A HrNx TO The WORKING NJ

A HLNF TO THE WORKING MANA man
with a family, however poor he may be, owes
it to his wife to save her health and strength
in every way possible. He has no right to
allow the mother of his children TO wear hel
life out toiling with her needle to clothe her
family. His duty is to buy the Wilson shut
tie sewing machine, the best machine for fam
iIy sewing and manufacturing purposes ever
invented. and he can buy the Wilson machine
upon terms which enable him to pay for 1t ID
small monthly installments, that he can spare
out of his wages without feeling the drain.
He will get, thereby, a machine capable of
doing every variety of family work in the
most beautiful manner; a machine that even
child can operate, and which will prove, a
permanent family blessing. Machines will be
delivered at any railroad station in this coun-
tv, free of transportation charges, if ordered
through the company's branch house at $40
North 4th Street, st. Louis. They send an
elegant catalogue and chrome circular free

Sandal. WOOd.

Sandal.wood is the produce of several
species of trees gowing in the East In.
dies and the tropical islands of the South
Seas. Its compact, fine grain adapts it to
the manufacture of work-boxes and orna-
mental articles; while its powerful fra
GRANGE, destructive to insect-life, com.
mends it for use in cabinets for the pres
ervation of specimens of natural history.
Its odor is due TO an essential oil. White
sandal-wood (SdntaL,snI 0L6llrn) is native
of mountains in the South of India and of
the Indian Archipelago. The tree re-
sembles myrtle in its foliage, and is much
branched. The stem is seldom more than
an inch in diameter. During the year
1S72-'73, $50 tons eff this wood. valued at
$4,000, were sold in the Province of My
sore and Curg. The wood is not abun-
dant, and is extremely expensive. A
species of sandal-wood s. Freycinetianlna)
grows in the Sandwich Islands. The
Chinese make much use of it for burning
in their temples and houses. first reducing
it to sawdust and mixing it with paste.
A third species of sandal-wood rs. Yasi) is
found in the Fiji Islands, but has been
nearly extinguished by commerce.

HOME INTERESTS.

LEMON PrE.-Take teaspounfnl OF
corn starch. moistened with a little cold
water, then add cup of boiling water,
cup of sugar, egg, l tablespoonful Of
butter, the juice and grated rind of l
lemon.
VIRGINIA CoRN-BREAD.-Dissolv Ia
blespoonful of butter in 81 pints of boiling
milk. and into this scald quart of Indian
meal. When cool add ! pint of wheat
flour. a little sugar, teaspoonful of salt,
and 2 eggs well beaten. Mix well togeth-
er, and bake In 2 cake-tins well buttered.
RICE FRfTTEHs.-Bon q teaspoonfnl of
rice until Ii is tender; strain upon it
quart of milk, and let 1t boil 10 minutes :;
cool il. and add -four enough to make q
batter AS thick as will fry easily on
the griddle, and tablespoonfuls of
Yeast let it rise 3 hours then add well
beaten eggs and cook on heated griddle.
CURING HAMS AND BAcoN.-In curing
hams and bacon it will be found advanta-
geous to use the quantity of common soda
as of saltpeter-1f ounce each to IA pounds
of ham or piece of bacon, using the usu-
al quantity of salt. The soda prevents
that hardness in the lean of the bacon
which is so often found, and keeps it quite
mellow all through, besides being a pre-
yentive of rancidity. This receipt has
been very extensively tried for fifteen
years, and invariably approved of.
WASHING PowDERs.-The basis of all
washing powders is the soda ash of COM
merce, blended with common Scotch soda
in variable proportions. The best of
them consist chiefly of the former article.
The alkaline matter is reduced to coarse
powder, and stirred up with liquid size or
with a decoction of linseed, Irish moss, or
British gum. 1t is then dried, and again
crushed or powdered, and at once put into
packages, into which it is rammed tight
and covered up Immediately. Really good
soda can be bought at penny pound,
and this is only required to be rendered
partly caustic with little quick-lime in
order to make an excellent washing pow
der.
THERE are a great many things in the
household. attention to which is indis-
pensable to health and happiness. The
kind of air which circulates in house
may seem a small matter, for we cannot
see the air, and not many people know
any thing about it yet, if we do not pro-
vide a regular supply of pure air within
our houses, we shall inevitably suffer for
our neglect. A few specks OF dirt may
seem neither here nor there, and closed
door or window appear to make NIUE uli-
ference but the little dirt and the ntlle
bad air are apt to sow the seeds OF III
health, and therefore ought to be removed.
The whole of the household regulations
are, taken by themselves, trif1es-Dut
trifles tending to an important result.

We should very much like to have
some one who honestly believes that
the United States Government has
no right to interfere in Louisiana,
under Art. ~, Sec. of the Const.,
explain to us what measures would
be lawful and constitutional in a case
where there are two parties about
equally balanced claiming the gov,
ernment of any State. Shall the
United States Government sit idly
by, and allow the matter to be de-
cided by civil war in the State?"
Let us have plain, practical answer,
showing how such cases should be
decided.-Stdte Journal.
The editor of the Bulletin should
wrestle with this question. 1t would,
if honestly undertaken, not only cor
rect his logic in regard to Louisiana
affairs, but the better prepare him,
by study of the constitution, for
the duties of Congressman. His
reading heretofore has been confined
to democratic newspapers, and that
is a poor school for the study of
either constitutional law, or civil and
religious liberty.

SENATOR CoNKLING, of New York
occupied the attention of the U. S.
Senate, on Thursday, in a carefully
prepared speech on Louisiana affairs
ltwas a cutting review of the demo.
cratic policy upon this question.
Here is specimen of his style:
The right of Sheridan had been
challenged in this chamber, to
breathe the free air of the republic,
but should the day come when a de-
generated apostate would judge him
unfit to breathe the free air of this
republic, then we had better burn the
memorials of our forefathers, dance
on the tomb at Mount Vernon and
nlng down the obelisk on Bunker
Hill. Sheridan's sword was not the
stained sword of an assassin. The
blood upon it was of those who tried
10 destroy the fairest fabric of free
government that the world has ever
seen. 1t was the sword of a soldier
who had been fighting that free gov
ernment might not perish from the
face of the earth.
