FRlRD BREAD CAKEs.-Take bits of
bread you may have left after meals,
soak them in milk, or milk or water, un-
Ill perfectly soft; mash fine; add two
eggs, pinch OF soda, salt to taste, and
enough -four to make them fry nicely !;

broken yolk allowed, nor must they

out injury to the most delicate plants,
even fuchias, geraniums, cailas, ETC., if
applied with sprinkling can two or
three times week, We learn from an
other source that corn cobs saturated
with kerosene and hung upon the limbs
OF plum trees win keep away the curcu-
lio, and also that one ounce of gum
camphor dissolved In one pint of alco
hol mixed well with one pint of turpen-

NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATrsM.-Av very
simple relief for neuralgia Is to boil q
handful Of lobelia in half pint of water
till the strength is out OF the herb, ,then
strain off and add teaspoonful of line
salt Wiring clothes out Of the liquid
as hot as possible, and spread it over
the part affected. 1t acts like a charm
Change the cloths as soon as cold till
the pain is oil gone; then cover the place
with soft dry covering till perspiration

Rheumatism can often be relieved by
application to the painful part of cloths
wet In week solution of sal soda in
wafer. II there is inflammation in the
joints the cure is very quick; the wash
needs to be lukewarm.
CARE OF BRooMs.-There is an old
saying to the effect that q woman's
housekeeping capacity can be told by
the state Ia which her broom Is kept
Our plan is keep q separate broom for
the parlor. dining room, sleeping room
and kitchen. When the latter is too
much worn for use in the house send it
TO the yard take the second best for the
kitchen. the broom from up stairs for
fhs dining room and the parlor broom
for the chambers, and let the new one
be kept for parlor and hall. Many SER
wants have the habit of leaning heavily
on broom when stopping to pick up
articles and while sweeping. This re-
suits in bent and broken splinters and O
worthless broom. When new broom
is purchased provide way for hanging
il up in this wise: With small gimlel
bore hole through the handle, about
an inch from the top; draw a piece oil
strong, waved twine, long enough when
tied In hard knot to form loop three
or four inches long. If brooms be dip
ped in clean, hot suds once every week
and dried quickly, they will last twice as
long.

"Crusade."
One day the crowd about esplanadt
WAS very large and threatening. Every
foot of space was occupied, and all The
streets approaching it we're filed Bu
the ladies had advertised meeting
there, and they went forth in the name
of Christ to face the bowling mob.
They marched right on, two and two
as though no crowd menaced them
Many temperance men and order loving
citizens we're there mingled with tn,
crowd, determined to prevent, il posi-

Mrs, Leavitt led the band. The crowt
parted as they approached. A scissor
grinder had been hired by the rum part,
for $25 20 push his cart through the
crowd, rigging his bells. He undertook
the job, but bis cart was broken into
thousand pieces. and ne was arrested
asd marched OF to jail, and subsequent
lY fined $50; so bis enterprise did no
pay.
As the 5apd we're approaching the ies
planade, Mrs. Leavitt heard large
rough man swear thnt "the foot Of {
woman should not tonch the esplarad
to-day" With the ready tact whicl
characterizes her, she recognized him

Laying her hand on his arm in he
kindly way, she said:
"Sir, . few of ne women wantto com
into the esplanade to hold little praye
meeting; wont you clear the way for u
