Household Hints.

Batter Pudding-NIix smoothly one table
spoonful each of -four and sugar, with pint
of milk and pinch of salt. Pour it into a
well-buttered pie-diSh and leave it in a slow
till set 1t must not boil.
Cornstarch Cake.-Two cups of white sugar,
one cup of butter the whites of five eggs beat
en- to a froth, one cup of sweet milk three tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, two cups of -four
and one of corn starch; flavor to taste.
Amouretten.-steep some neatly shaped
slices of bread, without crust, in a custard of
egg milk and little sugar, well beaten to-
gether. Fry golden brown and serve very
hot, with a squeeze of lemon and sifted sugar
over them.
Pearl Barley Pudding-Simmer a table
spoonful of pearl barley till thoroughly
swelled, in milk. Lay it in pie, dish pour. in
the milk and a little sugar; place some tiny
pieces of dripping (wen clariied) on the top
and bake.
TapIoca and Apples-Core the apples and
stew them, well covered with water, either
whole or in quarters, with sugar to taste, till
tender. Boil three or four ounces of tapioca
till liquid, pour it on the apples and bake half
an hour. Serve with a jug OF milk.
Blackberry Wine.-Measure your berries and
bruise them; TO every gallon add one quart of
boiling water Let the mixture stand twenty
four hours stirring occasionally; then strain off
the liquor into casks; to every gallon add two
pounds of sugar, cork tight and let it stand
until the following October and you will have
wine ready for use without further labor
Small potatoes are very nice cooked in this
way Peel them and boil in sailed water; do
not let them boil until they are soft. Beat one
egg, and have ready some fine cracker crumbs;
roll the potato in the egg and then in the
cracker and fry in butter until a light brown,
turning frequently that the color may be uni
form; or the potatoes may be dropped into hot
lard. In this case a cloth should be laid over
plate and the potatoes should be drained for q
moment in this before sending them to the
table.
Entire Wheat Muffins.-For a dozen mullins
there will be required a cupful and half of
entire wheat flour, cupful of milk. one-third
OF cupful Of water, an egg, a teaspoonful of
cream of tartar, half teaspOonful of soda, half
a teaspoonful of salt and two tabespoonfuls of
sugar. Mix the dry ingredients and sift them
into bowl. Beat the egg until it is light, and
add the milk and water 10 it. Pour this mix
ture upon the dry ingredients, and beat them
quickly and vigorously. Pour the batter into
buttered muffin pans and bake for twenty-five
minutes in a rather quick oven. The batter
will be thin and will give moist muffin, but
that is as il should be.

There has been an unusual supply Of
the small fruits this year, and the prospect
seems goods for a large crop of apples,
pears and peaches; yet, with the excep-
ton OF blackberries, prices have been bet
ter than during some previous years.
Whether the markets can be over-sup-
piled OF not depends not so much on the
quantity OF fruit shipped as upon its quail
ity and the condition in which it arrives
A few years ago, when the markets were
fully supplied with strawberries, which
had fallen IN price as low as three cents
per box, a certain grower sold all he
could send to market at fifty cents per
box. They were so superior to anything
OF the kind sold that they were at once in
demand upon arrival, and the price was
even enhanced by the comparison with
other kinds sold at the same time. This
demonstrates that paying crop does not
depend upon the number of bushels sent
to market, but according to the quality,
which represents expense and labor
While the crops are growing larger every
year, so is the average quality, and prices
have corresponded with the quality every
season. Growers who sometimes become
discouraged should not overlook the fact
that population and demand are increas-
ing, and that as buyers become educated

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Produce.

CHICAGO, Aug 13-Wheat opened with a show
of strength, but prices could stand; there were
too many things against the market. The early
prices made very largely on the strength of
bes reterating the bad weather reports on the other
side 1t this side the trouble was found.
The export buying did not keep up with the bearish
foreign adveeS. But greater than anything else was
the tremendous increase in the visible supply which
was put down at 2,227,000 bushels. This partly
discounted early when September went from sS1sc
down to $3.50, but the visible figures posted later,
and the prospect of $50 here tomorrow, caused
further decline to &c, shortly before the close
break OF l. &c from the opening price. The corn
ket was heavy one. The decline was the result of
pretty fair selling, helped along by liberal receipts
and the general weakness prevailing in other cereals
September opened at Saturday prices, 431sc, went
down to Az for bottom and rallied tribe before
the close on buying 10 cover In oats weak specu-
lative market was witnessed. For all deliveries
prices show depreciation which is most severe for
near futures. Provisions only moderately act
i've in the speculative branch of the trade and the
volume of business under the recent average. The
feeling rather nervous aud prices unsettled with
the tendency downward after show of strength
early on smaller receipts of hogs at the stock yards.
Later, in sympathy with the break in wheat and
corn, and under free selling OF futures OF local
house, there a down turn Of 3219d3712c in mess
pork, 2z5c in lard and l214c in ribs. Just at the
close the market recovered part of the ground lost,
the latest bids for pork being only loo under Satur-
days closing, and for ribs 215c off, September was
the leading future.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
