HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

,JTMBLES.-One anu d-udll cups y"

teaspoon soda, one of cream OF tartar
dissolved in little sweet milk, flour
enough to make like pie-crust. Bake
in waffle-irons. Fill the little holes

SOAP suds may be used with great
advantage for manuring grape vines.
Downing says he has seen an Isabella
grape vine produce 5000 fine clusters
of well-ripened fruit in a season, by
the liberal use of manure and soap
suds from the weekly wash. The eff
fects of soap-suds on other plants are
remarkable.
ALL small birds should be well
picked, drawn and wiped inside and
outside, but never wet, as it destroys
their flavor to put them in water.
Stuff with dressing made of bread
crumbs and butter, highly seasoned.
Sew mp the opening and truss like
larger birds. Roast from twenty to
thirty minutes. Serve on toast, and
with currant OF some other acid jelly.
FUCHsIAs require more water than
geraniums and roses, yet it is lmpor-
tant not to give them so much that the
soil becomes sodden, as the small,
fibrous roots will decay if kept too
moist. But if watered twice a week
with weak liquid manures, or with a
tablespoonful of guano, dissolved III a
gallon of hot water, and allowed to
stand until nearly cool, buds will often
appear where nothing but leaves have
been seen for months.-COr. Country

How He Waters the Plants.

ONE of the most melancholy sights
at this season Of the year is the spec
tacie of Il husband and father engaged
in watering plants during his wife's
absence in the country. He remem-
bers her parting injunctionS. She did
not tell him to try and have all the
comfort he possibly could while she
was gone. Nothing of the kind; but
she mentioned with her parting breath
that he was not to leave things round,
and not track dirt into the house, and
not leave the windows open so that
the flies could get in, and not smoke
in the parlor, and not bring gang of
men home with him, and wipe knife
when he has done using it, and keep
all the doors locked, and be sure and
water the plants every day. OF course
he does all these things faithfully. 1t
will make things pleasanter when his
wife gets home. But the watering
plants is sore trial. First he walks
along the path and tries to remember
which ones We're to be watered most.
Then he gets dipperful of water and
pours it all carefully upon the leaves of
aplant, but discovers presently that the
water has not gone near the roots of
the plant, and he starts after more
water with n great deal of energy.
Then he pours a small quantity of
water near a great many plants and
incidentally spills some water into his
slipper. When he thinks the plants
are all sufficiently moistened, woman
comes out of the next house and tells
him that he has not put on half enough
| water, and that he has watered flowers
and weeds with strict impartiality.
Then she sends him for a pailful of
water which he is willing to get, but can
not find a pail until the woman comes in
and shows it to him hanging behind
the door, the only place where he
had not looked. Then he spills water
on the carpet in going to the door, and
knows that his wife will hear all about
it within twelve hours after she gets
home. Then the new mistress tells
him to stoop over and gather a moist,
unpleasant plant in his arms, so that
she can put the water exactly upon
the roots. After while he goes into
the house and sits down, wet, and tired
and muddy, and wonders if he will
have to do it all again next day, and
what makes women like the con-
founded things NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Interesting Story of a Young
GIRLS Adventures.

In the city of Toronto lives widow
named Mary Goodman, who has a
daughter Lizzie. Early in May, 1875,
the girl suddenly disappeared from her
home, and from that time until Satur-
day, although much money and time
were expended in searching for her,
Mrs. Goodman could get no trace. The
story of her sudden disappearance and
subsequent experiences, as told by the
girl, are exceedingly interesting. At
the time of leaving home Miss Good
man was but twelve years old. Her
beauty and accomplishments as vo-
calist had attracted the attention of the
manager of a peripatetic varieties
show, who, by offers of a good salary,
enticed her away from home. After
two months travel she found herself
in Fremont, Ohio, where the show had
broken up, the manager having left
the party penniless and in debt.
Thrown upon her own resources and
afraid to go home, Miss Goodman Sc
cured work as nurse girl in a respecta-
bic family in Fremont, where she
worked nearly six months. Then she
moved to Toledo, where she secured
similar employment and held her place
until last June when she came
to this city. Having little money
she engaged board at cheap lodging
house and set out in search of work.
She met with no success, and at last
found that she was not only out of
work but without money. Still afraid
to write home and not knowing what
to d. she accepted work in Stewart 4
Cameron's saloon, at the corner of
Randolph and Congress streets, where
she worked until last Friday evening.
-Four or five weeks ago officer Ben.
High attracted by the childish appear
ance of the girl, found out where she
boarded and put the landlady on the
trail with the request that she question
her boarder and ascertain something of
her history. The landlady did her part
well, and the result was that High was
soon enabled to correspond with Mrs.
Goodman. Saturday the mother and
daughter were reunited and the morn
ing train for Toronto yesterday bore
homeWard the thankful girl and her
still more thankful mother.-Detroit

hot air and dust are wholly excluded,
and the butter rides to the city and
opens in the market house in as fine
condition as when packed in the spring
house. In just this way, with this de-
gree of skill, is the best Philadelphia
butter made, marked and marketed.
No wonder the Philadelphians would
rather pay seventy-fve cents than go
back from such mamma to the leeks and
onions of the common frkin.- Western

CENTENNIAL JOTTINGS,

THE Corliss engine at the Centen-
NAL has been bought by a European
firm.
THE total value of the Centennial
buildings and their contents is esti-
mated at $1O4, 900, 900.
It's strange, but nevertheless true,
that not a single vacancy has occurred
to date in the Centennial Committee of
jurors on wines.
A VIRGINIA farmer, while blowing
in his field, turned up what he sup
posed to be an old iron pot. He struck
it with a rock and Immediately disap-
peared. His wife has not seen him
since, and she thinks maybe he has
gone to the Centennial Exhibition.
LANDLORDS are still quite rapacious
at some of the Philadelphia hotels.
"What is my bill ?" anxiously asked a
man who had staid over night at one
of them, lately. "Yor bill?" was the
calm reply; chow much money have
you along?" "Twenty-nine dollars"
gasped the innocent and retiring guest.
"Well, that's it-that's your BILL" re-
marked the considerate proprietor.
And as the Centennial visitor started
out on foot for his home in Indiana,
he muttered thoughtfully to himself
$50 this is the way that 'tramps' are
made. '-Chicago Journal.

A New Cure for Drunkenness

\ WHOLESOME lesson was given to a
drunken husband at Preston on
Wednesday by a justly indignant wife.
A man named Trayner, the keeper of
clearinghouse, arrived at his home
on the afternoon of that day, drunk.
After a scrimmage" with his wife he
settled himself comfortably on the
floor, and fell asleep. Mr.. Trayner's
weakness was Mrs. Trayner's opportu-
nifty. Depositing her unconscious hus-
band on the sofa, she placed night
cap on his head, covered his face with
flour and his body with a shroud, which
she borrowed from neighboring shop.
Having decorated the shroud with
flowers, she placed two lighted candles
on table in front of the sofa, and,
seating herself on the doorstep of the
house, aroused the neighborhood by a
melancholy "wail'' for the dead The
house was soon filled with sympathiz-
ing friends and acquaintance, includ-
ing police constable, who came to
have Hook at the corpse. Loud were
the lamentations, when the deceased
man suddenly lifted himself up, and,
with stare that curdled the blood,
and made the flesh of all present creep,
calculated: "What the dickens's up,
now?" The grief of the beholders
was speedily turned into joy, when
they found that drunkenness and not
death had been the cause of Mr.. Tray
ner's insensibility. The position of
that gentleman, however, must for the
moment have been painful in the ex-
IRENE. Embarrassing explanations
ensued, and the affair ended in ga
general spree. Pal Mall Gazette
