SOUPS AND SOUP STOCK.

SOUPS AND SOUP STOCK.
Soup making is one branch of cook
ing that is seldom fairly understood
by the ordinary housewife and is gen.
orally bungled by the average servant.
A good soup is never covered with a
coating of fat, because fatty soup can
never be called good. The most re-
liable remedy for this evil is the MAX
ing Of your soup stock in advance, and
then removing all the fat that by this
process has arisen to the surface.
To make a good soup stock use fresh
viously cooked-the only exceptions be-
ing the use of a fowl that has been
poorly roasted or a roast of beef that
was very much under-done.
A selection of two or three kinds of
meat is always to advantage and a soup
stock made of beef, veal and fowl will
be found much better than one made
from beef alone.
Again, it is little more trouble to add
to the simmering meat-for to make
good soup stock you must cook slowly
carrot, an onion, few peppercorns, a
bay leaf and a little celery and the adj
dition will greatly improve the pro-
duct. Remember a good stock is es
sential to the making of good soup.
To make soup stock use the cheap but
sweet pieces of beef and veal, more of
the former than the latter, say three
times as much, and the body of fowl,
with the additions noted above, and
the result will be satisfactory. You
should always skim the kettle two or
three times during the first hour the
ingredients are cooking. Soup stock
thus made will keep sweet for several
days if kept in cool place.
OF course, if you desire a distinctive
meat soup as of beef, veal or mutton,
you will not use the soup stock as sug-
gested above but prepare soup made
from the meat and having the flavor
desired. When this is done you will,
unless you allow the soup to cool for
the purpose, skim off the fat as careful
ly as possible, but even then it will not
be as clear as that made from stock
prepared in advance.
If it happens that your stock is not
clear, having perhaps boiled too quick
ly, you may clarity it by putting the
kettle aside where it will be hot but
not boil and stirring into the stock a
mixture of a couple of eggs, shells and
all, one-half pound of chopped meat
and a glass of water we'll beaten to-
gether. Then strain the stock and set
away to cool.
If particularly brown stock is re-
CURED you may deepen the color by
stirring into the kettle an iron spoon
full of burned butter and sugar. This
preparation is technically known and
sold as caramel, but you can make 1t
without trouble and without expense.
Another way to secure dark stock Is
to brown the onion in butter before
putting 1t in the kettle, but have
found the use of caramel more desir-
able.

PHILADELPHIA, November 49,


PHILADELPHIA November 13.-.
Though for years have been straying.
Yet my mothers faith held fast.
She believed. while she was praying,
That her boy would yield at last.
Go tell mother I'm forgiven;
Fill her old heart with delight.
I've started out for Heaven,
And I'm going there tonight.
These were the printed words torn
from Salvation Army song book
which were tightly clutched in the
hand of an unknown man who was
found hanging from the western end of
the Walnut street bridge this morning
at Z o'clock.
There was nothing on he body to
identify it. The remnants of the song
book were in his coat pocket, but with
the exception of that the pockets were
empty. The man was apparently 40
years of age, 5 feet inches in height,
and weighed about $50 pounds. He
wore a shabby gray suit, black derby
hat and black shoes. The face was one
of man who had lived a dissipated
life. 1t seems probable that he had
attended meeting of the Salvation
Army and was led to end his life by
feelings Of remorse.
HEARD SINGING.
At about 1 o'clock William Masters,
a night Waterman at Downey's coal
yard, heard some one coming UP the
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks singing
mournful song. The air continued
until the man was apparently under the
bridge. There it ceased, but after a
few minutes commenced again in a
weaker voice, until it finally died in a
sob.
Masters forgot all about the Incl
dent until about six hours later, when
Henry Williams, who was coming to
relieve his watch. rushed into the Of
flee and said that man had hung
himself from the bridge. They called
Policeman Schaefer, Of the Twenty
first police station, and together they
went to cut down the body.
They had hardly reached it before
Masters noticed the scrap Of the song
in the dead mans hand, and to his hor-
TOR recognized the words as those
which he had heard early in the morn
ing.
GRUESOAIE DEED.
The man had tightly twisted sever
al pieces of twine together and, stand
ing on an old basket. had looped one
end around his neck and tied the other
to the lowest part of the arch of the
bridge. Then he had kicked the bas-
ket away and, with the Irvine cutting
into his neck. had hung until death
came.
After the body had been viewed by
the Coroner's deputy it was taken to
the Morgue. There is but little hope of
Identification.

epitome Of the products of the United
States, of the highest grade and quality
which American genius, skill and expert
ence can produce.
Every line of American manufactured
products which is, or might be- export
ed. from locomotives and the heaviest ma
chtnery to the smallest novelties will be
exhibited at the exposition. There will also
be department of foreign manufactured
goods, consisting of collections of samples
made in the commercial countries OF Eu-
rope and successfully sold in all foreign
markets
President Mckinley will be present at the
formal opening of the exposition, Mr. Dem
