KEROSENE EMULSION.
This formula for a keroseno emul
sion was given by a professor iu one
of our agricultural colleges some years
ago, and I was requosted to experiment
with it on greenhouse plants. I did
so, with highly satisfactory results,
writes Eben E. Rexford, in tho Ladies'
Homo Journal. It is made as follows:
Two quarts keroseno, ono part slight
ly sour milk. Churn togetlior Jintil a
union of milk and oil results. Whon
they unite a white, jelly-like substance
will bo secured, which will mix readily
with water. Dilute this jelly with
eighteen or twenty times its quantity
of water, and shower your plants thor
oughly. Soft leaved plants, like be
gonias, primroses and gloxinias aro
frequently injured by it, if applied iu
the strength advised above; therefore,
it is well to dilute tho application by
using at least thirty parts of water to
one of the jelly.
RICE CROQUETTES.
Take half a oup of rioe, ono pint of
milk, two tnblospoonfuls of sugar,
throe eggs, a little grated lemon peel,
one tablospoonful of molted butter
aud a saltspoonful of salt. Soak tho
rioe three hours in water enough to
oover it. Drain almost dry aud pour
iu the milk. Stew iu oue saucepau set
iu another of hot water, until tho rioe
is very tender. Add the sugar, butter
and salt and simmer ten minutes.
Whisk the eggs to a froth and add
cautiously, taking tho saucepan from
tho fire while you whip thein iuto
the mixture. Return to the stove aud
stir while thoy thiokon, not allowing
them to boil. Remove the saucepan
and add the grated lomon pcol t thou
turn upon a well-greased dish to cool.
When cold and stiff, flour your hands
and roll iuto pear-shaped balls, dip in
beaten egg, then in fine cracker
crumbs anil fry in lard. Croquettes
shoull bo made some hours before
they are fried.—New York World.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
A little salt in tho starch will usual
ly prevent its stioking when you go
to iron.
Always remember that silverware
- when used to lift or as a receptacle
for oggs will turn black, and a most
obstinate blaok to got off, too. Only
silver polish will remove it.
To glaze pastry, beat the yolk of at)
egg to a froth, and when tho pastry ii
nearly done, brush with the yolk ami
return to the oven to set tho glaze,
but be careful not to let it stay too
long, as it will brown it unduly.
There is really a use for old lemon
skins. After squeezing freo of juice,
they ftre used to clean old brass and
copper. Hub them with soap and
then dip in fino aslios or polish. Hub
dry with a dry woolen cloth or a piece
of chamois.
Plaster casts in their natural state
are best freed from dust by covering
thorn with a thick layer of starch.
Whon the starch is dry, brush
thoroughly with a stiff brush, and it
will be found that tho dust has boon
removed with tho starok.
A burning thirst may bo curod by

is no civilizer like the bath.

TIIE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE THE
BULLET FAILED.
Our Alwy Knlittlcd in the
Infirmities cf the Veieru.
C From the Herald, Woods lock, Va.)
Thore la an old soldier in Woodstock, Va.,
who aorred in tho war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion, Mr. Levi Mclaturff.
Cle passed through both thceo wars without
nsoriouß wound. The hardships, however,
told soriously on him, for whon tho grip at
tacked him four yoars ago it nearly killed
him. Who oan look upon tho Infirmities of
% votoran without a feeling of tho deepest
lympathy? His townspeople saw him con
fined to his house so prostrated with great
Qorvousness that he could not hold a knife
and fork at tho tabic, so&rooly able to walk,
too, and as ho attempted it. he often stum
bled and fell. Thoy saw him treated by the
best talont to bo had—but still he suflforod or.
for four years, and gave up finally in despair.
Ouo day, however, he was struck by the ac
count of a euro which had been affected by
tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink Tills. He im
mediately orderod u box and commenced tak
ing thorn. Ho says ho was greatly relieved
within throe days' time. The blood found it*
way to his Angers, and his hands, which hod
boon palsiod, assumed a natural color, and
ho was soon enabled to uso his knife aud fork
at tho table. lie has recovored his strength
to such an extent that ho is able to chop
wood, shock ooru and do his regular work
about his homo. Ho now says no can not
only walk, to Woodstock, but can walk acros*
the mountains, 110 is able to lift up a fifty
two pound weight with one band and says he
does not know what Dr. Williams' Pink' Pill*
have done for others, but knows that they
have done a groat work for him.
Ho was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in lus praise of tho niodicliu
that had given him so great relief. Ho pur
chased another box and took it homo with
lilni. Mr. Mclaturff is willing to make aid
davit to those facts.
The proprietors of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
state that thoy are not a patent medicine, but
a prescription used for many years by an em
inent practitioner, who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all forms
of weakness arising from a watery condition
of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful
causes of ulmost every ill to which llosh is
heir. Tho pills arc also a specific for tho
trouble ncculiar to females, such as suppres
sions, all forms of weakness, chronic consti
pation. bearing down pains, etc., aud in the
case of men will give speedy relief and effect
a permanent cure iu ull eases arising from
inontul worry, overwork or oxoesces of what
ever nature. Thoy are entirely harmless and
can lie given to weak and sickly children
With tho greatest good and without tho
slightest danger. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of

Critics ana WoDcr.
Now, wo understand that u critic is a
person capable of judging, so, there
fore, by the power of reus #ing, every
one who is capable of judging is a
critic; but It nevertheless seems strange
that we are satisfied to rest our faith
upon those who not only are unknown,
(so long as they preserve their incog
nito), but without first giving any evi
dence that they are fit and capable
persons to deal with the various sub
jects undertaken by them. To criticise
Is to pass judgment, and, while in mat
ters of law we ull know who the partic
ular Judge is who gives his decisions,
in other matters "an unknown" has the
same duty to perform, not so much con
cerning life and property certainly,
though it does very often affect indi
viduals.
Again, in law an adverse decision
can be appealed against, but we have,
In art, no higher authority than the un
known individual,unless it be "Time,"
the great ruler of all things; so, until
this comes übout, conflicting opinions,
frequently as far apart as the anti
podes, reign supreme. It is well known
that great musicians, in the true sense
of the word, have been In times past
spoken disparaginly against, and their
works have been condemned, though
such works have lived only to show
the shallowness of the criticism at the
time of their production.
To refer to a few of these: On the
first appearance of Weber's opera, "Dor
Freischutz," the judges of the press
theu declared that this music could
be compared to "noise produced by
whistling in the barrel of a key," and
that the opera was only saved by the
"Huntsmen's Chorus!" This is what
we of the present day have to reflect
upon as being the opinion of our ances
tors of the operatic masterpiece of
Weber!—Tlie Westminster Review.
Travels 80 Miles an Hour.
The fastest steam launch in England
at the prt'seut time IN the llihernia,
which makes a rate of thirty-nine miles
an hour. The boat is 48 feet 8 inches
long, 7 feet 8 inches broad and 1 foot
4% inches in draught. Her engines are
two cylinders, both high pressure, 7%
inches in diameter, stroke t inches, rev
olutiohs from 750 to 1,050 per minute.
The propeller is tliree-bladed. At or
dinary speed the boat makes but little
wash. With a slight touch of the regu
lator, she leaps forward, and as the
speed increases she sinks slightly to
the stern, while rising by the head, nil
til at a critical high speed the bow rises
clean out of the water, and resting on
her keel the boat shoots along between
a double wall that hides about two
thirds of her hull completely.—Phila
