PROSPECTS OF THE SILVER BILL.

Reed Puts 1t Where 1t VIII Sleep for a
Season.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 19-Speaker
Reed has prepared surprise for the silver
men in the house, and one that will not
be agreeable. After the vote yesterday in
which Bland's attempt to have the bill
Immediately considered was defeated,
the speaker, under one of the new
rules, referred the measure to the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures. If the bill could be put
before the house there is little doubt that
it would be put through in the form in
which it came from the senate.
Reed Anticipates Difficulty.
The speaker, anticipating this difficulty
whenever the bill should be laid before the
house, went over the rules carefully, and
after consultation with the leaders on the
Republican and with Bland and the side
principal advocates of free coinage, deter.
mined that under the rules the bill need
not be- laid before the house at all, and
that the reference of it was formal mat
ter which the clerk could attend to. The
bill will now be considered by the commit
tee and returned to the house with recon-
mendations as to the senate amendments.
1t will take Its place at the foot of the cal
sndar TO ne called up on motion at any
time. Before it is considered it will
be doubtless made the subject of caucus
action.
Tho Presidents Probable Action.
If the bill finally passes the house the
question is, will Gen. Harrison sign it?
The administration has all along been OPP
posed to free coinage, but the president is
in a position now to act for what he may
believe to be the best interests of the coun-
try. 1t is given out as direct from the
president that he will not run for second
term. II this is 3d. it frees him from all
political complications, and no can act on
his own responsibility without embarrass-
ing the party. If his convictions are for
veto, he will not sign the silver bill; but
II, after investigation, he finds the will of
the majority is best, he will put his name
to the bill.

the supervisor that the delay was due to
circumstances beyond the control of the
enumerator. Persons can be enumerated
at the supervisors Office. Names thus
presented as omissions must, however, be
verified by enumerators at the residence,

HARD PEA SOUP.

Many persons keep the bones of their
roasts in order to convert them into stock
for pea soup, which il, to my taste, one
of the most relishable, of all soups, and a
famous dish for cold weather, with this
advantage in its favor, that it may be
made from almost anything. Capital
stock for pea soup can be made from q
knucklc of ham or from piece of picked
pork. Supposing that some such stock
is at hand to the extent of about two
quarts, procure say, two pounds of split
peas, wash them well, and then soak for
a night in water (the floating peas should
be all thrown away, strain out the peas
and place them in the stock, adding a
head of celery, a cut-down carrot, and an
onion, season with half an eggspoonful of
cayenne pepper. Boil with lid on the
pot till all is soft, skimming off the scum
occasionally, and then carefully strain
into we'll warmed turecn, beating the
pulp through the strainer with spoon.
Serve as hot as possible, placing cupful
OF crumbled bread toast into the tureen
before the soup is dished. Much of the
success in preparing this soup lies in the
"straining," which ought to be carefully
attended to. When q knuckle of ham
has been used to make the stockit should
form part of the dinner, with potatoes;
or it may be used as breakfast or sup.

SEASONING FOOD.

To impart relish to the food we eat
seasoning is necessary addition. Red
pepper is sometimes called the summer
season, because it is dry and hot, though
it is seldom used during that heated
term. Now is the time for fish and game,
which require strong favoring. The
taste of wild meats can be disguised by
seasoning we'll with pepper and salt, lay
ing in vinegar with or without sliced
onicns, and sprinkled with crushed
thyme or bay leaves. A substitute for
celery is celery seed, which can be pro-
cured at any apothecary shop, and when
used, is crushed and sprinkled in the
dish.
Slaw, potato, chicken and tomato
salads, are delectable with the celery
seed favoring IN addition to the other
seasoning. Oysters, which are of delicate
flavor, do not require any seasoning but
pepper and salt and little tomato sauce.
During winter horseradish, mustard
and other strong seasoning are more
relished, and as they have the good effect
of stirring and warming sluggish food,
and frightening lusterless eyes, are CON.
sidered healthful. Full-blooded people
should partake sparingly of highly sea-
soned food at all mes.-Detr0it Free

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Suet should be used instead of butter
for making sauces, gravies, etc.
Ammonia will frequently restore colors
that have been spoiled by acids.
Nothing is better than a glass fruit
jar for keeping cooking raisins moist.
Very finely sifted coal ashes are ex-
cellent for cleaning brass. Rub well and
polish with woolen rag.
Keep nickel, silver ornaments and
mounts bright by rubbing with woolen
cloth saturated in spirits of ammonia.
For frying eggs, have plenty of fat land
dip it up over them with spoon, in
stead of turning, also placing them in the
pan from saucer, one at time.
To fasten a steel blade which has come
out of the handle, fill the cavity with
rosin, then warm the part to be adjusted,
and insert slowly, pressing it in firmly.
Hold till it gets cold.
Water should only come to the boiling
point for making tea or coffee, and not be
allowed to boil for even five minutes. If
you are doubter, try it, and convince
yourself of the difference in flavor.
An old recommendation often given
young housekeepers is to use tea leaves
in sweeping carpets, but their use on
delicate colors should be avoided, as
they will surely stain light carpets.
Ask your hardware man to make you
a cake tin having two divisions. Then
a plain cake can be made for one siGe, ,and
by adding fruit or almonds you can easily
have richer cake for the other side.
To clean lace baste your lace nicely
on piece of muslin. Rub it freely with
cold starch until it forms paste on it.
Put it in the sun to dry, and when thor
oughly dry rub off. Your lace will then
be clean and need no ironing.
Papier mache for filling cracks in
floors can be prepared by heating to a
paste cuttings of white or brown paper
boiled in water and then mixing the
paste with a solution of gum arabic.
Make the solution hot in which you mix
tue paper paste, anu apply olrectiy tnus
making it adhere more firmly.
To leave the soup-kettle uncovered
while the soup is boiling is to sacrifice
much of its most delicate flavor and
aroma, and to lose that peculiar nutritive
and digestible property present in dishes
cooked with all their steam tightly closed
in upon them. Cover the soup-kettle
steam-tight and boil it gently from one
side, if you want good soup.
One of the best methods of cleaning
heir brushes is to put full teaspoonful
of household ammonia into basin of
warm water. Dip the bristles in and
rub briskly with the hand, or, better
still, with another brush. When thor
oughly clesnsed put in the sun to dry,
bristle side up. Two brushes may ibe
thus readily eleansed at once.

HIGH-PRICED SEEDS.

As rule high-priced seeds are the
cheapest, because moro care has been
taken in selection of stocks to produce
them, which incurs additional expense.
There arc many instances, however, where
farmers are paying high prices from the
mistaken idea that they are getting Il
better quality for their purpose. This IS
particularly true in regard to seed-pota-
toes, an article which the farmer thinks
necessary to "change" occasionally, if
not annually, because of the liability OF
the "stock running out" This is a
costly error that no farmer should com
nit. The facts in the case arc, that If
the farmer wisely selects from his own
stock for seed purposes, it will improve
rather than degenerate. Let him frst
find out what varieties do best with him
and some varieties do far better in a
given soil and situation than others.
From these seed-potatoes should. be
selected before any are sold or consumed.
Every farmer has noticed that some hills
Weld more than others; that some vines
are stronger, more branching; are short
and stocky. From these the best should
be saved for seed, and the best are those
of medium to large size, of uniform shape,
and smooth, and where there are the
most in hill. Follow this practice up,
and in few years there will be marked
improvement in the type.-Amsrican

The LiOn.Tamer's Secret.

The boldest individuals, who put their
heads two or three times day into the
lions mouth, have told me that the best
way to withdraw it from the gulf is, first
of all, not to open the acqualntanceship
with this experiment; and, secondly, to
perform it with great nerve. Nerve,
that is the great secret of the lion-tamer,
the sole cause of his authority over his
beasts. When he has studied subject
for some time, endeavoring to master its
character-and among the higher animals
the character is very individual, very ac-
centuatcd-onc morning the man quietly
walks into the cage. He must astonish
the beast and ovcrawc him at once. AS
to the training, it consists-and here 1
quote the words of an expert in such
matters-in commanding the lion to per-
form the exercises which please him !;
that is to say, to make him execute from
fear of the whip those leaps which he
would naturally take in his wild state.
There is one fact which no one would
suspect-that it is easier to train an adult

in menagcrie. The lion Of the booth
is in the same position as sporting dogs
which play much with children; they are
soon spoiled for work. Pezon possesses
five or six lions which he has brought up
by hand. AS a rule, they live with the
staff of the menagerie on terms of perfect
familiarity, but this frequently leads to
tragic accidents. Lions: even lions in a
fair, will dcvour q man in fine style. Can
say that the fear of such an accident is
ever sufficiently strong to make me pause

cherish, and like me, you also cherish,
the hope that some day perhaps we may
see lion-tamer eaten. This contingency
sometimes occurs, in fact, more often
than Is usually supposed. For instance,
without leaving the Pezon menagerie, it
is not year since the proprietor narrowly
escaped being devoured by his bear
Groom, at Chalons-sur-Marne. Hewould
have perished if his son Adrian Pezon
had not thrown himself, sabre in hand,
between the two combatants and killed
the bear on the spot.--"Acrobats and

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS
PIES THAT WILL NOT LEAK.

After putting the under crust on the
plate and trimming it, cut a strip of
pastry of the thickness of the under crust,
half an inch wide and long enough to
reach around the plate, dip this in cool
water and lay it on the under crust close
to the edge, pressing it into place with
the fingers. In filling the pie be careful
not to spill sugar or anything else on this
rim. II it becomes dry before you are
ready to put the upper crust on moisten
it again. Put on the upper crust, press
it close to the rim until it adheres, and
trim smoothly with knife. Dip the
fingers in water and rub the edge of the
pie until it seems like one piece. Then
with a dull knife lift the edge of the pie
from the middle of the upper crust for
the steam to escape while cooking, and
the pic is ready for the oven and war
ranted not to leak.

Preserving Fabrics From Decay.

A Belgian chemist has, according to
the 1ertile Manufacturer, discovered @
means for rendering fabrics, no matter
how delicate in texture or color, proof
against decay. The wonderful state OF
preservation which the head bands Of
Egyptian mummies exhibit is due to
their having been impregnated with a
kind of resin. This led the inventor to
make certain experiments with the sub.
stance extracted from birch bark, to
which the peculiar aroma of Russian
leather is due, and he found out that the
green tar which was left over after the
oil used in tanning had been extracted
from the white bark of the birch tree
yields neither acid nor alkaloid, and that
in solution with alcohol it forms liquid
of remarkable fuidity with the power Of
resisting, when once dried, even for ac-
ton of alcohol itself. This substance
will, it is said, unite with the most deli
cate and brilliant color, and render them
impcrishable.
