Household Helps


PIE CRUsT.-The most healthy pie
crust is made of thin, sweet cream and
-four, with little salt. Don't knead
thin. Bake in a quick oven. Another
way is sift quart or two of flour in the
pan. Stir in the center a little salt and
half teaspoonful of soda well pulverized.
Now put in the hole a cup of soft mot
liouid5 lard, or butter and lard mixed,
stir it thoroughly with the flour next
add two scant cups of good sour milk or
buttermilk. Stir all quickly with the
-four, in such way that you need
hardly touch it with your hands till you
can roll it out. Bake quick. This Will
make three or four pies.
COOKING AsPARAGUs.-Cut in very
small pieces and boil twenty minutes in
water pretty well salted; then skim 1t
out, throw away the water, put the
asparagus back and pour over it some
cream. Take a tablespoonful of flour
and the same of butter, mix them well
together and stir into the cream. Let it
boil up, and it is done. Try this, and
YOU will say it is the very best way to
serve asparagus YOU o'0i i0'' va 'iN'' "
SOAP MAKING.-A gentleman in the
Cincinnati Gazette says: After the
family supply of soap has been made in
the spring, the grease that accumulates
and is laid aside during the summer
often gets maggoty." To avoid this,
the following is a good plan: Have a
kettle full of I've and throw all bacon
rinds, etc, into this kettle. And when
fall comes you will be surprised at the
nice lot Of soap you have. And even If
a rat falls in, he will be changed into soap
Just the same.
SLICED TOMATO PICKLEs.-To one gal
lon of sliced tomatoes that are just turn
ing white and have been scalded in salt
and water sufficient to make them lit
tie tender, mix tablespoonful of ground
pepper, one of mace, one of cloves, one OF
ground mustard, one of cinnamon, four
of white mustard seed, twOof celery seed
or celery salt, one pod of green peppers,
four onions chopped fine, half:pint grated
horseradish. Mix all together and put a
layer of each alternate; add one pound
of sugar and cover with vinegar.

TOR is certainly specific for that class OF
complaints which it claims to cure. OF Its
beneficial effects we do know something
and from personal experiments it is our
opinion that its virtues have not been exag-
gerated by the many fattering notices of the
press. If any of our felow-beings are suffer
ing from hepatic disorders, and have doubts
in relation to the efficacy of this popular

Our Fairy.
OF all the elves that are so neat,
There's none so fair as Fairy!
The patter of her little feet
Is quick and airy
Her cheeks we're like the woodland rose,
Could roses dimple,-
Nor is there any flower that grows
More fresh and simple.
The little witch Is wondrous wise
And merry-minded
When by the sunshine in her eyes
Ny own are blinded.
Could she but feel the bliss l steal
From her sweet laughter,
The puss would be afraid OF me
For ever after !

THE RAINY DAY.

BY MRS. CLARA DoTY BATES.
GOLD LOCKS sits by the window pane,
Sits and watches the falling rain;
The great drops patter thick and fast
From sky all dull and overcast,
And she sighs, with half frown on her brow
"What good does the rain do, anyhow
1 know she is thinking of the play
On the bright, dry sidewalk yesterday,
In her pretty, new, blue-ribboned hat;
She is tired of the doll and book and cat;
She could run and shout in the sun again
But for this rain, this useless rain.
l smile at her small, impatient sigh,
And the wistful trouble of her eye, g., .,.
And sitting down by the window say:
Little girl, Gold Locks, look this way,
And listen, and will tell you now
What good the rain does, anyhow. a"
"The grass that spreads for your little feet
A carpet soft and green and sweet;
The leaves that cover the cunning nest,
On the apple -bough, Of the red-breast;
And the fields of clover and fields of grain,
Could never grow without the rain.
"None of your dainty, blue.eyed pets,
rhe crowding, sweet -breathed violets,
Could lift to the light their happy heads
Out of the grass and the garden beds,
And nod to you in their blithesome way,
If there never were rainy day.
"Then, dear, all days 60 by 80 fast,
The wettest, dreariest, does not last,
And if-when this with its rain is done
From the west should shine the evening sun
We shall see rainbow's painted arc
Glowing where now the sky is dark.
"And then tomorrow when you wake
To see the red, bright morning break,
You will say as you smell the fragrant air,
And the fresh drops glisten everywhere
On tree and flower in the early SUM-
This is the good the rain has DONE"

A japanese Bath.

A WRITER in Temple Bar says: " In
Japan, even in the lowest inns, the travel
er,s request for a bath is never met with
that stare of blank astonishment which
often attends the demand in your own and
every other European country. | know in
Ireland once l asked for bath and they
brought me horse bucket, and on another
occasion, in France, could get no nearer
,he article than a horse trough, while in
England and Germany the request has
more than once led to serious breach OF
the peace between myself and the land
lord. In Japan, on the contrary, there
would be much more surprise felt If the
traveller did not ask for one. There were
no preparations required, no rushing
about of cham bermaids, no turning on
this or off that-everything was quite
ready. and was at once conducted to a
huge wooden bath with a small earthen
furnace let in at the foot, and lid inclos-
ing the whole of the top with the excep-
ton of space just big enough tor the
head of the bather to emerge through. IN
one of these contrivances, with small
furnace burning gayly, a japanese, after
his DAVIS work is over, will sit calmly him
self with the lid on, and the water bub-
bling about him at boiling heat. He
seems, however, to like it uncommonly, TO
judge from the pleased expression on his
face, fast deepening under theprocess into
beet -rootlike tints; and when he has at last
had enough-about an hour ofit-he takes
off the lid and emerges as much like a
boiled lobster as human being can De-
come. My bath was quite ready, the
small furnace glowed with live pieces OF
charcoal the water dubbed merrily, and
my companion of the bath, taking of the
lid, invited me to enter Not being, how
ever, either Japanese, a blue lobster, or
a potato, ] did not see any particular op-
iect in being boiled, and so had the iuel
raked out of the furnace and few buckets
Of cold water added before l got in. %

The Italian Cinderella.

THE C0rnhW Magazine says: The We
netan version of Cinderella differs from
ours chiefly in the circumstance that the
heroine is cinder-wench in the palace of
the young King whom she eventually mar
ries. And this young gentleman, occa-
sionally coming into the kitchen to talk to
the Queen, his mother (who was model
housewife, if one may judge from her con-
slant presence in those regions), sees the
dirty, sordid-looking cinder-wench, and
takes violent dislike to her. The first
morning after the ball in which the beau
tiful stranger has enchanted all eyes the
King comes into the kitchen to talk over
the entertainment with the Queen, whom
he addresses as Sacred Majesty Mamma
And he goes into ecstasies about the love-
illness and splendor of the unknown Prln-
cess. Cinderella, hearing all this, muttcrs
over and over again, as quickly as she can
utter the words: G5era-at, giera-mt
CTwas I, twas u. WHAT'S the matter
with you,' says the King, that you NUT
ter and humble and jabber, and no one
can make out word you say? Mind the
hearth and hold your tongue, do! After
the second ball the same thing happens.
But this time Cinderella speaks little
more distinctly, and when the King de-
scribes the marvellous beauty and brillian-
cy of the unknown lady she says,
'Giara-mi, gjard-mi,' so as to be
heard and understood. What's the
matter with you noac, yon ugly scare
crow?' said the King, and he took
up the tongs and gave her a rap on the
pate But she kept on saying: Twas I,
twas |. Yes, yes, twas l. Well
said the King, 1 shan't argue any moro
with this ugly fright, for if did l should
kill her outright The slipper plays but a
small part in the Venetian Cinderella
1t is not made of glass, but of diamonds
and Cinderella does not lose it after the
ball, but throws it to the servants whom
the King sets to watch her and discover
whittier she goes in order that while they are
scramblng for it she may get clear off.
His Majesty falls sick of love and disap-
poinmcnt, takes to his bed and refuses
food, For several days he will eat moth
ing, but at length he calls his Sacred
Majesty Mamma and says that if she
will make him bread-soup he thinks he
can eat it. But she must prepare it with
her own hands, and let no one else touch
it. Above all, she is to take care that the
cinder-wench does not come near the soup
Sacred Majesty Mamma promises to do as
he desires. She makes the soup and cooks
it over the fire, watching all the while that
the scarc-crow of a cindcr-wench does moi
touch it, But for a moment Her Maj jesty
looks away from the saucepan, and in thai
moment Cinderella drops into the SOUP
a diamond ring which the King had put
on her finger at the last ball. This ol
course leads to the discovery of the whole
story, and the missing diamond slipper is
fitted on to Cinderella's foot as an addi
! tional corroboration of her identity with
the beautiful Stranger
