Harried His Own Sister.
YOUTH’S COLUMN.
/ears ago a family 'consisting of father,
rr.other and two children lived in a small
•own in Western Ohio. The head of the
family, Mr. Lawton, was a lawyer, and
speculator, and had been a merchant. He
iiad grown rich for those days—and was
noted for his keen business sagacity and
liis honest and kindly heart. His wife
had been a delicate and pretty girl when
ne married her, and after hei second
child was born her health broke down and
she became a confirmed invalid. The cou
ple had two children, a boy named Michael
who was then ‘‘baby” and was about five
years old, and a girl named Mabel. Mabel
was a pretty child, and her parents petted
.ier and dressed her in a style that made her
the envy of all mothers in the neighbor -
nood.
One day Mabel went into her mother’s
room and told her she wanted to go and
play with some other little girls who lived
on the next street. Mrs. Lawton gave her
consent, but told her to be sure to come
Home to dinner. Mabel promised, kissed
her mother gayly, and ran out of the room
-out of the world as far as the poor moth
er was concerned, for she never saw her
again. Mabel did not come home to din
ner, and at supper tune Michael was sent
after her. He soon returned with a pale,
frightened face, and told his father that his
sister had started for home at noon, and no
one knew where she was. Search was
made for her in every direction, but with
out avail. No trace of the lost one could be
discovered.
A month afterward the mother died heart
broken, and the father sold his property
and became a homeless wanderer, ■with but
one object in life—the finding of his lost
one. Taking his son with him he traveled
from State to State, visiting public institu
tions where children were cared for, and
going through cities making inquiries
which he thought might lead to the desired
result, From the United States the search
was extended to Europe, and, finally, in a
Spanish city, Mr. Lawton caught a local
fever and died in a few days, leaving his
son, then a boy of nineteen, all of his for
tune. Mr. Lawton told his l>oy that he
had no near relatives except a brother, who
had gone to California in the first flush of
the gold fever, and had never been heard of
afterward.
Michael Lawton came back to tliis coun
try, entered a college in the East, and
graduated with honor. He studied law in
the office of a famous New York lawyer,
and, after being admitted to the bar, he
went West and made his home iu a newly
settled State, where he soon built up a good
practice. One winter Lawton went to New
York to visit a college chum, Marchmont
had several young sisters, and one afternoon
Lawton was introduced to Miss Mabel Let
cher, a young lady who was their music
teacher. She was exceedingly pretty and
a lady in manner and mind, and Lawton
fell violently in love with her, and before
he left the city he asked her to marry him
and she accepted him.
They were married the following spring,
and went to Lawton’s Western home,
where they lived happily for six years, dur
ing which time two children wore born to
them. Miss Letcher told Lawton after
their engagement that she was an orphan,
that her parents died when she was a child
and she could not remember them at all.
She had been named by a kind-hearted lady
in Eastern Ohio. She had taught school and
made sufficient money to enter a school in the
East, where she studied music, and after
she hud graduated she got a class of girls
for pupils, and while thus engaged met
Lawton.
Lawt jn was sitting in his office one day,
when an odd-looking elderly man came in
and asked for “Mr. Lawton.” an introduc
tion took place, and, after the usual pre
liminaries, the stranger said he was a law
yer from San Francisco. He then asked
Lawton if he would tell him his father’s
name and where he was born. Although
surprised at the question, Lawton complied
and the stranger then explained his errand:
“You have heard your father speak, I sup
pose, of a brother who went to California
manv years ago, and who did not write
home of his doings. Weil, I am his repre
sentative, and I was Ills friend to the hour
he died. Years ago he went to (men
tioning the town where Lawton w T as born),
and there he heard of the manner in which
your little sister disappeared and of your
father’s departure, lie tried to find him
for awhile, but did not succeed, and then
he went home again.
“He made up his mind to find your sis
ter if it was possible. He employed sev
eral skillful detectives, and spent a great
<ieal of his money in the search. A year
ago he died, and in his will directed that
you should be his heir unless your sister
was discovered. In that event she was to
have half of his property. I saw your
name in the paper some weeks ago, and on
making inquiries I became convinced that
you were the nephew of the man who was
my friend, and who intrusted me with the
care of his property. And now”—here the
speaker paused for an instant—“now I
have something still more strange to tell
you. We have found a trace of your
ter.
“She was stolen by a party of vagrants
lor the clothes and trinkets she wore, and
was taken to East Ohio. She w as taken
very ill, and was left with a good-hearted
lady, who adopted her as her daughter.
After her discover}' she could not remem
ber her name or where she had lived.
When this lady died Mabel taught school
for several years, and then she went East
to study music. After sire left school, I
think she w'ent to New York, but I cannot
say. We have no trace of her for six years.
She was named after the lady who adopted
her and was known as Mabel Letcher. ”
“Known as wiiat ?” screamed Lawton.
“Mabel I re teller.”
“Great God, now she has been my w'
for six years!” It was so, indeed. Fur
ther examination sliow’ed beyond question
that Mrs. Michael Lawton was one and the
same person. They separated. Mrs. Law-
ton is still living in a town in Massachusetts
where she has been for many years. The
children are at school, and Michael Law-
ton is in his grave. He gave up all his
business, grew frightfully dissipated, and,
after spendiug nearly all the money he had
reserved for himself, he wandered to the
lovely little Maryland farm, where he
strove to bury the past, and where he lived
a life of toil. The clover blossoms are as
sweet about his grave and the wild flow
ers bloom as sw’eetly there as though he
ho sleeps in that quiet nook was at last at
rest.
He Wanted to be Loved.
Brave Ben.—“A Boy Wanted,” said
Ben, reading the notice in a bar-room
window, as he passed a comfortable-
looking country hotel. “1 wonder it I
would do for thuL place? I rnu^t do
somethink to earn some money, or how
will poor mother be able to live ? I be
lieve I’ll step in and ask about it.”
So Ben went in. It was the first time
he ever stepped over the threshold of a
bar-room door, and although the place
looked neat and clean, and there were
no loafers arou: d, yet the oilor was
sickening, and Ben’s taste revolted
irom such a plac
The proprietor was a German, a good-
natured looking man, who ofiered Ben
in payment for his services his meals,
and the various turns he could make by
holding horses a:.d making himself use-
iul to travelers. For these privileges
he was to tnrn his hand to almost any-
think connected with the hotel busi
ness. And in th ? absence of the pro
prietor he was to pour out drinks from
the glittering bottles and hand them to
any poor wretches who came in and
could pay for them.
“Well, now,” said the proprietor, af
ter giving been this account of what
would be expected of him, “you have
heard what I want you to do are you
ready to begin work?”
“Give me a few minutes to think it
over,” said Ben, “and 1 will make up
my mind one way or the other.”
“Well, you may think about it, but I
can get plenty more boys if you not
like it,” said the man, a little angry,
and speaking somewhat brokenly as he
always did at such times.
Ben said nothing, but went out to the
pump to get a drink, and then threw
himself down to think over the offer he
had received. “Whatwxmld his mother
think of her son in a bar-room?” He
would propably make money enough
to support her, but with her strong
prejudice against selling liquor would
she enjoy using ihe money made from
it? “Then,” continued Ben, “what
would God think or it? Is there not
somewhere in the Bible a curse pro
nounced on him who putteth the bottle
to his neighbor's lips and if I accus
tomed myself to sell liquor, would not
1 soon learn to drink it? No; l cannot
think of taking-such a place as that,’
and when his noble decision was made,
Ben returned to ihe tavern.
The proprietor stood on the porch
“Well, boy, what do you think of my
offer?” he inquired.
“1 think i cannot take the place,” re
plied Ban, boldly. “I want work very
much, but there are three reasons why
I cannot work for you. One is that God
would not like it, another is that my
mother would disapprove ol it, and a
third that 1 shouM be afraid of becom
ing a drunkard myself. Good morning,
sir.”
Ben walked away, leaving the Ger
man trying to get through his head
what he meant. But there was another
person who understood him perfectly.
A gentleman had driven up in a buggy
to inquire tha way to a neighboring
town, and w as so pleased with Ben’s
fearless answer ihat he overtook him
and invited him to ride, saying that he
wished to iiave a little taik with him.
Young man,” he began, “I honor you
for refusing to s.rve where liquor is
sold and on that account you will be
just the one for me. 1 want a clerk
that i can trust, and a boy who obeys
God and his mother 1 kuow*will prove
honest and faithful.” Then he named
a very generous sum he was willing to
give, and Ben wont home to his mother
that day as happy a boy as could well
be found.
Lobsters as FLailhings.—Not long ago,
in Sweden, two girls use to watch lor
an old boatman who, iu the season,
would bring, up the fiord or creek, a
whole boat-load of iobsters at, at a time.
Then the girls would beg their nurse
Johanna to let tneni play with the
queer things. Generally, leave would
be given, and the sisters would fetch
indoors w ith gre. t glee as many of the
lobsters as they w anted, and stand them
up all around their play-room, stroking
each on the head as they did so, and
thus putting it to sleep. They had to
keep a sharp e;, e on the creatures,
though, and, as soon as one threatened
to wake, or waved its terrible jaws,they
had to run and rickle it on the head,—
when it would go off to sleep again at
once!
Lizzie says it was funny to see these
play-soldiers — “marines,” she calls
them—standing up still and straight,
as though they w ere on their best be
havior at parade drill!
Before you try ibis game, be sure that
you have the right kind - of lobsters to
deal with, for it would be awkward il
they should turn on you and give you
tit for tat by “stroking” and “tickling”
you in their fasliiou with their claws.
FARM AND GARDEN.
Winter Wheat in Bleak Places,—
There are many fields of good quality
for winter w’heat growing, which;
from their elevated and exposed situa
tion, are very liable to injury by frosts,
the winds sweeping the snow' off and
leaving no protection to the plant.
The first important requisite is to make
the soil rich so as to secure a strong
and vigorous start, and a firm and deep
hold of the ground. This affords pro
tection against throwing out by heaving
effects of frost, and a full growth is a
shield against the beating winds. A
top-dress of barnyard manure is one, if
not the best, protections, for it furnish
es the best stimulant to growth as well
as a mulch to the crop, keeping the
ground loose and djy on the surface,
and it also prevents the severity of
winds and frosts from destroying the
plane. Manures may be applied before
or after seeding, but the best effects
will be seen by applying before seeding,
and let the harrow line and mix it with
the soil. When rotted mannre is not at
hand, a covering of dry straw, evenly
spread over the surface after seeding,
will be very beneficial, if winds do not
sweep it oft before rains and the grow
ing wheat have tied it to the ground.
Mulching in any way will keep more
snow on the surface, which is always a
protection against winter-killing. In a
mechanical way, much benefle is found
by drilliug in the seed, going at right
angle with the prevailing winds. The
seed being in the drill mark, the ridge
between the rows affords considerable
protection against winds and holds
snow to cover the rows. It is some
times recommended to sow with the
wheat some other grain, as buckwheat,
oats or barley, that will kill down by
frosts and mulch the wheat but such
will choke the wheat and prevent
growth so as to do more injury than
good. Something may be gained by
sowing the most hardy and strong
growing variety. The Clawson has
pro' e 1 to be the most hardy, as well as
prolific, variety cultivated in many
years. Many varieties of red wheat
are also hardy, usually more so than the
white and prolific. The Fultz is a har
dy red wheat and prolific. The old
Mediterranean and the Russian blue-
stem are also hardy, but not so prolific.
The best variety to cultivate can only
be learned by experience or observa
tion, for no one variety will be best
adapted to different soils and climates.
THE HOUSEHOLD.
Fruit Syrups.—For cherry syrups
only the dark red sour cherries should
be used, and for raspberry syrups the
red berries, as they contain the most
juice and have the ilchest flavor. All
fleshy and juicy fruits contain pectin,
which substance causes the fresh juices
to be slimy and to gelatinize if boiled
with sugar, and afterwards cooled.
When a syrup made of fruit juice con
tains some of this pectin, it is certain
soon to mould and to spoil; therefore
the fruit jnices have to be freed first
from the pectin before they are made
into syrups. The pectin has to be de
composed, and this is done by fermen
tation. The iruits are first crushed
and set aside for three or four days iu
an earthen j r, the mass being stirred
once a day with a wooden spatula. The
juice is now pressed out and set aside
again for a few days, until fermenta
tion is completed and the juice appears
clear. In order to detect any undecom
posed pectin, a little of the juice is
mixed with a concentrated solution
of magnesium sulph te, when, if any
pectin is present," it will congeal or
gelatinize, or a flucculent precipitate
will separate. The juice, mixed with
twice its volume of niuely per cent,
alcohol, should form a clear solution.
The juice is then filtered through pa
per. If to the crushed fruit two per
cent, of sugar is added, fermentau u
will go ou more promptly, and the fer
mented juice will filter more rapidly.
In five parts of this filtered juice nine
parts of the best white sugar is dis
solved by the aid of heat, the tempera
ture is raised to the boiling point, and
the solution strained while hot. No
iron vessel should be used. The vessel
containing the syrups is set aside in a
cool place for a day. The syrup is now
filtered into perfectly dry bottles of
convenient size; the bottles are ti htly
corked and laid on a shelf In the cellar.
The syrups thus prepared will kee[
for one or two years.
Destroying the Canada Thistle.—
Some farmers are giving their experi
ence on the destruction of the Canada
thistle. One has tried this method,
another a different method, and a third
something else, all more or less success
ful; but the truth is there is nothing
like thorough cultivation to get rid of
this the vilest peat any farmer can be
cursed with, in commencing opera
tions against the enemy, the determin
ation should be to be victorious and
leave no artifice or device untried to
gain it; and this is, as we say, thorough
cultivation, and a wholesale and retail
exterminatiou of the thistle. The bat
tle should begin before the pest makes
its appearance, and after it makes its
appearance, and as often a» it makes its
appearance. Successive crops of corn
followed by barley and wheat, will do
the business for it in case there was a'
thistle left after the corn is harvested.
No fence corner should be allowed to
harbor one thistle. It should be fer
reted out wherever it shows its prickly
head, arter which there will be none
to kill if one can induce the neighbors
treat it in the same way, likely to do
after they witness your success.
Don't Care.—“I am sorry to see my
son give away to anger,” said the pa
tient mother.
“I don’t care,” replied the passionate
child.
“Y'ou will become an ignorant man
unless you study better,” said the faith
ful teacher.
“I don’t care,” he muttered under
his breath.
“Those boys aie not the right sort of
companions for yon,” said the pastor.
“J don’t care,” he answered, turning
on his heels.
“It is dangerous to taste wiue,” said
his friend warmingly.
“I don’t care,” was his obstinate re
ply.
A few years later he was a worthless
drunkard, plunging into every sort of
excess, and finally ending a miserable
life of crime without hope.
“I don’t car” w as his ruin, as it is
the ruin of thousands. Look out for it,
boys and girls. Keep away from it.
Don’t let it find a place in your hearts,
or pass your lips. Always care. Care
to do right, and care when you have
done wrong.
A wee friend oi ours thinks herself
quite as smart as her brother, though
she has seen but her fifth winter, while
he is passing through his eighth. He
is doing his “first lessons” as “prima
ry,” and the other day returned from
school not a little puffed up with
knowledge, “Marion.” he asked, in
that style which a big brother assumes
when patronizing a little sister, “Ma
rion, do you know that the earth turns
round?” “Ot tos, I does,” answered
Marion, resenting tne imputation of ig
norance; “that’s ihe reason 1 tumbles
out of bed.”
Fruit from Barren Trees.—I wish
to describe to you a method of making
fruit tree3 bear, that 1 blundered on.
Some fifteen years ago I had a small
apple tree that leaned considerably. I
drove a steak beside it, tied a string to
a limb, and fastened it to the stake.
The next year that limb blossomed full,
and not another blossom appeared on
the tree, and, as Tom Bunker said, “It
set me to thinking,” and I came to the
conclusion that the string was so tight
that it prevented the sap returning to
the roots; conseqvently it formed fruit
buds. Having a couple of pear tre«s.
that were large enough to bear but had
never blossomed, I took a coarse twine
and wound it several times around the
tree above the cord blossomed as white
as snow, and there was not one blossom
ed below' where the cord was tied. I
have since tried the experiment on sev
eral trees, with the same result. I
think it is a much better way than cut
ting off the roots In early summer,
say June or July, wind a strong twine
around the tree* or a single limb, and
tie it, the tighter the better, and you
will be blessed with the result; the
next winter or spring the cord may be
taken off'.
Tree Planting in Door Yards.—It
is a mistake to plant trees which grow'
naturally to a large size, near a house;
and in an artistic point of*view, the
force of the remark is very evident.
The trees when grown should be in
proportton to the size of the yard, and
if that be small, the trees should be se
ated accordingly. There are a num
ber of evergreens such as varieties of
the spruces and others of small to me
dium stature, most appropriate to small
yards; they are comfortable in winter
as a wind break, and are handsome all
the year round.
Calves.—When calves come as twins,
and one is a bull while the other is a
heifer, it is the best policy to get rid cf
the heifer, as veal or otherwise. She
tfill never be likely to have a calf of
her own. This only it her twin is a
bull calf.
Pear Ttees.—"Wood ashes makes an
excellent fertilizer for pear trees.
Mixed coal and wood ashes may also be
applied with advantage. Ground bones
are better for fruit trees of all kinds
than fermenting manure.
A Curious Industry.
Pantry.—“The pantry shelves are
getting griuimy,or finger-marks around
the door-latches and knobs are looking
dark and unsightly. For lack of time
they are left day after day, for it is hard
work to scour all the time, and it wears
the paint, too. Now' suppose the
housewife has her bottle of spirits of
ammonia to use; she takes a basin of
water and a clean cloth, just puts on a
few’ drops of the fluid and wipes off all
the dirt; it is worth more than a half
day’s labor, and does not hurt the paint
either. She could put a few drops in
her dish water, and see how easily the
dishes are cleaned ; a few’ drops would
clean all the window's in the sitting
room, making them shine like crystal.
It would take tlie stains off the tea
spoons, and a teaspoonful in the mop
pail w ill do more in washing up the
kitchen than ten pounds of elbow
grease applied to the mop handle. A
housewife has just as much right to
make her work easy and expeditious as
her husband has. If she Goes not do
it, the fault is her own in a great meas
ure.
Proper Way to Cook Eggs.—Butter
a tin plate and break in your eggs; set
in a steamer; place over a kettle of
boiling water and steam until the
whites are cooked. They are more or
namental w'hen broken into patty tins,
as they keep their form better. Tne
w’hites of the eggs, when cooked in this
manner, are tender and light, and not
tough and leathery, as it cooked by any
other process; they can be eaten by in
valids, and they certainly are very
much richer than any other method.
If cooked in the shell, they taste of the
lime contained in them: and if broken
into boiling water, it destroys their
flavor.
Chow-Chow.—One peck green toma
toes chopped fine; spinkle one cup of
salt over them and let stand over night;
in the morning drain in a colander, add
eight green pepp rs chopped fine, oue
cup of white sugar, cover with vinegar
and boil twenty minutes. Chop fine
six laige onions; tw'O bunches—the
white part—of celery, with three or
four red peppers. Add to the other in
gredients, when cool and drained, a cup
of mixed mustard, whatever spice you
like and a pint of grated horse-radish.
Put into a stone jar, cover with cold
vinegar and tie down tightly.
WIT AND HUMOR.

in. In answer to an advertisement, the
advertiser invited him to take a seat,
which he did.

Inebriated churchwarden (evidently
misunderstanding)—Can’t shtand, I

William (the father of Frederick the
Great) was two-thirds crazy. This benign
monarch, who greatly endeared himself to
Ills subjects by kicking and cuffing them,
was walking in the streets one day, when a
quiet and timid citizen, seeing him approach,
fled in terror.
The king followed the fugitive, and at
last overtook him and grasped him by the
collar.
“Why do you run ay ay ?” he demanded.
“Your Majesty, I was afraid of you,”
was the reply.
“Afraid of me, you scoundrel!” replied
the king, at the same time making it very
lively for the citizen, with the royal cane,
“don’t you know (whack, wiiack, whack,)
that I want to be loved, not feared ?”
Down on a Fly.
An old man living on Fort street,
east, was observed tacking an old
fish-net over the open front door, and
among the number of curious minded
was a pedestrian Who asked :
“Are you putting that up for a fly-
screen?”
“That’s just it,” was the reply.
“I don’t see how it will keep ’em
out.”
“Well, 1 hardly don’t see myself,”
said the old man as he stood back for a
look, “but I’ve made up mind that no
durned fly in this town shall come into
this house on a straight line!”
A “Happy Family.”
The other evening at 9 o’clock a * police
man found a family of five persons and two
old trunks under a shed near the loot of
Second street, wailing to go up the river on
a wood barire which wouldn’t leave until the
next fomoon. The man had both hands
pressed to his face, the woman was wiping
lrer eyes on a handkercliief, and all the
children were squalling
What seems to be the matter?” inquir
ed the officer, as he halted amoug them.
“Oh nothing much,” answered the man.
“I’ve got the jumpin’toothache, but it alius
slacks up on me about midnight.”
'“What ails your wife?”
‘‘Oh, she’s kinder tired out and nervous,
but as soon as she gets a good rest for her
back agin the wood-pile she'll so to sleep
and forget all about it. She’s all right, she
is.”
“But the children are crying,” continued
the officer.
“Yaas, kinder crying,” replied the man,
“but that’t nothing. Augustus Cresar wants
a stick of gum, but he'll soon chaw him
self to sleep on a silver. The next one
Charles Henry, he’s howlin' ‘cause I won’t
buy him a rockin’-liorse, but soon’s I get
time to spank him he'll curl down and go a

got her mouthmade up for fried cakes and
milk, but I’ll give her a hit o’ pork and
bread from the trunk and she’ll never know
the difference. We are kinder sprawled
out here, and we seem to he kinder afflicted
but we are a reg’lar happy family.”
Is it possible that a remedy made o
uch common, simple plants as Hops
Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, <fcc.,
make so many and snch marvelous anti
w onderful cures as Hop Bitters do? It
must be, for w hen old and young, rich
and poor, Fastor and Doctor, Lawyer
and Editor, all testify to having been
cured by them, we must believe and
doubt no longer. See other column.
The principal industry ©f the town of
West Falmouth, Mass., is tying business
taffs with bits of strings, by which the tags
may be attached to articles which require to
be labeled. A correspondent writing from
that village says: “These tags are cut
elsewhere aud sent in bulk to West Fal
mouth. The string is also sent in skeins.
The business here is to cut the string
suitable lengths, tie one into each tag and
return it t the manufacturer in Boston.
This sounds simple enough and small
enough, and yet it furnishes oceupati >n to
between three hundred and four hundred
persons, and involves an elaborate system
of book keeping. The business has been
carried on by a woman for the last twenty
years. The orders which were one* pu
in a bushel basket now require large freight
boxes, amount to an aggregate of forty
millions of tags in a year. The little pink
strings are reeled off and cut in given lengths
and bunches, each bunch having 101 strings.
These strings are given out by the’1010, to
gether witha corresponding number of tags,
to people coming to the office for them, and
are paid for at the rate of twelve to seven
teen cents a thousand. Young children tie
with their mothers, and eveil old men, and
it is the great source of pin money in the
community. ”
The Influence of Climate
The influenc of cHmate upon a constitution
subjected to a trying change in atmospheric
conditions, in wat«r. aud in food, is often
marked and disastrous. Disorders of the
bowels and of th - liver, frequently termina
ting fatally, are prone to attack the tourist by
land or voyager by sea in unaccustomed lati
tudes—more particularly those near the equa
tor. The best medicinal protection against
irregularities of the bowels, stomach and liver,
not only from the above, but whatever cause
arising, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, _a
mediciue in wide and increasing demand in
sol try portions of this hemisphere, and also in
the tropics. Travelers, emigrants, dwellers,
and temporary sojourners in malarious dis
tricts use it very extensively u a safeguard.
Pickle Cucumbers.—Gather
every day. Place in some weak brine
overnight. In the raofnlng putina
porcelain kettle, with a small oit ol
alum. Cover with good cider vinegar.
Let them stand on the stove long
enough to get heated through. Put in
stone or glass jars and seal tightly
while hot. Put up in this way they
are as good and fresh as whengatkered
from the vines. We have used this
recipe for years, and never failed once.
Try it. ^
A Delicious Vegetable Soup.—Fry
two turnips, two carrots and two onions
in a little butter; well wash a pint of
lentils, and boil them with the turnips,
carrots and onions in a quart of water
till perfectly tender, then add a pint ol
water and rub through a sieve; add
pepper, salt and a spoonful of mush-
roon ketchup, aiso a small lump ol
sugar, about half the size of a wilnut.
Boil a quarter of an hour, and serve
with or without rice.
Brattleboro Fricasse.—Take two
chickens, cut them up neatly, and lay
them in a skillet with two slices of
thin-cut ham, two small ODions, and a
tew blades of mace, seasoning with
pepper and salt. Add a little water, and
put on a quick lire. When about hall
done, add a pint of cream, aud a lump
ol butter the size ol a walnut, rolled
flour. Keep constantly stirriug until
done.
Babies ought to be well taken care
of; their system does not allow the
slightest neglect. 11 your Baby suffers
from Colic or Bowel Disorders, procure
a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup, a
simple but always reliable remedy.
Ouly 25 cents.
Mixed Pickles.—Soak small onions
and cucumbers in salt and water teu
day3 (one pint of alum salt to one-half
bushel of pickles); cabbage, cauliflower
and string beans, twenty-four hours in
the brine. To four gallons ol the b*st
vinegar put one of sprup or molasses,
one red pepper, spices and mustard
seed, if you like; scald all together, and
pour on the pickles while hot, rinse the
pickles after the brine. They will
keep the year rou^d.
SERVANT-Girl (to fortune-teller)—
Mme. Cagliostro, I want you to tell
me my forture. “How much’ll it be?”
Mme.'Cagliostro—“Four francs.” S.-
G.—“Four Irancs? Oh, I’m a regular
customer; you’ve never charged me
more’n two fanes.” Mme. C.—“Two
francs was for lifting the veil of the
future, but I always charge four for
searching its depths to their uttermost
recesses.” S -G —“I’ll give you three
Irancs—three and a half.” Mme. C.—
Impossible, rash girl! Not one cen
time less than four! The fates cannot
afford it—they can’t be expected to run
the future at* a dead loss out of their
own pockets just for your accommoda
tion.”

Corns are a nuisance on any part of
the foot, but are especially so on the
bottom. In this latter case relief is af
forded by wearing a cardboard sole
under the foot with a hole in it where
the corn rests. This can only be done
of coarse, by people who wear loose-
fitting shoes.
Indian Custard.—Heat two quarts
of milk, then stir in one cup of molas
ses, a small cup of fine corn meal, two
beaten eggs and a little salt. Cook
slowly one hour. If it seems too thick,
thin it with a little cold water.
