It atounds in realistic incidents in which electricity plays an important part. The production in this city will to identical with that in the metropolis. The songs sung in the “The Tide of Life” are all new, and will to heard for the first time in this play. The music all has a catchy swing, and the words are funny.

If you do not see the “Tide of Life” at the opera house on Friday, January 16, you will miss the most extraordinary offering in the way of realistic drama that has ever been presented in Decatur. Electrocution of a villain on a live wire is the most daring thing in stage mechanism ever conceived by a playwright.

A ham is greatly improved if. after being boiled, it is wrapped in buttered paper and baked for an hour. In making sauces always dissolve the butter in the saucepan, add the flour first and after that the water or stock. A mingling of clove and lemon flavors In tlie afternoon tea is delightful. Drop a whole clove in each cup just before serving. In taking a pie with a meringue from the oven, if it is left in the warm kitchen the meringue will remain fluffy, but if taken into the cold it falls. If turnips are parboiled twenty minutes in water to which a little baking soda has been added and then this water is thrown off and fresh water used to finish cooking, they will cook more tender and be of much better flavor.
