HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.


| from Demonstraxive Lecture on Cooking
BY Mrs. Dods at Philadelphia
-Tepid water is produced by com
bining two-thirds cold and one-third
boiling.
Newer put pudding that is to be
steamed into any thing else than a dry
mold.
old potatoes may be freshened up
by plunging them into cold water be-
fore cooking them.
I'm making any sauce put the butter
and flour in together and your sauce
will never be lumpy.
Boiled fowl with sauce, over which
CRATE the yelk of eggs, is magnificent
dish for luncheon.
I'm making crust of any kind, do
not melt the lard in the flour. Melting
will injure the crust. Beg
The yelk of eggs binds the crust
much better than the whites. Apply it
to the edges with brush.
The water used in making bread
must be tepid hot If it is too hot, the
loaf will be full of great holes.
You must never attempt to boil the
dressing of clear soup in the stock, for
it will always discolor the soup.
"A few dried or preserved cherries,
with stones out, are the very best things
possible to garnish sweet dishes.
Whenever you see your sauce boil
from the sides of the pan you may know
your flour or corn-starch is done.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly
put in pinch of salt. The cooler the
eggs, the quicker they will froth. Salt
cools and also freshens them.
I'm boiling eggs hard put them in
boiling water 10 minutes, and then put
them in cold water. 1t will prevent the
yelk from coloring black.
i'm cooking fowl, to ascertain
when it is done put skewer into the
breast, and if the breast is tender the
fowl is done. .a4r g.
TO boil potatoes successfully: When
the skin breaks pour off the water and
let them finish cooking in their own
steam. f ..5 -.H
I'm boiling dumplings of any kind
put them in the water one at time. II
they are put in together they will mix
with each other.
Never wash raisins that are to be
used in sweet dishes. 1t will make the
pudding heavy. To clean them wipe
them in dry towel.
Good -four is not tested by its color
White -four may not be the best. The
test of good flour is By the amount of
water it absorbs.
TO make macaroni tender, put it in
cold water and bring it to a boil. 1t
will then be much more tender than If
put into hot water or stewed in milk.
There is greenness in onions and
potatoes that renders them hard to d.
gest. For health's sake put them in
warm water for an hour before cooking.
Single cream is the cream that has
stood on the milk IL hours. 1t is best
for tea and coffee. Double cream stands
on its milk "a hours, and cream for
butter frequently stands 48 hours.
Cream that is to be whipped should not
be butter cream, lest in whipping it
change to butter. rs -..l5e 81 \ f..
For a light dessert there is nothing
more generally wholesome than some
form of fruit. People with vigorous
digestion may eat it in raw state, but
for those with feeble stomachs it is
better cooked, and no fruit is SO well
adapted to cooking as the apple, no
other can take so many forms, each
better than the last.-Fron, DR.. Foote's

Professor King has been interviewed
bv a reporter on the New York ELPrceg,
and the following arc his views on the
possibilities of the balloon: "The bal
loon is condemned by many, and justly
SO. because there are those who claim for
it impo.sibilitics. 1t can only be used
and valued for what it is worth to
gcignce 1t will never be used as a car
ricr in the strict sense, because that is
im#roctieabIc; but for scientific research,
il l. the only means we have Of studying
the higher regions and learning about
the uppcr currents about the formation
of rain and snow and the action of
storms 1t is The only thing by which
we can reach u pointin the heavens clear
Of the earth; and for these purposes it
il invaluable. The day will never come
when balloons will be made to navigate
thc air against the currents. That can
only be done by flying machines having
momentum, which a balloon is without.
You cannot throw tuft of cotton
AGAINST the wind, for the reason that it
has no resistance. The balloons mission
is scientific in several ways. You know
in case Of war, it has been very useful
in escaping from besiQgcd cities, like
Paris, for instance, and for military oper-
atoms, il the only way you have OF look
ing into the enemies Notifications with
immunity. 1t is also valuable for look
ing down into deep water. I had an
offer made to me once To float over Lake
Erie and search for q steamer shat had
sunk in n storm. From balloon you
can look down to the bottom Of very
deep water, because you are away far
enough TO overcome the reflection OF the
sky. From my balloon here, / can see
the channel the boats take to Rockaway
very clearly.
"Ihaye not the least doubt that the air
will be nayigated by hying-machine,
but il will have to fly better than bird
flies, the same as a ship, and better than
fish; that Is, the ship will carry a
thousand passengers and heavy cargo,
and so through the water very swiftly,
while fish has all it can do to take care
Of itself The hyiDg-machine will have
wide, strong wings, and viii be propelled
bv some great foree-it may be nitro
giycerinc. 1t may he with gun-power, and
it may be- hydrogen and oxygen gas, or
/. it may be something else, that viii give
it momentum; but, whatever it is, it will
be light and compact, 50 that handful
Of il, 60 to speak, will last whole day,
A baseball travels when hit by bat
and, if there should be fly on its sur
face, it would carry its passenger. You
know how nicely a piece of cardboard
can be SHE'D through the air. The flying
machine will operate on something like
| tho same principle, but balloons will
never be used for the purpose, being, as
said before. without momentum"

this villa are finer and better preserved
than elsewhere. The pavement and the

Memphis presents n fresh example Of
the faithfuIncss Of the journalist. The
city Is literally dead, and there Is posi-
lively nothing doing in the way Of busi-
ness, yet the papers appear "a regularly
as ever, and it has, Of course, never oC-
CURED to the editors to suspend puh}.~a-
ton, and, like the merchants Of The
place, close their establishments. Ger
taiuIy they 20 on at n loss, for all the
sources Of their profits arc shut. The
newspaper is ever the last to succumb.
If its office is burned down, it is Uutn
morning with ca full account Of the
aonGaEration. ThcGrcswhich destroyed
Chicago and Boston only ECurChed the
newspapers though the buildings were
laid low. The war record of the Mem
phis dUdtaRche can not be forgotten
how it carried its presses from point to
point as the Union armies advanced, and
printed its edition everywhere and any
where, but always somewhere. Tho
religion Of the journalist is his trade. To
him it is a sin to fly from bis desk at the
appearance Of danger. Like the general
at the head of his army he would be for
ever disgraced in his own eyes il the
enemy, coming in what shape it might,
did not find him in command The in
come of the Memphis editor stops, but
his expenses do not. He fights for
others and pays for the privilege. He
urges courage He is SC little frightened
by Yellow Jack that he takes him by tho
buttonhole and laughs with him. He
tells his afflicted fellow citizens never to
lose hope. He sifts out the truth from
the wild stories flying about and kills
despair by showing how things could be
a great deal worse than they are. Ho
points glecfully to the future, and
declares that Memphis must and will re-
cover the old-time prosperity. Imagine,
If you can, Memphis in its hour Of its
sore trial without its press. Think Of
the ravages of the dead visitor, I'M
recorded, with only the alarmed people
to tell one another who still lived; with
the whole world silent, with no word Of
encouragement to reach the public ear.

The Gullys. Thrne Etotiaciis,

YEhe gull. may be said to have three
stomnchs The first begins at the mouth,
or mandibles, extending to the entrance
at the breast, where tho eeoond, or
stomach proper, begins, and which ter
inmates in the third, or gizzard. The
entrance at the mouth ID more than
twice the size Of the entrance to the
Others so that fish or other object
too large to enter the second
stomach is safely swallowed and retained
in the first, either till reduced so as to
pass easily or to be vomited when re-.
qJHred TO feed young ones.
Shellfsh are retained in the stomach
until the fish is washed out of the shells,
which ate then vomited. 4 small bird
is petaEned in the same way tilf only the
feathers and harder bones remain, and
these are thrown up in like manner,
And SO with every other indfgestible
substance taken along with food; it
never goes into the second stomach, ex-
cept grain. These, after q time in the
first stomach, passon through the second
TO the .gizzard, there to be pounded into
nehrishnont for tic bird.
The advantages OF this remarkable
provision in the gull, says 4 writer, are
no doubtmany, but the following is in
structive and clear. / have seen gull
come to her nest and vomit a big fish for
her young gulls In less than minute
she swallowed the fish, flew to a project
ing crag in sight of her nest, and sat
down for half an hour, after which she
flew back an vomited the fish to her
hungry family. Now this strange pro-
ceeding was simply a necessity. A fresh
fish will not pick easily of the bones,
and the beak Of young gulls is soft.
The fish in the case before us had been
too shorta time in the parents stomach
to be easily deyoured by the young
gulls.
Besides, herring is the common fish
obtained, and herrings have more or less
oil about the skin and about the fins
The oil is very hurtful for young birds
makes them sick and miserable; but a
short time in the first stomach Of an old
gull extracts this oil. .scndfng, it on to
the second stoInaehst6 feed the parent,
while the fish isRot only rendered more
wholesome for her family, but she can
afford to give them the whole of it, be-
ing herself sustained by the extract. In
feeding tame gulls | had to avoid her
ring, although ] knew it was much val
ued by parent guils; and | failed, as at

4 STRANGE MYSTERY.

and discovered that the object was tho

thr woman ut once took steps to inform
the authorities, and Justice Shields, aC-
commuiod by Constable Baker and An

nj once to the locality. DIR. Chew, net

place where the body was found was

After the jury, consisting Of J. J. Dyer,

pcrt2, D. NJ. Alexander and J. 7. Reed,
had been Sworn, the body was carefully
taken from the water and laid upon the
bank Of the ditch and examined, The
body was about eighteen inches in
length, and was that Of a perfectly

been destroyed immediately after its
birth, the proof of this being uumistak'

q bucket was sent for to obtain water to

was poured Upon it, however, it was dis
covered that the supposed mud or filth
was q coating Of hair or fur, which, after
being cicanscd Of the disColOring matter
which 1t had gathered in the ditch, was
found to be Of light gray or cream
color The furry CxCrcsCCnce i'll the
checks and about the shoulders was fully
n half inch in length, and resembled
much the fur or hair of young wOolly
dog. Dr Chew stated that it was not
uncommon for children at their birth to
be spotted with hair, but he had never
seen any instance similar to this. The
hair, the doctor remarked, shed soon after
birth. The body was so decomp0sed that
it was impossible to tell positively what
nationality or race the child belonged to,
though it was thought to be tho off

child WAS thrown into the ditch by its
