It will be understood that the foundation of each of these soup recipes is a quart can of the best soup of which you have any know- ledge. These vary in excellence. Chicken Soup.â€"This makes a deli- cious bisque, when a. cupful of cold veal or. a can .of chicken, chopped, is stirred in, with a half cupiul of dry, seasoned crumbs. A finer soup can be based upon chicken broth by makâ€" ing egg balls, such as are described in the next recipe, and putting them into the boiling broth. Have ready a cupful of scalding milk, stir in a ; tablespoonful of butter rolled in one of flour, cook one minute, and pour, a littld at a time, upon two beaten eggs. Turn into the tureen and add the soup and balls. Mock Turtle Soupâ€"Add four hard- boiled eggs cut into eighths, a glas of claret, the juice of half a lemon. or a lemon peeled, then sliced thin ful of boiling water and such addi- tional salt and pepper as your taste adju'dges to be needful. If you care of the eggs, pound the yolks into a paste, work in melted butter, a salt, your hands, _mak_e the paste into small balls and drop into the ’boiling soup. Simmer three minuâ€" tes after they go in. ' Piquante Tomato Soup.â€"-The base of this is mulligatawny soup. Drain a cupful of juice from a can of to- matoes,_ strain through cheesecloth, put over the fire and boil fast 'ten minutes. Skim, add a tablespoonful of butter rolled in browned flour, and when the soup has boiled stir this into it. After this drop in a hardâ€"boiled egg or egg balls and sliced lemon. Consomme Bisque.â€"Iâ€"Ieat the con- somme to boiling, mince a can of boned chicken very fine, add a small cupful of breadcrumbs, season with aprika and salt, a little onion fuice and finely minced parsley. Stir to a boil before adding half a cup- ful of cream heated (with a pinch of soda) and a big spoonful of butter rolled in flour. Boil one minute and serve. An egg well beaten, stirred in at the last, is an improvement. For Useful Consomme.â€"-â€"Consomme, unless unusually strong and savory, is a poor-thing when served alone. It the base of several different soups, such as tomato, julâ€" rice broth, tapibca, sage, barley, potato, “turnip, etc., each“ of which will repay you for the addi- tional trouble it costs you. Pea Puree.â€"Canned peas should al- ways be drained and left to lie in for half an hour before they are cooked. This takes away the smoky flavor which people are apt to consider inâ€" separable from American peas. These, by the way, are as good for soup as the French, which are double price. your vegetable press, then proceed as : with the corn puree. Canned Corn Pureeâ€"Chop the corn ’ very 'fine, add a scant quart of boilâ€" a teaspoonful of Stew steadily and onion. in g water minced for Food is not all that thin people need. Maybe} they’re sick. You can’t make them eat bybringing, them food. But Scott’s Emulsion can make them cat. That Emul- sion gives a man appetite and feeds him both.

We’ll curl you a. little to try if you like. SCOTT& BOWN E, Toronto, Ont. the Put 'the drained peas through threeâ€"quarters of an hour after it reaches the boil. Rub through a. col- ander into a saucepan, add salt, pepper, three tablespoonfuls of biutter rolled in as much flour and a table- spoonful of chopped parsley. Heat in another vessel a pint of milk, and when the corn mixture has simmered] five minutes longer, turn first one,_ then the other, into the tureen; stir well and serve. This soup is especâ€" ially nice if veal or chicken stock be substituted for boiling water. Creamed Tomato Soupâ€"Put a cup- ful of (aired) tomatoes into a sauce- pan with half a small onion chopped fine and cook half an hour after the boil begins. Strain and rub through a colander and return to the fire. Season with pepper, salt and a tea- spoonful 0f white sugar. Stir in by degrees two tablespoonfuls of but- ter, cut up and rubbed into two tablespoonfuls of flour. Have ready in another saucepan a pint of boiling milk, in which has been disâ€" solved a bit of soda not larger than a pea. Let the soup simmer for three minutes after butter and flour go in, stirring well and often; pour into a tureen, add the boiling milk, mix well and send to table. If milk and tomatoes are boiled together, they will form a curdled compound in spite of the. soda. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. over fruit It does no Never sprinkle salt stains on table linen. good and is mussy, The stains may be removed by pouring hot water through them before the linen goes into the soap suds. If the diningâ€"room table has been used for pingâ€"pong to the detriment of the table, it may be improved by repeated polishing with soft cloths and linseed oil. No prepared polish is equal to this simple one. Bureau drawers that are new and consequently stiff to draw out, may be made to run smoothly by rub- bing the edges with soap. If the wood is green when they are made, they may have to be planed down, but ordinarily the former treatment will make them all right. When paper cannot be retained on a. wall by reason of dampness, make a coating of the following ingred~ ients: 'A quarter of a pound of shel- lac, and a quart of naphtha. Brush the wall thoroughly with the mix- ture, and allow it to dry perfectly, and you will find this process will render the wall impervious to mois- ture and the paper in no danger of being loosened. Bamboo furniture, as well as wilâ€" low and rattan, should be cleaned by scrubbing with salt and water. Use a small brush for the purpose. If the hands are well powdered with talcum before putting on ki'd gloves in summer, there will be little danger of the gloves being ruined by perspiration. Choice figs are sold in little round baskets of coiled straw, the cotton cover being stitched on.‘ The figs are worth-buying, and the‘ basket is worth saving; 'Lineduwith silk and with a loose silk bag attached, they make work or embroidery baskets quite out of the common. Coffee extract, for use in cake, jel- lies, etc., is made as follows: Beat one egg in one cup of cold water. Add one cup of ground coffee and mix well. Put into four cups of boiling water, boil five minutes and let drip through a jelly bag. A pudding, whether steamed in a mould or boiled in a bag, must not cease boiling, not even for a min- ute, or it will certainly be sticky. Keep the water boiling and if more is needed as it boils away, see that what is used to replenish it is boil- ing. A correspondent says that white furs can be beautifully cleaned by carefully rubbing dry plaster of paris into the fur with the hands until every part has been cleaned. Shake the fur until all the plasterâ€"â€" which is ground line like flourâ€"is shaken out. Wipe over the fur with a clean white dry cloth and it will look like new. Corn meal heated in the oven is satisfactorily used for the same purpose. It is said a loaf of wedding cake was once kept six years without any appreciable diminution of its flavor. It was packed in a tin rbox 'with an inch of granulated sugar all around it. The box was then wrapped in strong paper and kept in the attic. A use for the tops oil old golf stockings is to cut them over into roomy mittens, which are very conâ€" venient to slip on when making fires, cleaning walks, etc. CARE OF PALMS . Palms, says a writer, are a pretty house plant, but it. is not every one who can grow them successfully. The palm likes a moderately rich soil, and he mixes bone meal with garden loam as a fertilizer. He recommends placing a brick, or something of the kind, in the jardiniere for the pot to stand on. Sunshine is not necessary to the welfare of the palm, but morning sunshine will not harm it in the least. When the surface of the soil is dry give water, enough to thoroughly saturate all the soil in the pot; then wait until it looks dry again, before giving more. Palms should be showered at least once a week. It is a good plan to take them into the bathroom, lay them on their side, and spray» them so thoroughoughly that every porâ€" tion is wahed as if they were expos- ed to a summer shower. This keeps the dust from accumulating on them. to close the pores of the leaves, thus} interfering with tlicir'breathing asi well as making them unsightly. It "- ' " "* “od spider down. This. ' Williams" little insect" is that little that it hardly seems possible that he could do much harm, but he is more des- tructive than all other insects com- bined. He delights in the hot, dry atmosphere which characterizes the modern livingroom. Moisture he does not like, hence the value of the showerâ€"bath in waging warfare against him. Always keep water evaporating in the room. Use the hand-atomizer on your plants daily. Depend entirely upon moisture in fighting this pest. Tobacco teas and insecticides of all kinds are useless only in so far as they impart the moisture, which is more satisfactory if obtained from clear water. If it is not convenient to shower your plants, dip them in tubs of water. .. I + _ LA GRIPPE’S RAVAGES. _.__â€" The Victims Left Weak, Nerveless and a. Prey to Deadly Diseases. La groppe, or influenza, which sweeps over Canada every winter, is probably the most treacherous disâ€" ease known to medical science. The attack may last only a few days, but the deadly poison in the blood re- mains. You are left with hardly strength enough to walk. Your lungs, your chest, your heart and nerves are permanently weakened, and you fall a victim to deadly pneumonia, bronchitis, consumption, rheumatism, or racking kidney trou- bles. Dr.‘ Williams' Pink Pills never fail to cure the disastrous after efâ€" fects of la grippe because they purify the blood and sweep away its pois- 0nous germs. Every dose makes new, warm, rich blood which brings health and healing to every part of the body. This is proved in the case of MiSS Dorsina Langlois, of St. Jer- ome, Que., who says: “‘I had a severe attack of la grippe, the after effects of which left me racked with pains in every part of my body. My ap- Detiike completely failed me; I had severe headaches, was subject to colds with the least exposure, and grew so weak that I was unable to work at my trade as dressmaker. I tried several medicines without the slightest success until a. drug clerk advised me to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I acted upon his excel- lent advice and the pills rapidly and completely cured me. My strength returned, the headaches and cough disappeared, and I am again enjoy- ing my oldâ€"time health. I am satâ€" isfied that if sufferers from la grippe will use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills they will speedily recover from those after effects which makes the lives of so many people a burden." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure all the common ailments due to weak and watery blood, such as anaemia, headaches, sideaches, indigestion, neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica,.ner- , vousness, ‘ general weakness and. the special ailments that. growing girls and women do not like to talk about even to their. doctors. But [only the genuine pills can do this, and you should see that the'. full name “Dr. 'l’ink Pills for‘Pa'le Peoâ€" ple," is printed on the wrapper around each box. If you cannot get the genuine pills from your druggists send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont., and they will be mailed 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50. .__+_.__.__ ROYAL TRADESIVDEN. Sovereigns Display Ability in Handling Private Fortunes. The decision of the emperor of Ger- many that his three younger sons shall undergo a thorough course of commercial training, so that they may be better fitted to cope with the stress of industrial competition, recalls instances of other living monarchs who not only govern the destinies of their kingdoms but are captains of industries as well. It would go hard with the india rubber trade of the world if King Leopold of Belgium refused to sup ply any more rubber. since he has practically a monopoly of this im- portant commercial product. Rub- ber cultivation constitutes the staple industry of his colossal private es- tate in the Congo. He has sunk hun- dreds of ihousands of pounds in this enterprise, with the result that now he governs the world’s supply, and is not only the king of the Belgians, but the “india rubber 'king" as well. BUILDER AND BREWER. When King Oscar of Sweden came to the throne he boasted no private fortune, for his predecessor had willâ€" ed his money to another ~member of the family. Yet to-day King Oscar is one of the world’s wealthiest mon- archs. And it has all been made out of real estate. I-ie has made it a practice. to purchase the dingy, out of the way slums of the capital city at a nominal price. The decrepit houses have then been swept away and in their places have risen pala- tial business dwellings and residences and open spaces, which then realized vast sums. Stockholm owes no small part of its magnificence and beauty to the enterprise and build- ing speculations of its king. The sovereign is also deeply interested in the brewery trade of the country, his greatest enterprise in this direcâ€" tion being” the St. Eric brewery, with which he is intimately connect- ed. Hotel development is another branch of his commercial interests, as the Grand hotel at Stockholm adequately testifies. The royal family of Bavaria are probably the most renowned brewers in the world. Every visitor to Mum ich knows the dingy, ancient tavern . Why are. some Ceylon Tea is not only a stimulating beverage but highly nourishing to those of weak digestion. Sold only in sealed lead packets. By all grocers. Given the gold medal and highest award at St. Louis. The beer was first brewed at the royal palace in September, 1589, from a. recipe given to the reigning king by the fumous brewer Degenâ€" berg. This recipe is a most jealousâ€" ly 'guarded secret, and the famous beer is made in precisely the same way and at the same place toâ€"day as three centuries ago. TWO ARE SPECULATORS. The king of Denmark and Prince George of Greece are both fortunate speculators, and have participatedl through their agents in many largel financial operations. The most not- able speculation was that of 1876â€" 1877. The southern ports of Russial in connection with the war with: Turkey, had been closed. The re- sult was that the supply of grain 'rom southern Russia was cut off. The king of Denmark carried out a huge deal in American grain, forced a corner, and'netted several thou- sand pounds. Francis Joseph of Austria is not only an emperor but 'a keen business man as well. As a member of the royal family he has innumerable privileges, one of which is immunity from jurisdiction. 'As this, however, would give him an undue advantageé over the commercial layman, he‘ transacts his business under a pseuâ€" donym. ' This action once led to a curious result. The emperor had established. a large brandy distillery, and in due? course applied for his license. Hisi royal identity was known, and the; application was refused, as he had failed to comply with the law's reâ€", quirements by applying in his own; name. The emperor appealed againsti this decision, at the same time ex~; plaining that he could not fulfill the? strict letter of the law, as he was ai member of the reigning family, and,1 as such, had no family name.' His; explanation was allowed, and the, emperor has one of the largest and; most successful brandy distilleries in; Austria. ____.__.§.....____.. “BALLE‘D” PARTRIDGES. Peculiar Misfortune to the Young ‘Birds in England. ' In certain districts where the soil_ is exactly right (or rather exactly: wrong)_ the partridges so carefully; preserved in England are likely to; be attacked by a peculiar misfortune: known as “balling.” The word; means simply that a partridge hat-l chcd out on a clay soil in wet weaâ€"j: ther may find mud adhering to its: feel; as it struggles along after the; mother bird. ' This is a' small beginning; but the; chances are that the earth accumu-z lates. Sometimes, indeed, the soil' attached to the foot of a little par-, tridge will increase from a merei speck to a Weight of several ounces; A writer in Badminton says that the“ heaviest ball he ever knew weighed: four ounces, and the bird which car-i ried it was only half its proper size,‘ although the rest of the 'covey were? full grown. The little creature could, only move along in a kind of flyingg scramble, dragging the ball on theg ground. I The clay was baked as hard as a. brick, so that it was no easy matter to remove it. Finally it was soak-I ed off, and then, it became apparent Ease, | We mob, how that the bird, without its accustom- ed ballast, did not know how ’to. ' fly. With every effort it tumbled head over heels, and learned the natural mode only after long trying. The fate of a “balled” partridge which is not rescued by some kindly hand is a cruel one. Day by day the burden grows heavier, and the more the chick scrambles after its comâ€" panions the larger its burden be- comes. Finally, it is no longer pos- sible to move at all, and then the thing can but give up and die. Naturalists say that this balling of birds is one of nature’s provisions for scattering seeds. It is easy ,to demonstrate this, and the “answer lcomes true." One experimenter scat- tered the earth from a three ounce ball over the top of a pan of ordin- ary dirt, which had been baked to destroy the seeds in it. Ten plants sprang up in duetime, and devel- oped into seven varieties. . â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"-â€"â€"+â€"â€"-â€"- DRUGGING CHILDREN. The mother who gives her little one “soothing” stuff when it cries surely does not realize that she is 7 simply drugging it into temporary. insensibility with a poisonous opiâ€" ate. But that is just what she is doing. All the so-called “sooth- ing” medicines contain poisonous opiates; they are all‘harmfulâ€"some of them dangerous, and should never be given to children. Baby’s 'OWn Tablets are sold under a positive guarantee that they contain no opi~ ate or harmful drug. The Tablets speedily cure all stomach troubles, constipation, diarrhoea, and simple fevers; they break up colds,- prevent. croup, case the pain of teething, and give healthy, natural sleep.

Bier eyes were Wil‘d';_ her hair was in disorder; her face was flushed; her hands were clenclhe'd; she was a. deeply injured and desperate wo- man. “()ih, cruel one," she cried, in anâ€" guished tones, “I have borne with you too long; you have injured, you have tortured me, and yet I could not bear to give you up. Wiien first your case a'nld polish attracted me; when you became my owu, how my friends envied me. But your understanding is too snrall for my large soul; you are opposed to my a/hvanci'nig myself; you have rui-nâ€" ed my standing in society. If we had never met I might have walked in peace. So, now, begone. We part for ever." There was a moment’s convulsive breathing, a gritting of teeth, and a sharp sigih. It was all over. By a supreme effort she had pulled off her new shoe.
