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, I :Vthc stoVe ’ P ut : borne. Repeat once or twice if neces 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 number of whites nihv in Alaska TeiWy is stated and the 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. Florida estimates say, that 00,000 tourists left £0,000,000 there during the season.
