Household Recipes.

DAMP FLooRs.-It should be
a fixed rule that floors. particu.
larly those of sleeping-rooms
are 10 be scrubbed only on dry
days, and where the health o
the inmatesi is delicate, the dry.
ing should be quickened by
lighting a fire in the room.
RECIPE FOR LINE WATER
Lime water is made by dilutine
four ounces of Stacked lime to
one gallon Of pure water and
well shaking it for a few min
utes. 1t must be left to stand

CINNAMON JUMBLEs.- Make
one, two, three, four, of cup

mix together equal parts of Gin
namon and granulate sugar;
drop a large spoonful of the
dough into the cinnamon; when
all have been well covered put
into a quick oven; should be
done in ten minutes.
WORD TO THE C ooK.-Pick-
led or salt meat requires longer
boiling than that which is fresh.
Meats, in order to be tender,
should not boil too rapidly. 1t
should be put into cold water
and heated gradually. Mutton
should be soaked for couple OF
hours in cold water previous to
boiling.
RIcE-PUDDlNG WITH FRuIr.-
Swell the rice with very little
milk, over the FIRE; then mix
fruit of any kind with it, cur
rants gooseberries scalded, par
ed and quartered apples, raisins
or black currants, and still bet

well, and serve with powdered
cinnamon and sugar.

BETTER to fail in a noble
cause than to succumb to the
pressure OF your surroundings
and profess to be what you are
not and can not be in your
heart.

DR. APPLEwHITE, of Ga roll county
says that he has known Senator-elect
George from his boyhood-that he has
raised him in fact.
"Jim George" says the Doctor,
twas never a pretty man, but this can
be said of him: He always tried tO
excel in whatever he undertook, and
he mighty nigh always succeeded.
1 knew him when he opened his career
as an ox-driver, and may be you think
he couldn't get on a bale Of cotton and
Just execute the most scientific popping
of the ox-whip, of any other man in
Carroll county, And emit come to
a long and hard pull up steep hill,
perhaps, you imagine that Jim George
didn't know how to infuse enthusiasm
into the steers, and make them
ashamed to stop no matter how deep
the wagon wheels mired. AS an OK
driver, George was a success; he held
his own ON the farm; he seems to have
made a hit in the law; and 1 just
believe that when he goes into the
United States Senate, his luck will
stick to him."

has been great reaction against it.

According to Mr.. Charles Nordhoff.
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Hcra d, Pennsylvania has
Slipped out Of Senator Don Cameron's
grasp. The senator is now at Harris
burg, engaged in a seemingly hopeless
effort 10 regain control Of his party.
1t Is doubtful, however, 80 Nordhoff
says, that he will he able to secure a
delegation to the national convention
which will follow his lead. If he
can't have the delegation instructed
for Grant he wants to have it instruct
