THE SOUTHERN WORLD, AUGUST 1,1882. 11 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. Profound and comprehensive advice given by an aged woman-hater to his nephew; “Shun the blondes, avoid the brunettes, and fly from the others 1" Prepared (or The Southern World. 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. Prepared (or the Southern World. 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.
