A significant sign of the part Japan
hopes to play In the future in China is
that the Japanese government has def
initely offered to establish military
academy at Picking + educate Chinese
under japanese officers. 1t is believed
China is favorably disposed toward
this proposition.
A new currency has been introduced
into Austria Hungary. The Austrian
form has disappeared and with it also
the kreuzer. of which there were 100
in form. The new unit is called the
krone Crown, and it equals half a
form. One crown contains 100 heller,
and the latter therefore equals half a
kreuzer.

Correct Way to Make Pea SOUP.

Soup made from split peas is nourish-
ing, digestible and, ii properly made,
also so appetizing in appearance that
it will tempt the daintiest. The secret
of its proper cooking is the binding of
the particles together in one smooth
whole. Strange to say, this is so little
known that. instead Of this good soup
proving a family faYorite, it is often
scarcely tolerated. If the reader will
follow the rule given below carefully,
perfect results are assured:
Pick over a cupful of dried split peas
and soak overnight in three pints of
cold water sOftened with a pinch of
bicarbonate of soda. In the morning
strain, cover with the same amount of
softened water as before and simmer
until the peas are dissolved AS the
water boils away add enough to keep
the amount to three pints and occa-
siOnally scrape the sides of the. sauce
pan and stir the whole with wooden
spoon. When done strain through
soup sieve, put ON the fire again and
when boiling stir it into a saucepan in
which tablespoonful of sifted flour
has been cooked, with a little butter
brought to the boiling point. This may
be returned to the soup kettle, and
when all has come to the boil and been
well stirred hot milk, cream or water
may be added. to make it Just the
thickness liked, and whether a thick
PURGE or cream soup the butter and
-four will hold the particles together,
and the desired smoothness will be
there. A teaspoonful of sugar is gen
orally deemed an improvement, but
must be measured scantily, as there
must be no suspicion of its presence.
Salt and white pepper to taste. If the
butter is sailed, that must be allowed
for.
Those who associate this soup with
the flavor of ham or pork will scarcely
recognize it when the true flavor of
the peas is allowed TO remain; also
there will not be the least greasiness.
