Meatless Soups.

Soups should be largely used by the
economical housewife. They are cheap,
nutritious, and excellent in taste Most
important are those made from the dried
bean, pea and lentil, the three pod Gov
cred vegetables.
ngredients-One pound of the dried
vegetable, one onion, two tablespoons
beef fat, salt and pepper.
Additions-To be made according tc
taste. One-quarter pound pork, or 6
ham bone, pinch of red pepper, or, an
hour before serving, different vegeta.
bles, as carrots or turnips, chopped and
fried.
To Make-Soak the beans over night
in two quarts water. In the morning
pour off, put on fresh water and cook till
very soft, then mash or press through
culIender to remove the skins, and add
enough water TO make two quarts OF
somewhat thick soup. Season. Tbs
soup may also be made from cold baked
beans. Boil half an hour, or till they
fall to pieces; then strain and season.
The water in which vegetables have
been cooked should never be thrown
away, with he exception of beets and
potatoes boiled without peeling. Even
cabbage water can be made the basis Of
good soup.
General Method-Boil the vegetables
until very tender, mash or press through
a cullender, thin sufficiently and season.

WISE WORDS.

Hypocracy is sin in the worst form.
1t is easier to lay plans than to hatch
them.
The world at large judge of us by ow
success.
Work like a man, but don't be worked
to death.
The web of human fortunes is wover
for eternity.
Never intrude i'll health, pains, losse
or misfortune.
Spend less nervous energy each day
than you make.
The reward of one duty done is tho
power to fulfil another.
A grave, wherever found, breaches 6
short, pithy sermon to the soul.
No pleasure is comparable to the
standing upon the vantage ground oj
truth.
The poorest education that teaches
self-control is better than the best that
neglects it.
There is no fit search after truth which
does not, first of all, begin to live the
truth which it knows.
Purity of heart is that quick and
sensitive delicacy to which even the
very thought Of Sin is offensive.
Unless we can cast off the preiudices
of the man and become as children,
doclle and unperverted, we need never
hope to enter the temple of philosophy.
Nothing is so narrowing, contracting,
hardening, as always to be moving in
the same groove, with TO thought be:
yond what we Immediately see and hear
close round us.
What needeth a man to seek things
that are above him, whereas he knoweth
not what is profitable for him in his life,
In all the days of his pilgrimage, and
the time that passes like a shadow.
Men are made to be governed by theii
ideas, their conduct should be the effect
and exponent of their creed, and where
the creed is really believed and not
merely nominally held, this is ever the
case

Household Hints.

A layer of leather on the iron holder
makes it cooler to use.
To prevent a door from creaking apply
little soap to the hinges.
Soda crackers are much better if heated
in the oven Just before using.
To clean steel, rub the article with a
piece of wash leather dipped in kero
sene.
A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will
etiectually delach a fish bone fastened in
the throat.
NIildew is removed by rubbing on
common yellow soap then a little salt
aud starch.
The white of two eggs will render the
deadly corrosive sublimate as harmless as
a dose of calomol.
If pin.cushions are filed with well.
dried coffee grounds mice or moths will
never touch them
A good egg has a clean, healthy look,
ing shell, while bad one has a dull,
porous looking shell
The best thing to clean TIN ware is
common soda; rub on briskly with
damp cloth, after which wipe dry.
For ink spots on floors rub with sand
wet with water and oil of vitriol and ar.
terward rinse with pearlne water.
Silver can be kept bright for months
by being placed in an alright case with
a good sized piece of camphor gum.
Macrame lace is almost as easy of exc.
cution as old time knitting, and, fortu.
nately is coming again into popula
favor.
BY using hot, moderately strong soda
water to clean them, the bristles of haiI
brushes Will remain white and stiiT for
long time.
Orange peel when thoroughly dried OF
baked, is a capital thing for lighting
fires. 1t burns fiercely and gives out an
intense heat
A speed er and cleaner way to remove
the skin OF new potatoes than the com.
mon practice OF scraping with knife i
to ''nse a scrubbing brush"
Old stains on carpets can be removed
at once by scattering corn meal upon
them, also by applying hot iron !
through heavy sheet Of blottiug paper. !
Boiling milk will take out most
fruit stains zip the articles in several !
times; another way is TO dip in sour but |
termilk and dry In the sun wash in cold |
water and dry two or three times daily. |
Stains on marble are the most obsti- |
nate. Take oNgall, a wineglassful of |
turpentine, and mix into a paste with |
pipe clay, spread this paste on the |
stained marble and let it remain several |
days.

Victims OF the Naphtha Habit.

The latest female vice is intoxication
by naphtha. 1t is not drunk. The fumes
of it are simply inhaled, inducing, SC
the inebriates say, particularly agree
able exhilaration. Not even hasheesh,
it is understood, begets more fascinat.
ing dreams, or more gorgeous visions Of
splendor. The girls in the rubber fac.
tories, of which there are great mum.
Der in Boston and its neighborhood, are
greatly addicted to this novel form oi
drunkenness. In such establishments
naphtha is used in enormous quantitie.
to cleanse the rubber, being kept in bla
boilers closed against the air. To the
valves of these boilers the young women
employees readily obtain access and
breathe the exhalations therefrom. somt
unlucky accident having betrayed to 6
chance eXperimenter the abomirabl,
secret. The notion is said to have beer
brought originally from Germany by
immigrant laborers in petticoats. Now
the manufacturers propose to put a stoI
to the evil by keeping the valves care
fully locked.
An overdose of naphtha fumes bringi
on hysterical commissions and other un.
pleasant symptoms. The habit, lone
followed, causes a swelling of the face
and other palts of the body, with dropsy
to follow, and sometimes epilepsy. On the
whole, it is difficult to know which OF
these new tangled vices for women tc
re ommend. There is ether drinking,
laughing gas and tea eating, beside tn,
naphtha. The conscientious pursuit OF
any one of them viii surely lead to the
lunatic asylum. You pays your money
AS one might remark and you take!
your choice. .--Al5aay argus.
