HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Clean Baers.
Great care should always be used in
cleansing and doing up expensive lace
or fine embroidery, so as not to break
the meshes or threads in the work. They
must never be rubbed, but patted in the
hands. This will take out the soiled
places. Then put into nn earthen dish
and pour boiling hot water over them.
Let them stand till -cool, then rinse in
clear or blued water, if they'ire white;
if the yellow tint is desired, a little
strong coffee put into the rinsing water
will give the right shade. Laces should
never be starched very stiff; it spoils
their beauty and makes them look un
graceful and old. The figures must be
picked out smooth; then spread on a
clean white flannel and press with a cool
iron. Laces treated in this way will
preserve their beauty until entirely used
up' by old age.
How to Can Reef.
Beef may be canned in the following
manner: The meat is cooked by roast
ing, baking, or boiling, and either fresh
or corned. When well cooked it is out
into suitable pieces and packed firmly in
the cans, without the head-, so that the
contents can be made solid and till the
can completely. The covers arc then
soldered on and the cans are put into a
boiler with a solution of chloride of lime, ;
which boils at a much higher heat than
water, or in water under pressure. This
produces a heat which destroys all germs
of decomposition and leaves the meat in
such a condition that it will remain un- :
changed as long as air is excluded from
the cans. For domestic use meat of any
kind may be canned or preserved by cook
ing it thoroughly, cutting it up free
from bone and pressing it while hot in
glass cans and then pouring hot melted
lard or tallow* to ft 11 the bottles. The
bottles are immediately sealed. Meat
thus put up will keep a longtime. This
is a good way to put up sausage-meat
and game when it is plentiful.— New
York Times.
Bright Hints.
* Jewelry can be made to look like now
by w*asliing in ammonia and water or
alcohol, then rub and dry, polishing
with prepared chalk applied with flannel
or chamois skin. Silverware fo he kept
blight should never be washed in soap
suds; clear water is best. To prevent
articles from tarn’shing. warm them and
apply with a soft brush a thin solution
of collodium in alcohol. Thu ware can
be brightened by rubbing with a flannel
or chamois skin dipped in whiting or
chalk, then with a newspaper. Brass
can be cleaned by scouring with ashes
and soapsuds and afterward with vinegar
mixed with salt heated to a boiling point,
then dry thoroughly and brighten with
a newspaper. Lime free from grit mixed
with alcohol applied with leather will
give a beautiful polish to steel. To give
stoves a good lustre add either alum or
sugar to good polish. Tin pans can be
prevented from rusting by heating them
and rubbing well with linseed oil aud
heating again. Wood ashes or whiting
(which is better) mixed with kerosene
will brighten them. —Detroit Free Press.
Some Simple Remedies.
For a sore throat cut slices of fat,
boneless bacon, pepper thickly, and tie
around the throat, with a flan Del cloth.
When stung by a'bcc or wasp, make a
paste of common earth and water, put
on the place at once aud cover with a
cloth. For a cold on the chest a flannel
rag wrung cut in boiling water and
sprinkled with turpentine, laid on the
chest, gives the greatest relief. Wlifln
a felon first begins to make its appear
ance, take a lemon, cut oil one end, put
the finger in aud the longer it is kept
there the better. For a cough, boil one
ounce of flaxseed in a pint of water,
strain and aid a little honey, one ounce
of rock candy, and the juice of three
lemons; mix and boil well. Drink as
hot as possible. Often after cooking a
meal a person will feel tired and have
no appetite. For this beat a raw egg
until light, stir in a little milk an sugar
and season with nutmeg. Drink half an
hour before eating. For a burn or scald
.make a pasto of common baking soda
and water, apply at once and cover with
a linen cloth. When the skin is broken
apply the white of an egg with a feather;
this gives instant relief, as it keeps the
air from the flesh. At the first signs of
a run-round, take a cup of wood ashes,
_nut in a pan with a quart of cold water,

sary. — Good Housekeeping.
Recipes.
Dei. mors Rick Pudding. —Wash and
pick a cupful of rice; put into a pudding
mold with one quart of milk; steam for
two hours. Eat with cream and sugar.
Boston Brown Bread Steamed.—
Cut into slices a loaf of stale Boston
brown bread. Put a kettle of hot water
on the range. On it place the steamer,
put the slices in it, cover and steam fif
teen minutes. When done butter quickly
and serve on a hot plate.
Baked Cheese. —Take one cup and a
half of finely chopped or grated cheese,
add half a cup of bread crumbs, one cup
ful of milk, one egg, beaten light, a lit
tle red pepper and salt to taste. Put it
in a buttered dish and bake fifteen
minutes in a quick oveu. This is a good
way to use the last of a piece of cheese,
when it becomes too dry to be nice
alone.
Penrith Pudding. —Cut thin slices of
bread and butter, spread them with
stewed cranberries. Make a custard by
mixing one pint of milk with tw*o well
beaten eggs and four tablepoonfuls of
sugar. If this ig not enough to cover the
bread and butter double the quantity.
Bake until the custard is set. This is a
good w*ay to use stale bread. Herve the
pudding cold.
Sweet Potatoes Sauce. —This is a
very line way of utilizing left over
sweet potatoes: Fry a slice of onion in
a pan; then remove it. . Cut up two
boiled sweet potato? into slices, then
into dice, and fry them lightly in the
pan. Shape them as you would an ome
let, add salt and pepper and a little
chopped parsley, and turn out on a hot
dish. The onion flavor removes the pe
culiar flavor of the cold potatoes without
its own flavor being recognized. If the
onion is not objected to it can remain
and be mixed with the potatoes.
Kidney Beans in Gravy.— The red
kidney bean, which is called the French
bean by some dealers, is a very nutri
tious and wholesome vegetable, and may
he cooked as our ordinary white bean,
but with a gravy it is more desirable, as
it may be served at almost any meal.
Put in the frying pan an ounce of but
ter, half a tea<poonful of dry flour, and
a teaspoonful of minced onion; brown
slightly, and add half a put of beef
gravy or rich soup stock; add the neces
sary salt and pepper. Now add a quart
of cold boiled beans; simmer long
enough to heat them thoroughly: add a
squeeze of lemon juice, and ilioy aro
ready for the table. If the beans aro
very dry they should be soaked and
boiled before lining them.
Pukk a la Reink. —Boil a fowl in two
quarts of water until tender; add two
sprigs of parsley, a leaf or two of soup
celery, a quarter of an onion, one young
cairot, salt and six whole peppers; sim
mer slowly and add more water as the
quantity in the saucepan evaporates.
Remove the fowl when done. When
told, skin and cut up the meat. Soak a
quarter of a loaf of home-made bread
and chicken together. Skim aud strain
the broth; place it on the range, but do
not let it boil. Now rub the pasta
through a fine sieve, add it to the broth,
whisk into it half a pint of lukewarm
cream, and a teaspoon ful of flour. Some
of the chicken pulp may be rolled into
little halls and served with the soup.
According to the traditions of the kitchen
this soup owes its name to no less a per
sonage than the wife of Henry IV.,
Margaret of Valois, who was said to be
very fond of it. Ala Rcine is a term
applied to dishes prepared according to
the Queen’s instructions, or that which
is especially the food of her Majesty.
A Farmer’s Singular Death.
A farmer named Pius Bean, living
near Concordia, Kan., suffered death in
a singular manner. He had a feed
grinder run by a windmill, and, having
occasion to climb above the grinder, the
shaft, which was turning at the time,
caught his clothes and, in spite of the
man’s efforts, his stout coat and trousers
were wouud around the iron bars. He
called to his employes to cut him down,
but they could not reach him. It was a
fearful squeeze. The sufferer’s face
grew purple, his eyes bulged, and the
veins stood out. At last the mill could
wind no further and stopped, but too
late. The last breath had been squeezed
out of its victim, and he hung lifeless.

The Funereal Month of March.
An observant metropolitan barber says that
he tn tell one’s physical condition by tho
state of his hair!
The Bible tells us that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans con
sidered baldness a serious affliction and Julius
Cesar was never quite satisUe l with himself
because his poll was bore.
The face, however, is the open book, and
one can readily trace in its various expres
sions, lines, changes and complexion the state
of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has a pallid brightness, the face upon whose
cheeks nature paints a rose of singular beauty
and flush, more marked in contrast with the
alabaster appearance of \ho forehead and
nose and lower part of the face, is one of
those whom the skilled physician will tell you
will some day dread the funereal month of
March, because it is then that consumption
reaps its richest harvest. Consumption they
tell us is caused by this, that and the other
thing, by microbes in the air, by micro-organ
isms in the blood, by deficient nutrition, by a
thousand aud ono things, but whatever the
cause, decay begins with a cough and the
remedy that will effectually stop the cause of
that cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of a wasting. To
stop it effectually, a remedy must be used
that will search out the cause, remove that
and then heal the lung and do away with the
cough. This is tho power, special to itself,
possessed alone by Warner’s Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption remedy. This is no new
fangled notion of narcotics and poisons, but
an old-fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots ami herbs, such as was used by our
ancestors many years ago, the formula of
which has been secured exclusively by the
present manufacturers at great trouble and
expense. It is not n mere cold dryer. It is a
system-searcher and upbuilder and a con
sumption expellant. Where others fail, it
wins, because it gets at the constitutional
cause and removes it from tho system.
J. W. Hensaw, of Greensboro, P.,on Jan.
15, 1888, reported that " ne had derived more
real benefit for the length of time, from
Warner’s Log Cabin Cough and Consump
tion remedy than he had for years from the
best state physicians.”
If you have a cough, night sweats, “ posi
tive assurance in your own mind that you,
oh—you, have no consumption,” and yet lose
flesh, appetite, courage, as your lungs waste
awny.you may know that soon the funereal
month of March will claim you, unless
promptly and faithfully you use the article
named. If other remedies have failed try
this one thoroughly. If others are offered,
insist the more on trying this unequaled
preparation.
Home persons are prone to consumption,
and they should never allow the disease to be
come seated.
Tt lias just been discovered that to en
able one to penetrate thick, smoky places,
the mouth and lips should be covered
with cotton wool.
The Five listers.
There were five fair sisters, and each had an
aim—
Flora would fain be a fashionable dame:
Scholarly Susan’s selection was books;
t 'ojuettish Cora cared more for good looks;
Anna, ambitious, aspired after wealth;
Sensible Sarah sought first for good health.
So she took Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery and grew healthy and blooming. Cora’s
beauty quickly faded; Susan’s eyesight failed
front over-study; Flora became nevousand
fretful in striving after fashion and a sickly
family kept Anna’s husband poor. But sensi
ble Sarali grew daily more healthy, charming
and intelligent, and she married rich.
