New York, Aug. 91.-Evening Posts
London financial cablegram:
The stock markets opened dull on the
political outlook, recovered later on the
mora favorable news from India and
closed steady to firm. Americans were
dull on the decline on the New York
stock exchange yesterday and on a pes
simist article in the Financial Tins.
But they also closed better and with a
firm tone. Atchison adjustments are
being bought here. French and Ger
man exchange is rising but Austrian ex-
chang on London declines sharply today
and Russian exchange which 1915 last
week and 1890 at the close of July has
fallen to 93.40.

Soap for household use will las

Soap for household use will last
as long again, if, after it has been
cut into blocks, it is put by for a
few weeks before being used. New
soap melts so quickly and is ex-
travagant where much is required
Candles, too, improve by keeping.
With regard to new bread many
people will only eat the crust of a
French roll, and will discard the
crumb. This, however, may be
made into delicious "pulled" bread,
if it is set out in rough pieces on a
baking sheet and popped into the
oven till it becomes a crisp crust,
which is very nice to eat with
cheese.
To take the bitter taste of
medicine out of the mouth chew a
little piece of liccrice root after
swallowing the unpleasant mixture.
The up-to-date girl must know
how to tie every sort of neck scarf,
as the made-up affairs are deemed

Some Way OF Resting.

Applying the principle of rest by
change, no sensible woman who is
free to order her own life will sit
down and sew all day without in
Permission save for meals; neither
will she do anything all day which
requires continual sitting or stand
ing posture. The usual answer to
such objections is that "there is nc
time to rest.n But the truth OF
the matter is that there is no time
so prolitably spent as in resting
when the body requires it. The
minute IL woman begins to feel that
strained, tired feeling along the
spine she should lie down till it has
passed. And if she lies perfectly
fiat, instead of curving her back by
the aid of pillows, she will double
her return values in rest. She
should also c,ose her eyes placidly
and calmly and keep them closed
till she gets up. For if the mind
is open to every suggestion which
it is certain to get when the eyes
are open, the brain will still con-
tinue to work and is only half
resting under such conditions.
The same method of dropping
everything-as when one is trying
to go to sleep at night-should be
adopted when one lies down for a
few minutes rest in the daytime.
Bathing the eyes in hot or cold
water before lying down-for rest
or sleep-also helps to soothe and
compose tired nerves. Some people
find a cold compress on the back OF
the neck equally valuable in its
soothing effect. Deep breathing,
especially when it can be done in
pure air, is another good receipt
for obtaining rest. The very effort
to take long, slow, deep breaths
turns the mind off from its worri-
ment; and, purifying the blood, aids
in its freer circulation, and brings
relief from strain to tired muscles.
Bathing also, either a tub or
sponge bath, and hot or cold accord
ing to individual preference and
physical condition, can be relied
upon to soothe tired nerves and
muscles and restore their tone.
Rubbing with alcohol, too, especially
along the spine, the thighs, and the
soles of the feet, will sometimes
help to bring refreshing sleep

THE HOUSEHOLD.

There are still a few people il
the world who have a prejudice
against cards, but their use is Sc
general that they may be called ont
of the leading amusements of the
day.
The rage for progressive euchrt
has been made the occasion of some
severe criticism in public, and moi
Il little i'll feeling and spitefulness
in private. The scramble for prizes
has in some cases been unpleasantly
piggish, and the methods of some
of the players have been commented
on in language much more emphatic
than complimentary.
1t is an exceedingly foolish thing
to conduct such affairs in this way,
and for many reasons. The original
purpose of the game is lost sight of,
and the occasion becomes merely a
mad scramble for prizes without
regard for even the common pro-
prieties of life. Some of the
members of these clubs are accused
of unfairness, to use very mild
term for the accusations that are
brought against them, and the
entire club suffers in its reputation
in consequence.
The true philosophy of amuse-
ment is to be pleased and enter
tanned without being taxed either
mentally or physically.
When one is worried beforehand,
and under severe strain all
through an evening because of their
interest in and struggle for prizes,
there is little in the game save hard
work and irritation. This is very
marked departure from the true
spirit of such affairs, and when
either clubs or individuals degene.
rate to such a level it is time to dis.
band the club or discipline its
members.
There is a growing feeling that
prizes at such gatherings should be
done away with, and that those
who go and play merely for the
sake of what they can win would
do well to seek some other form OF
pleasure getting.
Surely, their is quite enough
real satisfaction in Il good game
even though there be no prize OIL
consideration attached to tn

AS the burly form of Grover recedes
from the White House and is viewed
through the twilight of his career he
takes on more and more the form of the
beast that he was and is. No figure in
American history will, up to the present
time, be so disgusting as that of Grover
Cleveland. His reaching such an exalted
position by and through the votes ofwhat
the world looks upon as the most intelli-
gent nation of the globe is one of the
filings of outraged fortune that is hard to
account for.

That was Bill's religion.

The fall in prices of farm crops between
1872 and 1894 was one billion, four hun
bred and twenty-five million dollars
This is the loss to the farmers of the
United States in twenty-five years on
account of the demonstration of silver,
as shown by the statistical abstract pre-
pared by the government. The fall in
silver and in farm crops steadily drop
together through this series of years.
The strangest of all strange things is that
farmers continue to vote for a continue
tion of this condition of their affairs.

Useful Recipes.

crackers; break them up fine; two
cups sugar, one cup lnolasses, two
cups water, one cup chopped raisins,
one-half cup vinegar, enc teaspoon
full cinnamon, one teaspoonful
cloves, one teaspoonful allspice, one
nutmeg. Bake at once.
PRUNE PUDDING. one cup
of prunes, remove pits and cut in
small pieces; add two teaspoons of
vanilla and sugar to taste. Beat
the whites of three eggs stiff with
three tablespoons of sugar; mix well
with the prunes, put into baking
dish and brown in a quick oven;
served with whipped cream.
VEAL FRITTERs.-One cupful of
minced veal, one cupful of milk,
two eggs, salt, pepper, one teaspoon
full Of flour, and sufficient bread to
absorb the milk lightly. Break
bread and milk thoroughly by beat
ing with a fork; stir in the well
beaten eggs and seasoning with the
veal and flour. Drop by spoon
fuls, like pancakes, and fry in hot
drippings or equal parts of butter
and lard.
DRESSING FOR BEEF HEART
One small loaf stale bread, one and
onehalf pints of milk, two eggs,
small lump Of butter, three small
onions sliced and boiled soft, a heap
ing teaspoon ground sage, pepper
to taste. Soak bread into the milk
until soft, then add rest of ingre-
dents; mix well. Boil heart for
one hour, then put in baking pan
with some of the broth, roast two
hours. About As minutes before
serving, fill the heart with dressing;
pour remainder in pan with the
heart, let all brown nicely, basting
often.
RUMFoRD's PLAIN INDIAN PUD-
DING.-Three pounds of yellow
Indian meal, five rints of boiling
water, twelve ounces of molasses,
one ounce of salt. Put the Iudian
meal into large vessel or bowl,
pour the boiling water on it and
stir well together; now add the
molaSSes and salt and mix all we'll
togeth er. Put into a pudding bag
and tie up, leaving room for the
pudding to swell. Plunge into
boiling water and boil six hours.
Add boiling water if needed by
cause of boiling away; cold water
would make the pudding heavy.
SARDINE SANDwIcHEs.-Buy
only a good brand, and such are
always small. A large sardine is
not a sardine-some other fish used
under that name. Lightly scrape
the skin, cut off the tail and split,
taking out the backbone. If the
halves are in good shape, lay them
On thin slice, of whole wheat bread
and butter, and spread evenly with
a layer of freshly prepared horse
radish, covering with another slice.
If the fish is broken, or a paste is
preferred, work the fish and horse
radish together to a paste, and
spread on the bread. If you have
no horseradish, make paste of the
fish, lemon juice and a dash of
cayenne pepper. The sandwiches
may be cut into fanciful shapes and
served on a plate garnished with
ettuce.
