HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Hint to the Housewife.
At this season of the year stewed
apples, pears and plums are favorite ar¬
ticles of diet. For breakfast or luncheon,
in the dining-room or ,in the nursery,
there are few table dishes more whole¬
some and more delicious than well
stewed fruit served up with cream or
custard. There are many persons, how¬
ever, who cannot eat it, on account
either of the acidity of the fruit or the
excess of sugar necessary to make it pala¬
table. Sugar does not, of course, coun¬
teract acidity; it only disguises it, and
its use in large quantities is calculated to
retard digestion. The housewife may,
therefore, be grateful for the reminder
that a pinch—a soda, very sprinkled small pinch—of the
carbonate of over
fruit previously to cooking, will save
sugar, and will render the dish at once
more palatable and more wholesome.—

Mutton Suet as a Household Remedy
It is very vexing and annoying, in¬
deed, to have one’s lips break out with
cold sores, but, like the measles, it is far
better to strike cut than to strike in. A
drop the of warm night, mutton suet applied retiring, to
sores at iust before
will soon cause them to disappear. This
is also an excellent remedy for parched
lips aud chapped hands. It should be
applied at night in the liquid state, and
well rubbed and heated in before a brisk
fire, which often causes a smarting
sensation, but the roughest of hands, by
this treatment, will often be restored to
their natural condition by one applica¬
tion. If every one could but know the
healing properties of so simple a thing
as a little mutton suet, no housekeeper
would ever be without it. Get a little
from your butcher, try it out yourself,
run into small cakes and put away ready
for use. For cuts and bruises it is
children almost indispensible, and where there are
always there are plenty of cuts
and bruises. Many a deep gash that
would have frightened most women into

no other remedies than a
little mutton suet and plenty of good
castile soap. A wound should always bo

suet. time Benew the the bandages drenching and changed, the suet

when there should bo about a pint of

sweet cream about five minutes before

farmers’ wives are very unwise
in not using more cream in cooking. It
is cheaper and more wholesome than
butter.
Chicken Salad Without Oil.—
Mince fine the white meat of cold,boiled
chicken, take one and a half times as
much celery in bulk, having cut in
pieces dressing a quarter of an inch loug; pre¬
pare a of three eggs beaten light,
one-fourth each of cup melted butter, one-half
cup cream aud vinegar, a half
tablespoon with each of made mustard and
sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well and put in a di h over boiling
water, stirring constantly till it thickens
like custard. Pour it over the salad
when cold, and only a short time before
using.
New Way to Cook Mutton. —Put
the leg of mutton in an uncovered stew
pan with a wine-glass of water on a brisk
fire. When the water has evaporated
and the mutton is a good color pour over
it a onion, wine-glassful bay of leaves, stock,seasoning three sprigs with of
an two
parsley, a little thyme, salt, pepper and
other spices to taste. Cover the stew
pan and let the contents simmer until
the muttou is done, Before serving
strain the gravy, mix with it half a p!nt
of cream and set it on the fire. Lot it
boil up once and thicken it with two
yolks of eggs. Dish the mutton: pour
the sauce over it and serve.
Beef Fritters. —One pound of cold
roast beef, ten ounces of hour, one tea¬
cupful of water, two ounces of butter,
two eggs (the whites), pepper and salt,
beef dripping. Shred the beef as finely
as possible, and season to taste with pep¬
per and salt; make a smooth batter with
the flour and water, blending them well
together, and stirring in the butter
(which should first be melted); whisk
the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth,
and add them to the batter, and lastly
put in the beef. Stir all well together,
and have some beef dripping boiling
hot in a pan. Fry the fritters in this,
but do not drop too much of the batter
in at one time, as it reduces the tempera¬
ture of the fat, which in trying should
never be allowed to get below the boiling
point. drain Fry to a nice brown, and when
done well and serve on a folded
napkin.
Two Men Outpull Two Horses.
Quite a novel contest was decided at
Bright, last Friday, in Dearborn county, Indiana,
says a recent issue of the
Cincinnati Enquirer . 'William Llddie, a
merchant, and Jessie Crim, a blacksmith
of the village, offered to wager $25 that
they could outpull any two horses in the
township. Steve Cook, a farmer, who
possessed a fine team, and believed they
could- outpull anything from a porous
plaster to a steam engine, accepted the
bet, and Friday afternoon, in the pres¬
ence of a concourse of ne’ghbors and
friends of the respective contestants, the
trial of strength was made. Liddle and
Crim lay flat on their backs with their
feet firmly braced against an immovable
structure arranged lor the purpose, and
with iheir heads pointing f- om the horses
that were hitched a distance of forty feet
away to a piece of timber held firmly in
the hands of the prostrate men. The
test to be decided by the horses, either
pulling the timber from the hands oi' the
men, or else pulling them from the
ground to their feet, three tr.a’s and
three minutes’ steady pulling each trial
the extent of the contest, while the ex¬
cited farmers and villagers crowded
around the parties to witness this singu¬
lar feat of strength and end.irencc.
The horses two different times were
distented whipped into pulling their best, but with
muscles and swelling veins
that told of the terrific strain upon them
the prostrate men held the horses to their
position. At the third trial the excited
farmer lashed his horses to force them to
their utmost, when by a sudden jerk the
timber in the hands of the resisting
men, and to which the horses were
hitched, snapped in two pieces, the end
of it broke, one piece rendering striking Crim in the side as
him unconscious foi
nearly an hour. He was supposed to be
dead, but finally recovered, and is out of
all danger of serious results from the
blow.
Auriferous Geese.
A remarkable discovery was made by
Patrick Casey, of Lancsboro, Minn.,
recently. He lives near the river, and
keeps a flock of geese. Killing one of
the flock, a peculiar metal was found
in its crop in small particles, inclined
to be flaky. His curiosity led him to
slaughter another goose, the crop of
which contained about the same quantity
of the same metal. About a teaspoonful
was taken from the crops of two geese.
The mineral was tested by a jeweler,
who pronounced it gold. The geese are
most of the time in the river, which is
very shal ow, or on the gravelly bank
near a spring, about which is much
gravel, the accumulation of ages. — Globe

Albert Steele, a music hall singer, who
had been in the business for thirty years,
and was a utility man when Irving and
Toole were serving in the same capacity,
was a witness a short time ago in a court

recounting his experience on the stage,
he fell in a fit and died.
A Valuable Opinion.
Mr W. H. Warner spends annually in
advertising wliat would be a large fortune
to almost any man. He said that he re¬
garded the weekly paper as the surest to
repay judicious expenditure, of all classes
of newspaper publications. “I would
rather have a hundred thousand weekly
circulation,” said he, “than 250,000 daily.
The readers of a daily paper rarely read
it through. It is glanced over. The
salient points of news are indicated by
big Then headlines, and these are read through.
it is thrown away. But with a
weekly it is different. In the country,
where a family takes only one or two
papers, every word and every line of it is
read over and over again. Adver¬
tising in such a medium is sure
to be remunerative. It is sure to
be read, which is the first consid¬
eration, and leads to the purchase of any
commodity bune. advertised .”—New York Tri¬
