Cranberry Pudding.

Make thick batter by stirring pow.
dered cracker crumbs into cranberry
sauce. Baking powder should have
first been mixed with the cracker
crumbs in slightly greater proper
tion than for biscuit. The batter must
be as thick as can be easily stirred
with spoon. Have ready some but
terd teacups, and after sweetening to
taste put large spoonful of batter in
each teacup, arrange them in your
steamer, cover closely, and let them
steam half an hour. Then serve your
red pudding with swcetened cream fla
vored with nutmeg.

LET HOUSEWIVES REMEMBER

That steady heat for baking can
not be expected from stove that is
imperfectly cleaned and choked with
clinkers. Too often the cook blames
the stove for imperfect work, when the
fault lies in her own neglect to put il
in baking or cooking order.
That when copper is very much tar
nished, or coated with verdigris, dilut-
ed oXalic acid, in the proportion of a
tablespoonful of the acid to quart OF
water, will clean it more quickly than
anything else.
That when a knob comes off door
handle it can be fastened on again by
filling the cavity in the knob with sui
phur; then heat the iron end Of the
handle. which goes in the knob, just
hot enough to melt the sulphur; put
the knob in and let it cool and it will
be firmly fixed in its place.

enacted law prohibiting emigrants
who cannot read and write their

wise them to sail at once" A nFmber

five years rented for fl per annum,
the occupant paying the taxes,
amounting to about G150. In many
cases farms have been sold for less

Royalty In the Public Schools.

Hitherto, writes Berlin correspond.
ent, the daughters of royalty have
never been educated in public schools,
although princes in Germany usually
are, as was the case even with the
reigning Emperor. The first exception
is the six-year-old daughter of Prince
Frederick of Moiningen, niece
OF the Emperor, Garcia by name. She
has become the inmate of one of the
largest and best-lnown Berlin schools
for higher daughters" Gas they call it
here), and is to remain there during
the next twelve years.

A London correspondent writes that
Mark Twain, who couple of years
thought himself a rich man, is to-day
worse than penniless. Since his return
from Africa few months ago he has
been living In very modest lodgings
in London, going nowhere and seeing
but one or two friends, working all
day and every day at a history of his
trip around the world. With the pro-
ceeds of this book he hopes to be able
to pay off his creditors and leave
something for his family. Mark
Twain lost practically everything
when Webster x Co. failed. and the
lecture trip around the world which
he undertook with the hope of retrlev-
ing his fortunes did not turn out a
financial success.

Cleaning SilYerMare, Etc.

Silver and plated articles should be
placed about ten minutes in the hot
water in which potatoes have been
boiled with salU, and then be rubbed
with woolen rag, and rinsed in pure
water, when the articles will not only
be free from tarnish, but perfectly
bright. Potato-water that has become
sour by standing several days answers
still better and is also excellent for
cleaning articles of steel and glass
water-bottles.
