very funny" said Flatbush man the

family named Feitenour, and the other
night while my family was busy read
ing in the library we heard racket
on the back porch. My son went out
to investigate. and on his return my
wife, always inquisitive. asked what
had caused the noise.

About Soup.

Soup should not contain fatty mat
ter, But should contain all other meat
properties. 1t takes longer to make
soup II one sets the stock aside to cool
before using the liquid. 1t is best to
take muslin cloth, wiring 1t out of
ice water and run the liquid through
it. The fatty substance will cling to
the cloth. If meaty particles boil
through the soup, 1t clouds it. This
is merely the boiled blood, and should
be skinned of as soon as it rises to
the top. Should it get into the liquid.
break an egg into the soup, stir it
around and when t0boils it will come
to the top. bringing all substance with
1t. 1t quickly clears muddy looking
soup.
