A. Ekin, of Louisville, Ky, whom DIR. Butler
introduced as former member of the church.
Gen. Ekin referred to the memorial character
of the church building, which was built as
token of gratitude TO God for the preservation
of the national life in the last war; He was a
member of the building committee, but to the
pastor was due the credit of having given the
building the name of the Memorial church.
After explaining that this depression was due to
the fact that former associations had been
called to his mind by the surroundings in
which he found himself, he proceeded to speak
of the events which the occasion commence
rated He said that Congress in adopting the
program of the first Inauguration providing for
attendance upon divine worship. had recog-
nized the existence of God in a very significant
manner. In confirmation of the religious SEN
timent of the day, he quoted from let
Gus character of Washington and his
constant habit of prayer. He thought that it
was no wonder that this had been a prosperous
nation. Religious services are being held in the
same church in New York city where they were
held one hundred years ago. Washington's
successor, General Harrison, is to-day occupy-
ing the same pew that General Washington
occupied. While there have been great changes
In this country the influence of the Gospel of
Christ has not been lost. The President of to-
day is following in the footsteps of the first
President He spoke of the great increase in
the population of the country and contrasted
the condition of the country generally with
that Of one hundred years ago. The church
he thought had maintained a greater proper
ton of growth during the century that has Just
closed. The outlook for the future he regarded
as favorable and he predicted greater activity
in religious circles.
The concluding address was made by Rev.
DR.. Butler, who spoke OF the significance Of
the event and some of the lessons il conveyed
Services were also held at the English Luth-
eran church, and the pastor, Rev. DIR. Domer.
delivered a sermon which was patriotic and

Feeling Hurried.

Probably nothing tires one SO much as
feeling hurried. When in the early morn
ing the days affairs press on ones atten-
ton beforehand, and there comes the
wonder how in the world everything is to
be accomplished; when every interruption
is received impatiently, and the clock is
watched in distress as it's moments fit
past, then the mind tires the body. We
are wrong to drive ourselves with whip
and spur in this way. Each OF us isprom-
ised strength for the day, and we must
not wear ourselves out by crowding two
days tasks into one. If only we can keep
cool and calm, not allowing ourselves TO
be fustered, we shall be less wearied when
we have reached the even tide. The child
rem may be fractious, the servants try
ing, the friend we love may fail to visit
us, the letter we expect may not arrive,
but if we can preserve our tranquility OF
soul and ofdemeanor we shall get through
everything editably.-Exchange

Hot Weather Hints.

During the warm days try to have at
each meal one very tempting, cool dish.
Fruit is best for breakfast. Rice puddings,
also those of tapioca, or gelatine, which
have been set until very cold are delicious.
Decorated with flowers and green leaves
the table is far more attractive than If
left unadOrned. Have some flowers in
each room, if possible. 1t will rest you
to look at them.
Even clean towel (if you have no light
tidies) spread over the bright cover OF
the rocking chair, invites one to take q
seat by it's very suggestion of comfort
and GOODNESS.
Make the best of what you have, and
use everything to the best advantage.
Let home be just as cool and inviting as
you can make it; and ere you are aware of
it summer, with it's warm days, will have
passed. Good Housekeeping.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-08-21
Go Slow On Ice Water.

Waterfor drinking purposes should not
be below fifty degrees. We can almost
always get it, even in the hottest weather,
as cool as this by letting it run for
minute or twofrom any household faucet,
or drawing it from any country well, if
there is no objection to cooling it to
the point mentioned. The East India
monkey" which can now be had almost
anywhere in this country, and by means
of which the contained water is cooled by
it's own evaporation, anwers the pur-
pose admirably. | am quite sure that
if ice-water should be generally discarded
as drink, the average duration of life
would be heightened and existence rem
dered more tolerable. DR.. William A.
Hammond.

Some Hints for Our Readers = All
About Figs, and So On.

Save your baking powder cans. We
wanted to make boiled batter pudding
for dessert the other day, and what to
boil the pudding in was the question.
Every dish was either too large or too
small, or not of the right shape. We
thought Of those delectable boiled pud-
dings and apple dumplings which our
mothers and grandmothers used to make,
rolled in Toured cloths and pudding
bags, and of which we children never
could get enough, especially if Maple syr
up was to be eaten with them; butall this
was too much trouble now. Fortunately
a couple of one pound Royal Baking
Powder cans stood on the shelf. These
we we'll buttered cover and all, and then
poured in the batter, not quite two thirds
full, made as follows: Three cupfuls of
-four, two tablespoonful melted butter,
two eggs, salt, one teaspoonful baking
powder, and enough milk to make a
moderately stiff batter. We put in few
stewed wild plums, the juice all strained
off (but prunes, rasins, or dried fruit will
do) and then set the cans firmly in a
kettle of boiling water and boil fully one
hour; when 10, they slipped out nice long
rolls, ready to be sliced in just the right
shape.
We ate liquid sauce with this pudding,
made with one-half cupful OF sugar, a cup
full and half of boiling water, table
spoonful of butter with a trife of corn
starch to thicken it; made a little acid

have no lemon in the house) favored with
vanilla and nutmeg.

bags. Figs prepared in this way make
delicious lunch, accompanied with bowl
of milk. They also help to make nice
dessert for the school children's dinner
pails-far wholesomer than the pie and
cake which form too large part OF the
American children's diet. The figs |
packed in bags last year have lasted un-
till now as fresh and soft as when put up.
1t is very necessary that they should be
ripe when gathered.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-08-21
Keeping Dried Figs Soft and Fresh.

We clip the following from an exchange:
Now the figs are ripening again, Iwould
like to give your readers the benefit of a
method for keeping the dried figs soft and
fresh learned last year, and which per-
haps may be rev to some. After the figs
are gathered and dried in the same way
that peaches are, or apricots, wash them
to remove all dust and grit, then spread
them on shallow pans and set them in the
oven to become thoroughly heated. Great
care must be taken to prevent scorching.
Then roll them in powdered sugar, which
has been rolled to remove all humps.

VEGETABLE COURTSHIP.

potato went out on a mash
And sought an onion bed;
"That's pie for me- observed the squash,
And all the beets turned red;
''Go away' the onion weepingly cried,
''Your love cannot be,
The pumpkin be your lawful bride,
You cantelope with me-
But onward still the tuber came
And lay down at her feet;
You caulifower by any name
And it will smell as wheat;
And I, too, am an ear rose,
And you I've come to see,
Do don't turnip your lovely nose,
But spinach at with me.
/ do not carrot all to wed,
SO, go, sir, if you please!
The modest onion meekly said
And lettuce pray have peas;
SO think that you have never seen
Myself or smelled my sigh;
Too long a maiden have been
For favors in your rye.
All! spare Cress, the tuber prayed;
My cherry-shed bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with mel
And as the willy tuber spoke,
He caught her by surprise,
And giving her an artichOke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

we would be surprised that it takes SO
little fire to keep them hot Why not
have sheet iron cover made with holes
in it for the handles Wouldn't that be
better, SO that the handles might not get
too hot?
The same lady, who, by the way, is al
ways looking out forways ofsavingl labor
as well as discomfort, says she fries salt
pork in this way: She freshens and fours
in the usual manner, and then bakes it in
a spider in hot oven. 1t will be crisp

left in it, and the house is not filed with
smoke as in frying, either.
WHAT a comfort it is to live within a

feeling that we have 'overpowered' these
hot Augustdays, rather than they should
Hoverpower" us! To be able to main
tain respectable, friged, north latitude
air of conscious dignifed equality with
other people in the world who deal in
cool luxuries, and who seemingly love to
commiserate us Floridians on our prox-
unity to the equatorial regions is posi-
lively gratifying, especially when we read
of Northern thermometers, which never
told lie, registering 1899 in the shade!
All, We poor inland shut-in sufferer in

HAVE our hOusekeepers made any fig
Jelly this season? Ii not, try our way
Like all other fruit for Jelly, the fig should
not be over-ripe Peel them and put in a
preserving kettle, with water to just
about cover them we'll Boil them 1ntil
soft, then strain carefully. Boil the juice
by itself for fifteen minutes. Then put in
your sugar-one half pound to pint of
juice is sufficient for figs-then boil only
about three minutes, as too much boiling
will make it dark; pour it into your
glasses and let it stand until the next
day. Ii you have no covers for the
glasses, wet bits of paper in brandy, and
put on the Jelly to keep it from molding
and then paste a piece OF thick white
paper over the whole.

FIG JAM.

This is made quite easily. After the
juice has been carefully strained from the
figs without any squeezing for the Jelly,
take the balance and rub through the
colander. Add one-half it's weight in
white sugar. Then boil very carefully in
deed, to keep from burning, until it is of
the right thickness. 1t may be favored
with lemon or other extracts, but we pre-
fer the real fig flavor without any dis
guises.

ANOTHER HINT.

If your lamp chimneys are too small to
wipe easily with clean dry cloth, rinse
them well and set them over a crack on
your kitchen table, They will dry clear
and bright. Set your pies after they are
done, over a crack too, or on colander,
so that the air may rculate freely under
them when cooling. The under crust will
not be as apt to be soggy.

w. C. Notes,

Miss Frances E. Willard fully in
dorses the mite plan of giving, as
can be seen from the following letter:
Mrs. Matilda B. Carse.
My DEAR SISTER AND FR1ENp-Your
mlte-box plan is the very best yet.
We want that Temple of temples to
stand on a broad and solid base. Moth
Ing can furnish this like the individ-
ual sympathy and support of our
local membership. Besides, we do
not wish heavily to tax any one of
Our diligent and devoted white-rib-
boners, and we do wish to take every
argument out of the mouths of any
who oppose. The mite-box plan does
this, for ''penny day. is not a
zephyr's weight an anybody, and no
one can be found who would object to
a contribution so small. The watch
cry ought to be mite-box for every
white-ribbon tea table between the
oceans.
The only way l shall be able to re-
member my daily portion is to keep
the mite-box on our dining-room ia
BILE at Rest Cottage, and as it is
model of the Temple we shall speak
OF the great enterprise score of
times and think of it a hundred more
than we should otherwise have done.
This will be worth more in money
not to say good will, than what we
put into the box, for everything good
that we think and speak about, gains
steadily stronger hold upon us, and
we will do more for it than we would
at first. So send out your mite
boxes, and | suggest that you print
in italics, and keep standing hence
forth at the head of the column some
thing like this; Dear white-ribbon
sister, brother, youth or maiden, boy
or girl Have you model of the
Woman's Temple on your table? If
not, drop postal card to Mrs. L. B.
Carse, and it will be promptly sent
on condition that you will drop into
its roof cent day during 1885,"
When guests are at your table,
this pretty model mite-box will give
you a fresh theme of conversation,
and that is worth more than cent;
indeed, it gives you the chance to
say, too, "a penny for your
thoughts" and have that old saw
mean something. Indeed, | can't
begin to enumerate all the advantages
of this very best plan you have yet
given us. Yours for Temple-sence,
FRANCES E. WILLARD.
Dear sisters, | hope all will read
this letter of our National President
and adopt the plan at once. We
shall not be the poorer at the end of
thesyear, as it will be money invested
for literature for Arkansas in future,
as for all put into the Temple a per
cent is to be returned to the State in
this way. have my mite-box 1--WE
have them at Headquarters at a nickle
apiece, into which l drop 5 nickles,
or 2 dimes, as the condition of my
purse dictates, during the month. l

will bless this work and bless us for
our devotion to a cause which is do

little, for | have never had but little
to give at time, well this will not be

Temperance bill was that the legisla-

we should rest quiet when it had
