ONE OF THE PRINCIPALS SIZED WITH CRAMPS,
AND TIE CONTEST ENDED.
About two hundred persons assembled yesterday
afternoon at McCluskey's Park, Bath, l.. l. to wit
a swimm ing match between George H. Wade and
"Proiessor" Joseph RI. Van Buren. The prize was
$780, and tho distance mile Both contestants are
not unknown TO famo expert swimmers, and lively
anticipated by the visitors A refreshing
breeze blew across the waters OF the bay In
front of McCluskey's Park, making tho course
somewhat rough. Wade had much moro flesh
weighing 1i5 pounds IN his white and blue tights.
while Van Buren tipped the scale at 1856 The men
have hgured IN other matches, but encountered
one other before. Last summer adc ou swam one
TO Hoboken, while Van Burcn ~ understood TO have
dstaDced his man half dozen times within tho past
few years
Shortly before FIVE o'clock the swimmers arranged
prelminaries and started out ia a small boat. j. Gid
dons, OF Brooklyn, acted as referee, while X. lie
Smart acted IN the same capacity for Wade. When
about one mile from the shore the word
gwen and the men plunged into the briny wafer.
After eight minutes elapsed thoy were neck ana
within lew feet OF each other, when n cry from
Van Buren, "Hclpl Hepi | am sinking" one OF
the boats, which wisely Kept within few yards OF tho
contestants came to the drowning mans assistance,
and no was speedily hauled from his perlous position.
He shivered convusively on being drawn into tho
boat when IL found that he had been seized with
severe cramps In his lett Lex. Tho boat being pro-
PEELED rapidly TO the shore, Van Buren carried
the hotel and rostoravos applied. He recovered In
few minutes and went homo with hts wife and two
children, who came down to witness tho match
Wade took things easy and swan the course
thus winning tho stakes The mishsp to Van Buren,
spoiled what promised to DO close and exciting race.

This is delicate, quite snowy dish, easy to
make, and good when it is DONE. 1t needs

flavor; pare, quarter. and remove the cores
stew in bright tin or enameled saucepan,
with sugar to taste, and little cinnamon; as
soon as the apples are done through, having
kept the quarters as whole as possible, turn
them into pudding-dish, being careful moi
to break them up. While the apples are
cooking, get the meringue pronounce it al,

dish, use the whites of four eggs, beaten to a
firm froth, four ounces of sugar, and flavor
with lemon; spread this over the apples in the
the dish, set the dish in the oven, and bake
until the surface is well and evenly Drowned.
Serve hot for dessert, bnt some prefer to let
it get cold and eat it with cream.

To SfiHpm Linen.

Such articles as collars cuffs. etc, which re,
in the following way: Mix tablespoonful of
starch with enough cold water to make it
smooth, then turn on enough boiling water and
boil it ten minutes; then add bit of white wax
the size of three cent pice and a teaspoonful
of alcohol. The spirit is to increase the stiff.
ness and help to retain it. The wax is to pre-
vent the starch from sticking to the iron. II
the hat-iron stll sticks to the starch, rub hard
soap gently over the bottom of the iron. Put
the collars, cuffs, etc., iuto tin pan and place
ia warm spot by the stove or range, to be-
come very dry before putting away.

To Prepare squash for Pies.

1.-THE following comes from "B. l.. J.,"
Burlington Co. The method is well suited
to the Hubbard and other hard-shelled, long
keeping squashes, and is equally useful for
the table. Ed My plan is to saw squash
in half, clean out the seeds, &C., then place
open end down in pan containing an inch
or two of boiling water, placing small STRIPS OF
wood or thick wire underneath them, SO that
the edge will not burn on the pan. Let it
steam until thoroughly tender. The flesh Of
the squash is then easily scraped out with a
desirable, though it is not necessary, there
being no hard Jumps in it. By this plan none
of the aroma of the squash is lost, while it
reduces the labor Of preparation. Another
plan is to take the two halves after cleaning
from seeds, &C., join them together, and
join them together, and bind firmly with
Irvine, and place In the oven to bake until
tender. There is little, if any difference in
the result, but give the preference to the
first method as being much the easiest

What is n Salnie

"Mrs. W. j." The regular "salmi' of
French cookery, is a sort of stew made from
the remains of game. The meat is all care
fully cut from the bones, and these are pound
ed into small bits and cooked to make gravy
or sauce. The bones are strained out. the
sauce variously seasoned-usualy wine added
and then the bits of meat warmed up in it.
In our restaurants very indefinite mixture,
and not very delicate one, is served under
the high sounding name of Saint. If you
made it at home, you would call it stew or a
hash, as there was or less gravy with it. Very
good it is when properly made at home,
and served on slices of toast as breakfast

To Kxtinguish Kerosene Flames.

One of the most ready means is to throw a
cloth of some kind over the flames and thus
stihe them; but as the cloth is not always con-
venient to the kitchen, where such accidents
are most likely to occur, some one recommends
flour as a substitute, and which it is said
promptly extinguishes the flames. 1t rapidly
absorbs the fluid, deadens the flame, and can
be readily gathered up and thrown out of doors
when the fire is out.

Cure for a FelOn.

Take some spirits of turpentine in cup, dip
the finger in it, and then hold the hand near a
hot fire till dry; dip it in again and repeat for
fifteen minutes, or till the pain ceases. Next
day with sharp knife pare off the thick skin,
and you will find something like honey comb,
filled with clear water; open the cells, and the
felon is gone. If the felon is too far gone for
turpentine, oil of organum will cure.

CATARRH.

This is the destructive and terrible stage of the
disease. The whole nasal passage including the eyes
and ears, the tonsils, throat bronchial tubes and
lungs become one after another, affected, infamed
monster. A peculiar acid is generated and set at
liberty by this disease, which, permeating the blood,
weakens and destroys its renovating power, and al
lows the system opportunity to throw off the mall
ady until this poison is neutrazed and expelled. 1t
is here that constitutional treatment becomes of the
most vital consequence "because unless arrested at
this stage the disease will make rapid progress
towards pulmonary consumption" = Wdrven's
Household Physician. Meanwhile soothing, heal
ing and astrngent medicine must be applied directly
to the nasal passages this forming the most perfect
treatment of the disease possible.
