THE HOUSEHOLD.
Cleaning Up In the Kitchen - Home
made Noedlebook-M Made Of
Chicken Livers.

Next to having clean range and a
good fire 1t is most important that all
pots, pans, saucepans and other cooking
utensils should be sorupulously clean.
Az success in cooking often depends on
this point 1t is we'll that the mistress Of
the house should know something OF
scullery work. for unframed servants
never seem to have any idea of the
proper methods of cleaning even when
they can cook little.
cannot but think that few prac-
tical directions may prove useful to my
readers, so shall here give some notes
on the subject.
Whether in scullery work or cookery
the first thing to do Is to collect all the
utensils and ingredients that may be
required. 1t is most annoying to have
to stop In the midst Of making a cake,
for instance. when ones hands are
f1oury, in order to go and search for
baking powder, perhaps finding the sup
ply run short and then waiting while a
messenger is dispatched for 1t to that
little store around the corner, thus los.
ing time and patience.
To clean an iron saucepan pail OF
hot water, soda, flannel and sand are re-
quired. If there be any SCOT adhering to
the exterior, scrape 1t off with an old
knife, then put the saucepan into the
water, soap the flannel, sprinkle little
fine sand on it, and wash the utensil
both inside and out, removing all grease
and remnants of food. Rinse in clean,
cold water and dry thoroughly with a
dry dishcloth, as If put away damp the
saucepan will rust. The outside but not
the handle may be blackleaded. putting
on the black lead with small brush,
rubbing 1t in with a second and polish
ing with third. The saucepan may
now be busted inside and placed upside
down ON the pot board, SO that the air
but no dust may enter.
Some people when they desire to clean
saucepan put 1t on the fire to boil with
soda and water, but this is unwise, as
the bottom ia liable to burn If any vege.
table, etc., has adhered to it.
To clean the lid first wash it in q
similar manner to the saucepan with
soap, soda and little sand, then apply
whitening mixed with water to the
consistency of cream. Let this dry on
the tin, then polish off, taking out the
whitening from the orevioes with q
wooden skewer if necessary.
Tin saucepans are cleaned in the same
manner as the lids-namely, first wash
ed and dried and then frightened with
whitening. Boston Traveller.

order has been sent by the War De-
partment to commanding officers in

or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
"If that mischievous financial pol.
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil Wa in that country, should be-
come indurated down to fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR IT WILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE"

England and Germany, estimated at
ST., 500, 900, were the agents that Sc
cured the closing of our mints against
silver.
The "walk into my parlor" policy
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding Of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 1t is paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas
ure and profit.

and Performed Successful Operation.
Atlantic City, N. j., Dec. 1S.-Mich-
ael Campinelli, five years old, is in the
City. Hospital recovering from a re-
markable operation. He is minus a
kidney, for 1t was that organ which
was removed from his body by the doc
tors. The boy had been accidentally
shot In the back some time ago, and as
his kidney had swollen to the size OF
a cows kidney, which the doctors
learned by means of X-rays, consulta-
tion was held. 1t was decided by the
physicians that the only chance OF saw
ing the boys life was to remove the
kidney, which was perforated with
buckshot. The doctors had decided
that the buckshot had caused the kid
ney to become enlarged, and it was
with the idea of removing it that Mich
ael was placed on the operating table.
The operation was very successful.
