WHITE CELERY SOUP.--Cut two heads of celery into finger lengths,
and simmer in a quart of milk for half an hour. Remove the pieces of
celery with a skimmer. Thicken the soup with a tablespoonful of
cornstarch braided with a little milk, add salt if desired, and a teacup
of whipped cream.




TABLE TOPICS.

    Soup rejoices the stomach, and disposes it to receive and digest
    other food.--_Brillat Savarin._

    To work the head, temperance must be carried into the
    diet.--_Beecher._

    To fare well implies the partaking of such food as does not disagree
    with body or mind. Hence only those fare well who live
    temperately.--_Socrates._

    The aliments to which the cook's art gives a liquid or semi-liquid
    form, are in general more digestible.--_Dictionaire de Medicine._

    In the most heroic days of the Grecian army, their food was the
    plain and simple produce of the soil. When the public games of
    ancient Greece were first instituted, the _athleta_, in accordance
    with the common dietetic habits of the people, were trained entirely
    on vegetable food.

    The eating of much flesh fills us with a multitude of evil diseases
    and multitudes of evil desires.--_Perphyrises, 233 A.D._

     No flocks that range the valley free
     To slaughter I condemn;
     Taught by the Power that pities me,
     I learn to pity them.
     But from the mountain's grassy side
     A guiltless feast I bring;
     A scrip with herbs and fruits supplied
     And water from the spring.

    --_Goldsmith._




BREAKFAST DISHES

A good breakfast is the best capital upon which people who have real
work to do in the world can begin the day. If the food is well selected
and well cooked, it furnishes both cheer and strength for their daily
tasks. Poor food, or good food poorly prepared, taxes the digestive
powers more than is due, and consequently robs brain and nerves of
vigor. Good food is not rich food, in the common acceptation of the
term; it is such food as furnishes the requisite nutriment with the
least fatigue to the digestive powers. It is of the best material,
prepared in the best manner, and with pleasant variety, though it may be
very simple.
