Cream cookies are made of one cup
of sour cream, one cup of butter, two
cups of sugar, two eggs. one teaspoon
full of soda, flour enough to make a
dough of medium body, neither as soft
as possible to roll nor as hard. These
may be rolled thin, and will be light and
rich. Bake in q quick oven, but do not
let them brown.-M Y. Post.
Milking in the barn-yard, says an
exchange, is an old fashion that should
be abandoned. 1t is announcement and
unclean. 1t should 90 with the wooden
pail and the hairy butter, and never be
heard of any more; gone and forgotten,
too. 1t is a wonder that any farmer
would permit it, and still more won
der that any farmers wives or daugh-
te.-s would consent to it.-M Y. Herald.
1t Is an excellent plan to prepare
the cabbage for dinner an hour before
it is time to cook it. Cut the cabbage
in quarters, and scatter handful OF
salt over it and cover it with cold water.
This is good course to pursue if one
has not time to look the cabbage over
carefully. Caulifower also should be
treated in the same way, after being
picked apart. There are so many
small insects that great care is necessary
in looking over vegetables.-N T.

Prof. w. J. Beal, in the Gardeners
Monthly, gives some curious eccentric
tiles peculiar to plants. Roots grown in
damp air in the dark will often make 3
complete coil, sometimes two or more
of them. If piece of gummed paper
be placed on one side of the root tip il
becomes unusually excited and begins
to coil away from the paper. sometimes
tying itself into a knot, and often sue
ceeds in rubbing off the paper. Roots
generally turn downward, though not
always.
Never allow any one to tickle
your horse in the STABLE" says the
Farming World THE animal only
feels the torment and does not under
stand the joke. Vicious habits are thus
easily brought on. Never clean horse
in the stable; the dust fouls the crib
and makes him loathe his food. Use
the currycomb lightly. When used
roughly it is a source of great pain.
Let the heels be well brushed out every
night. Dirt, if allowed to cake in,
causes grease and sore heels"

One Made Money.

A day or two ago a lot of hotel-keepers,
who had been subpened as witnesses on
a trial, met on the City Hall steps and
began discussing the hard luck they had
experienced at their summer resorts
during the season. They all frankly
admitted they had come out behind,
with the exception of one man, who
waited until the rest had finished, and
then put in claim to having made
money.
In that little picayune place of yours,
that place down on the island?" eX-
claimed one.
Fright there, gentlemen replied the
successful man, calmly.
You mean to say you made money
over and above your eXpenses?" de-
manded another.
Didn't have any, expenses and |
made money"
"How?" observed the crowd.
81 only had one guest, and I've got
him vet" answered the man who knew
how. Hes down at my place, and |
am still making money out of him. He
was rich man, and I induced him to
come down to see the place. As soon
as | cot him there l locked him in the
cellar and fed him through knot-hole
in the door; stuck in the stem of clay
pipe and poured soup in the bowl while
be sucked it out of the stem. Charged
him twenty dollars a day, and when /
closed for the season | left one of the
servants to feed him, and I'm going to
keep that up as long as his money holds
out or he dies, and then I'll put in bill
against the estate"
And the unsuccessful ones stood off
and admired his genius, while the calm
man stood apart and waited for some
one to set EN- up, as the rich always do
when the poor are around.-BrOOklyn

states: Major B. S. White, of this city,
describes his miraculous cure as follows:
Il have been partially dead man for ten

to the enlargement of certain glands. The

old watcLman to Star reporter the other
day.
''Why, no; tell me about it," said The re-
porter with sudden interest, getting close to
the old man aud speaking in q low, conf
Dental tone.
"No, you didn't know it. Well, it ain'tw
he said, shutting his mouth with a snap and
looking as blank as faded guide-post which
tells you that it is IL miles to-, and leaves
you to guess where.
"Yes, that's the Senate slde,' he said to
a wild-eyed countryman who was staring
about in quest of that decorous body. Then
turning to the reporter, mo, it amt haunt

"It's not, eh? Well, thought not" re-
piled the scribe, sticking his thumbs into the
armhoes of his vest and looking at the new
frieze-work.
mo, it amt haunted; it amt haunte d ,"
repeated the old man with low chuckle
"a man committed suicide off the rail there
one time, but it ain't haunted" Then he
looked knowingly at the reporter to see if
his curiosity was sufficiently aroused. But
the scribe vas admiring the Baptism of
Pocahontas," and the old man assumed a
more confidential tone. "You remember
the man that jumped off there? 1t amt
been so long-about six or seven years. You
know he stood OH the rail of The highest bal
cony, and throwing up his arms to heaven,
gave wild plunge and was crushed on the
iron roof, nearly two hundred feet below
Well guess his ghost went somewhere, but
it didn't stay about here"
"Well what are yon talking about, then?"
said the reporter, his intereat getting the
better of his patience.
The Portland daily press., 1883-12-31

NO 1t didn't stay about here" he contin-
ued. not noticing the reporters impatiePce,
but some folks think it did, and It seems
kind O natural that it should, too. Lots of
queer folks go up on the DOME I've been
here long time, and | see lots of them.
Ihey go up there more in the winter than
they do in the summer-ten to one more.
IFS too hot to climb the stairs in the sum
mer. There are some who come every SEES
sion with Congress, They come 10 the Cap
ltol every day, and always go on the dome.
They are the 'dome-rats' that's what | call
them. don't know what they go there for,
any more than know why church-monse
stays in church. All the strangers who
come here want to go on the dome, and cou-
pies who want to get off by themselves often
go up there. You can see them standing at
every landing, looking out of the windows
with way-off look. Then there are cranks
who go up there to get nearer Heaven"
''Well, yes, know interrupted the re-
porter, "but what's all this got to do with
The dome's being haunted? Did any of
these curious visitors ever get frightened at
ghost up there and fall down stairs? Has
any ones hair been turned suddenly white
by the sight of a spectre about to plunge
headlong in suicidal leap? Where does
the ghost come imp
Didn't say there weren't lny ghosts,p
retorted the old man, an injured expression
passing over his face. 81 was Just coming
to that" he said, recovering his good humor
under the influence Of the reporters concili-
alory smile. "There amt any ghosts up
there, but some of these strangers get fright
ened and think the house is haunted It all
comes of the whisper gallery Yon know
the whisper gallery? Well, you know
when people are talking around on the other
side the echoes bring their voices right close
up to you. A great many strangers, hearing
these voices and not seeing any one, have
jumped to the conclusion that the place is

suicide there, they think that his troubled
spirit still fingers about the scene. But, as
l told you, it amt haunted, IFS only the
