Notes for the Housewife,

Lemon cheese cakes.-Take one
quarter Of pound of butter, one
pound loaf sugar, six eggs, omit
ting the whites of two. Use the
juice of three lemons, with the
grated rind Of two. Boil to the
consistence Of honey, stirring it
all the time.
Boiled Indian pudding.-Two
quarts of milk, two full cuoS OF
Indian meal, one emp of mola> ses,
salt to taste. Boil two thirds OF
the milk to scald the meal; then
add the mol 'Sses aud the rest of
the milk. Stir all together and
boil eight hours.
Friction of fnrniture.-Black
lead is excellent to lessen friction
between two peices OF work. The
sides and rests Of desks or bu
reau drawers may be made to
move easy by spreading common
stove backing evenly with a cloth
or. the finger over their surfaces.
Cooking Macaroni.-Put OH a
tin saucepan Of clear water; let
it come to a boil; take a soup
pla'e inli OF nacaroni, lbreak it up
aud put in the boiling water.
When soft enough for a fork to
60 through iE is done, put in a
colander and let the water drain
off. Have the cheese grated
Holland cheese is the best, though
any hard cheese will do-take
three tablespoonfuls of melted
bntte,; take IA large fiat dish, put
iii some butter aud cheese, then
macarOni and SO Oh till all is used
up. Be SIRE and put d pinch OF
salt in the water.

The Union.

This talk about destroying the I'm
ion is getting to be stale. Ii the Union
We're mere compact, it would have
gone to pieces five years after the
adoption Of the constitution. If it
were held together by the federal gov
ernment, it would have dissolved it
self fifty years ago. If it were kept
up by the consent of the states, it
would have been rent asunder eighteen
years since. At one time it was pres
idcnt, then it was Congress, then ii
was the United States Supreme Court
then it was some state, then II was q
combination Of states, which tried tC
demolish our political system ; but il
happened every tire that the system
was too strong. and that the destroyer,
were themselves destroyed. And stif
the Stalwarts pretend to talk of new
rebellion, and few antiquated i'our
bons down south help them after {
fashion. The Union is not the worl
of human wit or political cunning, but
growth, an historical fact, and a nat
ural necessity To fight it any way i
struggle against Niagara. --i'roei

Truthful Words.

Miss Rose Meeker, daughter Of
Agent Meeker, who was murdered by
the Utes at White river, Colorado, has
written letter in which she bitterly
upbraids the government for it's policy
toward the Indians, through which
valuable lives are sacrificed to roman-
tic notions about civilizing savages.
She justly says:
'The life of one common white man
is worth more than all the Indians
from the beginning of creation until
the present time; and yet such man
as my father, with intellect and power
to move the thoughts of men----his life
now ANONYMOUSLY put out by the
hand of savage foe whose life or soul
is not worthy Of dog, and no power
in the land to stay the deed. What a
magnanimous government we have to
pamper a set of creatures whose exist
ence should have been a thing of the
past long ago.
Certain eastern journals have vehe-
mently denounced these sentiments,
seeing III them passionate and inhu-
man cry for determination of the In.
dians; and yet mos persons who know
by experience what Indians are, that
is, such Indians as the Utes who have
} committed these atrocities in Colorado

Happiness Of School Days.

AS we were passing by the city
school the other day and saw the null
titude of scholars, from fve TO eighteen
years of age, out enjoying the fresh
air and resting their minds few mo-
ments from their studies, it caused us
to ponder and think for q moment if
they were, with all their surround
ings, privileges and comforts, and best
of all their opportunity to cultivate
their mind and obtain an education,
happy and thankful. 1t seemed to us
impossible for them to feel any other
way. AS we stood watching them,
some with their marbles, some with
their tops, and the girls, some with
their jumping ropes and some walking
leisurely about the school grounds, we
wished that we were school boy
again, and in spite of us that thought
stole across our mind.
To us school days are the brightest
and happiest of all. The mind is yet
strong and pure, not weighted down
with care and sorrow, but is built up
and made stronger and stronger each
day with thoughts and ideas from the
school room. As the days creep slow
ly by the school boy is slowing away a
little each day something that will re
ward him IN the future and cause him
after he has reached manhood, to think
of his school days with some degree Of
satisfaction. Let every scholar &C
about his studies feeling happy and
not regard them as burden; still
more, let them be the height of their
ambition .-Er.

The Lifetime OF Man.

When the world was created and all
creatures assembled to have their life
time appointed, the ass first advanced,
and asked how long he would have to
Nve.
Thirty years." replied nature; "will
that be agreeable to thee2"
"Alas," answered the ass, ''it's a
long while. Remember what weari-
some existence will be mine; from
morning until night l shall have to
bear heavy burdens, dragging corn
sacks to the mill that others may eat
bread, while | shall have no encour-
agement nor be refreshed by anything
but by blows and kicks. Give but a
portion of that time / pray" &.
Nature was moved with compassion
and presented but eighteen years. The
ass went away comforted and the dog
came forward.
''How long dost thou require to
liveT asked Nature. Thirty years
were too long for the ass, but wilt
thou be contented with them9"
"Is it thy will that l shouldg' re
piled the dog. "Think how much
shall have to run about; my feet vii
not last so long a time, and when
shall have lost my voice for barking
and my teeth for biting, what els
shall | be fit for but to lie in corne
and growlf'
Nature gave him twelve years. Th
t ape then appeared.
"Thou wilt doubtless willingly hav
the thirty years." said Nature; ''tho
wilt not have to labor as the ass an
!, the dog. Life will be pleasant t
thee"
+ "Ah, no!' cried he, so it may seer
to others, but it will not be. Shoul
puddings ever rain down, | shall hav
no spoon. l shall play merry trick
, and excite laughter by my grimace
and then be rewarded by sour al
pie How often sorrow lies conceale
behind a jest! | shall not be able
endure SO long"
!. Nature was gracious, and he r
. ceived but ten. At last came maj
healthy and strong, and asked IL
measure Of his days.
"Will thirty years content theel'
), "How short timeN' exclaimed MAJ
t when | shall have built my hou:
Il and kindled fire on my hearth; whe

about to bloom and bear fruit, whe

'Thou shalt have the eighteen yea
of the ass beside"
"That is not enough, y replied man
"Take likewise the twelve years
y the dog"
''lt is not yet sufficient" reiterat'
nan--'give me more"
Il give then the ten years of Il
ape in vain wilt thou claim more"
Man departed dissatisfied. TIL
man lives seventy years. The fir
thirty are his human years, and pa
e swiftly by. He is then healthy al
happy-he labors cheerfully and /
joices in his existence. The eighties
wears of the ass come next, and bu

of his faithful service. The twel
years of the dog follow, and he los
his teeth, and lies in corner al

apes ten years form the conclusic
Then man, weak and silly, becomes t

From all parts of Colorado information is
received that the cattle range Is suffering for
lack OF water, ard grave appreheusions are
expressed in regard to the quantity of beef
that will be produced the present season.
East Of Denver there has bee some show
ers, but south Of the divide the absence of
rain is especially noticeable. The springs
and small streams sre drying up rapidly,
and cattle are obliged TO travel long dis
tances from their feeding ground to water.
The grass on the range is drying up earlier
and more rapidly than ususl, and il is i'm
possible for large bodies of cattle to fill
themselves from the present amount Of
grass. This will, of course, affect the
growth and fattening of cattle and its effects
will be anything but favorable to the cattle
interest. The disease which broke out on
the divide some forty miles south of Denver
has almost entirely disappeared, and no sp-
prehension need be felt for the safety OF
cattle in the infected localities. We ain
cerely trust that in our next issue We shall
be able TO publish more encouraging news
in regard 10 the condition OF cattle. A gen.
eral rain would do much towards improving
the condition of both beef, stock and dairy
cattle, and is the one great thing needed at
present. Denver Republican.
