Mr.. DrSSELL, republican, spoke the
truth in the |. :. House of Representatives
last Saturday when he said it was not the
intention Of either party TO pass a tariff bill
at this session Of Congress. The democrats
don't want to pass ii because they can't get
it low enough and the republicans don't
want to pass it because they can't get it
high enough. and that they both knew from
the first, AMI it was that knowledge that in
duced them TO create the tariff commission
And yet during the whole session the tariff
bill has been discussed to the almost entire
exclusion OF bills that could have been
passed, and that are only second in i'm
portance to a real bona fiic tariff bill This

To ORNAMENT CAKEs.-To make any
kind of ornament for cakes the icing
must be perfectly smooth, and is fit for
use when it retains given shape.
Only simple tools are required for even
rich ornamentation of cakes, and
practiced hands can accomplish great
things with a paper funnel This Is
made like a grocer's cone sugar bag,
with an opening at the point large
enough to admit of the required size
of ornament being forced through 1t.
The tubes of various sizes and shapes
are to be bought, to be fitted as nozzels
to paper funnels; those Of French make
are the best. To make a piping or a
running pattern on a cake, put some
icing into q paper funnel, and holding
it ID much the same manner as a pen,
press out, but not too near the point In
the desired pattern. This can be varied
by using tin tube In the paper funnel,
with the point slit SO as I'd mark the
sugar as 1t Is pressed out. Tubes for
shaping leaves and flowers are made,
and to use these 1t is necessary to have
a lesson, Ii order to secure a uniform
pattern. and even letters on a christen-
ing, birthday, or Twelfth cake. 1t will
be well for An inexperienced hand first
to trace the design lightly with pencil.

Eggs, at average prices, are among
the cheapest and most nutritious articles
of diet. Like milk, AN egg is complete
food in itself, containing everything ne
cesssry for the development of perfect
animal, as is manifest from the fact that
chick is formed from it. 1t seems a
mystery how muscles, bones feathers,
and everything that chicken requires
for its perfect development, are made
from the yolk and white of an egg; but
such is the fact; and it shows how COM
plete food an egg is. 1t is also easily
digested, if not damaged in cooking.
Indeed there is no more concentrated
and nourishing food than eggs. The
albumen, oil, and saline matter are, as
IN milk, in the right proportion for sus-
tanning animal life. A couple of boiled
eggs, with slice or two Of toast, will
make breakfast sufficient tor a man,
and good enough Tor king.
