THE SOUTHERN WORLD, AUGUST 1,1882.

By and by I explained how I came there
at that hour of the night, and they assured
me they would protect me from Mr. Wes
ton, should he come there seeking me.
But he did not come, neither then nor
ever; when morning dawned his boat was
found, bottom up, its sides being stove in
by being driven violently aganst a rock, and
later in the day, his body was recovered.
Succeeding my arrival at home only a few
hours, came a telegram from CouBin Jane’s
physician to my father, urgently requesting
him to hasten to her dying bed.
He obeyed and returned the next day,
sad and grave, and full of pity for her whose
weary life was ended.
“The shock killed her,” he said, “and
she sent for me to tell me what she meant
to tell you, Elsie, knowing she must die
soon. Long years ago she discovered from
her husband's restless talk in his sleep, that
his hand cut short my father's life. Yes, no
wonder you start, he smothered him to
death, and stole the true will because he
heard him say he had made and would burn
the old one the next day. His fear least
some one should discover the hiding place
of the true will, (somethiug held him bock
from destroying it,) led him to spend his
whole time in the room where it was. Jane
was mortally afraid of her wicked husband,
and said she believed he suspected her knowl
edge, for he seemed to hate her from that
time on, and constantly threatened her life.
Elsie my dear, there is a tradition of the
Orange that I have always laughed at, but I
shall laugh no longer. It is that when one
of the immediate family sleeps in the red
room, the last one deceased is allowed to
communicate with the sleeper, if there are
matters of moment to be revealed. The
room that Walker and Betsey placed you in,
was the red room—1 need say no more—Jane
under pressure bad willed the property to
her husband, and but for your grandfather,s
revelation of the will, we should never have
come into our rightful inheritance.”
Ilenltli Hints.
Wheat is the food of foods.
Very cold water congests the coats of the
stomach.
The science of prevention is the bestmeth-
od of cure.
Barley ranks next to corn for fattening,
but is poor nerve food.
Beans are also concentrated food, and
should be consecrated.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred sick
nesses begius in the stomach.
Give the people good health and you
change their moral status.
Wheat and rye are the best kinds of grain
for renewing the various tissues of the body
The state of circulation should be as good
on coming from a bath, as upon going to it.
To will to be healthy, implies plan, per
sistence, conscience, and a knowledge of the
laws of life.
Hard water is unfit to drink. Rain water
filtered or pure spring water only should be
used, whether in cooking, drinking or bath'
ing.
Sickness is the greatest moral evil existing
in the country to-day. Could we banish
that, we should practically close up our pen
itentiaries and tear down the jails.
Ourbrain-workers eat food, a ton of which
wilt make less nerve than half a ton ought.
This is why so many thinking men all over
the land break down prematurely.
Keep down a man’s alimentativeness and
you have the strongest grip on the baser
forces of his nature; the desire to eat is the
most central force in the sensuous nature of
man.
Whatever builds up the body in making
new tissue, bone, nerve, muscle or membrane,
is food; but nothing may be called food
which'does not help repair the waste of the
physical frame. Articles of diet having no
nutritive qualities ore, however, needed by
the system.
One of South Georgia’s most popular so
ciety ladies, a resident of Lowndes county,
has cleared this season on an acre and a
half truck farm over two hundred and fifty
dollars. She superintended its cultivation
in person.
Miss Belle Braddon is said to be the only
feminine railroad officer in the country. She
has just been elected Treasurer of the
Waynesburg and Washington railroad, in
Pennsylvania and is acting pay-master.

by an aged woman-hater to his nephew;

FASHION NOTES.
BY ATHALIA JA1QH.
The capote of medium size is the bonnet
of full dress.
The fashion for boquets, worn now quite
under the chin, has become a mania.
The terra cotta glove has proven a success,
notwithstanding its startling color; and it
is now sold by houses that condemned it
when it was first introduced.
Dresses without waists, the skirts attached
to the yokes or bands around the shoulders,
are very popular summer garments for little
girls under ten years of age.
Heavy laces are more in demand than
light ones. They imitate the embroidery
now so fashionable, and are frequently com
bined with it in dress garniture.
A large, loose sagging puff ismore fashion
able for the bottom of dress skirts than plait
ed or shirred flounces. One very narrow
plaiting is used however, to support the
puff.
The pretty fashion among young ladies,
of wearing two little curls in the coiffure
behind each ear, dopping upon the neck, is
still quite popular. It is very becoming to
some faces.
Muslin round hats for country wear are
made of polka-dotted white and ecru mus
lin ; the trimmings are fancy muslin hand'
kerchiefs and artificial daises, butter-cups
and white and pink Scotch roses.
Worth’s black dresses are combinations of
two or three fabrics, and have often a color
introduced. One special novelty is a black
grenadine made over white moire and trim
med with Spanish lace and moire ribbon.
Veils are now rather longer than the old
scarf of lace, which covers the eyes—to
their injury—leaving exposed the mouth
and chin, generally the least handsome part
of a woman’s face. The veils have a border
around them, but no beads.
A comfortable band for tying the hair for
braiding may be made of silk elastic thread
ed through a shoe button, and sewed into a
loop of six inches or so. The button must
be fastened at one end, and when the band
is wrapped around the hair the opposite end
buttons over it.
The modiste of the day should study the
art of colors quite as earnestly, to insure her
success, as the artist over his canvas—par
ticularly as the taste for rich coloring is con
stantly increasing. It is either this or black
and elegant black costumes have by no
means lost their prestige.
The present time is one when new devel-
opments in this line are almost ut stand'
still. The fashions for previous months are
now being fully carried out, and people seem
contented to continue with those they have
already adopted until time for early fall
fashions to be introduced. However, there
are some few hints that may now be given
The short round poka basque is much used
for summer surah dresses. This reaches two
inches below the waist line, is nearly straight
around, whaleboned to the lowest end of
the seams, (as all basques should be,) and is
finished on its edge with one or two thick
box-plai tings of satin, and perhaps on this
may fall a frill of Spanish lace, that is very
scant on the side and full like a fan in the
middle of the front and back.

Useful Recipes.
Cak* Custards.—Moisten two cupfuls of
stale cake with a custard made of one pint
of milk, four eggs, two tablesoonfuls of su
gar; put it into buttered cups, set them in
pan with enough hot water to reach half
way to the brim, and bake in a moderate
oven until the custard is firm. They may
be served in the cups, or may be turned out
and dusted with powdered sugar; any kind
of pudding sauce preferred may be served
with them.
Pcrfcction Cak*.—Three cups of sugar,
one of butter, one of milk, three’ of flour,
one of corn starch, whites of twelve eggs
beaten to a stiff froth, two teaspoonfuls of
cream tartar in the Hour and one of soda in
the milk; dissolve the corn starch in the
rest of the milk and add it to the sugar and
butter well beaten together; then the milk
and soda and the flour and whites of eggs.
This cake comes nearer to perfection than
any other yet discovered.
French Hash.—Mince very fine a tea
spoonful of onion, brown it in a tablespoon'
ful of butter, stir in a tablespoonful of flour,
and let that brown; then add a pint of
gravy, broth, or water, and cold beef cut in
full thick slices; season with salt and pep
per and heat it; draw the pan to aide of the
fire, and stir in the yolks of two raw eggs and
serve the bash at once; toast may be placed
under the hash.
Chile Sauce.—Twelve large, ripe tomatoes,
four ripe or three green peppers, two onions,
two tablespoonfuls salt, two of sugar, one of
cinnamon, three cups vinegar; peel toma
toes and onions, chop (separated) very fine,
add the peppers (chopped) with theotherin-
gredients, and boil one and a half hours.
Bottle and it will keep a long time. Stone
jugs are better than glass cans. One quart
of canned tomatoes may be used instead of
the ripe ones. This Chile sauce is excellent
and much better and more healthful than
catsup.
To Roast Chickens.—Clean the fowl well
and remove all loose pieces from the neck
and inside, them make them dry inside and
out with a clean towel. Make a dressing of
bread crumbs rubbed fine in the hands and
seasoned with salt, pepper and some melted
butter. Fill the fowls with it, tie down the
legs and wings, and put them in a baking
pan with two tablespoonfuls of water.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and flour, and
cook them in a moderate oven until they
are lender and nicely browned, turning and
basting them while cooking. Serve with
gravy.
Coen Fritters.—Grate one dozen ears of
corn upon a coarse-grater, and with a spoon
scrape the cob in order to obtain the milk
that adheres to it. Add salt, a tablespoonful
of flour, two tablespooufuls of milk, and
two beaten eggs. Drop the mixture from a
spoon into boiling fat and fry them a nice
brown. Drain them and serve very hot.
Mutton Chops with Potatoes.—Wash,
trim neatly and dry the chops and let them
lie upon a clean towel, while you mash some
potatoes, adding to them a little cream to
make them stick together. Season the chops
with salt and cayenne pepper, and cover
each one with the potato, then fry them in
butter to float them. Atiialia J aioh.
