HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
Handy Iteeipies lor 1'vervday I'se in
the Kitchen.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
"t inly doctors." says on of the medica'
fraternity, "know how many valuable
lives are saved by good nursing, and, on
the other hand, how many are actually
thrown away by want of It; but, tortuiv
utely, its importance Is beginning to be
belter appreciated by the people at large.
In cases of ordinary sickness the mem
bers of the ramlly usually do the nursin;?,
and in such eases their Beul and affec
tion make up to a great extent lor other
deficiencies; but when a disease Is linger
ing, or from its character requires bodliy
strength In those employed us nurses, the
services of a professional . sick nurse
should be obtained. Such a nurse knows,
or ought to know how to perform many
Important duties or which those less ac
customed to sickness ure Ignorant. She
will also be quick to notice changes In the
patient's symptoms which the relatives
from Inexperience would overlook, and
which It may be Important for the doctor
to be inl'onmd of"
COOKING DRIED Fltl'lTS.
Dried fruits, such as peaches, apricots
ami prunes, are delicious if prepaic-d In
the right way. They should lie washed
and soaked la cold water for twenty-four
hours; then the kettle, with Its content.",
should be placed on I tic stove and heated
to the boiling point. Let this simmer for
threw or four hours not adding sugar
until half an hour before the fruit is
taken up. It will be almost Jellied after
sueh u process and makes an acceptable
dessert,
TO AIAKE SWEET POTATO PIE.
Bake six sweet jiofatocs half an hour,
or until half done, then grate them. Beat
half a cuprul of butter and a teaeiipful of
sugar to a cream, add th beaten yolks
of three eggs, the juice and grated rind
of one lemon, and by degrees tho grated
potato. Then add a wineglassrul or ir.ilk.
Put the mixture In a deep pie dish and
bake firteen or twenty minutes. Cover
with the whites beaten to a meringue.
POLISHING THE DINING TABLE.
. A good polish for the dining room taid"
is a mixture or one-half turpentine and
one-halt' sweet oil. Wash the wood with
clear water, or water In which a li'tle
borax has been dissolved. Never rub coap
on polished wood. Apply the mixrure
witli a flannel cloih and polish with a cl "an
flannel.
DAINTY TOAIATO TOAST.
For tomalo toast cut the tomatoes with
out peeling, stew them till done, then
strain through u colander, add butter,
sugar, suit and milk. Thicken with a III
the Hour. Toast bread brown on both
sides, and cover each slice with a portion
of the tomato sauce.
BLACK Cl'RHANT JELLY.
Black currants make a. very ex"Cl!ent
jelly for sore throats or for other uses in
sickness. II Is prepared by boiling, first
for tin juice, but It can be squeezed
through the bag to get all possible from
them, and should boil only ten minutes,
us it soon becomes thick.
HOW TO MAKE GOOD PICKLES.
Glazed stone jars should not be used for
pli-kles, as salt and vinegar dissolve the
lead which is ill the glaze. Si-alil'mr cr
parboiling the articles to be pickled in Kelt
and water will cause them to absorb the
vinegar much sooner; but this does not
add to their crispness. I'se the strongest
vinegar for lJckllng. It (mould be s'-uhl-Ing
hot, as raw vinegar becomes ropy and
will not keep.
NASTI'ItTU'MS FOR SALADS.
The leaves of the showy garden plant,
nasturtium, or Indian cress, are excellent
In salads, being In this respect scarcely
Inferior to winter-cress, to which it Is re
lated. The (lowers serve ns a garnish for
butter balls, salads and cooked meals, und
are also used to beautify a plain bre-nl
and butter sandwich, ir a fringe of let
tuce be added the sandwich is doubly at
tractive. The scarcely formed buds nnd
the green seed (pods or fruit), when pre
served In vinegar, make an excellent
small pickle, which is usedjike capeis and
which many prefer to the letter. These
pods should be guthered in August.
TO COOK BOILING AIKAT.
Boiling pieces can be made very lender
by putting them in, a kettle with only
enough water to keep It from burning.
Add salt nnd pepper, cover up closely. It
must be watched so it does not burn. As
the water boils away add more, but ro
more than a pint at a time. Turn the
meat occasionally, and when done aii-1 no
more, but let it brown. It is almost equal
to a roust.
PRESERVING CRAB APPLES.
To preserve crab apples, take off the
stems and core them with a penknife,
without cutting them open. Weigh u
pound of granulated sugar for each pound
of prepared fruit. Add one teacup of water
to each pound of sugar, and put It over
u moderate fire. When the sugar Is all
dissolved and hot put the apples In. L-t
them boll gently until clear, then skim
out and spread them on Hat dishes. Boll
the syrup until It Is thick; put fruit In Jars
and pour syrup over It. Lemon may be
boiled with the syrup it desired, one lemon
being enough for severul pounds of fruit.
Crab apples may be preserved whole, with
stem on; In this case use three-quarters)
or n pound or sugar to each pound of
fruit.
PREPARING VEGETABLES FOR TA
BLE. Vegetables of any kind should lie put
Into fast-boiling water, and placed on th
hottest part or the range until they boil
again, and then continue to boil steadily.
Green peas should be gathered, If possible,
just before using. Boll them' twenty or
twenty-live minutes, according to ag-?.
Long boiling hardens them, as It does
corn,
WASHING GLASSES 1N COLD WATER.
Although glasses can be beautifully
washed in cold water, it takes twice the
time and cloths to dry them, and being so
much hnrder to wipe dry, are more likely
to bo broken.
CLEANING IVORY-BACKED BRUSHES
To clean Ivory-backed brushes, rub plen
ty of Hour well In, wrap up In paper and
leave all night, give a good Blinking, nnd
remove the superfluous rlour by blowing
the brush with the bellows. AH brushes
and combs should be kept In the dressing
ease, or a bag made for the purpose, when
not In use so as to keen them as much
as iiosslblo from the dust,
TO PREVENT AlCSJlLAGE HOrjUNG.
A few drops of any essential oil added
to mucilage will .prevent Its souring.
About thirty drops of syrup of glycerine
to a pint of mucilage will prevent Its
cracking when dry, or making labels curl.

THE BAT AMI THE I.AKK.
fSugerted by the political pessimists and
optimists of today.J
THH BAT
Mean bird of night! that spreads his wings
Beneath the frowning brow of Night;
And on his cycle never sings
One feeble note, but whirs afrlght;
Into tho gloom how free to dart.
At dawn how quick to hie away;
He loves the darknexs from his heart
With all his heart he hates the duy.
THTl LARK
Bright 'bird of day! with outstretched,
wings
To greet the Infant dawn of day;
And as he soars, he sweeter sings,
A prince in song on heaven's high way;
He basks In sunshine. It Is his part
To pour live notes o'er sad and blest;
He hates the dark with all his heart,
-With all his heart loves day and nest.
Rev. D. D. Jenkins.

HF.LH'inrs PKF.SS ON SILVER.
From the Toronto- Globe.
The- advocates of the gold standard In
the States apiiear to have a fair apprecia
tion of the magnitude of tho task which
confronts them, that of educating the
masses Into a recognition of the impor
tance of sound money. They see that It
will not do to meet the fie silver men
with mere abuse and ridicule, and they
are making preparations for an educa
tional campaign on a most extensive scale.
Tho newspapers on that side cotutaln ar
ticles In which the caee Is put In -I he plain
est possible way, and In many different
points of view. The worklugman is told
that his waces will be reduce! In pur
chu-lng power, the policy-holder that his
provision for his family will he rut in two
if the idans of the silver men be carried
out. T'ho financial interests at stake ire
enormous, and the banks, the Insurance
companies and business nvn generally will
be prepared to pour out money like water
in the effort to avert whut they regard as
a great commercial calamity.
II II II
But there will be something more than a
mere conflict of intellects between the
champions of opposing theories In re
gard to the currency. Evil motives are
freely Imputed. One side Is said to be a
tuntftl hy the desire for plunder, the otiKr
by tho desire to hold on to 111. gotten
gains, and to perpetuate a system of
monopoly and oppression. From this
point of view arguments on the sound
lies or unsoundness of tlnam-lul theories
are of no account. Thera Is no use In
aiKUlncr with the highwayman who wants
your purse, or with the man who has de-
liuoratei.v iiciratuiiHi you out or your
right and is determined to withhold
them. But between these extremes there
Is a tllmtable ground on which a battle
must he fought upon broader Issues than
that of the coinage. There Is poverty,
I there Is discontent, there Is a feeling
' unions tne liave-nots that someihow
they are suffering Injustice from existing
I laws ami conditions. They may seek re-
i lief In socialism, in strikes. In free silver;
I but their discontent will not be removed
by showing them that these ure of no
avail; while to denounce them as would-
be rob-bcrs and plunderers will only fan
the flame of their resentment. Even the
spectacle of capitalists spending large
sums of money in defenco of tho existing
oilier of things will be calculated to
arouse their suspicion. The campaign lit
era tu re- of the "huves" will come, to the
"have-nots" tainted with the suspicion of
sellNli motives,
II II II
Of course with those who are not ren
dered desperate by misfortune much may
be don in the way of showing the poor
man or the man of moderate means that
he has a.s much to lose by disturbance
as his wealthier neighbor, by depreciation
of the value of wages and small Invest
ments. Hut, In the main, the demon to
be fought wllh Is class luttred, and the ap
peal must be not merely to the intellect
but to moral motives, such as justice and
patriotism. And there Is need of preach
ing to t he rich ns well as to tho "poor. A
writer In The Farmer's Sun says: "The
bitterness Is aggravated by the Invidious
ostentation ot wealth, and the misconduct
of too many of the rich, who desert their
posts of social duty to spend the money
mudo by American labor In the .pleasure
cities of Europe." And an American
writer accuses the wealthy and cultured
classes of the neglect of their political
duties. "They pay," he says, "the penal
ty of selllshness nnd Indifference. It is as
was seen in the French revolution. Had
the pieity, wisdom and Industry of France
united against tho revolution, eradicated
abuses, und held true the rights of man
hood nml property, the fall of the Bastlln
would havo been the end, ns It was the
beginning, of the revolution. So if these.
gentlemen had accented and performed
their polllii'iiK duties there would have
been no disruption in Chicago."
II il II
These considerations must be) kept
steadily In view, l-'or anarchy, plunder,
lawlessness, there is of course nothing but
the strong bund. Hut it must lie assumed
that every mull who is discontented or
who is misled by false lights is bent upon
plunder, and Is to he dealt with like a
member of the criminal classes. It Is as
unjust to regard every assailant of the
existin-i? order as a robber In Intent as It Is
to regard every defender of it a si a rob
lwr In possession. Those who are to save
tho republic from disaster must, be not
only sound thinkers on economic ques
Hons, but men of broud sympathies, lov
ers of Justice and humanity, who can ap
peal to the hearts as well as to the heads
of their fellows. We have witnessed across
tho border outbreaks or tho perverted pa
triotism which llnds vent in jealousy and
hatred of other nations. But we have
also seen that upon a great occasion, when
real patriotism was called for, the Am
erican people passed through a fiery or
deal, and emerged not unscathed, but with
the cause or freedom and order triumph
ant and Willi a national dishonor blotted
out. A children of the samo great
mother of nations, ns Joint workers In- the
cause of civilization and enlightenment
nnd humanity, we all hope that our neigh
bors may have "a happy Issue out of all
their troubles."
Why the Ynnkees Won.
f!m.i.,nni V 1 1 lit u-a la tlllnr n rrrtrtil
slory he heard In the south recently, says
tho Indianapolis Sentinel. In a valley In
tm ,,r.-t H .-.t-n itiT-t nf llprvririn tutu.petl tVn
mountilno which shut out all communica
tion with the outside world, there lived an
oi l planter, who, while an ardent adherent
of tho southern cause, was too badly crlp-
1... ln-inihlLti tn tiVintil.li.t- u mitwUet
und march barefooted. But he had a son
whom nt scut ana alter me uoy nail uis-
,l-ii-n thi, mil, I IhA nltl mull wall
ed for lh- news of the strife. Occasion
ally rumors ot soutiiern victories wouiu
float over the mountains and. the old man
I'ncle S. he was colled would rejoice
, .l.o ,.n imnuniillv lilt-.?, ililSP fit mint
Julep. At other times when reverse news
came and it was reported that the gray
had been turned back the old man would
bllterly lament, ami use tne same remeuy
for grief nnd sorrow that he used to quii t
his Joy. Through It all he had abundant
faith In the ultimate victory of the conreij.
crate army, and any doubt expressed
would meet with a stern rebuke.
The ye-:rs wore on and news failed to
arrive.' The valley was dcerted and
there fin no one to learn the course of
events. The old man smoked his pipo and
waited Impatiently for news, one morn
ing as he sat on the front porch with his
pipe, far down the dusty road appeared
thi form of a solitary pedestrian. Grad
ually he approached, and the feeble vision
or the old planter recognized his long-absent
son. The puffs from his pipe came
thick and fast, but this was the only sisn
of eagerness or nervousness displayed
Tk gate swung open and the soldier
walked up an-l sat down on the steps.
"Mornin', Jim,' said the old man.
'Mornin', pap," was the quiet response.
"Shot?"
"No'p."
"Sick?"
"No'p."
The old man reached behind him for a
stout club Which he used as a can. "Jim."
ho said, nervously, "Jim, ye didn't de
salt?" "No. we're whupped."
"What!"
"Yes, we're whupped. Lee has surren
dered with his army and we uns all laid
down our guns."
The old man Jabbed with his cane at a
fly for a minute and then, looking up with
a trouble-d expression asked:
"Jim, how'd It happen?"
"Well, pap. we uns all lit our best, as
long as It was an even shako; but we uns
ull found out 'at the Lord was a Yank, on'
It was no use. We uns laid down our
guns an' cum home."
