Three NOurishing SOups.

Sago Soup.-Make two quarts of clear
pale soup, favoring it delicately with vege-
tables the day before it is required. Heat
it, color it a clear red with carmine, and
when it reaches boiling point stir in two
tablespoonfuls of sago. Stir the soup gen.
tly for ten minutes after adding the sago;
then pour in wineglassful Of sherry and
let it simmer for eight minutes.
French Puree.-Place bones and scraps
of meat in a pan, cover it with two quarts
of thin stock from boiled meat and simmer
all slowly for three hours, skimming till
clear. Then add half q pint Of stale bread
crumbs, a good head of celery cut small
an onion and bay leaf Simmer for half
an hour and remove the bay leaf; then
press all through a fine sieve. Heat the
soup again and season palatably with pep
per and salt. Stir in teacupful of cream
or half pint of hot milk. Do not let the
soup boil, but serve it very hot with dice
of fried bread.
Cream Soup-This is one of the best white
soups and is very easily made. Set one
pint Of milk to boil with the same quantity
of water and add salt to taste. Directly
the milk and water reach boiling point
throw In an onion and two ounces of maca-
ronf broken into short lengths. Simmer
gently for an hour and then add half an
ounce of breadcrumbs and cook all slowly
Tor quarter of an hour longer. Pass all

a trawl aboard the fish commissions ship
Albatross in $500 feet Of water, off south
ern Chile.
1t was Of grayish color and had the soft
ness Of flesh characteristic of all deep-sea
fishes. There being no receptacle available
for preserving such a large specimen in
alcohol, 1t was placed in cask and salted.
Later the cask and specimen were acciden-
tally thrown overheard as rubbish Mr..
Townsend was the naturalist aboard the AL
batross at the time, and, happily, he OBJ
tained photograph of the valued creature
before it was so unceremoniously returned
to it's watery habitat. He and DR.. Gill have
made their measurements from this pho
tograph, the scale being obtained from
other known objects pictured.
No fish have ever been found below 1900
feet. At this depth-over three miles and
a half-the pressure of the water is enor-
nous. Fishes brought up from such depth
and released from this pressure have ex
ploded upon reaching the surface.

Ballast In Business.

Many good qualities go to the insuring OF
a genuine success-a strong, hopeful heart,
industry, patience, perseverance, a large
ness of aim and view, tenacity of purpose,
power to control the tongue. swift preci-
sion OF mental sight, clear view into the
future. reticence concerning plans, the
submission of the body to the will and, as
a prime factor, that peculiar virtue which.
Tor want of specific name, may be called
ballast" Ballast is really many virtues
IN nice proportion. 1t is to know ourselves,
our position and the power we possess for
any task to be done. It is the making for
a desired point with the steadiness of a
locomotive and as directly as the crow
nies II we accuse a person of wanting
ballast we think of him blown about by
every wind of circumstances and of waver-
ing among a variety Of ends. This is the
great commercial sin. No one In the busi-
ness world is held more cheaply than the
man without ballast. He is like a ship
leaving port with colors flying and not a
pound Of ballast in her hold.

Large FamfIies.

From the London Chronicle.
Few father have such large families as
the applicant for relief to the Birkenhead
Guardians, who stated that he was seventy
years of age, was the father of twenty-one
children, the oldest of whom was fifty and
the youngest an infant. The man has mar
ried twice, hence the case is not as remark
able an instance of a large family as those
given by Thoresby in his 2. History of
Leeds" He cites the case of DR.. Hudson,
chancellor Of York, whose wife died in her
thirty-ninth year, having given birth to
twenty-four children. Another long family
was that Of Joseph Cooper, belonging to the
same town, whose wife bore twenty-six
children, but the most remarkable was that
OF William Greenhill, of fAbbots-Langley, in
Hertfordshire, who had no less than thirty
nine children by one wife. France has need
of such. n -

To Tell the Age of Eggs.

From the Baekerund Konditor-Zeitung
The following method of determining
the age of eggs is practiced in the markets
of Paris: About six ounces of common
cooking salt Is put into large glass,
which is then filled with water When the
salt Is in solution an egg is dropped into
the glass. If the egg is only one day old
1t sinks Immediately to the bottom; if any
older, 1t does not reach the bottom of the
glass. If three days old, it sinks only lust
below the surface. From five DAYS upward
1t floats; the older it is the more it pro-
trudes out of the water"

this can be gauged by arrests But, as far
as arrests show, there is here in New York
more inclination to drunkenness in cold
weather than in hot, on clear, dry days
than those which are cloudy and wet and
on days when winds are high than when
the air is still. Strong winds, ii is said,
are among the saloonkeeper's best friends.
In conditions Of calm, the debauches, as
indicated by arrests, were % per cent below
the average of three years; in winds OF
hurricane velocity, so per cent above High
humidities, as general rule seem to In
crease the consumption of high balls prob
ably because dampness makes winter days

The Saving Habit.
From the Mexican Herald.

A great lesson which the people of Mexico
need to learn is thrift. A really large sum
of money is spent here annually in ways
that add nothing to the general effective
capital of the Mexican nation. In the
United States the people of moderate
means and the wage earners have more
than 81, 900 900 900 in the savings banks, not
to speak of the huge sum saved up in the
form of life insurance payments, which
some day will come back to them In endow-
ments or in settlements made with their
heirs

More than, once they have proven Victors. and never during the past thirty years have they acknowledged the rule of Great Britain or of the khedive of Egypt. The Mullah may be mad. but there seems to be considerable method in his madness.
 Lieut.. Col. Eric J. Eagles swayne was placed in command of the British oper- ations against Sheik Abdullah when the present trouble came to a head about month ago He is thoroughly experienced in the irregular fighting he is called upon to lead. He gained a pretty thorough knowledge of Somaliland hunting big game It is d country full of wide ele- vat .d plains, over which roam great herds of wild beasts, who prey upon one an- other and are in turn hunted by the na- lives Just who the natives are Is un- certain. They themselves claim to be descendants of noble Arabs driven away from the neighborhood of Mecca by the invasion of Mahommed. They have no written history, but every child is taught his family genealogy and most of them can recite it for from twenty-two to twenty-four generations back, which would bring them back about to the days of Mohammed. Prior to that there is no evidence of their having inhabited the land, though there is plenty of evidence of it's having been the scene of an ear Her and highly organized civilization. Probably the Somalis are of Arabic orig In. Certainly they are not of the negroid type of the native African race.
 Lieutenant Colonel Swayne modestly asked for 5000 men. The home govern nent decided that in that case he prob- Ibly needed about 5000. He trained na- live levies who, England comfortably lold itself could fight in these regions snder conditions that would kin other troops" And so Colonel Swayne was Ixpected to make bricks without straw. win battles without men. The native Ieyies had not the training and steadi- ness of John Bulls regular troops and thev gave way before the ardor of the Mulah's attack. The British arms had met disaster and Colonel Swayne was invalided home ito act as adviser to the Foreign Office" And General Manning was sent out to command force of 5000 British troops and subdue the rebellion The rebellion, 1t is assumed, will not be subdued until Britain is given as a peace

powrE,s WONDERFUL CURE.
Showing What Faith Is Plsesd in the
 Alleged Prophet.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 The Rev. John Alexander Dowle IS Scotchman who was once an innerant Methodist preacher in Australia. Flhoihs life in Australia barren and hard' ne came to America, where conditions Tor nm were no better until he wandered into Chicago and bethought him of faith cures In this he was immediately successful for 1t is one of the inscrutable dispen- sations of Providence that there shall De a liberal per centage of people In every community who are never happy uhth they have acquired an incurable disease in order that they may be healed mirac- ulously by faith or Christian Science or something of the sort. The story IS al- ways the same. It Is familiar to every one. Well. know myself ot case There was Bill ButtinSky, over Tn the next county. He had a daughter who had both legs, her head and ay couple of arms cut off by a moving machine. He took her to the very best doctors in the United States and Europe, sir, and they couldn't do nothin for her; gave her up; said shed die some day. Finally Blll ne heard of Professor Whats His Name and took his daughter to him. She had to be carried on a stretcher: but she had hardly got into the professors office be- fore she jumped off the stretcher, hred her crutches through the window, danced a Highland fling. walked home. mixed messsof biscuit with her own hands and ct 'em an she's been as well as you are, sir. ever sence. Now KNOW that to be a fact
 Dowie never charged anything for "cures." He was too shrewd for that But he took care that the candidate f healing always acquired an intuition tha a generous voluntary contribution wou
 not be refused. Receipts were so hb eral that soon the new healer was able to hire a cheap hall on the South Side of Chicago. where he began to preach religion of his own. At first 1t was not so very different from Methodism. But one day he chanced in the course of his address to denounce the doctors, his rivals in the healing business. It made hit. Dowie had discovered his forte. He would denounce things. He included the drug gists in his anathemas. then the Roman Catholics and the Masons. The more things he found to deaounce the wide grew his popularity. His little hall waF soon too small to hold his audiences. TT commotion in the overflow on the side walk attracted the attention of a wan dering reporter. Next day one of the Chi cago dailies had a story about the new faith healer in which he was treated with unseemly and indecorous levity. The Rev. John Alexander Dowie was outraged and indignant. hsyOaa .exprssion to. md

Faddism and the "Three R's. "

Chicago CnrOnlcle.
 Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University. comes all the way to Chicago to tell the people that "the three R's by themselves are hardly worth having" that "as whole equipment they are totally inadequate in the fun damental education and development of the child;' that some of the 'fads,' as they are called, are funda- mental elements that get hold of the American boy or girl and bring them out"
 President Butler may tell us that "the best thinkers realize that the three R's must be pushed back and that the pre- cious time of our school children must be taken up with lot of fads and that teachers must be worn out cramming their heads continually with new fads to replace discarded ones. But more and more of us are becoming profoundly skeptical as to the thoughts of the best thinkers" and are venturing to think a few of our own thoughts.
 It is a common remark of Chicago bus mess men who have need of the services of young persons of both sexes in posi- tions requiring some parliamentary knowl- edge that those who come to them as the output of our public schools are sadly deficient.
 lHeSe dppHCdHtS uildDit tO WIllS lce- ters such as any respectable business concerns cares to send out. They cannot spell correctly. They cannot frame grammatical sentences. They do not know the meaning of words in common use. Their compositions teem with vul- gar solecisms. Their knowledge of arith- metic is very limited and their knowl- edge of geography is almost nil.
 Why? We inferior thinkers suspect 1t is because their precious school time and the thoughts of their teachers have been too much occupied with fads And we are not able to discover what the fads have given the boys and girls to compensate for the lack of the three R's and their old-time asNcates in the schools.
 The fact is we inferior thinkers are be- ginning to think that the professional educators. including the best thinkers" among them, are very great and very mischievous humbugs.
 We are beginning to think that the sooner we get back to the three R's and their kin and root out everything that interferes with gaining a fairly good knowledge of them the better will 1t be for pupils. teachers and all others con- cerned-except the inveterate faddists.
