Household Hints and Recipes.

A teaspoonful of lemon peel chopped
very fine and added to the gravy of fowls
or game is considered a good addition.
Pear sauce is sometimes improved, if
the pears seem rather tasteless, by add
ing few figs to the sauce before stew
ing.
Paint spots may be removed from any
kind of clothing by saturating with
equal parts of turpentine and spirits of
ammonia.
Apples that are too tart to make
agreeable sauce can be deliciously toned
down by adding about third of the
quantity of dates. Sweeten well, and
serve cold.
When frying cakes, instead of LAYING
the hot cakes on a plate, lay them on
colander, set that on plate, so that any
fat which drips from them will drop
through the holes in the colander, and
not be soaked up into the cakes to rem
den them unfit for use.
A dish which is regarded with favor
is made by boiling some beets until
they are perfectly tender, then chop
them fine, and mix with them an cqaul
quantity of stewed tomatoes; heat them
to the boiling point; season with pepper
and salt and little lump of butter; send
to the table very hot.
A very appetizing way to cook onions
is to boil them in salt and water until
they begin to be tender; drain the water
from them, and wrap each onion in soft
paper, set them side by side into drip
ping pan, let them bake until done, and
put them into vegetable dish and pour
rich brown gravy over them; Spanish
onions are especially nice cooked in this
way, as they have so delicate a flavor.
Excellent okra soup is made by fol-
lowing these directions Cut one pound
of round steak in small pieces; brown
them nicely in butter; while browning,
slice an onion in very thin slices, and put
into the saucepan with the meat. Put
three quarts of cold water in the soup
kettle; put the meat and onions into
this, and boil or simmer for an hour
then add one pint of sliced okra, and let
the soup simmer for about three hours
season with pepper and salt, little but
ter, strain ID, and serve it while very hot.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Milk for Cheese.1Inkiug.

A patron of a cheese factory in Penn.
sylvania had his milk condemned, but
after being out in the heat and sun till af-
ternoon it made butter above the average
quality by setting in pans in the cellar.
The milk is described as being "perfect-
ly sweet but had an odor." ANY milk
from cows in fair health, which is sweet
and clean, will make good cheese, and if
1t fails to do so the fault will be in the
making and curing, and not in the milk,
whether it has can odor' or not. When
Objectionable odors occur in milk of which
butter is to be made, the most efTectual
way of disposing of them is by heating
the new milk from 140 to 100 degrees.
when the greater part of them will be-
come aeriform and be driven off, but
some portion of them is pretty sure to be
too stable to pass off in that way, and
being of an oily nature, they cling to the
fat in the cream and go with it into the
butter, to the injury Of its flavor and dur
ability. Some alienation may also be
had by airing the fresh milk and by
slightly souring the cream, the sour but
termilk absorbing the odor, but none of
these means amount to perfect purifica-
ton.
In the manufacture of cheese it is diff
ferent. Every shade of what is known
by the synonymous terms, ''cowey odor"
''anmal odor" and 'taint," and also the
odors and tlavors of strong weeds, can be
wiped out by airing the warm curd a
sufficient length of time, provided clean
and sweet rennet is used and the curd is
got out of the whey before acid sets in.
This is important, as the sour curd, like
the sour buttermilk, absorbs and holds
all odors tenaciousy, and hence if sour
ing is allowed to precede the airing the
good effects of airing the curd is coun-
teracted. The more complete removal
of odors in cheese making than in but
ter-making, enables the skillful manu-
facturer to make fine cheese out of milk
which holds odors that would lure it
for butter making. Hence milk which
will make average butter, will make first
class cheese, but it will not do so if the
acid process of cheese making, by which
is meant leaving the curd in the whey
till distinctly sour, is followed. -ProteS

The backs and seats of chairs, lounge
and the like, where formed Of fancy
colored silk or wool embroidery, are
cleaned by professionals as follows: The
needlework is thoroughly beaten and
brushed to remove dust; it is then well
rubbed with damp bran or bread two
days old. Then it is cleaned with ben
zine applied with a soft flannel, and
finally rubbed as dry as possible with
soft clean cloths. Articles cleaned with
bcnzine are most quickly deodorized by
exposing them to the heat, which dries
out the benzine entirely. AS benzine is
infammable, this should not be done I'M
til they appear to be quite dry.

The Name or "Nihilist."

Turgenief is generally believed to
have invented the name of Nihilist; but
although he revived the use of it he
cannot be regarded as its originator.
Some fifteen centuries ago St. Angus
tine, bishop of Hippo, used the same
substantive in almost the same sense.
"Nihilisti appellantur, he says, "quia
nihil credunt ct nihil decent" To
judge from this the African Nihilists
who plagued the pious father in the
fourth century were much the same peo-
pile as their cousins of our times, minus
press and dynamite. st. Augustine re-
ferred to those black sheep of his do
cese, whose only aim was to destroy and
deny everything that could either be
destroyed or denied. Pail Mall Budget.

German Matrimonial Exchange

The establishment of "matrionial
exchange" is late Berlin movement
Its object is the promotion of marriages,
for the patriotic purpose of increasing
the German people. In the marriage
chamber of commerce, single people OF
all ages, and both sexes meet, and those
who fancy each other talk matrimonial
matters over in couples, and agree or
disagree as the case may be, and nobody
hurt. 1t is a practical proceeding, with
no manner of sentiment in it, but such
parties are generally in earnest, and
mean business. No time is fooled away
in moonshine. The object is wedlock,
and the conversations are directly to
the purpose, and sometimes couples
join their fortunes upon mutual faith,
sometimes references are given and re-
quired, and nearly always, if the ear
nest man or woman sticks to it, the re-
suit is match more or less eligible
The entrance fee to the chamber is ST. :
so for Berlinese, and 50 25 for provin-
cials, which entities them to admission
until their object is attained, or all
hope is abandoned. All parties con-
tract-in case of their marriage through
the agency of the chamber-to pay the
association one per cent. of their annual
income during their welded lives.
This novel chamber of commerce seems
to work well in Germany, and may
serve the patriotic purpose, while It
adds to the general happiness of man
kind.

Don't Fret

When I see woman, with that beau
tiful countenance which has won the
heart of her husband, darkened by a
frown, constantly fretting and making
all about her uncomfortable because
there will be "dlrt somewhere, the
maid servant is slow, and don't under
stand her business, baby is cross, al
ways crossest when much is to be done,
husband is unreasonable, didn't want
ME to do anything before marriage, ex-
poets more of me now than can do, {"
and so on, I am tempted to exclaim,
Hush, dear woman, these useless,
sinful repinings! examine yourself j;
perchance the blame lies at your
own door after all. There is a
talisman possessing a magic charm
that will scatter all these evils. It is
cheerfulness. The maid-servant is
quickened and improved by kind, en-
couraging words. The very cast of
your countenance, the tones of your
voice, are forming the temperament of
that little one. Then, let your hus-
band see that instead of termagant and
fretter, his wife is gentle, kind, un-
complaining, self-denying, shedding
peace and happiness around his hearth,
and frightening his home by the sun
light of her smiles. A man of sense is
not slow IN discovering the gentler vlr-
tues of his wife. The secret of her in
fuence over him lies here. 1t is the
mystic tie binding him to her, that
aught of earth, nor death itself. has
power to sever.

Foreign Flashes.

A Shanghai dispatch to the London Hmea
states the Franco -Prussian alliance means the
disintegration of China and its partition be-
tween those two countries; France taking the
three southern provinces and Russia, having
China as recruiting ground for her armies,
the two countries being connected by railways.
The alliance also means Franco Russian pre-
ponderence in Europe, and therefore fraught
with danger to Germany. 1t also means the e1-
tinction of the China trade, and imperils all
the English possessions in the east
Apropos of the popular agitation in favor Of
the franchise bill London Truth says: The
cabinet is greatly impressed by the attitude Of
the country, and has resolved to create fresh
peers if small majority of the house of lords
rejects the franchise bill second time. IT,
however, tho bill is rejected by large mojori.
ty, parliament will be asked to express it's
views regarding the future constitutional posi-
ton of the house of lords, either by resolution
or address to the crown If the resolution Of
parliament is brought about this autumn, the
country will be consulted, not regarding the
commons but regarding the lords. This policy
has been consented to by the queen, and the
the franchise bill is brought before the house
of lords again.

1t is sometimes specifically argued
that the great crops of American sta
pies the country has garnered this year
cannot be accounted very important
facts in the improved times business
men expect. Prices of the principal
products undoubtedly rule low, and
may continue so, such an immense
amount has been gathered at the har-
vest, and the European market will not
call for any extraordinary supply from
us, as the yield on that side of the at
lantic is reported to be very good. Let
us form some opinion of what has been
actually added to our national wealth
the past year. To do so, we will only
cite three of our many crops. 100000
600 bushels of wheat have been har-
vested by our farmers and 1900, 900
bushels of corn. At the present almost
phenomenally low prices, the wheat and
corn raised in the Union during the
spring and summer would be worth ST.
482, 100000, which would more than
pay the national debt-$1, ) ,437 1000 900.
Add another of the American staples,
cotton, in which the product has been
larger than ever before with the excep-
tion of single year, mounting to the
aggregate of 5,714,052 bales, worth at
least $3.50, 900, 900, and we have abund-
ance of golden reasons for feeling the
strongest faith in the growing prosperi-
ty of the republic.
