TO KEEP A STOVE CLEAN.

After stovehas been blackened
it can be kept looking very well
for a long time by rubbing it with
paper every morning. Rubbing
with paper is a much nicer why
of keeping a teakettle, cotfeepot
and teapot bright and clean than
the old way of washing them in
suds. Rubbing with paper is also
the best way of polishing knives,
tinware and spoons; they shine
like new silver.

HINTS IN WASHING.

A teaspoonful of borax put in
the last water In which clothes
are rinsed will whiten them sur
prisingly.P Pound the boraxsoit will
easily dissolve. This is especially
good to remove the yellow that
time gives to white garments that
have been laid aside for two or
three years.
One Of the wisest precautions
to take when you are baking is
to have the owe perfectly clean,
and yet it is one that is often neg
lected and many an otherwise
faultless dish has been spoiled by
the sitting of ashes from the up
per CRATE iii the oven.

EGG PIE.

.Hard-boiled eggs taste good at
any time, but never 50 we'll as
when, like the four-and-twenty
blackbirds, they are in a pie.
Boil a dozen eggs hard ,aud, when
cold, shell and slice them and put
them in layers in a buttered pie
dish, alternating with butter,
breadcrumbs, pepper and salt, and
covering them with the mixture.
Add a cupful Of cream and bake
to a brown.

COFFEE CAKE.

One cup of butter, one of sugar,
one of molasses, one of strong
coffee, clear and cold, three eggs,
one teaspoonful of soda, five cups
of -four, one pound OF raislns, one
teaspoon of cinnamon, one Of all
spice and a half nutmeg. Beat the
butter to a cream, then stir In the
sugar. Sift the soda in the mo-
lasses and add next, then put in
the spices, and the eggs thoroughly
beaten with an egg-beater, and
last the flour. The raisins should
be cut in halves and stoned, unless
they + large, when it is bet
ter to chop them. They should.
be stirred in the cake just before
it goes in the oven.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-02-10

!" When the coffee is ground as
tile as possible, put it in a little
bag OF unbleached muslin, which
should be tied tight enough to
prevent the escape ofthe grounds.
1t you s a cup of unground cof-
fee you can make over a quart of
very strong, black coffee. In
making coffee many people sac
ritice flavor for strength. Bitter
ness comes from boiling. When
boiling water is placed OH the
bag OF ground coffee, it sh ,uld
stand at least three minutes be-
fore serving. Remember, the
longer it stands the stronger it
becomes. Be careful not to alloM
the watered coffee to boil.

HOMEMADE SOAP.

= E-t ~
Take ten pounds of potash and
twenty pounds of common grease,
such as is generally saved In a
kitchen, without any large bones
in it. Put the potash in a kettle
(iron is better than-tiG,-but-a an
old wash boiler will do); add four
or five quarts of water. After
the potash is dissolved add your
grease, and boil until the grease is
all eaten up. Then take q little
ont in a dish, add some water to
it, and let it stand until cool. If
it is thick it is. done. If it should
be lyey, add more water. Strain
into a fish barrel and fill the bar
rel up with hot water, or put in
wash-tubs, After it is hard, cut
1it.out in large pieces and spread
it out to dry. 1t will turn dark;
but no matter, it will make the
clothes white and beautiful.

A pretty dish for desert is
made by beating the white OF
four eggs to a stiff froth, and
then add gradually q cup of pow
dered sugar. Take thejuice from
a can of red raspberries, strain
it and color and flavor the eggs
with it. Serve in glasses with
cake or charlotte russo
~ TEA CAKE. -
A very good cake is made by
beating to a cream half a cup OF
butter and two cups of sugar, with
one cup of milk and a teaspoon
full of soda dissolved in it. Beat
well together, then add one cup
Of -four with two teaspoonfuls of
cream of tartar rubbed in it and
the well-beaten yolk Of three
eggs. Beat the whites separately
until stiff; add them and two
more cups of -four to the other
ingredients; beat well, butter
two tins, pour Fin the cake and
bake twenty minutes or halt an
hour. Carefulness in baking is
important.

A representative of The LEADER took
a trip around among some of our business
houses yesterday for the purpose OF
ascertaining what the present business
outlook in Cheyenne is at the present
time.
This is always our dull time of the
year said o. +. Cowhick, of the firm of
Comhiek K Whitcomb and while |
think | can say that business in our line
and at our place is not as good as it was a
month ago, | am very certain, in fact |
know, that it is considerably better than
it was one year ago now"
One Of the gentlemen connected with
another leading firm when asked how
business was, replied well, business
is rushing to-day, and | don't know as we
can find much fault with it as it comes
one day with another"
Others told substantially the same
story, and upon the whole it is pretty safe
tn announce that the business outlook in
Cheyenne, as each and all of those inter
viewed yesterday agreed, Is that business
will take a boom" in a very short time.

A legislative excursion will be in order
in about three weeks, Judging from some
whispers that are heard.
The question of fish culture promises
to be a very interesting one before the
present session of the Legislature con
cludes.
There is a plan on foot in the house of
representatives to change the desks of the
members so as to have them face the east
wall of the building, and move the
speakers stand to that side also. 1t is
thought that by doing this the members
will be able to hear and be heard much
better.

which, However, Did MT Kill the In-
tended Victim.

Late last night those who were on the
streets or at other places within hearing,
were startled by the report OF two pistol
shots fired in quick succession near the
Tivoli corner. A grand rush was made
for hat point by the police and about
everybody else who heard the shots, but
for a considerable time it was impossible
to learn what had occurred. Policeman
Nolan and Officer Dietrich were on hand
soon enough to see three colored men
running down Ferguson street toward the
railroad track, and ono OF them, William
Gray, was captured by Officer Dietrich in
the alley below the Tiyoli. Gray was
called upon to explain what the shooting
meant, and stated that near the Tivoli
corner Alex. Galloway, a colored man,
had twice shot at and had probably in
jured another colorcd man whose nam
Gray either could not or would not tell.
In the rush that was made to catch Cal
loway, who had not at that time disap-
peared, the officers lost sight of Gray,
whom they subsequently made search for.
Parties who were in the Tivoli at the
time state tina. Immediately after the
shots were fired a largc-sized colored man
rushed into the hall and made for the
south door, exclaiming Let me out,
let me outl" and that he was followed by
another colored man A party who was
standing across the street at the time the
shots we're fired stated that he saw two
men standing close together near the
Tivoli corner and heard some loud words,
when he saw one of them draw a re
volver and fire two shots at the other,
and thinks the man fired at must have
been hit.
1.-THE affair. up to a late hour, appeared
to be a very mysterious one, and what 1t
was all about no II appeared Ia know.
At last accounts the police had not sue
cceded in capturing Galloway, or of ascer-
tanning anything in regard to the matter
other than is stated above.

police against the class of people we have
had in our midst, called "tin horns"
This raid is now practically over, fortaking
the hints which they received in various
ways, ten of that class left the city ycster-
day for more congenial climes. Others
left the night before, so that there are
but few of them left in the city.
