HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
The Four Courses of Chicken.
At first the chicken stuff’d and roasted brown
With apple sauce and fixings all complete,
And then the fricassee, all cover’d o’er
With thickened butter, pour’d with lavish
hand
To hide the bones. And then what may be
left
Is done up into pies, with pastry tops
Just fitted to the dish. Last course of all
Of this eventful bird is chicken soup—
The general leavings and the scrapings-up
Of wings, legs, tails, necks, bones and every¬
thing. —A World.

How to Wash Lace.
The only way to wash lace is on a
bottle. Cover the bottle with a cotton
cloth, sew the lace around, sewing down
all the delicate points; then sponge it
clean; or, if necessary, soak the whole
thing in soap-suds ilook out for your
soap!) or borax-water, or ammonia
water, or whatever you think the best
and thing; let rinse the by soaking thin^ in clean water,
whole dry perfectly
before taking the lace oil. Lemon juice
can be applied to spots before the soap
water is used. If the lace is carefully
sewed down in the first place it should
come out of its “washing” as good as

A Homemade Juice Press,
The ordinary method of extracting .
juice from fruits, lard from scraps, etc.,
by placing the material in a strong bag
or cloth and squeezing and wringing it
by hand, is exceedingly irksome. There
are screw pi esses for the purpose, but
they are more or less expensive and are
to be found iu few kitchens. Mu h aid
may be derived from the use of a simple
lever press, made on the principle of a
lemon squeezer. It requires two persons,
however, to manage this, one to hold the
material in the bag or cloth, and the
other to apply the pressure. But if one
of the halves of the press is hinged to a
piece of board, 2 feet long and U inches
wicie aau set upon a table with one end
al.ttle elevated, it can be worked by one
person. This press, will be found es
peciitUy convenient in je.ly making time,
as with its. aid the juice may be pressed
without either unduly staining or tiring
the hands. Brooklyn 0itisen.
House Flies.
I have discovered a good way to de
stroy house flies, says a lady in the
Piciyune. It has the advantage of
cheapness and aLo preventing dead flies
from falling into everything, as they do
When poison is used. Mix together
equal parts, by measure, of melted rosiu
and castor oil. Stir until thoroughly
mixed—which will take only a minute,
While yet a little warm, spread thin and
evenly on any paper that is not porous.
We use fools’-cap, writing papers, cata¬
logue covers, show bills, etc. Spread
with a case knile, or any straight-edged
instrument, slightly warmed. Leave a
narrow border to handle with. Lay the
papers on tables, shelves or any spare
places where flies are numerous. They
will soon cover the papers. As soon as
thev alight they will stick fast, and soon
puli themselves down. When* the papers
are covered two or three flies deep, put
in stove and replace with another one.
Be sure to use no water. The oil pre
vents the resin from hardening and has
the peculiarity of not evaporating. The
oil leaves no odor when cool. Ten cents
will buy enough to kill all the flies in a
hotel.

A Sure Cure for Corns.
it Replying to a correspondent who asks
to «ive a sure cure for corns, the New
York Sun says: “Ours is a cure without
drugs. It can be procured at the shoe
maker’s only, and then at the hands of
a shoemaker of the highest intelligence
an( j wiibiout such prejudice in favor of a
peculiar cut of shoe that he will be un¬
willing to make one different.
“The whole secret of curing or pre
venting the human affliction know: as
corns lies in making a very loose boot
which will still hold the foot so firmly
that the latter’s sides will not, by wab
bling about, be irritated by friction
worse than the steady pressure of too
much tightness, That can be done by
making the shoe (boots cannot be used

And in front of the instep all desire for

be so loose that its upper can be pressed

tend even beyond the extreme ends of

“Before long the wearer will step off
with a stride as unhampered as that of
the soft moccasined aborigine, and he
will be ready to plunge into a crowd
where feet are planted at random with a
fearlessness regarding his those own and an in
difference as to where of others
may fall, wh ch alone is worth the price
of his new shoes. Then he will wonder
how he ever submitted for an hour to
the oppressive measurements of his shoe

A Ghost Party.
A novel party was lately given by
some Philadelphians issued at a summer “ghost resort.
Invitations were for a
party,” and the evening was devoted to
the recitation of weird and grewsome
tales of horror and to the recounting of
,, ers0 nal experiences that were in every
wa ,. ca ! cu |afcd to make the hair of the
assembled company stand on end. When

He who is surety is never sure. Take
advice, and never be surety for more
than you are willing to lose. Remember
the words of the wiseman: “He that is
surety for a stranger shall smart for it;
and he that hateth suretyship is sure.
Money VInde Keening; Hens.
Hundreds of farmers who never kept an ac¬
count, would kill every “pesky ken” on the
farm, if it was not for the “women folks.” The
women intuitively know that the hens do not
“eat their heads off every six months,” hut
property kept pay better than any other farm
animals.
This is true. A record, simple to keep, so it
would be used and show the facts in detail,
would prove that every hen paid a profit. They
could be made to pay, from one to three dollars
each. Mr. James L. Burgess, Nashua, N. H.,
reported to the Nashau Telegraph that his
wife made a clean net profit last year, of $91.59
for eggs alone, from only sixteen hens. He
thinks her success was largely due, to using
Sheridan’s Condition Powder, a much adver¬
tised preparation to make hens lay.

to learn how to make them pay better?

Where Is It?
What Napoleon Bonaparte did with
the enormous fortune ho left somewhere
when sent to St. Helena, has since re¬
mained a mystery. In 1812 he told
Marshal Berthier, and also Bourrienne,
his private secretary, that he had neatly
100,000,000 francs, or $20,000,000 in our
money, for his personal fortune. That
he did not expend it is certain, for
there was no occasion to do so. Then,
as emperor, the national exchequer re¬
ceived and honored his drafts, in 1805,
Napoleon, after having enriched all his
family, had$15,000,000of hisown. The
money received from the United States
for the Louisiana purchase he used in re¬
equipping the army that fought and won
at Austerlitz and Wagram. At least $5,
000,000 of that money was never ac¬
counted for by the emperor. He was by
far the richest man in Europe in 1814,
and not a trace of the money was left be¬
hind him. The French government
thinks it has a clew.
