HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

APPLE FRITTERs.-Make a batter, not
very stiff, with one quart of milk, three
eggs and flour to bring it to right con-
sistency. Pare and core dozen apples,
and chop them to about the size OF small
peas, and mix them well in the batter.
Fry them in lard, as you would dough
nuts. For trimmings use powdered
white sugar.
THE first step toward making home
orderly and healthful is to have regular
hours for meals, and to have every meal
ready at the right time, accidents ex-
cepted. When d woman has not suffi-
cient help, with children to attend to, it
is not always an easy matter to accom-
plish, and occasional failures are excuse
BILE; yet that should be the aim.
EGG BREAD.-Take one pint of fine,
white, Indian corn meal; mix into a
smooth batter with warm water Add
three well-beaten eggs, spoonful OF
salt, two tablespoonfuls of melted lard.
Bake in shallow pan, and just before
placing in the oven pour a gill of warm
water or milk on the top of the mixture.
1t requires more heat to bake Indian
meal than flour.
PREsERvEs.-A nice preserve may be
made by taking equal quantities OF white
sugar and sound sweet apples; quarter
and core the apples and cook in strip
made of the sugar. If the f-Tmer's wife
wishes to add to the bill of fare for the
table, let her now begin while fresh meat
and apples, sausage and ham, ETC., are
plenty. Mincemeat may be prepared
all ready for pies, and canned the same
as fruit, and is very convenient in the
summer, as it is but few moments work
to make pie.
A LAUNDRY SECRET-The following
recipe for doing up skirts will be found
of use by many housewives: Take two
ounces Of fine white gum-arabic powder,
put it in pitcher and pour on it a pint
or more Of water, and then, having COW
cred it, let it stand all night In the
morning pour it carefully from the dregs
into clean bottle and cork it and keep
for use. A tablespoonful of gum-water
stirred in pint Of starch made in the
usual manner will give to lawns, either
white or printed, a look of newness
when nothing else can restore them after
they have been washed. --HouSeh0Id.
AIRTH SPARE BEDs-Here is a hint
for housekeepers and very important
one: Merely covering up a bed with
blankets and counterpanes will no more
protect it from dampness Or keep it dry
than pane of glass will keep out light.
The atmospheric moisture will penetrate
all woven fabrics. Hence the Importance
of keeping the beds in spare rooms regu-
larly aired. Many dear friend or well
come visitor has been sent to an untime-
ly grave or afflicted with disease by
being put into a bed which, had been per-
mitted t. stand unoccupied. Keep the
spare bed, when not in use, free from all
covering but light spread. -RurGl NeaO

BY NEGLECTING THE PROBATION WHICH
common sense dictates many fall victims to
their own imprudence. We have seen the
young and beautiful girl, the hope and pride
of her parents-her cheek flushed with antic-
ipation, and her eyes beaming with the gay
dreams of life-we have seen all this changed
for shroud by neglecting common cold
which had settled upon her Lungs. 1t might
have easily been cured if it had been attended
to in time. Now, when your Lungs are first
diseased with the incipient stages of Con-
sumption, you should use Aliens Lung Bal
sam, which will relieve them without fail

Poisoned TO Death.

A healthy liver SecreteS each day about two
and half pounds OF bile, which contains
great amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of noxious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood and be con-
yeyed TO every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when it is
receiving and retaining each day two and
half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work
Oft this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc; but
these organs become OvertaXed in performing
this labor in addition to their natural func-
tions and cannot long withstand the pressure,
but become yariously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to it from
the heart and it fails to perform its Office
beautifully. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dizziness, headache, in
capacity to keep the mind on any subject, i'm
pairment Of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or snerv-
Gus feelings, gloomy fOrebOdings and irrita-
bility of temper. The blood itself being dis
eased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface
of the skin, is SO irritating and poisonous that
it produces discOlored brown spots, pimples,
blotches and other eruptions, sores, boils,
carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The
stomach, bowels and other organs spoken Of
cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or
later, and cOstiVeness, piles, drOpsy, dys-
pepsia, diarrhea, female weakness and many
other forms of chronic disease are among the
necessary results. AS a remedy for all these
manifestations Of disease DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery with small daily doses of
his Pleasant Purgative Pellets are positively
unequaled. By them the liver and stomach
are changed to an active and healthy state,
the appetite regulated and restored, the blood
and secretions thoroughly purified and en-
riched, and the whole system renovated and
built up anew. Sold by all tirst-class drug
gists and dealers in medicine.

Houses in Germany.

A STUTTGART correspondent of the
Louisville C0urier-Jou17odJ writes of
housekeeping there as follows: "The
noise of uncarpeted floors is at first I'm
bearable to Americans. Of course some
Of the very wealthy use carpets, but sew
eral reasons prevent their prevalent
adoption. The doors fit SO closely that
they would require to be planned off at
the bottom to admit a carpet beneath !;
but perhaps the most important consid
GRAFTON is the utter absence of furniture
rollers. In such simple matters as these
Americans miss many little contrivances
for household comfort that are accessible
to the humblest at home. The floors are
of different colors of oak wood, accu-
rately fitted together in small blocks to
initiate mosaic. The waxing is renewed
every few weeks, and the sweeping of
such floors as followed by frequent wip-
ing with buckskin Large rugs in hand
some patterns are laid in the most eX-
posed places. White floors are easily
disfgured by every drop of water, and
require fortnightly scrubbings. This in
wolves whole days discomfort, to say
nothing of the herculean task of moving
the rollerless furniture, and the annoy
ance of having detachable pieces
wrenched off by clumsy cleaners. Then
we miss the warm, dry climate that so
speedily effaces all traces of the scrub
bing- brush. A days cleaning is followed
by a cold night, through which the damp
ness is perceptibly felt"

WILL WONDERS NEVER GAsE?-When
DR.. Walker proclaimed that he had pro-
duced from the medicinal herbs of Cali
fornia an Elixir that would regenerate
the sinking system and cure every form
of disease not organic, the incredulous
shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR
BITTERs is now the Standard Restorative
of the Western World. Under the oper-
alton of the new remedy Dyspeptics re-
gain their health; the Bilious and Con-
st1pated are relieved of every distressing
symptom; the Consumptive and Rheu
matte rapidly recover; Intermittent and
Remittent Fevers are broken; the hered-
itary faint of Scrofula is eradicated
Skepticism is routed, and this wonderful
preparation is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. We don'tsell
Rum under the guise of medicine. We
advertise and sell a pure medicine which
will stand analysis by any chemist in the
country. ~

HOWEVER rich man may be, however
titled, however proud, let him go his way
with humility, remembering that he is
only about the two-billionth part of the
population of the world, and that he will
some day die and be missed by men just
about as much as a mashed grasshopper
missed by his sw arm.

FARMERS DoUGHNUTs.- One cup sugar
two of sweet milk, two spoonfuls sweet
cream, two teaspoonfuls cream tartar,
one of soda, little nutmeg, and flour
to mix hard enough to roll out; but do
not knead any; an egg may be added if
you choose. Be sure to have the lard
hot enough when the cakes are put in.

IT is not so much what d man earns as
what he saves that makes him independ
ent. In many lines of business the mar
gin of profit is so small that only the
most Judicious management and strict
est economy can keep the concern afioat.
Hence it is that so many apparently
flourishing establishments go under at
the very first symptom of financial shaki-
ness.

homeopathic Life Insurance.

There is so great difference in doctors, in
their theory and practice aud their success,
that it seems the Blost natural thing in the
world Though we do not know that it ever has
been done except in one or two inStances) for
Life Companies TO graduate their charges for
insurance according to the skill and intelli-
gence CT the party's family physician. This
idea is being carried out with remarkable sue
cess by the Homeopathic Mutual Life 1nsur-
ance Company of New York. It's last state
ment, published on Jan. 1, 1875, shows that
during the last seven years it has insured s.
173 persons who employed Homeopathic
practice, of whom thirty -eight-three-fourt
of per cent.-haye died in that period, while
out of ,635 persons insured who did not en-
ploy Homeopathic physicians fifty-or over 3
per cent-have died.
This would seem almost incredible were it
not backed up by other reliable statistics
which the company has collected from other
sources, and which it has also published and
largely distributed. But the Homeopathic
Mutual" clinches its belief by its practice, and
boldly offers to insure its adherents at rates
from 10 to II per cent less than the regular
terms. 1t evidently means business; and, ac-
cOrding to its statement, appears to be among
the soundest and most vigorous of the young
er companies. Parties desiring further in
formation or to act as agents can obtain all
statistics by addressing the Company, 231
Broadway, New York.
