Ono of llio flrwt thiiiffa nn English housfkot.iHr will notice on coining to this country is tho absence of soup from tho lahloa of nn ordinary Anioricnn ftnnily. " Why," sniil a cnrcful English houspwifo to mo the other tiny, " I n(!tutilly found in one honso where I wns visiting thnt they did not own n soup lndlo, n tureen or soup plates, yet they were well off nnd hnvesuch things ns n silver griddle enko dish nnd fitter-dinner coffee cups. If they would ent more good whole some soup nnd fewer griddle enkes, I fancy they would ho healthier nnd perhnps n, bit better off." I am not sure but the English wo man's criticism was a just one. American housewives are apt to re gard soup as a luxury, putting out of sight that it. is one of the least expensive and most nourishing forms of food. And among farmers' families it is, I think, especially so. They do not realize that tho few bones left from n roust of meat or tho framework of n well-demolished chicken or turkey, or even a pound or two of bones purchased at the Imteher's cart, are the nucleus for a more wholesomo, cheaper and more palatable dish than nil the salt pork and dried beef that is consumed week in and week out. Ono thing that makes nn every day housewife shun soup-making is, 1 think, that she faneios it involves a deal of labor, which is a mistaken idea that has grown perhaps from I lie perusal of elaborately concocted cook hooks. A thorough knowledge of soups ought to bo possessed by evory capable housewife, whether lit r homo is in the city or country, i'ho first thing is to extract nil the goodness nnd nourishing qualities from tho moat, and having soasoned tint extract properly, to serve it in its liquid form. This is what is called stock, and once made it will serve as a basis for half a dozen dif ferent sorts of soups. For instance, if you add to it bits of macaroni that have been boiled in Milted water, then cut short, you hnve macaroni soup ; if you add carrot, turnip nnd other vegetables, you have a good Julien soup ; a cupful of barley gives you barley soup, or if you want a good consomme, nimply clear the stock nnd serve it plain. Do not buy a good bit oi meat that is suita ble for roasting or stewing to mnke soup of ; chooso tho coarser, heavier parts with a good deal of lwne in them. The way to get nil the strength from tho meat is to put it, after cutting it in small piece nnd cracking tho bones, into a kettlo,aud covering with cold wator.let it stand a little while on the back of the stovo, then bring it forward where it will heat Blowly. For a good stock you will want tho following ingredients : Two pounds of the hind shin of beef, 2 quarts of suit water, 0 wholo cloves, 6 pepper corns, 1 bunch of sweet horhs, 1 blade of mace, 2 teaspoon fuls of salt, 1 small onion, half a carrot, half a turnip, and a sprig of parsley. Let this simmer for B or 6 hours nnd when thoroughly cooked strain it through a fine strainer into which you have laid a bit of strainer cloth. Then set the stock aside to cool. When you wish to use it take off the hard cake of fut that has formed on top and you w ill find un derneath a rich, thick jelly, which is the basis of any soup you chooso to make. THE riiOPEli WAY TO FRY FOOD. MAKY B. KEECH. Have a wiro frying basket that will fit nicely in a flat-bottomed iron kettlo. Fill the kettle three-fourths full of lurd and set ou back of the stove so that it may become gradu ally heated. If you must set the kettle directly over the coals so it will heat quickly, watch it closely or it may boil over nnd tuko fire. When tho fat smokes in tho center or if a piooo of bread dropped into it will instuntly bum, it is just the right temperature to sear the out side of tho food, thus preventing the grease from penetruting, and ren dering the food light and digestible. First, dip the frying basket in the hot fat, Ix'fore putting tho article to be fried into it. In frying chojra, doughnuts, potato chips and all food that requires long cooking, after a few minutes, draw the kettle buck on the stove, where it will not boil so rapidly. Doughnuts, croquettes, eto.. should not touch each other. The fut should be kept smoking hot, and enough to completely cover the article cooked in it. Croquettes should be rolled in egg and fine bread or cracker crumbs. Loavii them in tho ifit, just long enough to ninko them a very pale brown. As they nre made of arti el on thnt have already been cooked, it is only neoesMry to heat them through nicely. The fat should bo clarided after each using. While it is hot, drop in a think slice of raw potato and leave until cooked If there are any sediments in tho bottom of the fut it should bo strained. When cold, sot away in the frying kettle.

"What is the first doty of a good traveler?" anked a yonng lady who wai about to start from New York on an ex tended European tour. "To look pleasant and never to grum ble, " was the answer of a veteran wan derer who bad crossed the ocean SO times and gone twice around the world. It was good prescription and will help to mnke a good traveler of any novice. The fatigue of the longest jour ney can be pntiently endured if one can only be amiable and avoid the weari ness that comes from fretting over what is unavoidable and worrying over trifles. An American girl not long ago spoil ed the pleasure of a party of tourists by complaining of everything ou sea and on land. The ship was a dreadful roller, the cabins were badly veutilatcd, the cooking was abominable, the service was shocking, the ofilcers were uncivil, and the passengers were disagreeable and Btupidl Nothing suited her, and she had not a good word for anybody. Every member of the party wnB indig nant over her want of amiability. "It makes rue almost seasick merely to look at borl" exolaimed one of the ladies. "Perhaps she will oheer up," was the charitable response, "when she reaches port." But she was as unbnppy on land as she had been at sea. She was angry with the oustoms ofilcers and told them that they bad mauled and ruined ber best gown. She found fault with the lovely rural soenery between Southamp ton and London. She pronounoed Eng lish cooking to be utterly vile. She in veighed bitterly against the weather and the climate. She was not interested in cathedrals, castles, palaces, pictures, colleges, ruins or country roads. She was bored by everything she saw. One night she reoeived a round robin signed by every othor member of the party, expressing regret that she was not enjoying her journey and offering their sympathies in her vexations and discomforts. It was a bold stroke on the part of her friends, who wore worn out by ber tiresome peevishness. Fortunate ly it was not unsuoconsful. Not another word of complaint was heard from her during the remainder of the tour. A pleasant, cheerful face and man ner that express kindliness and good will make the best passport which a traveler can carry into a foreign coun try. They insure civility and courtesy from . officials, fellow travelers and strangers and are an unfailing resource whenever there ia any misadventure. Youth' Companion. Two Killed at a Orada Cro.ilnr.

John Carroll, bishop of Maryland, officiating. The allianoe was not reoognized by Na poleon Bonaparte, and Jerome, yielding to his solicitations and demands, aban doned his American wife, who Indignant ly rejected Napoleon's offer of a large pen sion "provided she does not take the name of my family. " Her son, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, was born In the suburbs of London, where she had been forced to take refuge by the relentless persecution of her brother-in-law. The events that followed are historic the refusal of the pope to dissolve the marriage, the deeree of the oounoil of state of France, under Napo leon's dictation, declaring it null, Jer ome's creation by Napoleon as king of Westphalia and his subsequent marriage to a princess of Wurttemherg. The name "Jerome, " which Mine. Patterson Bona parte conferred upon her only son, has been Landed down In the family ever since, be ing borne now by a brother of the bride, a boy yet In his teens.

One Tlew of the Shorthand of Bisters snd Chronology. Heraldry can make the world a glori fied world. It is a quarry where every ono may how and a sea where every one may dip his oar, and if heraldry be came again a fine art sho oonld be onoe more tho brido of history, while art with ber tumult of enthusiasm alone oan deck her fittingly. Without art heraldry is an uncouth and dead thing; with art sho liveth for every one and is truly a soionoo. Heraldry creates intelligent curiosity and stimulates historio imagination. Sho awakens Interest in generations gone by and should bo taught, says Mr. Buskin, to tho young men and maidens of tho street and lane, for heraldry helps to decipher the forgotten hand writing on the wall and the glorious record of our ancestors' doings and strivings and progress and upward climbing in the long crusade against tyranny and slavery and ignoranoe and intolerance. That heraldry is the shorthand of his tory and chronology seems to be now allowed, and heraldry, in a sense, should be the application of the fine arts of sculpture and painting to family history. It is the silent language whioh Christendom adopted and developed at the time of tho orusades. In silence and in hopo she spake, through the eyes, to the heart of Christendom, of the noble deeds of her children, and she is alto gether indispensable if tho horaldrio al lusions in Dauto, Chancer, Spenser, Shakespeare,' Soott, etc, are not to be entirely lost. Heraldry bns received the sanction of centuries, and a herald of the true strain is neither finicking, frotfnl nor faulty, but full of goodly joy and at times even of pious mirth. And if some peep and mutter nt abuses, forgetting that the abuse of anything is no argument against its proper use, others gee and learn that heraldry has educational value, ia to many a race a wayside sao rament and blazes broad its potent in fluencenamely, that nothing must be done to tarnish the family escutcheon. In England also, in the absence of hereditary rank, ooat armor is the only distinctive mark of birth and high blood for the untitled nobility. Nine teenth Century. The New Woolens. The winter's woolens are handsome and varied. Iridescent effects, rich heather mixtures and bouole effects are numerous, having, for example, a medi um or durk woolen ground variegated by contrasting threads of silk, or the foundation is a blue or deep red, for in stance, with a very shaggy raised de Sign of glossy black wool on the sur face. These materials will be much worn, with the small addition, per haps, of a corded silk vest to match ths silk intermixture or else the back ground. Very little decoration is needed for these showy textiles. Mot Kmbsrraseed. "Is it trne that Pidger ia financially embarrassed?" "He is awfully in debt, but it doesn't eem to mbvaxrass him any.
