these cases w ill aggregate from

American Cook Wastes Liquid? From '
Which French Cook Would Make
Appetizing Meal.
"Only water," soya the American
and Kngllsh cook, pouring off the
liquid from n ; . i . nnd eaullllow-er
njid onions and potatoes, and thereby
sending down her kitchen sink that
of which a French woman would
make an appetising meal.
In French and Italian kitchens the
soup pot stands always on tho stove,
and Into It goes every bit ol water
from the following vegetables:
Onions, peies. boana, turnips, parsnips,
carrots, potatoes asparagus, artt
Chokes, cauliflower and cabbage. Tim
liquid from "greens," such as beet
tops, spinach, dandelion nnd kale can?
not be used for soup, but tho water
from spinach Is excellent as a sauce
tor iish, it slightly thickened and
flavored with butter.
Tho soup pot. receiving all this con?
tribution of savory liquid, does not
need the great quantities of meat that
make It 10 expensive an Item In
A merle.in and BngtUb economies.
Tho bone from u porterhouse or sir?
loin steal,, well cracked, is sufficient,
or, from 11 leg of lamb that lias been
cooked rare, or from any roasted or
broiled meat.
Kmlless variations can bo made on
this foundation of a bone nnd water.
A cupful ot dried Lima beans and
half a head of cabbage, chopped, to?
gether with a bit from the dinner of
the ilny bet?re, like string beans or
eanote, wilt give a very good Milan
ose soup, of which Italians are hii
fond, a tonspoouful ot Kxtrnct ot
lleef diluted With a quart of the es
senco of tho pol w ill produce One con
nomine. In August; when peas are
getting too old and coarse to be eat?
en as a vegetable, strain a quart of
theni into tho pot, niter cooking theni
thoroughly, add the water in which
they win- boiled, thicken very Blight
ly. nud you will have a puree 01 peas
that cannot be Improved upon.
CleSi vegetable Bbiip can be pro?
duced by putting n cup ol finely chop?
ped parsley, onion and celery lino
the pot and simmering hair an hour.
"Croutons," little cubes of toasted
bread, should he dropped lu ut the
last moment. Itlch vegetable soup is
made by adding' to the pot two or.
three fresh tomatoes, several onions.,
a bunch of carrots, two potatoes
diced and a few stalks ot celery. Any
Vegetables let! from a dinner shduM
he esa Into little bits and dropped
Into tho soup pot.
Haw string in- ms. chopped and
cooked an hour in the pot, and a
handful of water cress, added half an
hour beforo serving, makes an mi
usual soup, which Is typically French.
TO KEEP PARLOR RUG FLAT

An Ingenious somebody has thought
of a way to keep the parlor rug from

curling meanly nt Its edge so that you
?tumble over It mid break your eye
glasses against tho door Jamb. Tho

than n cleverly contrived snap-button

than the tiny affair which tailors uso

?and lliero you Bro H Is the work of
only n moment to unfasten the snap
catch nnd loosen the rug for u shaking
