Housekeeping Made Easy.

A couple may now set up for them
selves with very few utensils, scarcely
any provisions, and next to no knowl-
edge Of cookery. A gas or oil-stove
takes the place Of a costly and cllmbrous
cooking range. Coffee is bought not
only parched but ground. Spices and
pepper come all prepared for use. Every
kind of bread, cake and pastry can be
purchased at slight advance on the cost
of the materials they contain. If one
wishes the sport of making them, self
raising flour may be had in any grocery.
can be purchased about as cheaply as
that which must be prepared. Not only
Holsters and other shell fish, but salmon,
may be bought cooked and ready to be
served at d price but little above what
The crude articles cost, and cooked corn
beef, tongue, pics feet, and ham have
long been on the market.
There are ais canned soups, that only
need to be diluted; mince-meat, all ready
to put between pie-crusts, and roast
meats and fowls of all descriptions.
Some grocers keep mush prepared for
frying. Boston baked beans, put up in
cans, have had great run during the
past few years. Last snmmerwitnessed
the advent of fried potatoes as an article
of commerce. And now comes the re-
port that chartered company has been
engaged in the manufacture of fish-balls
for the market.
II is no longer necessary to be cook
in oider to keep house. 1t requires
scarcely any cooking utensils to provide
warm meal. A can opener, frying
pan and coffee pot are the principal re-
quisites. Even the last is not absolute
ly necessary, since mixture ofprepared
coffee, sugar and cream may readily be
obtained. 1t is even practical now fol
the novice to dispense with a cook book
as the label on every can tells how to
treat the contents.-Ch Chicago Times.

Illinois and Iowa Crops,

BURLINGTON, Ia, June 27.-The
HaUkeye publishes reports from over
seventy points in Southern Iowa aud
Western Illinois contiguous to Burling-
ton relative to the condition of the
crops. In the latter district harvesting
Is just beginning. But little wheat has
been cut as yet, but the yield so far is
excellent, both as to quality aud quanti-
ty. In Southwestern Iowa the chntz
bug has done some damage, and in
other localities there are occasional com
plants of rust, but upon the whole the
yield will be nearly if not quite up to the
average. Germ is in splendid condition
and promises the largest yield that has
been had for several years. There is an
increased acreage and the average per
acre is much higher. Oats are in good
condition but the stand is light in many
places. Hay, which promised less than
half crop during the dry weather, has
been greatly helped by coplous June
rains and now will yield two-thirds of a
a crop. In some localities there has been
an excess of moisture, but upon the
whole reports are very encouraging, and
farmers and business men are feeling
greatly encouraged at the outlook.

Elizabeth Leihesberger, aged ninety

the richest maiden ladies in the county.
She owns several beautiful f ri s inRich-

is remarkably well preserved. She.w

vexations and tribulations. She has
silvery gray hair, is neat and trim In

This was greeted with clappng of hands

The London Economist remarks that
the firm of Rothschild has for three
generations succeeded in keeping its af-
fairs singularly secret, and has been
wonderfully exempt from lawsuits, de-
faulting agents, and spendthrift partners.
1t is virtually the banker Of five great
Governments. The late Baron guided
for thirty years the more important bust
ness of five or six great financering
firms, composed Of many individuals,
knew the precise condition of all Euro
pean treasures, and selected controlled
scores of agents. A remarkable fact
about this great firm is that it has done
no mischief, and has resisted the tempta-
ton to form alliances with particular
States and parties. The Baron was
never accused of waging war with rivals
or making revolution or of entering in
to speculations outside of his business.
Although great capitalists, great loan
mongers, and, avowedly, Hebrews of
Hebrews, the firm has, moreover by the
tact and moderation displayed by its
controlling head, entirely overcome the
dislike which all universally fastens up
on such men. The Economist regards
the late Baron as one of the create,
men, if not the greatest, of his kind.

Princess Louise Lands a Mig Salmon

A despatch from Metaphedia, Quebec,
says: The latest advices from Indian
House Pool say the viceregal party are
in the best of health and spirits, although
thus far the sport has not been particu-
larly good. The best catch so far was
made by the Princess, who killed splen-
did twenty-e eight pound salmon on the
day of their arrival. His Excellency was
in the canoe with her at the time, but
did not touch her rod or reel, and the
Princess alone managed to tire out the
big fish and bring him ashore, when he
was gated by Micmac Indian attend
ant. This was a remarkably fine fish,
and those who saw him taken say that he
showed an extraordinary amount of
game and activity. His Grace the Duke
of Argyll took the next largest, and the
fish taken by Captain Harboard came
next. Colonel Mcneil and Lord Ell
phinstone e camped at Two Cross
Point, three miles below Indian House.
During the past ten days they have
taken about i,l00 pounds of salmon.
