them from American soll and that, too,
when there were only thirteen stars oF

Pineapple Cake.
Orlando, Fla.

Editor Household Department:
have tried your method of packing
boiled hominy or grits into empty milk
cans. 1t slips out beautifully into rolls
When sliced, dipped into beaten egg and
bread crumbs and fried, it makes nice
looking breakfast dish.
Please try my pineapple cake. take
my "unfailing cake recipe as follows:
One cupful of sugar, two eggs, one-half
cupful of cold water, one pint of -four,
one heaping teaspOonful Of baking pow
der. Beat the sugar and yolks to a
cream, add the other ingredients and
lastly the well beaten whites. Bake in
two layers. Spread between a literal por-

more than this. Money is no price for
cheerful, happy disposition under severe
disappointments and losses. Under such
tonic as cheerfulness dead hopes have
their resurrection and the future looks
bright once more. So, instead OF saying:
"What fool have been. might have
known BETTER rather say: 81 have
learned one thing, and that is not to
duplicate that blunder.'

Babies.


Babies are deal of trouble, and they
make place untidy, and they cost a lot
ofmoney to keep; butts you wouldnot
have the house without them. 1t would
not be home without their noisy tongues
and their mischief-making hands. Would
not the room seem silent without their
pattering feet, and might not you stray
apart if no prattling voices called you to-
gether?
1t should not be 80, and yet have
sometimes thought the tiny hand seemed
as wedge, dividing. 1t is bearish task
to quarrel with that purest of all human
affections-that perfecting touch to q
wOman's life-a mothers love. 1t is a
holy love that we coarse fbred men can
hardly understand, and would not be
deemed to lack reverence for it when /
say that surely it need not swallow up all
other affection. The baby need not take
your whole heart, like the rich man who
walled up the desert we'll Is there not
another dusty traveller standing by?
Do not, in your desire to be a good
mother, forget to be good wife. No
need for all the thought and care to be
only for one. Do not, whenever poor Ed
win wants you to come out, answer, indig-
nantly: What, and leave baby!' Do not
spend all your evenings upstairs, and do
not confine your conversation exclusively
to Whooping-cough and measles. My dear
little woman, the child is not going to die
every time it sneezes; the house is not
bound to get burnt down, and the nurse
run away with soldier every time you
go outside the front door; nor the cat be
sure to come and sit on the precious
child's chest the moment you leave the
bedside. You worry yourself good deal
too much about that solitary chick, and
you worry everybody else, too. Try and
think ofyour other duties, and yourpret-
ty face will not be always pucke ed into
wrinkles, and there will be cheerfulness
in the parlor as we'll as in the nursery
Think OF. your big. baby a little. Dance
him about a bit :; call him pretty names;
laugh at him now and then. 1t is only
the first baby that takes up the whole of
a woman's time. Five or six do not re-
quire nearly so much attention as one
But before then the mischief has been
done. A house where there seems no
for him, and a wife too busy to think
of him, have lost their hold on that so
unreasonable husband of yours, and he
has learnt to look elsewhere for comfort
and cOmpaniOnship. = From Jerome's
eide Thoughts of an Idle Fellow"

Making Mistakes.

There is no more humiliating confess
sion which we are often compelled to
make than this: 81 made mistake"
In vital matters, where our financial in
terests are involved, (for it is the money
in any venture which decides it's impor-
tance now adays) it is peculiarly hard to
acknowledge having made blunder
Our pride forbids it, and we keep the
as possible. 1t reflects too much on our
lack OF wisdom.
| recall the remark of dear old friend
in reference to her husband, who was
proverbial for errors of this kind. Said
she: "Father is ready enough to ac-
knowledge that his memory is not quite
asgood as formerly, his hearing is trife
detective and his eyesight is failing quite
perceptably, but his Judgement neverW
There is one very comforting reflection,
however, that the person who blunders
is every person. An old philosopher once
said: IF q man is not fool part of
the time, it is because he is fool all of
time" 1t is an old adage that experience
is dear teacher, and he is a fool who will
not learn from such q teacher Yet we
know OF many, and perhaps we may be
among them, who never seem to profit
by their mistakes 1t is our privilege to
learn as much from our failures as from
our successes, and if we can, 10y any
means, gain wisdom enough to keep us
from making the same mistake twice, we
may reasonably expect to get through
life with tolerable credit 1t is not the
mistake itself which need mar our peace
and make us unhappy. We need not sit
down and mourn over few lost dollars
because Of our seeming lack of foresight
or wisdom. If a certain course is taken,
which seemed at the time wise and best,
but which afterward proved disastrous,
it is very foolish to reproach oneself for
having taken it. Our case is hopeless
only as we continue the same course o.
action

and pounds "a year to q man to look on
the bright side OF things. tt is worth

SPONGE CAKE.-Beat the whites of four
eggs to stiff froth, and the yolks OF the
same till they are very thick. Add to the
yolks one and u half teacupfuls white
sugar, and three tablespoonfuls cold
water; after they are thoroughly mixed,
add the whites, and stir them well in.
Now add two teacupfulS sifted -four, two
heaping teaspoonfuls Horsford's baking
powder; stir well and sift again. Lastly,
stir the flour so prepar into the sugar
and eggs, and when well stirred in, put

SHIPS AT SEA.

have ships that went to sea
More than fifty years ago:
None have yet come home to me-,
But kept sailing to and fro.
l have seen them, in my sleep,
Plunging through the shOreless deep,
With battered sails and battered hulIs,
While around them screamed the gulls,
Flying low, flying low. :, .yt.x4 :,
1 have wondered why they staid
From me. sailing round >theworld;
And I've said, Pm half afraid
That their sails will meier be furled. y
Great the treasures that they hold
Silks and plumes, and bars OF gold;
While the spices which they bear
Fill with fragrance all the air,
AS they sail, as they sail.
Every sailor in the port
Knows that have ships at sea,
OF the waves and winds the sport;
And the sailors pity me.
Oft they come and with me walk,
Cheering me with hopeful talk,
Till put my fears aside,
And cOntented watch the tide
Rise and fall rise and fall.
l have waited on the piers,
SO never quite despair.
Nor let hope or courage fail;
And some day, when skies are fair,
Up the bay my ships will sail.
/ can buy them all need,-
Prints to look at, books to read,
Horses, wines, and works of art,
Every thing except heart;
That is lost, that is lost.
Once when / was pure and young,
Poorer, too, than am now,
Ere cloud was Ger me flung,
Or wrinkle creased my brow,
There was one whose heart was mine
But she's something now divine.
And though come nv ships from sea,
They can bring no heart to me,
EvermOre, evermore.

A Reply.

Editor Household Department.:
We requested O friend to reply to the
following inquiries recently made by Mrs.
L. E. H., of Federal Point.
l.. What will take ink spots out ofsilk
gloves?
keys?
3. Please print a recipe for mulberry
jam?
ANSWERS.
Editor Household Department:
[ fear her nice silk gloves are nearly
ruined by the ink spots. Perhaps they
may do for second best, by soaking in
sweet milk, and then boiled in it. Ii the
spots had not been allowed to dry at
first, they could doubtless be removed in
this way. 1t is said that hot melted
tallow poured through ink spots will re-
move them. Try both ways.
AS for her piano keys. A piano tuner
once told me that they never could be
made white again after turning yellow,
but know they can be greatly improved
and cleaned by rubbing them very briskly
with fine emery paper. have tried it on
ivory handled knives and have been sue
cessful.
| should make the mulberry jam in this
way: Boil the fruit in as little water as
possible, then rub carefully through a
colander. Add little more than half it's
weight-in sugar. Then boil down very
carefully to keep from burning until Of
the right thickness.
The juice left will make Jelly probably,
though have not tried it,. i prefer to
make nice drink of it which is very re-
freshing this hot weather. Fill a glass
partly full OF bits of ice and then fill up
with the sweetpned juice.

SHE ADMITS THEIR GUILT
Paul Zourner's Sister Con-
feSses to Their Unnat-
ura1 Relations.

Paul Zourner, of No. 316 Park place,
Hoboken, and his beautiful eighte en-
year-old sister, remanded yesterday by
Justice Stilsing on grave charges, were
arraigned this morning, and after listen
ing to further testimony, the judge COM
mitted them to the county jail in default
OF 81 200 bail each to await the actlon
OF the Grand Jury.
The front seats of the court room were
filed by q bevy of well-dressed matrons, IN
cluding the wife of Paul ZOurner. They
came to testify to the cruel treatment OF
Paul Zourner's wife since the sister ar
rived in this country eight or nine months
ago Prior to that time the prisoner was
a model husband. Their testimony. now
ever, was not called for. The sister,
through the interpreter. Mr.. Oscar
Schlickam, In tears, admitted that while
no crime was committed in the house on
Grand street, where they were botn
found on Sunday night. she and her
brother had been guilty when she was az
her brothers house. The Judge wanted
no stronger evidence than this to conf
init them.
There were friends of the girl in court.
A distinguished looking gentleman, Win
gray hair and gold rimmed sDectacles,
talked long and confidentially 10 the
weeping girl, who was accorded seao
outside of the prison pen, while her broth
er shared the room allotted the drunks
and disorderlies. This gentleman had
Just returned from Germany and knew
the girls parents well They are well.to-
do people who are anxiously wondering
why their daughter has not returned
from few months visit to this country.
Both the guilty parties realize their
shameful crime. The sister, when she
recognized the array OF women in the
front seat who lived in the same fiat with
them in Hoboken, turned her face away
aud burst into tears which flowed freely
long after the court took recess. The
brother yesterday asked for the return OF
the personal property. taken from his
pockets by the police when he was locked
up. Justice Lange, anticipating some
rash act on the part of the brother, hand
ed him back his money. but refused to
give him two knives which were found in
his nockeLa.
