GONE SANORI SOUPS

A poor cook is usually prodigal in
the use of onions. Especially in flaw
oring soups. the pungent fragrance Of
an onion covers a multitude of sins
lhe soup may bear a French title,
but it is after all found to be nothing
more than stock favored with onions.
Outside Of France the making of
soups is nj yet understood. BY the
French a. is made from the bones and
trimmings" which we toe often
throw away.
From a good sized roast there is
frequently sufficient mea. and bones
left over to make not only soup, but
an excellent luncheon or breakfast
dish.
An important item in the making
is the kettle. if it is not washed in
hot water and rubbed dry the soup
viii have a 'musty" odor, and taste
disagreeably, if the inside of the
kettle becomes discolored it will
affect its navors.
When taken from the fire the con-
tents should be poured off while hot
into china or earthenware crock
and allowed to stand over night, so
that all the grease which by that
time has formed a solid cake ON the
top may be skinned Off
Old-fashioned housekeepers used
this for frying or for making SOUP,
the latter economy has become obso-
lete.

Lean juicy meat is the best, fat

The meat should never be put on at

DO WE GET SLEEP WRONG.
Present Method of Seeking Repose
Adversely Criticised


According to w. II. Somerall a re-
spected and eloquent high light of the
| theosophists, the present methods of
| seeking sweet repose, as practiced in
| fankeedom, are all wrong, says the
Boston Journal. Going to Sleep" says
ne, is in NOSE cases a crude and al
most brutal affair, ana yet it might
be raised to the dignity of fine art.
Everything done that we can thing or,
nothing now offering much interest.
we hurl ourselves into the bed and let
go. Between the voluntary letting-goes
and enforced assumptions lies a third
OF life-which third is to most of us
spiritually valueless."
We are not prepared at this mo-
ment to contradict Mr. Somersall, for
to tell the unvafnisLed truth we 10
not know how we go to sleep. We
simply find, upon being aroused by
the heavy boots of the gentleman
above our head, that time has passed
that it is light and that presumably
we have been asleep. Whether this
going to sleep was brutal affair or
not, accompanied by sounds that sug-
gest the porcine animal, we are in
blisful ignorance. So, We presume. are
most of our brethren. Why not let it
go at that?
But theosoply, we find upon further
! examination, has a remedy for this
commonplace and almost vulgar meth
cd of wooing old Morpheus. We are
told that the mind should, the last
thing, be emptied prepared raised,
cleared, spiritualized> by a final medi-
tation, a nnal strain of aspiration,
kept w for some few minutes. The
dust of the day should be swept away
memory stilled Thus prepared, it will
stay nearly dreamless, sleep be-
comes long meditation, and in the
morning when the soul returns it can
at the transit into reincarnation in
press Sdddenly upon the awakening
mlnd some of its indication"
That's it. That's what we have all
long waited Tor the ideation of the
morning. For the most part, it has
previously been mere returning to
the consciousness that one must re-
cover energy enough to emerge from
under the clothes only to go through
the old weary routine of soap and
water, and tooth powder. If there Is
any joy that theosophy can give to
take the place of coming back to The
usual grind. then we all hail and
let us have the cure at once. Tho
trouble with most of us, we fear, in
following Mr.. Somerall's method
would be the final strain of aspira-
ton" before going to sleep generally
becomes tho old wrestling with the
problem of how to capture a few
more of the mighty dollars on the day
that Is to come. If theosophy can
eradicate from our beings gross and
sordid thoughts of this sort, 1t will
really do service to mankind

GEN. GRANT.

In 1864, at City Point, Va, while

STARTING The GRADUATE.

New Bedford evening Standard
We read that it is lamentable" that
the first year in the life of many a
high school graduate is marked by an
inability to secure anything better in
the way of job than that of floor
walker in a department store, followed
by the pathetic inquiry, Whose fault
is it?" Wen, it is nobody's fault, and
we doubt it it is a fault at all. What
in the world is expected of a high
school graduates f~st year? That
he shoull be bank president? That
he should manage cotton mill? That
ne should be a judge of the supreme
court? II strikes us that If a young
man eighteen years old, a graduate Of
a high school or that, has sufficient in
telligence and tact to be really good
floor walker, he is starting out pretty
well There have been boys who have
come out at the top; but they never
wasted much time in mourning over
the lowlinessl of their beginnings. AS
a matter of fact, it is not the start
tnat is tire important thing. You can
get off the train anywhere in the
woods, but II you kee on you will
land in the METROPOLIS What is impor-
tant is the boy himself. and ii he has
good stuff in him, he will not mind it
much if he loes begin as a floor
walker.

Cleaning, Decorating and Repairing

1t hardens like papier mache, neatly
and permanently filing any cracks to
which it may be applied.
TO Clean Kitchen
Wall or ceilings papered with oil
cloth put on wash boiler of water
and close doors and windows, and
boil the water until the walls and
ceiling are wet with steam. Take d
long handled scrutbing brush or
broom, tie a soft rag and ipe your
walls. This will save lots of time and
trouble.
Keep Out Dust
Tack a piece of cheesecloth over
the screen in your pantry window
and see how much dust you can keep
out; wash the cloth when needed.
Kitchen Floors
If You wish to cover your floor with
linoleum and the boards are warped,
fill the uneven places with sand and
your linoleum will not become worn.
To Clean Mahogany
Simplest and best way is to take
warm water and soft cloth, dampen
the cloth well and rub ON white
soap. making a good lather; this rub
freely over the article to be cleaned
and at once wipe off and dry with
soft cloth. The result is superior to
that secured with any polish and is
more lasting. Same gives the best
and most lasting polish to patent
leather shoes.
To Remove Bruises
From furniture vet the bruised
spots with warm water, soak piece
of brown paper of several thicknesses
in warm water, and laying over the
place. Then spply warm fatiron
until moisture is gone Repeat the !
process - needfui, and the bruise win !
disappear.

CHAPTER xxx.

Nine days later Cyril and Norah
were walking along the parade at Tor
/ quay. 1t is summer and sunshine at
this Englinsh Naples when the rest of
/ England is covering before the win
/ try blast and these two young people
walked arm in arm under the bright
rays of King Sol. sauntering as slowly
as if the month were June instead of
November.
Nine days OF perfect happiness viii
work miracles, and in these nine days
Norah had lost all her pallor and was
as blooming bride as even the most
passionate of overs could desire. IN
deed it was not the Norah who
watched, pale and weary, beside the
sickbed Of her supposed father, not
the Norah flying from the Court and
crushed by the fear of Guilford Der.
ton, who walked with springy step and
erect head; but quite different No
rah, with the rose of health on her
cheeks, and the light of happiness in
her eyes as she leaned upon her hus-
bands arm.
Ard you don't ask me why l want
YOU to go back to the Court so sud
denl', dearest?' Cyril said
NO" she replied, turning her love
~ eyes upon him trustfully. "Why
should /? Didn't | promise to obey
and obedience means aslsing no ques-
tons If you don't wish to tell me
why we are going thIre tomorrow,
why-well, don't. am q'ite salts
fed"
Cyril-there happened % he no one
in sight at the moment bent down
he hadn't to bend very low-and kiss
ed the soft red lips
'Norah, l always suspected that l !
had married an angel now know it!
VIII it be painful TO you to go there,
dearest?"
Norah thought for a moment
Perhaps it won't be-" he said, !
guardedly. The new earl maxwell, !
may be friendly, and invite us nowt
and aga.n-especially as you have
surrendered all that money so read
lily"
Norah laughed gently.
q don't know that it would be wise
10 be too intimate with earls and
countesses, always excepting the
dear Ferndalesl Don't they say that
professional people should keep to
their own class? Perhaps if YOU
knew too many 'swells as Jack caEs
them. YOU would grow lazy and dis
contented You see how prudent I am
becoming and she laughed. Cyril"
Well"
When are we going to begin house
keeping dear?' she asked, nesting
closer 10 hirl, and looking up in his
face with a delicious gravity in her
ewes. Il cont tell you how anxious I

moisture in his joy-lit eyes, was pro

feet bit of elocution.
All through the meal Lord Ferndale
had kept watch and guard over his
tongue, and it was not until Cyril hal
glanced at his watch and said that the.
time was getting short that he said,
with a mlschieyous twinkle in his
eye:
Il suppose you won't take very
long holiday MIR Burne? You'll be
wanting to get back to work, eh?"
And Cyril had, with marked in
crease of color, murmured something
inaudible and hurried Norah out 81 the
room. She and Lazy Ferpdaie disap-
peared together for hal an hour, and
then they came down Norah attired in
travelling dress and a set of sables
which Lady Ferndale h i'd produce5 At
the last moment. Botr womez were
rather red about the eyes, and Moran
chung to her friend until the last mo-
ment, when Cyril. standing beside the
cab door, he'd lck's and Lord Fern
dale's hands, and whispered:
Remember. The Court, Thursday
week"
Then Norah tore herself away,
Cyril put her gently and tender,y into
the cab, and Jack and Lord Ferndale
having flung handful of rice over
their nice clothes, they drove OF
Norah leaning forward and waving
her hand until the cab turned tue
corner and carried them out of sight

smile and a sigh, There goes the pret-

Ferndale, with sob, and she ran in
and up to her own room that she
might enjoy the good cry she has
| fully deserved.
The two men went to the smoking
room, and mixed themselves a scds
and brandy, and talked over the
strange history of the young couple
which awaited one of them; but pres
emily Jack grew very silent 1nt
thoughtful. and Lord Ferndale, motto
ing it, said;
"A penny for your thoughts. Yves

RAILROAD TARIFFS.
Tt is Hard to Tell Txact Cost of Haul
inq Freiuht,

Tt is Hard to Tell Txact Cost of Haul
ing Freight.
So great is the element of joint cost
in transportation Inat to ascertain the
expense OF any specific act OF trans
port is an absolute impossibility says
railway Age. 1t is equally impossible
say what are the comparative costs
of hauling ton of coal and ton of
merchandise mile and to say what
are the comparative costs of hauling a
ton of pig iron one mile and hauling
it two miles. 1t is plain. nevertheless,
that under precisely similar condi-
lions it does cost although no
body can tell how much more-to haul
ton of any commodity two miles
than one mile.
With this one bald fact as the justi-
fication legislatures and commissions
in ali parts of the country are busily
engaged in endeavoring to reduce
rates to distance basis. The effects
this policy will produce, if carried, to
its logical conclusion, must be patent
to every far-seeing man. The more
closely rates tend to distance basis
the more difficult does it become for
commodities to move from the imme-
date regions where they are produce.
The comparative disregard by Ameri-
can railways of distance as a factor
in rate making has tended to open to
the producers OF every section the
markets Of the entire United States
and of the world and to enable con-
sumers to buy whatever commodities
can be produced to the best advant-
age.
Distance tariffs will tend to compel
each community to produce all it
and consume al it produces,
and to destroy that division Of labor
on a grand scale which has contriDd-
ted more to promote the industrial
progress and prosperity of the United
States than all other causes.

THE M. f. CHURCH
 IS REGISTERING
GLOBE TO BUILD A s25,OO0 PLACE OF WoRSHIP-OTHER EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TERRITORY.

With Methodist churches springing up in towns where they were not pre- viOusly known, and new churches being built to supplant old ones which have outlived their period of usefulness, the Bethodist church is making itself a potent factor in almost all the towns of the territory, according to Rev. s. J. Rogers, the travelling representative of Arizona missions for that denomina- tion.
 A new church and parsonage have recently been built at Flagstaff, the church costing in the neighborhood of Sl5,000, to take the place of the old church, which waA. aold for $6,000. An. other has been built in Don Luis, a suburb of Bisbee, and third has been constructed in South Bisbee.
 The work of the Arizona mission is not, however, confined entirely to this territory, as one wonld suppose. A sub stantial church has been built at Chiy- atera, about twelve miles from Cam anea and at the upper end of the Can anea valley.
 Plans have been made for a $25, ,000 church to be built at Globe on the site now occupied by the present Methodist church.
