Good Whitewash.

For brilliant whitewash that win
not rub off, and which is almost equal
to paint. take a half bushel of unslaked
lime; slake it with boiling water. keep
ing it covered up to retain the heat;
strain through coarse wire strainer;
dissolve peck of clean salt in warm
water; add the liquid only; boil three
pounds of ground rice in thin paste;
stir this in. boiling hot; dissolve a halt
pound of clear glue by soaking it well
and suspending it in small vessel in
side of another vessel containing boiling
water; add this. Now add four or five
gallons of hot water to the mixture; stiI
ii well; set it aside for four or five DAYS,
carefully covered to exclude dust and
dirt.
When ready to use, heat; if too thick,
add boiling water; it will not be apt to
be too thin: it should be applied hot.
Different shades may be secured by the
addition of Spanish brown, lampblack,
yellow ochre, Venetian red, etc: any
thing but green, which will not work
with lime This is cheap wash, as
good as calcimining, better than com
mon paint. and once used win always
be appreciated. Follow the directions
closely.

Hints for the Kitchen.

When one has fish left from dinner it
can be prepared in an appetizing way,
and it is a matter of economy to do this
Take out all the bones and cut the fish
in very small bits; add third as much
mashed potato rs yon have fish, or
even a little less will do. Moisten it
with some melted butter. II you choose
to add some sprigs of parsely, do so.
Make fiat cakes, fry till brown in a little
butter, or make some hight crust, line
small tins with it and fill them with the
hot mixture of fish and potato. Bake
till the crust is done.
Scalloped potatoes make a nice dish
for tea. Prepare in this proportion:
Two cups of mashed potatoes, two table
spooriulrs of cream or milk, and one
of melted butter, salt and pepper to
taste. Stir the potatoes, butter and
cream together, adding one raw egg
If the potatoes seem too moist, beat in
Il few fine bread crumbs. Bake in a
hot oven for ten minutes, taking care to
have the top rich brown.
Lemon Toast Beat the yolks of
three eggs and unix with them half a
pint of milk; dip slices of bread into the
mixture, then fry them delicate brown
in boiling butter. Take the whites of
the egg, beat them Unto n froth, add to
them three ounces of white sugar and
the juice of a small lemon. Stir small
teacupful of boiling water and serve as
a sauce over the toast

NEW York. May 22-The Herald
editorially replies 70 the newspapers
which have attacked Mr. Bennett for
the failure Of the Jeanette expedition,
charging the responsibility upon his
shoulders and criticising what was APP
parently an Indifference on his part to
the fate of De Long The Herald SAYS
in reply to the sun, relative 10 the pro-
vision for the wife and c!ni,d of De Long,
that Mr.. Bernett had reflected on the
matter already some two years ago, and
that almost the last words uttered by
the magnanimous commander Of the

ton that i'll event Of possible misfortune
to himself. which he fully contemplated
and knowingly encountered, care would
be taken of his wife and child. Capt
De Long was well aware OF the ingrati-
tude of princes and even of republics.
but he knew he could rely upon the IL
delitv of friend lie did not depart

of congress or of the public in the con-

vice of the Secretary Of the Navy to vote

Mormon Faces.

The Salt Lake Tribune, published in
the Mormon country, says: There are
three distinct types Of faces, dcnoimc
stubbornness, ignorance and supersti-
ton. The stubborn face first Strikes

There is strength in the stubborn face,
but none in the superstitions. Their

a party to proftless discussion of irri-
tating questions that are calculated to
reopen the issues that are closing, and
when the country is drifting surely to
the safe anchorage of peace. But why
this latter day anxiety for a declaration
of zeal in behalf of Confederate soldiers
comes from the political associates of
those who from 1879 to 1881 held con-
