MRS. PETER BLISS.

Wednesday morning Mrs. Christina
Bliss, wife of Peter Bliss, died at her
home, 206 West street, her death re-
sulting from dropsy. Fourteen months
ago she was taken sick with this disease
the last ten of which she had been con-
fined 10 her bed the greater part of the
time. Deceased bad been resident of
Wausau for nineteen years past and
was one of the west sides highly res
pected old citizens. She was born in
Germany Feb 11th, lS45 and emigrated
to America with her parents when but
seven years of age, settling in New York
City, where in 1861 sLs was united in
marriage to Peter Bliss A few years
later they came to Wisconsin. Mrs.
Bliss is survived by her husoand

FOE A LODGE HALL.

The matter Of building lodge hall in
this city to be owned and used jointly
by several different societies is again
being agitated. The question of con
structinq such building was up fer
discussion several years ago and com
mittees were appointed from several
societies to confer jointly and report
back for action but the matter was
prosecuted in q lax fern aaJ nothing
came of it. At ,sss.ssent, however, the
probabilities for t;sel CONSTRUCTION Of
such hall apR,ar more favorable, and
members of ne different societies, not
having Eleetlpg place oi their own,
look npou the Lltoiect now With more
favor than they did few years ago
Some of the fraternal societies of the
city are now SO large and are growing
SO fast that difficulty is experienced in
securing hall large enough Besides
the halls of this town being incommo-
dious they are poorly arranged for lodge
purposes. Such hall should be large,
well ventilated, with adequate facilities
for heating and also have dining
room, kitchen, closets for dishes, and
lockers attached and be prov ded with
all the necessary accoutrements for
giving suppers, etc, range, tables
ehairs, etc. A two-story Duildiug
erected in some central location with
stores for rent in the lower story we
believe would in short time pay back
to the stockholders their money, accord
ing to the plan that has been sub
mitted. A lodge holding stock in such
a building would then have per-
manent home, which is as necessary
as such is to the private ipaividual.
When such small societies as the Wood
men Camp at Edgar or the D. A. u v,
of this city can build halls of their own
and pay for them it seems reasonable to
suppose that several large societies of
this city, entering jointly into the mat
ter, could accomplish something in this
direction. We expect to see the matter
fully discussed by several lodges in this
city directly and believe that before
many weeks have passed favorable
action will be taken
In conjunction with this matter we
night incidentally mention that some
private individuals are now considering
the building of halls suitable for lodge
Faeeting purposes. The Livingstons,
who intend at some time to build up the
cid Music hall site, have been thinking
over the matter of making the second
story of their building hall for lodge
meetings Chas. Helke, the furniture
man, intends to erect a new building
this summer, adjoining his present
quarters, and has also been contem-
plating making hall of the second
story. He would take his present
living quarters above the store and by
tearing out the wall on the north side
snnect the same with the new building
-sssEic.i would make very large and
we'll located place.

sons, in a hi. h priced farming district,
can here find good frrlns for ali the
boys. If the boy sticks to it and makes
his own farm, it will generally do
him more good than If he got Il farm
already cleared.
The farmer with mortgage on high
priced land ia Southern Wisconsin, can
sell the farm, and with the proceeds pay
the mortgage, buy just as good land up
north and have money enough left to
hire the work of clearing done.
The man working for wages on the
farm can put the earnings of one
year into the first payment on forty
or eighty of hardwood stump land and
will soon nave good farm of his own.
The Southern Wisconsin farmer who
buys hardwood stump land. will get a
great deal of what will he timber in his
eyes, enough to furnish fuel for gener.

great many young. thrifty trees.
Hardwood stumps rot out very fast and
can soon be very easily removed, but

being that labor-saving machinery can

A Household Necessity.

A family medicine chest is one Of
the necessities in the household, and
every housewife should understand
how to use its contents. There
should be place for keeping all the
bottles and packages together, al
though it be nothing better than an
upper shelf in the closet or pantry.
Then they can be found without
loss ofNtime, which is not the case
where the bottles are left scattered
about on the windows and mantels,
The home medicine chest should
contain a bottle Of camphor, some
good liniment, a few doses of quiz
nine in capsules, sweet oil, castor
oil, paregoric, faxseed, mustard, sui
phur, yaseline, imewater and vari-
Gus other things that have been tried
and found good.
Should any member of the family
be severely burned cover the burned
portion with linseed oil and lime
water; then wrap it with cotton
wool Allow it to remain twenty
four hours.

Care of RIOT Water BAGS.

Do rot put boiling water into the
bag. Fill the bag only about half
full or little more, then lay it in
your lap before putting in the stop
per and carefully press out the
steam.
This makes the bag softer, as it
is relieved of the pressure the steam
makes if left in it. When not using
the bag, drain out the water, let it
hang bottom side up for little
while, then take it down and with
the mouth blow a little air into it,
just enough to keep the inside from
coming together, as it will often do
if there is no air in it, in which case
the bag is quite sure to be ruined in
pulling it apart.
If you have bag that is stuck to-
gether, put into it some hot water
with a few drops of ammonia, let it
remain a few minutes, then with a
thin, dull edged piece of wood try
to separate the inside very careful
ly. Never fold a rubber bag after it
has been once used. A flannel bag
for covering the rubber bag is very
useful.-Philadelphia Press.

Curtains and Draperies.

Few things give SO great an air of
comfort to a home as pretty cur
tains and draperies, and they are
useful for many purposes. Besides
their decorative aspect, they shut
out draft and exclude dust. The
curtains, for instance, used in lieu
of door to the homemade ward
robe protect the dresses within from
soil, while giving charm to the APP
pearance of the bedroom.
There are many women whose first
task when house moving is to ar
range the window draperies, because,
as they say, when once those are
completed the house will begin to
look like home, whereas the finished
room devoid of blinds and curtains
looks bare and cold.
The fashionable materials for
heavy curtains are pushes and
plushettes, serges, tapestries and
brocades for the sitting room, while
for the bedroom art linen is prefer
red or fancy cretonne.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
THE Way to Make Delicious Buck
wheat GriddIecakes.

To make buckwheat griddlecakes
mix together four cupfuls of buck
wheat flour with one scant cupful of
cornmeal and an even tablespoonful
of salt. Sift these ingredients to-
gether. To moisten them use five
cupfuls of lukewarm water or three
cupfuls of lukewarm water and two
cupfuls of milk. The milk is used
to give the rich brown color prefer
red by most people. To accomplish
this many housewives use all water
and add two tablespoonful of mo-
lasses. The milk, however, makes
the cakes more delicate. Dissolve a
compressed yeast cake in a half cup
full of lukewarm water; add it to the
other liquid. Then add the liquid
gradually to the dry ingredients,
beating hard meanwhile. Pour the
batter into pail that comes for the
purpose and let it rise over night.
In the morning just before baking
the cakes stir level teaspoonful of
soda into a quarter of cupful Of
lukewarm water and beat it into the
batter until it foams Then fry a
test cake on a hot griddle, and if it
is too thick add more water or milk
to the batter. At least a pint of the
batter should be left for the next
baking, to use in place of the yeast.
To renew the batter add the ingredi-
ents in the same proportion as the
first time.

CONDENSED STORIES.
DR.. MiIburn's Congressional Prayer
and the Reporters.

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record tells of an
amusing difference of opinion among
the newspaper men and shorthand
reporters in the senate. One day
not long ago DR.. Milburn, the blind
chaplain of the senate, in his open
ing prayer asked divine favor for
the reporters who send out accounts
of what is done in congress. There
are two classes Of these reporters
the newspaper men in the gallery
and the shorthand men on the floor
who report for The Congressional
Record. Each side at once declared
that the prayer was meant for the
other, and in the controversy that
arose an appeal was taken to Chap
lain Milburn, who promptly declar
ed that all reporters were meant, as
all needed to be prayed for.
The discussion brought to light
the fact that the chaplain's prayers
are open to revision when occasion
demands, just as the speeches Of
senators and representatives are. In
1878 DR.. Sunderland, the senate
chaplain, mentioned a host Of per-
sons by name in a prayer and the
next day found he had forgotten to
say word for Henry Wilson, the
vice president Of the United States,
SO the official reporters, after a con-
sultation with DR.. Sunderland, in
terpolated nice little prayer for
the vice president.

of the whip, had nearly run into an
