Lobster Soup The foundation OF
nearly all japanese soups is the dry
bonito fish, known az katsuobushi,
which is hung in the air and exposed
until every particle Of moisture has
evaporatec and it becomes almost as
hard as stone. 1t is considered ex-
trcmely nutritious and is sold in sticks
by dealers in japanese SUP. plies. To
make the stock Onc-half pound OF the
katsuobushi is scrapeS very fine with
a sharp knife or chisel, and added to
two quarts OF water, "fter which it is
boiled slowly for an hour. when 1t is
seasoned with salt. pepper and soy and
| strained.
The lobster is killet, by cutting the
joints where the tail and body come
together when the meat removed
from the shell and made into little
balls. To do this, wash it fine and
press through a sieve 70 one lObste:

Plain Boiled Rice-Every rice eating
community has its own methods of
boiling rice. The Japanese wish the
rice thoroughly in several waters
then carefully drain. and to each cup
full allow one Of cold water. 1t is
then placed In saucepan. covered
tightly and set over n brisk fire To
boil quickly. This rapid boiling is
kept up until most Of the water is alb
sorbed, the cover being kept on and
the water allowed to run over the
sides. after which the saucepan is
moved to the back Of the stove and
the rice allowed to cook slowly until
perfectly dry. During the entire pro-
cess the rice must be neither stirred,
shaken nor tossed, but allowed to
cook undisturbed, SO that each grain
will be perfect.

MOUSE SINGS LIKE A BIRD.

Rarely Accomplished Rodent Is No"
Prisoner in Yorkshire, England.
Singing mice are rare, but a CORE
spondent writes from Yorkshire ask
ing whether we can give him any in,
formation about q specimen he cap
tured.
He adds: ut has been warbling just
like a canary for the last month in our
workshop, and although have it in a
cage it still continues to sing"
That mice do occasionally sing is
undeniable. Some observers say that
their song" is softer, sweeter and
more delicate than that Of the canary.
which one can believe quite easily.
Others go so far as 70 compare 1t to
that of a warbler or even a piping
bullfinch. But the question as to why
they lift up their voices in this tune
full manner still remains to be an
swered.
Three explanations have been sug
sested:
First, that all mice are potential
vocalists and can learn to sing, by
imitation, from singing birds.
Second, that many mice possess al
exceptional talent for mimicry, to.
gether with a keen sense Of the luGi-
crOus.
Third. that some mice are subject
10 bronchitis and that the so-called
song" is only the wheeling Of rodents
which suffer from the distressing com,
plant.
A certain amount Of color IS given
to the last theory by the fact that
mouse which was caught by the
neck in a wire trap not sufficiently
strong to kill it sang while its
throat was under compression. but
never again during its subsequent life
as a captive.-I-ondon Mail.

The Democratic generalities Of |
Judge Parker's speech" Gays the Chic |
go Public, strongly pro-Bryan are all
lat could be desired. So, also, is
luch which he says when he partic-
larizes. Altogether the speech fair
encourages the hope that in his
,tter Of acceptance, wherein he prom
;es to consider the platform more
linutely, Judge Parker may justify
1e confidence Of those who vouch for
is fundamental Democracy" Park
RS speech of acceptance was dissa-
ointing only those who, because OF
is bold attitude on the financial ques-
on, expected something more unusual
nd extraordinary. These will be dis
leased, also, with his letter of &C.
eptance. Parker is above all things
onsertative, careful almost to a
ault, reserved as probobly no other
residential candidate has ever been,
nd least of all likely to make prom
ses concerning his ability to fulfill,
5hich, which he has any doubt what
yer. He recognizes, also, the Dem
cratic party's imperfections, and his
incerity forbids his indulgence in the
ulsome praise or the extolling of viz
ues which have no existance. In
lin we find another who would rather
De right than be president. He is him
self so honest that he does not know
how unpopular right is among many
Of those who will decide whether or
not he shall spend the next four years
at the national capitol.

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending June 20, 1904.
Des MOines, Iowa.
The average temperature of the past
week was slightly below normal, but
the weather conditions were favorable
for field work and general improve
ment Of all crops. The six working
days of the week were mostly fair dry
and warm, and the scattered showers
on the Is and l9 were timely and bene-
fetal to all growing crops. In por-
tiOns of the central and north central
districts there was considerable excess
on rainfall on the 10Th, but generally
the amount has been below normal.
All reports show excellent progress
in cultivation of the corn crop, and
the fields are now we'll cleaned, the
plants have healthy color, and the
stand is nearly up to the average OF
former years. The larger part of the
crop has been cultivated twice, and a
portion is receiving its third blowing.
Though late and somewhat below nor
NAL height, the general condition OF
the crop is promising.
Early seeded oats and barley are
heading. The meadows show a vari-
able stand and condition, and the hay
crop will be lighter than in the last
two seasons, but the quality IS likely
to be better. The potato crop has
made fine progress and promises a
heavy yield. All crops are doing
notably well.
