Bread With Potatoes.

Pare two medium-sized potatoes
and boil them until tender. Put one
cup of flour in the bread pan, pour
over it a cup of boiling potato water,
beat quickly, then mash the potatoes
through q colander in this batter,
and beat again until smooth. When
lukewarm add a half cup of yeast and
teaspoonful of salt; mix, cover and
stand aside over night. In the morn
ing scald quart OF milk, when luke
warm add sufficient -four to make q
batter, and teaspoonful of salt,
beat until smooth, and then turn in
the potato sponge, cover and stand
in q warm place for about two hours,
or until very light, then add gradual
ly sufficient flour to make dough,
take it out on the board, knead it
quickly, gently adding as little -four
as possible to prevent sticking.
Knead and knead until the dough is
soft, smooth and elastic. Now cut
the dough into quarters, mold each
quarter into Loaf, place in CREASED
pans, cover, stand in a warm place
to rise until double its bulk, then
bake in a moderately quick oven for
three-quarters ofan hour.
In a family of two it would be well
to add shortening to one-quarter,
and make pan OF biscuits, the re-
naming three loaves will be quite
enough to last until next baking day.

HOUSEHOLD.
Hints for the Home,

A cup of strong coffee is an antidote
for the odor of onions.
Never have a dark carpet and walls
in a room that is deficient in light.
Only apartments open to the outer
hight will stand gloomy tonesin dec
grafton.
Telegraph wire of galvanized iron
is much better to hang clothes on in
Winter than rope, as the clothes will
not freeze to it. Have it hung by q
hneman and it will never give" no
matter what the weather may be.
A teaspoonful or more of powder
er borax thrown into the bath tub
while bathing will communicate a
velvety softness to the water, and at
the same time invigorate and rest the
bather. Persons troubled with ner-
vousness or wakeful nights will find
this kind of a bath a great benefit.
In usinga rough leather to touch
up too highly polished surfaces it is
frequently observed to scratch the
work. This is caused by particles of
dust, and even hard rouge, that are
left in the leather; and if removed by
a clean brush containing rouge, it
will give the brightest and best fin
ish.
HAM PATTIEs.-Chop ham fine; add
sliced onions, salt and pepper to
taste, and halt the quantity of soak
ed bread, or cooked rice; mix to-
gether with two beaten eggs; make
into patties; sprinkle with -four, and
fry or bake in one pan with butter
on top.
How ruthlessly rude some people
are in the matter of interrupting
conversations. One may be enjoying
a very interesting talk, when one of
these will rush in with, "Oh, l want
to introduce Mr.. So-and-So;" or 81
am dying to hear what the true story
is about the Thingamies." Once on
a time there was an understanding
that a happy moment was to be
waited for before Interruptions of
this kind; but now everyone seems
so eager, so hurried, so unreposetul,
that they pounce upon one the very
moment that it OCCURS to them to
do SOLOMON Truth.

Frozen Plum Pudding.

Make a custard of one quart of
milk and the yelk of four eggs, with
a cup and a-half of pulverized white
sugar Seed and cut into pieces three
ounces of raisins. Add three ounces
each of citron and preserved cherries,
cut small. Mix with fruit three ounces
of grated chocolate, pour over these
ingredients enough hot water to COW
err all, and let them simmer together
until a thick paste is formed, stir
ing frequently. Instead of water
Malaga wine, which the old books
call for, can be used if preferred. Next
add the custard to the cooked fruit,
also one quart of cream sweetened
with five ounces of sugar favored
with vanilla and whipped up light.
Put the cream into the freezer, and
when it begins to harden whip up
the white of the four eggs to q
stiff frQth and stir in lightly, Berape
from the sides constantly asst freezes,
which gives the true consistency to
the frozen pudding-"frappe."

Little Friendly Advice,

There are several "don'ts" which
should be observed whenever two or
more women are gathered together,
but which, alas! are frequently disre-
garded. For instance, don't say to
q friend GLOW stout you are grow
ing!" No lady likes to be told that
she is growing or has grown stout.
If it be a fact she is doubtless quite
we'll aware of it and anxious to keep
others from discovering it. Don't
say "How thin you are!" neither,
for both women and men loathe to be
told that they are either stout or
thin. Unless you can say Chow we'll
you are looking!" tits better to make
no remark on the personal appear
ance of your friend. Don't tell o
friend who has on a particularly be-
coming gown or bonnet that she
looks ten years younger in that than
in anything you have ever seen her
wear. Don't tell her neither that it
is the most becoming thing you have
ever seen her wear. That is an inn
parchment of her taste heretofore,
though you probably have no such
thought.

FULLY...ANsWERED
"Subscribsr's" Query Causes Comment.


AS our readers will remember, q
letter was published in our columns
few days ago, signed Subscriber"
which dwelt at some length upon a
subject of general interest, and which
contained several inquiries which win
be found answered in the following:
To the Editor:-Several days agoI
noticed a communication in your
paper from "Subscriber," in which
considerable comment was INDUCED
in concerning the pamphlets which
are widely distributed by Messrs. Fl.
II. Warner & Co., of Rochester, n.
Y. These pamphlets, as is well
known, are published in order that
the public may become conversant
with the symptoms and growth of
disease peculiar to the kidneys, and
which is, it must be admitted,
the productive cause, in a
majority of instances, of other
organic disorders. The pub
fishers of these pamphlets are also
the discoveries and manufacturers of
the noted Warmers Safe Cure, which
is known to be the only means for the
prevention and cure of kidney dis
ease, as can be testified to in every
community. In the pamphlets re-
ferred to there appear a number of
testimonials from parties who speak
in the highest terms of how they
have in many instances been restored
to health by Warmers Safe Cure, aft
er having been given up by doctors to
die, and attached to those statements
are the fac simile signatures of the
parties themselves.
| am personally aware that all the
testimonials published by this firm
are genuine and are the voluntary
statements of persons who are anx-
ious to manifest their gratitude
for the unexpected return of
health and vigor which Warmers
Safe Cure has brought them. To
ma Ike assurance doubly sure, it can
be added that Messrs H. II. Warner
4 Co., have for years, published a
standing offer of $4,000 to any one
who will prove to an impartial ref
cree that any testimonial published
by them is not, SO far as they know,
bona tide and absolutely true.
What more does "Subscriber" desire
to convince him, in addition to his
own statement, that his neighbors
all tell him that Warmers Safe Cure
has done more good for them than
they have received from the doctors.
In view, Mr.. Editor, of the many
persons who are sacrificed daily to
the bigotry and ignorance OF physi-
clans who persist in treating patients
for symptoms, called consumption,
apoplexy, brain troubles, and nerv-
Gus disorders, when the real cause is
disease of the kidneys-which should
be detected and quickly eradicated
by the use of Warmers Safe Cure-I
maintain that the value of those
pamphlets, which place in the hands
of the public the means of knowing
the truth, cannot be overestimated.

Our Postal System.

II there Is any point on which our postal
system does not stand In need of improve
ment it is in the cheapness Of postage. Our
newspapers are carried within the county of
their publication for nothing, and every
where else for next to nothing, and letter
Of an ounce weight is transported from any
point to any other of our enormous area OF
8, GOO, 900 square miles for the smallest unit OF
letter postage known In Christendom. But O
far more important matter, and one wholly
neglected, is that Of postal delivery. In other
civilized countries the postoffice, receiving a
letter from the writer, undertakes to deliver
1t to the person addressed.
In our own happy land the postoffice re-
ceives the letter, and Except in the case of q
privileged 20 per cent of the people, under
takes to carry it to within five or ten miles OF
the person addressed, and keep 1t there till
called for. This is the mere barbarian OF
postal service, worthy Of the dark ages before
Rowland Hill. The enormous cost and los
which it involves become obvious to any one
ON few minutes reflection. For example
A man living three miles from the postoffice
Is anxiously expecting letter of great i'm
portance, which may arrive any time within
a fortnight. He goes daily to look for it, and
on the sixth day he gets it. That letter cosi
him twelve hours Of walking, or six hours OF
travel for himself and horse. In other words
the postage on that letter has been virtually
