ous old English ,hotel, who had cur-
ried mutton and Scotch broth on
his menu at the Same time, gave the
fo•I1,owing reeipe for the latter :
'Toke the liquor any mutton has
been -boiled in and remove the fat
when cold. IVah a cup of pearl
barley and .3)1.013 1313 on to boil. When
done add to the liquor; also a tur-
nip, carrot, onion, •and a little cet-
ery. Boil until the vegetables are
tender and serve.' This was thin
with only a few kernels of barley
to he seen. Grated raw eatrot on
the tap made it good looking and
improved the flavior.
- A single pound of `Mutton should-
er, the fat ,and skin removed before
it is cooked in two quarts of water,
will flavor a barley liquid sufficient-
ly for a delica•te loop, but, three
pounds are ,generally used for this
amount The meat, if first fried a
little in 'hot fat, and the vegetables
the same, may 'be taken out of the
broth and -served as curried mut-
ton by smelting a gravy and flavor-
ing it, with curry. 'Leftover barley
porridge can always be used to
thicken a mutton broth, but if bar-
ley is added and cooked in it ono
large tablespoon with the other in-
gredients 'will make it thick enough.
DANIEL TIC; GENIC:BIM.
A Business Man Says His Word Is
Better Than Ills Bond.
Daniel Guggenheim, the head
Of the great Ametican exploration
and development orgainizati,on,
whose operations stretch from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from Alas-
ka. to, Chili, arid into the heart of
the African Congo, is a man with
11 kin•rlly, =fie and a gentle manner
who deals, with millions •as most men
Nen-hire •with dollara. The story of
-the Guggenheim family has been
toldelsewhere, and it reads like one
of the fancieseaf the Arabian Nights.
Daniel Guggenheim, for all his
kindly, humao demeanor, for all his
courtesy and gentleness, is a strong
man. Much of his power lies in his
Vivid /Magi/MUDD and in his broad
sympathy for humanity. He is the
type that will lead aneo, but never
drive thein. There ia no trouble
with labor in anY,Guggen•heim pro-
perty in aoy portion *13 13136 land.
Daeiel Guggenheim says:
' "The business ethics are .those of
She community in which the busimess
exists," he attys. "The stream rises
no higher than its source -unless, a
foroe4:1 higher. American business
is far better 'than it WAS a few rears
ago, and yet there IS mom for yeast
improvement. It is not now on -the
plane where individual greed is the
some actuating foctor." .

The Statesman, of Calcutta, In-

graph:
"at ,appeaTs that quite a new
spirit has arisen a,mong the girl-
hood of the Bengali race. Bengal
has of late witnessed with astonish-
ment akin to a feeling of reverence
and admiration 11 number of eases
of self -immolation of tender Bengali
girls,"
"What this Hindu writer thus com-
placently el•escribes is in reality a
curious epidemic of auicide. It be-
gan some weeks ago with the self-
destruction of a girl named &mho.
Iota, whose father Waai bout to
mortgage his property in order to
pay the purchase price of a hus-
band for her.
• The 'sum now demanded by the
frithees of eligable boys in Bengal is
ruinously high, The price of a Itay-
oath who has graduated may go up
to 100000 rupees (83,000); 3,000 ru-
pees is a quite usual demand, and
oven 43, matriculate can. -command
500 rapees. The enhancement of
rates, is due to the law of supply
and demand. Girls must onclinarily
be anarried before •pubert,y, while
the increasing requirements of edu-
cation have lett to the postpone-
ment ofathe marrine of boys. There
is time a diminishing supply of hus-
bands, whereas tha demend is un-
changed.
The suicide of Snehitlata., w,ho
poured keroseno oil over her cloth-
ing and set herself on fire, provok-
ed an outburat of admiration among
martiage reformera and the fathers
of marriageable girls. The natural
result is that other young girls have
followed the example of Snehalata,
while' it is coaniramo talk among
school girls that when, the time

satrifice themselve5 in the 'same
way.
