FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
POP CORN.

AS winter is here and pop corn Is
much used almost every where, a few
recipes for preparing it may be welcome.
The old-fashioncd way of popping It
was to heat cup of butter aud quar-
ter of cup of salt very hot, and stir
into this ono cup of shelled corn. It
was then covered closely, and the iron
kettle was kept revolving on the Goals
till tho corn was popped. This was
before the days of peppers and stoves,
but 1 think it is an excellent way yet.
An excellent corn candy can be made
by boiling together one cup sugar, ono
cup molasscs, one fourth cup butter,
on-fourth cup water, two tablespoons
vinegar. When done stir in two cups
ground pop corn.
To mako sugarcd corn boil until
brittle one cup sugar, onc-half cup watcr
and piece of butter the size Of an egg.
Stir this into nicely popped corn and
set in cool place. The sugar will
crystalline, aud it is very delicious.
Popped corn ground and eaten in
milk, makes very nice lunch. Rural

Gavc His Life Fora sfranocr.

Van Duke Icyscr is name which
will long be remembered by those who
were passengers i'll the Louisville and
Nashville train which was wrecked at
Nolin, says tho Louisville Courier jour
ma. 1t is the name of young man
who lost his life in heroic attempt to
save tho life of woman, fcl.ow-pas-
scngcr and total stranger
The woman was saved, but a few
minutes after the smash her rescucr wal
taken from the wreck and ruins. The
breath was still in his body, but he was
so fcarfully manglcl and bruised that
ii wa' known his death was inevitable.
Young Van Duke lIayser was bat IS
years of age and lived in Milcrtown.
lie had only recently graduated from
the commercial department of the Ken
lucky university, whcro his integrity
and sound sense made him most popu :
lar with his fellow students. He was
n gentleman at all TINS, and his con
duct in the school-r room was so cx
emp'ary that the faculty awarded him
upon his graduation aspccal diploma
of honor. lie had bean with his step
father, D.. S. Lambert Of AIilertown.
and with small sum Of money, lis
school certificate and letters of rec ON
mendation had boarded tho ill .fated
train to seek his fortune in this city.
When the mail train nude its appear

Can Fish Smell and. Taste2

Vision and hearing in fish being the
senses most important to the angler in
his water sports, those next in value
arc smell and taste. Tho possession oil
these by fish seems to be disputed
point. They have evidently taste in a
modified degree, as they will reject tho
artificial lure if tho barb CT tho hook
is not immcdi atc;y imbcddcl in Their
flesh; but, on tho other hand, they
will take leather or rubber imitati on
Of tho natural bait with US much gusto
as 1.-Two minnow or bug-honco tho
question is Sec saw one.
Fish, no doubt, in common with
other animals, have the instinct of dam
ger developed almost to the quality of
reason; and it i, no bar to the truth of
this to argue that, because a
fish will talso the bait with u half dozen
broken hooks in its mouth, it follows
II british appetite that is blind to dan
ger; for, look you. be yc an angler or
butcher, that stomach OF yours i, death
to you every day of your life; that
smoking dish, be it red herring or
canvasback duck, is causing you to
make rapid strides graveyard, anl you
know it AMI yet you gorge yourself
every day upon your favoritc dish.
1t ill becomes man TO argue that.
because an animal cannot control its
appetite, it has not tho lordly gift OF
reason. To sum up:
Can fish tasc9 Ccrtainl7-hc spits
out his artificial bait.
Can FISH smc!l' Aye, there's the
rub; yet why the anointcd lures so
priced by old anglers and many modern
oncs2
This fact however, is sure; fish arc
susceptible to anger and jealousy; for
VIC have seen them fight, and VIC all
know how tiger like in mbat salmon
and trout arc on their spawning beds.

now TO CURE FRowSIyo.

n great many earnest thinkers of a
nervous temperament fall into the habit
OF scowling when they read, write or
talk seriously. This causes two little
perpendicular lines TO plough in be-
tween the eyes. 1t is a habi. al.
most impossible to correct, once
formed, as it is done unconscioasly By
a great many young people. Even in
sleep their brows will be drawn together
in this malicious little frowa that Is the
alder and abetter of age
A bright, stud Gus young woman still
in her early twcntics found herself the
victim of this scowl, which had already
made two fine hair lines in her white
brow. She set herself to work 20 cure
the habit by setting her mirror before
her face when sho read, wrote or
studied; but as this distracted her at
tention from her work she finally placed
a ribbon band tightly across her brow,
tying it in n knot at the back of her
head, and at night she slept in the
band. After several months the little
hair lines disappeared from her pre-. ty
forehead, and she is quite cured of the
disfguring habit.
a smooth, white, uncorrugated brow
IS one OF the greatest attraction, in n
woman's face, while prematureiy fur :
rowed and wrink led brow mars the
beauty anil youth of the fairc,t features.

Smperstitions of the Hfndoos.

The Hlndoos are early riscrs. In tho
warm demonstrating from April to

hou:e,op or in the courtyard, or in the
veranda if rain should be threatening.
and arc usually up at 5 o'clock or car,
lier in the morning. In tho cold
weather, when they sleep within doors
they rise late, but arc out before Z.
Rising in the morning, when but half

then throws on an extra garment, the

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Mans highest happiness will not be
reached till he is doing all he can fol
man.
lie who puts bad construction on &
good act reveals his own wickcdness oil
hcnrt.
There is not enough justice in the
world to prevent tho right from occa-
slonally getting left.
Tho wise carry their knowledge as
they do their watchcs-not for dis pl az
but for their own use.
Tho good that men do may DO in.
tered with their bones, but tho collins
of some men are not crowded.
Wit is healthy only when mingled
with sense, rs hydrogen is necessity
in pure air, but when alone is poison.
When man hath forfeited the rcpu-
tation of his integrity, lie i, set fast,
and nothing will then scrvo his turn
neither truth nor falschood.
Troubles spring from idlcnoss, and
gricvous tolls from needless case. Many
without labor would live by their own
wits. but they break for want of stock.
Right actions for the future arc the
best explanations or apologies for wrong
ones in the past the best evidence Of
regret for them that We can offer or the
world receive.
To think we'll of every other mans
condition, and to dislike our own, is
ono of the mis- fortunes of human nat
urc. Pleased with each others lot
our own We hate.

cases where no one, outside Of q little
circle of familiar frieuds, has ever said
word in recognition of the part
which women take so heroicalIy
in. the government of tho ma.
ton. Unless woman is in society"
and in evidence all the time there, she
is set down as "domestic." and there.
fore to be comparatively ignored, even
though she be the propeller and the
rudder of her husband tho statesman.
AS rule. it is safe to say every public
man of prominence owes his position
largely, perhaps chiefly, to his wife.

will occur to every one. but. ncverthe-
less, this is the rule. Bright, studiou,,

all their duties, but often their hus-

authorities and information; they can

domestic character its influence is
simply incalcula5lc. -Ph,lads!ph:a Rec.

HARD. WORKED WOMEN.

1t must be admitted that many of
Boston's working women have little
time for rest, says writer in tho Id
rertiser of that city. Clscs whore sew
cntcen hours of the twenty four arc
employed in work arc not unknown. 1
am not now speaking of the miserable
slaves who exc out scanty existence,
but OF weli-drcssci, healthy looking
women who try to increase their small
income by doing extra work. A case
came to my notice Of bookkcerer who
kept the accounts for several firms, bal
ancing up the books of some in the day
time, others in the evening. She works
an average OF l12 hours each week.
Another, who was employed as wait
rcss in n fashionable cafe and also in n
downtown restaurant, worked, for n
time, fifteen hours each week day, until
she lost one of her positions. There
are many shop girls who work fourteen
hours every week day, and are only too
happy 10 get the opportunity.

TIE USES OF SALT.

Salt in the whitcwash will mako ii
stick better.
Wash tho mica of the stove door,
with salt and vinegar.
Damp salt will remove The discoIor
alton Of cups and sauccrs caused by tea
and careless washing.
Wren broiling steak throw n little
salt on the Goals and tho blaze from
dripping fat will not annoy.
To clean willow furniture use salt
and water. Apply with nail brush,
scrub well and dry thoroughly.
If, after having tooth pulled, tho
mouth is filed with salt and water. it
will al!ay the danger Of having n homor-
rhagc.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
almost anything that can be bought. 1t
keeps the teeth brilliantly white and
the gums hard and rosy.
Carpets may he greatly frightened by
first sweeping thoroughly and then
going over them with clean cloth and
clear salt an / water. Use a cupful of
coarse salt to large basin OF water.
Snow Cnke-Onc. and one half Gun.
tuls OF sugar, onc-half cupful of butter,
one and onc-half cupfuli of flour, one.
half cupful of sweet milk, one tea
spoonful of b,king powder, whites Of

If the feet arc tender or painful after
long standing or walking great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt aud
water. handful of salt to a gallon of
water IS the right proportion. Have
the water as hot as can comfortably be
borne.

Changing the Color of Birds.

The following is from the proceed
ings of tho Berlin Physiological soci-
city: Starting with the observed fact
that canarcs fed with cayenne pepper
acquire a ruddy pumagc, DR.. Saucr-
mann has based upon it scientific in
vcstigation of cinarics, fowls, piee ons
AMI other birds. From these he oh.
tanned the following results: Feeding
with pepper only produces an effect
when given to young birds bforc they
moult; the color Of the older birds can
not be affected. Moisture facilitates
tho change of color to rudy hue
which is again discharged under the
infiuenc, of sunlight and cold. A por-
ton Of tho constituents of cayenne
pepper is quite inactive, as, for instance,
pipcrin and several cxtractivos; SINH.
larry, the rcd coloring matter alone of
the pepper has no effect on the color of
tho feathers. 1t is rather the triolcin.
which occurs in the pepper in large
quantities, together with the character
istic pigment, which brings about the
change of color by holding the red pig
mcnt OF the pepper in solution
Glycerl may be IL cd inst nd of trio
lcin to bring about the same result.
The Same statement holds good with
regard to the feeding of birds with ami
line colors. The rcd pigment of the
pepper is also stored in tho egg yok as
we'll as in the feathers. The first an
rcafance of the pigment in the yolk
may be observed as Il colored ring four
days after the beginning of the feeding
with the pigment dissolved in fat.
After a further two days feeding the
whole yolk is colorcd.

CARE OF SILK DRESSES.

l have frequently hcarl ladies COM
plain Of their silk dresses wearing shiny,
writes Mrs. Strong in Prairie Farmer.
Sometimes, of course, the quality of the
silk is at fault; in such cases, the best
one can do is to avoid rubbing it.
Never, on any account, brush piece of
silk with a stiff brush. A piece of
coarse flannel is best, and, with little
patience, dust and mud may be removed
with it. A soft velvet brush NAV be
usel, but do not find it necessary.
Sometimes mud stains arc stubborn and
cannot be rubbed off; n little alcohol,
applied with the flannel, is tho best
thing 1 havo ever used, as it dries
quickly, and leaves no stain.
