COFFEE IN THE VIENNA FAsHION.-The
two gill measure, level full Of ground
coffee (three ounces); the same OF cold
coffee or water; one egg, shell, yolk
and white, mixed together in bowl.
Rinse out your coffee boiler with boil
ing water, put this in, and pour over 1t
three pints of fiercely boiling water. or
two pints if you wish 1t strong. Close
the spout and lid closely, and boil
fifteen or twenty minutes; pour in
about four small tablespoonfuls Of cold
water to settle it.
Rinse out the coffee urn with boiling
water before pouring the coffee in.
"The boiled milk" for the coffee must
be fresh and new, not merely warmed,
or even brought to the boiling point,
but slowly simmered in farina boiler,
till IL attains thick, creamy richness; ;
then it must be sent to the table in
hot cream pitcher to keep it warm. The
whipped cream" is made by pouring
a cup full of rich cream into deep
bowl, holding the chnrn about quarter
of an inch from the bottom, and churn-
ing it we'll. As fast as the stiffened
frOth rises to the top of the cream, skim
it off with spoon, keep it cool, and
send it to the table in bowl. Put into
each cup the desired amount of sugar, q
tablespoon full or so of the boiled milk,
pour on the coffee and place on top
large spoon full of the whipped cream.
Give a gentle stir TO each cup before
sending them round. Do not grind the
coffee too fine. A heaping tablespoon
full of the ground is liberal allowance
for each person. and weighs half an
ounce.

As MANY housewives have trouble in
keeping their yeast sweet aud good,
they will be glad TO learn how they can
at all times have good reliable yeast
that will keep for weeks, and which
makes good, light bread. Yeast made
after the following recipe will never
fail, if the directions are followed. Take
a small handful Of hops and boil in a
quart of water for an hour, or until the
hops become sticky. Strain of the liquor
and let it cool somewhat, add then a
teaspoOnful of sugar and two even tea
spoonfuls of iiOur and pour into stone
jar or pitcher and cover with a cloth.
Let this stand three or four days and it
will be ready for use. When bread is
TO be made, peel and boil four or five
medium sized potatoes, and when done
mash them and add TO the pulp enough
of the water in which the potatoes were
boiled to reduce il to a batter; add two
teaspOonfnls of flour, one of sugar and
good half cup OF hop mixture, mix
and set as ordinary yeast. 1t will take
six or eight hours to rise. Use as ordi-
nary yeast. The hop liquor will make
good bread; but il is best to add the
potatoes, as they keep the bread from
becoming too dry.

NICE LOT OE LAWYERS.

A gentleman in attendance at the
County Court yesterday desired to make
use of the commandment "Thou shalt
not steal" in paper he was preparing,
but, as he was uncertain whether it was
the seventh or eighth of the ten, he made
diGgent inquiry of the lawyers present
for information on the subject. To his
utter surprise, not a member of the bar
or officer of the court in the room could
tell positively the number of the COM
mandment referred to. One thought it
was the ninth, another the seventh, an
other the third, and only one SAID he
believed it was the eighth, but he was
not sure The question was finally set
tied by referring to the Bible in posses
sion of County Clerk Reynolds.
Such lack of biblical knowledge on the
part of the members of the Rensselaer,
county bar is deplorable, to say the
least, particularly as the text quoted ap-
plies with such pertinence to their pro-
fession.- Trou Times

A LIB ERIL DOUCEUR

A New York waiter gives his expert
ence as follow: ;'The biggest I ever
got was one day after Tweed, Connolly,
Hall, and two lawyers had been in No.
for five hours. I stayed three hours after
my time was up to tend to 'em. Mr..
Hall he slipped something into my hand.
1t wss three S5-bills. / ran down stairs
quick. Can I speak to you, sir?' says
I to Mr.. Hail. Certainly, Williams,
says ne; what's up?' Then I told him
I feared he had made mistake, and
HANDED him the three fves. He lever
said word, opened his wallet, took out
a bill, rolled it over the three fves, hand
ed 'en to me, put his finger on his nose,
and walked away to the door. He had
rolled tenner over the fves.'

LION-TAMERs HEROISM.

Perhaps the most magnificent act of
heroism ever performed in this vicinity
was witnessed durn.g the performance
of Forepaugh's circus at Reno, on Sat
urday last. The lion tanner was giving
an exhibition of his control over the fe-
ro ious brutes under his charge, and
suddenly he was observed to turn pale
and tremble The largest lion of the six
in the cage had displayed unusual sullen
ness and anger, and now refused to obey
his master With glaring eyes it
crouched in the corner, and evidently
meditated spring. The trainer recov-
cred his self-possession in moment,
and, keeping his eye firmly fixed upon
that of the huge beast, dealt him ter
rife Low with his raw-hide over the
face. With fierce snarl the infuriated
lion bounded forward. Catching one of
it's open jaws in either hand, the power
full man held the brute off for desper-
ate moment by main strength. An cleo
tric thrill of horror ran through the
crowd, which surrounded the cage in an
instant. The beasts in the other dens
shrieked and roared in chorus. 1t is in
moment like this that the real heroic
element asserts itself. Without turning
his head in the least the brave man firm
ly whispered, "Pass me q small boy"
One was instantly seized and crowded
through the bars. With one superhu-
man effort the trainer thrust the boy in
to the hot, closing jaws, and then bounded
lightly aside. A snarl, few savage
crunches, and the beast turned again for
his prey. But the hero was gone The
door snapped behind him, and gasping
"Saved l'' he tainted in the arms of a
cheering concourse. A handsome sub
scription was raised on the spot, and
when the audience dispersed it was with
tears of emotion in their eyes. A brave
soul had beep rescued from a horrible
death-another small boy had been
wiped out.-San Francisco Post.

C4SSIUS NJ. CLAY.

Mr.. Clay, who shot negro near Rich
mond, KY, last Sunday, was one of the
early abolitionists, and as he lived in
Kentucky he had reason to be an ex-
tremely resolute man. If the negro
thief whom he shot had known much
about him he would not have ventured
to attack him. It seems that the negro
hid from Clay with the probable pur-
pose of lying in wait for him Clay got
off his horse, walked up to the man, told
him to fling up his hands, which he did
and, after giving him a lecture on his
course, told him to remain where he was
without moving until he, Clay, should
get into his saddle again. This he prom
ised, but as soon as Mr.. Clay's back was
turned made for him, whereupon he was
shot down.
Cassius NJ. Clay was once very thor
oughly hated in Kentucky, but at the
same time universally respected as an
utterly brave and honorable man, with
whom it was not well to trife. In the
old abolition days it happened once that
a Methodist preacher, weakly man in
poor health, thought it his duty to de-
liver an anti-slavery address in the heart
of Kentucky. The intention was an
nounced, the day and place being widely
advertised but the minister received
prompt notice from citizens okat be
would not be allowed to speak, and ac-
cordingly did not attempt to do SO.
| Clay was in Ohio when he heard of the
circumstance he returned at once to
Kentucky, gave notice that on set day,
at the same place, the preacher would
deliver his anti-slavery address, and that
Col. Cassius M. Clay would be there to
preside and keep order. A great meet
ing assembled in the open air and there
were symptoms of violence, when Mr.
Clay arose and explained that he meant
to see that the brother had an oppor
tunity to speak. He warned those who
did not want to hear him to go off
to deliver his address, and the first mai
who interrupts him viii have to dea
with me-" The speech was made with
out interruption the Kentucky admi-
ration for Clay's courage overcoming the
propensity to hang an abohtionist, and
the roughs in the crowd knowing verJ
well that if Clay said he would shoot ht
was certain to do it. That is what the
negro thief ought to have known.-Neu

Il FOOLISH 1MBI1ION.

No farmers wife, however hard her
lot, need envy the career of a woman OF
fashion, for hers is a slavish and unsat-
isfactory life. Her highest ambition IS
to outshine her rivals in dress, and to
attract the admiration of crowd of fop-
pish beaux. 1t does not take much pen
etration to see that the silks and furbe-
lows of a fashionable society woman u.s.
ually cover an intellect as shallow as q
mountain brook, and heart as cold as
frog. Diamonds and trails may grace
the frivolous life of fashionable water
ing-place, but every sensible woman
knows that they are out of place on the
farm.

THAT STONE MIN.
4It astonishing Discovery in Colorado
Is 1t Findv on. a 1" PIdnt?'
he Ne1u York

IsIta Grind" or a "I'lantov
From the New York Graphic.l
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pue-
bio have recently been much excited
over the discovery of stone maj" P" by
Mr.. W. A. Conant, of Colorado Springs.
Mr.. Conant has been for some months
engaged in searching for geological speci-
mems, in the shape of petrifactions, in
the hills about twenty-five miles south
west of Pueblo.
A little more than week ago, while
| sitting on a stone eating a lunch, his at
tention was attracted by what seemed to
be some little stone points sticking out
of the ground. Upon removing the
earth little more, he discovered what
he at once decided was petrifed human
foot. Of course he continued his dig
ging, and finally unearthed a human fig
and almost entirely perfect in every par
hcular. In the excitement of the dis
oovery he broke the head and q portion
Of the shoulders off while removing it,
but the fracture being clean one, with
out chips or fragments, the broken por-
ton was easily replaced, and the figure
is as complete now as when found.
This new wonder weighs about 600
pounds, is feet inches long; the Cir
cumference of head is % inches, the
measurement from ear to ear IN front IA,
base of head to forehead II inches, nose
81 inches long, circumference of neck
| 49, inches, breadth of shoulders, front,
23B inches, from shoulder to tip of fing-
ers 48 inches, leg As inches, foot13 inch
es long and 5 inches wide.
The head is turned slightly
to the left; the right arm is
thrown across the breast, with the hand
lying near the left shoulder. The right
leg is somewhat drawn up. The right
| foot is perfect the toes of the left are
partially gone. The left arm is extended
down the side, the hand lying on the
leg. The forehead is very low, at once
suggesting the ape the back part of
the head is immensely developed. The
nose is almost perfect, small portion
of one side only being gone. The nos.
tril is distended and the lips protrude.
| The chin is large, but does not pro-
trude. The cheek-b bones are high and
Indian-like. The ears are perfect and
flat to the head. The eyes are full.
The neck is small in proportion to the
size of the head and body. The arms,
and particularly the hands, are long,
the latter being 123 inches, while the
longest finger is inches. The feet are
broad, spreading greatly from the heel
to the toes. The toes are of remarkable
length the great toe is a Uery plain
! thumb. But the strangest thing of all
is tail, or stump of tail, 3 inches
long and II inches in diameter. The
whole figure seems to be made of a sort
of light brown sandstone. Upon the
application of su1phuric acid efferves-
cence took place, while the result was a
sort of dark mud containing small
grains of sand The 'stone man" for
that is the name which seems to have
fastened to this object of interest, was
on exhibition for a day in Pueblo and
also in Colorado Springs. What Mr..
Conant proposes to do eventually with
his "man" is yet unknown.

A BR4TE HEROINE.

The heroine of Noyen, France, is a
servant girl. a common sewer of great
depth had been opened for repairs, and
four men, passing that way in the dark,
fell in. It was not until midnight that
their perilous situation became known.
The poor wretches were already suffo-
eating from a poisonous vapor; their
meanings were heard, and their wives
and children, frantic with grief, be-
sought the bystanders for aid !; but
among all the stalwart men who gathered
around the hole there was not one brave
enough to go down and rescue his fellow
creatures. Catherine Vasseur, lass of
II. volunteered to descend into the pit
She was lowered down, and, fastening a
rope around two of The men, they were
drawn out by the effsrts of those above.
Again she descended and fastened a rope
around the body OF thir1 man, but he r
strength began to fail her. Painting
from foul air and exhaustion, she had
sufficient presence of mind to knot the
end with her own luxuriant tresses, 50
that when the dastardly fellows above
drew the man to the surface they found
the all but inanimate body of the young
girl swinging by her hair to the end of
the rope Fresh air and stimulants re-
stored her to consciousness, but not IN
time to enable her to save the fourth
man, who perished in the pit.
