Housekeeping Made Easy.

A couple may now set up for them selves with very few utensils, scarcely any provisions, and next to no know ledge of cookery A gas or oil stove takes the place of costly and cumbrous 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 a 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 Fruit of all kinds, all ready for the table, can be purchased about as cheaply as that which must be pre- pared. Not only Holsters and other shell-fsh, but salmon may be bought cooked and ready to be served at a price but little above what the crude articles cost, and cooked corned beef, tongue, and pigs feet and ham have long been on the market. There are also 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 a great run during the past few years. English plum buildings are also on the market. Last summer witnessed the event of fried potatoes as an article of commerce. And now comes the report that a char tered company has been engaged in the manufacture of fish balls for the market.
 It is no longer necessary to be a cook in order to keep house. It 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 absolutely necessary, since a mixture of prepared coffee, sugar and cream may readily be obtained. It is even practical now for the novice to dispense with cook book, as the label on every can tells how to

A Friendly G Send Off,"

Young Guffey was quite ill the other day, and as the doctor had prescribed perfect rest and careful nursing, his par ticular friend Jack Rodgers, said that he would bring round some of the fel lows to sit up with the invalid and brace him up," as Jack kindly eX- pressed it. So that night Guffey was awakened from feverish sleep by tre- mendous chatter on the staircase and Rodgers appeared at the head of five genial young men, carrying a demIohn, various musical instruments and other appliances ofmodern inquisitions. These kind-hearted fellows had all been i'm pressed with th9 fact that nothing does sick persons so much good as to approach them with smiling faces and cheerful words, so they nearly shook Guffey's arm out of joint Che had infammatory rheumatism), and after assuring him at looked better in his life and they'd have him right side up with care in day or two, they piled their hats up over his teet and settled down to their benevo- lent task. First, Tom Pliff told an ex- cruclating funny story of how he threw waiter out of the third-story window of the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, with an admirable imitation of the way the waiter yelled when he struck the
 
 company to laugh itself almost black in the face. Then Mr. Badgers performed a little thing of his own in F flat on the cornet, which caused the landlady to make some caustic remarks out in the hall and induced an unappreciative old party overhead to hammer on the floor and swear. Then young Tearer. who belonged to an amateur dramatic associ- ation, said that he would. as they insisted on it, do some limitations, just a few. and he forthwith libelled twenty-eight well-known stars in the most masterly manner, and was the recipient of the same number of enthusiastic encores. Then Monagan, the baritone, sang "The Old Sexton " in style that made the coal rattle in the cellar, and after that got halfway through aThere's Grape on the Door" before he was apprised by .sundry vigorous punches in the ribs of it's decided inappropriateness, upon which he pulled up in the greatest dis may Jimmie Diffenderfer, however, put an end to the general embarrass- ment by volunteering to dance horn pipe on a table, which he did to the en- tire satisfaction of everybody. The table he first thoughtfully pulled to the foot of the bed, so that Guffey could have the best possible view of the performance. After that the whole party vociferously played cards, smoked and made hot whistles for two or three hours, with an occasional song or ''good story to re- lieve the patients tedium, About 4 o'clock A. M., however. they observed that the sufferer seemed more at ease. So, discontinuing q vigorous chorus upon which they were engaged and with many whispered injunctions for silence, they turned down the gas and elaborately hled down stairs OF tiptOc and when the good-hearted fellows got safely into the street they shook hands genially with the air of persons who had done good action and said che to another as they parted: "Deuced glad the dear old boy l IS sleeping, aint youp" But they were 1 mistaken-he was dead !-,San Fraascisco l Post.
