Soup MaiRre.

The expression "soup maigre" means soup with meat stock, the basis being milk, or, better still, cream and butter, and this basis being built upon by vege. tables or fish. These "soups without stock" are the favorite Lenten soups, and they are also used in the summer, because they are not heating to the blood, like the soups made with heavy beef or mutton stock, and which for that very reason are needful in the win ter, and yet are very nourishing. These soups are easily made, some of them very quickly, and are what I have heard housekeepers call emergency soups'- that is soups that can be made in from ten minutes to half an hour if one has eudden company arrive and needs some
 thing to piece out the family dinner. Soups maigre are made savory by tLs judicious addition of seasonings.; If any of you were to ask me what consider. ed the secret of good cooking, should say, Seasoning first, seasoning last and seasoning all the time.

HE HOUSEHOLD.
Knowledge of Housekeeping Desirable. A Simply Made Bench-Soup
 Maigre.

There is often considerable discussion as to whether knowledge of domestic science, or, in plain language, house keeping, is desirable for all women Most people, of course, say that every woman should know how to cook, etc., but there arc others who bring up tho well known story of the two girls. The one devoted herself to domestic affairs, only to marry a rich man and pass the rest of her life exempt from domestic duties, while her sister, whose whole attention had been given to a higher education, married poor man and gave herself up to the cares of her house and family. There is the general argument, in answer to that that the educated girl had we'll stored mind to draw upon while she was unable to pursue her studies and the domestic girl was given an opportunity to broaden her views. But word from woman who knows is worth dozen general argu- ments.
 One of these is the wife of scientific man and is herself pursuing a line oi scientific study and making original in- vestigations in addition to the aid she gives her husband in his line of work. Of necessity she has not much time tG devote to household duties, but for this very reason she continuously feels the need of special education in domestic science, which she did not receive.
 "I would give great deal. she says. if had been educated to be a thorough housekeeper. Of course keep house. keep my house looking well, and see that good table is set, but do not do it easily. l am never absolutely sure what is the right thing to do every time. If only had that absolute knowl- edge of housekeeping which would en- able me to say, This must be done 8. this time and in this way without hest tation, I should be infinitely better off, and my house, if not better, would be as well kept and with but little effort on my part.

A Friendly Ceremony In Old Cuba

The Century prints an article on "Life and Society In Old Cuba, ' being extracts from the journal of Jonathan s. Jenkins, an American painter of miniatures, written in 1859. Mir. Jen- kins says:
 When an acquaintance visits pri- vate residence cigars are handed round on a silver salver. If the visitor be an intimate friend, one of the young girls of the family, called donzalia, lights a cigar, and giving it few draws to get it well lighted gracefully presents it to him. If the guitar is brought in, as usually occurs (for there is one in ev- cry house), and the visitor plays, his cigar is kept lighted by the donzalia, and at each pause in the music she po- litely hands it to the guest. This may occur several times ill an evening, and this friendly ceremony is pleasant enough when the cigar comes from the pouting lips of rich Spanish beauty just ripening into womanhnod.

called Ice Trust is not corporation In
which the mayor Of New York should
have stock. But no proof has been Of
fercd of any wilful violation OF law on the
part Of the mayor such as would justify
the drastic measure OF removing him
from office. The power of removal from
office Of elective officers should be treated
much as we treat the power Of impeach-
ment. 1t is an extraordinary and not an
ordinary remedy.
THE normal remedy for bad govern
ment must be an appeal to the people and
only in wholly exceptional cases is it de-
sirable to substitute for this appeal to
the people, an appeal to the power of
removal or the power of impeachment
The case is therefore dismissed"
In giving out his decision the Governor
said:

not directly involved in this decision. !
wish 10 point out that the existing law OF
the State, even provided that under 1t the
attorney generals action against the ice
corporation should be successful, is not
adequate In my last annual message to
the Legislature, l recommended the adop-
tion of a system which would secure rea-
sonable publicity of such facts concern
ing corporations as the public has a right
to know, and reasonable restriction of
their powers. Events have shown es-
pecally in view of what has occurred in
connection with the ice trust that stron-
ger action than what ] recommended
should be taken. Not only should such
provisions concerning corporations DIS
above mentioned be enacted into law, but
there should be lodged somewhere the
power to ascrbe the conditions under
which foreign and domestic corporations
can do business in this State, and to de-
privc them of their charters if they at
any time violate these conditions.

Mr. Hull today. "The army now in the

who do not care to re-enlist. The trans
ports which 30 out for them should depart
laden with the troops who are to replace
them, else the ships will make one voyage
empty"
Mr.. Hull was in conference today with
the President aud with officials of the
War Department upon the character OF
legislation desired by the Administration.
He said the President will communicate
to Congress very fully his recommendation
about the army, and he did not assume TO
speak the Presidents mind in advance.
lie thought, however, that the Admin
istration would not be content With any
makcshllt legislation, no proposition 10

ldcnt wanted authority to raise Il regular
army sufficient for the needs Of the coun-
try, 100000 If necessary, the number to
be reduced when there was no longer need
for them.
Mr.. Hull said the Taft Commission had
reported that 5000 Filipinos could be en-
listed Immediately in the army for tho
Philippines, and that they would make
good soldiers under American officers.
There was no fear OF a repetition of Great
Britain's experience with the Sepoys, for
The Filipnos said Mr. Hull, have no
national feeling like the natives of India.
Moreover added Mr.. HUI, the experiment
OF cnlisting native troops had proven sue
ccssful and there are no more loyal or
efficient soldiers than the natives enlisted
in the British army in India.
