A RECIPE WORTH ONE THOUSAND
DoLLARs.--The Ohio Cultivator
says the following recipe is worth
$1,000 to every housekeeper:
Take one pound of sal soda and
a half pound of unslacked lime,
and put them in a gallon of water,
boil twenty minutes, let it stand
till c"ol, then drain of and put in
a small jug or jar soak your dirty
clothes over night, or until they
are wet through, then wiring them
and rub n plenty of soap, and in
one boiler of clothes well covered
with water, ado one tea cup full of
the washing fluid ; boil half an
hour briskly, then wash them
thoroughly with snds rinse, and
yonr clothes will look better than
by the old way of washing twice
before boiling. This is an inval-
,nable recipe, and every poor, tired
woman should try it. - ~,

The first Masonic funeral that,
ever occurred in California took
place in the year 1S49, and was
performed over the body Of a
brother found drowned in the bay
OF San Francisco. An account Of
the ceremonies states that on the
body Of the deceased was found a
silver mark of q Mason, upon
which We're engraved the initials
of bis name. A little further in.
vestigation revealed to the behold
err the most singular exhibition of
Masonic embleins that were ever
drawn by the ingenuity of man
upon the human skin. There ia
nothing in the history or traditions
of Freemasonry equal to it. Beau.
tifully dotted on his left arm, in
red or blue ink, which time could
not efface, appeared all the en-
blems OF the entire apprenticeship.
There were the Holy Bible, tho
square and the compass, the twen-
ty.t>ur inch gauge, and the COM
mon gavil. There were also the
Mosaic pavement, representing
the ground-foor of King Solomons
Temple, the indented tessel which
surrounds it, and the blazing star
in the centre. On his right arm.
and artistically executed in the
same indelible liquid, were the
enblems pertaining to the fellow
craft degree, viz tire square, the
level and the plumb. There were
also the five columns representing
the five orders of architectureS
the tuscan, doric, ionic, corinthian,
composite. '.'sl .,...s
In removing The garments from
his body, the trowel presented it
self, With all the other tools of OPP
erative masonry. Over his heart
was the pot of incense. On the
other parts of his body were the
beehive, the book of constitutions,
guarded by the tyler's sword; the
sword pointing to a naked heart {;
the All.seciDg eye; the anchor
and ark, the hour glass, the scythe,
the forty-scventh problem Of Eu-
cid; the sun, moon, stars and
comets the three steps, emblem
atical of youth, manhood and 40 @.
Admirably executed was the weep
ing virgin, reclining on broken
column, upon which lay the book
of constitutions. In her left hand,
she held the pot of incense, the
Masonic emblem of a pure heart,
and in her uplifted hand. a sprig
of Acacia, the emblem Of the i'm
mortality of the soul. rN&t.
Immediately beneath her, stood
winged Time, with his scythe by
his side, which cuts the brittle
thread of life, and the hour glass
at his feet, which is ever remind
ing us that our lives are whitening
',way. The withered and attenu.
ated fingers of the Destroyer were
placed amid the long and graceful
ly flowing ringlets Of the disconso-
late mourncr. Thus were the
striking emblems of mortality and
immortality beautifully blended in
one pictorial representation. 1t
was a spectacle such as Masons
never saw before, and, in all prob
ability, such as the fraternity
will never witness again. The
brothers name was never known.

INSANITY

1t has been ascertained, it is at
least maintained by those who have
given special attention to the sub
ject, that the number of insane has
rapidly increased of late years, be
ing now much larger in proportion
to the population of the country
than ever before. The same is said
to hold true of Great Britain. For
the past twenty years4he average
increase in England has been about
one thousand, and it gives no indi-
cation of tendency to pause, but
holds on from year to year with re-
markable steadiness. A steady
though slower rate Of increase has
taken place in Scotland. In Ire
land, too, there has been the same
progressive influence, showing a
difference of 1,7S4 between the num-
Der oflunatics in asylum on the first
Of January, 1857, and the number
so provided ior ON the first of Jan
uary, 1865. And what is true of
the United States and Great Britain,
is true to greater or less extent of
all the countries of Europe, regard
ing which we have trustworthy in
formation. In France, for instance,
there was an average yearly increase
of $50 for the twenty. six years.be-
fore 1S6l-giying total dif6erenc e
of 10, 200 from the first of January,
1885, to the first of January, 1861,
that is, a difference between 1889
and 30. 939.

THE GERMANS AND THE GRANT
ADMINISTRATION

AUTHORIZATION.
The German Radical press of the
country is beginning to disclose the
feelings Of that class OF voters with
reference TO Gen. Grant and his adj
ministration. Senator Schurz, of
Missouri, and other leading men of
ne German element, having been
ostracised by the President, and
their claims for a portion of the
spoils disregarded, movement
has been started to make the pro-
scribed portion Of the Radical party
felt in some practical manner. The
particular plan has not yet been
definitely agreed upon, but the
stream has overleaped its banks and
is spreading in all directions. The
Pioneer, of Boston, opens the fight
on the question of the relative i'm
portance of Germans and negroes
in the estimation Of the Radical
party, and remarks:
"The number Of offices given to any
class Of citizens is the measure Of the re-
spect and consideration the class enjoys.
From this standpoint the comparison be-I
tween what has been done for the ne!
groes and the Germans is permitted.
Only the Democrats can possibly oppose
the practice Of giving Office to negroes
who are able to fill them but if they re-
ceive two or three times as many Offices
as the Germans, it is plain that, in spite
of their smaller vote and their inferior
education, when compared with the Ger
mans, the Americans have more respect
for the negroes than their own German
partisan friends. The reason is obvious
The negroes belong together and act tOS
gether. To insult the prominent men
among them would signify neglect and
insult to the whole race. They are re-
liable only as psrtisans, if they are con-
tented and respected as a mass. The
former slaves are more independent Of
their liberties than the German Radlca'
are Of their partisan friends. They can
moi live without feeling the chains by
which they are tied to political servitude
Yes, so it is The negroes, saved by
the Republican party, are more respected
by tk&t party than the Germans whC
saved the party itself. The negroes
from slaves, became freemen; the Ger
mans, from Radicals, became slaves"
The NetC World, of st. Louis, il
not entirely satisfied with the posi-
ton or arguments of its contempt
rary. 1t requires only respect ant
recognition of the Germans as
class, inasmuch as they stand up 70
liberty and the rights of humanity
This respect, the Ne,C World insists
the Germans "enjoy in spite of tn
infamous conduct of our would-b
leaders in President Grants ante
chamber" The same paper fnrthe
remarks:
"If they are not blind at Washington
they must know that We can not be sol
out, and that, therefore, it is of doubtfI
advantage TO remunerate our leader

THE STORY OF A PHYsIcIAN.-An eminent
physician, in Hearth and Home, tells the fol-
lowing exc client story for the benefit of young
mothers. He says: . An intelligent young
mother inquired some days since how she could
best preserve her child linen clean and sweet
when changed frequently during the day. l
directed her never to dry it by the fire, but in
the sun and open air if the weather permitted.
You thus not only avoid saturating the air of
YOUR room with the volatile and poisonous gas
es driven out of the linen, but the suns rays
have powers of cleansing and disintecting,
which artificial heat has not and will purify
and preserve the linen. She followed directions,
but as is too often the practice, dried and aired
it in the nursery window. Her fastidious hus
band demonstrated in vain against this unseen
" exposure. Believing that if she saw her
practice as others saw it, she would desist, he
so directed their afternoon walk as to bring
the nursery window in full view from centra
part of the town. Stopping abruptly, he point
ed to the offending linen tapping conspicuously
in the breeze, and asked sarcastically: My
dear what is that displayed from our window
why she promptly replied, that is the flag
of cur Unionl' Conquered by this pungen
retort, he saluted the flag with swing o
his hat and pressing his wife's arm close
within his own, said, as they walked hOmeward

Leuorp, the hour draws nigh.
The hour we've awaited so long,

That borders the river Of death.
And a vision fell solemn and sweet
Bringing E.eams of a morning-lit land.
saw the white shore which the pale waters beat.
And heard the low lull they broke at their feet
Who walked on the beautiful strand
And wondered why the spirit should cling
To their clay with struggle and sigh.
