The Improvement of Louisiana and
Indiana Avenues.

With the exception of the sodding of the
spaces intended to be parked, the improve
ments in front of the City Hall are about
completed. 1t is not known yet when the
Lincoln monument will be removed, as
contemplated, eight feet northward from its
present site 1t is said that it will cost
5000 or $4,000 to effect the removal, and
as this cost will fall upon the District ex-
clusively the Commissioners hesitate to
take that amount from scanty treasury.
The cutting down of the faces of Indiana
and Louisiana avenues from Seventh to
Fourth streets has materially changed the
aspect of the thoroughfarcs for the better
and has moreover made it much easier for
the heavy travel which they have to bear.
When the triangular space at Sixth street
aud the strips on either side of the avenues
are sodded the City Hall plaza will be one
of the prettiest spots of the many in our
beautiful city. In this connection THE
Critic can honestly give word of praise
to Contractor William Hussey, who has GER
tainly shown an energy and fidelity in per-
forming the aforementioned work that
ought to procure him many District con-
tracts in the future.

Hurrah for Judge smell.

Frank Sullivan, clerk in store on
Pennsylvania avenue, near Four-and-a-half
street. sold toy-pistol to a small colored
boy this morning, and instructed him to be
very careful with the weapon, or he would
shoot himself in the hand and die of lock-
jaw. The warning not only made the
get the pistol out of his hands, so he re-
turned to the store and asked for his money,
which was refused. The boy had the clerk
arrested, and he was fined IS by Judge Smell
for selling weapons to minor.

less Husband. n MOthcr-in-i.nw and
Sich.
East Washington is excited over another
social scandal The chief actors are an ex-
letter carrier, n pretty brunette girl, for
merly employed in the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, u wife and q mother-in-
law. The cx.distributor of the United
States mail was married a year ago to u
sweet, confiding German lass, who resigned
a profitable position for the more pleasing
experiences of matron Love
and kisses went hand in hand
for n few weeks, when the hus-
band was led astray. He kept late hours,
was cruel aud overbearing toward his little
wife, and finally deserted her altogether
For a time nothing was heard Of him, ex-
cept that he had been bounced from the
Post-oilce, and the wife returned to her
mother. A few nights ago, while the wife and
her mother were sitting upon the doorstoop
the faithless husband passed that way with
dovc-eyed brunette leaning upon
his arm. His companion was q
sweet, captivating creature, and all
that art and nature could do to perpetrate
her charms had apparently been lavished
upon her. The appearance of this pair
created small sized CONSERVATION with
the wife and mothcr-in-law, and to pursue
and chastisc the unfaithful husband was
the work of q moment A cow-hide and a
pint ofcayennc pepper were brought into ser
vice and long, stern chase followed. The
young woman got away, but the husband did
not He lost his bearings, as it were, and
the enemy crossed his bows and poured
broadsde into his hull, damaging
him between wind and water irreparably.
The pepper was not used, but the cowhide
performed it's work to nicely, and when
the poor wretch had been thoroughly dc.
moralized the enemy hauled out again and
sailed for home, leaving him to repair dam
ages as best he could He struck snug
harbor in Gordon's bar-room, foot of the
Capitol, after much difficulty, and the next
day left the city and has not been heard
from since.

Housekeeping Helps.

What housekeeper-by this |
don't mean women who simply live
in the house and let it keep itself.
but those who feel an honest pride
in hOusekeeping-does not appre-
ciate any little help in household
affairs she may receive from those
more experienced than herself This
is especially the case with young
housewives. l well remember what
time | had after the war was over
and the servants gone, to find out
what was put in biscuits besides So
da-whether water or milk was
used. Now | can make good bis
cults with pint of rich butter-milk
or thick milk, full teaspoonful Of
soda well crushed and sprlnkled Oh
the -four: pinch OF salt. lard the
size Of a turkeys egg. and flour
enough for soft dough. 1t is al
ways best to test the milk before
using. If it be not old, do
not use quito so much soda. This
is also a good recipe for egg bread,
but do not make the corn dough
too stiff to run.
Try dipping your butter paddle
in cold water, rubbing it with salt,
rinsing off before working the but
ter. This is better than dipping
in hot water especially i'll Summer.
In tying up preserves always use
several folds Of paper to exclude the
air. A nice way is to save all the
tissue paper patterns, cut the paper
the size you want, dip into tie
white of an egg on both sides, put
three or four folds ever the jar and
tie down. When dry it makes them
air tight,
In making ounce jelly, you can
use as n'u h pippin apple as you
have quinee-it makes better jelly.
Be sure TO cut the cores out or it
makes the jelly ropy
