She Stoops to. Conquer.
Ellen Vernon was the only daughter
of a rich gentleman who dwelt in a
country mansion buried in the midst of
stately woods.
She was eminently beautiful, highly
accomplished, and possessed a good
and kind heart. Her being an heiress
also added to her great attractions.
She loved a poor cousin, Henry Mor-
land by name, who, at an early age, had
been left an orphan, and whom Ellen’s
father, Sir John Vernon, had brought
up and educated. From their earliest
years, at intervals, such as his holidays
and college vacations, the young people
had been, in a manner, brought up to-
gether; and as their ages were almost
alike, and Henry was a well-made
handsome fellow, possessing consider-
able mental and personal attractions,
their assimilation of taste, so much as
anything else, had contributed to waken
up feelings between them that neither
had as yet given vent to in words.
Henry loved his beautiful and wealth;
cousin to distraction. But the sense of
his own dependence kept him from
advancing his claims.
Sir John Vernon had the most per
feet confidence in‘lIenry's honor. Net.
thinking that there htight be the slight-
est danger in permitting the young
people to be together, he continued to
regard them both with the same tender
solicitude as ever, as though they were
in a manner brother and sister.
1t was “ leap year,” and the vacation
which Henry spent at the Hall proved
on this occasion to be to him a source
of» pain and agony. The beauty of
Ellen, her artlcssness, her affectionate
manner, and her frankness, raised his
aifections to such a. height that the
very excess of his love magnified his
diliiculties, and made him look with a
sensation of fear upon his passion,
which once or twice prompted him to
speak, and by consequence became an
ingrate to his benefactor, to whom he
owed everything in the world. He re-
solved to die rather than incur the dis-
pleasure of his uncle, the sting of his
own reproaches, and the possible rejec-
tion of his suit by Ellen. This thought
beyond all others was most pregnant
with pain. He therefore shu'nned her
- presence as 'much‘as he could, and
spent whole days in the library, brood-
ing upon his lost prospects.
Ellen noticed this change, and with
a woman’s tact, comprehended the
reason of it. With a mixture of grief
' and pleasure she engaged herself in the
execution of a plan, which was that of
awakening his jealousy, and driving
him into a confession to which she was
only too willing to listen. lA rumor
was accordingly spread that a sporting
baronet of the neighborhood had not
only- determined upon wooing the
young lady but also of winning her,
having laid a very heavy wager upon
the result. Henry’s passion was in-
stantly aroused, and rage, vexation and
love by turns tormented him. He
would have called the insolent rival
out, having accused his cousin of play-
ng false, forgetting that she had never
plighted faith to him; he accused the
world of nnkindness, his uncle of
tyranny; in fact, like a lover utterly ’
beside himself, he would ' have been
guilty of a thousand extravagances,
but the. intolerable idea came, what
was he to her, or she to him? What
right had he to dictate or to question?
And thus he was as far off as ever.
Ellen found that her plan for awaken:
ing his jealousy had been effectual
enough, but that no other result at-
tended it. She also found that her poor
cousin’s sadness and dejection in-
creased, and its melancholy began to
communicate itself to her.
It was therefore absolutely neces-
sary. for the happiness of both that
matters should be brought to a crisis;
for, in addition to the annoyance she
felt at Henry’s silence, the marriage
which was rumored in jest began to
take an aspect of serious earnestness, a
proposal having actually come, from 'a
- licll and estimable man in every way,
to her father, which proposal Sir John
Vernon had just communicated to her.
llolding in her hand the letter which
had been sent to Sir John, she sought
the library, and her heart beat a. little
strongly as she reflected that she was
about to press her cousin, so that he
should either be compelled to declare
his passion at once, or give her up for-
ever. .
“ Ellen,” said he, “ let me beseech you
to tell me what is the cause of this agi-
tation; you alarm me—why are you so
moved?” 2
,“Do you behold this letter?” ask
Ellen, tapping it, accompanying the
action with a mysterious look.» ‘
Henry glanced upon it with increased
misgiving, but merely said, “ Yes.”
“And can you guess its contents?
No, you cannot; you who have ceased
to be interested in me, cannot divine
its nature.”
“ Spare me reproaches that I have not
merited, Ellen,” said Henry, in atone
so mouthful as to-make her regret the
words she had used in amere jest. “If
you knew all," he continued, “ you
would be inclined to be more lenient
toward me. “I do not say pity." he
added, with a. bitter emphasis, “ because
there is something debasing in the sen-
timent. But to end this, unpl‘OfiI‘vavble
as it is, tell me what all this signifies—-
. suspense is agony—what is that paper ?" .
“Read it, and judge for yourself;”
and as Ellen spoke she gave him the
dreaded letter. Hastily glancing over
it, his countenance grew white as a.
sheet, and he felt himself about to faint
from the deadly sickness that attacked
him. He made a desperate effort to
bear against it, but the internal fight he
had long held' had prostrated his
strength more than, he thought, and he
sank with a groan, upon the chair. -
“For Heaven's love. Henry. what ails
' en\
. you?“ cried Ellen in turn. “Alas, 'I
have carried this to too cruel an ex-
tremity!" she murmured, and Henry
began slowly to open his eyes.
The letter was, in fact, an excel-
lently well written but forInal proposi-
tion for her hand, and as the writer
was not ten years the lady’s senior,
though of a cold and pompous disposi-
tion, there could not be any very serious
obstacle in the way. It was to.Henry
Morcland like the receiving of a death-
blow; a sense of duty, of propriety, of
mauliness, came to his aid, however;
and with a desperate effort, he said,
‘-[—l~congratulate you, Miss Ver-
non.”
“I won’t be congratulated,” broke in
Ellen; “ and you are not in earnest-when
you say so; and I won’t be called Miss
Vemon~you may as well say Lady
licazly of Beazly Hall at once—it’s odi-‘
ous—it's shameful!" and she walked
impatiently about him. There wasa
pause on his part, for he knew not what
to say. .
“ Why don’t you speak to me, Henry ?"
begun Ellen; “Have you no feeling ?"
“ You have a proposal,”said Henry,
“that manya lady in the country would
I should wish you wedded to a"
ma you love; for, whatever you may
think of me, I cannot forget that we
have been children together, and your
happiness has always been the object
of my thoughts.”
“ Thank you, Henry! thank you!” and
wit l a frank, unconscious and unspeak-
ably tender manner, she laid both hands
upon his shoulders, and bent her deep,
beautiful eyes upon his face.
It was next to impossible for any one
to resist the fascination of that glance,
and Henry, attracted without the
power of resisting, took her face in his
hands and kissed her forehead. ,
It recalled him to himself; and the
sudden revulsion was absolute tor-
ture.
“I cannot pretend to advise you in
this matter, my sweet cousin," he be-
gan; “ but if you entertain the thought,
I trust you will be happy.”
“I detest the man!” cried Ellen, fling~
ing away his. hand angrily. “ One
would think that all were turned
against me.”
“ Do not believe it,” said Henry,
gravely, “and as this may be the last
interview—”
“The last ?” echoed Ellen.
“That we may have for years to
come, let us not part with a misunder-
standing. Had my own prospects been
different I should have found myself in
a condition to—to advise you better."
“ In what way, Henry ?” asked Ellen,
with an arch smile.
“I cannot tell you now. Let it suf-
lice to say that my inability to do ought
prevents me from saying what I wbuld.
Poor and dependent as I am, with a
debt of gratitude to pay, which I would
not have lessened by a sentiment of
false pride,I must tell you that, for
my own happiness, my own advance-
ment, I must make a bold step in the
world and fight amongst men for my
own share of good or ill fortune,a's
fate wills it." -
“But what necessity is there for
this ‘3” demanded Ellen, with a touch of
her old impatience. “Does not my
father love you? Has he not made
your future prospects his study? Be-
sides, it will be necessary for you to
attend, as a near relative, at my
brida .” '
A faint smile crossed his pale lips as
he said. “In this, without accusing
me of unkindness, you must hold me
excused. I can make some sacrifices
of feeling, but this is beyond my
power."
“ Will you, if you please, speak
plainer, and tell me what you mean
and why you cannot do this?" asked
alien with mock~ gravity; “for,"
thought she, “ he will tell me now that
he loves me."
Every sentiment which makes a man
respect himself—every impulse of
honor will tie my tongue forever on
that head. Spare me then, Ellen," he
added mournfully; “I cannot prolong
this interview. I am so little tutored
in disguising my feelings, that I must
say I regret this, while I trust it will
eventually be for the security of your
own happiness.”
“ You love me, Henry—you love me!"
cried Ellen, catching him by the arm.
Ellen felt that he trembled from head
to foot. She saw that he turned as pale
as death; but the firm compression of
those pallid lips told her that nothing
could wring forth a confession from
him. She knew that his lofty nature
cherished a sense of honor bordering
upon the chivalric. He was silent.
“Must I, then, speak?" said Ellen.
“ Is the order of things to bereversed ‘2”
And she smiled radiantly. “It‘ is well
for my maidenly character that Leap-
year entitles ladies to a privilege which
they may use uncensored; Henry, my
dear cousin, I love you!" Must I sue
in vain? Will you ‘not love your pretty
cousin Ellen ?”
The astonishment of the youth was
only equaled by his joy. With the most
unfeigned rapture beaming out in
every feature, he could barely articu-
late her name, “Ellen!"
“ Well, sir ?"
“Are you jesting with me? Do not
torture my heart, already over-
wrought.” .
“ Cousin Henry, I love you," was her
reply. “Will you not love me in re-
turn ?”
“Now, and forever!" exclaimed he,
clasping her to his breast. “ As I have
always fondly loved you."
“Then let us go in and see papa,”
said Ellen. “I am sure of his consent;
and what is more, I was of age yester-
day, and no one seems to have taken
the slightest notice of it, so that if he
should be inclined to object, .I can act
upon my own. responsibility.”
Need we say the result. The same
day Sir John Vernon’s consent ratified
their loves, and a few weeks after he-
held them happily wedded; and the
festivities of that occasion_will‘ prob-
ably be engraven in the chronicles of
some country traditions when those
who gave rise to them are deeping
peacefully in the dust; their lives hav-
ing glided away in the midst of peace
and domestic felicity.

“ College man, Eh ?” said old Gram-
us.
p “ Yes, sir,” young .Mr.‘ Slim me skly
admitted. ' ,
“Thought so,” growled the old man;
“ Graduated, I reckon ?’ ,
“ Yes,” young Slim confessed.
“ Now,” said the old man, “ what did.
you learn when you graduated ? Come,
speak up if you want the place." ,
“Nothing," said young Slim, still
more meekly; “nothing at all."
. ~“ Thought so,’,' roared the old man in
triumph; “just what I thought.”
-“ You see,” added young Mr. Slim, in
a voice that Moses might have envied,
“we don't learn anything when. we
graduate; we have to learn it all be-
fore.” , ,
Young Mr. Slim deserved the situa-
tion, but he didn’t get it, all the some.
~A NEW~ KIND OF GLASS.
A Discovery that May Vastly Improve the
Microscope.
That a recent wonderful discovery
in microscopy has not been even noted
in the public press may be cited as
proof of the general apathetic tendency
as regards scientific matters. The
microscope has always been regarded
glass lately its powers are increased to
an incredible degree. It was in the
year 1878 that Dr. Abbey read a paper
before the South Kensington Associa-
tion, in England, in which be strongly
set forth his ideas that it was possible
that a new kind of glass might be made
which would increase the power of the
microscope. In the year 1881 he and
Dr. Scott, a celebrated chemist, began
to experiment in the town of Witten,
in Westphalia. Their funds gave out
in 1883, however, before they had ob-
tained any remarkable results from
their experiments, but both were so
. sanguine of making a beneficial dis-
covery, if they had funds ' to continue
their work, that the Prussian govern-
ment was induced to give $1,500 for
the continuation of experiments.
Professor Abbey and Dr. Scott then
erected a laboratory in Germany, at:
the works of Carl Zeiss, a manufacturer
of instruments used by scientists. They
tried nearly all known elements, and
it was only about six months ago that
their “long labor was crowned with suc-
cess-which will make them famous in
the history of science.
The ordinary glass contains six sub-
stances. The new glass made by Pro-
fessor Abbey and Dr. Scott contains
fourteen. The most essential elements
of which it is composed are phosphorus
and boron, neither of which is used in
common glass. With the old glassthe
full power of the microscope was the
discernment of the one-five-hundred-
thousandth part of an inch, and with
the new glass it is claimed that the one-
two - hundred - and-four - million- seven-
hundred-thousandth part; of an inch
can be distinguished. This certainly
seems incredible, but positive assur-
ance of its truth is given by parties
who have tested Professor Abbey’s and
Dr. Scott’s new instrument. When
the discovery was first made Carl
Zeiss, the manufacturer, in whose place
the experimentalists had worked, was
in favor of getting out a patent, so that
the discovery might prove a most
profitable one, but the fact of the
experiments having been conducted
with funds supplied by the Prussian
government prevented the discoverers
from making it a private enterprise
and compels them to make it a public
benefit. The difference between the
new and the old glass consists in the
refraction of light. The glass is not
on the market yet, but will be very
shortly. It will be used entirely for
high-power instruments. The bene
fits to be derived from the discovery
can hardly be estimated. It will, of
course, be of great value in microscopic
photography.
.' Demons of the Sea.
The mere sight of a shark chills the
blood, so villainous is his look, so rapa-
cious the hideous leer which he casts
up at those who look down upon him.
Of sharks there are many kinds, most
of them with a sort of fierce beauty in
their shapes and the marks upon them.
Such is the fin-tail, whose color is
cinereous, streaked in some parts with
red and dotted with small black spots.
Such, too, is the sea-fox, as it used to
be called, to be met in the Mediter-
ranean, and'remarkable for the great
length and elegance of its tall, the body
being about seven feet and the tail
six feet long. But the most substan-
tial horror of the deep is the white
shark, often thirty feet long, and of an
average weight of about 4,000 pounds.
It is described as having a mouth fur-
nished with a six-fold row of teeth,
fiat, triangular, sharp at the edges and
finely serrated. When the shark is in
a. state of repose these dreadful teeth
remain flat in the mouth, but when it
seizes its prey these rows of grinders
rise like the fable growth of deadly
weapons from the soil. It is not very
surprising that out of this grim and
merciless companion of the mariner
sailing under tropical heavens many
quaint and striking superstitions should
have been evolved. For ages seamen
have regarded it as a creature of ill-
omen; They believe it capable of
scouting a victim, even though he
should be perfectly well and without
suspicion of his death being close at
hand, and that it would follow a. ship
that had a dead body in her for leagues
and leagues. 0f its voracity therois
no end of the stories told. A French
naturalist asserts that it prefers white
men to black, which we believe is
pretty well known; but goes an to pay
us,'as a people, a curiouscompliment,
by saying that, of all persons, sharks
like Englishmen, most. The same man
says that a shark cut' Open at Marseil-
les was found to contain a man clad in
armour in its stomach, while inside of
another shark there was found a whole
horse! It is comforting to read that
the shark is kind to its young, taking
its infant into its stomach in case of
moral nature, and that if ever it did
swallow its offspring it would be rather
to digest it than to preserve it.

0n the banks of the Murray, N. S.
W., which separates Victoria from New
South Wales, a Presbyterian minister
had his charge, .his church, and resi-
dence being on the Victoria side, and a
portion of his congregation residing on
that of New South Wales. In the course
of eventsayoung lady of his people
was to be married; but with the fancies
that young ladies so often indulge in,
she would be married inher father’s
home, which was- on the New South
Wales shore, and byher pastor, who,
as it appeared at the last moment, was
registered only to tie a nuptial knot in
Victoria. Here was a pretty fix; the
hour had come—and the man. Moved
by tears of the lovely suppliant, the
minister was equal to the occasion.
It appears that the whole of the waters
of the Murray pertain to Victoria'so,
obtaining a boat, and putting therein
all his paraphernalia and books and
other instruments requisite for the per-
formance of the ceremony, he put on
from the shore. The young lady and
her friends came to the foot of her
father’s grounds, and the party stand-
ing on the shore in battle array, the
marriage service was duly performed
by the minister in the boat. The mat-
riage was enrolled in the records at
Melbourne; but the question arises, or
'may arise, or in the event of certain
contingencies very certainly will arise,
is the marriage legal?

Indicators of the Mental Condition.
When there is no pressure upon their
minds, and they can" afford to be com-
fortable, men generally cross their legs.
But you-will never find a man actually
engaged in business with his legs
crossed. The limbs at those times-are
straighter than at any other because
the mind and bodywork together. A
man may cross. his legs if he is sitting
in an oilice chair discussing some busi-
ness proposition with another man,
but 1 the instant he becomes really in
earnest and perceives somethingto be
gained, his limbs uncross quick as a
flash, he bends forward toward his
neighbor and begins to use his hands.
That is a phase that I believe you will
always observe. Men often cross their
legs at public meetings, becauselthey go
there to listen, or to be entertained;
they are not the factors in'the perform
mance, and they naturally place them-
selves in the most comfortable position
known to them—4namely, leaning well
back in their chairs and crossing their
legs. A man always crosses his legs
when he, reads a' newspaper, but is
more apt to lie down when. he reads a
book. He reads the paper, of course,
to inform himiclf, but at the same time
the perusal of its contents is recreation
for him, and his body again seeks its
position cf relaxation. When a man is
reading a newspaper and waiting for
his breakfast his legs are always crossed,
but as soon as the breakfast is brought
to him he puts the paper aside, straight—
ens out his legs and goes to Work—that,
is, begins to eat, his mind now turning
on the duties of .the' day before him.
Mon cross their legs in a ball-room, but
it is far from an elegant thing to do,
and it is not done by those who have
been brought up in good society. It is
your “ three-penny-bit young man ”
who crosses legs at a ball, and, would
you believe it, I have seen young ladies
do the same thingl

How Butterine is Made.
Oleomargarine is the raw. material
from which butterine is made. It‘is
procured in this way: From the freshly-
slaughtered carcasses of cattle in the
abattoirs of large towns the superflu-
. ons portions of suct are taken to the
butterine factories. The finest, clean-
est, and sweetest portions only are
selected for making oleomargarine.
The process of manufacture isas fol-
lows: At the factory the'beef-suet is
thrown into tanks containing: tepid
water, and after standing 3. short time
it is washed repeatedly in cold water
and disintegrated and separated from
libre by passing it through a meat-
masher worked by steam, after 'which
it is forced through a fine sieve. It_is
then melted by surrounding the tanks
with water at a temperature of about
one hundred and twenty degrees Fah-
renheit. Great care is taken not to
exceed this point; otherwise the fat
would begin to decompose and acquire
a flavor of tallow. After being well
stirred, the adipose membrane subsides
to the bottom of the tank, and is separ-
ated under the name of “ scrao,” whilst
a clear yellow oil is left above together
with a film of white oily substance.
This film is removed by skimming, and
the yellow oil is drawn off and allowed
to solidify. The refined fat, as the sub-
stance is now known, is then. taken to
the press-room-which iskept at a tem-
perature of about ninety degrees Fah-
renheit—packed in cotton cloths, and
placed in galvanized iron plates ina
press. On being subjected to pressure,
oil flows away. The cakes of stearine
which remains are sent to the candle-
makers. The oil—which is now known
as oleomargarine—is filled into barrels
for sale or export, or directly made into
butterine by adding to it ten per cent.
of milk and churning the mixture. It
is now colored with annatto and rolled,
with ice to set it; salt is, added; the
process is finished and it is ready for
packing. . .
W -T
A FLYING MACHINE.
The Invention of a Clever Frenchman
for Aerial Navigation.
A mechanical engineer at Lyons,
France, claims to have inventeda sys-
tem of aerial navigation based on a
principle analogous to that employed
by nature in the flying mechanism it
has given to birds and insects, and which
is known in mechanics as “the heavier
than the air” principle. M. Pompeieu
Piraud’s flying machine has somewhat
the shape of an enormous bird. It is
supplied with a pair of great articu-
lated wings, constructed according to
the type presented by the wings of the
heaviest birds of long flight known,
such as the eagle, condor, stork, wild
turkey, etc. Like the wings of these
birds, Piraud divides the wings of his
machine into three parts, the humerus,
the radius and cabitus, and the head or
extremity of the wing. They are to be
set in motion by a steam engine, and
are concave below and convex above.
The anterior part of the wing is flex-
ible, but still sufficiently rigid to give
that whip-like blow a bird gives with
its wings when descending. The poste-
rior portion is flexible along its whole
extent. Wings are fastened to the
central part of the machine by a car-
dan, er ball and socket articulation,
and connected with it by means of the
various levers necessary to give them
the various motions desired. When
stationary the wings are folded up
against the body of the machine. If
the levers are moved they open, spread
out, and rise with a motion like that of
a seesaw from back to front, showing
an inclined plane on the inferior sur-
face; then - they turn on their short
axis, with a motion similar to that of
the shoulderblsde of a bird ,in the act
of flying, moving downward and back-
ward; as the wing descends it describes
a curve from below, backward, and
as it rises it describes another curve
from above, forward, the line it deo
scribes in the air having the form of the
figure 8. A rudder which acts entirely
independently of the wings completes
the apparatus, the occupant of which
stands or sits on a support inside the
*machiiie. which is so arranged as to
move according asthe centre of gravity
is displaced by the raising or- descend-
ing motionof the machine.

gets scarce. _ The true policy is to take
up interior fenws so far as practicable.
Sheep will cifectuall y clean up a field
filled 'with Weeds, bricrs, bushes and
other rubbish, thereby saving much
labor with the bush scythe, and by their
droppings prepare the field for the
plough. '
Most'farmers have learned that cut
hay’ or. even istraw‘ wet and sprinkled
,withv'iiieal ll better feed for working
horses than-whole grain and hay. In
this shape the nutriment in the feed is-
Wilr‘cstmsfidjbflib digested. .
A calf will thrive cu milk after the
cream has been taken off. It is better
fed to themjsWeet and warm. The cold
milk taken from -fthc creamer-y is not
good. ' It chliisdhe stomach and draws
from the vitality of ' the animal to warm
it. ‘ ‘ ‘ .
Tomatoes trained to stakes give the
sweetest fruit and remain in bearing
the longest; but many cultivators, who
grow fol-”size dud quantity only, believe
ing them on the level ground.
All small apples and others defective
in farm or damaged by worms have
their best market on the farm as food
for animals. If packed with sound
fruit,”even in small proportion, they re-
duce the price of'all even to the point
of loss. .' ' '
' Straw may berendered more valuable
by being cut into short lengths and
mixed with chopped hay and grain.
It will greatly assist in increasing the
amOunt of course material, if so fed,
and the practice is much more econom-
ical than that of using it for bedding
' entirely.
In order to guard against flies the
stable should be thoroughly cleaned
often. A sprinkling of the floors with
a mixture of a teaspoonful of carbolic
acid and two gallons of water, will dis-
infect the stall, while thc manure heap
may also receive an application with
advantage.
To compel Brahmas and Cochins to
roost high will be cruelty. They have
diliiculty not only in getting upona
high roost but in getting off. All roosts
should be made low and on the same
hand. There is no necessity for having
'them high, and as nearly all diseases of
the feet arisa from high roosts they
should be abolished.
' Orchards that are in grass contiually
are sometimes injured; The best meth-
od is to plow under the grass, lime the
land, give an application of well-rotted
nionure, and ‘re-seed. Some orchards do
best when in grass, if the soil is rich,
but the peach and plum are exceptions.
The grass should however,be plowed
under occasionally. '
Few farm crops take up so much
potash as the potato. It is an alkaline-
juiee that; stains the hands when paring
potatoes and iFis' best removed by ox-
alic acid. This alone should be asuf-
licient hint as to the kind of fertilizer
most needed by potatoes, and is the
reason why this crop soonest falls on
. sandy soil, where potash is usually de-
ficient.- _
Milk can be fed to poultry in any
condition, either as skimmed milk, but-
ter milk, curds, or when minted with
meal or ground grain of any kind. It
isavaluable food for egg production,
being ‘rich in albumen, and supplies
many substances that may be lacking
in other foods. It is cheap on those
farms where only the cream is desired,
and it will give better results with
' poultry than when fed to pigs.
If cows are allowed to dry and rest
about six weeks before calving they
will be in better condition when they
come into full flow again. It imposes
adouble duty on‘the cow to yield a
' large amount of milk daily, and also
provide material for the growth of
the foetus and supply bodily waste.
Give her a respite, feed her well, and
she will produce a better calf and yield
a larger proportion of milk.
The albumen or white of an egg is
somewhat similar to blood in composi-
tion, and the poultry-man will find
it very profitable to procure fresh blood
from the slaughter houses whenever it
can be obtained. It can be put in a
bag and cooked, or it may be mixed
with twoparts cornmeal and one part
shorts, baked into cakes and crumbled
.for the chicks whenever it is needed.
Fed to hens it Increases egg production,
being cheaper than meat and much
more beneficial.

EGG stains on silver can be taken all
with table salt and a wet rag. ,
IRON unsu—This may be removed
by salt mixed with a little lemon juice
put in the sun; if necessary use two
applications. '
To CLEAN rinw.inE.—The best thing
for cleaning tin‘ware is common soda;
dampen a. clotli,‘dip it in soda, rub the
ware briskly, after which wipe dry.
To CLEAN CUT-GLASS. —IIaving
washed cut-glass articles, let them dry,
and afterwards rub them with prepared
chalk and a soft brush, carefully going,
into all the cavities. '
TIIE skin of a boiled egg is the most-
efficacious remedy that can be applied
to a boil. Peel carefully, wet and apply
to the part affected. It will draw oil
the matter and relieve the soreness in a
few hours. '
A LITTLE ammonia or borax in the
water you wash your hands with, and
that water just lukewarm, will keep
the skin clean and soft. A little out
meal mixed withthe water will whiten
the hands.
CUSTARD Pin—Beat three eggs and
three Itablespoonsful sugar together for
at least five minutes; acid three teacups-
t'ul fresh milk, and flavor to taste;
bake in deep pie plate lined with pie
crust, and watch carefully so that it
will not be cooked too much.
To rnrcassnn roam—Cut; a small
sparerib or chine of pork into pieces,
cover with water and stew until tender;
remove the meat, and flavor the gravy
with salt, and pepper, and thicken with
a. little flour. Serve in a deep dish, in
the gravy, and garnish the dish with
rice.
THIS is said to be a good test for the
purity of butter. A clean piece of
paper is smeared with a little of the
suspected butter. The paper is then
rolled up and set on fire. If the butter
is pure the smell of the burning paper
is rather pleasant; but the odor is dis—
tinctlyvtallowy if the “butter ” is made
up wholly or in part of animal fats.
T0 CANDY aura—Three 'cups of
sugar, one cup of water; boil until it
burdens when dropped in water, then
flavor with lemon. It must not boil
after the lemon is put in. Put anut
on the end of a fine knitting-needle,
take out and turn on the needle until
it is cool. If the candy gets cold, set
on the stove for a few minutes. Malaga
grapes and oranges, quartered, may be
candied in the same way.
STEAMED PUDDING.—TWO eggs, one
cup each of sugar and sour milk, one-
half teaspoonful of soda, 3» little salt,
dried entrants, raisins or other fruit,
and one cup of flour. Beat the eggs
and stir in the sugar, dissolve the soda
in milk, and mix in also the soda and
salt; then thicken with flour rather
thicker than for cake, put into a two-
quart pan and set in the steamer and
steam an hour and a half.
Wonk BAGS—A. very pretty work
bag may be made of a handsome silk-
handkerchief. Gather it in a circle
five inches from the corner and one
inch. from the edges; make two run—
nings through which to thread a nar-
row ribbon to draw it up with. Finish
the edge withbroad lace and embroider
the corners. It is now the fashion to
have the full christian name embroid-
ered across the middle of the handker-
chicfs, diagonally.
SPANISH BUN.—Yolks of four eggs,
two cups of brown sugar, one half cup
of butter, one cup of sweet milk, one
teaspoonful of soda, two teaspoonsful
of cream of tartar, one teaspoonful of
cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bake
in a moderate oven. Use for frosting
the whites of four eggs beaten to a
stiff froth, add one quarter cup of
sugar, flavor to taste and spread evenly
on the cake. If desired it can be put in
the oven until a nice brown.
A GOOD GREASE ERADICTOI‘..——-All
excellent grease eradicator is made of
the following ingredients: Ammonia,
two ounces; soft water, one quart;
saltpetre, one teaspoonful; fine soap,
in shavings, one ounce; mix thoroughly
and keep in a covered vessel. This
recipe is a simple one, yet it has made
millionnaires of four men who have
successively controlled proprietary
rights to use it.
CIDER APPLE JELLY.-—Cut good,
ripe apples in quarters, putthem in a
kettle and cover them with sweet cider,
just from the press. (It should, if pos-
sible, be used the day it is made—or,
at any rate, before it has worked at
all). Boil until well done, and drain
through a sieve. Do not press it
through. Measure the liquor, and to
each pint add one pound of sugar.
Boil from twenty minutes to half an
hour.
A USEFUL and pretty apron is made
of the blue or red crossed-barred glass
toweling. They may have pockets
across the bottom for work, the divi-
sion being marked by fancy stitching.
Discs or snow-crystals may be embroid-
ered in the checks. The embroidery and
stitching should be done with cotton
the color of the cross—bars. The bot-
tom of the apron may be edged with
knotted fringe. Merino aprons have a
boxplait on either side of the middle,
extending to the hem. The centre oi
the plaits is drawn to admit the inser
tion of ribbon three inches in width.

Removals Under Jackson and Hayes.
But not only the stories against Mrs.
Eaton . disturbed the president; the
pressure for office was a. terrible strain
upon him. Men were there, women
were there to sustain the applications
of their husbands, fathers, brothers,
cousins and other relatives. The crowd
was so turbulent, enormous and per-
sistent that an order was issued not to
admit any person to any of the depart-
ments until a late hour in the day.
General Jackson has been made the
scapegoat for all removals from office
under his administration. He has been
: '- represented by every partisan scribble]:
and political historian as ’ the man
above, all others. who demoralized
politics by bestowing public offices on
men as a reward for political services.
Great injustice has, been done him.
The invectives hurled at him have been
wanton and uncalled for. N 0 man ought
to be severely censured for not being
beyond his age in virtue and honesty.
We have had but few persons in high '
position in this country who had the
moral courage and independence to
resist the pressure that has surrounded-
the White House. More can be said in
justification of the removals made by
General Jackson than those made by
President Hayes. J ackson’s professions
against turning men out of office for
opinion sake were not so pronounced
as those of Mr. Hayes, and yet Mr.
Hayes removed more men from office
in the first six months of his adminis-
tration than did President Jackson.
Let not the Republican reader be
shocked at this statement. It will be
- found correct. _ .. ..
