CLEANSING. French woman cleans
her gloves, light boots, ribbons, silks and
laces, all at the cost of few cents, and
with surprising success they pass for new
on any inspection but the closest, and are
worthy to do so. Alcohol will wash kid
gloves without even staining them or leav-
ing an unpleasant odor about them the
gloves are simply drawn upon the hand
and carefully rubbed with piece of clean
flannel wet with alcohol until the soil is re-
moved, and then hung up to dry, and
afterwards slightly stretched, when the
original color reappears. A French woman
never buys lining for a new gown she
cuts up her old gowns and skirts instead ];
she unpicks and stitches up again, turns,
irons, and renews, until every inch of the
stuff has served half dozen purposes, and
there is not an unworn thread in the whole
garment. A French woman is always no.
ticeable for her clean linen-cufis and
collars always white and fresh but then
she works them herself, and thus procures
another large feminine luxury at a small
cost.
GREEN Peas Shell the freshest of
green peas, being careful to keep them
free from dust, so that they will not need
washing, as this destroys their sweetness.
Cook in enough boiling water to cover,
with a little salt and lump of white SUI
gar. They will be done in twenty minutes
If fresh and tender half an hour is long
enough for any that are fit to eat. Drain
them, season with salt and pepper, and put
a lump of butter in the center of the dish,
or beat half cup of sweet cream with a
teaspoon of butter and pour it over them
in the dish.

TNXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT NABoB
~ WHISKY is one of the best medicinal prepare
lions known, and is highly recommended ~ the
Faculty for all cases OF Nervousness, Weakness,
Debility, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, etc. Its popu-
lary throughout the Eastern States has been great,
and it comes to the Pacific coast in orsed by the
certificates of Dr. S. Dana Hayes, State Assayer OF
Mas achusetts and DIR. II. C. kouderback, of st.
Louis, Mo. These certificates are most direct in
their statements, averiing that the NABoB
WHISKY is, without exception, the purest article
that can be used either incidentally or for lndiges-
ton and Nervous Affections, and can be used with
the utmost confidence. The analysis shows that this
WHISKY is free from favoring oils, acids metals,
or other deleterlous substances. Dr. Hayes further
says that 1T is pure of superior quality aud suitable
for dietetic and medicinal purposes. Such reeom-
mendatiops the strongest that can be furnished,
and as there are thousands OF letters testfying to
the merits of the WHISKY as family remedy and
tonic, no further proof of its excellence need be
given. Since the NAB0B INDICATED WHISKY
has been introduced the Medical Faculty has d.s-
covered properties which make it valuable as
BLOOD PURIFIER.

THE RED RIBBON CLUB.

A LARGE MEETING IL THEIR HALL LAST
NIGHT WHICH WAS ABLY ADDRESSED Ky
MESSRs. BAGBY AND BROWN, or PADUCAH.
The Temperance meeting at the hall on
Tenth street last night was largely attend
ed The reputation of the speaker, Mr.
B9gby, contributed much to fill the large
room with an intelligent ami eXpcctant au-
dience The exercises were as usual. high.
" interesting, and did much to create
a feeling of brotherhood among
all present. The meeting was opened by
singing "Ihe Morning Light is Breaking"
Rev. B. Y. George then delivered a short
and impressive prayer. Then followed the
troll call and reading Of the minutes Of
the previous meeting, after which various
bills were allowed and some miscellaneous
business transacted, ard then the prcIimin-
airy exercises were concluded with
the song, Rescue the Perlshing."
The president Of the club, Mr.. Geo. s.
Fisher, now introduced the speaker of the
evening, NJ. L. ". Bagby, who discussed
the subject "Tcmperancc, in lawyeriy
manner, AMI held the attention Of his hear
ers for an hour or more. Owing to his
rather rapid delivery we found 1t difficult
to note all the good passages and our short
synopsis will therefore be found somewhat
disconnected. But the speech made good
impression and the speaker may
rest assured that his effort has not fallen on
barren soil.
After thanking the audience for the kind
invitation he had received, the speaker
said that his subject was one upon which
so much had been said that he would fad
it difficult to say anything new. He de-
sired to make no fierce onslaught on the
enemies OF intemperancc, but would call
things by their right names and support
his arguments with facts and figures.
He thought the advocates of temperance
were working IN the proper way and that
this WAS amply attestei by the large mum.
Der they had won over to their side. The
temperance idea carried conviction with it,.
but that the difficulty which men encoun-
tered was the living up to their conviction
After several good passages, which we
failed to catch, the speaker related story
of Mr.. Thackely's visit to a Philadelphia
gentleman, named Smith. which caused
much mcrriment, and from which he drew
some logical and impressive concu.
sions. The Organization of the
medical fraternity throughout the country
had of late done much to discourage the
use Of intoxicating liquors, which had for
merry been prescribed, in many instances
for the mere qualification of patients, al
though to their positive injury.
It was amusing to watch the assumed
gravity Of the new apostles who always
sought divine authority for the use and sale
of the stuff, and their quoting of biblical
passages in support Of their position,
