Ellis, formerly of Jeffer son street, of that city, was one of the victims killed in the recent St. Louis cyclone. Ellis left here three months ago, leaving behind him a wife and several small cuildron in destit ute circumstances. He was a carpenter, and told his wife ho was going to Chattanooga to get work, but she never heard from him until his death was reported to her by the keeper of the boarding liouso where ho was stopping in St. Louis. Hehad evidently intended to desert his wife and children. Dishnndonment now threatens the At lanta Zouaves, because of their inability to muster the necessary number of men. The zouaves have a large membership, THE HOUSEHOLD. For Our Housekeepers and Lady Reader*.

Com- mauder Booth-Tucker will ho in Atlanta in the fall, and tho matter will he carried into effect during his stay. At Atlanta, Tuesday, the jury in the case of W. T. Walker and others aguinat J. T. and C. W. l’opo to recover fifty acres of land in Fulton countv, that was the property of the father of the plaintiffs, brought in a verdict for the defendants. The plaintiffs alleged that It. F. Walker, as trustee, sold tho land to the Po| os and teat ho had no right to do so and sued to recover it. The Georgia Weekly Press Association will bold its tenth annual meeting in Elbertou, July IT and 15, The Georgia Woman's Press Club will meet in that city tho same date. Wednesday after noon, July 15, at 4 o’clock, the editors and ladiCB will leavo for Atlanta, whence the party will go on an excursion to the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, stopping at other points of interest en route. An important order, in the Broad will contest, was taken before Judge Lump kin in the superior court at Atlanta Tuesday, the judge overruling the excep tions to the auditor's report and dismiss ing the names of Maynard Broad and Sumate from tho bill, naming E. S. Me- Candless permanent administrator and directing a verdict for $10,750 principal and $17,625 interest against John Con ley. John Broad was a wealthy but eccentric old Englishman, who lived in Near Echols' mill,in Chattanooga county, a day or two ago, the wife of Dr. James Ballenger gave birth to a child that had four legs, four arms, four eyes und three ears. It lived a couple of houis. Savannah’s public building will he finished in Georgia marble. After a bard fight in the House to-day,Represen tative Lester persuaded a majority of his associates to vote with him to over- tide the decision of the House conferees and accept the Senate amendment to the sundry civil bill,which allows Savan nah an additional $100,000 to complete her federal bnilding in marble. A serious accident happened on 1 lie Miliedgoville road neur tho two-mile crossing of the Georgia railroad in Rich mond county Tuesday. Mrs. William Sample was driving along in a buggy when her vehicle waB run into by a run away horse with a wagon attached. Mrs. Sample had her baby with her. The vehicle was overturaed aud both thrown ont. Mrs. Semple’s collar hone was broken and the baby painfully bruised, but it is believed that neither is seriously injured. Joe Jenkins, a negro boy about 15 years old, wub instantly killed by an j electric Bhock at Atlanta Monday night. Jenkins, together with several other boys, was playing with an electric light wire on the corner of Mitchell aud Haynes streets. Two of Jenkins com panions were knocked senseless, but re covered in a short time. Every iffort was made to resuscitate the boy by physicians, who were hastily summoned, but with no effect. At the end of this month the United StateB marshal of the southern district of Georgia will receive a regular annual salary instead of being allowed fees.

The most strenu ous effortp on the part of the company have secured only 21. men for the encamp ment and,should an additional quartette not ho secured tho company will surely he disbanded. A verdict for tho plaintiff was rendered in the superior court at Atlanta Thurs day in the ease of Boone, administrator, against the American Trust aud Bank ing Company in the sum of $2,000 prin cipal, and $400 interest. Mr. Boone was appointed administrator of tho es tate of B. F. Cooper at the time that James Cooper, a former administrator on tho estate, went insane, and when he applied to the American Trust and Bank ing Company for tho funds they were $2,000 short and the bank claimed that .lames Cooper had overdrawn his ac count and owed the bank $2,000 which had been taken from his account and credited to tho amount due. Air. Boone claimed that the money did not belong to James Cooper, but belonged to the estuto of B. F. Cooper, and sued to re cover it, the jury bringing in a verdict i s above stated. The now gold chlorination plant erected at Tallapoosa under the super- vison of A. Theis, was put into full oper ation Tuesday, Juno 2, and proved a success. The first charge of sulphuretted gold ores that was run through the ehlorinalioh plant showed that practi cally all the gold was extracted from the ore, leaving hardly a trace of gold in the tailings. This demonstrates the fact beyond any question of doubt that the chorination process will work the gold ore in this district. The Royul gold mine is now in full operation and crushing forty tons of ore per day. The company lias been developing its property since last September, and has enough ore in sight for two years’ run at present crushing capacity. The general run of the quartz has averaged in rich ness far beyond what was originally an ticipated by tfie best known expert. B. I.

From Kitchen to Part or. To Preserve Pineapples. The piles of luscious-looking pineapples displayed on the fruit stalls at present may tempt many young house-keepers to try their skill with that most delicious of all con serves, a preserve of pineapples. The Sugar Loaf, Is one of the sweetest and best pine- upples for preserving. The season for this pineapple is at its height about the Fourth of July, when these delicious "pines” may often bo purchased at $1 a dozen. The best Sugar Loaf pineapples come from Havana. The choice ltipley and the Queen • Anno pineapples come from Jamaica. They are both favorite varieties. They are exceed ingly rich in flavor and sweet. Tnese fancy pines are quite small and never very cheap, selling on an average at 30 cents apieco. IIouso wives consider them superior to any other variety for (lie table because of their rich flavor. Tho most delicious wny cf preserving pineapples is in its own juice, without using one drop of water to make the syrup. I’eel carefully the requisite number of pineap ples, weigh them after they are peeled, and allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to every pound of pineapple. Put the pine apples in a huge yellow earthern bowl or in a stone crock and scatter the sugar thickly over them till it is all used. Cover them and let them stand in the sugar twenty-lour hours; a dear juice will nearly cover thorn then. Now take each pineapple and tear tho nulp oil the core, using a silver fork. Drain cl! all tire juice and sugar in the dish in which the pineapples were put, tc soak in sugar; put all this juice into u preserving kettle. Let it como to the boiling point end boil for live minutes, then skim it and strain it through a gravy strainer over the piueapplo pulp. Let tho pulp boil ud in the syrup once, then oan it immediately, ss longer boiling darkens the preserves. If you wish the syrup enn be clarified. The moat delicious way of serving a pine apple on the table is to peel It, cover it thickly with sugar, and set it away in a cool plaeo In as pretty n glass frnit dish as you possess for at least two hours. When- you are ready to serve it tear the fruit from the core with a silver fork. Housekeepers need to be reminded that picserved nine- apple is especially delicious served “vith whipped cream. A pineapple bavarian cream is one of Hie best desserts Wb have, and there is no heller water-ice or sherbet, as our New England oousins prefer to call it, than one of pineapple.

Yet when we consider that upon the statistics of the census bureau, it is estimated that nearly one-third of the families of the United Stales have an an nual income of less Ilian $400 each, and that more than half the families of "this greut and glorious country” live upon less tnan $000 each per year, it is not easy to under stand where the great extravagance is. But it Is in these very homes where the most sinful waste occurs—Binful, because the poor man can less afford to waste a dollar than his rich employer can a hundred.

To lhow persons who nre "very fond of sweets,” but do not dare to ent them, even in moderation, through fear of the harmful results supposed to follow such an indulg - ence, will find comfort in the words ol a champion of ”»ve3t things,” who writes in this earnest manner in the Helper: Tho general public lias a wrong impression us to the actual advantages ol sugar in tho human frame. Harm may bo done by eating sugrr in excess, just as the excess of anything else is pernicious lo health.

For the first timo Prof. Curtiss suc ceeded iu finding the grove of Pseudo- plui-nix'Siirgentli, on Long Key. A few young trees of this remarkable palm were found Ity him on Elliott’s Key in 1881, but were mistaken for young royal palms. Five years later he accompanied Prof. C. S. Sargent on a cruise in tho steamer Laurel, and in exploring the same key Professor Sargent was first lo catch sight of a mature and well fruited tree of the same paint, and tho fruit wits found to be wholly different from that of the royal or any other known palm. Drawings were made for Professors Sargent’s “Trees of North America,” and material for study was sent to Wendlandt, the leading authority on palms, who found it to be both speci fically and gencrloally distinct from either known species. This discovery led to the detection of quite a grove of the same palm on Long Key, which was then being converted into CQCoanut plantations,and the owner ordered its preservation, which was most fortunate, as otherwise this rem arkable tree might have been extermin ated before being brought into cultiva tion. Long Key is situated about sixty miles northeastward form Key West, and is oi very irregular from, consisting of three arms or prongs, each about two miles long. Last summer Professor Curtiss landed on this key with a dia gram furnished him by Commodore Monroe, who had succeeded in finding the palms and also in successfully trans planting one of them to Coooanut Grove; but varying a little from the right course,he failed lo find anything besides oocoanuts and mangroves. Now that he has suceed in reaching the palms, he finds that Commodore Monroe’s in structions were pretty near correot but not as simple as they might have been. If one will laud a few hundred yards oast of the southern point of Long Key, at a lirge black mangrove standing along at the water’s edge, and will then proceeded directly Inland across a nar row skirt of swamp, he will see, on emerging from the mangroves, the Pseudophmnlx directly before him, and he will behold the rarest and most un ique of North American trees, and one which as to beauiy of fruitage is per haps not excelled by any tree in the world. The trunk is short and thick, smooth and curiously variegated with alternate bands of brown and greenish gray. The crown of leaves resembles that of the date palm, and, at its base are borne gorgeous clusters of red ber ries, many of them so large that a man could hardly encirole one with his arms. The berries are about as large as average grapes, ar.d a large proportion of them are united in twos and threes. The fleshy covering of the nut is very bitter, the kernel almost as hard as Ivory. Professor Curtiss secured enough of the fruit to (111 two barrels, which he shipped from Planter, on Key Largo, to Professor Sargent, who will doubtless distribute them to ail the botanic gar dens and palm nuserics in the world. Thus the existence of the Pseudopho-- nlx is likely to be prolonged indefinitely independently of Its existence in a wild state, which is evidently preoarlous.— Times Union. In March they are in their glory, and convert Bermuda into a fairy-land of sweet odors and qucen-llke, nodding lilies. To right and to loft of you, be fore aud behind, field after field spreads its wealth of blossoms; and frequently the fields are surrounded by oleander hedges, which add tho beauty of their masses of wax-like pink blossoms. A moonlight view of these • lily-fields is a positively uncanny, unr«*4 sight, like ghosts of flowers they ijem, * n Gielr dazzling, ethereal whiteness, and the experience is one never to be forgotten. The lilies are exported In Immense quantities, and for this purpose are cut while still In bud; each bell is wrapped in moss or oolton, and then they are paoked with great care,sixty er a hund red in a box. Several thousand boxes are shipped annually, and they sell in Bermuda for two dollars a box; with a guarantee, however, that they shall ar rive in England, Canada, or the United Slates in good condition. The average stalk produces from six to eight buds; but occasionally a proud grower obtains a marvel like the one illustrated, whtoh bears seventy-two blossoms.—From “Bermuda the Beautiful,” in Demorest’a Magazine for April. A Box of Nasturtiums. Nasturtiums often do better in boxes than when planted in the border or flower-bed; and though I do not re member having seen them reoommended for winter blooming. I have tested them myself. A box oi mixed varieties wins the ad miration of all beholders; the great round lobes of leaves of a peculiar green, growing on thin, long slender stems, make it very ornamental, even without the blossoms. But now (February) buds and flowers by the dozen, scaMet and yellow predominating—large, handsome blossoms they are, too—make a study in color worthy the brush of an artist. Eaoh flower has its own graoeful stem, some eight or ten inches long; and the way they bend toward the sunlight, both foliage and bloom, is interesting and instructive, as well. Do they not say in their beautiful language, "To the light, to the light, turn ye, oh, turn ye from the darkness to the light of heaven?” More than one lesson might be learned from asimple boxof nasturtiums. There were a few old roots that showed a dis position lo sprout after the plants had helped to make the garden gay last sum mer. The foliage had died down; but instead of pulling them up and throw ing all away (as usual), I determined to see for once what a change of habitation would accomplish. They have shown themselves equal to the work set for them—ornamenting with their grace and beauty the well-worn doorway, and with a few other floral gems, giving a (oheer- ful inlook as well as outlook.—Minnie G. Mills In Womankind. Easter Lilies in Bermuda. Us. ally the first drive taken by the stranger in Bermuda is to St. George. Old stone walls, covered with flaming blossoms in the spring,separate the road from t'ny patches of Beimuda onions, and the Helds of Eister lilies for which Bermuda is becoming famous. In blnnkeis of white the lilies stretch out, too pure, too delicate, too beautiful, for adequate description The luxuriance and perfection of the lilies Is all the more surprising when it is known that not much more than ten years ago there were no Easter lilies in Bermuda worthy of mention. Usneral Hastings, whose wife is a niece of the late ex-President Hayes, began to plant them extensively about a decade ago; now they cover the island with a white robe at Eister time; and their oultiva.ion constitute* one of the principal industries of the islands. The Dahlia- The first Dahlia of which we have any authentic knowledge (Dahlia Buperflua) was discovered In Mexico by Baron Humboldt In 1789, and sent by him to the Botanical Garden at Madrid, Spain, where it was named Dahlia in honor of Andrew Dahl, a noted Swedish botanist and pupil oi the great botanist, Lin naeus. The Dahlia belongs to the natural or- derComposet. Since its discovery, the skill of florists in hybridizing has brought us many new and beautiful varieties, both single and double. All are pretty and are very useful in making up out-flower work and bouquets. They ought to be more extensively grown than they are, as they are of the easiest oulture, and there are many rich, sandy gardens lliat would make a splendid home for them; rich, sandy soil and plenty of water are the essentials to sucoess with the Dahlia. The roots are very much like sweet potato roots and should be planted here the middle or latter part of February. The tops be ing rather tender, they can be oovered up on cold frosty nights. By planting early we can have them in bloom In May,and from then till frost they should be full of blooms. It they get too tall and straggling they may be cut back rather severely. There are both tall and dwarf varieties and they can be used iu various ways, either in beds by them selves or the tall ones as center plants or background for beds and borders of smaller plants. At the north they cannot enjoy them so leng as we do, as the early frosts gen erally get them when just reaohlngtheir best. They grow very readily from cdttlDg, also increasing rapidly by division of the roots. Some grow them from seed, but it is belter to get good strong roots to start with.—A. J. Seiders, Austin, Tex as, in Horticultural Gleaner.
