Hints for the Housewife.

Pop Orers.-Four cups of flour, four
eggs, four cups of milk, piece Of butter
size of two nutmegs, half a teaspoon Of
salt, melt the butter.
10 Clean a Hair Brush.-Put a table
spoonful of spirits of hartshorn in a
pint of water, and wash the brush in it.
1t will very quickly make the brush as
good as new we have tried it.
TO Whiten the Hands.-Wine glassful
of eau de cologne, and another o. lemon
juice; then scrape two cakes of home
made soap to powder, and mix we'll
in mold. When hard it will be an ex.
cellent soap for whitening the hands.
Cleaning Stoves-Stove lustre, when
mixed with turpentine, and applied in
the usual manner, is blacker, more
glossy and durable than when mixed
with any other liquid. The turpentine
prevents rust, and when put on an old
rusty stove will make it look as well as
new.
Cooking Vegetables.-If one portion of
vegetables be boiled in pure, distilled
or rain water, and another in water in
which little salt has been added, de.
cided difference is perceptible in the
tenderness Of the two. Vegetables
boiled in pure water are vastly inferior
in flavor.
Corn-.Starch Paste.-Corn starch makes
the best paste for scrap books. Dis.
solve small quantity in cold water,
then cook it thoroughly. Be careful
and not get it too thick. When cold,
it should be thin enough to apply with
brush. 1t will not mould or stain the
paper. 1t is the kind used by daguerre.
otypists on "gem" pictures.
How 10 Keep Cider Soeet.-The cider,
after it comes from the press, is allowed
TO stand until the pomace settles. 1t is
then put into clean vessel over a
fire, and brought to boil-in the mean
time skimming off the scum as it rises.
1t is then put into small kegs or bot
ties, and tightly corked or sealed. By
this process cider may be kept sweet
for years.
Tapioca Puddng-Put eight large
spoonfuls Of tapioca to three pints Of
milk warm it; let it soak till it be-
comes soft, then mix with it two spoon.
fuls of butter, three beaten eggs, half a
cup sugar, half nutmeg bake imme
diately; to be eaten hot OF coda very
excellent and healthy dessert.
Roly Poly Pudding.-Make your pas
try as for soda biscuits; roll it about an
inch in thickness, add your fruit Grasp
berries are best), then roll it snug, Put
it in your steamer. have your pot of po
tatoes on the stove boiling, put your
steamer over it, and when your potatoes
are done, your Rolly Poly will be done
also; eat with sweet cream.

When johnson and Boswell were
travelling in the Hebrides in cold and
wet weather, to secure dinner was an
important object to both. Accordingly,
one day Boswell went forward to order
as good dinner as could be had at the
next inn at which they should arrive,
and johnson followed slowly behind.
The Doctor ordered him to get roast
leg of mutton, if possible, but to be
sure not to forget to order a pudding
with it. Boswell was fortunate enough
to secure both, and the dinner was in
preparation when johnson arrived. As
the weather was cold and wet, he went
at once into the kitchen to warm him.
self by good fire. There he found the
leg of mutton roasting; but, to his in
tense horror and disgust, little boy
who was basting it kept scratching his
head directly over it, with visible
transfer of live stock. johnson was too
disgusted to think Of eating any of the
joint himself, but he said nothing to his
companion, being unwilling to deprive
him of his dinner. When the dinner
was served, Boswell was mortified to
find that the Doctor would eat none Of
the leg Of mutton, which he had ex.
pressly ordered. "No," he said, "not
to day intend to make my dinner Of
the pudding" Accordingly he eat
heartily of the pudding, while Boswell
did ample justice to both dishes. In
the afternoon johnson told him why he
could not bring himself to eat the NUT.
ton, and Boswell in rage went to the
kitchen to look for the unlucky boy.
When he met with him ne said: I" You
young rascal, why didn't you put your
cap on when you were basting the leg
of mrtton?" The poor boy cried and
blubbered out, "Because mother took
my cap to boil the pudding in" So
Boswell fastened to tell this toJohnson,
and triumphed in his turn. The story,
however, tells too much against Boswell
to have been admitted into his /" Life Of
Johnson" or his Tour in the Hebri.

dead with an empty laudanum phial by
his side. And that lady was a good deal
shocked at first, but having read that a
needle introduced into the human flesh
would indicate on its surface whether
that flesh was dead, and being woman
of eminent practicability, she at once
armed herselfwith polished instrument
of nearly two inches growth, and with
throbbing heart and bated breath in.
troduced good share of its length into

What the surface indicated was not
learned, as he took it with him as he
passed through the sash.

When Mr.. Oakley, of Columbia
county, New York, insured the life of
a female relative aged sixty eight years,
he unquestionably expected that after
few payments he would realize a
handsome profit on his investment.
But, when she had persisted in living
seven years afterward, he became dis.
couaged, and assigned the policy to
one Peter Conkling. Mr.. Conkling
continued to pay the premiums as long
as he lived, and when he died, his
executors kept on, The other day she
died, aged ninety three, having been
insured for twenty-five years. The
executors received 81 300 on the policy,
less than one-half of the total sum that
had been paid for premiums.

Few OF OUR INSTITUTIONS are accom-.
plshing so much for the general we'll being
of society as the system of Life Assurance.
Numberless families have been saved by its
instrumentality from poverty and depend
ence. 1t furnishes an incentive TO and tho
means for a wise provision against the fu-
ture, and the changes which it may have in
store. This system is yearly growing in the
favor Of the public, and all classes, whether
rich or poor, are more and more disposed to
avail themselves Of the advantn ges which it
brings within their reach. This is demon
strated by the rapidly increasing business Of
some of our leading fire insurance COM
panies. The annual statement of the New
York Life Insurance Company, Of 346 and
34s Broadway, New York, just published,
makes an exhibit, with which its policy
holders may we'll be gratified, and of which
its officers have good reason to be proud.
The assets of this Company have increased
during the last ten years from $2,5OO,OO0 to
nearly 100000 900. The number Of policies
issued by it during the last year is s,9Os, in
suring over $24 100000. An annua, dividend
has been declared from its divisibe surplus
of nearly $1,000, 900. Such q statement as
this speaks loudly in favor of the prudence
ard zeal with which the business manage
ment of this Company has been conducted.
The New York Life has age and experience,

phllanthropist, Mr.. Simpson, who
takes a keen interest In the laboring
poor, has lately instituted some In
qulries among the seamstresses, aud
the result Is startling. The best paid
among them are the cloak makers. and
yet the wages Of such a one for a days
work Of twelve hours Is only twelve
shillings per week. For plain machine
sewing the pay Is but seven shillings
per week fora days work Of eleven
hours. A seainstress making boys
jackets receives Eve pence for four Of
them, which Is a good half days work.
One old woman, after years practice,
earns one shilling and six pence In five
days. And there are others still more
wretchedly remunerated. The price
for making three dozen of mems pants
Is three shillings. BY working steadily
for eighteen hours half q dozen may be
finished In one day. In reply to Mr..
Simpson, one Of these unfortunate

A WICKED TRICK.
From the Danbury Conn., News.l

From the Danbury Conn., News.l
A rather contemplate trick was
played on one OF our young clerks
Sunday night. He bought a cut-glass
bottle Of cologne, with q glass stopper
and pink ribbon, to present to a young
lady he Is keeping company with. but
on reaching the house he felt a little
embarrassed for fear there were men,
bers of the family present, and so left
the beautiful gift on the stoop and
passed In. The movement was per-
ceived by a graceless brother Of the
young lady. who appropriated the CO
logne for his own use, and reflled the
bottle with hartshorn from the family
jar, and then hung round to observe
the result. In a little while the young
MA slipped out OH the stoop, aud Sc
curing the splendid gift, slipped back
again into the parlor, where, with a
few appropriate words, he pressed It
upon the blushing girl. Like a good
and faithful daughter that she was, she
at once hurried into the presence Of
her mother, and the old lady was
charmed. They didn't put up, scent
stuff like that when she was a girl; 1t
was kept In a China teacup, and 1t was
held together by samples of all the
family's hair. But she was very much
pleased with 1t. She drew out the
stopper, laid the beautiful petals of her
nostrils oyer the aperture, and fetched
a pull at the contents that fairly made
them bubble. Then she laid the bot.
tie down and picked up q brass mount
ed tire-shovel instead, and said she, as
soon as she could say anything, "Where
is that sinking brat?" And he, all
unconscious Of what had happened,
was In front Of the mirror adjusting
his necktie and smiling at himself.
Aud here she found him, and said to
him 4: "Oh, you are laughing at the
trick OIL an old woman are you, you
