.EOUSEHOLD MATTELS.
TO CAN PEAS.
~ The best variety of peas to can green
is the Little Gem, or any of the tender
early kinds, as Blue Peter, Abundance,
or McLain’s Little Gem, mentioned.
This last is considered the finest for
canning, e process is as follows:
The peas sreshelled in the usual way
and put in new tin or glass cans, and
if in tin the covers are soldered om,
leaving a small pinhole in the center
of the cover; or, if glass, the covers
are put on loosely to afford escape for
the air and steam. The cans are put
in a boiler in cold water, and the
water is brought to a boil and kept at
this temperature for an hour, when
the cans are teken out, and, if of tin,
are closed by a drop of solder on the
hole; if of glass, the rubber rings are
put on and the covers are fastened
down tightly. They ere cooled slowly
and kept in a cool place. No salt is
used. A little water is put in the cans
before they are closed in.—New York
Times.
POISONOUS PAPER.
A great many cooks have adopted
the simple method of using ordinary
white paper to cover the bottom of
their cakes, bread and other articles of
cookery. In many homes ordinary
printed newspapers are used to cover
the top of bread-loaves in order to
keep the top crust from burning, whila
the rest of the bread bakes properly.
The danger residing in printer’s ink
alone should discourage any one from
adopting such a method, but really
no paper of any sort should be used in
cooking. If we could see how most of
our paper, even the cleanest and white-
looking paper is made, we would feel
disgusted every time that we used it
for cooking. All sorts of refuse is
mixed in it, and many of them are
poisonous. Paper is filled with glue,
lime and other chemicals, which makes
it poisonous to the stomach. If this
is brought in contact with wet cake, or
any article that is cooking, a great
deal of injurious substances will be ab-
sorbed, and finally be eaten. If one
must have such things as paper or
cloth for cooking purposes, small
pieces of cheese cloth should be used.
This is almost as cheap aa good white
paper, and it is far more satisfactory.
Our best French cooks are appreciat-
ing this, and many of them use cheese
cloth in preference to paper.—Yankee
Blade.
TO CONQUER TEE MOTHS,
The moth-miller makes her aps
pearance between the middle of
April and the last of June, and if the
eggs are in any garment when put
away it will be damaged in the fall, na
matter how many preventatives have
been used.
Give the garments to be put away
and which cannot be washed, a thor:
ough shaking and brushing, and ex-
pose them to the sun’s rays for a few
hours. Then put them into pape:
flour sacks; fold the edges of the sack
and paste over it a thickness of muslin
or paper, thereby sealing it so secure
ly that the mother-miller cannot get
in. Another way to outwit her is to
paper a large box on the inside, fill i;
with the woolen garments, fit on ths
cover, then paste paper all over the
outside.
To protect furniture and carpets,
saturate strips of red flannel with a
solution of arsenic and lay them unde
the edges of the carpets and inside the
lining of the furniture covers. The
worm will eat of them and die.
Moths are especially fond of babies’
cloths. If the miller finds a spol
where milk has beer: she will deposif
her eggs there. A wool mattress is
another place for which she shows
great partiality,anditishard to prevent
her from depositing eggs somewhera
in it. The best remedy is to prop the
mattress up on blocks of wood out in
the yard and set under it a dish of
live coals, on which you must sprinkle
sulphur irom time to time. Caremusi
be used to prop it high enough not to
become scorched.
Remember that whatever you use
must be used in time to prevent the
moth from depositing ker eggs, as
there are few things that will kill the
worm. Oil of cedar, turpentine cam.
phor, oil of cloves or wintergreen will
keep the worm away, but evaporate
quickly and should be used early and
renewed often. They kill neithe:z
moth nor worm, and must be stong to
be effective.—St. Louis Star-Sayingy
RECIPES.
Sauce for Braised Calf’s Liver—Melt
and brown one large tablespoonful of
butter ; add to it two tablespoonfuls of
flour, stir until it is smooth and brown ;
then add one pint of the liquorstrained
from the pan, stir until it. thickens.
Take from the fire, add one tablespoon-
ful of Worcestershire sauce; season
with salt and pepper and serve.
Queen of Puddings—Four eggs—the
yolks, one and one-half cups of sugar,
butter the size of a walnut, one pint of
bread crumbs, one quart of milk, one
grated lemon ; bake until done, but not
watery. Spread over the top a layer
of jelly or preserves, beat the whites of
the eggs to a stiff froth ; add four table-
spoonfuls of sugar and the juice of one
lemon and spread this on. Then set
it in the oven again to slightly brown.
Grape Preserves—Select large, well-
ripened fruit, pick from the stems,
carefully rejecting overripe and mouldy
ones. Pulp the fruit, placingtheshins
in one vessel and the pulp in another.
Boil the latter, without adding any
water, for fifteen minutes, then rub
through a wire sieve. During this
operation cook the skins until tender,
after adding a little water. Add the
pulp to the skins and measure, allow-
ing three-fourths of a pound of sugar
to eagh pint, and beil together, stir-
ring constantly, for fifteen to $wenty
minutes.

| PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE
er —
REVIEW OF ITS WORK.
tn
It Was Somewhat Barren of Especially
Important Results. A Great Many
Bills Were Introduced, But the
Ones That Went Through Not
of Far-Reaching Interest.
BR
The session of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
tore just ended was somewhat barren of es-
pecially important results. While a large
number of bills were introduced, and many
passed gnally, neither those which received
the legislative sanction nor those which fell
were of especially general interest.
The amended Baker Ballot law works
some important changes, but was not to the
radical extent its supporters desired. It and
the bills fixing polling places within the
territorial limits of the election districts,
and forbiding political committees paying
for naturalization papers, requiring elec-
tors to vote where domiciled and making
election days legal half holidays, are the
principal measures of a political character.
Tne labor legislation was practically in-
cluded in the amended Factory Inspection,
Compulsory Arbitration, and Anti-Pinker-
ton bills, and the revised Bituminous Mine
Ventilation law. The first Saturday in
September was made Labor Day.
There was a great deal of school legist-
tion, and perhaps the most important bill
of the session was the Farr Free Text Book
bill, with its accompanying appropriation
of $500,000 for the purchase of books. Oth-
ers worthy of note are those regulating the
salaries of county superintendents prohibit-
ing them for engaging in teaching, except
gratuitously, prohibiting members of
boards of school control trom holding sal-
aried positions under the boards:
) giving
graduates ot chartered collezes the same
rights to teachers’ permanent certificates
enjoyed by normal school graduates, and
authorizing cities and boroughs not divided
into wards for school purposes to maintain
high schools, The salary of the State Su-
perintendent of Instruction -was also
increased from $2,500 to $4,000.
The re-equipment of the National Guard
was provided for, and a reorganization bill
making some important changes was pass-
ed. A naval militia was also established.
An industrial home for soldiers’ orphans
was created, with an appropriation for iis
erection, and the law governing the Soldiers
and Sailors’ Home at Krie wasamended by
extending the right of admission to soldiers
of other States who have lived five yrars in
Pennsylvania. Fraternal societies were de-
fined and regulated, and a separate bill was
passed in relation to the benefits paid by
them.
The main bills affecting the agricultural
interests were those creating the office of
Dairy and Food Commissioner and that pro
hibiting the use of oleomargarine in institu-
tions receiving State aid. The appropriation
for the salary and expenses of the Dairy
and Food Commissioner was defeated, con-
sequently the law is practically nugatory
until the next session. The two things in
which the farmers were really interested
were the additional appropriation of another
million dollars annually for public schools
and the bill changing the method of elect-
ing members of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. Both of these were lost on the last
night of the session, and lost by the tilibus-
tering by representatives of the rural coun-
ties, who were apparently willing to defeat
measures in which their own constituents
were interested in order to defeat those
which they thought would benefit people to
whom they were opposed.
Among other leadipg measures passed
and which. like those enumerated above
have received the Governor's approval, were
the following: Establishing State Boards of
Medical Examiners; repealing the law per-
niitting physicians to be pharmacists with-
out pas:ing the prescribed examination;
authorizing the Governor to commission
women as notaries; defining second degree
murder; punishing frands by the keepers
of stallions; providing for the safety of em-
Ploy in new buildings; creating borough
oards ot health; authorizing the formation
of co-operative banking associations; appro-
priating $500,000 for a state library build-
ing and $125,000 for remodeling the present
capitol, punishing dairy adulterations;
creating a Forestry Commission: regulating
mileage and expenses of presidential elec-
tors; prohibiting of minors under 14 running
elevators; general dog tax law, and compvil-
ing the corporpation laws of the State. The
local prohibitory laws for the boroughs of
Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland county and
Verona, Allegheny county, iwere repealed,
and the former has been ‘signed by the
Governor. He has also approved the Satur-
dav Half Holiday bill.
There are nearly 200 bills yetin the hands
of the Governor, most of which are appro-
priation bills, and will likely be disposed of
rapidly. His Excellency has 30 days in
which to approve or veto the measures left
over, and there will probably be delay with
regard to many of the more important gen-
eral bills. Among these are the Baker Bal-
lot and General Appropriation bills, the
Quarantine law, the bill establishing an
emergency fund of $5),000 for use by the
State Board of Health in case of ejidemics;
the McCarrell bill permitting street railways
te consolidate; abolishing city treasurers’
fees; Factory Inspection bill, authorizing
courts to aproint ins ectors of school houses
where school boards have failed to provide
adequate accommodations, and providing a
Jenaly for such neglect in school boards;
eputy Coroners bill; permitting mechanics
journeymen and laborers to file liens for
wages against buildings on which they have
Been employed, and the Hewit Pure Food
ill.
During the session 1,129 house and senate
bills were introduced in the house. Of the
house bills 214 were negatived, 160 1%ad a
first time only, 154 read a second time and
postponed or failed, 35 read aj third time
and failed, and 8 not read at all. There were
371 passed and sent to the senate.
Fifty-four senate bills were nezatived; 120
fell on seccnd and 13 on third reading, and
109 passed finally, making the total number
of bills passed by the house 333. The total
number of bills sent to the Governor from
both branches was 452, He approved 138,
the
session closed. Of the 279 left over he sign-
ed 101, all appropriation bills.
Among the House bills that were not
reached on third reading were those for the
examination and registration of miners;
creating a new normal school district; tax-
ing beer 16 cents a barrel, and all the pro-
osed amendments to the Constitution. The
Senate bills empowering boroughs to estab-
lish Poe pension funds, paying bounties
for the destruction of wild cats, and estab-
lishing a State Board of Undertakers were
not reached on second reading,
THE CASH ON HAND.
HAR rR1SBURG—The statement of the
amount in the State Treasury at the close of
business on May 31, exclusive of moneys
appropriated to the sinking funds, shows
$7,817,434 90 hand.
No Present Fear of Cholera.
Treasury officials are not apprehensive
that cholera will appear in this country.
The government is observing all known
precadtions to prevent the disease reaching
here, and these efforts will be doubly in:
creased now that cholera has appeared ir
Hamburg. It is not thought necessary to
quarantine against any of the European
ports, but should cholera increase Secretary
( Carlisle will not hesitate to do so.
KEYSTONE STATE CULLINGS
THREE CHILDREN CREMATED.
CAUGHT IN
A FIRE. AT THEIR FATHER'S
HOUSE.
CaNoONsSBURG—Fire completely destroyed
the farm house of Samuel Skiles - in Char-
tiers township, two miles west of this place,
and in the conflagration Skiles’three young-
est children lost their lives. Skiles was
awakened by the noise of the flames, and
hurrying to the kitchen found the room in
flames. He endeavored to subdue the fire,
but finding that impossible turned his at-
tention to rescuing his little ones, who were
sleeping in an upstairs apartment. He was
unsuccessful in this, and two children, aged
respectively 4 and 6 years, perished in the
flames. A babe of only a few months,
which was terribly burned, died a few hours
later.The fire originated from an overheated
cook stove in the kitchen, in which natural
gas was used.

THE HOY FAMILY BURIED
EVIDENCE THAT HOY CONTEMPLATED DROWN-
ING HIMSELF IN THE RIVER.
Co~xNELLSVILLE.—The bodies of John Hoy,
wife and two children, who were murdered
Sunday night, were buried in Hill Grove
cemetery Thursday, While preparing
Hoy’s body for burial it was Giscovered that
he had waded into the river up to his arm-
pits. This is taken as evidence that he first
contemplated drowning himself and then
changed his mind and returned to the house
killing family and then himself. As the
fact is not established that Hoy was a murd-
erer and suicide, and some think he died
defending his family, the Rev. Father
O’Connel decided that his body could be
buried in consecrated ground.

closing scenes unparalleled in the history of
Pennsylvania legislation, the General Assem.
bly adjourned at noon Thursday, the House
leaving an unfinished calendar” of Senate
bill on which 98 meastrz: of varying im-
or ase Luw sue i0g fof two years at
ledst, 37d Many of them forever. Seldom,
if ever, has the list of unfinished legislation
attained tg such proportions, and itis to be
Phe that fi¥¥er in the past was the failure
16 transact public business due, as it was
last night, to a deliberate purpose rather
than the lack of time to properly consider
and give it the legislative sanction. To fully
portray the scenes of confusion, strife and
filibustering would take too much space.
So far as thé House is concerned the sub-
ject may be dismissed with the statement
that certainly nothing became it less than
the manner in which it passed from official
existence into the history of the Common-
wealth. The earlier portion of last night
was consumed in the consideration of con-
ference reports, with oecasional action on
the calendar, and until after the midnight
anjournment the house maintained a dig-
nity and good order seldom witnessed dur-
ing the closing hours of a session and which
caused much wondering and even flattering
comment, But it was only the calm before
the storm. Immediately on rea-sembling
the purposes of a large section of the mem-
bership became plainly apparent, and after
that the house was the scene of a desperate
and successful effort to carry them out.
Among the bilis that tell were those giv-
ing street railways the right to carry mail
and express; permitting the cars of street
railway companies to be run on the tracks
of other companies; the Laubach bill grant-
ing electric railways the right of eminent
domain; the amended Banking Department
act; the McKeesport'bill relating to the as-
sessment of agricultural lands in cities of the
third class; changing the method of electing
members of the StateBoard of Agricultural;
authorizing natural gas companies to man-
ufacture or purchase and supply artificial
gas; the Lloyd Township Road ~ bill; the
Pittsburg Boulevard bill; authorizing trans-
fers of retail liquor licenses by the Courts
of Quarter Sessions; authorizing school
boards to purchase public school libraries
in their districts; providing for the appoint-
ment of State Game Commissioners; en-
larging the cause of action in divorces: pro-
viding for the adoption of trade marks by
associations or unions of workingmen; giv-
ing discretionary powers to the trustees of
the Mercer Hospital.
The Factory Y eecetion bill was called up
out of order and passed, and the Conference
Committee reinserted the appropriation for
Inspector Watchorn's salary in the General
Appropriation bill.
The amended Baker ballot law provides
a penaity of $100 fine and 30 days imprison-
ment where a voter falseiy pleads disability
in order to obtain assistance in making his
ballot.
Both Houses met at 11 o'clock, the gal-
leries in each branch being crowded with
spectators. In jthe senate George Handy |
Smith nominated Senator C. Wesley Thomas
of Philadelphia for president pro tem. Sen-
ator Monaghan did the same act for Mr.
Markley, of Montgomery, the Democratic
caucus candidate. Mr. Thomas was elected
by a party vote, and after delivering a little
speech of thanks was sworn in by Judge
Simonton. The usual resolutions of thanks
to Lieutenant Governor Watres, President
pro tem. Gobin and the clerks of the sen-
ate were offered with complia entary speech-
es, and, on behalf of the senate. Mr. Ross,
the Democratic leader, presented General
Gobiu with a handsome silver service.
Si. ilar resolutions were presented in the
House re'ative to the Speaker and the
clerks, even the newspaper nen coming
in for a generous resolution of thanks for
their impartial accounts of legislative trans-
actions. Mr. Fow. for the House, presented
Speaker Thompson with an oak case of
silver knives and forks. and Mr. Riter pres-
ented a similiar set to Chief Clerk Voornees.
Mr. Voorhees also presented the Speaker
with a gold mounted ivory AVL All
the clerks received presents of various sorts,
and resolutions of sympathy ror Messrs.
Lawrence, Leeds, and Tewksbury, who were
absent through iilness, were adopted. Both
Houses adjourned sine die at noon Thurs-
ay.
¥ APPROVED BY THE GOVERNOR.
The governor approved the following
bills: Concurrent resolution asking Pennsyl-
vania n.embers in Congress to support the
bill for a ship canal to connect the waters
of Lake Erie and the Ohio river; directing
the county commissioners of the several
counties to procure, bind and preserve

THE NATIONAL GAME.
WevRING is Philadelphia’s winning pit
cher.
Tee deaf mute Washington outfielder,
Hoy, is learning to talk.
“Buck” Ewing, of Clevaland, leads the
League in base running.
THE new rules have now been fully gested
and the public likes the change.
Tue Brooklyn's have more bicycle riders
than any ball club in the country.
TrE Boston Club is negotiating with High~
lands, the suspended Harvard pitcher.
CLEVELAND has the hardest hitting trio irr
the League in McKeon, McAleer and Ewing.
TeE base runner should have about five
feet leeway at the home plate. to prevent col
liding with the catcher.
Tre Washington Club has signed Pitcher
Stocksdale, the highly extolled pitcher of
Johns Hopkins University
Nasu’s long throws across the diamond are
simply marvelous. The Boston captain has
eo rival in his department.
STEIN, of Brooklyn, is to date the king
pitcher of the League. His team is almost
sure of winning every game in which he
pitches. ;
DrcorATION DAY games attracted €7,295
people in 1892 and 99,715 im 1893, and yet
some writers feared that the interest was dy-
ing out.
STZIN, of Brooklyn, and Terry. of Boston
—beth cast-offs, the one from Chieago, the
other from Brooklyn—are deing about the
best pitching in the League.
PrrcHERs in mearly all the League teams
are complaining of the new rule that places
them flve feet baek of the old box. The bat-
ters, however, say there's: nothing like it.
DoyLe's catching and throwing to bases
bave placed him im the front rank of catchers
this year. The New York backstop has three
of the hardest and most erratic pitchers in
the League to hold.
GRIFFIN, of Brooklyn, has the most pe-
culiar manner imaginable of holding his
hands when going for a fly. He holds his
bands as far as possible from his body, and
catches the ball in that style.
O'Rourke's catch of a line ball off Doyle's
bat in the eighth inning at Baltimore was
perhaps one of the most startling catches ever
made. O’Rourke was running at full speed,
and as the ball was passing over his head he
threw up his hand and caught it. At the same
instant he fell and rolled over, but he held
up the ball to show he had not lost his grip.
Micua:L J. KELLY is an eccentric man in
some things, but he is a remarkable baseball
player, and his acquisition by the New York
Club promises to be a good thing all around.
Kelly is one ot those fortunate people pos-
sessed of an unusual amount of magnetism.
He is an enthusiast himself, and his very
presence in a game insures a lively contest.
