My so-called “help” having left me with scarcely a word of warning, I had bread to bake; all of us preferring homemade bread above the baker’s.

At last she shook out and spread on the ironing table a fine, white linen apron, for one of her little girls. It looked as though it might “stick” a little, as there was here and there a little starch sticking to it. I noticed, as she took her iron from the gaso- line stove, she gave it a rub or two on a cloth, at her right hand. It was very much browned by usage, and sent up a terrible smoke. Then she ironed that apron as easy as possible. Well ! I was astonished, and said, “ I would like to know why your flatiron did not stick one bit?” She looked pleased and said, “Oh! don’t you know ?

The very best men have the little weakness of liking to hold the family purse strings, and to pay out everything themselves. Of course this does not refer to those whose wives are self- 3'JPPOX'i'illgs either through inheritence or from their own work, but to husbands whose wives have to look to them for every cent they spend. This is not at all owing to selfishness or psrsimony, but merely to thoughtlessness and to man’s inherent incap- abilit’y to see things from a. woman’s point of view. However wise and far-sighted a man is in other things he is apt to lose his j‘udgment vghen it comes to family finances. nne 838115116“ uuLu a out-u an: nun-.5 yaw.

Stir the soda. into the milk, and 1 beat a. few minutes before adding the other ingredients. Bake in hot, well-buttered gem pans. Well-beaten egg add to the batter improves it, but it is nice without. Some of the canned and dried vegetables make healthful and economical changes for the table. These vegetables should be treated with great care. Canned peas and string beans should be turned from the can into a. strainer and rinsed by pouring cold water over them. As a rule, these vegeo tables are cooked enough in the canning,and when to be served should only be thorough- ly heated and properly seasoned. The simplest and best way of preparing these two vegetables is to add to a can of vege- tables, after being rinsed, one large tea- spoonfnl of butter, one of sugar, one level teaspoonful of salt and one gill of hot water. Place on the fire and do not cook for more than ten minutes. ' Canned corn is excellent if prepared in this manner : Turn the com info the double boiler and add half a pint of milk, one tea.- spoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of butter. Place on the fire until thoroughly heatedâ€"say for about ten minutes. It ruins corn to be over-cooked. OATMEAL L’IUSH.â€"1nt0 two quarts of boiling, salted water, add slowly one and one-half cupfuls of oatmeal, and stir for a. few minutes ; then set in a. kettle of boiling water and boil three hours.

OATMEAL BLANCMANGE. â€"A delicious blancmzmge is made by stirring two heap- ing tablespoonfuls of oatmeal into a little cold water; stir into a. quart of boiling milk ; flavor, and pour into molds to cool. Serve with cream and sugar. Dried Lima. beans are a delicious vege- table. Soak half a. pint over night; in cold water. The next day drain of the water and rinse the beans in fresh water. Put them on the fire in one quart of fresh water and cool: slowly for two hours. Pour off all the water except about a gill ; then season with a. level teaspoonful of salt and a tablespoon- ful of butter, and cook ten minutes longer. Another way is to pour off all the water and add a gill of milk and the seasonings ; the cooking to be continued for ten minutes. The cooked corn and beans may be mixed just before being served, and making a delicious succotash. There is almost no end to the uses to which canned tomatoes can be put for soups, sauces, entrees ; and as a vegetable they are of great value. he store-closet should never be without a few cans of this useful vegetable. OATMEAL BISCUIT. â€"Rub a. round table- spoonful of butter or land into one quart of oatmeal flour, and wet. it with one pint of sour milk, in which has been dissolved one teaspoonful of soda and one-half teaspoon- ful of salt.

Never unnecessarily handle the dishes, or in any other manner exhibit: nervousness or impatience. Do not feel obliged to “clean up the plate ;" especially do not make a laborious display of doing so. If the handkerchief must be used, let it be very quietly ; in case that is notpossible, leave the table for a. moment, which may be done in case of a. sharp attack of coughing, sneezing, or the like, without asking per- mission, the cause being manifest.

Concerning Oatmeal- Oanned Vegetables- The professors in the colleges of Spain are miserably underpaid, often receiving no more than $200 per year. They endeavour to make a. small profit out of their text- books, each requiring his own book to be used. These books are frequently in menu- script, or, if printed, are sold at unusual prices. The students, also poor, resort in consequence to second-hand shops and the annual fair, where a specialty is made of collegiate textbooks.

The lat- ter, according to an analysis of bread baked in Berlin, contains but 604 per cent. of albumen and 0'48 per cent. of fat, while the “ hunger-bred ” contains 11'79 per cent. of albumen and 3'79 of fat. If the Pacific could be laid bare, we should have a most singular spectacle. rI.‘here would be a number of mountains with truncated tops scattered over it, and those mountains would have an appearance just the very reverse of that presented by the mountains we see on shore. You know that the mountains on the shore are covered with vegetation at their bases, while their tops are barren or covered with snow ; but these mountains would be perfectly here at their bases, and all round their tops they would be covered with beautiful vegetation of coral polypes.

Midland county there stands an old country house in which most of the apartments are of the spacious size which was popular with architects of a century or two ago. Well, the walls of one of these chambers has been entirely covered with small shells, arranged in a pattern resembling roses, and with the smallest distance possible between the flowers. This considerable task was ac- complished by two persons, a lady and her maid. The efi‘ect of their labours is said to be extremely picturesque.

A Berlin correspondent says:â€"Some weeks ago the wife ot a workman who kept a shop as a small provision dealer was found, with her little child, murdered in a room behind the shop, and part of her valuables and money stolen. On Sunday the murderer was discovered in the person of a. boy of 1.5 years of age, the son of a workman who formerly lived in the same house with the murdered woman. He roused sus icions‘ on the part of higparents by giving 1.; xexn pres- ents of money and incurring various ex- penses. He pretended to have earned the money in his new situation, but his mother could not rid herself of her doubts, and ex- pressed them in conversation to neighbours. Probably through the latter an anonymous communication was made to the police. At first the boy tried to deny everything, but at last confessed his crime. \Vith cynical coolness he related the details of the mur- der, which he had made up his mind to com- mit on New Year’s Day, but postponed till he had no money. He murdered the wom- an exactly as was described in the press. He knocked her down with a blow on the head from a mangle-roller, and then stabbed her in the neck. “And then?” the young murderer was asked. “Then it was the child’s turn. After that I looked about for money, and found it, and now I have noth- ing more to say.” When asked why he murdered the little boy, he coolly answered, “Oh, it screamed so.” two rands, l2 heel pieces, two sole’ linings, :20 upper pieces , 30 tacks, 12 nails 1n the heels, and twenty buttons, to say nothing of thread both silk and flax ; but the wonder is found in the rapidity With which these multitudinous pieces are combined in _a. sm- gle complete work, for, as an experiment, some of our shoe factories have from the leather completed a. pair of shoes in less than an hour and a. half, and as a. test a. single pair of men’s shoes have been finished 1n twenty minutes.

Christian IX. walks through the streets of his capital escorted only by his favourite dog ; while the Crown Prince so far joins in the amusements of the humblcr citizens, as to take his children to the theatre in the Tiroli Gardens to Witness a variety entertainment, consisting of jug- glery, songs, and acrobatic teats ; the only ceremony being the reservation of some front seats (price one shilling each) for themselves and their suite, the playing of the National Anthem on the arrival of the party, and the firing of a toy cannon out- side, which latter perfornmnce necessitates the opening of a window, whether to pre- vent the breaking of the glass, or to enable those in the house to hear the report, is still an open question. As the Royalties enter, the audience rise and uncover, but as soon as they are seated, hats are at once pat on, and cigars and punch at once resunr e . Captain Atkinson, who is acting against the Kachins in the Sims. district, reports that the operations of the Palap columns have been attended with complete success. The enemy’s position was attacked from both sides by Captain Atkinson and Lieu- tenant Drever. The former officer forced his way at the head of his men through the fence of a. strong stockadc, and, crawling over the roof of a. block-house between the loopholes, leaped into the midst of the Kachins, who were taken by surprise, and drove them out. The position was carried in brilliant style. Thirteen of the enemy were killed, while the British loss was two killed and six wounded. According to in- telligence telegraphed from Lashio under date the 4th inst., a party of 45 men. under Lieutenant French Mullen and the native officer Gopal Singh, went to Meungyin on the :2nd inst. They found the place occu- pied by 200 Kschins, who resisted the British force. They were, however, driven out with the loss of 11 killed. There were no casualties on the British side. One of the prettiest miscroscopical studies is the examination 0: the lungs of a. plant. Most people do not know a. plant has lungs, but it has ; and its lungs are in its leaves. Examined through a high power microscope every leaf will show thousands upon thou- sands of openings, infinitely sniall,of course, but each provided with lips, which, in many species, are continually opening and closing. These openings lead to tiny cavities in the body of the leaf, and by the opening and closing of the cavity air is con- tinually passing in and out, so that the act of respiration is continually going on. The sap of the plant is thus purified, just at the blood of an animal is cleared of impurities by passing through the lungs, and the average sized tree will‘ therefore, in the course of a day, do as much breathing as a man. Princess Margaret of Prussia was married standing on one of the most interesting bits of carpet in existence. This was worked by her mother, the Empress Frederick, and all her children knelt on it when they were confirmed. The present German Emperor, Prince Henry of Prussia, and the Princesses Charlotte, Sophia, and Victoria were mar. ried standing upon it, and it served a sad- der purpose when the coflin containing the remains of the late Emperor rested upon it. Should a history of interesting carpets be ever written, the Empress Frederick’s carpet should have an honored place in the record. A curious inordent has been noticed in con- nection with the brass condenser-tubes of a foreign cruiser. The pipes, after being in use for more than 12 months, were found to have experienced a peculiar change. In many places the metal had been. it appears, con. verted into almost pure copper of a. spongy texture, the zinc of the alloy having com- pletely disappeared. An investigation which was made showed the probable cause of the failure to have been an electrolytic action between the tin lining of the tubes and the brass, the sea. water circulating through the condenser forming the electron lyte. Had the tin coating remained perfect doubtless no corrosion would have resulted but the mud, and grit conveyed in suspen- 51011 through the condenser carried away the tin coating in spots, and it was at these points that the transformation of the metal occurred. It is concluded that if the pipes had not been tinned at all they would have Lremained intact. A Curious Transformation of Brass. More Fighting in Burmah: Murdered by a Boy. In IS§6, largely through the efforts of Mr. Ritchie, valuable deposits of coppe? and iron in Canada were brought to light and several wealthy Cleveland capitalism were induced to become interested in the project. Two companies were formed- One was called the Canadian Co per Com- pany and proceeded to develop t e rich den posits of copper and nickel at budburyg Ontario, a. town on the Canadian Pacific. railway some ‘200 miles east of Sault Ste.- Marie. The other corporation was the Anglo-American Iron Company, which operated iron mines near Picton, Ontario, in _t_he_ Lathe Ontario region: Mr. s. J.

Adespatch from Cleveland, says zâ€"The entry of dismissal ordered by Judge Ha,“ chins on Monday in Common Pleas Court 11! the cases brought by Samuel J. Ritflifi 0‘ Akron against the Canadian Copper Com' pany and the Anglo-American Iron Com- pany practically ends litigation that started on a. very extensive basxs. _ , L The leading capitalists in these companies were H. B. Payne, Stevenson Burke and C. \V. Bingham, of Cleveland, and the late T. \V. Cornell, of Akron. Mr. Ritchie at first held one-fifth of the capital stock in these corporations, but falling into financial diificulties he lost this stock. Just how he last this stock is a. leading question, and the dismissal of the suits prevents any light on the subject. Mr. Ritchie made charges of various kinds and entered suit against other members of the companies. Under the law a. stockholder of any corporation holding one-fifth or more of the capital stock has the right to petition the court for a. dissolu- tion of the company. This was what Mr. Ritchie did, but his attorneys, recognizing that he no longer held the requisite amount- of stock, allowed the case to be dismissed. These suits involved a. very large amount of money, running into the hundreds oi thousands. nected with the two companies the-other stockholders were brought in as defendants, so that litigation seems almost endless. However. when all legal entanglements are swept aside, as Judge Burke, who never stops until he wins, declares they soon shall he. the companies will have two fine prop. ert-ies in an almosn unoccupied field to reward them for their vlarimr invesbments . There are still pending in the United States court two suits against Mr. Ritchie, brought by James B. and George W.

Natural gas in used for fuel in the manufactory and it was due to carelessness that the accident happen- ed. Four persons were seriosly injured and one probably fatally. Natural gas is used in the furnaces. Owing to the change in the weather the moisture in gas pipes and meter occasioned considerable trouble and while flushing the regulator quantities of gas escap~ ed into the factory. It. was thought that all the burners in the retorts had been extin- guished, but such proved not to be the case and suddenly, Without warning, 8. terrible explosion occurred.

His hair was all burned 08 and his eyes and features were swollen up to twice their usual size. It is feared he cannnot recover. His arms up to the elbows are a mass of blisters. Utt, the engineer, escaped with the lightest injur- ies. Belford and the boy Fraser, are con- fined to bed to-day and are sutfering great agony. Mr. MeGlashenfs wife is with him and every effort is being made to save his life. The damage to the building, which is a large one, is quite extensive. It was lifted from the foundations and moved several feet. Every window was broken and the interior haniy wrecked. The plant cost over $75,000. It is thought, however, that the valuable machinery is not much injur- ed. Dr. Clark went to Humberstcne to- day and on his return reported the men as very seriously injured. The copper company is proving a. rich in- vestment for the stockholders, as the mines yield not only very good copper. but. also nickel. For many years the famous Calumet and Hecla mines on Lake Superior have been the greatest producers of copper in the world and made millions of dollars for the fortunate investors. W'ithin later years, however, the Anaconda mines around Anaconda and Butte, Mont., have been producing better than the Calumet. The Canadian Copper Company has entered into the field in a smaller way, but is making steady advances. The ore is first smelted to about 95 per cent. pure at the mines and then brought to this city, where it is refined at the company’s large works near mock- lyn. .. . . ~u . - an... ‘ â€"-when, 011! freak of fortune, the number of the very bond whose fate was in suspence came out for a. prize of £4000, The board ultimately ruled that as the number had come out; after the lady’s ofi‘er the latter would be entertained.
