How 10 Make Good Soup.

How to Make Good Soup.
In making soups Of all kinds. the
slow, even prolonged slmmering, not
boiling, must be observed, as all essen
tial to the good result. 1t is because
our cooks and housewives can not, or.
rather, will not, understand this rule.
that the soup of the average American
household as mere pretender TO the
name. 1t is not enough, as certain
blunderers seem to fancy, to keep the
constituents of the broth hot for sew
eral hours; it must cook incessantly,
never stopping for a moments time.
Furthermore, all the water needed for
the soup should be put into 1t at the be-
ginning; serious loss of favor Is
r1sked il more water has to be added
during the process Of cooking.

Puerto Rico And Free
Trade.

The Merchants Association of
New York have sent out circular
to 10000 business firms throughout
the United States urging the i'm
mediate abolition Ofall customs ta-
riffs between the Urited States and
Puerto Rico. They simple reiterate
the recommendations of the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of War in
favor of absolute free trade with
that island.
1t appears that considerable op-
position to the free trade provisions
of the proposed legislation in behalf
of Puerto Rico, has developed in the
sugar, tobacco and fruit growing
districts of the u. S. and promises
to delay the passage of any bill fix
ing the political status of the Island
for some months. To far the most
strenuous protests again the adoption
of free trade between the U. S. and
this Island comes from the Connec-
ticut tobacco planters, the California
fruiterers and the sugar trust.
Apparently the opposition is To-
oking toward and rests its case upon
the dangers of establishing prece-
dent in Puerto Rico, fersing that a
similar coure may afterward be adop-
ted with respect to the Philippines
and possibly later in Cuba.

The President of the Sena-

In this bill the internal Re-

dered as Entry Sub Ports.

ScHR. MINNIE WRECKED.

Victoria, b. c., Aug. 9.-Mrs. Jacobs
of this city today received a brief note,
placed on board the United States
transport Egbert on its way from Cape
Nome to Seattle, stating that the seal
ing schooner Minnie, of which her
husband, Captain Victor Jacobs, is
owner and master, had been wrecked
In Behring Sea. and that all hands had
been picked up by the schooner Walter
l. Rich.
No particulars are given, not even
the location of the wreck, but 1t is pre-
sumed that the Minnie, like the rest
of the fleet which have since called at
Unalaska, had sailed into a severe
storm late in July. The schooner was
insured for $4,000 and the equipment
for like sum, but this will hardly
cover the loss.
The members Of the crew will join
other vessels of the fleet. The Minnie
was one of the schooners seized by tie
United States revenue cutter in Bell
ring sea in 1889.
