CocoANUT BREAD PUDDNG.-Soakh half
cup of desiccated cocoanut in boiling
hot milk for half an hour or more then
add it to the usual bread pudding prepa-
ration (the quantity of the bread being
about three times as much as the cocoa
nutl. Enrich and flavor to suit. This
you will find to be very pleasant and
economical dessert.
RICE CoFFEE.-This is q good food for
children who are suffering with summer
complaints, and is made by browning the
grains of rice like coffee, and afterward
boiling them It is not unpalatable,
very nourishing, and can be made any
strength that is required. With the adj
dition of sweet cream and loaf sugar, a
child of 2 or years will require no 9TH
er food until the disease is removed.
Too GREAT care of the health at this
period Of the year cannot be exercised
Because few days are open, bright and
warm. all the windows in the house
should not be thrown open, the fires put
out or fannels thrown aside. It is oct
ter to err on the safe side, and endure
the discomfort than by free exposure to
| invite pneumonia and other diseases COM
mon during the damp weather of late
spring.
Do NOT put your plants out into the
ground thinking to re-pot them in the
fall. Either prepare your plants for the
house next winter, or set the old ones
out in the pots, sinking them to the rims
in the earth, and closing the holes in the
bottoms of the pots to prevent the roots
of the plants from running through into
the soil below Such plants can be re-
moved without danger of loss of a single
leaf, and they will make splendid show
on the benches.
! Now THAT frlrs are about to be laid by
until next winter, the following plan for
preserving them from moths may be use

camphof, and one ounce of powdered
shell of red pepper; nlacerate in eight
ounces of strong alcohol for eight days,
and then strain. Sprinkle the furs and
clothes with this tincture and roll up in
sheets. This remedy is used in Russia
under the name of ' Chinese tincture for
moths" and is found very effective.
The following simple method Of keep
ing ice water in a common pitcher is
worth knowing. Place between two
sheets of paper (newspaper will answer,
thick brown is better) layer of cotton
batting about half an inch in thickness;
fasten the ends of paper and batting to-
gether, forming a circle, then sew or paste
a crown over one end, making a box the
shape of a stove pipe minus the rim.
Place this over All ordinary pitcher filled
with ice-water, making it deep enough to
rest on the table. so as to exclude the
air, and you will be astonished at the
length of time this ice will keep, and the
water remain cold after the ice is melted.
RIDING THIRTY MILES TO GET
MARRIED.
Reuben Weldon, of Harrison town
ship, in company with Miss Media
Groves, the daughter of Samuel Groves,
went on horseback last Thursday, to Ell
der Pfister's, of Monroe township, to
have a marriage ceremony performed.
Mr.. Pfster was not at home, and, al
though the roads were very bad, tine
couple went from there to Squire Eb
Weldon's house. Squire Weldon was
also absent from home, but the young
couple, nothing daunted, concluded to
go to Squire Jackson Benefits. I'm
fortunately, however, Squire Bennett
was also gone from home. Night was
fast approaching and Weldon was still a
bachelor. But he was not discouraged.
He told Miss Groves he knew Justice
four miles south of Breckenridge, in
Caldwell county, who was always at
home. The weaued horses were turned
in that direction, but, alas for human
hopes. They found that that Justice
had removed from the neighborhood.
But by this this time they had become
used to discouragements, and each addi-
tional obstacle only added fire to their
zeal. They started for Conner Station,
on the Hannibal and ST. Joseph railroad,
resolved to go to st. Joseph that night
to be married. At Conner they found an
obliging official, who in brief time pro-
nounced them husband and wife, and,
although they had then travelled over
thirty miles since II o'clock, over some
of the muddiest, toughest, and most dis
agreeable roads, they rode home, about
six miles, one of the happiest couples in
the world. -Gcllatia North Afis8ourja1a.
SCIENCE IN ENGL1ND.
Persons who are interested in the adj
vancement OF science in England will be
gratified to learn that the secret OF ou1
mother country's success has at last been
solved. 4 Chinaman who lived for some
time in England has returned to the
Flowery Kingdom and written a book, il
which he accuses the English nation OF
having robbed the Chinese of their learn
ing. 'sOne method adopted by the
English scientists" he says, "has beer
the making of an extract from the eyes
of Chinese who have become Christians
and touching the eyes of foreigners with
