DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
SWEET APPLE PICKLES,

Sweet apples make delicious pickles;
peel and quarter them, boil them until
tender in vinegar and water; to one
quart of vinegar add two pounds of
sugar; heat the vinegar and dissolve the
sugar in it; add cloves and cinnamon,
and pour over the apples while hot.
CAUL1F1owER WITH SAUCE.
Boil large caulihower, tied in netting,
in hot sailed water, from IS to 80 MIMI
tes drain; serve in a deep dish with the
flower upward and pour over it a cup
of drawn butter in which has been
stirred the juice of lemon, and a half
teaspoonful of French mustard, mixed
up we'll with the sauce.
CRANBERRY ROLL.
Stew quart of cranberries in Just
water enough to keep them from burn
ing. Make very sweet, strain and cool.
Make a paste, and when the cranberry
is cold spread it on the paste about an
inch thick. Roll it, tie it close in a
flannel cloth, boil two hours and serve
with sweet sauce. Stewed apples or
other fruit may be used in the same
way.
TO DRY PUMPKINS.
Take ripe pumpkins, pare, cut into
small pieces, stew soft, mash and strain
through a colander, as if for making
pies. Spread this pulp on plates, in
layers half an inch thick; dry it in n
stove oven which should he kept at SO
In about day it will become dry and
crisp. The sheets thus made can then
be slowed away in dry place, and are
always ready for use, either for pies or
stewing. The quick drying after cook
ing prevents the souring which is al
most always the case when the uncooked
pieces are dried, while the favor is much
better preserved and the after cooking
dispensed with. On going to use, soak
portions of the article in little milk
over night, when it will return to as de-
icious pulp as if made of pumpkins
when fresh.
TO REMOVE FRUIT STAINS.
In the season of fruits, the napkins
used at table, and often the handker-
chiefs and other articles, will become
stained. Those who have access to q
good drug store can procure a Lottle of
Javelle water. II the stains are wet witt.
this before the articles are put into the
wash, they will be completely removed.
Those who cannot get Javclle water can
make a solution Of chloride of lime.
Four ounces of the chloride Of lime is to
be put into quart of water in bottle,
and after thoroughly shaking allow the
dregs 10 settle. The clear liquid will re-
move the stains as readily as Javelle
water, but, in using this, ohe precaution
must be observed. Be careful to thor
o,lghly rinse the article to which this
solution has been applied in clear water
before bringing it in contact with soap.
When Javelle water is used, precau-
ton is not necessary, but with the chlor-
ioe Of lime liquid it is, or the articles
will be harsh and stiff. -Amerjcun Ag-
ricuLturist.

In the summer of 1875 l stood one
evening near the quartermaster's Office

two Kowa Indians applied for permis
sion to water their famished horses at

cept that boon in part payment for

MR.. PARNELL,s ADDRESS.
[From the CourierJournal.J

Mr.. Psrnell's address is patriotic,
high toned, peaceable and judicious.
His enemies may pick flaws in it, but
they can not overthrow the justness
of his position with references to Irish
affairs. Mr.. Psrnell will not come to
this country on a collecting tshr. He
is right lu coming to such a decision.
His place is the front Of the battle,
among his own people. The effort to
connect his name with the Feniau
movement is hardly worth notice.
Mr. Parnell does not fight in that
way. He believes that the Irish sub.
jects of the Queen are man aud breth.
rem, and not the brutes the English
papers represent them to be. He be-
lieves that the half million tenant
farmers, who depend on the soil for
their living, are entitled to protec-
ton from eviction aud from the con.
fiscation Of their property, and ere
entitled 10 fixity of tenure which
shall enable them to reap the fruits
OF their industry. We believe that
the legislative power, which Great
Britain has substituted is most griev-
Jour tyranny, which is q blot upon
the English name. The lovers of free
dom all over the world recognize tho
justness Of the Irish cause. The priu.
cipie OF Home Rule accorded to
Canada and Australia should be
promptly accorded the Irish. To that
Great Britain will have to consent.

We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was quite as tall;
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And q heart like a jeweled ohsllce,
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the bluebirds whistlea
High up in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never u moment still,
Snatching at shine and shadow
That danced on the lattice sill.
His eyes were as wide as blue-bells-
His mouth like a flower unblown-
Two little bare feet, like pretty white mice
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought. with a thrill OF raptur re
That had yet touch OF pain.
When June rolls round with her roses,
We'll measure the boy again.
All. me in q darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like y bitter rain
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little bare feet that were dlnpled.
And sweet as q budding rose,
Lay side by side together
In the hush OF long reposs
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little lace lay smiling
With the light Of heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from the rose, lay still
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept on the shrouded sill
We measured tho sleeping baby,
With ribbons white as snow;
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below;
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with q ehildless moan
To the height Of the sinless angels
Our little one had grown!

A KENTUCKY HEROINE OF EARLY
DAYS,

A we'll authenticated incident Of
Nelson county, Kentucky, illustrates
the character of the early emigrants
from old Virginia: In 1887 the cabin
of one john Merrill was attacked in
the night by seven marauding saw
ages. The barking of faithful dog
gave notice to the occupants that
somebody was coming. Merrill
opened the door to see what was the
matter, when he fell severely wound
ed. being shot through the shoulder
aud lower limbs. He called upon
his wife 10 shut the door, but it was
speedily demolished by the toma-
hawks of four Indians. Mrs. Merrill,
being a woman of greet courage and
of herculean strength, seized an axe
aud dispatched all of them as they
entered. Two mounted upon the
cabin roof and were entering by
way of the chimney. Quick as
thought Mrs. NJ. ripped open her
feather-bed and emptied it's contents
upon the fire. The blaze and smoke
of the burning feathers so suffocated
the invaders that they fell to the
hearth. where she dispatched them
with the axe. Only one escaped, and
he.was severely wounded by blow
from the heroine's deadly weapon.
