THE IIoLsTEIN QUESTION. 1hrCdtenod
Var ia Europe.-The news from Ger
many is very threatening. The German
States appear strongly disposed to support
the Duke of Austenburg against Denmark,
1t is not believed that Denmark will yield
without a resort to arms. If war once
breaks out on the continent, the probabili-
ties are that the great powers will become
involved in it, The London Times says
Denmark is getting ready fer war. Her
naval vessels are ordered into instant service
and the Minister OF War has ordered ont all
the soldiers belonging to the corps which
garrison Helstein Scheswig and Northern
Jutland. The King was to hold grand
review of the army on the goth ult. The
garrison of kie has been considerably re
inforced, and all the localities in the neigh
borhood of the town are occupied 10y sol
diers from the Danish islands. 1t is also
announced that some Danish ships of war,
with troops on board. are expected in the bay
of Kiel. The Copenhagen cabinet appears
determined to be in position not only to re-
pei any attack from Germany, but to pu.
down .hc movements which may arise IN the
duchics.

The following from the Gcpcsce %a,mcr
cannot but prove valuable to the general
reader at this period of the year, when the
question Of how to make good butter in
winter is constantly discussed:
1t is not an easy matter to make good
butter during the winter months, especially
when you have, as is usually the case, but
few cows that are giving milk
Ii the milk was as rich in butter during
the winter as it is in summer, there would
seem to be no reason why it cannot be cx-
tractcd. The temperature of the house is
under our control SO is that of the churn
the cream, &c. But the fact is that in
majority of cases the milk contains little
butter. The good wife may be ever so
skllIiu in her management, but if the butter
Is not there no amount of care and labor on
her part will produce it. If the butter does
not come the fault is not hers. Let the
cows be well fed and kept warm and COM
Portable, and there will be little trouble in
churning.
Butter like fat, is derived from the food.
If the food contains tat--or carbonaccous
substances. like starch and sugar, they will
produce tat-and these are not all consumed
to keep up the animal heat of the body. the
''"' u iiDNl"iIg SupPllCt Nllh ~, VIII 'IIutl
increase in weight or give milk rich in
butter.
An English lady who has had much cxpe-
rience in making butter, gives us the follow
ing hints in regard to her method of procc-
dure in winter :-"W here only few cows
are giving milk, skim the cream off every
morning, and scald it by putting it in tin
Immersed in boiling water, and letting it
remain till well heated. If the cows are
eating turnips, this will take away their
unpleasant flavor from the butter After
scalding the cream put it in crook, and
add to it the cream each morning (scading
as bcfore) till yhu have enough TO churn, say
one week. If kept longer the cream is apt
TO become bitter. 1t is not desirable to
skim the milk for more than two days. The
cream should be kept in a moderately warm
room, OF at least where it will not freeze.
When ready to churn, scald your churn and
pour in the cream while The churn is hot
and churn Immediately"

Delicious APPLE DEssFRT.-Take some
fine, firm apples, (pippins if you can obtain
thcm,) pare and core them. Make a srup
OF white sugar-proportions. thrcc-quarters
OF pound to pound of apples, and after
boiling for about ten minutes, put in the
apples; cook them slowly until TO scum
rises and they arc perfectly clear. Just
before they are done, add some of the peel
of fresh lemon, which can he laid over
them when they arc put in glass bowl.
Eat them with cream, and they make
delicious dessert.
AHRowRooT PUDn1NG.--Takc two table
spoontuls of arrowrOOt, and two quarts Of
fresh milk, mix the arrowroot with small
portion OF the milk and when the remain
ing part Of the milk has boiled, add it TO
the former; when nearly cold, add the yolks
Of three eggs well beaten, three ounces of
sugar. two. ounces of butter, and little
grated nutmeg; stir the ingredients well
together, turn them into butLercd dish,
and bake them for a quarter of an hour.

Not long ago fellow mortal who had
gone through the various stages of tuCldle,
was seated with me on the box of Il msil
stage out west. All hands had been amused
with the spirited wit OF our hero, who now
at last became o. little tongue tied, and found
some difficulty, in maintaining his pcrpen-
dicular as the stage joltcd along over the
uneven road Pretty soon the wheel OF the
coach over which our drinking friend was
sitting, sank to the hub in the mud. which
action precipitatcd him from the coach into
the wire, where he made forCihle impress
sion. Turning over, he looked up to the
diver, who had stopped the stage at once,
and exclaimed:
Driver, what (hic) in thunder did you
(hic) tip the stage over for =
The driver told him that the stage was
all right.
Il say, driver the stage is Oic) over, if
YOU don't believe thiC) it, look there
turning up his coat-tail and displaying
vast quantity of mud which had gathered
on his pants.
The driver still maintained that the stage
was right, and told him to get up and on;
but the drunken man was disputatiOus and
was not going to give II up So The driver
was drunk, and down, and so was the stage.
lie was willing to leave it to the passengers.
And once more exhibiting himself, covered
with mud, said:
81 say, you fclcrs, amt the stage over p
They told him that he Was the only one
over This was a clinchcr. He had agreed
to leave it to them, and they had decided
against him, and he was houorably bound
to give it up, which lac did by saying;

4 housckccper sends us the following, all
of which she has tried and proved to be
excellent:
PoTATo RoIIs-1'oil two pounds potatoes

add two ounces butter and a pint of milk !;
q little salt. one gill of yeast, and as much
flour as will make soft dough- set them
to rise: when light cut them in cakes; let
them rise half an hour and bake. Sweet
notatoc5 make beautiful biscuit, mixed as
above.
FHENCu RoIIs.--Boil one pint Of milk
cut up two ounces butter into it, add n
little salt; when tepid, slit in one pound
-four, one egg beaten, one tablespoonful
yeast beat these we'll together; when risen
form the rolls, with as little handling as
possible Bake on tins.
CoRNMEAL Pound CAKE.-One pound OF
corn meal. take Il handful of the meal out
and put in a handful OF wheat flour, little
salt, one-half pound sugar, onc-quartei
pound butter, and three eggs beaten togcth
cr, and the meal stirred in bake in quick

Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1864-01-02

DRAWING TEA.-The following method
is highly recommended, as bringing out, at
the proper time, the full flavor of the tea
''pour tepid or cold water enough on the tea
to cover it; place it ON the stove hearth,
top of tCakettlc or any place where 1t will
be warm, but not enough so as to cause the
aroma to escape IN steam. Let it remain
about half an hour, then pour on boiling
water and bring to the table.
GAS LIME.-The editor of the Gardeners
Monthly, in reply to an inquiry, says: Gas
lime, when il can be had pure, is of essential
service to clay soils; but in most cases it
contains crcasotc, and many soils have be
come seriously injured 10y its use. 1t is so
seldom free from this substance, and this
agaiu varies so much in proportion, that no
suc can be given Tor its use. Unless well
assured of its purity, we should letit alone
This is good advice; we have known much
injury done by the aY.&y.-on Of gas lime
to land.
Corn GRDDIE CARES Almost every
one is interested now in knowing how TO
make corn cakes most palatablc since so
much more of it will be used in these
Strengthened times. The following is said
to be an excellent receipt: Scald ut night
half the quantity of meal you are goiug to
use, mix the other with cold water, having
it the consistency Of thick batter; add Il
little salt and set it to rise; it will need no
Yeast. In the morning the cakes Will be
light and crisp.

POWER or GENTLENEsS. No bad man is
over brought TO repentance by angry words /;
by bitter scornful rcproachcs. He fortifies
himself against rcproot, and hurls back foul
charges in the face of his accuscr. Yet
guilty and hardened AS he seems, he has a
heart in his bosom, and may be melted to
tears 10y gentle voice. Whose, therefore.
can restrain his disposition to blame and
find fault, and can bring himself down to
fallen brother, will soon find his way to
better feelings within. Pity and patience
are the two keys which unlock the human
heart. They who have been most successful
laborcrs among the poor and vicious have
been the most iorhcaring. said the cclebra-
ted 81. Vincent de Paul." it has pleased
heaven to employ the most miserable of men
for the conversion of some souls, they have
themselves confessed that it was by the pa
tencc and sympathy which he had for them
Even the couycts among who have dyed,
can he gained in no other way. When
have kissed their chains and showed COM
passion for their di,grace-then have they
listened to me and placed themselves in the
way of salvation
