Our Spring Cleaning.


For the benefit of those who still insist
that there must be the general upheaval
and disturbing days attendant upon such
occasions as house cleaning we find
some good advice in the following Of
fered us.
In our own experience we find that
with certain methods these days can be
done away with and peace reign year in
and year out, SO far as the spring clean
ing goes.
To begin with it, is the little things
that must be looked after before any
cleaning is attempted. The writer says:
Any broken chairs or tables should
also be repaired, and picture frames
touched up where the gliding is worn.
Everything needing repairing or reno.
waiting having been attended to, the
housekeeper is ready for the campaign.
Do not begin too early in the season, as
it is neither safe nor pleasant to throw
open the house for scrubbing and airing
in raw, changeable weather. Provide
everything beforehand, broom, brushes,
lime, tacks, etc. Start the work by
washing white brdspreads and lace cur
tains, and putting them away ready for
use after the house is cleaned. Next,
overhaul and clean bureau and ward
robe drawers and closets. Then it is
time to commence on the rooms. Begin
upstairs and work down, taking one room
at time, so as to get everything cleaned
and in place the same day. All furni-
ture should be moved, pictures taken
and thoroughly busted. Bare walls
should be whitewashed and papered
ones rubbed with a flannel cloth tied
over broom. Windows and paint
should be washed and floor scrubbed
with warm water. Put moth proof pa
per under carpet, and if the room is
closed much, sprinkle cayenne pepper
near the wall. All wooden garments
should be summed and put away with
camphor or moth balls, which can be
procured at any drug store, Blankets
come next, and by the time the other
cleaning is done, the season will probably
be far enough advanced to dispense with
them. Wash the soiled ones, give the
others good summing, and pack them
all away in camphor with a plentiful
sprinkling of cloves, between the folds.
After the house has been cleaned, the
yard should undergo the same process.
When painting is going on it is good
plan to place two or three buckets Of !

Good Things.

BREAD STICKs.-Take teacupful OF
light bread dough and work into it
teaspoonful of butter and the beaten
white of an egg, adding only enough
flour to work it smooth. Let it rise un-
til very light, then turn it out on the
board and roll it out about quarter of
an inch thick. Cut it into strips half
an inch wide and five inches long, lay
them on creased pan. let them rise for
twenty minutes, and bake for ten min
utes in quick oven. These sticks are
especially nice served with salads.
CHEESE PUDD1Ne.-This is a favorite
hot dish for lunch or supper. Put two
tablespoonful of butter. AS soon as hot
and the butter melted, pour it over a
teacupful of fine bread crumbs. Let
these soak about an hour, and then beat
thoroughly and add three well-beaten
eggs, quarter of pound CT grated
cheese and little salt. Pour this into
a buttered pudding dish and bake it
half an hour. Serve it hot as soon as
DONE
WASHINGTON PIE.-Bake two crusts;
put one pint of milk with one cupful of
sugar on to boil. Take the yolks of three
eggs and one-half teaspoonful of salt,
three tablespoonful of flour: mix with
enough milk to make smooth batter,
and stir into the milk on stove, stirring
constantly until it thickens. Remove
from fire, flavor with lemon or vanilla,
or both, put into crusts, and beat whites
and add little sugar and put on top.
Return TO oven, and brown slightly.
CABBAGE SALAD.-One small head of
cabbage, two onions, two punches of eel
cry and four cold boiled potatoes Chop
these articles fine in hash bowl, salt and
pepper to taste. Then add the yolks OF
five hard-boiled eggs, we'll powdered,
slicing the whites in rings. Over this
pour boiling hot mixture made of one
pint of good vinegar, butter the size of
an egg, two teaspoonfuls of sugar and
one teaspoonful of mustard. Eaten cold

In the elder days of Art.
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part
For the gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as we'll,
Both the unseen and the seen:
Make the house where gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete,
Standing in these walls of Time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb.

clean water with handful of hay in each
in the nelghborhood of the operation.
The water quickly absorbs the unpleas-
ant smell, and prevents any ill effects to
people to whom the smell of paint is in
furious. When window frames have
been newly painted, they should not be
shut down tight, as they are sure to
suck, and endless trouble not to mention
broken panes is sure to result in trying
to open the windows. A little piece of
wood inserted bet "een the frame and the
sill, leaves an opening to dry the paint,
and can be removed in a day or two.
Many people have their kitchen walls
painted, and of course they are easily
washed every year, but an annual clean
ing with color wash is preferable. The
following color wash is easily made and
readily applied: Yellow ochre, two
pounds; UNI Der, one pound; whitening,
half pound. Put the ochre, lumber and
whitening into vessel; pour on as much
boiling water as the ingredients will
take up, and let it stand over night
Put one pound Of glue with three pints
of cold water into vessel over the fire,
stir till it boils and is thick jelly, and
let it stand all night. Then add the glue
to the mixture, stir we'll, and add boil
ing water till of the consistency of thin
batter. Before using, the walls to be
colored should be we'll swept down, and
clean hot water applied to greasy places.
Then apply the color wash, and as it
dries very quickly the result will be a
sweet, fresh atmosphere which will
we'll repay the trouble. A second coat
may be applied to those parts which
have become very dirty. Now, for two
or three parting words of advice Many
try to clean house in as short time as
possible, and often do not take time to
get regular meals This is a. great mis-
take, as regular meals and nourishing
food are more necessary now than at al
most any other time. 1t is the sighting
of meals and putting the family off with
any indigestible scraps that can be
hustled together, that forms one of the
chief terrors of house cleaning. Live
we'll while the cleaning is in progress
Let some one be excused from the clean
ing long enough to prepare comfortable
meals for the household.

FRIENDSHIP.

When the day is set in a frame of gold.
And color runs riot with musical sounds,
When the Joys of the heart are easily told
And happiness seemingly knows no bounds,
want friend.
But when the twilight hour is framed in gray,
When shadows come creeping along life's
wall:
When the heart grows weary of sitting it's
pain,
And sadness wraps me about with it's pail,
need friend.

MILLAR'S ANSWER FILED.
Defends His Action In Holding Police
Court in the Municipal Building.

Court in the Municipal Binding.
The answer to the bill in equity filed
by Alderman o. B. Wright. of the
Ninth ward, asking the court to re-
strain Alderman w. $. Miller of the
Eighth ward. from holding police court
in the Municipal building, which Is sit
uated in the Ninth ward, was filed yes
terday by Alderman Millar's attorney.
Among other things it sets forth
THAT in accordance with the spirit of
the laws of the state he has at various
times when the mayor has been absent
from the city or otherwise unable to
hold police court, at the request of the
mayor and chief Of police attended the
police court in the Municipal building
to give preliminary hearings to persons
arrested and detained by the police, the
officials of the city being required by
law to hear such cases within twenty
four hours after arrest, Mt which times
he has imposed fines under the provi-
sions OF the city ordinances, and has
committed offenders to county Jail for
failure to pay fines so imposed. that all
fines so collected have been paid to the
chief of police for the use of the city
and that the defendant (Mr Millar) has
neither charged nor received any fees
for his services as committing magis-
trate; that he has never issued any
process returnable to the Municipal
building or elsewhere than at his own
office in the Eighth ward, and has
never acted in any capacity in the
Municipal building except as a commit
ting magistrate.
Defendant is informed and believes
that his acts In holding police court are
within the statutory provisions with
reference to the holding of such courts,
and it has been the custom to hold them
in the city of Scranton. And he speci-
fically alleges that when the police
court room was located in the Eighth
ward. up to the spring of 1893, the COM
plainant. o. B. Wright, then alderman
of the Ninth ward habitually attended
the police court in the Eighth ward.
and transacted the same kind Of busi-
ness which the defendant now occa-
sionally transacts in the Municipal
building at the mayors request"
