MAKING SOAP.
Suggestions on the Subject by Practical
 Person.

Suggestions on the Subject by a Practical
 Person.
 A few years ago, when on one of my featuring tours, boarded with family where the ladies did their own work. The housekeeping was perfect; the table was exceptionally good, the food being well cooked and in generous quantities; and there was no waste. Now, these folks made their own hard soap. One might have known it would be good, but it was more than that; it was of such superior quality that I asked about the process they followed. I had always made soft soap for clean ing purposes, and had been accustomed to save my grease, as I shall explain. For nearly three years now have made the hard soap, and should be sorry to have to use any other.
 Ihave stone jar for frying fat and a few fye-pound lard cans for soap grease. All the beef fat is clarified and strained into the stone jar; all mutton and other kinds of fat for which have no other use are strained into the tin cans. When a can is full I put 1t aside and begin with another. When have three canfuls make the soap in this way: Three canfuls of clarified soap grease (tifteen pounds) are put on the back part of the range, that it may melt slowly. The potash from three one pound cans is put into a large earthen or stone bowl or jar. Upon this is poured three quarts of cold water, and three tablespoonfuls of powdered borax is added. This mixture is stirred with a wooden stick until the potash iS dis solved, then it stands until cold.
 When the fat is melted, pour 1t into Q butter tub. It must not be hot when the potish is added; should it be, 1t must stand until so cool that it will hardly run when poured. When the potash mixture is perfectly cold pour 1t in a thin stream into the fat, stirring all the while. When all has been added, con- tinue stirring for about ten minutes, when the soap should begin to look thick and ropy. At this stage pour it into a box, having it about three or four inches deep. Let it stand few hours; then cut it into bars, and the bars into pieces of convenient length for hand ling. It will still be very soft, and should not be removed from the box for at least two days. It will be hard and white.
 Ifyou attempt to combine the fat and potash mixture while the latter is at all warm it will take a long time to make the soap, and the result will not be so satisfactory. It is well to put paper under the soap-tub and the bowl in which the potash is prepared. Remem- Der that potash is very strong, and do not spatter it on yourself or on the hoor.-N. Y. Ledger.

cation sfor 8 writer "a knowledge !of people.
 {! She began to write Chautauqua Net- ters for the Buffalo Express whensshe was a mereigirl and soon branched out into short stories, special articles and all manner of bright, readable matter. In 1887 she soon made a reputation by her brilliant work on the Chicago Her aid and Inter Ocean. She was the win ner of the Chicago Tribune's $500 prize for the best continued story by her thrilling detective romance, By Q Hairs Breadth"
 With all her busy journalistic occupa- tions she has found time to write an- other novel, "By Whose Hand," which is described as thoroughly unique and original production. She was an inti- mate friend of the late actor, W. J. Florence, and at the time of his death was writing 8 play which he was to have produced if he lived. She has gift for Oers de societs also, and her lines beginning

 have been much copied and quoted.
 Mrs. Tupper has a pretty home at Passaic Bridge, N. J., where she does most of her writing. Her work is al- ways bright, original and shows the presence of ideas "a rare quality in these days when ideas are so scarce. She has a crisp, entertaining style with dainty humor, which is very fascinat- ing. Her newspaper writing has gen. uine literary value and finish, and she infuses into literary work the snap and dash of newspaperism. Though she has been long time before the public, Mrs. Tupper is still a young woman, being but trife over thirty, and we can con fdently expect a good deal more bril- liant work from her pen.

THE OLD RED CRADLE.
It is PnE JR.at A1ctlon and the Sale Goes
 ALerrllx On.

It ds RnE Cp .mt Auction and the Sale GOea
 Hrerrfly On.
 >After the woman had run away for days he uent through the house like a man in dream. He gradually came to a realization of the truth. All her little things were.there, but she was far away. Her. bird hopped in it's gilded cage and peeped in vain for food from her hand Days went by. The dream was gradually clearing in his mind, and when if was over it left him as weak and undecided as child.
 The next day out on the wall hung the red flag of the autioneer.
 He was going to sell out and go away. The auctioneer was saying, in his metallic, mercantile way: t"This, ladies and gentlemen, is part of the property of Mr. James Bardell, who is suddenly obliged to leave on account of i'll health. And how much am offered?''
 The bids went along lively, one after another. They sold her chairs, her carpets, her curtains, her dishes, her bedding. Every seam, every stitch, every chip in the paint seemed to cry out the story of the happiness of other days and of a home despoiled. Still one after another, the neighbor women, alert for bargains, carried them off.
 And now," said the auctioneer, "here, ladies and gentlemen, we have the little old red cradle, such as you and were rocked in the old New En- gland farmehouse home. My client tells me it has been in the family for fifty years. Go on now; give me a bid. !"
 He held mn the red cradle.
 "Two dollars" said a gruR voice, that of a secondhand dealer at the corner.
 "And ten," said another.
 "And twenty-five" said a third.
 ''The old red cradle; what do hear?'' exclaimed the auctioneer; in his mer- cantile tone.
 After the sale Isaacs, who had bought the cradle, was settling his score with the auctioneer's clerk. He said to the man whose wife had run away:
 'T have bought nearly all the stuff. "
 "You have, Isaacs?"
 "Do you want to buy them back?, said the shrewd merchant, with a cum ming smile.
 "Leave me-" said the man, abruptly; "take your goods and leave me-"
 ''In the morning." said Isaacs.
 At noon next day Bardell said to his servant.
 "Why doesn't Isaacs come over? Go and tell himI want to see him at once. He must take the stuff away, as we must get out at once."
 "He says" said the servant, coming back, "that he has changed his mind. He refuses to take the goods"
 "What's that?"
 "He bought everything in for your wife, who stood in the crowd and broke completely down when the old red cradle was put up at auction. Here isa note saying that she awaits your for giveness to return home"
 The old red cradle. An! what is its song of s'Home, Sweet Home!-N. y Recorder.

 Richard Crolzer is known all over the country as leader of Tammany hall, that mighty and powerful political organiza- tion in New York, which has the Empire city in its grip. He is descended from an old Irish family, whose name is found in Burke's Lauded Gentry. His grand father was Maj. Henry Crolzer, of Quartertown, Ireland, and one of his relatives was governor of Bermudas MT. Croker was only three years old when he landed in New York with his parents and six brothers and sisters.

Maverick Bank Affairs.

BOSTON, May 19.-The statement from Washington that the Maverick Bank would probably pay 1n0 cents and inter- est is not generally believed here. The claims to be proved amount to about $7, 700, ,00O. The receiver yesterday de- posited at the Sub-Treasury $60, 900 on account of the creditors of the bank, making the total amount deposited since the bank failed $5, ,907, ,363. The amount on balance after paying 75 per cent. div idends declared, is over $365, 900. This is not quite sufficient to pay the mex t dividend, which will probably be per cent.
