Helpful Hints to Housewives.

VEAL Mold. Lime a small mold with
hard boiled eggs, cut across so as to
show the yolk, and fill it up with small
pieces of veal, nicely favored, and fill
up with clear veal jelly or isinglass
jelly.
BURNT BUTTER.-Put a couple of
ounces Of butter in a fryiug-pan; set
it on the fire; when of a dark brown
color put in half teacup of vinegar, a
little pepper and salt. This is good
for fish, salad, or eggs.
Boston PUDDING. six ounces
Of fine flour, six ounces of fresh suet
shred fine, six ounces of raisins stoned,
a cup of molasses, cup of milk. Mix
well. put in basin, tie a cloth over,
and boil for three or four hours.
Serve with sweet liquid sauce
BAKED TOMATOES. them when
fully ripe, cut off slice from the stem
side, scoop out the pulp of the tomato,
and mix with it bread crumbs, butter,
pepper ard salt. Fill the emtpy shell
with this mixture, replace the slices,
put them in shallow pan, and bake an
hour
10 KEEP WORMS FROM DRIED Fruit
Place your fruit IN steamer over pot
of boiling water, covered tightly.
When thoroughly heated, tie then
Immediately IN clean linen or cotton
bag, and hang them up. This method
Is preferable to heating in an oven, as
that is apt to render them hard. even
If you are so fortunate as not to burn
them.
10 MAKE CRAZE BUTTER.-Pick the
grapes from the stems; wash and put
them IN pot with very little water.
as there is great deal Of juice in them.
Boil until tender; then take off and
strain them through a colander. Put
a pound of sugar to a quart of Juice.
Boil and stir well until done. No spices
Grapes that fail to ripen
may be used profitably in this way.
How TO FIX THE CLocK.-When the
clock stops, do not take it to the re-
pair shop till you have tried as follows
Take off the pointers and the face; take
off the pendulum and its wire. Remove
the ratchet from the tick " wheel, and
the clock will run down with great
velocity. Let it go; the increasing
speed wears away the gum and dust
from It's plnlOns-the clock cleans itself.
Il you have any sperm oil, put the least
bit on the axles. Put the machine
together, and nine times out of ten it
viii run just as well as if it had been
taken to the shop. In fact, this is the
way most shopmen clean clocks. If
instead of a pendulum the clock has
watch escapement, this latter can be
taken out in an instant, without taking
the works apart, and the result is the
same. It takes about twenty minutes
to SO clean a brass clock, and saves a
dollar.

The Ripening Corn.


How sweet to walk through the wheatlands
brown,
When the teeming fairness of Heaven drops
down,
The waving corn With bursting ears
Aseaof gold on the earth appears
No longer ROBBED in a dress of green,
With tawny faces the fields are seen
A sight more welcome and Joyous afar
Than hundred blood-won victories are.
Beautiful custom was tnat OF old,
When the Hebrew brought, with joy untold,
The early ears Of the ripening corn
An3 laid them down by the affairs horn;
When the priesthood waved them before the
Lord,
While the Giver of harvests all hearts adored
What gifts more could suited man impart
To express the flow of his grateful heart?
A crowd waits meath the cottage caves
To cut the corn and bind tn sheaves;
Atlength is heard the expected sound
Put in the sickle, the corn is Drowned
And the reapers go forth with as bIithe sou
As those who joined the Olympian goal
And sOrrowless hearts and voices come
To swell the hearts of tue harvest home.
And there is a reaper on earth well known,
Whose deeds are traced on the burial stone;
He carries sickle more deadly and keen
Than e'er in the harvest field was seen;
He cuts down the earliest ears in spring,
AS well as the ripest that times can bring.
The tares he gathers to flames are driven;
The wheat is laid in the garner of Heaven.

Suicide of Banished Polish Nobleman.

rIOnl Tie N. u sun, sept Sd.
Two months ago William Shlbert a
druggist, engaged Leopold Kreinski as
clerk. Yesterday morning Kremski
was found dead in room in the rear
of the store, It is believed he had ia
ken morphine, intending to commit
suicide. Kremski was a Polish noble
man, an exile, having been driven from
his native country about six wears 400
for a political offense. His wife who
was lady of rank, came with her hus-
band to this country. Some fourteen
months ago Mrs. Kremski died. Inst
before her death she received a legacy
OF Sl5, 900, but on her decease II re-
verified to other heirs. The want of
this money embarrassed Kremski His
misery was increased by a lono and
serious attack of rheumatism. and he
had repeatedly said to his friends g T
have nothing TO live for-I wish woe
dead !" About nine o'clock Yesterday
morning lad went into the room and
found his body lying on the floor his
head resting against the side of the
sofa. On the sofa lay bottle partly
filled with an amber colored fluid. The
bottle was labeled tine. opil.. but it's
contents are unknown. Mr.. Sbubert
missed large quantity of morphine.
and thinks Kremski used it during the
day and night on Sunday and that 1t
killed him.
Kremski was thirty-five years old.
HIS had been highly educated, and was
immensely wealthy when exiled. His

An Inland Sea that Yields Not Up Its
Dead
From the San Francisco Bulletin.


Some twelve or fourteen persons
have been drowned in Lake Tahoe
within the past ten years none Of the
bodies have ever been recovered. Su-
perstition, ever ready TO weave a senti-
ment from natures laws, asserted that
there was a doubtful mystery in the
non-recOvery of the drowned; that, in
fact, q monster had its abode in
this fresh water sea, and that the
bodies all passed into It's capacious
NAV. The true explanation of this
mystery never has been given. The
non-appearance of the bodies is due to
three causes. The first is, the great
purity of the water and its consequent
lack of buoyancy. Drowning is very
easy IN 1t for this reason, though have
not, while swimming ia it, found any
more than ordinary difficulty in sus-
tanning myself. The second and main
cause is due to the great GOODNESS of
the water. Even at this, the warmest
season, the surface water is as cold as
the drinker desires it to be, but it is
warm there compared with its tempera-
ture at the depth of 100 or 200 feet. 1t
is as cold there as the arctic

body sinks in the lake to the
depth required it is frozen stiff. The
process, of course, preserves it, so that
the gas which originates from decay in
other water is prevented, and disten-
sion checked. The body Is thus kept
in a state of greater specific gravity
than the waterin which it is suspended.
and thereby prevented from rising to
the surface. The third cause lies in
the great pressure of the pure water on
anything which is sunk to great depth
in it. Corks placed on deep sea-nets
are pressed down in week to halt
their size; and one of the oldest resi-
dents of the lake expresses the belief
that, by the time mans body has
been suspended for week at depth of
about 200 feet Git is not likely that it
ever reaches the cavernous and almost
fathomiess bottom of the great lake,
the compression of the water has re-
duced it's size to that of a child's.
Doubtless the idea of uncoffined sus-
pension in such IS world of water is
not pleasant one TO contemplate but
be pressed into solid mass, and sus-
pei ded in liquid coffin of ice tenn
perature, is quite as pleasant as inter-
ment and Wondering in the ground.

The MitrailleuSe.

Russia is apparently the only
power which still believes in the real
efficacy of the mitrailleuse The Gar
has provided his army with fifteen bat
teries of Gatlings, one for each infantry
division f; but England, it appears, has
only ten or dozen in store, and the
French War Department is said to
have condemned the thing outright.
This might be thought the result of
national disappointment, considering
with what flourish the horrible en-
CINE was introduced at Satorv, and all
the expectations which were raised bv
the slaughter done on the poor horses
at camp. But the Germans, also,
who captured what they call the 'sbul-
let-squirt by scores, and took them
with ammunition and equipments to
Berlin, appear to care very little about
this machine as an implement of war.
The experiments made at Woolwich by
the Royal Artillery of Great Britain,
tend IN the same direction Experts
say that the mitrailleuse, even in its
best form, is only used for defending
narrow passages or sweeping well-de
defined path at close quarters. It's eff
feet would be great at a breach, or in
protecting the flank of main ditch !;
but grape and canister are far more
formidable atregular ranges, and shrap-
mel demoralizes troops sooner, and
reaches them even when under cover.

4 Musical Tent.

The Kiosk Hollandia, which gained
silver medal at the Industrial Exhibi
ton of 1871, is musical tent which,
by the wonderful construction of its
sounding board, propagates musical
sounds in an astonishing degree. Its
superior qualities may be enumerated
thus: 1. The sounds of the brass in
struments, which hitherto frequently
hurt the nerves of the ear, will gain in
effect by their passage through the
pipes, becoming less harsh and noisy
2. X will be possible to give several
concerts in several parts of a park,
garden or building, at the same time,
with only one set of performers. The
success of the invention depends quite
as much upon the correct and minute
division of space as upon the use made
of the building materials.

JUST TAKEN HIS BITTERs. heard
a seedy-looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to a broth
er soaker that he had "just had his
bitters, but he did not mind taking
another nip" His remark suggested a
train of reflection. How was it. we
asked ourselves, that the word "bit-
tiers had grown to be a synonym for
gin, whisky, rum, and other alcoholic
stimulants to which it was applied in
discriminatory. Bitters, we reasoned,
suggested the idea of healthful tonic,
not Of a poisonous stimulant; some
thing lnvigorating to the system, not
an alcoholic irritant, full of fusel oil,
producing present intoxication and Ill
innate insanity, idiocy, or premature
death. Moreover, our idea of bitters
was totally irreconcilable with "gin
cocktails" rum punches" and brandy
smashes,H which, we are informed are sweet
ened with sugar, and rendered doubly iniuri-
Gus with essences colored by means of mineral
poison. This was bitter-swcet with ven
geance. We mentioned this problem to a
friend. He solved it by exclaiming ssWhv.

Away Down in the Sea.

The submarine Investigations carried
on at government expense, under the
direction of the British Association of
Science, have disclosed some most in
teresting facts III regard to the bottom
of the sea.
These researches have been carried
OH by means of a simple dredge-a rec
tangular iron frame, forming the mouth
of bag of netting which is protected
from wear by a leather or canvas flap.
The whole apparatus, attached to a
rope of suitable length, is dropped to
the bottom of the sea, and is dragged
along the surface certain distance.
scraping off the superficial layer of mud
and sand into the bag, the meshes of
which permit the dirt to be washed
through, while the larger substances
are retained and brought up.
The depth at which the bottom of
the sea has been thus explored has
been really enormous, amounting in
one instance TO more than three miles,
far exceeding that of any previous ex-
pertinent with the dredge, though
small quantities of sea bottom have
been brought up from equally great
distances from the surface by means
Of the sounding line.
At this depth many species of marine
animals have been found, some entirely
new and others rare, and the tempera-
ture at the bottom indicated about sc
degrees. The surface water is shown
to be affected by the heat of the sun
only to a depth of about twenty faith
oms, but the Gulf stream influences
the degree of heat to further depth
of five to seven hundred fathoms.

New Method of Storing Gran,

:, a plan has been submitted to the

portable sheet,iron granaries, in which a
vacuum is maintained equal to at least

is provided with an opening, through
which the inlet of the grain is led, with a
Waived pipe through which the air is ex-
hausted, and with a gauge by which the
degree of exhaustion is indicated. The
grain is removed through an opening in
the bottom. IN an experiment where liv-
ing insects were introduced in large guam
titles with the grain it was found that
they were all killed before doing mis-
chief, and at the end of six months the
wheat was found to be in as fine condi-
ton as at the outset

Frank Howard, otaoS Billy Forces
ter, was arrested in Washington on
Saturday, on several charges, one of
them being that he knew something
OF the Nathan murder, and was taken to
New York tonight Chief of Police
Richards, after his arrest, charged him
with being Forester. The prisoner
replied that it was no use now DENYING
the fact, since they had the points so
fine on him. He had been hunted
down like dog, and he was tired of it.

he expected to have the hand of q

He was the Billy Forester wanted. but
had not murdered Mr. Nathan, though
he was accused of it. He would have
given himself up long ago were it not
for the fact that he had escaped from
prison in Joliet, H., twice, and once
in the State of Michigan After the
examination he Che prisoner was
placed in a cell at the headquarters,
and the police authorities of New York
notified. Forester has just returned
from a trip south. He states that
eleven months ago he went to New
York city, where he stayed five months,
afterward leaving for Petersburg, Va,
from which place he went to Norfolk,
thence south. He was born in Scot
land, and part of his life has been
spent at sea before the mast. In an in
terview with Forester the following
was elected: ...-.-.
Question-How long have you been
in Washington
Forrester-About eight days. I came
here from the south. c.
Q.-They give you the credit of be-
ing the Nathan murderer . How about
that
F.-Well, I am willing to stand trial
for that charge. I know the newspa-
pers have said [ was suspicioned. but
If they let me loose [ viii go to New
York on my own responsibility and an
swer the charge. [ would have given
myself up long ago had it not been
that two unexpired sentences in the
penitentiary hung over my head, and I
did not care about being jagged.
Q.-You seem to be somewhat of a
national character. You seem to loom
up as principal in a good deal OF
crime?
F.-Yes, it's wonder they don't
blame me with being connected with
the Baltimore bank robbery. [ gener-
ally come IN for a good share of the
blame for all crimes committed.
Q.-You and Reddy the Blacksmith
are two favorite characters IN police
courts.
F.-Yes; nothing like having IA
tional reputation
Forester is evidently a dangerous
man, or his looks betray human i'm
pressions. He is of slight though
well knit frame; in height he is about
five feet seven, and stands erect His
eye is deep hazel, with a wicked ex-
preston.

Modern TrOttng HOrses---Gecident. the

California Rival Of Goldsmith Maid.
San Francisco correspondent of the Spirit of the
Times. -.
Starting back from old Dutchman's
time, which is about the first trot [
ever saw, we come down with record
of our national sport to the first of
this year, up to which time we show
six horses that have beaten 2:20, thirty
three that have beaten 2:25, and no less
than $50 horses that have beaten or
tied $50, and worth all the way from
$1,000 to 500, 900 each. Certainly the
trOttlng-bOrse interest has risen to be
a power. What would Bryant, who
drove old Lady Suffolk in 2:26 twenty
six years ago, think of this record if he
could see it now, and the little Queen
Of the Turf, Goldsmith Maid, hum
around in 2-164 Well, as every dog
has his day, so it seems that every
horse must have his. Lady Suffolk,
Flora Temple, George M. Patchen, Dex-
ter and Lady Tho1ne have each had
their day, to be succeeded by Gold
smith Maid, and it may be by Ameri-
can Girl, and most certainly by the
California wonder, Gov Stanford's
horse Occident. This horse, new to
the turf, is a natural trotter, and has
certainly shown some wonderful time
i'll private trials-reports say as
low as 1:034 to the half
mile-and if he behaves as well in
public trot as he does in mis- private
trials, he will reduce the record to 2:12
or 2:15. Don't mistake what [ say-he
will do it. So look out for the great
American trotter from the Pacific slope!
And from general observation [ think
and venture to say that if James L. Eoff
and Occident appear ON the track in
good health and orderin September and
October next, the great trotting race of
this century will be seen, and more
money will change hands than on any
race ever trotted in America. If Gold
smith Maid beats him, Cal1fornians will
have to work to get back the $3.50, 900
that they will put up on their wonder.
