H0USEKEEPERS' HELPS.

ONE-EGG CAKE.-One cup sugar, one
and one-half cups sifted flour, two-thirds
cup Of sweet cream, one egg, three tea
spOonfuls baking-powder, one-half tea
spoonful vanilla, one-fourth teaspoonfuI
salt. Bake quickly.
GREEN PEAs.-There isn't much prin-
ciple in cooking peas, as it all depends
ON the tenderness Of the pea. But what
hurts peas is to drown them in too much
water. Some co0k-books say it doesn't
matter as to quantity of water, but it
does. Boil quickly, that's the thing,
but with just as little water as you can.
To KEEP BREAD MoIsT.-Have the
dough stiff when it is set for the last ris-
ing. The larger the proportion Of -four
to that of moisture in the dough the
longer it will keep moist. After the
bread is baked and cold put it in a tin
box or an earthen jar with close cover.
and keep it covered tightly. Bread thus
made and kept cool and always from the
air will last and be moist for week.
SODA CAKE.-Talze one pound of -four.
six ounces of butter of dripping, six
ounces of sugar, half pint of milk, one
teaspOOnful of carbonate of soda, and
add one or two eggs, with half a pound
of currants or caraway seeds; mix the
soda thoroughly with the flour, rub in
the butter, and beat the whole with a
wooden spoon for twenty minutes before
putting into a well-greased cake-tin,
Bake for a full hour and half.
LEMON BUP,-Take the juice of
twelve lemons, grind the rind of six in
it, let it stand over night, then take six
pounds of white sugar and make thick
sirup when it is quite cool stain the
juice into it and squeeze as much oil
from the grated rind as will suit the
taste; tablespoonful in goblet Of
water will make delicious drink in a
hot day, far superior to that prepared
from the stuff commonly sold as lemon
sirup.
SCoTCH Potato ScoNEs. Stub one
pound of cold boiled potatoes through
sieve, put them on the baking-board,
and scatter over them seven ounces Of
flour work first with the rolling pin in
to a paste, then a little with the hand
until smooth strew -four heavily on the
board and over the paste, which roll
about the thickness of half q crown, and
cut into shapes. Lay the scenes on a
hot stove; when little brown on one
side, turn and finish on the other. Serve
hot in napkin.
VEAL ROLLS. Ingredients-The re-
mains Of cold fllet Of veal, egg and
crumbs few slices Of fat bacon force
meat. Mode-Cut a few slices from a
cold fillet Of veal one-half inch thick :;
rub them over with egg; lay thin
piece of fat bacon over each piece Of
veal brush these with the egg, and
over this spread the force meat thinly;
roll up each piece tightly; egg and
bread crumb them and fry them a rich
brown serve with mushroom sauce or
brown gravy. Time, ten to fifteen
minutes to fry the rolls.

his exertions. Then the performer
placed a cocoanut upon the head of
boy, and, with what appeared to be a
fearful blow, broke the nut in pieces
and scattered the milk In all directions,
without, strange to say hurting the boy
IN any way. The next feat was break
ing stout coil rope by simply pulling
1t. One of the most extraordinary parts
OF the performance was the following
The athlete placed betal leaf between
two OF his fingers and then, by pressing
the fingers together, cut the leaf so as
to throw the upper part several feet
high. But the most startling feat was
the breaking of a stone laid on his chest.
The man lay down at full length on
some chairs, and huge stone, weighing
four Bengal maunds, was placed on his
chest, which was simply covered by a
thin tunlc. Two men then struck the
stone some tremendous blows with
heavy hammers, and, after one or two
attempts, the block rolled off the mans
chest In two pieces. He next made sew
eral attempts to break a cocoanut with
a handkerchief. His mode of procedure
IN this case was to roll the handkerchief
tightly in the shape of ball, and then
to throw the ball upon the nut. Pull
ing piece of sugar-cane into two exact
ly at the joint, and bending thick iron
plate, were among other feats per-
formed. The company then went out
ON the balcony, where the athlete cut a.
sugar-cane so as to throw up a piece
thereof 1000 feet high. It was done
thus A man held out cimitar with
the edge downward, and Barbaiee struck
the cane upward against the edge of the
sword, the piece thus cut off flying a
great distance into the air. This
brought the performance to a close, and
the performer was then presented with
a handsome shawl.-Nea0 York World.

Married Again Without Knowing It.

A man in Toledo, with wife and three
children, became enamoured of an inter-
esting woman and procured a divorce in
an obscure Indiana town. He did not say
q word about it at home. One day his old
est daughter rGseiveda parcel of patterns
from a lady in Indianapolis. It was an old
copy of country newspaper. An adj
vertisement attracted her attention. 1t
was an application for d divorce for her
father from her mother. The young
lady decided to visit her fti6nd in In
dianapolis, and to make an excursion to
the county where the divorce had been
granted. She returned with ample evil
dence that her mother was living with a
divirced man. She showed her father a
copy Of the advertisements, and told him
that she had found out alp about him.
He walked the floor for a minute. and
then turned to his daughter: "I have
been very bad and guilty man." he
said; but it is not too late: to make
amends [ will go to her and confess all,
and undo what I have done. "Gonfess

care you to marry her?" 81 was, to-
have married her. +" You must not go
to mamma yet. She must be your wife
again before she knows the fearful
truth. The young lady was equal to
the emergency. The twentieth anniver-
sary Of her parents marriage was close
at hand. She invited all their friends
and had them married again by the
same minister who performed the cere-
mony twenty years before She took
pains, to have her mothers rival present,
and remarked to her in a corner: Papa
and mamma are married again as
fast as law can do it. Whether the
truth is ever known depends upon you.
Papa will never tell it, [ am sure, and
for mammals sake [ never shall. But it
does seem to me, dear, that some other
climate would suit your constitution bet
than this

Too Much PariS Green.

It is reported that a family has just
been poisoned by eating lettuce upon
which Paris green was found, and many
other unpleasant stories of the same
kind have been heard every year since
the arrival of the potato bug brought
Paris green into common use out of
doors. Such accidents should remind
the owners Of farms and gardens that the
favorite remedy for potato bugs is not
one OF the simple insect-powders that are
advertised as harmless to human beings,
but yirulent poison to whatever being
tastes it in small quantities. Owners Of
large crops that aFe subject to insect
rayages may be justified in using it, but
even these should take special care that
the wind or some other force does not
carry the poison to berries OK TO vegeta-
bles Of which the loafy portions are
eaten. In home gardens, where the
various vegetables and small fruits are
grown near each other, it should not be
used at all. Small boys who pick pota-
to bugs at 3 cents quart may cost a
little more than Paris green, but, on the
Iother hand, they are cheaper than doc
tors or respectable funerals.

A HindOO Hercules.

An entertainment Of novel character
was lately given at the house Of Mr..
Morarjee Goculdus, at Bombay; who in
v1ted large number of guests to wit
mess some extraordinary feats of strength
on the part of the celebrated Deccan
athlete, Barbajee Tulsiram. The COM
pany, which included many of the lead
ing inhabitants Of the city, sat in a semi
circle, at either point Of which were
placed pretty little native boys arrayed
In. brilliant and costly apparel. The
picturesque dresses of the native ladies
who were present, the white robes of
the Parsee gentlemen, and the gay col
oRs, Of Hindoo attire had remarkably
fine effect when seen in conjunction with
the beautiful surroundings. After some
preliminaries in the way of handing
round for inspection the material with
which he intended to perform, and hay-
ing satisfied the company that there was
no deception, the athlete, tall, soldier
ly man.. some 81 years Of age, and with
magnificent development of muscle,

GERMANTOWN, close by Philadelphia,
is a demure old Quaker town. One CT
it's peculiarities is a free public library
Of 10000 volumes, from which fiction
is rigidly excluded. The works Of
Shakespeare, Byron, Pope, Dryden,
Thackeray and Kingsley are among
those that are kept out Have you
any Of Mark Twain's works here?" a
Philadelphia Times reporter asked

hardly considered reliable enough, ;" the
Librarian replied; II don't know,
though; there's some truth in them,
suppose at least I've heard it said

the Librarian, looking a little dubious,
Sin a way that didn't altogether satisfy
me. We don't put any plays in, and
Shakespeare stays out on that ground.
OF course there are some works on gen
eral literature that contain his quota
tions, but we can't help that. We hold
that the mind should be led to take up
wholesome reading books on travels
or natural history or biography-some-
thing that will amuse and instruct to-
gether. Our idea is that in reading a
person may become dissipated, just the
same as by drinking whisky"

A PARIS authority on American affairs
tells the following truthful story about
an adventure that befell the dancer,

doubtable Sitting Bull. Everybody

The word census had its origin from
the office of Censor in Rome, one Of the
duties of which was to estimate (censere)
the number of citizens and the value Of
their property, and apportion taxes ac-
cordingly. In the Middle Ages the word
was applied principally, ifnot wholly, to
the practical work Of taxation, but in
modern times it has lost this meaning.
The enumeration Of the people of the
United States provided for in the consti-
tuition is the first modern instance of an
undertaking Of the kind. The first
United States census was taken in 1890,
and the first British census Exclusive
then Of Ireland) not until 1910. In the
United States, the census serves chiefly
a political purpose, affording the basis of
representation in the lower house. In
Great Britain its object is entirely sta
tistical and economical.

A DRUGGISTS assistant was charged
before the Correctional Chamber in
Paris, few days ago, with causing the
death Of man by misleading a pre-
scription The doctor, whose writing is
very clear, ordered eight drops Of lauda-
mum, which the assistant carelessly read
as eight grammes, or about a quarter Of
an ounce. The overdose naturally killed
7the patient, and the court sentenced the
prisoner to three months Imprisonment
His advocate urged as an extenuating
circumstance that, if the mistake had
cost the deceased his life, it had at least
provided him with a painless death

The Horse and His Rider.

In the history of Rome, says Joseph
Cook, it is related that in 331, B. c., a
great chasm opened in the middle of the
forum, which it was found impossible to
fill The soothsayer said it would close
when it contained what Rome possessed
of most value, and the state would be
perpetual A noble youth named M.
Curtius demanded if Rome had anything
of more value than arms and valor. He
mounted his horse, richly caparisoned,
and amid the silence of the people,
spurred him over the brink of the ire
mendous precipice wide Liv. 1, vii. g..
[ have seen a striking picture of this
somewhere. 1t represented the horse
and rider after they had passed the brink
and were descending to the unknown
depths. There was a remarkable con-
trast between the fright of the brute and
the unruffied possession of the man.
The limbs Of the horse were frightened to
his body and the muscles of his neck
drew his head to his chest, and a shud
dering terror expressed itself In the flash
of his starting eyes. The rider was
serene and calm, with a solemn express
sion of majesty on his face, as of one
who lived with high thoughts. If I
were to spiritualize this picture I should
say that it was no mean representation
of ripe Christian departing this life.
The horse is the body and the rider is
the spirit. Flesh shrinking, spirit
steady and calm and solemn. Flesh
dreading the terrible shock, and spirit
wrapt in the glory of action, descending
that it may ascend.

How quickly demand for mechanical
improvement is supplied in this country
may be shown by the story Of what the
Scientific american calls a shower Of
railroad spikes. Tile latter could not be
furnished rapidly enough by existing
mills when rairoad-building, long sus-
pended, was suddenly revived, but a
machine to meet the demand was soon
perfected and set at work in Pittsburgh.

The preliminary workings for the
tunnel uniting England and France
have had the most satisfactory results.
The promoters have sunk their shaft to
the stratum in which they propose to
bore the tunnel, and are now going to
sink another shaft, and lower all the
machinery for the bore. In eighteen
months they expect to have reached
two kilometers, about two and quarter
miles, under the channel, and in three
or four years to have completed the
task.
