Things Learned by Experience.

If your coal fire is low, throw on
a tablespoonful Of salt, and it will
help it very much. \ little ginger
put into sausage meat improves
the flavor. In icing cakes dip the
knife frequently into cold water.
In boiling meat for soup, use cold
water to extract the juices: il the
meat is wanted for itself alone,
plunge IN boiling water at once.
You can get a bottle or barrel of
oil off any carpet OF woolen stuff
by applying buckwheat plentifully
and faithfully; never put water TO
such a grease spot, or liquid of any
kind. Broil steak without salting.
Salt draws the juices in cooking;
1t is desirable TO keep them in If
possible. Cook over hot fire.
turning frequently, soaring on both
sides. Place on a platter; salt
and pepper to taste. Beef having
a tendency to be tough, can be
made very paiatable by stewing
very gently two hours, pepper and
salt. taking out about pint of
liquid when done, and letting the
rest boil into the meat. Brown
the meat in the pot. After taking
up, make 4 gravy Of the pint OF
liquid saved. A small piece of
charcoal in the pot with boiling
cabbage removes the smell. Clean
oilcleth with milk and water; a
brush and soap will ruin it. Tum-
blers that have had milk in them
should never be pat in hot water.
The skin Of a boiled egg is the
most eflicacious remedy that can
be applied to boil. Peel il care
fully, wet and apply it to the part
affected. IL will draw off the mat
ter and relieve the soreness In a
few hours.

A Prolific Family of Tow-Heads.
Omaha Bee

Omaha Bee.
\ reporter Of the Omaha Bee,
while passing through an emigrant
train which stopped at that place
for AN hour, found quite a good
looking Young woman of perhaps
% years of age, who was sur
rounded bv bevy of little tow
headed children, all so fat and fair
and nearly alike in appearance
that it was mo difficult matter to
see that they were all related, but
the reporter was astonished when
he was informed by the official who
interpreted for him that they were
all children of the same mother,
and that the young woman alluded
to was their common maternal an
cestor. The father, a stolid, phleg-
matte looking German, was in the
other end of the car smoking, and
paid no attention To the interest
manifested in his numerous pro-
geny. There were fourteen ofthe
children, the eldest not quite ten
years of age. They were un-
equally divided as TO sex, twelve
of the number being girls and two
boys. The mother stated that
there had been two more, but that
they were dead. The couple
were, aS stated, Germans, and
were going 10 settle in Oregon
They were married in the fall o
1870, and in the following summer
their married life was blessed Will
twins, both girls. Less than tive
years later the woman. who wa,
theu eighteen years Of age, gave
birth to four children, three girl
and a boy, the latter living only ;
few days. In the summer Of lS7-
three more girls registered at thei
humble hearth, and in 1876 4 bo,
arrived, solitary and alone. Sever
wears after marriage the arrival q
another cluster Of four, this tim
two boys and two girls, was a
advent that created some consteI
nation, and two years ago tw
more little haxen haired girls cam
; to the fortunate couple.

An alarm of fire was struck yes
terday forenoon because Of a huge
volume Of smoke issuing from the
main chimney of Capt. J. G.. Hustlers
mansion on Jefferson street. There
was smoke enough for an immense
confagration, bat luckily the scene
ended in smoke. The Hooks and
No. Two were first at the fire; the
former were on the building by the
time water came, but 1t was not
wanted, so all hands, including No
One, made good use of the occasion
for purposes of drill.

The newspapers have been filled
with the story Of the brave deed of
Kate Shelley, aged fifteen, living with
her mother in a little shanty on tho
east bank Of the Des Moines river, in
Iowa, near the track OF the Northwestern
railway.
One night during the summer there
was fearful storm. The mother and
daughter heard a crash, not unlike the
sound Of lightning splitting q tree.
The girl, recollecting that her father, a
railroad employe, had been killed by an
accident, lighted a lantern, aud went
out in the wind and rain TO see If aught
was the matter Her light was blown
out, but she soon found a wrecked
ira in, and all but one man had shared
the fate of her father. She knew that
another train would be along in
about half an hour, and was liable to
run on to the debris Of the first. The
nearest telegraph station was one mile
distant and over bridge 400 feet in
length. Another station was four miles
in the opposite direction. The only
hope of averting second disaster was
TO give notice at the station over the
bridge. On her hands and knees a
great part of the railway bridge was
crossed, and with wet clothes and
bleeding limbs she was liable at any
moment to fall through into the torrent
below, or be too late to avert second
railway wreck. She reached the station
in time 10 telegraph and stop the coming
trvin, but from exposure aud fright she
tainted then aud there.
The Northwestern railway, of course,
could spare a trifle from good divi-
dend, as some recompeuse TO this poor
girl. The public, OF course, would be
grateful; she had saved so many lives.
II would be a reflection on ell If the
little heroine was forgotten. She is
still in abieot poverty with her mother,
on the banks of the Des Moines river. in
Boone county, Iowa, unappreciated,
neglected, forgotten. Chicago Express
