A Few Palatable Soup*. Materials for plain soups are not expensive, and until one has fully mastered the art of making these* do not attempt those made from more expensive ma-
terials.
Nothing will so refresh a ponton as a dish of good, hot, nutritious soup or enable one to resist the cold more effectually. In winter the heavier soups are more satisfying and may be served twice a day when lunch is the noon meal. Soups that are served for lunch may be richer and more elaborate than those placed on the dinner menu, for obvious reasons. The chowders are rich purees and cream of
ta between Germany and Vene- | fish soups are especially suitable for cold
weather lunches. These soups are cheaper than meats and much better adapled to a meal of this kind, particularly for the children and the aged members of the
family.
Black Bean Soup.
This soup la often served as mock turtle soup. Wash one pint of black beans; put them into a large bowl that will hold enough water to cover them when they are well swollen. Let them soak over night; in the morning put them into a soup kettle; add five quarts of water (cold), half a pound of salt pork cut Into small pieces, and quarter of a pound of lean, fresh beef, whole. Cover the kettle and place over a moderate fire and cook slowly throughout. Grate three mediumsized onions, a small turnip and a carrot; add to the soup. Half an hour before it is ready to serve add salt, pepper and enough ground cloves to give a distinct flavor. Btrain through a colander, add a gill of sherry or port wine. Shred the piece of beef fine, slice two hard-boiled eggs and put Into a tureen, and when the soup Is very hot pour it over these. This soup should be given four hours’ slow
cobking.
Brown Turnip Soup.
Peel and cut Into dice a good-sized turnip and the same quantity of Spanish onion. Put these into a saucepan with a good sized piece of butter or vegetable oil and cook slowly for twenty minutes, browning them well without scorching or drying them. Then pour in a quart of broth made from bone and trimmings of meat, fresh or cooked; add two cloves, a piece of bay leaf, a small bunch of soup herbs tied In a piece of thin muslin. Cover closely and let simmer until the vegetables are quite soft. Remove the
herbs, bones, etc., and rub through
sieve or colander. Return to the soup kettle, season with salt and pepper; let it boil up; beat up an egg yolk with two tabiespoonfuls of milk or cream, put this into the soup tureen and pour the hot soup over it. Serve in the croutons. •
Tomato and Macaroni Soup.
Boll a cupful of macaroni broken Into bits in one quart of boiling, salted water, until tender; do not let it boil too rapidly, but cook about an hour. Then add half a pint of stewfed and strained tomatoes, well seasoned, and a cup of milk.
Let boil up and serve.
. Chicken and Sago Soup.
Cut up a good-sized fowl as for stewing; put in the soup kettle and cover with three quarts of water; add a small onion and sprig of parsley; cover the kettle and cook gently until the liquor is reduced one-half; then strain and leave the liquid uncovered until cold. Wash
Office again sol- quarter pound of pearl sago thoroughly, - - - cover with cold water, and soak half an
hour. Remove the fat from chicken liquor and return to the fire; add the sago and cook half an hour, stirring to prevent the sago from lumping or settling to the bottom of the kettle and burning. Scald one pint of milk and pour over the yolks of three or four eggs beaten very light. Mix well until like a smooth custard, thin turn into the soup, stirring ail the time. Season wltiw salt and pepper; let boll up and serve. This Is a delicious soup and nice for children and Invalids. It may be made with veal instead of chicken. The chicken meat may be used in many ways—in croquettes, salads,
mine# ragout, curried, deviled, etc.

There are at least three railways in Venezuela which have bee a constructed by British capital, and the English shareholders a-c watching with anxious interest for the sequel to the present disturbed state of the country. Information which is reaching London from tbo representatives ef the variou* companies is of a very scanty nature. So far aa it would seem the English property has hot been seised, but it is feared that immunity will not be long. In Venezuelan circles in London President Castro l» blamed for the present disorders. He Is accused of having sacrificed the peace and prosperity of his country to his own personal pride, and an improvement is not looked for until he has been deposed. • Most of the morning papers comment on the gravity of the dispute. They are generally agreed that Germany Is not , anxious to provoke complications and will be careful not to ruffle American susceptibilities. The Daily Chronicle says that the United State* has no interest in seeing its guaranty against foreign aggression turned into a cloak for bad faltn toward foreign powers. L AMBASSADOR WHITE’S DENIAL.

Castro’s Open Letter.
WASHINGTON, December Sl.r-Presi-| Went Castro, of Venezuela, has written an open letter, copies of which have been received by officials here, in which he defends the general policy he has pursued. An indirect allusion IS mad’ to the German affair in the President’s appeal for united support In defense of the fatherland. The letter was In response to an application, which was granted, for the release of wtveral Journalists Imprisoned at Caracas.' In the course of the letter
it Castro says: .,
is painful to observe that the rashness of some, the Impatient ambition of others, the mistaken criticism of the leading classes and the obstinacy of the revolutionary spirit, have sorely tried the virtues of my liberal policy. At a time when I have desired to see the country happy and its citizens enjoying every com.fort I have had the painful duty of adopting repressive measures contrary to my character, my education and all my sentiments. Our’prosperity has been withheld through errors and entanglements for which my government is not responsible, but which claim a prompt and quick solution. In carrying out this policy I should have the support of all the citizens of Venezuela, because therein rest* the sov-
ereignty of the fatherland.’’ Both After Warshlpe.

CHAPTER IX—(Continued.) A chill flashed down my spine. Most cautiously I arose and took the light. There appeared to be no bottom to the
pit.
“Gee whizz!” T muttered. “Gee wizz!” said Fatty, with remark-
able distinctness.
I looked at the creature In a sort of wonder. Animai or man, my heart sent a great gush of feeling all through my being toward him, as I aaw him smiling fondly in my face. He should always have my friendship after this. I could almost fancy the old fellow was wagging a tail all to pieces, such a light was In his restless eyes; and yet his face was almost that of a fat, good-natured negro. Being careful where 1 stepped, I moved along the edge of a great well, came to a place where the shelf widened, and found myself facing a short hall, at the end of which there was light, dim and diffused. We were soon at the limit of our Journey in this direction, for here also the precipice terminated the passage. As I looked below I saw that vapor was rising, as if from heated rocks. Then I made out fissures In the floor, fifty feet below us; and this floor was covered with peculiar excrescences, half hidden by the steam. When revealed, these resembled stalagmites, melted and slumped down like great nodules, "double-chinned,” I am tempted to write, but “double” would not express the multiplicity of “chins.” These nodules appeared to be of the brightest yellow color, but so often were they veiled in fhe mist that I could not be sure of anything concerning their ap-
pearance and formation.
Presently, while I was trying to study the odd features of the place, as well as to determine the source of the light, the rumbling and roaring we had heard before recommenced. It was louder, more awe-compelling, for it came from the fissures directly beneath us. It seemed to go booming upward and through the cavern as if the god of the under world were grumbling out a huge complaint. This voice increased, in wave-like volumes; the rock gave a tremor, and then with a seething and hissing, with a tumble of sound which issued from the depths of the earth-creature, as if it were growling at having to work, a great geyser of boiling water and steam shot upward and toppled back to his bed. I reeled away, with an involuntary movement. Below the water swashed about and foamed in mighty agitation. The caldron heaved up swirling tides and the drowned murmur burst forth through bubbles. The giant below gathered anew a mighty strength and blew up a fountain as
as where I was standing.
I saw a falling blob of the water strike on a small projection near mv foot. Then the demonstration ceased, the roar became subdued, as if the grumbler withdrew to his realm of molten substance, and only great clouds of the vapor arose as before. The projection where the water had struck caught my glance, for assuredly It possessed a remarkable gleam. Stooping I looked at it closely. It was a nodule of something metallic, shaped somewhat like a small pear. I touched It, finding It barely warm; then I grasped It firmly and gave it a wrench. It came away from the rock in my band. | By its remarkable weight, its color and its luster, J knew it instantly for gold. It was solid gold, nature's own deposit—a nugget most peculiarly constructed. I knew in that moment that all those massive nodules below had a right to gleam with yellow color, for all were gold—the purest gold, from the great inscrutable
laboratory of earth itself!
I recalled what I had read and learned of the waters and acids mingled with the molten interior of the planet; how they dissolve the precious metals, hold them in solution and come with them bubbling to the suiface, spouting through the fissures in the crust; how through the centuries they deposit atom by atom of their rich freightage on the rocks, permeating the very tiiwiue of stones and porous substances, to leave them at last all streaked and flaked with gleaming yellow; and then how the fluids retire, the earth cools down, and man—ages after—comes wandering by and delves day and night to rob the fissures of their hoardings. I knew that below us a monster treas-ure-house was being filled by this wonderful process, slowly, surely, regularly, hour after hour, while generation after generation of men came and strove and went to their graves, willing to bargain off souls to know where to get but a little of this cold, glinting metal of the earth.

CHAPTER X.
DAYLiuriT AT LAST. There were many expressions of relief on the part of our waiting friends when again the forward movement was commenced, in the right-hand tunnel. Those at the rear had become particularly anxious; the darkness was evidently a source of much vague alarm. The passage we were now in was inclined downward. It wound in a general direction at right angles to the one which led to the caldron of gold. In places it became so low that we were obliged to creep on hands and knees. This condition finally prevailed, so that I began to believe we were wedging ourselves Into a crack. If this were true, then the case would be worse than hopeless—It w-ould be horrible. The death, one by one, of all the Links, in such a place as this, would be appalling to the last degree. 1 went steadily ou. my knees growing tender from contact with the rocks. Presently Fatty and the chief, directly behind me, gave a low exclamation of affright. I halted, but heard nothing. Perhaps they were able to smell some enemy, for certainly their monosyllables gave a warning, easy to Interpret. "tYhat is it?” I said as if they could understand and let me know. “What’s the
matter?”
Those behind made low sounds of worry. It made me desperate. If anything confronted us now, it was too late to pause; there was no such thing as turning back. I drew my knife and advanced, feeling cold creepers go down my back. It might be the den of a tiger, I thought, but surely such a beast would prefer to

I thought we should encounter more of the snakes, but not until I had come, most cautiously, to the growth which formed a door to the cavern,- did I see anything move. In the vines a few inches of tall were intertwined, but before I could deliver a good stab this serpent escaped. I now slashed away tendrils and creepers in a sort of frenzy, for the darkness and closeness of the cave had oppressed me with a feeling which developed into horror. We in the lead were soon out, on a small bluff, overlooking a dense wood; indeed there was jungle all about. I heard not a few sounds of crashing branenes, where heavy-weight animals made away from the neighborhood and sound of our voices. What a strange sight it was to see the cave pouring forth that collection of apelike Links. Nearly all were chattering— not talking—like so many monkeys, frightened to the point of being crazy. On getting out into the light, not a few ran about as if they would leave us altogether and hide In the trees. The lighters, however, huddled the females and young ones together, and glanced aoom and at me, with their round, restless eyes, as If to know what to do next. Left to themselves they would doubtless have soon been self-reliant and capable of thinking and acting for themselves, but having followed me blindly, through an ordeal totally foreign to any previous experience, they were hopelessly dependent upon me now. This I knew, for even the fawning creature was humbled. I knew also that our old “home” would have to be abandoned and a new one made. I was likewise aware of the necessity of selecting a place which could be more easily defended—a point of vantage. This base we must secure as speedily as possible, for already the sun was nearly down. Studying the faces of the calmer Links, as they looked about, I was not encouraged to believe they knew where we were, with regard to the abandoned camp. To get my bearings I went up the hill wc were on, to the edge of the jungle. From there I was able to see a portion of the lake which I had seen from the volcanic peak Above this water, on the summit of the hill, was a clear space discernible, with rock formations and Indications of springs. If it had fruit-bear-ing trees It would be nearly right for our needs and purposes. Fatty and several others, including the chief and his albino mate, having followed me up the hill, I indicated the spot to which I desired them to lead the way. They comprehended and conveyed the whole plan to the tribe in about three separate monosyllables, whereupon we
made a start. CHAPTER XL
A CAMP ON THE HILL.
We found signs of wild animals in great number and variety, as we forced our trail through the jungle, but sq considerable a concourse of creatures as ours was sure to frighten anything and
everything from the line of march. It .. seemed to me to be a place In which fquestion
company was exceedingly desirable. . A feeling of relief came over me when at length we reached the clearing we had selected from afar, and made our way to the rounded summit af the hill. No sooner had I signed for a halt than half a dozen of the fighters advanced and laid at my feet the seashell receptacle, filled with our flints, and everything else which had been saved when we fled into the cave, all of which had been carried at great pains through the tunnel. These things I had quite forgotten in our stress of cares. The place we had reached proved to be ideal for a settlement. Not only were fruit and nut trees abundant, but the forest contained countless woods of value, while huge bamboos were flourishing not far away, at a marshy spot, and the hills and ravines about us were teeming with birds and game. We held a commanding position, the rock-formations of which made a natural fortification nearly complete. Through the trees, in one direction, I could see the lake, a thing which gave me the greatest delight, for I- thought it might mean almost anything
to me later on.
Although we got the benefit of a cool-' ing breeze, the end of the day was intensely hot. While we had been out of the tunnels probably no longer than about an hour and a half, yet the whole adventure made the day seem very long. Thirsting for water. I hastened down the side of our hill to where I saw' signs of a spring. Clear water, sure enough, was gushing out of a fissure, and I hastened to drihk. The first mouthful fetched me up standing, bitterly ■ disappointed. The water was salt. For a second I was ready to curse the living fountain, and then I fairly danced \yith delight. (TO BE CONTINUE^ TO-MORROW.)
[form a Staff Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, December 31,-The shipping Interest on the Pacific coast is objecting so earnestly against the Philippine tariff bill because it does not extend the coastwise laws to the Philippines that the Senate may kill the provision of the bill that “until otherwise provided the provisions of law restricting to vessels of the United States the transportation of passengers and merchandise directly or Indirectly from one port of the United States to another port of the United States shall not be applicable to foreign vessels engaged in trade between the Philippine archipelago and the United

States.
Concerns interested in shipping on the Atlantic coast have joined the Pacific ship owners in urging that the coastwise law's be extended Immediately.
» • A
The impression that the Senate may not agree to the tariff rates fixed by the bill is gaining strength day by day. There are indications that sentiment In favor of free trade with the dependencies is taking root. If private talk is any indication, the subject will be debated at length In the Senate. The point Is being made that the claims of the Philippines are vastly superior to those of Cuba, and yet the President and the Secretary of War are Insisting that Cuba shall have relief. If the administration would have Its way, Cuban sugar and tobacco would be admitted free, while all that Governor Taft and the Philippine commission is asking Is that the duties on imports from the Philippines be reduced 50 per cent, on these articles. In the case of Cuba, Senators say, there Is no moral obligation to be compared with that resting on Congress in dealing with the Philippine situation. The one must be treated, ln_a way, as foreign territory, while the ®J“gr rniwt be considered as a part of the Unitetd States.
