To make stewed liver, cut up into
slices half pound of calf's liver and
the same quantity of fat bacon; put first
a layer of bacon at the bottom of the pie
dish, then one of liver, sprinkle with
pepper and salt, add one medium sized
onion and one apple, both cut up; cover
down, and Let it stew gently in the oven
for about one hour and quarter. No
water is required, as the liver makes
sufficient gravy.
A rich roll pudding is made from this
receipt: Mix five ounces of suet which
you have chopped very fine, with one
pound of flour, salt to your taste and mix
with water enough to make light dough
or paste; roll it out until it is about an
inch thick; spread over it a mixture
made by taking the juice and pulp of
three lemons, and making it sweet with
sugar; boil it for about twenty minutes
it should be cool before it is spread over
the crust; roll this up, put it into cloth
and put it into boiling water; let it boil
| for two hours. Serve with sugar and
| cream

Domestic Life Among the Battas.

The Batta does not make his morning
toilet in the house, but at the special
bathing places, or pantiiurs, with which
every village is provided. These places
are arranged at running stream or
canal made for the purpose, by fixing
water pipe of bamboo in such a manner
that a man standing or sitting under it
can have the water run all over his body.
Such baths are taken morning and even
ing. Separate pantjurs are provided for
the women. 1t is one of the morning
duties of the women and girls, even
down to children of four and five years
old, to bring drinking water in the gar
gifts, water vessel made of a thick
stalk of bamboo. The size and strength
of growing girls are generally measured
by the number of gargitis they can
carry.
Let us follow woman into one of the
enclosed dwelling houses. The floor is
made of round bamboo beams about as
large as ones arm, across which are laid
split bamboos lar enough apart to let the
water and dirt through, and make
sweeping unnecessary. Broad, raised
seats and lounges, covered with mats of
various patterns and styles, are arranged
on either side. In the corners are fire.
places of primcval simplicity, hat, square
boxes filled with earth, and upon these
some thick stones, between which the
fire burns quite briskly, while the rice is
cooked in home made earthen vessels set
upon them.
The number of families living in the
house can generally be calculated from
the number of fire places to be seen. No
division is made in the daytime between
the parts of the house occupied by the
| different families, but separation is
made between the sleeping places at night
by hanging up mats. Ordinarily, only
blood relations live together in the same
house. The children of both sexes, after
they have grown up, sleep outside of the
house and not with their parents, the
young men in the sopOs, the girls in par
ties of several with some old widow: but
the children, till they have households of
their own, take their meals with their
parents. AT meals the whole family sit
around the rice pots. They formerly
used leaves for plates, but they now gen.
orally have European plates. AS a rule,
they eat Immediately from the hand,
which is previously washed in vessel of
water kept ready for the purpose. The
nice point In eating consists IN not allow
| ing the tingertips to touch the lips, but
in letting the rice drop from the fingers
into the hollow Of the hand just before it
is given to the mouth.

records there are OF literary giants
performing in sleep tasks that IN wake
full moods they were unequal to. The
great Napoleon, when lad at school,
worked scventy-two hours on difficult
problem in mathematics, fell asleep and
rerched the correct solution.
Coleridge composed "Kubla Khan"
when asleep. The cratic Shelley kept
record of his dreams, and Charles Lamb,
the great philosopher of ease, advised
lying in bed an hour to digest them, and
Byron regarded the revelations made to
him in sleep with superstitious awe.
In sleep we can think and feel, be SUBJ
ject to grief or JOY, boil over with happi-
ness or become petriied with horror.
Men have read aloud when they were
fast asleep. Soldiers have marched, pos
tilions ridden their horses, sewing women
continued their sewing, and even clergy
men written their sermons when asleep.
On the retreat to Corunna whole bat
talions of infantry slept on their march.
History records that Damiens slept on
the rack and was only kept awake by
changing the mode of torture. DR..
Hammond, the late surgeon general of
the United States, says he has seen per-
sons very wearied sleep from pain while
limb was being amputated. Tartini is
said to have composed his Devils
Sonata" from the inspiration he re-
ceived when asleep. in which the devil
appeared to him and challenged him to
contest on the fiddle. Condorcet says
that more than once, when he had
gone to bed wearied with intricate cal
culations which he had left unfin-
ished in his sleep they were finished.
Benjamin Franklin saw the drift of polit-
ical affairs when asleep, and acted on the
inspirations received when awake. DR..
Gregory says that thoughts came into his
mind when asleep that he deemed good
enough to use in his lectures DR.. Mitch
ell, an old New York naturalist, called
attention to Rachel Baker young woman
who preached and prayed in her sleep
with extraordinary effect. Pope says he
could not sleep without poem in his
head. Michael Angelo formed one of the
divinest pieces of sculpture called Sleep.
When old Zach Taylor was inaugurated
as President of the United States his
family missed him at dinner time. A
search was made of the White House
from garnet to cellar and at last the old
war-horse was found sitting in chair
fast asleep. The hand shaking and
parade had been too much, and he had
sought quiet place, with care banished,
to sleep. When General Lafayette visit
ed this country for the last SINE he had
so acquired the habit of touching his
hand to his hat that, iTresistibly, when
doing after dinner, he went on bowling
and touching his hat Cincinnati En-

The Distric: Attorneys.

The Governor, in his message, recon.
mends the propriety Of placing the Dis.
trict Attorneys upon salary. The
has excited considera-
bic interest among the members Of tho
bar throughout the State, and very
grea, interest among the District Attof-
neys themselves. There Is much to be
said in regard 70 this matter The
recommendation is certainly not with.
out merit in more aspects than one.
There are temptations before officers

from his public duties AMI his faithful
discharge Of the responsible trust in his
hands. Offenders realize this and take
advantage Of the situation not infrc
quently by compromising on the costs
and light sentence with the aid q! tho
prosecuting attorney.
On the other hand, human nature
asserts itself in every walk Of life. The

Speaker lingo, in his recent order about

the rule was never intended, nor did il have
the effect to prevent examination of bills

sists, was merely to prevent hilla from be-
ing removed until the Clerk could make up
his minutes, and have the bills ready for

them. The associated press reporter at
