Soup.

In advice about sOupmaking you will
frequently be reminded that the scum
which rises to the surface when pre-
pairing the stock should be removed.
There is no reason in thus removing
what is in reality meat juice cOagulat-
ed by the heat. If you allow it to re-
main until the boiling point is reached,
it will disappear in the stock and in
crease it's value. When preparing
chicken stock, put the fowl, disjOintcd,
in cold water sufficient to cover it and
let it slowly heat to boiling point. Re
serve the breast. however and when
the water is boiling place it on the top
of the other pieces. where it will steam
without being under water. Cover the
kettle closely and let it simmer for al
least four hours. The breast will ther
be in a good condition to use in salads
or in any dish requiring chicken meat
while the stock is ready for use.

In the main Corsica, where it has no
French officials to leaven its politics, is
still Corsican rather than French, and
in the mountains the old spirit of indie
pendence is far from dead. For these
and other obvious reasons France is
bound to keep active garrisons in the
island, though she would do better by
much with the more acceptable chains
Of a maternal administration. More
railways, drained marshes, increased
education and a daily steamboat serv'
ice would bind the island to the CONT
nent in self interest and gratitude. AS
it is it is scarcely too much to say thai
Corsica is only kept from open revolt
by the element of prosperity brought

Religious Mendicants In Russin.

There are two types of tramps in
Russia. and they may be classified as
the authorized and the Unauthorized,
says a foreign correspondent. The first
are the so called religious mendicants,
who are protected by the church and
tolerated by the police; the second are
the common vababOnds. Their nation
al name among themselves is Gori-
Ouns-mourners or victims of grief. If
you ask them why they do not work
and the great majority are perfectly
able to do sO-they reply in the forlorn-
est voice mortal ever heard. Master,
am a GoriOun, a victim of SORROW
They seem to have accepted the philos
ophy that certain number of human
beings are foreordained to life of mis-
cry and sadness, and they pose as mem
bers of this class.

well and disappear forever from his
sight. Now or never he must make his
proposal. Let Guy think Of it what he
might. In two bounds he was by her
side. She coolly demanded:
what, you are not out of breath?'
Whether he was or not had little to
do with the matter. He murmured
through his mustache in a voice which
slightly trembled

'Let us have a gallop. Seriousness

Never had she looked so beautiful;
never was Guy farther from the gen

They were now going along a well
kept avenue. The chestnut of the little
baroness neighed. She touched him
lightly with her whip-a f1ash-the gen

A sudden turn in the avenue brought
him in front of large square, and he
was just in time to see a glimpse of a
riding habit disappearing through a
door,
Furious, he knocked as if to break

A WHITETHORN WOOD.

Oh, King Arthur's court went a-dancing to the
Maying,
Meath the springs new sky mid the springs
blossoms straying;
Light laughs laughed they, and sweet words they
were saying
In a whitethorn wood in the Maytime!
Sir Launcelot and the queen from the Maytime
strayed apart;
In his eyes was dark Loves passion in her breast
was dark Loves smart
Sir Launcelot and the queen they were clasped
heart to heart
In a whitethorn wood in the Maytime!
Oh, Loves pain wakes with the wakening of tine

And it crowns lass queen, though she ne er be

Best stay at home and spin, for, oh, Loves
perilous thing

THREE MONTHS TEDDY.

1t is pitiable what fools many Amer
leans are. Teddy Roosevelt is stirring
some of them with his war record. As
a matter of fact Teddy was only in
the army three months and then
only engaged in one little skirmlsh and
some people accuse him of wanting to
quit that one. The whole Spanish war
did not last ninety days and there were
not as many men killed and wound
ed in the entire war on our side as the
Yankees lost at Piedmont in this coun
ty, a battle which is scarcely mention
ed In the list of battles of our civil

HOW BANKS MAKE MONEY.

To show something of the manner in
which an ordinary national bank
makes money and drains community
we will give the following statement
of the First National Bank of Chicago,
the bank of which Mr.. Lyman J. Gage
was president when he was made Sec
rotary of the U. S. Treasury. This is
an average bank. The bank was form
ed 1882, it's stock was sold at 800 per
share. Now it is worth $3.50 per share.
1t declares per cent. quarterly or II
per cent. a year. In addition to this
it pays large salaries, including $25, 600
to it's president, and lays aside So per
cent, on undivided profits. Most
banks show their loans and discounts
to be three times as great as their de-
posts, so that they receive interest on
two-thirds more money than they
have, that is bank on wind to two
thirds of their capital. This they call
"credit. - The national banks are now
also allowed to borrow money from
the government without interest and
lend that to the people at high rates.
If a bank borrows it must do like other
borrowers, put up collateral. The bank
takes to the Treasury bonds drawing
them four per cent interest, and the
government issues to them money to
the full amount of their bonds. Nobody
else can do this. The bank then lends
this money three times over, and
draws 81 600 in interest besides. These
banks are known as the money trust
and will soon swamp all other trusts
and the people besides.
When bank comes under the head
or class of pet bank" it has Other
advantages. The Treasurer of the
United States designates it as a depOs
itory, then he lets it have government
money to any amount he sees fit. II
is stated he gives one bank in New
York forty millions. If this bank
should take that money and buy gov
eminent 8 per cent bonds with it, il
need do no banking at all. Three Pc
cent on forty millions is one million
1.-TWO hundred thousand dollars, which
is made without any effort, and the
bank having bonds is always ready t.
settle With the government, but in ad
dition he deDOsits with that hank hal
million of taxes collected daily, thi
is all any one institution should want
Mr.. Gage gets nothing for this unles
il be an occasional box of cigars.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
diti0n of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in

imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will lie destroyed for

by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
