HOW TO MAKE SOUP
STIMULATING DISH SHOULD PRE-
CEDE ALL DINNERS.
reshest Meat Should Be Used and
With a Reasonable Amount Of
Care the Result viii Be
Satisfying.

Soup Is the prelude of the dinner.
It is light, healthy, stimulating food
that gently prepares the diner for
heavier food to come.
The earliest mention Of soup that
occurs to me is the dish of pottage
for which Esau sold his birthright.
There can be little doubt that Re-
becca was a fine cook, for we know
how she made the tempting dish for
which he gave his inheritance. Ten
der pieces of fresh-killed kid were
seethed in milk and seasoned with
herbs and thickened with meal. This
makes a most excellent stew that even
these enlightened days have not i'm
proved upon.
Indeed. there are but two kinds OF
soup, thick and thin, or If it please
you better, fat and lean. The thick,
fat soups comprise bisques, cream
soups, purees and mixed soups The
thin soups, or soup maigres," as the
French designate them, are consomme
or bouillon and clarified broths.
When making soup use the freshest
meat obtainable. Split the bones
and cut the meat In small pieces. Put
to cook in cold, sailed water. This
permits the albumen to dissolve be-
fore the water commences to boil.
This albumen and gelatin rises to the
top of the soup kettle, but should not
be skinned off, as much of 1t will be
assimilated in the process of cooking
and 1t contains the richest juices OF
the meat. After the contents OF the
soup kettle have commenced boiling
briskly, season and add the vegetables
and herbs. Keep it boiling slowly and
continuously. Thirty minutes to each
pound Of meat is the usual time al
lowed. but longer cooking is some
times necessary Bisques are the
richest and most satisfying Of all
soups. They originated in 100 and
1850, and these ancient ones differed
greatly from the modern style, which
is only a vegetable soup enriched with
, cream and well thickened. The origi-
nal bisques we'll deserve to be resur
rected.-Henrietta D. Grauel.

Never attempt to polish a kitchen
range until all the grease and dirt
has been removed from it, Dip rag
In some SCOT and with this remove all
grease stains. Take off varnish marks
with tissue paper. moistened with
vinegar. When the ironwork of the
stove is discolored through the heat
1t should be well rubbed with a soapy
flannel and then thickly coated with
black lead To obtain an absolutely
black surface mix little ammonia
with the black lead.
The life of old linoleum may be
heightened somewhat by giving it
coat of varnish When dried the var
nished surface is easily kept clean

While Eugene Field was work on the
Denver Republican, he was an earnest
and ardent patron of Bob Stockton s
bar, Immediately across the street from
the Republican Office. He ran a bar
bill of $50 in one month. The propri-
etor dunned him for it frequently, but
never cut off his credit, for the patron
age of "Gene' was worth more to him
than the $50. AT last, despairing of
ever getting his money, and thinking
to make strong hit with Gene he
made out a receipted bill and calling
Field aside, presented it to him.
Then he waited. But Field merely
stood in an expectant attitude, holding
the bill.
"Well why don't you say some
thing2' Stockton demanded, at last.
"Well, Bob,'' rejoined Field, "what
does the house usually do when a man
pay his bill?"
