London Press on Peace Prospects.

LONDON. July 9.-Most Of the week.
~ papers think the moment opportune
for Spain To sue for peace, and they ad-
wise her TO do so.
The Saturday Review says "The
United States is in a position to act
chivalrously toward an honorable OPP
ponent. who II defeated, is not dis
graced."
The Spectator has. however, little
faith in talk OF peace and does not be-
lieve Spain will make peace until liter
ally compelled. 1t thinks the American
terms will be too hard to tempt Span
iards TO abandon their ideas Of what in
the way OF resistance is demanded OF
them by national honor.
The weeklies pay high tributes to the
American navy. The Speaker says:
"The Santiago fight proves that. so far
as the navy is concerned the United
States need not fear comparison with
any country In the world"
The Spectator draws. as a conclusion
from the battle. the conviction that the
American fleet could face even the
French fleet without great risk OF dis
aster and says: 80 far as the Ger
man and American navies go, there
would be no comparison. A struggle
between them would be very short and
very complete. and it would surprise

Codd1ed Apples.

Take large sound apples that will
cook slowly, pare and core and put in a
large, shallow pan-a milk pan is very
good Fill the holes in the apples with
sugar and small bits of lemon, pour
around enough boiling water to about
half cover them and let them cook on
top Of the stove until thoroughly done.
The water must keep boiling gently all
the time. When the apples are quite
soft, remove them and let the water
boil rapidly, adding more sugar if nee
essary until it is thick and sirupy. Then
pour it around the apples, which should
be in the dish in which they are to be
served. This will become regular jelly
when cold and will make an attractive
as we'll as delicious dish. If you
sprinkle graduated sugar lightly over
the apples and leave them in the oven
few minutes, they will have a glace
look that makes them still more attract
i've Another way is to make the strip
first and when it is boiling put in the
apples and lemon and boil gently until
you can run a broom straw through
them.-Puritan.

Garments In Cold Storage.

An English trade journal says that
furs, rugs, carpets and other valuable
wooden goods are now preserved during
the summer heat in refrigerated cham
bers. Experiments have been made to
find out the proper temperature at
which to keep such articles safe from
clothes moths, black carpet beetles,
leather beetles, the dark mealworm and
a cabinet beetle. It was found that a
temperature of 40 to 40 degrees F. in
summer is sufficient. The cold storage
companies have hitherto kept them at a
temperature of 10 to 20 degrees f..
which is more than enough.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Garnishes For Soups-Dark Oak Furni-
ture-Garments In Cold Storage.
How to Make Banana Cake.

Cream soups, when served at hotels
and restaurants, are garnished often
with croutons or bits of bread Drowned
in butter. At the home table quite as
often the croutons are passed with the
soup. This gives an opportunity for
cutting them in larger sizes. In this
connection writer in the Boston Cook
ing School Magazine says: An attractive
crouton and one that can be eaten from
the fingers is cut three Or four inches
in length and about three eighths of an
inch in width and thickness.
Crackers split, the split side buttered,
and Drowned delicately in the oven, are
also served with these soups.
When the croutons are served as q
garnish, spoonful should be sprinkled
over the top Of the soup after it is put
into the individual plate, as their crisp
ness would be lost if they were allowed
to remain long in the soup.
Tapioca, spaghetti, noodles, macaroni
cut into rings or broken in two inch
lengths and vegetables cut in fancy
shapes are all used for garnishes. In all
cases these should be cooked in boiling
sailed water until tender, then drained
and added to the soup.
Eggs in various forms make a con-
venient garnish. If the yolks be requir
ed for some other purpose, drop the
whites into a buttered mold, set the
mold into dish of hot water, cover
and allow it to stand in a warm place
until the white is thoroughly cooked.
When cold, unmold and cut into shapes
with q French cutter Serve two or
three pieces and spoonful of cooked
peas in each plate of soup. If it be more
convenient to use the yolks, drop them
into sailed water, just below the boil
ing point, and allow them to stand in
it until they are cooked throughout.
Serve one in each plate Of soup.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Boston packers have increased their
Kill somewhat though the total for the
week is by no means a large one, being
about $4,000; preceding week, 81, 800. The
movement of Boston packed meats into
export is yet good one, the total value
of these exports for the week having
been about S1S0,000; preceding week, s247-
600; same week a year ago, $165, 900.
The beef situation has continued firm
from the standpoint of the shipper and
Boston dealers have asked and tried to
obtain higher prices.
Receipts of beef have been consider
ably reduced, with the impression pre-
vailing that they are to continue short.
For the week the arrivals have been but
131 cars for Boston and los cars for ex-
port. total of 236 cars; preceding week.
l6O cars for Boston and ia cars for ex-
port, total of 3O7 cars; same week a
year ago, 1873 for Boston and ia for ex-
port, a total of 252 cars

BEGINNINGS IN HOUSEKEEPING.

Each bed should have for it's outfit
three pairs of pillow cases for it's
square pillows; two pairs of sheets,
which measure full yard more than
the length of the mattress, to insure
undisturbed and protected covers;
two white spreads, of a quality easily
Numbered and light in weight, and
two pairs of large allwool blankets,
of which one pair should be bound
separately-these constitute the sole
essentials. To them may be added
home made quilt and comfortable.
The linen must include best
cloth for special occasions, three
really good ones for general use, and
two dozen napkins that will not shed
lint. OF towels there is theoretically
no limit to the needed variety. Prac-
tically, however, there are only few
that are absolutely indispensable. One
dozen hem stitched buck for bed
room use, one dozen checked linen
for china, and one dozen crash for the
kitchen, all made in yard lengths, be-
sides three roller towels two and a
half yards long, will easily supply the
ordinary demand under the condi-
tons imposed. Of course sickness,
lavish hospitality, or even delayed
weekly washday would necessitate
larger supply in each case. A maxim
profitably observed by successful
housekeeper is worth passing on for
consideration in this connection, tex
pense for essentials only, plus remun-
erative labor, equals thrift" With
this in mind, one can easily deter
mine how much can or must be added
to the supply on hand in January,
when the thrifty housewives turn
toward the linen closet. Usually one
pair of sheets and two pairs of pillow
cases are sufficient for the annual re-
plenishing. Two table cloths, one
dozen napkins, and one-th third the
towel list added each year will insure
ample comfort under ordinary con-
ditions.

4 HERITAGE OF RUIN.

A generation agol there lived in a
Western city wealthy English gen
tleman, who was what is called "a
high liver" He drank his toddy in
the morning, washed down his lunch
with champagne, and finished a bot
tie of port for dinner, though he COM
planned that heavy wines disagreed
with him here, owing to the climate.
He died of govt at fifty years, leav-
ing four sons. One of these was an
epileptic; two died from drinking.
"Good fellows" generous, witty, hon
orable young men, but, before middle
age, miserable sots.
The Oldest of the brothers was a
man of fixed habits, occupying lead
ing place in the community from his
keen intelligence, integrity, and ire
proachable morals. He watched over
his brothers, laid them in their graves,
and never ceased to denounce the
vice which had ruined them.
When he was long past middle age
financial trouble brought him into a
low nervous condition, for which wine
was prescribed. He drank but 0 ne
bottle. Shortly afterwards his affairs
were righted, and his health and
spirits returned. But after this time
it was observed that once or twice
year he mysteriously disappeared for
a month or six weeks.
Neither his partner, wife nor child
rem knew where he went. But at last,
when he was an old gray headed man,
his wife was telegraphed from an OBJ
scure neighboring village, where she
found him dying of mania potu. He
had been in the habit of hiding there
when the desire for liquor became
maddening, and when there he drank
like brute.
1t is a recognized fact that children
of moderate drinkers" almost invar-
iably receive from them this heritage
of ruin, and their only safety is the
strictest total abstinence. Only one
drink of wine or beer or cider is
enough to rouse the slumbering de-
mon, who is thencefOrth their master.

TOBACCO SLA VERY.

Entering a gentleman's Office one
day, found him smoking.
"Ah! Mr.. Blank" I said, ''what
would you give to be free from your
tobacco habit ?''
He paused moment, and then
answered.: I would give every dollar
/ have in the world"
"Then, why do you not abandon it ?"
81 can not do it ; the habit has SO
enslaved me that can not throw it
off without more suffering than I am
able to bear"
A schoOlmate of mine from q dis
tant city has been recently at my
house for week, and one day he told
me that for fifteen years he had been
a miserable bond slave to the tobacco
habit. Many times he had attempted
to emancipate himself from it's thrall-
dom, but the agony he endured from
the want of the cigar was SO great
that he could not persist. He was
fully sensible of the folly Of his way
of life, of the degradation to which
he subjected himself, and of the bad
example he was setting before the
young and he longed to be free; but
he could not endure the suffering
which, for a time, would come from
reform. At last, he said, he resolved
that with Divine help, which he earn
estly invoked, he would be free, let
come what might. The suffering he
endured was indescribable; but he
persisted and came out conqueror.
Once, in paroxysm Of agony, his
hands were cIasped together spas
medically, and there came out blood
under the fnger-nails which had pen
etrated the skin. After the struggle
was over, and he had succeeded in
emancipating himself, his joy at his
deliverance was very great. There
was not money enough, he said, in the
Bank of England, which, if offered to
him, would induce him to go back
again to his former way of life.
Young man, you say you can stop
any time you please. Stop now, be-
fore you reach the degree of slavery
and suffering which this man reached.
Young lad, you see what is before
you if you take up the tobacco habit
Choose now-will you be a slave or
freeman?
