Spinach Soup.

Ingredients: One quart Of milk, pep
per and salt to taste, two tablespoon
fuls of flour, enough onion juice or eX-
tract to flavor and spinach.
Rub the spinach through n sieve,
and use only the parts that pass
through. Scald the milk in double
boiler, mix the -four with little
milk and stir it with the heated milk.
Add the seasoning. stirring the milk
constantly, and add enough spinach
to make the soup the thickness liked
Some people use double the quantity Of
spinach named in the above recipe for
one quart of milk. This soup belongs
to the cream class, and when carefully
made has delicate flavor. If dou-
bic boiler is not used for the milk, care
must be taken that 1t does not burn.

If we NAV debate the latter point with

If we may debate the latter point with
so high an authority as Professor Heimkirk
we should call attention to the (new) prepar-
alton called CAlcura Solvent, discovered by
DR.. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kings
ton, n. Y, as IN undoubtrd success. While
its fame may not have reached Berlin it
is widely known in the United States, and
scores remarkable victories over cases of
acute and chronic rheumatism, stone in the
bladder and kidneys, torpidity and enlarge
ment of the liver, the various forms of con-
stipation and dyspepsia and all affections
due TO cell-wastes retained in ths circulation.
TO say that DR.. Kcnnety's discovery called
Ly him MY Nen Medicine"D is specific
for the diseases which principally atflict civ
ilized man may be more than the facts yet
warrant, but that it thus far transcends
other remedies III the number and signal
brilliancy of its results is to say only what
the evidence proves. And it is simple jus
tice to add that DR.. Kennedy worked as
hard and as long to unearth the constituents
which compose his great medicine for the
people as the specialists have who labored
to capture the bacilli of germ" diseases.

The Enduring Mysteries Of the Skies.
Though 300 years have elapsed since
the death of Tycho Brahe, and the sci
entiflc world has oniy recently joined
in celebrating Worthily his immortal
memory, it appears that We are in
many lines almost as far from the Ill
innate goal as when he began the
great work of exploring the skies be-
for the days of Kepler, when all Eu
rope was slumbering in intellectual
darkness. The science of the stars,
indeed has been refined and perfected
in all iirections; but with the bounds
of darkness pushed back step by step,
the goal is not, and never will be, in
sight An infnity of objects and
causes and an endless variety of phe
nomena are yet to be explored, and
the work of the mind is rather pro-
cess of development to the perfect
understanding of the universe than
the solution of simple mathematical
oblem.--Atlantic Monthly
