household Helps.

SPICE CAKE.-Take teacup of butter,
two pounds of brown sugar, and three
eggs, beat all well together then add a
half cup of sour milk, with teaspoonful
of soda in; then two t~easpoonfuls of
each, ground cloves, cinnamon, allspice,
and one nutmeg; then two and two
third cups of flour; last of all, two cups
chopped raisins. Bake in a slow oven,
and you will have an excellent cake and
one that will last through hot weather.
And here allow me to tell you, if raisins
are put in a cake the last thing and
stirred only just enough to mix, your
raisins will not fall to the bottom Of the
cake. Use the above recipe-omitting
the milk-dissolve soda in a little hot
water, and you will have very nice
cookies.
STRAWBERRY BLANC MANGE.-For a
quart of strawberries take four ounces
of white sugar; crush the strawberries
with a silver spoon and mix them we'll
with the sugar. In four hours strain
them through a sieve. In a pint of
boiling milk dissolve two ounces of gela-
tine, add to it four ounces of sugar, strain
through a bit of muslin, and mix with
it one and one-fourth pints of cream, stir
till nearly cold, then add the strawber-
ries gradually, beating the two quickly
together; then drop in a little at a time
the Juice of one lemon. Butter a mold,
pour the mixture in, and set in a cold
place over night.
APPLE CHARTREUsE.-In a quart of
milk boil till tender half a pound of rice
with four ounces of sugar. Pare seven
good-sized apples, and take out the cores
without opening them through. Put in
each apple some kind of jam and fill
with cream. Putin a deep dish and ar
range the rice round them, leaving the
tops of the apples uncovered, make the
whole smooth, and frost with the white
of an egg well beaten; sift sugar wei it
and bake forty minutes.

Mr.. Blasne,s sickness.

A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Commercial says that about noon, on June
II, a rumor was started around town that
Hon. James G. Blaine was dying. The
news struck all classes and parties with sur.
prise, and was the source of universal re-
greet. The hotel corridors soon became a
scene of earnest discussion and large
gatherings, and every atom of information
was quickly digested.
1t appears that Mr.. Blaine, who is a man
of powerful build and great endurance,
besides a strong nervous system, had rather
overworked himself for the past month, and
some of his friends feared disastrous con-
sequences to his health, especially as he was
quite i'll when he commenced his recent CAM
paign in Congress. On Saturday night
he was feeling better than he had felt for o
long time. Sunday morning he felt strong
and cheerful, and prepared to
his wife to church. Before going, how
ever, he received a dispatch to the effect
that his friend, Hon. E. r. Hoar, of Massa.
chusetts, had changed front and was going
to do all he could to defeat him at Cincin-
natl. This seemed to distress him greatly,
and Mrs. Blaine says it seemed to affect him
more han anything else that had occurred
during the canvass
They walked quietly to the Congregational
Church, corner of Tenth and G streets, and
Just as they mounted the steps Mr..
Blaine pulled out his handkerchief and
wiped his forehead and eyes, and sat down
on the top step leading to the church. He
told Mrs. Blaine that the back of his head
panied him, and he believed he was
about to be sun-struck. He asked that
he be taken home, and that DIR. Pope, the
family physician, be sent for. Mrs. Blaine
sent for a carriage, but there was none in
the neighorhood. He laid his head on Mrs.
Blaine's lap, perfectly helpless, and soon
became unconscious. Fortunately there
was an omnibus in front of the church, and
some gentlemen on the spot lifted him into
it, and took him comfortably home. When
he got to the house a sofa wal rolled out
into the hall. When he returned to con-
seriousness, he looked at the sofa, and said
to Mr.. D. c. Forney: "No; put me down on
the floor" He was laid on the floor until
a bed was brought down stairs and put in
the front parlor. He was put in the bed,
still unconscious, and remained there a sui.
ferer from about eleven in the morning till
four o'clock in the afternoon.

GENERAL SMITH, an engineer of some

money for his work until it is finished.

Specialffes i'm Medicine.

We publish on our eighth page a lengthy
article describing the system of the noted
specialist, DR.. &. v. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, in which he sets forth with considerable
force and clearness his reasons for devoting
his whole time and attention to a single de-
partment of medicine-the treatment oflin-
gering chronic diseases. The SAINT article
also takes up the subjects of diagnosis,
methods of consultation and treatment, ETC.,
and will be found to contain many valuable
hints to the invalid. DR.. Pierce is the author
of a work that has already attained q large
circulation-"The Peoples Common Sense

hundred ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pages, and
devoted to medicine in all its branches, a
work well calculated for the guidance and

CONDITION OF BUSINESS.

Dun, Barlow & Co. have Just issued
their annual circular, from which it ap-
pears that during the year 1875, there were
seven thousand seven hundred and forty
failures, with S20l ,060, 352 liabilities,
being twenty-five hundred and fifty-seven
more failures than in 1878, but with some
twenty seven and half millions of dollars
less liabilities. The average liabilities in
1875 were 1926, 800 to failure, and in 1878
S44 ,0S2 The failures in Vermont in 1875
were sixty-three, with liabilities SIZE, 700 :;
in 1874 thir,y-six failures, liabilities $780,
900 in 1873, twenty-one failures, liabili-
ties $35O,000 in 1872, thirty failures,
Liabilities $299, 900 in 1871, twenty-five
failures, liabilities $3.50, 600 making for
the five years one hundred and seyeniyfyc
failures with S2,013,7O0 liabilities.
The proportion OF the failures for the
whole country, during the past year, has
been one to every eighty-two traders, a
higher per centage than usual while in
California where business is transacted on
gold basis, the number Of failures is one
to every forty-two traders and in Canada,
with low tariff, light taxation and bank
ing on a gold foundation, the failures have
been one to every twenty-cight traders.
