LEMON CHEEsEcAKEs.-Gr the rind of two lemons and squeeze their juice into bowl, add a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar, quarter of a pound of fresh butter boiled. Beat up three eggs, mix altogether, and they will be ready to make into tartlets or open tarts.
 ORANGE JELLY.-Grate the peel of five China oranges and two lemons into bowl. squeeze the juice of them into it. Boil one pound of sugar in a quart of water, and when quite boiling, pour it it is dissolved. Add the juice to it, strain through coarse muslin, and let it stand untl! half cold, then pour gently into molds which have been wet with cold water. Before turning out put the molds into warm water for few min utes; loose the edges with spoon.
 BAKED ToMAToEs.-Scald and peel a sufficient quantity of smooth, round tomatoes; put into a deep earthenware dish and sprinkle plentifully with salt and pepper; have teacupful or more, according to the quantity of tomatoes, ot fine cracker crumbs, and spread over the top. Bake in a quick o yen from thirty to forty-fve minutes. Drop a few Jumps of butter onto the tomatoes, and serve.
 COFFEE. - To make this beverage properly some practice is required. Do the entire work yourself, and slight no part of the operation. Take the best Java coffee; throw out all the inferior kernels; roast in a popcorn pepper over bed of coals, slowly at first. carefully and evenly, for about fifteen minutes, more or less; when done, the kernels should be a nice brown, and shine as if vanished; grind, not too fine; put into cold or moderately-war water, in the , oportion of a tablespoonful to q cup |; tlr in one egg; cover, and bring to a boil only; let it stand few minutes, then pour through a strainer.
 SLICED CUCUMBER PICKLES. Medium sized green cucumbers, pared and sliced as for the table. To four quarts of slices add one large spoonful of salt, mixing it through them. Let them stand over night, and in the morning rinse and drain through a collander Boil vinegar with whole white mustard seed, half a teacuptul of seed to two quarts of vine gar and set it away to cool. Pack the sliced cucumbers in quart cans, and cover them with the prepared vinegar Place a bit of alum on top of the pickles in each can and seal. Keep in dark, cool place. Pickles made after this rule retain much of the natural flavor of cu- cumbers.

that those whom the General has to
deal with, are the moderate drinkers
and so-called hard cases. But the

EDS. JoURNAL:-Withy your permits
sion l wish to add few lines to the
following brief notice found in last
weeks JOURNAL
"DIEp.-In Kinniekinnic, March 4, 1879, oil
effusion of the brain, Fred K. Thomas, aged
Is years"
Fred was the only son of George
and NJ. J. Thomas. He was faithful
student in his beloved school, the Nor
NAL, and was in his place in his school
and class room, apparently in good
health, Tuesday, just one week before
his death. His quiet, Christian Ii fe
was crowned by triumphant death.
1t seems to me that the closing scene
of that young, earnest life, just verg-
ing on manhood, was worth volumes
of theology to those who witnessed it.
Monday night he was delirious much
of the time, but Tuesday morning his
mind was clear and rational, remain
ing so almost up to the time of his de-
parture. At one time he said, "There
is nothing like the religion of Christ, =
at another, 1.-The half was never told. F"
After calling each member of the fam
lily by name and bidding them loving
farewell, he lay with one hand in
mothers calmly waiting the final
summons. None can tell, who have
not passed through the deep waters of
affection, the anguish of the parents
when death claimed their only son.
yet not the less DER sill the heart hath lost.
sh u faith rejoice, when Nature grieyes the most.
On Tuesday, March 6, six of his
| classmates bore his remains to their
last resting place.

DIR. Angie, of Chicago, who has been
stopping in town a few days, having
come here to pay some taxes, wander
ed off down the creek mile or so last
Sunday afternoon, and having imbibed
little two freely of the liquids down
that way became non compos mentis
and remained down there until quite
late in the evening. He started on
his return and had not proceeded far
when he was knocked over and dis
possessed of his gold watch and chain
and about $50 in currency which,
fortunately was not all the money
there was IN his person. Not having
sobered off he was arrested the next
day by constable Carleton, brought be-
fore justice Holmes and after paying his
fine and costs was set at liberty. The
water down below the lime kiln is said
to be awful bad.

Of the doctors lecture, Mr.. G.. p.

we'll evineed by the continued good at

the speakers. The singers do their
duty nobly, some of whom have at

the long series and have added much
to the interest and enjoyment Of the
audience.

Promenade Concerts.

The River Falls Band will commence
a series of promenade concerts at
Brackets Hall Wednesday evening,
March 10. They have decided to give
these concerts on the dime plan, tax
ing as much care with the programme
as at a seated concert, but placing the
price of admission within the reach of
every one. These concerts, wherev-
er given, always become popular as
the tedium of remaining seated is done
away with at a promenade concert
it being optional to sit, walk or stand
during the intervals between pieces.
Ten cents is not much and it is great
ly needed in the Band treasury. Ne
gotiations are pending with Prof.
Johnson, the eminent pianist located
here. to assist.
