HAsry PUDDING OR MUsH.

As this is favorite American dish, the
recipe is for large quantity. lSe -four
in this case is added for advantage in frying
the pudding when it is cold; the pudding
when hot is eaten with milk, sirup, but.
ter or gravy. Put two quarts Of water into
clean saucepan, with level teaspoonful
of salt; set it over the fire, and when il
boils stir in pound of Indian meal and
aquartcr of a pound OF -four mixed to a
smooth paste with pint of cold water;
add the flour and meal gradually, stirring
constantly with pudding to pre-,
vent the formation of Jumps. When the
pudding is quite smooth let it boil
steadily for an hour, stirring it often
enough to prevent burning; constant
boiling improves the favor Of the pud.
ding. When there are no measures con.
venient, enough meal is stirred into the
boiling water to hold the pudding-stick
upright. That portion of the pudding
intended for frying should be poured into
a tin or eartheu dish wet with cold water
aud allowed to cool-Juliet Corson.

PoTTED LIVER.

Farmers who live at a distance from a
market will find this delicious use for
the liver of the veal which they may kill,
as country butchers often do not appreci-
ate the value of veals liver and will
give as much for an animal without either
that delicacy or the sweetbreads. Boil
the liver until tender, turn out in a
wooden chopping bowl ani beat with
wooden potato masher while hot. Re-
move all skin and gristle and pound to a
paste, seasoning with salt, cayenne,
cloves and mace; add enough OF the
gravy to make smooth and creamy paste
and pack in small cups or jars. Pour
melted butter over the top of each until
we'll covered and keep in a cool place.
1t is very nice for luncheons or supper in
hot weather. Turn into platter, slice
thiDiy and serve with thin strips of but
tered bread, white or brown, or spread
over hot buttered toast.-4msrioan Ag.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For polishing furniture beeswax and
turpentinc are very good, but plenty Of
elbow grease is essential.
White paint that has become discol-
ored may be nicely cleaned by using Q
little whiting in the water for washing.
Save all your old white muslin. It
makes good busters and will also be use
ful for cleaning windows, as it is free
FROM lint.
A good way to remove ink stains from
carpets is to sprinkle sal. over the soiled
spots aud pour on boiling water; do it
several times, If necessary.
For cleaning glasses belonging TO ma
hogany furniture, use either powdered
whiting or scraped rottenstone mixed
with sweet oil, and rub on with a chamois
skin.
Eggs shells crushed into small bits ana
shaken well In decanters, three parts
filed with cold water, will not only clean
them thoroughly, but make the glass
look like new.
The walls OF each room should be
brushed, a duster should be tied over
broom and then passed up aud down.
Tho duster must, OF course, be shaken
from time TO time.
For cleaning windows aud mirrors one
Of tho best things Is plain soft water and
chamois leather, having q dry chamois
leather as welt to polish with aftsrward.
This process will not answer near the sea,
because OF the salt In the atmosphere.
The scrubbing OF floors should be done
with bath brick dust or sand and ordi.
nary household soap. Tho object Of the
brick dust or sand is 10 whiten boards.
After washing leave ell the doors and
windows open for II to dry yer, quickly,
which also helps 10 whiten the boards.

CHEWING GUM.
Why the Disgusting Habit Il Usually
Injurious.

Injurious.
A correspondent of tho Youths
Companion inquiries whether the use
OF chewing-gum is really beneficial. as
some persons have asserted.
The opinion has one plausible argu-
men in its favor. The saliva Is an
important digestive fluid. On 1t de-
ponds the digestion OF all starchy
substances bread. mush. potatoes
and the like IL Is for this reason
that thorough mastication OF such
foods is necessary. in order that the
saliva may be duly mixed with their
particles. For the same reason it is
better to eat bread dry thar to moist
en- it. and dry bread Is practically
easier of digestion than mush. which
Is often swallowed without sufficient
mas tication.
Now. as the saliva Is copiously se-
GREETED in gum-chewing 1t might be
thought that the stomach would thus
be aided in the digestion OF starchy
food. out ju t here comes In another
physiolo yical fact. namely: that sal
va loses Its digestive power very soon
after entering the stomach. being
neutrali4ed by the action OF the gas-[
juice.
But can gum. chewing be regarded
as to any degree harmful
/. The habit is upnatural. 1t
meets no normal need. rs does the
chewing Of the cud by the COW and
some other animals. Whatever is alb
normal is presumtively In. furious.
even though we may not be able to
trace its effects, 1t took long time
to lind out that tobacco chewing
caused one Of the most fatal diseases
OF the heart
z. Every secretion OF the body has
its natural limitation. Artificial stim-
ulation greatly beyond this point
must be hurtful. This is a general
law. Gum-chewing stimulates the
saIivary glands vastly beyond their
normal limit. and the result must be
injurious.
3. The constant swallowing OF sal
iva in a sort OF churned state carries
into the stomach large amount Of
air. which becomes source OF dis
comfort and often OF positive injury.
1t must be remembered that air swal-
lowed in this way becomes greatly ex-
panied by internal heat
!. Muscles are enlarged by use.
Witness the blacksmith's arm as COM
pared with that OF the scholar. Wit
| ness also the enormous muscles OF the
athlete. Now the normal use OF the
masseter muscles tends only to keep
them In proper working conditions;
but their over-use in gum-chewing
must tend to their undue enlarge
ment and thus to the disfguration of

An Active Centenarian.

Uncle Billy Madden, as he is familiarly
known, recently celebrated his 10th
birthday. The early years of his life
were spent in North Carolina, where he
became a famous hunter and fisherman,
and it was on one of these fishing and
hunting expeditions that he came to this
state over sixty years ago. For many
years he ran hatboats down the Tennes-
see river, but this business becoming un-
profitable he bought a mountain farm,
where he has lived ever since, his sons
doing most of the work.
The old man is still active, but does
not often leave his own premises, al
though he has been known to walk sew
eral miles in day during the past two
or three years. He has been married
four times, and survives all of his wives.
He has had twenty two children, but five
of whom are dead. His grandchildren
are very numerous, but they have scat
tered all over the country, and it is i'm
possible, therefore, to give the exact
number of his observation-disclosures
