The Congressional race is about
to become quite warm. We learn
that Mason and Lewis counties are
decidedly in favor of Judge Wall,
and, that Fleming will be for him in
the event she has no local candidte.
The Judge has been a faithful and
true Democrat, and has always
worked for Bracken candidates
when she had any. For these rea-
sons, Judge Wall claims that our
county should aid him, and he pro
poses to make a thorough canvass
of the county. We know he has
many warm friends, and trust and
believe he WILDE cordially received.

FOR WASHING DAY.

A practical housekeeper, who has
used the following recipe for tighten
ing the labor of washing day, recon-
mends others to make the experiment
being careful to follow the directions
exactly.
Fill the boiler two-thirds full of
water, and shave a bar of soap in it /;
Ivory is the best. When the water
boils, and the soap is dissolved, add
two tablespoonful and a half of
kerosene oil. 1t will Immediately
unite with the soap, and if you have
been exact with the amount of each
there will be no oil on the top of the
water. Now put the cleanest pieces,
like the table cloths and napkins,
without previous soaking or wetting
loosely into the boiler. Do not put
too many pieces in at time. Boil
nara Tor ten mlnnteS, then rinse
through two waters and hang out to
to dry. Put more pieces in the same
boiler. Examine the articles of body
clothing after they are taken out,
and if not thoroughly cleansed put
them back in the boiler for another
ten minutes, or else rub lightly.
If the washing is very large, there
should be renewal of the soap and
oil, but for an ordinary washing
once is enough. In an hour and a
half the work is all done for a family
of six persons. The clothes are
white as snow, and there is not the
wear and tear of the clothing by rub
bling. Above all, there is not the
wear and tear of nerves caused by
disagreeable labor, or by the more
disagreeable and incompetent wash

DECORATING CAKES. Enquirer"
asks for plain directions for decorat-
ing cakes. Now l will endeavor to
make it as plain as l can. First,
give your cake plain coat of frost
ing. Beat the whites of one egg
very stiff, then stir in powdered
sugar, and make as stiff as you can
spread it on your cake. Smooth
with a knife dipped in water. Set
in warm oven for a few Minutes !;
do not let it scorch. Then beat the
whites of one egg very stiff, stir
powdered sugar until quite stiff, but
not as stiff as the first. Make three
cornucopias of writing paper (small
ones,) PIN them so they will not
come apart. Cut off the small ends
so there is hole for the frosting to
press through. Make three sizes,
fill with frosting, fold the paper over
the top, press through with your
thumbs. If it does not keep in
shape it it is not stiff enough, stir in
more sugar. If you have a steady
hand, cut out your designes and out
line them on the cake by pricking
the frosting with large needle.
Use the cornucopia with the largest
hole in for the large pattern and the
other for small patterns. | have
frosted cakes for three fashionable
weddings. A pretty design is a
horseshoe for the centre, with a
wreath of fine flowers and words,
"Good luck" then a wreath of dali
sizes; finish the edge with two or
three rows of heavy dots.

FANCY WORK AND HOUSE
DECORATIONS.

WALL DECoRATIoNs.-Go where
wall papers are sold and get the odds
and ends of all kinds. You can buy
the remnants very cheap. Cut them
into all sorts of shapes and paste on
a foundation 10 inches wide, or any
width you like until you have several
yards. Then fold it evenly like
paper fan. Hold the folds of one
side together and let the other fly
open until it makes circle, or, If
you like it better, just an immense
fan. Put a large bow where it is
gathered up to cover the fastening
upon the wall.
Another very pretty one is made
by taking palm-leaf fan gliding it
and then fastening bunch of flow
ers on it with bow and long ends
of bright colored ribbon.
Cav colored scarfs made of ribbon
or of bright figured silks and trim
med across the ends with lace are
! the present fancy, and they are sus-
pended from the tops of large chairs
On one aide, draped upon easels and
used h all sorts of fanciful ways.
Any one who can originate some
thing new for herself is fortunate.
A CHEAP FooTREsT.-A tootrest
that the ''good mon" will appreciate
is easily contrived. Get one of the
cheapest camp stools, with canvass
seat and no back, gild the wood and
make tidy to cover the seat. For
this use piece of velveteen suitable
width and long enough to hang over
four inches ON each end. On the
ends embroider ox-eye daisies by
covering a woodenl button mould
with brown silk. Sew them in place
and with the narrow, yellow cigar
ribbons make the petals, and outline
the stems, and do the leaves with
crewels. Finish with table scarf
fringe.
TOILET STAND.-Take dry goods
box three or four feet high, two and
one-half or three feet long and one
and one-half wide, and take bleach
ed cotton, make cover as long as
the box is high (allowing a hem al
each end) and wide enough to reach
across the front, and each end of the
box tapping on the backside few
inches. Make ruffie one or one
and a half feet wide (taken off across
the cloth) hem lower edge two inch
es, upper edge one-fourth inch,
gather one inch below the upper
edge and set on so that the lower
edge will just come even with lower
edge of cover. Drive fat headed
tacks around the top of the box just
below the edge, make button-holes
in the hem at top, and button or
tacks driven in nearly to the heads
For top take piece of the bleacheC
(yard wide) as much longer than the
box as it is wider; hem all arounC
two inches wide and put on to hang
down some distance all around. Tt
make it look snowy white, cover the
box first with white paper. If there
are many little fingers to smut it, i
will be pretty covered with oil rec
calico. A wash stand may be made
in the same way, using a smalle
box, and colored cover.
