HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Scraped apple is said to disguise the
taste of quin;ne.
When using dates for an after dinner
sweet, after the pit has been removed,
Instead of filling with chopped nut
meats, set in "A row of peanut meats
and call them ''peas in the pod"
Sand baths, artifcially heated, offer
an excellent means of inducing pers-
piration, exciting the functions of the
skin, etc. They are useful in rheuma-
tism and have no bad effect upon heart
or circulation.
A nice flavor may be given to "a
broiled steak by cutting an onion in
halves, and rubbing the cut edges over
the heated platter intended for the
steak. The platter should contain q
little melted butter.
When the new rag carpet comes
home from the weaver's, measure the
length of the breadths. Then run
four rows of machine stitching across
each breadth. Cut between the rows,
two on each side, and it will not ravel.
In making up an ingram carpet the
same plan is advisable.
If you have cooked cornmeal mush,
instead of filing the kettle with water
to soak after it is emptied, set it on
the back of the stove, where it will
keep pretty warm, and let dry. In
few hours the mush will have dried
and is ready to peel of, leaving the
kettle so that an ordinary washing
will clean il.
A housewife suggests, as a method
of preventing rich cookie dough from
sticking to the moulding board to
cover the board with thin unbleached
muslin, put on without a wrinkle, dust
it well with -four, then roll out the
dough. We know a much less trouble
some method than this, and il is very
simple. Don't make rich cookies.
Then you'll have no trouble with them.
An attractive way of preparing fried
bread or croutons, as they are called,
for serving with soups is to cut the
slices of bread in small circles the size
of silver quarter place them upon a
tin with II little soup stock. Put the
tin in the oven, aud cook the bread
until il is crisp and brown. While
hot dip them in melted butter, and
quickly roll in grated cheese.
The following Is simple but effec.
tive manner Of cooling water; Take
bottle filed with water wrap it in
piece of cloth very wet, and hang
the covered bottle in q drGught. II
will bo found that tho liquid in the
bottle will be reduced to a tenpora
ture much below that of the surround,
ing air, having given ite heat tc
the vapor formed by the evaporation
OF the water in the cloth.

PECAN CANDY.

lake one pound oflight brown sugar.
The genuine rich brown sugar, which
is the unrefned product OF the cane,
can no longer be found for snle in the
market, though n small quantity of
this sugar is still prepared on some
Southern plantations, and occasionally
a little is forwarded to Northern Gus
toners or to friends. This sugar makes
the most delicious ''pralines." The
light sugar of our market, however, is
a fairly good substitute for it. Add
twothirds of cupful of boiling water
and two even tablespoonfuls of sweet,
saltless butter to pound of the sugar.
Stir it until it melts. Add q mere
pinch of cream of tartar, aud let the
syrup boil without stirring again. un.
til drop of it will make soft ball
when rolled between the fingers.
Wet the fingers in ice water before
testing the syrup. When the drop is
still soft, but does not stick, the candy
is ready. If it is hard, SO that the
drop cracks when bitten, it has boiled
too long, and in that case add table,
spoonful of water and let the syrup
boil an instant. Do not stir it, how
ever, but merely test it again. When
it has reached the "ball" or soft,
creamy condition. remove it from the
fire and pour in cup of nice pecan
kernals. Pour the candy out into
very thin sheets on buttered tins, and
when it is partly cooled crease it with
knife into candles about two inches
square. Break the sheet into separate
candies when it is cold.
Another way is to take out the candy
by the teaspoonful as soon as the
syrup has cooled for about two minutes.
Allow each spoonful room to spread ou
the buttered tin sheet on which it is
dropped. New York Tribune.

Brick street pavement, laid in In
dianspolis in 1891, is so badly worn,
says the Engineering News, that
property.owners may be called upon
to pay for new pavement before they
have finished paying for the old one.
Ottawa bricks were used, and the
pavement is worn down several inches
in places, and the surface is uneven
and full of ridges. The contractors
guarantee deposit of twenty cents a
yard has been practically consumed in
repairs; but the contractor contends
that he did not guarantee against or
binary wear, and he is suing for the
return of his money, as the guarantee
on parts of the pavement has expired.
Brick pavement laid later in the same
city is in much better condition, as
the specifications were more strict
and the bricks used were better.

(Piper Mehysttcum) used for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries In
this respect it rese mbles the discovery
Of quinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
1t is wonderful discovery, with a rec.
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days. 1t

neys, and is true specific, just as qui.
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers of the
gospel, well. known doctors and business
men cured by Alkavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York WSSkb W0yld of Sent 10th
the testimony Of Rev. W. b. Moore, ID. D., OF
Washington, ID. c. was given, describing his
years OF suffering from Kidney disease ana
Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by Alkavis.
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Golden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks use Of Alkavis.
Rev. John II. Watson, ofSunset, Texas, minister
Of the gospel Of thirty years service, was struck
down at his post OF duty by Kidney disease.
Amer hovering between life and death for two
months, and oil his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was com pletely restored TO
health and strength and Is fulfilling Ills duties
q
inent attorney Of Lowell Indiana, was cured of
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder disease Of ten
years standing, by Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes
himself as being in constant misery, often COM
pelled to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness Of the bladder. He was
treated by all his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony Is un-
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs James
Young, Of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried
six doctors in vain, that she was about to give
up in despair, when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured Of kidney disease and restored
wonderful curative powers Of Alkavis in the
various disorders peculiar TO womanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. A74 Fourth. Avenue, New
York, are the only importers Of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake Of intro
duction they will send a free treatment
of Alkayis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is a Sufferer
from any form OF Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Brights Disease, Rheuma-

Female Complaints, or other afiliction
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf-
erers TO send their names and address
to the company, and receive the Alkavis
free. 1t is sent to you entirely free, to
prove its wonderful curative powers.

Weather aud Crime.

Professor Willis L. Moore, in a re.
cent lecture, cited statistics to show
what a great effect the weather con-
ditions have on crime. There is a
larger proportion of crime in the hot
months than in the very cold ones,
although there is much inducsment for
crime in the winter. From the records
compiled by Weather Bureau official
few years ago, it was found that,
while there we're 1000 suicides and $500
murders during the three warmest
months of the year, there were only
1900 suicides and 100 murders during
the three coolest months.

The Washington Post, while admitting that
the consumption of beer and domestic wines
is increasing, is hopeful for the temperance
outlook, holding that the statistics show a
decreased consumption Of distilled liquors of
all kinds and that habitual drunkenness is
on the decline. The Post thinks that the
greatest agency in temperance work is the
strong, healthy, public sentiment condemna-
tory OF drunkenness. "Public opinion Is
forcing men to be temperats, by shutting the
incorporate out OF public offices and re-
sponsible private stations" While the real
cure for intemperance IS the gospel, and
plenty OF it, 1t is a fact that the gospel works
out many of its purposes through various
subsidiary means, one Of these being an i'm

The editor OF The American Grocer. Mr. +.
N. Barrett has been in the habit OF studying
the Government statistics OF the oOnsump-
tion OF liquors, and HIS conclusions have
been accepted with a great deal Of conf
dence. He has just ma 70 q careful examina-
tion OF the reports for the past year, and
shows by a number OF tables that the hard
times hive resulted in a diminished Oon-
sumption OF liquors. The total per capita
consumption OF spirits, wines and beer in
1892 was 1904 gallons; in 1895 Il was 16.4 AZ.
showing a reduction OF 1862 gallons per
capita in the five years. The most notable
reduction was In the use OF spirits, which
diminished from ]. so gallons in 1892 to one
gallon in 1896. There was a similar reduc-
tion In the use OF wines and very, slight
reduction in the use OF beer. The number OF
gallons Of spirits consumed was IN round
numbers, 1000. 900. which is less than was,
consumed IN 1887, ten years ago. From 1887
TO 1898 there was q s,eady increase, tho
amount reaching In the last named year over
101 ,O00,0 900 gallons. S'nco then thero has
been decline. Mr.. Barrett estimates that
about IL 100000 gallons OF spirits are used
annually in the arts, manufactures and in
medicine, leaving about &C, 600, 900 consumed
as a beverage. He further estimates that
barrooms retail Il gallon In about sixty
drinks, receiving therefor $3.50. "thus
making the Nations whisky bill in 1896 rs
beverage. $40 100000. while in 1892 and
1898 1t averaged s400, ,5O0,0 ,000" He says the
importation OF foreign spirits, while larger
In 1896 than in the four preceding years, was
lighter than in 1890 or 1891. The increase in
the consumption of beer In the past twenty
years has been very large. The amount con-
sumed in 1887 was a little less than 7iS, ,000.-
000 Mr.. Barrett says that beer contests with
coffee the claim to be our National beverage
The falling off in the consumption of wines
is wonderful. In 1887 there were consumed
27,706, I'll gallons Of domestic and 4,61S 900
amounts consumed were IA, 599, 727 OF domes-
tic, and 4,101,G4 of imported wines. He
makes the total alcoholic drinking bill OF the
United States for 1896 $s61. COS, ,S32, or a per
capita expenditure OF Sl43l.

BLESSED on CURSED.
Long have we borne the tie that binds
Our land beneath runs dlreful reigu,
Blest be the arm that quickly finds
A way to reach this hateful chain.
Cursed be the hand that lends its aid,
This monster evil 60 uphold.
Blest be the man in strength arrayed,
To smile the wrong with courage bold.
Cursed be tho league OF town or state,
That shares the guilt for paltry gains.
Blest be tho worker, small or great,
Whose aid the victory attalns.
Before the Judge at last must stand
The good approved, the Guilty dumb.
Come or depart nc his command,
Cursed depart or blessed come.

Anderson, Ind, Aug. 27.-The Amer

pended $4,000 in improving their
plant with machinery, has announced
the scale for the wire department,
which is a slight increase above the
average scale of like plants in the
country, but cut on last years scale
and is due to the introduction of the
plate system. The company will treat
with the men only as individuals and
the workers are DESTROYS of having
their organization recognized. Walter
Gillett, an official of the National asso-
citation, is in Anderson, and has been
active in his effort to have the associa-
ton recognized.
