GOOD OYSTER SOUP.

The oysters should be stewed and then
strained out of the liquor, which is to be
set on the back of the range; the oysters
must be chopped fine, and with rolled
cracker put through colander Tito the
liquor again, when sprig or two of
mace is added, a few grains of allspice,
plenty of salt and pepper and pint of
cream, all the better if some one has had
the time and patience to whip it. When
brought again to boil a delicious bisque
of oysters will be ready for the table.

To 10 pounds of meat take ounces of
dry salt, one-half ounce of pepper and 1
ounce of finely ground sage. Cut the
meat ia strips and then grind all to-
gether. Some people like them with less
sage. When ground the easiest way to
kesp them is to put in long bags of old
cloth, SO that it will tear down easily
when using the sausages. convenient
sized for the bags is 3 inches in diameter,
which reakes proper slices for frying.
Incompatible Pudding is favorite on
Queen Victoria's table. kBeat half a pound
of butter to a cream. stir in the yolks of
six eggs, 6 Ounces of sifted sugar, half q
pound of Suitana raisins, the juice and
grated rind of two lemons, add the whites
of the eggs beaten to a foam. Line a
buttered mold with slices of citron,
blanched almonds, candied orange and
lines or other fruit, angelica, van
lila and rose drops, and pour in the MKT
ure; cover with oiled paper and bake.
Serve with sauce made of butter, lemon
and sugar.
Apple Ice is delicious and very easy to
make. Peel and core some good cooking
apples, and simmer them slowly in a
little water, with sugar, lemon juice and
either lemon peel or lew cloves. When
tender press this through a hair seive,
add an equal quantity of water, and one
quarter pound of sugar to each pound of
fruit, and freeze. Apricot pulp is also
delicious, SO are preserved peaches, done
this way. In either case very little
noyeau, or poonful of noyeau syrup,
is great addition. Ices are improved
by a very little vegetable coloring, which,
without affecting the flavor, muoh i'm
proves the appearance. To mould them
they may, when nearly frozen, be put in
to mould with tight fitting lid, which
must be securely luted with fat of some
kind and plunged in pail of freezing
mixture,

A Great Discovery.

A German physician claims that he
has discovered a sure cure for the
habit of drunkenness. His method is
to give subcutaneous injections of so
luton of strychnine. The discover
or of this remedy declares that in 8
or 4 DAYS after the injection has been
made the desire for liquor disappears,
and that in ten days the patient will
be entirely cured. If this discovery
is genuine it will be one of the great
est boons that modern science has
yielded to mankind. 1t will be far
more valuable than Pasteur's discov-
cries because the evil Of drunkenness
inficts more annoyance and sorrow
upon society at large than the rabies.
Where there is one person suffering
from hydrophobia, there are thousands
afflicted with an irresistible desire for
strong drink and who waste their vi
tality and their substance in order to
crafty their appetite.
That a great many victims of al
cholism would, if they could, give up
their unnatural propensity seems to
be beyond question. But alcoholism
is as strong in its grasp as the tenta-
cles of the devil fish. The clutch be-
comes sure at every qualification Of
the drinkers appetite. BY and by
the victim loses the power of self-as-
sertiveness. IF this simple remedy
can work such wonders as are claim
ed for it, and can snatch from destruc.
ton many man worth saving, who
can measure its benefits to humanity
1t is long stride toward the solution
of the great problem of intemperance,
because it is promised that it will for
ever eradicate the desire for strong
drink. The State could easily and
with effectiveness make this part of
its judicial machinery. Instead of
sentencing drunkard to a reforma-
tory for ten or sixty days, it would
send him to a hospital for the same
period for specific treatment.
The German scientist declares that
there is not the the least question as
to the efficacy of his remedy. The
public which has direct interest in
the discovery, will want to know
something more about it.-Free Press.

The Party Vote.

Had the president been elected by
the popular instead of the electoral
vote, Cleveland would be president
next term instead Of Harrison. On
the other hand, it would have required
the three weeks that have elapsed
since election to determine it, although
more pains would have been taken to
ascertain it sooner had there been
anything at stake.
The total vote cast amounts to H.
2e5, S25-an increase of nearly l.25O,-
900 over the vote cast four years ago.
OF this number Cleveland received
1868, 900. Harrison 5,490,791, giving
Cleveland a plurality of about 49,
400 votes.-Detroit Journal.

The Sugar Trust.

Probably few people understand to
what extent the manipulations of the
sugar trust affects the price of that
necessary article of domestic consump-
ton. In the Chicago Times of a re.
cent date we find the explanation of a
prominent member of the sugar trade
in New York rs to the meaning of
the sugar trust in its relation to the
consumers of the country. Hegives a
table compiled from the trade bulle-
tins of Willett & Hamlin, recognize
ed authority, showing the wholesale
price of graduated sugar from the
LIST of January, 1887, when the trust
got its machinery fairly In motion, up
to the present time. The figures CIV
en- are those which prevailed in each
month, which we're subject to very
slight fractional variations. The Ia
BILE is as follows
January, 1887, s cents.
November. 1857, s SIS cents.
March, isss. az cents.
September, isss, I SIS cents.
November, 1888, ~ cents.
The price for the present month is
given up to the 18th inst. 1t will be
seen that from January, 1887, to No.
vember, 1888, the price has been adj
vanced more than 1 cents per pound.
The average advance for the whole
time has been more than ] cent per
pound. That doesn't look like very
great advance. perhaps, but the Times
shows that it means good deal. Of
fetal statistics show that the consump-
ton of refined sugar in this country is
upward of 3,OOO,0OO,O0O pounds an.
nually. One cent per pound there
fore means $50, 1000, 900 a year. The
actual advance, which is nearer 1t
than / cent, means $37 100000 a
year. That is no small sum to take
from Wholesale purchasers and put in
the pockets of the eleven men In the
trust and four outside of it, or fifteen
in all. 1t is s2,5OO,0O0 on the aver
age to each of the Is. To consumers
it means u larger tax, for retailers
profits must be made on the enhanced
price, and that adds not less than So
900, 900 and probably sl0,000,000 to
the burden of s37 300, 900 imposed by
