Recipes

DELICIOUS RICE PUDDINe.-Wash and
pick a cupful of rice; put into pudding
mold with one quart of milk; steam for
two hours. Eat with cream and sugar.
BosroN BRowN BREAD STEAMED
Cut into slices a loaf of stale Boston
brown bread. Put kettle of hot water
on the range. On it place the steamer,
put the slices in it, cover and steam fif-
teen minutes. When done butter quickly
and serve on u hot plate.
BAKED CHEEsE.-Take one cup and
half Of finely chopped or grated cheese,
add half a cup of bread crumbs, one cup
full Of milk, one egg, beaten light, lit
tie red pepper and salt to taste. Put 1t
in a buttered dish and bake fifteen
minutes in quick oven. This is good
wav to use the last of piece of cheese,
when it becomes too dry to be nice
alone.
PExRITH PUDDISG.-Cut thin slices of
bread and butter, spread them with
stewed cranberries. Make custard by
MIXING one pint of milk with two well
beaten eggs and four tablepoontuls OF
sugar. II this Is not enough to cover the
bread and butter double the quantity.
Bake until the custard is set. This is
good way to use stale bread. Serve the
pudding cold.
SWEET POTATOES SAUcE.-This is a
very fine way of utilizing left over
sweet potatoes: Fry slice of onion in
a nan; then remove it. Cut up two
boiled sweet potates into slices, then
into dice. and fry them lightly in the
pan. Shape them as you would an ONE
let, add salt and pepper and little
chopped parsley, and turn out on hot
dish. The onion flavor removes the pc
culiar flavor Of the cold potatoes without
its own flavor being recognized. If the,
onion is not objected to it can remain
and be mixed with the potatoes.
KIDNEY BEANS IN GEAvY.-The red
kidney bean, which is called the French
bean by some dealers, is very nutri-
tious and wholesome vegetable, and may
be cooked as our ordinary white bean,
but with q gravy it is more desirable, as
it may be served at almost any meal.
Put in the frying pan an ounce OF but
ter. half a teaspoonful Of dry flour, and
a teaspoonful of minced onion; brown
slightly, and add half a pint of beef
gravy or rich soup stock; add the neces-
sary salt and pepper. Now add quart
of cold boiled beans; simmer long
enough to heat them thoroughly; add a
squeeze of lemon juice, and they are
ready for the table If the beans are
very dry they should be soaked and
boiled before using them
PURE ALA REISE-Boil fowl in two
Quarts of water until tender; add two
sprigs Of parsley, leaf or two of soup
celery, a quarter of an onion, one young
carrot. salt and six whole peppers; sim
mer slowly and add more water as the
quantity in the saucepan evaporateS
Remove the fowl when done. When
cold. skin and cut up the meat Soak a
quarter Of loaf of homemade bread
and chicken together. skim and strain
the broth; place it on the range, but do
not let it boil. Now rub the paste
through a fine sieve, add it to the broth,

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Clean Laces.

Great care should always be used in
cleansing and doing up expensive lace
or fine embroidery, so as not to break
the meshes or threads in the work. They
must never be rubbed, but patted in the
hands. This will take out the soiled
places. Then put into an earthen dish
and pour boiling hot water over them.
Let them stand till cool, then rinse in
clear or blued water, if they are white
if the yellow tint is desired, little
strong coffee put into the rinsing water
Will give the right shade Laces should

iron. Laces treated in this way viii
preserve their beauty until entirely used

Fillmore and the Mouse.

An amusing story is revived, which
General Nye, always an amusing political
speaker, used to employ in the course #
one of his campaigns during the early
career of Fillmore, with ladicrous effect:
"Fellow-citizens: heard to-day an
incident illustrating Mr.. Fillmore's fit
ness for the position. l am told that,
one evening, when he returned home,
Mrs. Fillmore told him that there was
mouse in the meal chest. What did Mr..
Fillmore do, fellow citizensl Did he
out a cat into the meal chest. No,
sellow-citizens. He caught the mouse
oy the ears and then. holding him over
the chest, he carefully blew off every
particle of meal that adhered to him,
and then he let him go. Such frugality,
combined with such humanity, fellow
citizens, commands my vote.

No Senator Ever Arrested.

A Washington letter to the Philadel-
pnia Lefgsr says: If Senator's arrest IS
ordered by the chair he remains in the
custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms until
the Senate directs his release The Presi-
dent pro- TEN. has no more power Once
in arrest the only motion that could reach
the case under the rules would be to dis
charge him from custody, TO refer his
case to committee to suspend or expel
him. No man has ever been actually ar
rested while member of the Senate or
House CT Representatives John Chaun-
cey. who has been an Assistant Sergeant
alarms in the House since 1858, told me
that throughout all the stormy scenes
that have occurred in tine halls of Con-
gress, the extreme resource had never
been resorted to, not even when Brooks
assaulted Sumner, or during the many
fights that took place on the floor in the
DAYS preceding and succeeding secess-
ion. At one time McDougall, of Cali
fornia, caused such n disturbance on
the floor of the Senate, while
that body was in session, as to
interrupt the proceedings. He was
drunk and did not know what he was
doing The Vice President called him
to order repeatedly, and, as he would
not obey, ordered The Sergeant-at-Arms
to take him into custody, but before the
order WAS executed Uncle Isaac Bassett,
who at that time as now was Doorkeeper
of the Chamber, took him by the arm
and led him quietly away. \ resolution
was afterward introduced to expel him,
but it was never acted upon. On the
4th of March, 1871, Willard salisbury,
the Senator from Delaware, and the
brothers of the present Senator from
that State, caused similar disturbance.
His term expired at noon on that day.
He was very drunk and did not realize
the situation. The succeeding Congress
assembled Immediately upon the expira-
ton OF the previous one, and Mr.. Sauls
bury, still supposing that he was a Sc
nator, attempted TO make a speech. The
presiding officer, Mr. Colfax, called him
to order and informed him that he was
no longer Senator. This Mr. Sauls-
bury disputed with a good deal of vigor
Again Mr. Colfax called him to order,
but he still refused to sit down, and the
Sergeant Arms was directed toremove

Family GoYarnment.

With so many examples on the one hand,
which warn parents against overindulgence,
and on the other encourage them in using all
needed discipline, it, is strange that they do
not see and learn to avoid all disputes and
discussions with reference to family govern
ment in the presence of their children. They
not only lose the respect of those who should
naturally look to them for help and guidance
but, still worse, they do incalculable injury
to those whom they should love and protect,
when, forgetting their children's best inter
eSts, and their solemn duty, they dispute and
recriminate whenever case of discipline is
unavoidable, and dare to do SO where their
children and servants can hear and see tho
whole shameful wrangle. 1t will not take
many specimens of divided counsels to COM
plete the mischief begun by the first example.
Children are quick observers, and arrive at
singularly correct conclusions. They soon
learn which parent is the most ready TO con-
ceal their faults and overlook their shortcom-
ings and soon learn to turn to that one for
help to escape punishment, or to secure the
qualification of within which the other has
forbidden. And it is very sad to see how
quickly they learn to care little for either
parent, and that love which is only given
when their own demands are satisfied is
purely selfish, and of little value.-Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher.

The New Edncntinnnl Svstsm.

The experimental course of the manual
some of Now Yorks public schools, and if
the new system proves to I've what its friends
claim for it, it will most likely be made q
permanent feature of the regular school
course. This system is not to be engrafted
upon the old course of study, but combined
with it in such way as not to increase the
demand upon the time or energy of the
pupils. Hours formerly devoted to other ex-
ercises have been either shortened or are
wholly given to practice in some branch of
the new system.
All pupils must begin at the beginning Of
the alphabet, so to speak, of this course; but
naturally those who are sufficiently advanced
will pass rapidly on to what is set down for
the grade To which they belong. For in
stance, those who know how to sew Will not
tarry long in the third primary grade, where
they are taught according TO general direc-
tions in the manual, 1.-THE use of the thimble,
etc" They will go through the eighth grade
of the grammar school, learn to sew on but
tons bless themD and how to put on patches
neatly and to darn stockings, and SO on to
the higher branches of sewing. In the third
grammar grade the cooking lessons begin.
Special teachers will be employed to instruct
not only the pupils, but their regular teachers
as well. In the departments of drawing,
modelling, "shop work" and carpenter work,
the same scope and purpose which govern
the other branches will prevail.-New York

A chapter devoted 20 DR. Hagucs early i'm
pressions of that remarkable parsonage in our
American history, Aaron Burr, deserves
more than a passing notice. The family re-
lationship to his accomplished and brilliant
wife gave the schoolboy almost daily oppor-
tunities for observing the charm of Col.
Burr's manner and conversation. DIR, Hague
enlarges with enthusiasm upon the ease with
which that accomplished man put himself in
communication with people Of every class,
from the highest to the lowest, from the most
cultured to the rudest, old and young alike;
instinctivey quick to adjust himself, as to
thought, tone and manner, to any personal
presence whatsoever, confident in his ability
TO win responsive feeling, and realize the aim,
or even the within, that may have il. ,elled
him at the tiine.n
For illustration he describes the entrance
of the colonel into the parlor, once when he
had himself been left there for moment
alone; ''his physique, air, style of movement,
realize u boys highest ideal Of the soldier
and the gentleman; while his keen and genial
glance and sunny snlile expressive Of per-
sonai interest as real ms if | had been sena-
tor, awaken feeling quickly responsive to
the tone of cheer in his greeting: Well,
VIII, I'm glad to see you. Have they left
you here alonepn Dr. Hague sums up the
aggregate of the impression which this fas-
cinating man made upon him as n boy, and
says that Col, Burr realized to his youthful
conception "the highest type of cultured man
hood, and awakened an intense desire to APP
propriate and assinilate the elements Of
manly power Of which he was ever before
me as the most complete exponent. w. L.
Kingsley in New England
