RECENT DISCOVERIES.

Although many new and important discOv-
cries have recently been made in various
sciences, there is probably none of greater
Importance to the people than the one recent
ly made by DR.. SHOOP, which is attracting
the attention Of physicians and all classes of
people throughout the world.
We refer TO the discovery as to the cause of
chronic diseases Of the stomach, liver, kid
neys and internal organs.
The doctor has traced the cause to certain
nerves that have control of these organs, and
by prescribing DIR. Shops RESTORATIVE,
preparation he prepares to act upon these
special nerves, the cause is removed and with
it the disease.
His New Book, explaining this discovery,
sent free to any address together with sam
piles for 2 ct. stamp to pay postage.

The New Years Ball.


The annual New Years balls of the
Concordia society have long been noted
as elaborate social affairs in dancing
circles, and this years event, which
took place Monday night at the opera
house, far eclipsed all previous efforts.
A more brilliant or enjoyable function
is seldom experienced here. Dancing
commenced at 9 o'clock and was of
several hours duration, varied pro-
gramme of choice numbers being en-
ioyed during the while.
A large number of handsome new
gowns were displayed by the young
ladies', and it was the general opinion
that WatertoWn's fair sex was never
more charming or becomingly beautiful
than at this time.
Hardege's orchestra provided de-
lightful music, and Paul Thorn was the
efficient prompter. Luncheon was
served in the lower hall at proper in
tervals.

Is the Cellar Clean?

A writer in the. New York Tribune
cautions inexperienced housekeepers con-
cerning the Importance of cleanliness in
every department of the house as sani-
tary necessity. He says:
Many careful young mother who
guards her little ones with the most jeal-
GUS care, and who oversees every detail
connected with their well being, would
be greatly surprised if she were told that
if she would give less attention to the
nursery and more to the cellar, for in
stance, her children would have fewer
colds and sore throats.
How many of our young danes, we
wonder, visit daily all the underground
portions of their houses, the dark closets,
the passageways and, above all, the eel
lar? And yet it is just those places that
may affect the air of the whole house.
The plumbing and drainage of the dwell
ing in the basement are of the greatest
Importance and bad air in the cellar
may cause unpleasant throat troubles
during the entire winter. 1t behooves
every housekeeper, therefore, to see that
the cellar is kept with as scrupulous care
as the drawing room.
In the first place it should be white
washed every year. Lime in itself is a
disinfectant, and it makes it much
cleaner and lighter. Any servant can
whiRwash with a suitable brush, and
the whitewash itself is easily made in
the following way: Put quarts of un-
slaked lime in an old tub. Pour tea
kettleful of boiling water on it and clap
cover Immediately over the tub. When
cold, add enough water to make it of the
consistency of milk, little bluing and
a handful of salt and beat it well. The
windows in the cellar should be washed
frequently, and on every fine, sunshiny
day let them stand open an hour or so.
The floor, too, must be cleaned two OF
three times during the winter, and if the
cement is broken it should be filed in.
A well ventilated, clean cellar is of the
first Importance, and yet it is generally
the last thing considered.

EscallOped Oysters.

Drain quart of oysters and plum
them by heating a tablespoonful Of /
ter in frying pan until hot, and then
spread the oysters on the bottom and
turn carefully to plump both sides.
Take out the oysters with a skinner and
add heaping tablespoonful of butter, a
saltspoonful of salt, half one of pep
per, the same of ground mace and a
sprinkle of nutmeg. When the mixture
boils, thicken it with a tablespoonful of
-four wet in cold water; stir until smooth
and add the oysters. Butter pudding
dish, and when the oysters have boiled
pour them into it, and cover the top with
fine bread crumbs that have been well
seasoned with butter, pepper and salt.
Bake in hot oven until nicely Drowned.
Some prefer celery salt to mace and nut
meg for seasoning, or both can be omit
ted if preferred.
