When an article has been sold for g years and its sales have increased each year, in spite of competition and cheap limitations, it MUST have" supe- rior quality and absolute uni formity and purity.

This soap is today, as ever, the best, the purest, fam fly soap made.

Economy on che Boston and Albany. Rush of Freight over the shore Limo A Blg Train Stalled Yesterday at
 Tin Bridge.
 President Bliss of the Boston and AL bany road has ordered reduction of 90 DOT cent. in the running expenses of the road, and to carry this out a wholesale re- duction and discharge of employees will take effect on Monday. All branches are included. Three freight and three paassn- ger conductors will be reduced to brake men, and three brakemen will be dis charged to make room for them. One or two engineers are also booked. It Ia in the clerical departments that the greatest sweep will occur. In one department where fifteen men were employed the num- ber has. been reduced to eight, and the same proportion, 1t is said, has been ob- served all round. The Washington street | office of the road in Boston will also have some vacant places. Chief Tyndall and his assistants, Heesrs. Porter and White,
 will stay, but is Is understood that the rest of the staf goes.

Take care TO have the Snow" in large
bowl, as it beats up very stiff and light.
Heap in glass dish, and pour AROUND

An Apple Custard which is very deli
cate is made as follows: Take tart, juicy
apples. Stew and rub through tue col
ander. To one pint of the apple beat and
add four eggs, with one tablespoonful OF
sugar, one of butter and part of a grated
nutmeg Bake like an ordinary custard.
Another dessert, uncommon and dell
cious, is Iced Apple. Pare and core one
dozen large apples. fill with sugar, a
little butter and bit of nutmeg. Bake
until nearly done, cool land remove to
another plate, if it can be done without
breaking them, if not pour off the juice
Ice the tops and sides with caking ice
and brown lightly. Serve with cream.
Baked apples are much improved by
adding bits of butter to the-sugar with
which they are filed. The flavor is
heightened by filling with brown sugar
instead of white
For Shaker Apple sauce, for one
bushel OF sweet apples use one gallon OF
boiled cider: put the cider into a porce-
lain boiler. Pare, core and wash the
apples, put them into the boiler, cover
them tightly, and allow to boil steadily
but slowly until thoroughly cooked,
testing by taking piece from under
the edge of the plate that covers them.
Do not remove the plate or cover until
done, or the apples will sink to the bot
tom and burn.
One of the most appetizing of winter
relisbes are apples and barberries. The
materials needed are four quarts of bar
berris. four quarts of sweet apples, two
quarts of white sugar and two quarts
of molasses. Measure the berries after
picking over carefully and the apples
after pairing and quartering. Cook the
barberries Is minutes in the boiling
sugar and molasses. Skim them out
and cook. the apples in the syrup until
tender, but not broken. Can in glass
jars. The barberries may be mixed with
the apple after cooking, although some
prefer to leave it out on accounted the
seeds. Apple preserved in this way is
especially nice with meat.

SNAKES FOR PARIS.
They Go to Become Victims of Science.

They Go to Become Victims of Science.
Some time ago the Sun told of the ar
rival in New York of large Kentucky
rattlesnake, consigned to Mr.. S. S. Mcclure
of 80 Lafayette Place, in transit to DR..
Calmette of the Pasteur Institute, Paris,
who is making Investigations as'to a
method of proven ting death from snake
bite.b incubation with culture of the
venom. Since his snakeship's arrival in
New York he has been cared for by Mr..
CIR. O'Reilly of the Royal Geological
Society Of Ireland. who is over here for
the special purpose of studying the life
history of our American snakes, of
which he has large living collection.
Much difficulty was experienced in find
ing person going direct to Paris who
would consent to take charge of the
RATHER
On Saturday, however, Mr.. O'Reilly
| succeeded in sending off his charge in
the custody of DR.. Z. L. Marion of the
steamship La Touraine, who promised
to keep the snake comfortable on his
voyage and to see him safely delivered
into the hands of DR.. Calmette himself
The reptile has his quarters in the doc
tors cabin, and is safely en- closed In a
stout wooden box well nailed upon
every side and provided with minute
glmlet holes to allow the entrance of
air and water. AS for food, he will re-
quire none on the voyage, but he will get
| water every two or three days. The
reptile is very large for his species, and
| is in prime condition, SO that it is to be
| hoped he will be satisfactory to the
savans. of the Institute Pasteur.
| AS soon as reply is received telling
of the safe arrival of the RATHER Mr.
O'Reilly will sendato the Partisan savans
splendid specimen of the copperhead,
| real Trigonocephalus contortrix,
| caught by himself about week ago on
! the Palisades, near Fort Lee. Many
persons will be surprised to learn that
such dangerous snakes near relatives
of the terrible West Indian Fer
de Lance, exist SO close to the city of
New York. Mr. O'Reily has caught
alive in that same district not less than
four in theslast two weeks. One of these
is more than three feet in length. which
is much hey ond the average size of the
copperhead. The forest lands of Eng
| lenwood along the Palisades are famous
for copperheads, but in spite of their
number they are rarely seen on account
of their brownish and reddish markings,
| which harmonic wonderfully with the
| withered leaves that strew the ground
beneath the trees.

Content To Be ga Plain Niger.

The buster that is being made over the
proposal for the relief of the negroes in the
South reminds US of talk we had with a
negroin Louisiana some months ago. This
negro had participated in the famous exo-
dus which doomed and ezZled number of
years ago: his experience illustrates very
fairly the sentiment of the average Sou TIL
ern negro towards the whites of that sec
ton.

To Mend Porcelain.

To clean porcelain the best plan is to
use soft soap with an old toothbrush.
Should they be very dirty little vitriol
decorated over the glaze. The edges of
a piece that has been broken and badly
mended require the greatest care in
cleaning, for, if not thoroughly cieansed
they cannot be made to properly adhere
to one another. In this sort OF work it
is well to proceed in order with first
washing in soap and water, then one in
vitriol and water, lastly washing with
alcohol. Whatever dirt, glue, grease,
ETC., may still remain must b. rem owed
by careful scratching with penknife.
\ 10 repair piece of pottery or porce-
lain, after it has been well cleaned, is
often delicate task. When all the frag-
ments have been saved, and when the
piece is of small size. it is possible to
succeed by simply sticking them togeth-
er. with little silicate Of potash alone.
or mixed with powdered plaster of Paris.
The silicate can be had at any druggists,
But sometimes piece is missing, and
it's place has to be filled with plaster of
Paris. Again, the silicate takes at least
twelve hours to set hard, and, mean
while. 1T is often necessary that the
piece be supported in order that it mar
not become detached. 1t is sometimes.
