To cleanse knit and crochet arti-
cles rub in q pan of flour until clean

City people can make country
sausage by taking six pounds of
lean pork-tenderlains are best-four
pounds of chine fat, four ounces of
salt, two of pepper, and the same of
mixed sweet herbs, savory, sage,
thyme, and majoram.
FoR THE HANDs.-Mutton suet,
well rubbed in at night, drawing on
a pair of white cotton gloves to sleep
in and washed of the next morning
with few drops of ammonia in the
water, is better than glycerine and
rose water, both of which are, in re-
suit, too drying for some hands.
YELKslN CARAMELs.-Make thick
syrup from one pound of cut sugar
and one pint of water, beat slightly
the yelks of ten eggs, add to the eggs
four tablespoonful of the syrup.

the best white glue, broken into small
pieces, in two pints of water, and al
lowed to become soft /; then dissolve

two ounces of glycerine and six
drains Of carbolic acid +; continue the

mass, covered with shing, parchment.
like skin, and may be kept for any
length of time. When required for
use it is placed for a few minutes in
a water bath until sufficiently liquid

utes shining, smooth, flexible and
nearly transparent skin.

Uses of Ammonia .

Ammonia applied two or three
times on fresh cold sore will kill it.
1t will drive it away fused when the
cold-sore is first felt.
A teaspoonfull of ammonia in a
gallon of warm water will often re-
store colors in carpets ; it will also
remove white-wash from them.
Yellow stains left by sewing ma
chine oil, on white, may be removed
by rubbing the spot with a cloth wet
with ammonia, before washing with
soap.
Equal parts of ammonia and tur-
pentine will take paint out of cloth
ing, even if it be hard and dry. Sat
urate the spot as often as necessary
and wash out in soap suds.
If those who perspire freely, would
use a little ammonia in the water
they battle in every day, it would
keep their flesh sweet and clean, do
ing away with any disagreesble odor,
Old brass may be cleaned to look
like new by pouring strong ammonia
on it, and scrubbing with a scrub
brush; rinse in clear water.
Put teaspoonful of ammonia in a
quart of water, wash your brushes
and combs in this, and all grease and
dirt will disappear. Rinse, shake
and dry in the sun, or by the fire.
Flannels and blankets may be
soaked in pail of water containing
one teapspoonful of ammonia and a
little suds. Rub as little as posi-
BILE and they will be white and clean,
and will not shrink.

The Secret Of a Long Life.

You sometimes see woman whose
old age is exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth. She seems
condensed sweetness and grace. You
wonder how this has come about,
you wonder how it is her life has
been long and happy one. Here
are some of the reasons.
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She understood the air of enjoy
ment.
She kept her nerves well in hand,
and inflicted them on no one.
She believed in the goodness of
her own daughter and in that of her
neighbors.
She cultivated a good digestion.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant words.
She ala not expect 100 mucn from
her friend.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe that the world was wick
ed and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She retained an even disposition
and made the best of everything.
She did whatever came to hel
cheerfully and well.
She never forgot that kind words
and smile cost nothing, but the
priceless treasures to the discourag
ed. She did unto others as she
would be done by, and now that ole
age has come to her and there is {
halo of white hair about her head
she is loved and considered.
This is the secret of long life and
a happy one.

thereby create a better market for Texas beef.

She was taken to the hospital.
Along Market, Main and Jefferson streets all
telegraph and telephone poles have been blown
down and the wires strung across the street like
tangled braid. Beautiful Baxter square is the
scene of the most wonderful devastation per-
haps ever witnessed. By far the greatest loss of
life at any one place was at Twelfth and Market
where several different orders and societies had
estimate the number of lives lost at this point.
1t is currently reported at p. m. that seventy
hve bodies had been recovered here, but an AS
ISOLATED Press reporter found that the number
did not exceed, perhaps, three-fourshs OF this
number. At the place OF Charles w. Smith,
northwest corner of Seventh and Jefferson, was
seen the body of Ada Helm, colored. The girl
lay just as taken from the ruins, and she pre-
sented an appearance in her mangled condition

Her arms were drawn up rigidly and her face
bruised, blackened and distorted beyond recog-
milton. Near her, dressed neatly, lay Bridget
Crow. Over her stopped her sister Mary. and
rained tears upon the distorted countenance of
the dead woman. Bridget and Mary lived to-
gether. but last evening the latter stepped
out for a short time, and thus no
doubt saved her life. Here also lay
the body of q man perhaps thirty-fve

night. Crossing the street to Wyatt

Eighteenth and Maple streets. Depp stepped
