When tile celebrated philanthropist, Florence Nightingale, was a little girl living in Derbyshire, England, everybody was struck witli her thoughtfulness for people and animals. She even made friends with titeshy squirrels. When persons were ill site would help nurse them, saving nice things from her own meals for them. There lived near the village an old shepherd named Roger, who had a favorite sheep .og called Cap. This deg was the old man's only companion, and helped in looking after the flock oy day and keep him company at night. Cup was a very sensible dog, and kept the sheep in such order that he saved liis master a deal of trouble. One day Florence was riding out with a friend, and saw the shepherd giving the sheep tiieir night feed; but Cap was not there, and the sheep knew it, for they were scampering about in all directions. Florence and her friend stopped to ask Roger why he was so sad. and wiiat had become of his dog. "O.” he replied, ’ Cap will never be of any more use to me. I’ll have to hang him, poor fellow, as soon ns I go home to-night.” "Hang him! ’ said Florence. “O Roger! how wicked of you. What has old Cap done?” ”lle lias done nothing,” replied Roger. ‘ but he will never be of any more use to me, and I cannot afford to keep him. One of the mischievous school boys threw a stone at hint yesterday, and broke one of his leg3.” And the old shepherd wiped away the tears that filled his eyes. “Poor Cap,” he said, “he was as knowing as a human being." “But are you sure his leg is broken?” asked Florence. “0 yes, miss, it is broken, sure enough; he lias not put his foot to the ground since.” “We will go and see poor Cap," said the gentleman. "I don’t believe the leg is really broken. It would take a big stone and a hard blow to break the leg of a great dog like Cap.” “O if I could but cure him, how glad Roger would be!” exclaimed Florence. When they got in the cottage the poor dog lay there on the bare brick floor, bis hair dishevelled, and liis eyes sparkling with anger at the intruders. But when the little girl called him "poor Cap" he grew pacilied, and began to wag his short tail; then lie crept from under the table and lay down at her feet. She took hold of his paws, patted his head, and talked to him while the gentleman examined his injured leg. It was badly swollen, and hurt bun verv much to have it examined; but the dog knew it was meant kindly, and though he moaned and winced with pain, lie licked the hands that were hurting him. “It’s only a bad bruise; no bones broken.” said the gentleman; “rest is all Cap needs; he will soon be well again.” “I am so glad!” exclaimed Florence. “But can we do nothing for him? He seems in such pain.” "Plenty of liot water to foment the part would both ease and help to cure him.” ’ Well, then,” said the little girl, "I will foment Cap’s leg.” Florence lighted the fire, tore up an old flannel petticoat into strips, which she wrung • nit in hot water and laid on the poor dog’s bruise. It was not long before he began to feel the benefit of the applications, and to show liis gratitude in looks' and wagging his tail. On their way home they met the shepherd coming slowly along with a piece of* rope in his hand. “O, Roger!" cried Florence, “yon are not to hang poor old Cap. We have found that his leg is not broken, after all.” “No, he will serve you yet,” said the gentleman. “Well, I am most glad to hear It,” said the old man, “and many thanks to you forgoing to see him." The next morning Florence was up early to batlieCap. On visiting the dog she found t lie swelling much gone down. She bathed jt again, and Cap was as grateful as before. Two or three days Inter, when Florence find her friend were riding together, they

came up to Roger and his sheep. Cap was there, 100, watching the sheep. When he heard the voice of the little girl his tail wagged and his eyes sparkled. “Do look at the dog, miss,” said the shepherd, “he’s so pleased to hear your voice. But for you, 1 would have hanged the best dog I ever had in my life.” This is quite a true story. It happened riiany years ago, and is now told with pleasure of that lady who in later years grew up to be the kind, brave woman, who nursed so many soldiers through the Crimean war, and lias done so many oilier things for the poor and suffering wherever she could. A Brave Little Dangliter. There is a very pretty story told by Miss Strickland in her “Queens of England,” of a little girl who saved her father’s life. It was in the time of Queen Mary, and Lord Preston, the father of the cliiid, was condemned to death for conspiring to bring back the exiled King James to the throne. Her name was Lady Catharine Graham, and she was only nine years old. The poor child was (during the trial of her fattier) left in file Queen’s apartments in Windsor Castle. The day after the condemnation of Lord Preston, the Queen found little Lady Catharine in St. George’s gallery. gazing earnestly oil the whole-length picture of James 11, which still remains there. Struck with the mournful expression on the young girl’s face, Mary asked her hastily what she saw in that picture which made her look on it so particultirly. “I was thinking,” said the innocent child, “how hard it is that my father must die for loving yours.” The Queen, pricked in conscience by this artless reply, immediately signed the pardon of Lord Preston. President Lincoln’s Dream. Nashville Liberal. It is not generally known that President Lincoln once dreamed that he would be assassinated. While lie was neither a professor of religion nor even fixed in his belief in one particular creed, still lie was fond of reading and discussing tite Bible. On Sunday evenings he invariably read a chapter or two from the Scriptures, and then gave his explanation of it. One evening at the White House he read several passages both from the Old and New Testaments relating to dreams, to which Mrs. Lincoln and the children gave great attention. He began to chat with them on tiie subject of dreams, and said he had been haunted for some days by a dream lie had had. Os course they all wanted him to tell it, though Mrs. Lincoln said she didn't believe in dreams in the least, and was astonished at him. So he proceeded to tell it. “About ten days ago 1 retired one night quite late. I had been up waiting for important dispatches from tiie front, and could not have been long in bed when I fell into slumber, for I was very weary. During my slumber I began to dream. I thought there was a stillness about me, and I heard weeping. I thought that I got up and wandered down stairs The same stillness was there. As I went from room to room I heard moaning and weening. At length I came to the end room, which I entered, and there before me was a magnificent dais on which was a corpse. Here there were sentries and a crowd of people. I said to one of the soldiers: ‘Who is dead at the White House?’ He answered: ‘Tiie President.' How did he die? I asked. ‘By the hand of an assassin,’ was the reply. Then I heard a great wailing all over the house, and it was so loud it seemed to awaken me. I awoke much depressed and slept no more that night. Such was my dream.” From that time until his sad death Mr. Lincoln was haunted by the fear of assassination, ami Mrs. Lincoln’s first words after Wilkes Booth had shot him on April 14 were: “His dream was prophetic.” The remark was not understood then, but when the story of his dream was subsequently told it was explained.

The Present Americau Stag;©. Gath, in Cincinnati Enquirer. The stage is organized in this country on a mereiy mercenary basis, with scarcely any reference to national influence or artistic culture, The man who can make money by acting wants it all, and wants it all at once. Edwin Booth. I think, has not a single original part. Forrest did have several native pieces, which he played to the end of his days—such as “Jack Cade,” “The Gladiator” and “Metamora.” An imported and false prejudice has often declaimed against these pieces, but they have in them the beginning of a national drama. Our stage at present is a good deal like our nation, exclusively absorbed in making money. Therefore Europe is ransacked for every new sensation, good or bad. For a while the taste runs on French plays, with moral leprosy in them. Next it runs on London sensations, of the gypsy and slum kind. Then for a while it will run on adaptations from the German, of the burlesqne sort. Some managers are always on the lookout for operas. There is but little to be made of the whole concern except some high organized smartness, little or no length of cultivation, hardly any earnest purpose, and money got by any means whatever. To such a stage the British actor and manager may well be a lesson. Hot Water for Consumptives. Chambers’ Journal. My friend finally abandoned medicine of all kinds, and continued a nourishing diet only. About ten weeks ago her attention was directed to a newspaper paragraph recommending hot Water as a remedy for consumption. Feeling that little harm could ensue from its use, she determined to test it. At the moment of retiring a large tumbler of hot water, itt which the juice of a lerr.on had been mixed to free it from nausea, was taken. In a few moments a glow of warmth would pervade the lungs, che3t, etc., quickly followed by the most refreshing sleep, which would be unbroken bv any cough, and the patient would awake in tite morning rested and strengthened. A few days ago she was seized with a fit of coughing, during which was coughed tip into her month a small stone about the size of a pea—formed of sulphate of lime, I believe, and usually considered a symptom of the healing of a cavity in the lung. Whether this marked improvement was due to the use of the water I cannot say; but its beneficial influence in securing sweet sleep and exemption from coughing at night was so marked that I wojild like some of your readers to test it. Gastronomic Novelties. New York Evening Post. Frozen soft crabs are anew venture. Few persons can discover any difference between these and those fresh caught. Titey are frozen in boxes that hold one dozen, and sell for $2 a dozen. A novel feature in the fish market is a fish called lange, and in Maine togue. It is a variety of salmon-trout, weighing from one to three pounds, having much of the flavor of brook trout Chicken halibut, weighing from three to six pounds, caught off Nantucket, is the novelty of the fish market this week. This fish so resembles English turbot that it is called American turbot. It sells for twentyfive cents a pound. The Reason Why. New York Grapkio. Why do not more American boys learn trades? One reason is that trades unions don't favor apprentices. Another reason is, that there are not so many trades to learn as forty years ago. Boys may learn parts 6f trades,#the stitching of a shoe or the manipulation of some machine on wood or iron where mechanical appliance supplies the place of brains. So much as is required can be learned in a few weeks or months, and if the boy is cast off, another is soon able to take his place.

TIIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1883.

THE RESULTS OF FREE TRADE. Wretched Condition of English Working Classes as Seen by Judge William 1). Kelly, of Philadelphia. Report of Speech ut Citizens' Reception. Emerging as I do from the dark shadow in which I walked for months, this meeting warms my blood with the fire of youth. My first duty is to acknowledge the goodness and mercy which has again brought me the opportunity to labor in the cause of my country as I was taught to do by my venerable preceptor Henry C. Carey. 1 have been away from you nearly five months, most of the time in London, where I could meet no one but my own family. Yet all the best voices in England came tome daily. In the morning the best journals, without regard to party, and in the evening, tiie evening papers, were my constant companions, and thus I peered into every workshop on the island and on the continent, and saw tiie workman at his task through British eyes. In summing tip, I could say nothing better than that which sixty years ago was written there, and repeat that England now, as then, lias not that freedom “which is clothes and fire anil food for the toiling multitude.” There is no animal of so little value there to-day as a full grown man or woman with a heavy appetite and a small purse. For sheep or ox or other beast there is use and need, but for man or woman the scale turns, and England will pay any land that will receive them from her. Assisted emigration is what they call this human exportation. Y'ou find tiie English pleading with every grade of working people to leave a country which call give no sustenance to them, and this is the condition of free-trade England to-day. Os course, this condition is not due to free trade alone, nor are our Own blessings all due to protection, but free trade is tire controlling factor in England’s government. She has been preaching it for thirty years, and urging all other countries to adopt it. We did try it under the Democrats, who, after the tariff of 1842, in 1846 gave us a tariff which left us in no better condition to pay Buchnnan his salary than we were to pay Van Buren’s salary in 1840. There was no progress other than downward in those fifty years of free trade. In 1841 a bankrupt law was enacted to give relief, but our banks would fail, as some of us can remember, and all business had to be conducted with shinplasfers, issued by barbers and bar-keepers. While free trade prevailed we imported iron to lay to our ore beds; imported iron to haul coal to our works; started steel works, and ran them till the price was put down on the other side, and they went up. Then England was the unquestioned workshop of the world and mistress of the seas. Her march was onward, and gold discoveries in Australia and in California gave her all the advantages the world derived front precious metals, to place to the credit to her rostrum of free trade. She has now had forty years of it, and we have had twenty-one years of protection. She is today showing the results. While I was in London one of the great shipping firms announced its retirement from the trade, and the reason was simply that the carrying capacity of England’s ships is greater than the demand. They are praying for war, that the government may need some of their vessels as transports for troops. Their capital in ships don’t pay them, except in the great litres running to and from New York. And there is no country in which England enforces her commercial policy that is successful. India, with her 200,000,000 of British subjects, is a constant prey to famine. She cannot protect her industries. England takes from her her tribute in internal taxes, a system of raising money which in this country I have done and will do my best to overthrow. The Indian takes fish from the river to furnish him with food, but to preserve it he must pay a tax of 700 per cent, on salt. Under that system the fish rot and engender famine and disease, and so it is in other places. England no sooner gets a colony tuati she deprives it of power to purchase, and it furnishes no market for English goods, which her merchants must sell as well as produce. When the colonies get the power in their own hands they follow the example of the United States and put on a protective tariff which shuts England out. I saw life in the manufacturing districts there that would move, you to tears. Some persons charged that my friend, Robert Rorter, had misstated it, and I saw him denounced as a slanderer and falsifier. I tried to see for myself, to find out whether be was right or not, and I spent ten days in visiting towns near it. The great business of wives and mothers and girls over fourteen yeurs of age, seemed to be making nails, and around the little smithies I saw many a miserable family working. They must carry the rods of iron to the forges, must pay rent and fuel, and then can scarce earn $1.25 a week out of which to pay these ex (tenses. They are left, after all is paid, nearly $f a week for their wearing toil. These are the blessings of free trade, and this the starvation which Shelley pictured years ago. At Radley the work is different. They don’t make nails; they make chains. There are also there women laboring in tire brickyards, who are the envy of the whole countryside. They mould aud carry the heavy bricks, make as high as six shillings a week and have steady work. I saw Manchester and Sheffield, with similar sights surrounding, and nowhere did I see a place where Mr. Porter had told even the whole truth. In Wales women earned six shillings by loading coal and unloading it at the barges. Wesaw them acting as stokers and pitching heavy plates of iron, anil all for the same pittance. I put the question of wages to them again and again, and found the rates for women’s work ranging from $1 to $3.25. No one claimed that it was higher. Now what is our condition. In 1860 we were in control of the party which now asks to control us again, the party which had. impoverished the people, brought about a condition of affairs that paralyzed capital and sent workingmen out of the country to get employment. Under the Republican party we have grown ns England never did. We now make better iron and steel, better books, even to the art work and the quality of paper in them, than we can import. Tire same edition of books can be bought cheaper here than across the sea. Ladies’ habit cloth anil some kinds of gentlemen’s dress goods are cheaper in England, nut for ordinary business wear, quality for quality, American goods are cheaper than the English. I shall have to ask some of you to work out the cause of the tariff. I feel that lam making my last campaign. Would that I could do two or three years’ more work, for I feel that I would like to devote my time more than ever to impress my young countrymen with tiie fact that the tariff can help our nation’s progress, allowing mothers to devote to their homes the time that, in England, they spend at the mines and forge. How to Cleanse the Waste-Pipes. Scientific American. One of the most frequent and trying annoyances of house-keeping, as many can testify, and which a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger freely asserts, is the obstruction to the free, quiet outlet of the waste-water of the wash-stand, the bath-tub and the kitchen sink. This is cuused by a gradual accumulation of small bits of refuse material, paper, rags, meat, bones, or other offal, which check and finally entirely stop the overflow of the waste water, and then the plumber is called to remove the stoppage with his force pump. Sometimes this is effective, nt others tire offending waste-pipe is cut out and anew one put in its place at considerable cost. But the plumber is not always near at hand or free to come at one’s call, and the matter demands immediate attention. A simple, inexpensive method of clearing the pipe is as follows: Just before retiring at flight pour into tiie pipe enough liquid potash lye, of 36° strength, to fill the “trap,” as

it is called, or bent portion of the pipe just below the outlet. About a pint will suffice for a wasbstand or a quart for a bath-tub or kitchen sink. Be sure that no water runs into it till next morning. During the night the lye will convert all of the offal in the pipe into soft soap, and tire first current of water in the morning will remove it entirely and leave the pipe as clean as new. The writer has never had occasion, in ever thirty years’ experience, to make more than two applications of it in any one case. A remarkable example of the value of this process was that of a large drain pipe which carried off the waste of an extensive country house, near Philadelphia, and ran under a beautiful lawn in its front. A gallon of the lye removed all obstruction in a single night, and saved the necessity of digging up the pipe and disfiguring the greensward of the lawn, as the plumber intended, until advised of this process. The so-called potash lye sold in small tin cans in the shops is not recommended for this purpose. It is quite commonly misnamed, and is called caustic soda, which makes a hard soap. The lye should be kept in heavy glass bottles or demijohns, covered with wicker work, and plainly labeled; always under lcck when not in actual use. It does not act upon metals, and so does not corrode the pipes as do strong acids. FIGHT WITH A WOUNDED BUCK. Andrew Couch's Desperate Struggle with a Two-Hundred Pound Deer. Monticello Special to New York Tribuue. Old hunters agree in saying that they would rather meet and battle with any other wild animal in the woods than a wounded buck; and Andrew Couch, a famous hunter mid guide, of this county, is to-day more than ever convinced that the old hunters are right. Sportsmen of this place, who have just returned from a week’s hunt in the Black Lake region, relate au exciting adventure of the hunt. Couch is one of the most noted hunters and guides in the countv. He was engaged by the Monticello party to “drive” deer for them. They started two on the first day, but did not succeed in getting a shot. On the the second day Couch drove Big Hill for the hunters. The dogs started a buck in the afternoon and drove it toward Couch. As it came over the ridge through the scrub oak, the guide saw that it was an enormous buck, and desiring that the visiting sportsmen should have a shot at it, he discharged one barrel of hie gun a few feet in front of the deer, with the intention of turning it off in the direction of the other hunters, who were stationed in different “run-ways” on the ridge. The deer did not change its course, as Couch supposed it would, bnt turned and made directly toward him. He discharged his remaining barrel at the deer as it came bounding toward him, and it fell almost in its tracks. Couch ran to the spot and drew his knife to cut the deer’s throat, supposing that it was dead. As the hunter was bending over tiie deer it suddenly sprang to its feet, knocking Couch's knife from liis hand, and attacked him with fury, leaping in the air, and striking viciously at the hunter with its sharp hoofs. .Couck jumped quickly aside and escaped the full force of the deadly stroke of a wounded buck’s fore-foot. One of the feet, however, struck him on his left shoulder, spun him round like a top and cut through the sleeve of his heavy hunting-shirt from shoulder to wrist. Couch had his gun in his hand, but it was empty. Before the deer could gather itself for another attack, the hunter dealt it a powerful blow across the neck with the stock of the gun. The blow staggered the buck and shivered the gun to pieces. Recovering quickly, the buck sprang at Couch again, and planted both fore-feet on his shoulders, felling him to the ground. Knowledge of the great peril he was in lent agility to the hunter's movements, and before the buck could deal a blow upon his chest with its hoofs that would have doubtless been fatal, Couch regained his feet and instantly closed with the buck, shouting meanwhile to his companions for help. Couch believed that tiie deer had been mortally wounded by the rifle-bail, for the blood was flowing in a great stream from his breast, and he hoped that if he could himself hold out long enough and prevent the infuriated animal from striking him with its hoofs he would in a short time see it succumb. The bucks vitality, however, was wonderful, and it seemed as strong and fresh after a quarter of an hour’s wrestling among the scrub oak as it was at the beginning of the struggle. Couch had twice been beneath the deer’s fore feet and had received bao cuts and bruises. His clothing was nearly all torn from him and he was covered with blood and nearly exhausted. He felt that his only hope was either in the appearance of the other hunters on the scene or in some decisive movement of his own to get the better of the deer. He bed dropped his gun barrel when lie closed with the deer, but at last, in the course of the struggle, the spot where it lay was once more reached. By a quick movement he disengaged himself from the deer, and sprang for the weapon. He had scnrcely’secured it and risen to his feet before the buck was once more upon him. Couch raised the gun-barrel in the air and put all his remaining strength in the blow he dealt the deer. It struck the animal back of the antlers and felled it to the ground. The skull was crushed, and another blow ended the contest. Couch tlren dropped to the ground from sheer exhaustion. The other hunters, not having heard anything from Couch after liis two shots, came upon the scene in about half an hour to see what the result had been. They found Couch and the deer lying side by side. The hunter was not seriously hurt, but was badly cut and bruised. Tiie deer was the largest that- has been killed in Sullivan county iu many years, ft weighed 210 pounds. Mme. Mocljeska’s Michigan Corsets. .Jackson Citizen. The Jackson company have turned out two “Duplex” corsets for Madame Helen Moiljeska, Countes9 Bozenta, which are withoutdoubt the finest pieces of work of the kind ever produced in Michigan, ia the United States, or any other country, and cost a fabulous amount. One is ot light, transparent, fine silk bolting cloth, and, with all its beautiful silk embroidery and point-lace trimming, weighs only five and a half ounces, with thesteels, bones, eylets and buckles all included. The other is of creamcolored satin, lined with white satin, heavily “fanned” and embroidered with white silk; rich point, lace encircles the bust, and across tire waist in front, “Modjeska,” in the form of letters which heads her show bills, is heavily embroidered in white silk. Upon the lighter corset the name in the same place and style of letters is hand-painted. They are inclosed in silk-lined boxes, with the autograph of the Countess on the inside cover. Tiie Germ of Egyptian Cholera, Pali Mall Gazette, October 15. Prince Bismarck has received the report of tire German commission which went to Egypt to inquire into the outbreak of cholera there. Dr. Koch, the biologist, who was tire first to report upon tiie bacillus of consumption, has sent home a comprehensive statement, according to which he has found that cholera is due to a living microscopic organism of a thread-like character, resembling what is seen in phthssis. Tire learned Professor and his colleagues have asked to be allowed to continue their researches in India, where tin- conditions for the production of the bacillus, its communicability to other animals, and the diffusion of its forma are still , more favorable than in Egypt. The Chancellor has assented to this proposal.

A FEMALE HUSBAND. Frank Dubois Says lie Is a Woman, and Her Name Is Mrs, Hudson. Brandon (Wis.) Special. The question of the sex of Frank Dubois, the female husband of the Waupun young lady, has been settled, and all doubt at rest by a statement made to a reporter, the latter succeeding in tracing the couple from Waupun to Brandon, where Dubois had proceeded to avoid arrest, and finally followed them seven miles into the country, where they had taken refuge at the house of a farmer named Briston, living on the Fond du Lac road. There Dnbois was found and questioned, and finally acknowledged himself to be a woman,- the wife of S. J. Hudson, of Belvidere. The woman known as his wife is apparently about seventeen years old, about Dubois’s height, and is rather a pretty blonde, with diyk hair. She was in tears, and apparently greatly distressed when the question of her husband's sex was mentioned. Dubois was uneasy, and cast nervons glances toward the door, and twisted in apparent mental agony. "Mr. Dubois, you, of course, know the stories which have been circulated concerning you?” "I do,” hesitatingly, and in a voice which could not be mistaken for a man’s. “You are married to Gertrude Fuller, are you not?” “I am. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H. L. Morrison, in Waupun.” "You insist that you are a man?” “I do; I am. As long as ray wife is satisfied it’s nobody’s business.” “Mr. Dubois, you look like a woman, act like a woman, and there are dozens of reasons to suppose you are not Frank Dubois, but Mrs. Hudson, a woman. Do you refuse to reveal yourself?” “There is nothing to reveal.” “If you are caught in this disguise you will be arrested. You should place yourself in your proper light at once, and thus avoid puniabmen t.” “Oh, Frank, for God’s sake tell all and have it over,” at this moment exclaimed the young and pretty wife, tears streaming down her face. Dubois looked toward her, his lip trembled, and he burst into teurs, sobs choking him for a time. Finally he said, “It’s true,” and endeavored to leave the room. He was restrained, and finally was induced to tell his story. He said he was really Mrs. Hudson, and had tired of husband and family, and determined to lose all identity as the wife and mother by assuming the guise of a man. “My husband,” she said, “went to Illinois last spring. I immediately assumed male attire and went to Waupun, where I had previously met and admired Gertie Fuller. I courted her, and we were married, she not knowing me to be a woman until the night after the ceremony was performed. I then induced her to keep silent, which she has done. “While living with my husband I helped him to support the family, peddling soaps and compounding extracts, which I disposed of. I was thus led to depend upon myself, and when I took upon my shoulders thestipport of Gertie I felt fully able to carry the burden. I papered, painted, made and sold extracts, and we were happy. We were preparing to move to Elgin, 111., when my husband came upon the scene.” Mrs. Dubois, or, more properly, Gertie Fuller, appeared utterly heart-broken, sobbing continually during the recital of the story. She, however, confirmed tire statements. She said, when questioned, that her parents resided in Waupun, where her father and brother were engaged in the nursery business. She had married Frank Dubois, or Mrs. Hudson, and had on the night of the marriage discovered that her husband was of her own sex. They had agreed to live together and had done so. It was an affair of their own, and nobody was concerned but herself. Notwithstanding the apparent frankness of the statement made by both parties, there is evidently something concealed, and which they will not make public except when compelled so to do by the strong arm of the law. Mrs. Hudson, the husband, wields a powerful influence over the young girl who is wedded but not a wife—an influence far more powerful than would be possible for one woman to wield over another, unless ties more strong bound them together than those so far known to be existing between the Hudson woman and Gertrude Fuller.

Recipe*. Baked English Plum Pudding. —Pour enough scalded milk on half a pound of bread crumbs to soften them; when cool add a quarter of a pound of suet, half a pound of sugar, four eggs,one cup of flour,half a pound of raisins, stoned and chopped and well dredged with flour; half a pound of currants, one quarter pound of citron. Stir well together. If too stiff add more milk. Grate one nutmeg, add a tablespoonful of cloves and cinnamon and a gill of brandy. Bake two hours in a steady oven. Apple Pudding. —A delicious apple pudding, to be served hot, is made thus: Peel and quarter enough apples to cover the bottom of a deep tin plate. Then make a batter of sour milk, soda and flour, with a tablespoonful of lard to enough flour to make a batter which will cover the apples. This should not be thicker than for pancakes. Pour it over the apples and bake till brown. Then, when done, turn it on a large plate, with the crust down. Over the apples scatter sugar aud cinnamon. If you like it rich spread a thin layer of butter over the apples before putting on the sugar and cinnamon. Chicken Patties. —Chicken patties, which are a delight to the eyes and stomachs of the children, are made by picking the meat from a cold chicken and cutting it in small pieces. Put it in a saucepan with a little water or milk, butter, pepper and salt. Thicken with a little flour and with the yolk of one egg. Line some patty-pans with crust, not rich yet not tough; rub them over with the white of the egg and bake. When done, fill with the chicken and send to the table hot. Cut out round cakes of the crust for the tops of the little pies, and bake on a common baking tin. It is very little trouble to do this, and the pleasure afforded each child by having a little chicken pie of his own amply pays the right-minded cook. Chow-Chow.— To make chow-chow, take two large cauliflowers, two quarts of green peppers, three quarts of green tomatoes, three quarts of green cucumbers, three quarts of small onions sliced about half an inch thicli, sprinkle with salt, alternate layers of onions, cucumbers and tomatoes. Boil the cauliflower over night until tender; then drain all free from water and put into jars, making a seasoning as follows: Take one pound of mustard seed, .white; one-half pound of allspice, whole; one-half pound of whole black pepper, one pint of beef brine. One gallon of vinegar, one-half teaspoonful of curry powder. Boil these ingredients fast for a quarter of an hour and then pour them over the vegetables. If too thick add vinegar. Mix the mustard with the vinegar, put tiie spices in a bag closely tied. Mustard and spices must boil together in the vinegar. Ad Kccentric Fancy. One of the oddest fancies ever conceived almost bnt not quite found expression recently in Paris, where an ingenious woman made preparations for opening a case of hunchbacks of every nation. Her plan was to secure waiters and waitresses afflicted with that deformity and to carry out tite central idea in hunchbacked furniture, decorations, china and gias-;. In order to secure the custom of hunchbacks she inserted advertisements in the papers inviting people thus niissbnpen to a free repast on the opening day. But after she had hired premises on the Boulevard des Capucines at a rental of 35.000 francs per annum, a disheartening lack of applicants possessing the one essen-

tial qualification compelled her to abandon ' the project and her landlord was forced to bringa suit for his rent. Cut the leg on a cotton stocking, above the broken heel, and hem •it around, and you will have a good pair of over-sleeves that may he drawn on tiie arms to protect the sleeves when cooking, washing dishes, etc. How many a home lias been robbed of sunshine and happiness, and rendered sad and desolate, by the less or some dear and petted child. This is a dangerous season for children, and parents should keep Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup handy. Price, 25 cents. • railway time table.
