One and three-fourths. pounds of
flour, II pounds of sugar, three
fourths of a pound. of butter, one
pint of milk, five eggs, one nutmeg,
two pounds of raisins, two pounds
Of %currants, II t~easpoonful OF soda.
This will make several loaves.
COCOANUT CAKE. 81
Two eggs, one cup Of white sugar,
half a cup Of sweet milk, quarter of
a cup of butter, l! cups of flour, Il
teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Bake
in a moderate over in pans one inch
deep. To prepare the dessicated CO.
coanut, beat the whites Of two eggs
to a stiff froth add one cup of pull
verified sugar and add the cocoanut,
after soaking it in boiling milk.
Spread the mixture between the
layers of cake and over the top.
APPLE DESSERT.
Pare and cor large, sweet apples,
and fill with butter and sugar. Set
each apple Oh a round piece of stale,
crustless bread. Put a little water
in the pan, sprinkle sugar W all,
and bake till done. Carefully re-
move to the serving dish and cover
with an icing made of the whites Of
two eggs and powdered sugar. Dot
over with bits Of red, acid jelly. Or
the apples may be baked without
the bread, piled up in pyramid form,
and frosted.
WASHING DISHES
Dish washing is supposed to make
the hands rough and red but it will
have a very opposite effect if the
following directions be observed:
Never put the hands in water hot
enough to be uncomfortable; never
scrape any dish with the finger nails,
and wash your hands thoroughly
every time with warm water and
some mild soap, or Indian meal,
which is better; wipe and rub in a
drop Of glycerine and a little cam
phor ice. Dry them carefully, but
not by the fire, before going into the
air, and you hands will be white and
mOOtn If they are not IT VIII Dc
owing to something besides washing
dishes.
TO CLEAN PAINT.
When painted work is badly dis
colored, put a tablespoonful Of am
monia water into a quart of moder-
ately hot water, and with the aid of
flannel wipe off the surface. Rub
bing is not necessary. When the
discOloration is not great, the fol-
lowing method is preferable With
a piece of clean flannel wet with
clean, warn water, and when squeez-
ed nearly dry, take up as much
whiting of the best quality as will
adhere, apply this with moderate
rubbing to the painted work, and af-
forwards wash the surface with
clean water and rub it dry with
channels leather. This method is
superior to the use Of soap, requires
but half the time and labor, and
leaves the surface cleaned, looking
as good as new. 1t will not injure

In the Municipal Court yesterday morning
Terrence O'Hare was arraigned for the muir
der of his late wife, Rose O'Hare. His coun.
sci, Col. A. w. Bradbury and W. Fl. Looney,
waived his examination. After his plea of
not guilty, he was committed to wait the ac-
ton of the Grand jury The late Mrs
O'Hare's father and two brothers who ar
rived from Montreal Monday night, were
present in court.
After adjournment of court O'Hare was
locked in cell No. / at the station house
where he was interviewed through the graf
ing by the father and two brothers of his
murdered wife. They remained talking with
him for more than half an hour, the subject
of conversation being chiefly in regard to the
disposition to be made of O'Hare's minor
children, and the property at his house. They
did not utter any words of upbraiding, the
old man, his wife's father, telling him that
he forgave him his wicked deed. O'Hare
was very much agitated, his hand clutching
the gratings nervously and his whole body
trembling. At the termination of the inter-
view he appeared completely overcome, and
with cry fell upon the bed where he was
left in sitting posture upon the bedside, his
head buried in his hands, uttering means of
anguish. At one o'clock he was remanded

NINETEEN DOLLARS OUT.
How Portland Man Learned Some-
thing at the Circus.

Monday night Mr.. j. S. B. Heath, of the
firm of Heath & Smith, of this city, went to
the circus. When he had looked the menag-
erie over he decided to buy reserved seats
and see the performance. Going up to one
of the fellows who were selling checks for
these seats he rendered silver dollar and
called for two checks. The ticket seller
asked him if he could give him bill as sill
yer was too bulky. Mr.. Heath promptly
handed out dollar bill. The fellow saw
that Mr. Heath had considerable script with
him. and was enboldened sto ask that the
latter take some silver in exchange for ten
or a twenty. Mr.. Heath began to suspect
that the fellow was up to some game, but
thinking he would see how it was played,
handed out 800 bill. The ticket seller
reached down to bag which hung at his
side forsthe silver; but just then another
man, presumably confederate, came up and
said that they wanted no more bills. There
upon the ticket seller thanked Mr.. Heath,
and handed back blll,-the 500 bill as Mr..
Heath supposed, but in reality 81 bill that
had been cleverly substituted Not suspect
ing that the fellow had succeeded in cheat
ing him, Mr.. Heath went his way and en-
joyed the circus. But yesterday morning he
missed his 500 bill After considerable pom
dering he concluded that the ticket agent
had played it ON him after all. SO he sought
Detective True, and told him the circum-
stances. At noon the two left for Lewiston,
where Forepaugh showed yesterday. When
they arrived they sought Forepaughs de-
tective and told the story. The detective
went to the man in charge of the reserved
seats, and the latter, after hearing the story,
for the truth of which Detective True
vouched not only refunded the $40 to Mr.
Heath, but paid the travelling expenses of
both him and Detective True. The fellow
who played the game was an under-Strap-
per, who had just been hired; and the mama
gers of the circus were much pleased that
his knavery had been found out.
