HOUSEHOLD RECIPES. Oat Meal Blanc-Mfcnge.—Take one quart of boiling milk, slightly salted (oost 10 cents), or boiling water will do, and two heaping tablespoonfuRs of oat flour, mixed into a little cold water to form a paste (cost 4. cents), and stir in to the boiling milk, and continue to stir it twenty minutes. Turn into a mould. May be eaten either cold or warm, with sugar and cream. Total expense, fourteen cents. Dry Coating, for-Basement Walls.— The following is from Derr Tic&iicker: Take fifty pounds-pitch, thirty pounds, rosin, six pounds English red and twelve pounds brick-dust. Boil these ingredi ents and mix them thoroughly; then add about one-fourth volume of oil turpen tine, or enough to flow easily, so that a thin coating maj be laid'on with whitewash or paint brush. Walls thus treated are proof against,dampness.” Black Gingerbread.—One cup of cu gar-house molasses (Philadelphia), one cup o* sugar (brown), one cup warm water, eleven heaping tablespoons of sifted flour, teaspoon of cinnamon, ta-- blespoon of butter, one egg; mix molas ses sugar and butter well together with the warm water, then the other ingre dients, aud bake in Saratoga roll-pans. Red Hard?.—Keep some oat meal on the washstand, and as often as the bands are washed, rub a little of (lit oat meal over them; then rinse it ofl, and when dry put on a little bit of po made made as follows: Take three pen-, iiies worth of white wax, three ditto of spermaceti, three ditto of powdered camphor, and olive oil enough to make it the thickness of soap; put it in the gallipot, and let it stand in an oven to melt; mix it up, aud when cold it will be found very good for the bauds. Gloves, worn either in the day or night, will help to keep the hands white. Charlotte Russe A La France".—Take oue-filtk of a package-.of gelatine and half a cupful of cold milk; place in a farina boiler and stir gently over the fire until the gelatine is dissolved; pour into a dish and place into a cool room; take one pint of rich cream and whisk it with a tin egg-beater until it is thick; flavor the cream with either vanilla or wine, and sweeten to taste. When the gelatine is cool strain carefully into the prepared cream, line a mould with lrdy fingers; then pour the cream in carefully until it is filled, cover with lady fingers and ice the top if yon de sire to. Sour Milk Cheese. —Some time since I saw a request, for this article, 'lake milk just changed from sweet to sour aud place over the firt; when scalded so that the curd is very stringy, it is near ly done; heat a few minutes longer, then strain through a colander. As soon as cool enough remoTeto a plate; press all fhe whey out, and work in two table spoonfuls of butter and a little sail. Add considerable patience, as it will be needed before the sticky, stringy mass can bo worked fine with the hand. Press into round bails, and when cold slice with a sharp knife. Japanese Method of Cooking Rice,— A letter from Japan says: “They know how to cook rice here. Only just enough cold water is added to prevent the riee from burning to the bottom of the pot, which has a close-fitting cover, and is set on a moderate fire. The riee is steamed rather than boiled, until it is nearly done; then the cover of the pot is-taken off,the surplus steam and moist ure are allowed to escape, and the riee turns out a mass of snow white-kernels, each aeperate from the other, and as much superior to the soggy mass we usually get in the the "United Statss as a fine mealy potato is to the water soaked article.” Rich Plum Cake.—Iwo full quarts of finest flour, one pound of loaf sngar, three pounds of currants, one pound of raisins chopped, one-quarter ounce of mace and cloves, a grated nutmeg, peel of a lemon cut flue, half a pound of blanched almonds, beaten with rose or orangeflower water; mix thoroughly, then melt, two pounds of butter in rath er more than a pint of cream; to & pint- of sherry, a glass of brandy, twelve eggs, yolks and whites beaten apart, aud half a pint of yeast; strain this into the dry ingredients, beat a full hour, butter your hoop, throw in plenty of chips of citron, lemon and orange candy, ap you put in your but ter; bake moderately quick. Coffee and Egg for Sick Persons.— A medical exchange says that life can be sustained by the following when nothing else can be taken; Make a strong cup of coffee, and boiling milk as usual, only sweatening rather more take an egg, heat yold and white to gether, boil the coffee, milk and shgar together and pour it over the beaten egg in the enp yon are going to serve it in.—Boston Journal of Chemistry, Damascus Biscuits.—Beat the whites of three eggs to a froth; a quarter pound of beef suet- chopped fine, half ounce bitter almonds, blanched, chop ped fine, nil beaten well with the Take the yolks of the iju . six ounces sifted loaf su- ...on a credit of two gar, beat well, pour into the almonds, <-’ "hen tte pokSeso am i vfhite of egg; mix well; shake in two ounces of flotfr, sufficient lemon to flavor.

In a paper in Scribner for November on “The Agricultural Distress of Great Britain,” Mr. P. T. Quinn gives the re sult of personal comparison of English and American farm tools as follows: American manufactures of farm tools shape them in such a way as to do (the work with the least physical labor. The English manufacturer, on tho. other hand, has a pride in making everything substantial, heavy and solid, without any regard to the weight or strength needed. Why, there is more wood and iron in an English farm-cart than would make two American carts, and yet with their superb roads they load theirs no heavier than we do' ours. An English manure fork is of tlie same size and pattern it was a half a century ago—a square, rough tine shouldered near the point—caligng for the greatest amount of force in loading or unloading. The American fork is a round polished tine, tapering gradually from ihe point to.cho base, and calling for the least po.wer. The weight of an English plow is at least three times that of ours and its length about twice, and yet it takes neither wider nor deeper furrow-sli ces than our best plows. In fact, one pair of horses attached to one of our best pattern plows will do from a third to a half more work in the same num ber of hours than an English farmer with his long, unwieldly pattern that is out of all proportion, both in length and weight, to the work it is intended for, The same is true of the English harrows, cultivators and ail of the imple ments I found in common use for turn ing or cultivating the soil. The ordi nary wooden hand-rake is a clumsy, heavy thing, liaviLg from a third to a half more wood than is actually necessa ry. In many instances, in going through England, I have counted eight and ton hands gathering hay into win drows with these hand-rakes, an opera tion very seldom, if ever, seen now in in the United States. In many of the agricultural districts which I visited, farmers cultivating from forty to a hun dred acres of land still continue to sut their grain crops with the reaping hook and cradle. The English cradle has a scythe blade of ordinary size and length, with two short wooden fingers. The man catting with this cradle throws the cut grain around against the uncut standing grain. Another man follows ihc cradler, equipped with a piece of stick about three feet in length with an iron hook on ttie end of it, and gathers the cui grain into sheafs,and places them on the stubble before tho next swath can be cut. The American, or what is com monly called tne •‘Yankee,” cradle has a wide scythe-blade similar in size and length to the English, but instead of two short fingers it has four long ones, and the operator cuts the grain, which falls on the fingers and which is thrown into a sheaf on the stubble entirely out of the way of the next cradler who fol lows, leaving the cut grain ready to be bound, one man with ns doing the work of two in England, la talking on the subject with an intelligent farmer in Essex County, England, I had. difficul ty in convincing him that the long fingers of the “Yankee” cradle would not or could not got tangled up in the straw, nor could I induce him to send and get an Amerioan cradle, although he was complaining of the high price of farm labor when compared with the low price of farm produce. Fire-arms frequently burst when the muzzle has been accidentally closed with earth, snow, etc. Prof. Forbe’s explanation of tins fact is very simple. If the charge moved slowly a very slight pressure of the air in the barrel would be sufficient to clear the muzzle, but as the charge actually travels with a speed more than the velocity of sound, the resistance offered by the obstacle be comes excessive and the gnu bursts. It has been demonstrated mathematically that the pressure generated by a plug of density of air, is seven and a half tons. A Great sensation has been created by the charge o f plagiarism against Rev. Dr. Larimer, late of Boston. He preached a beautiful seymon, which was identified by some of the Methodist clergymen in the audience, who were in Chicago attending Conference. The sermon was solicited by a newspaper and compared with a sermon of Rev. Dr. Parker's of London, when an extra ordinary identify, for whole paragraphs was disclosed. Choeolate Pudding.—Two or three slices of bread (about a double hand ful of crumbs, or broken bits either), cover, with milk and set by in a warm place to soak for an hpur or two. Then add to this two eggs, hnlbccp su- j gar, one quart of milk, two tablespoons grated chocolate and a little sait. Bake for an hour. The eggs and sugar must be well beaten and no lumps left in the bread. Sauce for same. One cup A PRAIRIE FIRE. In an article entitled "Some Features of Kansas Farming,” in Scribner lor November, Mr Henry King gives the folio wing vivid description of that beau tiful scourge,—a fire on the praries. Next to calamities like that the home steader’s wife togS of, ; the great beset ting fear of the settlers on the border— nil in the new and thinly peopled por tions of Kansas, in fact—is the coming of the autumn prairie fire, which; so frequently menaces their stacks and cribs, their helpless stock, their stables and cabins, and even, their lives. Were it not for its kDowu danger and power of havoc,, this tempest and scourge of lire would be a spectacle of command ing force and beauty. First, -you will catcli a glimpse of- what you would take to be gray wisps of haze away off on the horizon; and watching, you will see these vagrant particles deepen gradual ly, aDd gather into the definite volume of smoke, black like a rain-clpud, and broDze about- the edges. Then the strange, somber bulk starts forward across s the. prairie, land yon hold your breath, at sight of the rapid progress of it. (A mile in two minutes is not an ex ceptionable rate of speed for a fire fairly under way.) It halts an instant, you note, over a broad swale where there is standing water; but it is for an in slant only. The next momen.fr.it reach es the upland again and the dry grass; and directly it grasps a belt of the tall, thick blue-stem, and the flame leaps suddenly and madly oi^t above the smoke, then subsides again, and the black mass grows blacker than ever, and rolls higher and higher, and you can scent the burning grass, and hear the distant roar of the fire—an awful roar, resembling the sound of artillery in heavy timber. And it is so calm im mediately about you that jqu do not so much as miss the ticking of your watch in your pocket; tliere is no breath of air 6tiring, and the sun is shining, and the heavens above yon are blue ' and placid. But thestillness will be broken soon. The oncoming cloud is only a few miles away now, and you easily trace the scarlet and terrific energy at its base; the smoke begius to hurt your eyes, too, and the heat becomes.heavily oppressive. And then, all at once, the wind smites and staggers you, that ap palling roar deafens you, and the sun is blotted out. and you are in a darjfc- ness as of midnight without- moon or star. It is an experience of but a doz en seconds or so. this sudden plunge into darkness, though it seems an hour, and when you look out again, you find the fire has passed you a mile or more to your right, and (a still rolling des perately onward; and there in its tracks are charred and smoldering stacks of liay, and an occasional house aflame aud tottering to its fall, and a group of men and boys beatiug back the outer line of the fire with brush and old clothes, and sending forward little couuterfires to meet it and if possible keep it at a safe distanse, The creek may stop it and smother it when ifr gets there, though eu,cli a hope has mere chance for a warrant: sometimes those migb ty conflagrations vault across streams twenty or thirty yardsin width, so swift is their momentum; and as a rule they are effectually stayed only when they reach a wide extent of plow ed land, and have to yield; sullenly, far lack of anything more to feed their in* esorablo fury; The Ohio Election. The Louisville Courier-Journal, com menting on the result of the Ohio elec tion, for which it was not altogether un- prepaired, having predicted Democrat- defeat, says, “This result ought to satisfy Demo crats of the folly of financial equivoca tion. It shows conclusively that the “Ohio idea,” so-called, is, and has al ways been, a delusion and a snare. Ewing was its strongest expression; Thurman its most respectable advocate. Both are retired*:. One is beaten for Governor and the other loses his seat in the Senate. It is too bad that such able and serviceable men should be sac rificed to such a blander. “Democrats have now nothing but New York to look to. If we loose New York little less than a miracle will save us. We may as well take matters as they are and consider them from a practical standpoint. We caniiot afford, to de ceive cflfrselves. The worst fears of the Courier-Journal have come 'to pass. “In the light of this great reverse wild and visionary Democrats! must see the error of their ways and make an ef fort to amend their folly. Their hopes are scattered. Their counsels have come to nought" They should go to the reir and fall into tine, ready to fol low and obey- Ail is by no means lost, •Bat all.will.be lost if Democrats cannot be brought to a sense of their danger,and comprehension and application of the strictest rules of party discipline.” Immense frauds in the United States Revenue hare been discovered in Gas ton connty, North Carolina, They were earned on by registered grain dealers j WHO IS-THE TRUE •CNTLEXAH tglrgtnl* (Rerj Obroniele.) In. the past. “I beg your pardon,” and with a Sigjle and a touch of his hat Harry Ed mond bowed to on old man agqinst whom he had accidentally had his band. “I hope I did not hurt you. We were playing too roughly.” “Not a bit !” said the old man; cheer ily. “Boys will be boys, and it’s best they sbonjd be. You didn’t harm me,” “I’m glad to hear it;” and lifting his h%t again, Harry turned to join his play mates with whom he had been frolick- at tbe time of the accident • “What do you raise your hat to that ol.l fellow for?” asked his companion— Charles Gray. “IJe’s only Giles the huckster.” “That makes no difference,” said Harry. “The question is not whether he is a gentleman, but whether I am one. ”—Moral Exchange, The present*. * ‘What kiud of is you givin’ ns?” demanded Chatlie Gray with a sueer. “It’s the true racket,” replied the no ble boy proudly. “Aw, pull down yer vest,” was the rude retort. “I’m the ganiest rooster o’ my size in the ward,” cried Harry, his blue eyes flashing with honest indignation at the implied doubt cast upon Ins motives. “See here-cully,” said Charies-Gray, tbrost>ng his hands into his tronsers pockets, spreading his legs wide apart, and closing one eye, “See here, cully ;- give os the business, Whatls yer game in doin’ the pretty by that old snoozer? None o’ yer Sudday-scliool pie now, but biz— the cheese, you know. You dont think he’s got any scuds hid aujaqr iu a sack that he’ll leave you in his will, do you? Pr’aps yell think he’s long; on, Serrey Nevady but yer off. He aint worth a short bit, and he came out o’ soak yisterdar after bein’ in for five months for petty larceny.” “Peel yer rags, Gray,” hissed Harry through his teeth, “I’m on it bigger’n a wolf, an’ yer scalp’s mine.” “Peri goes,” rejoined the wicked boy, and in a moment after, Virtue and Vice ware rolling in the dust on Howard street with all the boys in the neighbor hood gathered around, offering odds, with no takers; that the ear of Virtue wouldn’t hold out longer than the teeth of Vice. Old Giles, observing the crowd, hastened back, and quietly gath ered up the jackets and hats of his young friends, and hobbled sadly uway. Jan-na. Janina the modern capital of Epirfts which is non becoming a cauae of quar rel betweenGreece and Turkey for the second lime within three years, has been a source of disquietude' to tbe latter from time immemorial. Its formidable prominence, however, was attained about half i century asjo, when the famous Albanian chief, Ali Tebelliu, cboas it as his capital on renouncing his allegiance to the Sultan, in the hope of making E,pirus an independent State. Bat Turkish intrigues proved more than a match for him. The citadel of Junin& was surrendered treacherously, and Ali, wifii his favorite wife and a handful of followers, took refuge in his island pal ace on the lake, which he had previous ly mined with gunpowder. The man who was to fire the train,however, deceiv ed by an nssuranee that the Sultan had pardoned his master, allowed himself to be overpowered, and Ali, after a des perate resistance, in which he killed five of his assailants, was struck down and slain. His head was exposed at tlie gate of Constantinople, and Janina became a Turkish city once more. Too Late fob Reform.—‘ 4 JHe vos no poy vet you could drust,,” said Freder ick Leinmann, when a junior of the family was arrested at his instance yes terday for rifling the paternal till. The prisoner was about three feet high, and while he occupied the stand the tears streamed down his cheeks and he kept sucking both of bis thumbs in a way that was essentially lugubrious. “No,” repeated the complainant, as if to cljneh the matter, ‘-‘I know dat poy veil. You don’t can drust him,” “Well,” said the Yorkville Police Court Magistrate, “what shall I do with him—send him to jail?” “Dot’s not Tord de vile. ” “Well to nn institution, then?”, “Qh, dot’s no goot. eeder.” “But I must do one or the other.

For traveling and plain wraps the Ul ster and circular are popnlar. The more dressy mantles b#ure some new features, and repeat some old ones. Wraps are made of ecru and drab camel’s Loir cloth for carriage use and foii-evening wear; The cloth* used for fall and winter wraps are very similar to those chosen for gentlemen’s coafrs. One of the new colors of thmseasoi^ is called “amaranth.” It is a dark handsome red with popple shade. fiacqnes, coats and jackets are ngrin imported for plain wraps, while nftore dressy garments are of the variohs man tle shapes. " , New silK neckerchiefs are of the rich Persian colors, covered aM over, except a narrow border, with. closely XRoyen palm leaves. C^rff^ial red, old gold an<$ gendarme l-lue satin, softly quilted, are chosen for the linings of black satin, velvet and camel’s hair cloaks. A square of white In<^a muslin, wide ly hemmed, is worn tied carelessly around tbe neck with dresses, both in the house and street. Palm leaves are seen in some of the- new dress, materials, and are so pretty th%fr one wonders that they were ever al lowed to he tabooed. For cool mornings plain silk kerchiefs are worn in cardinal red or deep blue, and there are gay scotch plaid tartan silk squares for the same purpose. There are long 6acques that have no masculine appearance, and are richly tryiyned with new rayeled fringes, with many pows of 6atin piping. The round waists gathered into a belt, and the very full waists shirred on the shoulders and-at the waist fine, are used* for print and mummy eloth dreiggs^ New winter dress materials show the cashmere colors seen last season in the cashmere feathers, which also enter largely in the materials, used for milli nery. PoitiFiEas in Ref bigerators.—I would suggest that a piece of charcoal, to be changed occas ionally, should fee kept in a refrigera tor as a purifier. Milk, butter and all strong -fiinelling things,should kept covered, espe cially where the water from refrig erator is used for drinking. THE GENUINE DR. G.
