Hunting Lobsters.

For q seaside port, the visitors to
a Cuban watering-place have devised
the safe pursuit of Holsters. The
author of s"The Pearl of the Antilles"
describes the chase:
For this sport,a big barge is pro-
cured, and after having been fur
nished with carpets and rugs for the
Ladies' accommodation, we proceed
to navigate the shores and creeks OF
the harbor. Three or four black
fisherman accompany us, and bear
long torches Of wood, by the light OF
which the ground beneath the shall
low water is visible.
Our prey is secured BY throwing q
net, in the meshes Of which the
lobster becomes entangled; but
should this prove Intellectual, q long
pole forkedfat one end is thrust over
the creatures back, and as he strug-
glessto free himself from the pronged
embrace, q nimble negro dives into
the water. and captures him alive.

How To Save the Eyesight.

Neither colored goods nor fannels
should be boiled.
All goods in barrels-apples, beef,
potatoes, etc.-keep better when laid
down on their side.
Paint the kitchen floor with boiled
linseed oil, and you won't have much
trouble thereafter cleaning it.
For cleaning brass use a thin paste
of plate powder, two tablespoonful
of vinegar, four tablespoonful
of alcohol. Rub with q piece of fan.
mel; polish with channels.
Next to the sunlight the incandes-
cent light gives the best illumina-
ton for reading, and all notions OF
the injurious effect on the eyes of the
electric light are erroneous.
The vast majority of people who
wear glasses can see we'll without
them. They use them to avoid a con-
slant strain on the eyes. The act of
focalization is a musclar one and uses
up nervous energy.
The nearsighted child should wear
spectacles, because they are the best
preventive against increase Of near
sightedness, and also because he
loses a great part of his education in
not being able to see more than a few
feet away.
For the eyes in a healthy state
there is but one safe wash-pure cold
water. When the eyelids are in
famed the best lotionis a weak SOL
ution Of salt water. Never apply
poultices to the eyes or use 'seye wa
ters" without the advice of O physi.

An Artistic Rag Rug.

The prettiest rugs which are made
in this country are the homemade
rag rugs woven of different colored
wooden rags. These rugs are usually
woven in stripes at either end, and
in a medley Of varied colors in the
centre. The weaver also introduces
a %lengthwise striped effect by using
different-colored warp. Very pretty
effects are produced by stripes of dull
yellow and dull red warp in alternat-
ing bands about two inches wide.
The warp is knotted, and forms q
fringe at either end of the rug.
Small rugs, 34x7O inches and 34x4S
inches, are suitable to strew about n
small room over mating. Rugs Of
rags woven in this manner, butlarge
enough to cover the center of the
room, are often seen in artistically
furnished rooms, where the paintings
and bric-a-brac suggest the cultured
taste of the owner. These rugs when
well selected in color approach near
er in beauty to the blending tones of
the costly Eastern carpet than any Of
the various limitations of them made

Reflections On . Suicide.

There were two rooms and door be-
between them was closed. In one room
stood before her mirror a pretty girl
of 20, smiling and blushing as she
fastened the orange blossoms in her
hair. In the other room stood be-
fore her mirror a woman OF 30.
On her face was stamped desperate
resolve, in her hand was an open
razor.
Down stairs the wedding breakfast
was spread, and strains of Men
delssohn mingled with the voices and
laughter of the guests and grooms-
men, who were awaiting the advent
of the bride and her sister.
Presently there was the sound of q
heavy fall, a door flung open, q
piercing shrek. Hasty feet ran up
stairs. Yes, there was the bride, in
her wedding garments, holding in
her arms her sister, whosewhite throat
was marked with a terrible necklace
of red.
What had brought about this dire
catastrophe? The answer was in the
dead woman's own writing: "Ihave
not the courage to be an old maid
Tragedy and comedy struggling to-
gether!
In Cincinnati the unhappy one
who had destroyed herself was well
known and respected. The eldest
daughter, she had been also the clev.
er housewife, the nurse of her aged
parents, the teacher and almost
mother of her "little sister," Every
day with a mans courage and q
womans patience she had taken up
the petty burdens and cares of life
that it might be made easier to
those she loved. In return she re-
cieved the usual amount ofgratitude
and affection, mingled, as time went
on, with numerous jokes and gibes
thought appropriate to the "old
maid" of the family.

How to Wash Dishes.

A writer. IN q domestic journal
gives some good advice on a subject
about which the women folks have
no doubt troubled their heads more
than about any other connected with
their duties.
One of the most wearisome domes-
tic tasks which falls to the housewife
doing her own work is the "never end
ing, still beginning" washing OF
dishes. 1t is often a real pleasure to
prepare a dainty, palatable meal, a
well earned satisfaction in viewing
the work of ones hands in the light,
sweetloaves ofWhite or brown bread,
the roast of flesh or fowl, done to a
turn, the perfect cake, quivering
custards, &c. But no one of these
toothsome viands can be brought to
pans, spoons, cups, &c, all to be
cleaned for perhaps immediate use
again. They must be washed by
hand already-tor modern invention,
fertile as it is, has not yet, to my
knowledge, produced an automatic
dishwasher and dryer. 1t is discour
aging, and few things sooner
bring the tired housekeeper's
spirit down to ere Especially if the
mercury has already gone down to
that point) than a kitchen table full
Of sticky, greasy, unWashed dishes
greeting her as she rises from break
fast or dinner, and in additionto the
dishes used upon the family table.
A very great help is to wash as you
go, have your pan with hot water
and cloth handy on the table, and
as fast as you dish articles from the
stove or range wash the cooking YES
sci. Rinse out frying pans, kettles,
&C., with very hot water to take off
the grease. Chain disfcloths readily
take off whatever sticks to sides of
the stew-pans or pots, or a common
clam shell may answer the same pur-
pose. As nearly all cooking utensils
are more easily. washed when warm.
washing as you go saves time for the
dining room work after the meal, be-
sides setting the Kitchen sooner in
order to. Keep several thick holders
near the stove to save your hands
(and towls) in lifting hot KETTLES or
pans. Never take hold of these with
the dish cloth, as you wish to keep
that important kitchen appliance
entirely free from pot black and
grease. BY taking some simple pre-
cautions the cooking vessel can be
washed with almost as much ease as
your china service. By having your
pan and hot water ready you may
sit down to breakfast or dinner with
the mi of relief that the kitchen
things are out of the way-until next
time. q 80 S@y$&-s T.

Representative Steele, of Indiana, has re-.
ferred a letter received by him from Arizona
to the house committee on the judiciary with
a suggestion that if the charges made in it
against Judge Barnes of Arizona befound up
on investigation to be true that the judge be
impeached. 1t is charged that Judge Barnes
has endeavored to restrict the constitutional
right of American citizens to freedom of
speech by finding the editor ofthe Daily Pros

have been rendered futile through the
prevalence of that renowned article known
as Minnesota weather.
While other sections of the country, less
fortunate than this, have experienced the
rigors of cold and snow, st. Paul and Min
nesota felt during the month of December,
1853, a temperature SO deg. above zero.
Skies as soft in hue as the empyrean blue
of June; winds shorn of the fierceness OF
Borealis; o sun SO genial that the heavy
clothing of the winter months was burden
some. Streets in the city and country were
| and are free from snow and ice, and the
| streams, half frosted, scarcely bear the bur-
| den of the skaters.
On Christmas day the temperature at st.

! Years, 80 deg. above. The precipitation
of snow and rain during December was in
finitesimally small. There were twenty
| two days of sunshine in that month, and
only one stormy day. To date Jan. 9TH

January and but two Of clouds.
Under such climatic conditions it is mani

erected at the date set by this association.
Nevertheless, the association, while re-
GREETING the temporary abandonment of
their plans, cannot fail to call this attention
to the claim so often made by them during
past seasons, that the climate of st. Paul
and Minnesota during the winter months
has again surpassed the world in healthful-
ness and those other qualities that 60 to

THE HOUSEHOLD.


A salt ham should be soaked over
night in plenty of soft waterprevious
to boiling.
After washing a wooden bowl place
it where it will dry equally on all
sides, away from the stove.
When watering ported plants in
winter do not pour the water in the
crown of the plants, but simply
moisten the earth in the pots. Too
much moisture will do more injury
than benefit.
For a cough boil one ounce of fax
seed in pint of water, strain and
add Il little honey, one ounce of rock
candy, and the juice of three lemons;
mix and boil we'll. Drink as hot as
possible. t..#

O quantity of the strongest soap lees
with quicklime to the consistency of

To keep lamp chimneys from break

large pan, fill the latter with cold
water, and place the new chimney in

let the chimney remain in the water

An inexpensive and good desert is
made of one quart of sweet milk, two
thirds of a cup of uncooked rice, and
a little salt. Put this in tea orcoffee
cups, set them in the steamer over q
kettle of boiling water, Let it cook
until the rice is almost like Jelly;
When cold turn it out of the cup.
Serve with sugar and cream, or with
pudding sauce.
The secret of making good tea is
that the water should be poured on
the instant it boils, and that every
thing should be well heated. If you
have a little water boiled in a kettle,
and pour this upon the tea in q cold
teapot, the water is chilled, the
strength of the tea not properly ex-
tracted, and, after standing the
necessary time, it is, when poured
out, but little more than lukewarm.

THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.


Under power vested by the ConStitu-
ton the Governor issued his proclama-
ton, and the Legislature was called to
convene TODAY in extra session. This IS
the first exercise of that power since the
State was restored to Democratic rule IN
1876. 1t is. rs constitutionally expressed,

Legislature. when organized, shall trans
act no other Legislative business other
than that Tor which it is especially con
vened. or such other legislative business
as the Governor may call to its attention
while in session, except by two-'mrds
vote of each house."
As is well known, the proclamation
converting the Legislature confined the
object to the establishment OF State
Board of Health 1t is of the first I'M
portance that whatever legislation Is Sc
cured to protect the State should be most
carefully considered, both as to efficiency
and economy. The FLoRIpIAN has advo-
Gated State SUPERINTENDENT as equally
efficient and more economical than a State

literally to the language as well as the
spirit Of the Constitution, then let the
law be so framed that the Board will be

has been suggested, and urged with some
force, that the Governor, Acknowledgement

enforce the mandates of the Board, and
the physician, in conference with the two,
to say what those mandates should be.
The Constitution prohibits the Governor
and Acknowledgement from accepting any
compensation for their services, and the
only expense to be incurred would be the
salary and necessary travelling expenses
