After this‘ s cool add it the last thing to the folio*'"' ~?a ing: Two well beaten eggs, one cup sugar, one and one-third cups of soul cream, or two-thirds of a cup of sogr milk and two-thirds of a cup of butter, three teaspoonfuls of soda, one-half cup of raisins, one-half cup of currants, fidur enough to form a stiff batter; bake half an hour in a moderate oven. Dried apples prepared in this way can hardly be told from citron. Indeed, when well made this cake is good enough for any occasion. POTATO YEAST. I send my recipe for making potato yeast. I thought some of the readers would like to try it: Mix together two cups of cooked potatoes mashed through a sieve, one cup of sugar, and four cups of warm water. Put this in a warm place for twenty-four hours, when it ought to be foamy. It may take a longer time to sour it, but one experienced in bread-making can tell when it is ready. It is now ready to be mixed into dough. To provide a potato-ball for the next time, take one cup of mashed potatoes and one tablespoon of sugar. Mix this with a little of the foam and a little of the sediment (a tablespoon of each will do), cover closely and let stand a few hours in a warm place. Then add a teaspoon of salt, and remove to a cool place. When ready to bake again, prepare two cups of mashed potatoes, add one cup of sugar, and mix in the potato-ball. for Let stand an hour more, take out a cupful the next baking, add salt to it, and set away. To the remaining three cups add four cups of water, and let it remain over night, when it is ready to mix into the sponge. I think I have made this plain, but if not, I stand will answer York anything Witness. you don’t uadi(’ .—New HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Salt will curdle new milk; so in pre¬ paring custards or porridges the salt should not be added until the dish is pre¬ pared.

When pressing use a piece of alpaca or un¬ dressed cambric next the warm iron. If ironed when damp, and pressed till dry, table linen takes a certain stiffness which is more permanent and less subject to creases than the stiffness of starch, which is also injurious to the fabric. Lime and alkali stains may be re¬ moved from white goods by simply wash¬ ing. In the case of colored goods and silks the goods should be moistened and citric acid, much diluted, applied with the finger. WORDS OF WISDOM.

Twenty-nine years of total blindness and now old John McDonald, of Water bury, Conn., over sixty years of age, can see. ; “You will find father walking in the garden,” and attractive said his daughter, a cheerful little dressmaker, when the New York Press reporter called at the door of 3S Franklin street, where the blind man has lived for years. I A sturdy old Irish gentleman, though and gray, and with a stout cane in his hand, was descried through the foliage, walking erect and happy, with no uncertain step. “Good morning,” he cried, heartily. “Yes, I can see again. I can see the roses and the honeysuckles, my hands and my shirt, my shadow on the gravel walk and my two feet as they step out from under me. I can see your face, too. “It is just twenty-nine years now since I had my left eye removed. I was living in Prospect then. I am from Ireland, you know. All the Yankees out there in Prospect advised me to leave the doctors alone, and I wish I had now. 11 was for some sort of a cataract that my left eye was treated. Blindness is com¬ mon in my family.” , _ “But what doc to! has helpedto cure you?” “No, doctor,” he said, with disdain. “I was taken ill three weeks ago. I had terrible pains in my head back of my right eye. I did not know what I was about, whether awake or asleep. When I began to get well the other day 1 noticed that I could see my hands. Every day since then I have come to see better. My daughter Mary has written to my son in New Haven, who has a livery business there. He will come on and take me to 3ome expert physicians. But I have inde¬ no faith in doctors. I got my sight pendent of them.” Mr. McDonald’s experience has puzzled all the Waterbury physicians who have heard of it. Cases of restored sight are common when blindness has been caused by temporary inflammation, but twenty-nine recovery from an optical disease of years’ standing is an event unprecedented in medical history. Origin of “We Won’t Go Home.” An interesting history of an old and well known comic tune was given by Pro¬ fessor Ensel, a music teacher, in a speech in the Music Teachers’ Association re¬ cently. He said that when the army ol the first Napoleon was in Egypt in 1799 the camp for awhile was near the pyra¬ mids. One afternoon about sunset the band was playing. The inhabitants ol the desert had collected near and were listening to the music. Nothing un¬ natural happened until the band struck up a tune which we now hear under the name of “We Won’t Go Home Till Morning.” Instantly there were the wild¬ est demonstrations of joy among the Bedouins. They embraced each other and shouted and danced in the delirium of their pleasure. The reason was that they were listening to the favorite and oldest tune of their people. Professor Ensel then-stated that the tune had been taken to Europe from Africa in the elev¬ enth century by the Crusaders, and had lived separately in both countries foi over seven hundred years. This is cer. tainly enough to make “We Won’t Gc Home Till Morning” a classic. Its origin is more of a mystery than the source ol the Nile .—Louisville Post, Street Scenes in Damascus. The streets of Damascus are crowded from morning to night, like a town on circus day, and are a scene of hubbub and bewildering confusion, men, dogs, horses, camels and donkeys jolting against each other in careless commotion. Here you see the white Bagdad donkeys, which are a famous breed and distin¬ guished by the unusual length of theii ears. Their turbaned and bearded riders have the bearing of Kings. Among the other groups ure Bedaween of the deserl who come to the city to make purchases. The men are tall, straight aud thin, liave dark complexions and eyes, wear hearth and gay handkerchiefs about their heads. Their eyes have a fierce expression, bul they carry themselves like Lords. Tht women have straight black hair, art coarse of feature, and tattoo their faces, arms and feet. They do not keep them¬ selves closely veiled like the women ol the city.— Mail and £rprm. The Leech Business. ^z::iA^Trei^rt . , „ . ,, , the United States and a large part oi South America are handled by them.

Prior to 1839 there was no regular im¬ port trade of European leeches into this country, but sea captains were accus¬ tomed quantities to bring them in occasionally' in small on private speculation. Leechers were, therefore, obliged to depend drawing largely blood, on the during native the leech for and early part of the century the American species m considerable demand.

Cannibalism in China. The steamship City of Pekin, which recently arrived at San Francisco, brings tidings of an attempt at cannibalism at Pao Shan Ilien, near Shanghai. The proprietor of a public bath there became poescssed of the notion that to eat a child would cure him of an illness from which he was suffering. From an old woman he bought a child, which he induced a coolie to kill. The body was discovered by the authorities in a large jar, ready for cooking. All the persons connected with the crime were arrested. The vice¬ roy of Fukien and Cheinangk has issued a proclamation agaiust the drowning of female children, which has been com¬ mon of late. He notifies families that hereafter the penalty provided by law will l>c strictly enforced. The penalty is sixty blows of the bamboo and one year’s banishment. make One 1G,000 volume volumes of liquid inflammable, benzine wyi of air and 5,000 volumes of air highly explo¬ sive, but nothing but contact with flame or a white hot body will touch off the most explosive mixture of petroleum va¬ por and air.
