Kerosene will soften leather harden
ed by water.
Ripe tomatoes will remove stains
from white clsth, also from hands.
"A teaspoonful of turpentine boiled
with white clothes will aid materially in
the bleaching process.
Milk which is changed may be
sweetened and rendered fit for use in
cooking by stirring in little soda.
To remove machine oil, wash the
spots in cold water, using soap; must
be done before wet in any thing else.
"A transparent mucilage of great te-
nacity may be made by mixing rice
-four with cold water and letting itgen-
tly simmer over the fire.
To make starch polish, take ounces
of spermaceti, of white wax, and melt
them together with gentle heat; add l
teaspoonful to pint of starch.
TO keep the hands soft, mix honey.
almond meal and olive oil into paste !;
use after washing with soap. CASTLE
soap is best for use; it will cure scratch
or cut, and prevent any spot.
When color on a fabric has been
destroyed. sponge it with acid ammonia,
after which an application of chloroform
will restore the original color.
If the teeth are black, take equal
parts of cream-tartar and salt; pulver-
ize them finely, and mix well; then wash
your teeth in the morning, and rub them
with this powder. Afterward keep your
stomach free from fetid gases.
Clarified fat is great economy in
cooking 1t may be used in making
plain pastry and even apple dumplings.
The same fat may be used for different
bookings. One lot may be used 20 or
80 times simply by adding little more
fat when it becomes weak.
Ice Cream: Scald one quart of
milk, and thicken with three table,
spoonfuls of arrowroot, dissolved in
milk. Flavor and sweeten to taste, and
strain through a sieve; when cool, add
one pint of cream, then freeze. The
more it is padded the smoother it will
be.
Asparagus, Italian Fashion: Take
some asparagus, break them in pieces,
then boil them soft. and drain the water
off; take little oil, water and vinegar,
let it boil, season it with pepper and
salt; throw it in the asparagus, and
thicken with the white of two eggs
beaten to frost.
Slight rents in gloves can be re-
paired by drawing the edges together
with the fingers and applying piece Of
court plaster the same color as the
glove. A drop of sweet oil and SCOT or
ink mixed applied to the stained. places
of black gloves, will remedy the defect.
Strawberry Shortcake: IDto quart
of -four, put teaspoOnfuls of baking
powder and of salt; sift all together !;
add to this ! of a teacup of butter. and
cut it through the flour with knife /;
wet this up with cream that has been on
ice, if you have it, or else with rich, ice
cold milk; mold together, handling as
little as possible, and roll out in cakes
half an inch thick. Bake in jelly-cake
tins, or cut out with biscuit-cutter.
(This last is very nice way to serve it,
but is troublesome to prepare.) When
done, split; butter them with the sweet
est of butter, and put the ripest fruit be-
tween them, sweetening them plentifully.
A layer of berries may be put on the
top of the cakes, and you may pour
cream over all.

Report of the Teller Committee


WASHINGTON, February 27.-The re-
port of the Teller Committee, made TO
the Senate to-day, reviews the testimony
of uinty-one witnesses in Louisiana and
one hundred and seven in South Caro-
lima. 1t states that the frauds IN South
Carolina, by the use OF tissue tickets,
extended to every county in the State
but one, and that between thirty and
forty murders were committed i'll Loui-
siana. The Committee, i'll drawing
their conclusions, say there seems to 10
a widespread determination in these
States To restrict the freedom OF speech
as To political questions, on the claim
that the discussion OF the relations OF
labor 10 capital, employees to employers,
and other Kindred subjects, are caiculat-
ed 10 array the cOlOred peo-
pie against the whites, ami
thus endanger the safety OF the people.
This determination is not authorized by
State enactments, but the Democrats
who attend political meetings, not only
of their own party but also of the oppo-
sition, are in the habit OF refusing to al
low speakers to discuss these questions.
ANY reference To the condition OF the
colored people before the war and the
causes that led to the war, are con-
dcmncd as inCendiary.
