 PipilWWP'Pi^^^HfS'J^W^ r 1 m HOUSEHOLD. Haw to Hare Good Steak. We like good steak, and I will tell you how we manage to get it in about twenty minutes after the me ia lighted on a cold wmter's mornine. We burn wood. If we didn't we would burn enough to have steak. The fire is lightened in the cook store, and as soon as the first few sticks of wood bum well down and the kettle is simmerins' two or three shovelfuls of charcoal are thrown in, and in five minutes we have the nicest bed of live coals one could wish for. The steak is thrown directly on the coals and is turned rapidly with a couple of long toasting forks till done to suit. It is very little cost and less trouble. Charcoal coats only from 15 to 25 cents per bushel, and a bushel lasts a long time for this purpose. One who has always eaten steak fried in lard in a skillet has yet ifi learn what good Canadian beef is. The average boarding- house cook has a peculiar rule for cooking steak. When she gets tip in the morning she puts a "lump of lard the size of a walnut in a cold skillet, puts the steak in on top of that, and another lump on the steak, puts the skillet on the stove, an d then lights the fire." If the fire were lighted first it would break the charm. If you will cook steak in a skillet have it (the skillet) smoking hot, put in the steak without any gretise, turn it five times the first ten seconds, and after that turn it often, and you will have a good fair steak; but not as good' as broiled on the coals. An Enjoyable Dinner. Boiled Leg of Muttox. â€" Let the mutton hang for a few days (or even a week, in cold weather) before cooking. At the end of that time cut off the hank bone and rub the meat, if necessary, with a clean cloth. Put it into a large saucepan of boliing water let it boil fast for two minutes, in order to harden the outside and°^6 retain all the juices then draw the pan on one side and allow the meat to gently simmer until sufficiently cooked. Fifteen minutes must be allowed for every pound and fifteen min- utes over. Some persons like small, whole turnips boiled in the liquor with the mut- ton, and arranged neatly round the edge of the dish for a garnish, while others prefer to have the meat served alone, accompanied by caper sauce. Caper Sauce. â€" Make half a pint of melted butter and stir in it two dessert-spoonfuls of finely chopped capers. T^ste the sauce, and if not sufficiently acid, add a dessert spoonful of vinegar. Stir the sauce for a few minutes over the fire, letting it simmer very gently, then serve in a sauce-boat. Potato mold is an exceedingly pretty dish and very easily made. Boil or steam the potatoes in the usual way, then mash them thoroughly with a little milk, butter, pep- per and salt press them firmly into a pretty mould which has been well greased then turn them out on a dish and place them either in the oven or before a hot fire for a few minutes to get prettily browned. This is a very dainty way of serving potatoes and makes a nice change from the ordinary mash- ed potatoes. Mashed Parsnips. â€" The parsnips require to be well washed and scraped if large, cut them in two or three pieces and put them into a saucepan of boiling water, slightly silted. Let them boil quickly un- til quite tender (they will require an hour or perhaps longer, according to their size and age) then remove them from the water, drain, and mash them, and press thcui through a sieve. Put the pulp into a clean saucepan with two or three table- spoonfuls of milk, or cream if it is to be had, and a small ball of biitter, about an ounce, well kneaded with flour. Stir the parsnips over the fire until the butter is entirely dissolved then turn them into a vegetable dish and serve at onee. Golden Pudding. â€" Chop half a pound of good beef suet very fine and put it into a bowl with four ounces flour, four ounces of sifted bread crumbs, a tablespoonful of sugar, the grated rind of three lemors, and a pinch of salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly then add three well-beaten eggs. If these are not sufficient to moisten the pudding, a little milk may be added, but the mixture must not be too moist or the i^udding will be heavy. Beat all brisk- ly for a few minutes then turn the prepar- ation into a buttered mold. Tie a strong pudding etoth over the top plunge the pudding into plenty of boiling water and keep it boiling fast for three hours. Turn it carefully out on a hot dish and serve with lemon sauce. Lemon Sauce. â€" Put the thin rind of a lemon and three tablespoonfuls of fine white sugar into a sauceiJan with half a pint of milk. Let these simmer gently for ten minutes then add the juice of the lemon and an ounce of butter rolled in flour. Stir until the butter is entirely dissolved then strain it into the sauceboat and serve. Some persons add a glass of wine. Good Enough to Kemsmber. To smooth out premature wrinkles, rub best clive oil into them at night on retiring. To remove the glossy appearance from coat collar and elbows, rub with a cloth dipped in warm water arid borax. A good cement to fasten on lamp tops is melted alum use as soon as melted, and lamp is ready for use as soon as the cement js cold. Cow's milk, one quart water, one pitit dilute hydrochloric acid, half a teaspoon- ful mix and boil. The resulting curds are soft and fine as from human milk. To laundry shirts to eive the fine gloss to the bosoms, take of white wax one ounce, spermaceti two ounces, melt them together with a gentle heat. When you hav^ pre- pared a sufficient amount of starch, in the usual way, for a dozen pieces, put into it a piece of the polish about the size of a large pea, using more or less, according to large or small washings. Or thick gum so- lution (made by pouring boiling water upon gum arable) may be used. One tablespoon- nil to a pint of starch gives clothes a beauti- ful gloss. Imitation Is sometimes called the sincere form of flat- tery. This may account for the number of imitations df the original and only positive com cure â€" ^Putnam's Painless Com Extract- or.

" I desiah to denounce to dis assem- blaige," said Brother Gardner as the meet- ing opened, '" dat de Hon. Skyfustas Bil- lington, of New Orleans, am in de aon^- room, an' am waitin' to address ns on de subjeck df ' Riches vs. Happiness.' De Hon. SkyfoBtus has addressed ns befo' an' it am needless to 'splain to you dat he knows de bizness of oratory as well as a boss doctor knows what ails a sick mule. He am rich in wisdom, 'speiieneed in ihil- osophy, an' hutrabbled mo' miles on frei^t trains dan any odder orator in de world. Doorin' his address I desiah de silentest quietness. Any pnsson found guilty of frowing shucks around will be sot down on wid terrible aimestnes befo' de lodge closes. De Recepshun Committee will now escort de jgem'lanin." The committee left the hall for that pur- pose, and soon reappeared in company witl) the visitor. While he was taking a drink of water and removing his necktie, collar and suspenders, the brethren had a pretty good look at him. He sized up two stories and a basement, about 45 years old, knees rather out of true, feet which wouldn't rat- tle around any in a pair of No. 123, and a mouth built on purpose for pumpkin pie. He ^^owed right and left to all acquaintances, ascended the platform with a skip, and at once began " My frens, what am riches You can't tell me. I see byde blank 'spreshuns on your faces dat you can't. Riches, my frens, consists in being rich. If you am rich you hain't poor. If you am poor you hain't, rich. Dat's been my 'sperience fur de last fifty y'ars, an' while it has cost me a good deal of money I am willin' to gin it to you fur nuffin.' [Suppressed excitement over getting something' for nothing.] We hev seberalmenin dis kentry worth more 'n $20,- 000. Dey wallow in riches, but what about deir happiness Dar must be some conso- lashun in bein' able to walk into a grocery an' tell de grocer to send up fifty pounds of bakin' powder an' a millyon clothes pins, but does dat rich mogul sleep any sounder dat night den de man who has drank six- teen cent tea for supper Of co'se he don't Like 'nuflfhe dreams of dem werry millyon clothespins, an' in his dreams he am a tow- el on a clothesline an ebery pin am tryin' to stick him fast. {Grunts of satisfaction from all over the hall.] " My frens," continued the speaker, as he began to warm up to his work, " de rich man walks on welwet ca'pets, an he sots down on stuffed cheers, an' he has Saratoga 'taters ebery meal. He jist rolls in ham an' eggs, an' he walks all ober fricasseed chicken. De poo' man walks on a bar' floo,' sots on a hard cheer, an' his taters am biled wid the hides on. Yet who am de happi- est? You will say de rich man, of co'se, but dat's whar' yer toes turn in.' When night comes de poo' man has no fear o' burglars de noosepapeys hain't gwine ter pitch inter him in de mawnin his wife hain't gwine to 'lope oS" wid anybody; his son am not gwine ter be 'spelled from college. He jist sits dar an' eats snow apples an' popco'n, an' contentment drips all ober him. [Sensation, during which Elder Toots became excited and yelled " fire " at the top of his voice.] "De rich man w'ars broadcloth I" con- tinued the orator after getting away with another drink, " an ' he rides in his keer- idge, an' he goes to de opera. You envy him, but what poo' fules you am All de time he am doin' dis he am 'spectin' dat de small-pox will break out in his fam'ly an' take ebery one of 'em off. De poo' man goes afoot, w'ars plain woUen, and he doan' know what de inside of an opera house looks like. As a reward he nebber has de small- pox nor dipthyria. [Chuckles of satisfac- tion, during which a raw potato hit Samuel Shin in the neck.] "On ebery hand you h'ar de 'spreshun ' Poo ' but honest. ' Nobody eber says ' Rich but honest.' It am only poo' folkses who lib from hand to mouth who am honest. Ebery honest sentiment in de human breast teaches us to be poo' When your ole" woman, dressed in kaliker an' w'arin' her last summer's hat, sees a rich lady sailin' past her, harnessed up in silks an' diamonds an' sealskin, she may fur a moment feel envious. But, my frens, when she comes to refleck dat rich women hev to w'ar shoes one size too small, an' stockings wid stripes all up an' down de legs, an' hev dress- makers an' ha'r-dressers an' gin balls an' parties, she feels to pity 'em wid all her noble heart. [Great applause and one hiss, the latter coming from Whalebone Howker, who will get hail Columbia at the next meeting. " If I was axed to adwise a young man," said the orator as he straightened out his left leg to clear it of a cramp, "I should warn him agin strugglin' fur too much wealth. It stings like an adder an bites like a sarpint. Riches am de cause of jealousies, envy, an' crimes of all sorts. Dar' can't be no Comfort fur de rich man. He am worried about his cloze his bosses run away his coachman 'lopes off wid his darter de bank in which he has got his money am sartin to bust. After ne has suffered an' suffered, 'long comes death an' takes him away, an' no sooner am he buried dan his body am stolen by a medical col- lege. [Applause.] All de poo' man has to do am to get in his meat an' taters an' wood fur de winter, buy cloze fur de ole woman an' de chill'en, lay in ten barls of apples an' two of cider, pay up his debts, put a $50 bill in his west pocket an' pureed to take solid comfort an' happiness. [Cries of 'Yum Yum ' Sickness wiU not come to him â€" tnibble will pass him by, an' he will be nominated fur Alderman in de spring. "If dar' am any men in dis club who sighs fur riches he am de subjict of my pity. I warn you in my mo^t solemn tones to quit dat sighing. True happiness am wuth mo' dan all de gold eber dug from airth. " Gem'len, I had intended to incloode de Garden of Paradise in my reyiarks, an' to bring in de Pyramids, Christopher Colum- bus an' George Washington, out de hour am late an' I must elongate dis oratory to a prolongated quietus. Wishin' yon all pos- sible health an' happiness, I will now de- terininate my desideratum an' bid yoa fare- well." IT WAS VOTED. When the orator had retired Waydown Bebee moved a vote of thanks. The Rev. Penstock objected. He said the theory of the speaker was all wrong, and that his command of the Kngfinh lan- guage scarcely entilied him to appear en the front platform of a street ear. Nevertheless, upon a vote being taken, the thanks of the club were extended by a large majority, and the meeting then ad- jonmed. QEHEBAL SEWS.

Determined to kill it, the man handled the four cords of wood four time. Then the mink, growing tired of dodging from one pile of wood to another, ran away. Near Hawkinsville, Ga., recently, a cow with crumpled horns was licking her calf, and by some means the calf got its head in the circle of the horns and could not get away. The cow became excited, and, in her efforts to get rid of the calf, strangled it and broke her own neck; Mr. Green lived in Franklin county, Ala., and one night revenue officers stopped at nis house to gets lights for their cigars. Then they made a successful raid, and the moon- shiners were so certain that Green had be- trayed them that soon after he was called to his door in the evening and shot down. 1^ Mlâ€" " â- â-  Tbe Beauty of Woman is her crown of glory.
