formed that jumping on the pedals is
not the way to get the best results A
steady, even pressure is the proper
thing. The same suggestion is worthy
Of the consideration of all riders ire
spective Of the wheel used.
"a skillful rider" says dealer,
twill always ease the bicycle over an
obstacle. This accounts for the fact that
where one machine will last three or
four seasons another exactly similar ma
chine in every detail will not give the
rider one-tenth that result.
1t is strange how bicycle sometimes
develops an inexplicable, exasperating
squeak. 1t is certain sign that some
thing is wrong somewhere. but it defies
all endeavors to locate it, despite con-
tnual oiling in every part where fric-
ton is possible. Very often the squeak
will disappear as quickly as it appeared,
1t will give to riders who have adopt.
ed wider tires some satisfaction to know
that in series of experiments made by
the Missouri department of agriculture
it was found that it required much less
trouble to pull a loaded vehicle having
wide tires than when narrow tires were
used. This was found especially true on
poor roads.
1t is becoming matter for interest
ing speculation where the tide Of patri
otism is to cease in its effect upon cycle
dom. Bicycle stockings with red, white
and blue tops and sweaters having the
national colors running in lateral stripes
around them are being plentifully dis
played in shop windows. and, according
TO reports are being freely purchased

CONCERNING SOUP.
How various Odds and Ends May he
Utilized In It's Preparation.

How Various Odds and Ends May he
Utilized In Its Preparation.
The cook who would succeed in send
ing good soup to the table must take
care that she has strong and excellent
stock ready for it, and the economical
housewife will soon find that stock does
not always require meat to be bought
for its production.
The water in which mutton has been
boiled, the bones taken from rolled ribs
Of beef or from any boned joint or poul-
try, will make excellent stock for a
family soup. The trimmings of large
Joints or outlets, the shanks Of lamb or
mutton or ham, and the large bone of
the sirloin Of beef will all add to the
stock pot and supply good foundation
for the soup.
Soup should never be made with hard
water, unless it is Of green peas. whose
color is preserved by the hard waker.
The rule as to quantity is one quart
Of water to pound of meet without
bone. If the quantity Of water is di-
minished, the soup is increased ia
strength and richness.
Meat should be put into the soup
kettle with very little water at fest,
and with piece of butter to keep il
from burning. It should be left to stew
very slowly until the essence Of the
meat is extracted. Very long and very
slow ,stewing is one secret Of good soup.
Skim the soup pot frequently, and do
not let it cool until it is thoroughly
done Onions should be put into the
soup soon after it has begun to cook
herbs, carrots and celery three hours
afterward; turnips or any other del
icate vegetable just before the comp is
finished. When celery is out Of season,
the seeds of the plant, tied up in a
piece of clean muslin. will give the
favor equally well.
The coloring of soup is done in vari-
GUS ways. A piece of bread, very brown.
may be simmered in the soup for a
short time before it is done and will
give it brown color. The ordinary
coloring, however. is done by putting
little burned brown sugar into it. The
sugar is first put into saucepan with
a piece of butter the size of walnut
and little catchup. For those who do
not dislike them burned onions are an
improvement both as to color and flavor.
When clear soup is desired, the stock
can be clarified by breaking an egg and
using the white and the she'll but with
not particle Of the yolk in it. The
white is beaten to a stiff.

The republican political bosses do not
seem inclined to attempt cracking the
political whip over Governor Pingree's
head. He was made governor OF Michi-
gan, not because the political bosses
loved him or admired his Independence
Of political machine methods, but simply
because they were afraid Of him. He
was SO strong with the voters Of the
state that they feared the result OF y
campaign with his influence against
their ticket and, when man reaches that
position in his home state, the bosses OF
his party arc always very careful not to
attempt any political whip cracking over
his head.
