once asked how she managed to keep

"Oh, should look like other people

said.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

CHICKEN SALAD.-Boil the chicken
until done in as little water as posi-
BILE; when done, cut up into sfnall bits
take half as much celery stalks as
chicken, cut into very thin slices; have
ready 2 hard-boiled eggs; slice the
whites into the chicken, mash and mir
the yelks with tablespoonful of mus
tard stir in half and half vinegar and
| the water in which the chicken was
boiled, as much as needed to cover the
salad, heat to boiling, and pctir over
your chicken and celery.
CARROTS FOR EGGs.-It is not gen.
orally known that boiled carrots, when
properly prepared, form an excellent
substitute for eggs in buildings. They
must, for this purpose, be boiled and
mashed, and passed through coarse
cloth or hair sieve strainer. The pulp
is then introduced among the other in
gradients of the pudding, to the total
omission of eggs. A pudding made MP
in this way is much lighter than where
eggs are used, and is much more pala-
table. On TIC principle of economy,
this fact is worthy the prudent house
wife's attention.
LEMON MINCE MEAT.-Take large
apples, 2 large lemons, 8 ounces of beef
suet, 8 ounces of white sugar, pound
of currants, and ounces of candied
orange and citron; mince the apples and
beef suet fine, add the currants and
sugar, squeeze the juice from the
lemons into cup, and boil the squeezed
lemons till they are tender enough to
beat to pulp; then add them and the
citron cut fine to the mince meat, and
pour the lemon over the whole.
A WHITEwAsH +HAr WILL STAND
EXPOSURE TO THE WEATHER.-Take
bushel of freshly burned lime, slake it
with boiling water; cover it during the
process to keep in the steam. Strain
the liquid through fine sieve, and add
to it pounds of salt previously well
dissolved in warm water; 3 pounds of
ground rice boiled to thin paste and
stirred in boiling hot; pound of pow
dered Spanish whiting; 1 pound OF
clean glue, which has been previously
dissolved by soaking it well, and then
hanging it over slow fire in a small
kettle, within large one, filled with
water. Add gallons of hot water to
the mixture, stir it well and let it stand
a few days covered from dirt. 1t must
be put on quite hot. For this purpose
it can be kept In a kettle on portable
furnace. About pint of this mixture
will cover a square yard.

The OnsprIns of Dyspepsia.

little ones crowded about the windows
in eager curiosity. In an instant sim

Way they met Angelique coming
from the cottage to warn them
of their danger. She was about to turn
and join them in their flight, when the
sight of a small, scared face at the win
dow of the school-house urged her for
ward with increased speed. A little
crippled boy, almost an infant, had been
left in the general terror and flight, aud
could not escape. She reached him,
ciasped him IN hef arms, wrapping her
WOODEN shawl tightly about his diminu-
tive form, and covering her own face,
and started back-too late! When, a
by, Michael Dumain, who was passing
at the time, dashed forward to raise
from the bleckened earth the form of
Ansellque, the sight gone from her
eyes, with only her face and one hand
uhburned- hand which clasped the
child saved by the thick folds of the
shawl.
"It was terrible struggle; but the
good God saved her to us in such poor
shape as you see. And she is thou
sand times more my Angelique to-day
than ever before"
And finishing thus in a low and
tremulous voice, the Father rises
abruptly, and passes out into the little
garden, bec5ming suddenly so interest
ed in a certain tuberose as to necessitate
turning his back upon me, and the pro-
duction of a handkerchief I'd temper,
doubtless, its heavy perfume to his nos

the room, lighting UP the oak ca wing,

and concealing all save her radiant
face. Involuntarily my hands press the
keys again; the pale features catch an

The Prevailing Disease of America,

| The disease receives different names in
various parts Of the country. In some sec.
tions it is called dyspepsia, in others it il
termed liver complaint; sometimes they cal
it kidney disease, and ut others humor in
the blood. The fact is, that all these dis
eases are present to some extent in nearly
every case, and this disease prevails to an
alarming extent throughout the whole land.
Hardly household but what has some in
mate afflicted. We advise those who have
the following symptoms to use an effective
remedy, and eradicate the disease from the
system: There is generally dull pain in
the head, with dizziness at times, foul
breath, bad taste in the mouth, irregular
bowels, poor appetite and imperfect diges-
ton, distressed, all gone feeling like the
gnawing of a cancer in the pit of the stomach,
scanty high cOlOred urine, stagnated blood,
sunken eyes tinged with yellow, skin cold
and clammy, covered sometimes with brown
spots, depressed spirits with evil fOrebOd-
ings, tired, languid feeling, after time a
dry hacking cough, but is followed after a
time with eXpectoration; then wasting
away of the flash, finally night sweats, and
soon death closes the scene. Such is the
brief history of thousands in this country,
and none of Ils can be too quick in using the
remedy. The safest and surest is the SHAKER
