Washlngton's New Houses.

1t is astonishing to note the number of
ne" houses put up here this summer,
writes a Washington correspondent
Fully 100 elegant residences have been
finished since the adjournment Of Con
gress. Property, under the stimulus of
this building, has advanced very RAPIDLY
Large fortunes are to be made here by
the builders Of flats. The few expert
ments made in that direction already
yield enormous returns. Furnished
houses ale IN great demand and com
mand very high rents. The cost of liv
ing in Washington steadily increases un-
der the impulse of fashion, which makes
Washington a social center during the
winter season. Each year Washington
appears to grow more and more beauti-
ful The parks increase in number,
while the trees upon every street grow
with great rapidly. There are 5000
trees planted here in the streets, and
their number is being added to year by
year. Massachusetts, avenue runs into
Dupont circle upon the northwest, and
is lined upon both sides with linden
trees. New York avenue, down which a
street car line runs, has double row of
trees on each side of the car tracks,
While there is a line of trees along the
two side walks. The continuous plant
ing of trees appears to have changed the
climate Of the place In times gone by
Washington was as hot as Marseilles,
but i'll later years it is much more COM
Portable in midsummer than Philadelphia
or New York

1t is no longer war office secret, says
Truth, that the present state of the re-
cruiting market is causing serious anXi-
ETY.. The Duke who, with the cour-
age Of conviction, has never hesitated to
call the military spade by its proper
name, has recently alluded most serious
ly to the subject. If the authorities would
save themselves vast amount of trouble
anxiety and expense, they would do well
to take the opinion of practical men, and
leave theoretical problems to the future
Colonels of regiments, adjutants and old
recuiting officers know more about these
matters than the staff who write on the
subject; and these officers, as !, rule,
would say that the remedy is not to be
found in the offer of better food, better
lodging, or short or long service, but in
giving to the recruits such assurances re-
garding his future as shall enable him to
make soldering real trade, and not a
refuge, as at present. Our army is now
about 5000 short of the number voted bv
Parliament in this years estimates !;
while even i'll the foot guards the def
cheney is so pressing that the standard of
height has had to be lowered to ) feet 7
inches.

Good Bread.

The art Of making good bread is one
that every woman should be proud to
possess The progress which has been
made during the last twenty five years
has been very great, especially in New
England but there is yet room for still
further improvement, for even now the
rule b that the daily bread Of the masses
is NOT up to that quality which is best
adapted to the promotion Of health,
That the constant eating of poor bread
causes dyspepsia is fact too well known
to require any further evidence to prove
it, and that dyspepsia is great cause OF
irrta bilty is also a well known fact /;
therefore in a household where poor
bread is the rule, unless the members OF
it hal We an unusually good disposition,
unpleasant controversies will be likely to
OccurL
We're we to give advice to a young
housqkeeper we should say, make your
self master of the art of bread making,
and thus not only promote the health Of
the members of the household, but also
aid in preventing unpleasant words
caused by disordered stomach.
Our mothers had not the material to
make good bread that we have; the
yeast that they used was not as well
adapted to the making of good bread as

Unknown to Fame.

In the still place of graves memorials tell
OF heroes brave and true who fought and fell.
There, too, sleeps those to country true and
God,
As even those whose blood has stained the sod
who sought no mention in the roll of fame,
only to leave unspotted a good name.
They lived that other mortal lives might be
More sweet and true for their fidelity
In lifting others burdens theirs were less.
And blessing other, they themselves did bless.
In stars that bcamed above their peaceful
homes
Brighter than over pinnacle> and domes.
Radiant they read what their reward would be
When mortal put on immortality
Through good report and i'll, thro' cloud and
shine.
Meekly they sought to serve their Lord divine
And 50 passed on as pilgrims TO the Sky,
Contened thus to live and thus to die.

PINE TAR will kill the parasite that causes
Consumption. JADWIN'S TAR SYRUP con-
talns the proper quantity and quality


Some of the best ball players of the
country have received from - 800 up
ward this season for playing, and few
are demanding as high as 81 900 for next
season. 1t is the fashion among our eX-
changes, in commenting on these facts,
to observe sarcasticaly that lit pays
better to be good pitcher or catcher
than to occupy the Governors chair or
preach the gospel" Well, it's a legiti-
mate question to ask, why shouldn't iii?
The minister OF the gospel doesn't take
his life into his hand every time he goes
into the sacred box. He doesn't have to
wear a mask-at least, that's a matter of
choice. Suppose he had to stand there
for two hours, dodge hymn books pitch
ed by the choir, stop hot cobble stones
with his hands, and take the wickedest
darts of the adversary on the fly? Sup
pose at frequent and uncertain intervals
he had to catch a chunk OF coal in his
stomach, make gestures with hand en-
bellished 10y split thumb and bunch
of diSjointed fingers, utter his message
through a nose that had been driven
several degrees into his countenance and
knocked galley west by a foul tip-in
brief, put himself in shape to go limpng
down the ages a straddle- paved, crook
ed-nosed, ramshackle Of a man? In that
case, isn't it probable that the minister
would begin to commune with himself as
to whether he was getting the full pay of
a harvest hand in such a field of labor?
He would have the right to agitate the
subject. 1t is not upon the usefulness Of
the two occupations that their respective
rate of compensation hinges; it's the
wear and tear. Franklin, Pa, indie

Election Echoes.

Dezendorf, the Virginia straightout, rejoices
in Mahone's defeat, and strangely enough, says
the Republicans can carry Virginia if they
nominate a straight ticket.
Mr.. Bruce, Register of the Treasury, who
ought to understand the negro vote South as
well as any one, says he is confident of Re
publican success next year, but that we must
look to the North for it.
John G. New now predicts that the electoral
vote of New York will be cast for the Republi-
can candidate for President, and advocates a
constitutional civil rights amendment. He thinks
1t will be solid North against the solid South
again. Fred Douglass believes in Republican
success.

AccCMCLATING MANURE. The sink
spout must not be neglected, nor the
wastes of the roads in a word anything
and everything that can be converted
into manure should not be despised. The
barn cellar is the proper deposit for ma
nure. 1t should be arranged with good
drainage, where water interteres Alb
sorbents must always be at hand it mat
ters little what they are, providing they
fulfil the office for which they were in
tended. Meadow muck is worthless un-
less it has had ample opportunity to dry.

Care OF Laying Hens.

are rapidly advancing in price, it pays to
give laying hens a little extra attention,

food, and a greater variety will make a
