Helpful Hints.

TEA Es.-Rub one heaped tea
spoonful of baking powder into Il
pound of -four. Add two ounces ol
butter also rubbed in, a quarter OF Il
pound of sugar and two ounces of
currauts. Mix it with two eggs well
beaten and stirred into halfa pint oI
butter-milk or new milk. Roll out,
make of the quantity six tea cakes.
Bake in moderate oven, and wht n
half done wash over with the yolk nt
an egg beaten up with a teaSpoOniui
of milk. These tea cakes are very
nice cut in slices and buttered cola
for tea.
STUFFED EGGs.--ThiI is good
breakfast dish. Cut some hard boiled
eggs in halves take out the yolk and
mash 1t smoothly with an equal
quantity of grated ham, q little parS
ley, pepper and salt to taste, and a
small lump OF fresh butter. Fill the
cup-like whites of the eggs with this
mixture, pour over them a little
melted butter and heat in the oven.
Serve with each half egg placed on a
neat square of bread nicely fried in
butter.
INDIAN MEAL GRUEL.-Boil one
pint of water in sauce pan, put one
half teaspoon salt in it. mix two even
tablespoons meal with enough cold
water to smooth and thin it, stir this
into the boiling water. Boil gently

with lemon, if yon choose.
MoLAssEs CANDY.-Two cups Of
mOlasses, one cup sugar, one teaspoon
butter, one tablespoon vinegar, stir
in a pinch of soda as you take ii from
the fire, pull until white.
To REMOVE DANDRUFF.- Take OF
bOroX one drachm, rose water one
half pint, tincture of canlharides one.
half drachm, cologne water one half
pint. Mix and apply night and
morning.
When putting away the silver tea
or coffee pot, which is not used every
day, lay a little stick across the top
ander the cover. This will allow
fresh air to get in and prevent must
mess ofthe contents. familiar to hotel
and clearinghouse sufferers.
Save tea leaves from the table, and
steep them for half an hour. Strain
and use the water TO wash all var
nished paint. 1t removes spots, and
gives fresh and new appearance.
Many good laundresses advise
soaping linen in warm water the
night previous to washing, as facili-
tating the operation, and less friction
being required.
Soking calico just previous to the
first washing in strong solution of
either salt or alum, is excellent to
preserve the color.

Delegate Raymond has introduced in
congress a bill extending the iurisdic-
tion of probate courts in Dakota. The
provisions of the bill are:
Probate courts of Dakota in their res
pective counties, IN addition to their
probate juisdiction, shall hear and de-
termine civil cases OF law and in equity
where the damage of debt claims does
not exceed $1,000, and criminal cases
arising under the laws of the territory
where the punishment is not imprison-
ment in the penitentiary or death, and
concurrent jurisdiction with the district
courts in cases Of ofappeals from Justices
of the peace and police magistrates; all
criminal offenses cognizable in the pro-
bate courts to be prosecuted by informa-
ton by the district attorney.
A bill similar to this is now before the
legislature, but the authority of that
body to enforce the act is questioned, as
it conflicts with the organic act of the
territory. Hence congress is asked to do
the work,

Councilman Washabaugh, of Dead
wood, has introduced in the legislature
bill for constitutional convention for
south Dakota. It provides that such
convention shall be held at Sioux Falls,
beginning on the 29th of next Septem.
Der. The convention is to be composed
of Ill delegates, which is one to each
500 votes cast at the last election. The
bill appropriates money to pay the ex-
penses of the convention. 1t does not
contemplate the assumption of the obli-
cations or duties of statehood, but au-
thorizes every preliminary-the creation
of constitution for the state, its adop-
tion and ratification and the election of
a.full complement of state officers. This
accomplished south Dakota will be pre-
pared to 60 to congress and force upon
it the issue of admission. If compelled
to face the question on its merits con.
gress cannot longer refuse Dakota its
rights. Mr.. Washabaugh's bill i. similar
to the one introduced by him at the lsst
session, passed almost unanimously LIS
the Legislature and vetoed by @ dway
It is probable that Governor Piece Nil
sign it.

A Sovereign Is

1 On the 10th of Fcbr 1861, 1 fell from a railroad tram motion. and was badly injured. By the mis- treatment of physicians who used calomel to remove the bruised blood from my system instead of bleeding me, I became the victim of blood poison. A few years after my mis- fortune the poison in my blood made it's appearance on my person, and l had sixty five sores on my left side, from my neck to my toes, of various sizes, from that of dime to silver dollar. l was reduced in weight from 165 to 103 lbs. suffered during all the time from the inaction of my liver and the constipation o! ny bowels. During all these years past have been treated by doctors of the different systems of medicine, with varied success, alternating between hope and fear as to final results. Among them all 1 found no perma- nent relief. Early in January, 1885 Respondent and almost disheartened, determined to take course of Swift's Specific, which, much to my surprise and to the astonishment of my friends, has given me more re lief than all of the remedies of all kinds which have taken in the past twenty four years. The mer- cury treatment left me covered with scars as black as my shoe. Swifps Specific caused them to scale of, and my flesh became white and clear, It's natural color, and the only mark is little browlsh line around the edges where these sores and scars were. My liver is now in fine condition, my bowels acting like clock work regularly every day. My complex ion IS better, my blood clearer, and my whole system is in better condi- tion than it has been since 1 was hurt. I have been citizen of this part of Mississippi for forty five years past, and any citizen or public officer of this county will confirm the state ments have made in reference to my case. LUKE J.

Clinging to Jesus.

One bright summer day l was standing on the sea shore. Behind me were the great white cliffs and before me was the beautiful sea with tue big waves dashing their snow white foam almost to where 1 stood. 12:nund me were pretty shells and pebbles, .s:.S 1ai 5 Aa81ila.las ol chalk, covered over with green moss and loveliest seaweed. And peeping in and out of the sandy puddles which lay between were GU rious little crabs looking after their sea side meal, and burylng them selves in the sand every time l moved. On very large white boul- der or piece of rock, near where l stood, were Q number of limpets in their prettily marked shells clinging to tue rocks. At the sea side l have often seen little boys and girls trying to get them of; but they stick SO last that they cannot move them.
 Having walking stick in my hand, determined that l would have one of these limpet shells. So choos ing very pretty one l tried al first to pull 1t oil with my hand. But no, it chung to the rock so tightly that l could not move it.
 What" thought l, "a little thing like you stronger than l! I'll try my walking stick"
 And so did. Putting one end of it against the side of the limpet, I tried with all my weight and strength to pull it of.
 But no, not Q hairbreadth could l move that tiny little limpet, for it was clinging to the rock. Indeed 80 tight ly did it cling that l could no more move that limpet than l could the rock to which t clung. Though 80 weak little thing, it stuck so fast that it seemed as strong as the rock itself; just as little children, clinging to Jesus, the Rock of Ages, have al mighty strength, and cannot be moved.
 "Well, my little friend" thought 1, "psl see whether cannot have you yet; as one was won't do, I'll try an other" So, having plenty of time to spare, l sat down very quietly upon another rock close by and watched, scarcely moving my eyes off the linn pet for one moment. For long time I watched in vain; there stuck the lit tie limpet.
 But presently l thought l saw it moye little. O, how eagerly l watched them Another minute, and yes, there it was actually moving of the rock.
 "Ah," thought l, "l'll have you now" And with one sudden grasp I had it in my hand, because it was not clinging to the rock.
 Dear young friend, whenever Sa- tan tempts you Lo get away from Je- sus and wander into sin, cling fast to the rock cling to Jesus. My Paper.
