HOUSEHOLD BUDGET.

COMMON camp chairs are made very orn0 mental by covering with plush and finishing the edge with tiny silk tassels.
 CREAMED CELERY.-Cut in inch pieces md cover with milk, to which, when boil ing, add salt and small piece of butter. Serve hot. This way of cooking celery is delicious
 A HANDSOME cover for round table is of plush, with q border of wide-fowered rib bon, with the design outlined with gold tinsel cord, the edge finished with gold fringe.
 WEATHER should be consulted moro than 1t IS by intelligent housekeepers in thelr cooking. As bright, warm day or evening requires different clothes from cold, damp or rainy day or evening, so there should be different kinds of food for such different oc- casions.
 DECORATED wood baskets for parlor or bedroom are very pretty. Procure com non splint market basket about twenty nches wide, and cover the slats with me talhc or lustra paints, using two shades, and alternating the colors on the slats. Line with light blue cambric or any color to match outside and tie bows of broad satin ribbon to the handle at each side.
 FRUIT FRosTING.-Boil one cup sugar and one third cup water together until it will thread. Beat white of one egg very stiff and pour on the sirup gradually, beating well; add entrants, raisins and citron and spread on top of cake. Stir entrants, seed less raisins, citron, cocoanut or candied fruit of any sort (cut up fine) into the above and spread over the cake.
 CHEESE FRIrTERs-Put about pint of water into a saucepan with piece of but ter the size of an egg, the least bit of cay cnne, and plenty of black pepper. When the water boils throw gradually into it suf- fcient flour to form 0 thick paste; then take 1t off the fire and work into it about one-quarter pound of ground Par mesan cheese, and then the yelks of three or four eggs and the whites of two beaten up into froth. Let the paste rest for 8 couple of hours, and proceed to fry by dropping pieces of it the size of a walnut into plenty of hot lard. Serve sprinkleo with very fine salt.
 CocoANUT CHIPs-.Beat the whites of 8 couple of eggs to g. stiff froth with two ounces of powdered sugar and few drops of the milk of the nut or of orange favored water; cut the kernel of the cocoa- nut into long strips and dip them care fully in the white of egg till thickly coated, then set on sheet of clean, white paper in the oven to bake till crisp, but not col ored. Cocoanut ice is made pretty much the same way, only the cocoanut is minced fine and the mixture, half colored pink, the other half left white, Is run into a lightly oiled mould and baked.

Her f:ody Covered With BruiseS aud he '
 Clothing spnttered With niood.
 PATERSON, N. J., April 1.-The dead body of Catl. ariue Kinney was found yes t-rday morniug in the hallway of her resi- deI ce, No. 59 Marshall street. On the head thS ce was ugly bruise, her clothing was sputtcrcd with blood and the marks of bloody fingers could le seen on the walls. It was apparent that Mrs. Kinney had been up stairs, where her roorls were situated, for the side walls Of the hall along the stairs were also stained with blood. Coroner Goodridge was summoned and an inquest will be held on Friday evening next
 Mrs. Kinney was a peculiar character She owned several houses, and was known to carry considerable money on her person. Suspicious were entertained that she might have been murdered for her money, but n search of her clothing showed that she had about hundred dollars in bills in her pock- ct book. Her corset was curiosity; it was literally lined with silver dollars, the edges had in somo parts worn through tho stuff, so that the garment looked more like an nn- cient cuirass than a modern garment.
 On Tuesday night about II o'clock Quin- ton Kane, clerk of the Recorders Court, and Special Officer William Jones found Mrs. Kinney lying in the gutter in front of her residence. She was apparently in a state of intoxication. This being nothing novel the E5en satisfied themselves with picking her up aud placing her in the hall way of her residence. She then had a bruise on her head, which had apparently been by contact with tho curbstone.
 Mrs. Kinney lived very unhappily with her husband and separated from him about two weeks ago. The theory of the police in the present case is that she was drunk and fell down, sustaining a fracture of the skull, and that in this state she attempted to get to her rooms.

CUSTOMS OF COUNTRIES.

A NORTH GERMAN custom and supersti tion Is, that If the master of the house dies, a person must go to the beehive. knock and repeat these words: "The master Is dead, the master is dead," else the bees will fly away. This superstition also pre- vails in England, Lithuania and in France.
 THE Mexicans have queer way of bury ing the dead. The corpse is tightly wrapped in century plant mating and placed in coffin rented for about twenty five cents. One or two natives, as the case may be, place the coffin on their heads and go in trot to the grave, where the body is inferred, and the coffin is then returned The wealthy class use the street cars as hearses, and the friends follow beside the car on foot.
 A LADY, travelling through Tyrol, over- heard the driver talking to a man at his side on the box, complaining of his occupa- tion. He had worked hard many years, he said, to get money enough to marry; but the sum was far below what it must be before the commune would give him per- mission to marry the woman to whom ne was engaged. It increased so slowly that he dld not know if he should ever get the coveted permission
 THE Samoans, regarding whom so much interest is now felt, are considered the finest race among the Polynesian Islands. They are graceful, pleasing, of good phys ioue. and have a soft and musical language They have been converted to Christianity, and are very moral and honest. On Sun- day no work is permitted on shore, nor are natives allowed, it is said, to work on board ships in port. The sale of liquors Is ab- solutely prohibited.
 A WRITER in Wide Awake relates be- rug present "at tho house of Parsee mer- chant when their evening service took place; and, to my great surprise. 1t was the simple act of lighting their evening lamp. Just at sunset, the doors and wln- dows arc closed, and the family assemble around the large hearth lamp. The mother repairs to an inner chamber, lights her taper at sacred light, kept ever burning in most Parsee houses, mingles her breath with 1t by lightly blowing on 1t, then re- turns to the family room, and lights each one of the seven wicks of the hearth lampi while the family stand around, and, with hands crossed on their breasts, murmur their evening prayer"

WITHOUT WARNING
Four People Killed ill a Rail-
 road Smash-Up.
OTHERS FATALLY INJURED.
A Freight Train Runs Into the Rear Of 8
 Passenger Express.

Tho Private Car Of MT. J. T.. II +f, o1 Brookline, Mass, Tslcscopcsi hy A,n- comotive-No Warning Giv,.a {" tho Unfortunate Occupunts-A i"un. Girl Killed at Her Lovers Side-IIe u:as In- jur. d, Hut VIII Hecover.
 CHICAGO, April IA special from Joliet, H., says that the train that was wrecked near there yesterday was special with the private ear of J. R. Hart, of Brookline, Mass, attached, containing that gentleman and his family.
 The despatch says the train left Chicago Tueday evening at D. m., and reached Coal City, 63 miles from Chicago, promptly on time. Three miles east, near village called Lonrenzo, it was run into, from the rear by special freight which according to all accounts was running wild.
 No warning was given to the the unfor- nate occupants of the private car, and the collision occurred so suddenly and with such force that it was completely wrecked, the locom otive telescoping it nearly to the centre of the car.
 The second car, however, escaped with q wrecked platform and stops.
 The dead and injured were at once extri- cated from the mass of debris and tho in jured taken to Chicago in the sleeping car of the train, which arrived at 9:30 o'clock, two and a half hours l,te.
 The usual reticencc was manifested by the railroad officials, the employees being warned to give no information to the press or private individuals.
 The fireman of the wrecked passenger train was seen and finally induced to talk.
 ''My engine is D 53l, and you can bet we are not to be blamed for the accident. It it,h Ioy.1y hay poSh nd we stopped our engine as quick we could. We were running on time, but the freight was an extra. When she struck us every coupling on the tender of our engine was broken in two. The freight engine ran right through the last coach and then the boiler burst.
 ''The cries of the dying and injured were simply awful. The boiling water had been thrown over them and their flesh terribly scalded.
 s'The brakeman and fireman of the freight must have jumpe d, because they were not fatally injured"
 The corrected list of killed and wounded is as follows:
 Robert Henry Hart, Boston; Miss Alice Winslow, Brrokline; Harry" the porter, Los Angeles; Thomas Smith, cook, Los Angeles.
 INJURED.
 J. F. Hart and wife, Boston, probably fstally; Henry w. Lamb, Brookline, fatally F. L. Palmer, brakeman, seriously scalded and bruised.
 The engineer and fireman of the freight are badly wounded. Their names could not be learned.
 One of tho saddest features of the acci. dent is that Miss Alice Winslow was killed within a few feet of the man who was soon to be her husband. She was engaged to be married to Henry W. Lamb, and the young couple were on their way East to be mar ried. Lamb himself will recover from his injuries. He is now at the Mercy hospital in Chicago, with the other sufferers. The news of his sweetheart's death has not ye' been told to him.

White Caps Took n Hand.

SARATOGA, N. Y., April 1.-The New York Pulp company is embarrassed, and, it is alleged, owed logmen in the vicinity about S4, 500 for logs. On March 23 while John Cowies, foreman of the mills, was walking in the woods near Hadley, he was accosted by a band of men wearing mask over their faces after the manner of White Caps. They told him to warn J. NJ. Stew art, President of the company, that unless he promptly settled with the logmen he would be harshly dealt with. Cowles told Stewart of his adventure. Stewart immed- lately left for New York and few days later the money was sent on. The company is now in the hands of receiver.
