DIsH-wAsHING wITHoUTSoAP.-Have
your dish-water hot, and add very little
milk, as this softens the water, gives the
dishes a nice gloss, and preserves the
hands. 1t removes the grease, even that
from beef, and yet no grease is rel
found floating en- the water as when soap
is used. The stone vessels should be set
on a stove with a little water in them
when the victuals are taken from them /;
thus, they are hot when one is ready to
wash them and the grease is easily re-
moved. Tin ware keeps bright longer
cleansed in this way than by using soap
or by securing. The habit SO many have
acquired of securing tins is a wasteful
policy, as the present style of tin ware
will not bear it.
PLAIN CAKE FOR CHMDREN.-When
making bread reserve enough dough to
fill a quart basin; add to the dough one
egg, a piece of butter size of an egg, one
half cup of either English currants
chopped ~raisins, or dried whortleberries
Mix the whole thoroughly with the
hands, adding enough -four to proven
its sticking to the hands. Mold it a
for a loaf of bread set it in a two quar-
basin to rise. When it is level with tn
top of the pan it should be baked like
loaf of bread. The above may be va
ried by adding more sugar, and carawa,
seeds instead of fruit, when the doug
should be rolled out and cut as for cook
les, set to rise in a warm place for hal
an hour, and then bake.
PEACH TAPIecA.-Soak half a pint {
tapioca in half a pint of cold water fc
several hours or over night. Fill
b~aking-dish half full of nice canine
peaches, leaving out the syrup. Sprinkl
sugar over the peaches, to suit the tast,
and bake half an hour. Add a half pir
of the peach syrup to the tapioca, as niue
boiling water as is needed to thin i
and a half teacup of sugar. Boil tn:
till perfectly clear, then pour over th
peaches, and bake slowly for anothe
half hour. When cold serve with sugs
and rich cream.

MANY who are suffering from tla effects Of the
warm weather and are debilitated. are advised by
physicians to take moderate amounts of whisky two
or three times during the day. In q little while
those who adopt this advice frequently increase the
number Of drinks" and in time become confirmed
inebriates. A beverage which will rot create thirst
for intoxicating liquors, and which is intended es-
pecially for the benefit of debilitsted persons,
whether at home or abroad, is DR.. schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic. Containing the juices Of many me-
dicinal herbs, this medicine does not create an ap-
petite for the intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
the life-supporting properties Of many valuable ma
tural productions contained in it and well known to
medical men have q most Strengthening influence.
A single bottle Of the Tonic will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility arising from sick
ness, over-exertion, or from any cause whatever, q
wine glassful of Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals
will strengthen the stomach and create an appetite
for wholesome food. Ts all who are about leaving
their homes, We desire to say that the excellent
effects Of Dr. Schenck's seisonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
evident when taken by those who are injuriously af-
fected by q change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a supply of these
safeguards along For sale by all druggists.

A Murder Disclosed in a Dream.

Isaac Randolph, the negro who MUIR
dered his wife at New Haven in the
spring of 1856, gives notice that he will
apply to the next legislature for re-
lease from the state prison, TO which he
was sentenced for lite. The murder
created great sensation, and the story
OF it is very interesting. He killed the
woman with wash-board during a
quarrel, and probably did not intend to
strike the fatal blow. After the murder,
Randolph cut the body up and buried it
in his garden, planting corn and beans
over the spot. Several days after, Rob
ert Coe, the father of the missing
woman, related with great impressive
ness the particulars of dream which
he had on three successive nights
He said that Mary Ann came to him
crawling on her hands, and when he
asked her why she did not walk, she
replied that she could not, for her legs
had been cut off, Each night she ar
peared to him on the borders Of a small
brook which then ran at the foot of the
garden. At last the garden was exam
ined, and the body was found.-Spring-

Read Your Bible Daily,

The celebrated painter, Benjamin
Robert Hayden, gave the following ad-
mirabe advice Ia his son at very criti-
cal time of his life: ." You are quite
right to read history; make yourself mas
ter of the histories of Greece and Rome.
The English people are in many respects
not unlike the Arminians without their
art, and like the Romans without their
profligacy. Read your Bible daily.
There is no more interesting book in the
world, and it is becoming more necessary
to read and study it, because | already
perceive tendency among our scientific
men, in all their pride of knowledge and
what they call discovery, to set the Bible
aside As an oriental legend. DO not be-
lieve them. The Mosaic account of the
creation is the most simple and the most
natural, and will be found, YOU nav reiy
on it, confirmed by science. when science
has got down to the real facts. General.
ization, founded on our present knowl.
edge of the laws OF nature, is the very
thing which our present acquaintance
with these laws does not Justify. | am
convinced that no thoroughly established
and settled theory will be found to con-
tradict the truths revealed in the Bible.
But you are too young yet for me t.
enter further on the subject. | only
tell you Of it to put you on your guard
You will find many men, old and grown.
up men, who will laugh at the Bible
Don't believe them. Mathematics are
all very well; but the diflerential calcu.
lus, my dear 10y, can never prove or dis.
prove the existence Of God. Read your
Bible, do your duty, and leave the rest

tains family dog about six inches high
and eight inches long. The said dog
ney tried to eat any one up until yes
terday, when he attacked pedestrian
and nipped his leg. The pedestrian at
once called the owner of the dog out
doors and demanded damages.
"Whar's de proofs OF de bite?" in
quired the colored man.
Right there" replied the victim,
exhibiting a black and blue spot.
"And what's de damages
Give hundred dollars."
"Shoo! You can have the dog for a

the man who was on the negative side
carefully fixed his chair leg, on two bars
of the grating over which it stood, and
they began to talk very earnestly.
Things went on all right till, getting ex-
cited, the man on the grating said:
81 tell you, if ever specie payment is
resumed there will be the greatest fall, "
and then he gave his chair hitch and il
settled back as though its hind legs had
sort Of struck in, and il went back so far
that he shot out over the left hand side
and bit his cigar in halves and skinned
his elbow. When he got up he had for
gotten the thread of his narrative, and
observing, too, the bland appearance of
the bystanders, he suddenly remembered
that he'd got to catch that car, and he
went and caught it.-Detroa Free Press.

thusiast upon the subject of ballooning,
sent to the select and common councils
last Thursday proposition to illumin.
ate the city on the Fourth of July, from
an altitude of about five hundred feet,
by means of an "air-ship" and calcium
lights and refectors, for the modest re-
muneration of $3.50. The Sunday World
interviewed him on Saturday, and was
shown diagram of the vessel, which the
inventor explained. Tbs "ship," which
is now in course of construction, is to be
one hundred and thirty feet long, fifty
feet high, and fifty feet through the
center. The inner balloon is of twill
muslin, of which it contains one thou
sand eight hundred yards, while the outer
balloon, which covers one-third of the
inner and forms a parachute in case of
accident, is of eight-ounce canvas duck.
The boat underneath the balloon is made
of wire, is seventy-fve feet long, five feet
high, and is upheld horizontally by wires.
She has three rudders, one at either side
amidships and one large one aft. Her
propelling power is a pulling fan, or
screw, in the bow, which will be driven
up to two hundred revolutions per min
ute, if necessary, by teu-horse "hydro-
carbon engine" which can be driven fer
twenty-four hours on one gallon. The
whole apparatus, including the gas, will
weigh four thousand five hundred and
eighty pounds, and the lifting power of
the ship will he twenty-seven thousand,
for the hydrogen gas Mr.. Shredder in
tends to use has an elevating power of
one and one-quarter ounces per cubic
toot. the weight of the four thousand
two hundred and eighty cubic feet of gas
employed being one pound. For ilu-
minating purposes the inventor proposes
to have ten first class silver-plated re-
fectors, ten feet each in diameter, sus-
pended from the car, in which will he
the apparatus of the calcium lights. Mr..
Shredder is most sanguine of success, and
declares that from height of five or six
hundred feet he will illuminate an area
of four miles. If the councils accept
Mr.. .Shroeder's offer, and the air-ship
should happen to prove success and
obey its inventors will, the centennial
exhibition will have added to it feature
that will attract the attention Of the
whole scientific World.

THE PHENOMENA OF DEATH.
Under what Gircu instances the Final
Dissolution May be n Pleasure.
New York Sun.


DIR. Frederic r. Marvin gave the
library club last evening a physicians
view of death, his subject being The
Physiology OF Death" The history of
death embraces three periods, the fabu-
lous, the superstltious, and the philo-
sophical. The fabulous was in mytho-
logical times, in which death was per-
sonified as goddess Mors, the glance of
whose eye was fatal the superstitious
era was that long period in which death
was regarded as an instantaneous change;
a stroke that came and cut off life from
the whole body at once. Ours is the
philosophical age.
The lecturer had experimental on
dogs, to discover the order of time in
which the senses die. To one dog he
gave arseneous acid. The second died
instantly upon his introducing needle
into the medulla oblongata; and the
third he bled to death. In the last, the
order of death was, sight, taste, smell,
hearing, touch; which established the
fact that senses disappeared in the same
order as they do in sleep.
The human body is an aggregation of
cells. Life is the augmentation of these
cells death their disintegration. Each
cell dies for itself. Every moment cells
are springing into life. Every moment
cells are dying. Our bodies are COM
posed of these little points. Take them
away and there is nothing left of us but
the connecting shreds There are dead
cells in your body, and when you are
dead, there will for some time continue
to be living ones. We shall all at some
time be resolved into carbonic acid,
water, and the mineral elements.
The whole surface of our globe, said
the speaker. has been dug over one hun
dred and twenty eight times TO bury its
dead, even not reckoning the long age of
the world which is given it by modern
science, and we inhale, we feed upon
elements, the very atoms, that have been
living human beings before. The dead,
he continued, live again, and we greet
them in the perfume of the city, in the
thousand leaves of the forest.
Death, the doctor says, is painless.
There is no moment in our lives in which
molecular death is not going on in u.s.
The last words of multitude of persons
indicate that mere disintegration is pain
less. To die of cold, after the first agony
is over, is luxury. so is drowning.
The smileof death, the placidity of death,
comes to all features after the rigor NOR
lis. That is over in three days.

"Unitcd Italy" Not All as Nice
as II Sounds.

From Augustus j. C. Hare's New Book, on Italy.
The abolition of the religious insttu-
tions has been grievously felt throughout
the county, and there are few even of
the friends of Italian unity who have
not had personal reason TO experience its
injustice. When "Days near Rome "
appeared, one of the reviews regretted
that its author should not rejoice that
Italians were no longer called upon
"to support swarms of idlers in vest
ments and hordes of sturdy beggars in
rags" This is exactly what Italians,
with regard 10 the old ecclesiastical in
stitutions, were not called upon to do.
The converts and monasteries were richly
endowed; they had no need of being
supported. II was, on the contrary,
rather they who supported the needy,
the sick, the helpless and the blind
among the people, who received their
daily dole of bread and soup from the
convent charities When the marriage
portions of the nuns were stolen by the
government, there was scarcely any fam
lily of the upper classes throughout CEN
trail Italy who did not suffer; for almost
all had a sister, aunt or cousin "in Ie-
ligion " upon whom portion of 81 900,
f5,000, or fl0,000 had been bestowed,
and who was thrown back helpless upon
their hands, her fortune confscated, and
with an irregular paid pension of few
pence day, quite insufficient for the
most miserable subsistence. The En-
gish press is slow to see the injustice of
these things when it affects other nations.
1t is strange that it should not see it as
affecting Englishmcn, as in the case of
the large tract of land which was pur-
chased by the Rev. L. Douglass, upon
the Equiline and which was confscated
by the government on the plea that it
had been used for religious purposes.
Those who declaim so loudly upon the
advantages of Italian unity are often un-
aware of the extreme difference which
exists between the people and the Ian
guage in the north and south of Italy
that Venetian would not in the least
he able TO understand Neapolitan, and
vice versa. The difference often comes
out when the absurd rcd-tapeism of the
government is put into action. For in
stance, when the heat makes it impossi-
BILE for the troops in Naples and Palermo
TO support their winter clothing, the sol
diers shiyering on the icy streets o
Parma and Piacena are put into brown
holland, because throughout Omitted
Italy" the same order must take effect.
