The RIGHT WAY TO Boil EGGs-There is
an objection to the common way of boiling
eggs, which people do not understand. 1t
is this: The white, under three minutes
cooking, becomes tough and indigestible,
while the yolk is still soft When properly
cooked, eggs are done evenly through like
any other food. This result may be
attained by putting the eggs into dish
with cover, as tin pail, and then pouring
upon them boiling water, two quarts oil
more to a dozen eggs, and cover and sci
away from the stove fifteen minutes. The
heat of the water cooks the eggs slowly
evenly and sufficiently, to jelly-like con
sistency, leaving the centre or yolk harde
than the white, and the eggs taste mucl
richer and nicer.

A Coon MEMORY.-The Richmond (Va.)
Dispatch says that a young lady belonging
to the minister's class of Fulton Baptist
church Sunday school in that city recited
on Sunday morning the whole of the
Psalms and a portion of Ecclesiastes,
making 1000 verses in all, which she had
committed to memory during the week.
Seven thousand verses were recited in the
class of which she was a member. The same
young lady rected on the Sunday previous
nearly 1000 verses, comprising Romans,
Galatians. Philippians, and one or more OF
the smaller books of the New Testament.
The class is contending for a prize, to be
given to the one who recites the greatest
number of verses in given time.

ANMOxIA.-NO housekeeper should be
without a bottle of spirits of ammonia for
besides its medical properties 1t Is lnvalua-
ble for household purposes. 1t Is nearly as
useful as soap, and its cheapness brings 1t
within the reach of all. Put teaspoonful
of ammonia in quart of warm soapsuds,
dip cloth in it and go over your sOiled
paint and see how rapidly the dirt will dis
appear. No scrubbing will be necessary.
1t will cleanse and brighten wonderfully.
TO pint of hot suds add a teaspoonful of
the spirits, dip in your forks and spoons,
Tor whatever you have to clean,) rub with
soft brush and then finish with a chamois
skin. For washing windows and mirrors
it has no equal. 1t will remove grease spots
from every fabric without injuring the
garment. Put on the ammonia nearly
clear, lay blotting paper over and set hot
iron on it for moment. Also few drops
in water will cleanse and whiten laces and
muslins beautifully. A few drops in bowl
of water, if the skin be oily, will remove all
greasiness and disagreeable odors. Added
10 a foot bath it entirely absorbs all noxious
smells, and nothing is better to move dan
druff from the hair. For cleaning hair and
nail brushes it is equally good.
For heartburn and dyspepsia, the
aromatic spirits of ammonia is especially
prepared; ten drops of which, taken in {
wine-glass of water, will give relief.
For house plants, five or six drops t.
every pint of water, once a week, will make
them flourish. 1t is also good to cleanse
plant jars. So be sure and keep bottle o
il in the house, and have glass stopper, a

1t was discovered in Chicago on Friday
morning that Frank Campblos, a member
of the Board of Trade, had withdrawn his
nearly 100000 bushels of wheat unpaid for;
He was "bull " on the market, and
bought largely during the recent rise, and
his loss on the whole purchase was to 8
cents per bushel. 1t is supposed he has
gone to California. The members who lost
by his dishonesty were compelled to throw
a large quantity of wheat on the market
and this caused rapid decline.

Saturday. One gentleman crossing She
tucket street saw neatly wrapped pack
age lying on the crOsswalk, but was too
sharp to pick it up, and merely smiled at
the harmless sell and passed on. When he
saw boot black stop and undo it and take
out box of fine cigars that some one had

which may be in the hymn book, though
we never saw it there, and sat down and
wrote his mother that he was lonely and
