A large, light, airy trimming hall in the etraw works of Cushing & Co., Milford, Aiass., wnere nuy nimoie-nngereu giru sav i nn - s i ü -i . i.. trimming hats in black, white and fancy I traws, which are piled up before each on the jong, low aesKs. llalf of the girls are natives of 3IiIford. Pretty, lady-like and well-dressed, they have little of the air and manner of the traditional shop girl. Most of them have pleasant homes, but prefer to earn their vwu wuuey. Lottie Kichards, a High bcool graduate six months as:o. pretty, piquant and mis-chief-loving, comes from the office with a dozen dainty white lace straw hats labeled ''Artist,'' and takes her seat amid the clique of w hich she is an important factor. "Aren't the&e lovely, nobby, something like artist's hats? Those rough and ready w - m m I ones in green, yellow and brown straw hats that we trimmed yesterday were horrors, I should think they would give an artist the nightmare to look at them, much less to wear uiem. "Ob, my I they aretosweet foranything!" exclaimed Ella Moore, perching one on her brown head. Tho artist who wears this ought to be tall and handsome, with long nuwiug umr, sun,, urcauij ejes, iuo w mostache, and white, slender hands." "If he's much of an artist he'll have hard work to keep them white," laughed Julia Banks, who had dabbed some in crayon .and water colors. "Mr. Ilarley was just such a person, said Lottie. "You know I told you about him when I came back from Old Orohard last tiumrner. I never could bear him, he was such a foppish, conceited thing.'' ""Wouldn't it be funny for you if you should meet one of these hats down ther this summer?" laughed Julia. Wouldn't it?" Lottie flashed back as she threaded her needle and commenced to ban 4 one with black satin ribbon. "You ought to put a private mark upon some of them, so that if you ever saw one you could claim it,'' suggested Ella, Tell me something to put on, and I dochtro I'll do it," Lottie said, entering fairly into the sport of the thing Write something and put it inside the lining," suggested Dora Swift. Splendid, girls! What shall it be?" exclaimed Lottie, as she adjusted the purple iatin tip which bore "Artist" in golden capitals, and commenced sewing down the soft silk lining. "Poetry,' said Ella. "Say that you want the owner of the hat for a husband, and sign your name to it," aid Dora Swift, with girlish audacity. "Yes, do!'' exclaimed the others. 4You may lay the foundation of a capital adventure." 'I will," said Lottie, tho spirit of mischief taking possession of her. On a small square of white paper sho wrote in pencil: If the owner hereafter of this hat is good looking, agreeable, intellectual, and has email feet and hands.the trimmer of said hat, Lottie Kichards, would like to have him for a husband. L. H., M , Mass. "There girls," as it was paed round from one to tho other, "that is rather strong, I think, but hero goes," Lottie said gaily, as after banding her hat she laid the paper smoothly between the satin tip and the crown and sewed down the lining neatly. "You must do that one extra nice, said Ella. "Yes; your destiny may hang upon that hat," said Dora, in meek solemn tones. "I hope I'll have some tun out of it, anyway," said Lottie. "It 'I get into trouble it will be your fault, girls, for I should never have thought ot it but for you." "What trouble can you get in?" asked Ella, arching her eyebrows. "She has given her address; perhaps he'll come here to find her," said Dora. "Wouldn't it be fun if he should I" exclamed Julia. "But how is any one to find it, hid away in there?" Oh! we must trust to luck for the lining to get torn out in some way,'' laughed JElla. The little matter settled, the girls hurried to make up for lost time. Lottie's nimble ' fingers flew faster, and a dainty flush stole into her fair cheek as she thought of the little flatteries and compliments of which she was the recipient last summer, and how she must earn lota of money to buy things to make herself look pretty the coming season in the eves of the summer guests who boarded in her aunt's cozy home at Old Orchard. We give an extract from a letter written by Lottie to Ella three months later: Don't you think, Ella, a gentleman came yesterday and took aunt's front chamber, two flights up; and if he didn't come out to-day in a white lace hat just like thtme we trimmed last spring even to the purple satin tins with bilk lining! My lingers are itching to get hold of It: but of course it is absurd to think that among thousands of lace hau sold, he should buy the one with my Uly note in it I should feel pretty cheap to have him get hold of it.

Aunt thinks he's handiome. I don't, lie goes sketching every day, and has some lovely pictures in his room. "Well, how do you like them?" Lottie darted a startled, guilty glance at Carl Clayton as he came softly up the carpeted stairway and caught her standing TTunp through his half-optn door at the pictures placed round the room in different positions. Bold marine sketches, most of um oTfien. white-carped waves, amid ' which fearless bathers plunged, dark tern . pests and tossing ships, golden sunsets over a miror-iiKe sea. .,.,.

"I do not love you," she said, ana snatching away her hand from his she sprang off the rock and was away before he could recover from his surprise.

Lottie tried to free them, but she felt her strength going. She began to realize that she was to be mastered at last. lie waited till she was quiet then said: "Lottie I want an answer to the question I asked you three days ago." "Didn't I answer you7 she asked, mak ing a last effort to be heroic, though thero was a suspicious tremor in her voice. "lou don t mean itf ' "I did," she persisted. MJJo careful: don't prevaricate. Didn't you write to me that you wanted rno lor a husband?" The sudden dance, half ashamed, half audacious, wholly surprised, that she flashed upon him wa9 laughable. upon lie drew a paper from his vest pocket ana Unfolded it. Suro enough, there was her note turning up as unexpectedly as a lucky lottery ticket. "Didn't you write this?" 44 Yes; but 1 put in an 'if, didn't II" she ud, archly. "If ho is good looking and agreeable, etc." "Well, don't I answer the description?" he asked, quizzically. She looked up' at him. He caught the gleam of a tender love light in her eyes struggling with tho coquettish mischief that sparkled there. Without another word he drew hor within his arms and kissed her lips. The action sealed her fate. She had fought bravely against his strange magnetic influence from the first, but he had con quered her. "How did you happen to find the paper r" she asked softly. "I was examining the hat rather closely and detected it through the lace." 4'lJidnt you think it was a very bold hing to do?" she questioned, hiding her face against his breast. I knew it was a girlish freak. I did not el sure you and the writer were identical until I asked your aunt if you trimmed hats in M. I came here to study the ocean in its various moods, but the discovery of the note led me to study tho face of the girl who had done such an audacious thing," ho concluded, drawing her closer to him. I thought he was awfully old, and not a bit handsome," said Ellen, when Lottie paid a visit to her late companions. I think now he s just perfect, said Lot tie, "but I tried awful hard at first to keep from loving him." "Didn't 1 suggest that your destiny might hang upon that? ' asked Dora. "It was so funny that he got it, wasn't it?" remarked Julia. And Lottie thought it was. Not to Be Published. A fe- months since Jenkins had the mis fortune to lose his wife, who was a notable housekeeper. After giving way to his sorrow for some weeks, the bright idea entered the brain of the widower of doing something to lessen his grief, and at the same time pay a tribute to the worth of the departed. For that purpose he called upon a maiden lady of his acquaintance, and requested a few moments' private conversation with her. Feelinj sure that he was already tired of his lonely state, and come to make a proposal, she willingly acceded to the request, and with becoming resignation prepared to accept him. The bereaved one cleared his throat and began by taking the hand of the not unwilling virgin, and then, with downcast eyes, said: 'Wartha, you knew my wife? "She was niy dearestfriend." "Did you'ever reflect on that part ot the marriage service which says death alone can art the wife from the husband?" "Alas! yes. "Now. death has parted me from mv wife. and I feel very lonely. I think I must do something, and I have come to make you a proposal." And he pressed ner'hngers so'tly and sighed. The lady returned the pressure and waited to hear further, while she blushed and covered her face with the disengaged hand "I'll come to the point at once," he pro ceeded. "You know my wife was an excellent cook, and has left behind her a heap of manuscript recipes. I have decided on giving, them to the public, so, if you will help me to arrange and classify them correctly we will go halves in the profit of their pub lication. ' She sprang from his side full of indigna tion and resentment, and murmuring some thing like "I'll see you blessed, first," van ished from his astonished gaze. Jenkins sighed, took his hat and went home, and the cook book Is still unconi piled. When a woman arrives at the age of thirty-five without accumulating a husband, she enjoys attending one funeral more than a dozen balls. Wicked exchange.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN IN CONGRESS. Ills Speech Upon Military Coat-Talls An Amusing Reminiscence. Washington Star. In December, 1847, Abraham Lincoln took his teat in Congress as a Representative from the State of Illinois. It was not long before he became a great favorite with the members and officers of the House, for his genial manners, pleasant voice and ready wit pave him a magnetic influence on all who came within his social sphere. He lossessed but few personal attractions, his figure being tall and ungainly, but these deficiencies' were amply compensated for by his many shining qualities of mind and heart. He was a fluent and ready speaker, and his speeches were remarkable for their directness and precision, although

lacking in rhetorical grace and finish, lie possessed a rich and inexhaustible fund of wit and humor, to which he gave expression in anecdotes and quaint observations, which it was pleasant to listen to. Whenever he obtained the floor to speak, the House gave him its undivided attention, and never failed to greet his sallies of wit and quick repartee with laughter and applause. One of the most remarkable of his speeches dur ing his first and only term in Congress was delivered in July, 1848, in reply toone made a few days before by Mr. Iveson, of beorgia. The subject of Mr. Lincoln's sieeeh was "Military Coat-Tails." In the peech of Mr. Iverson, that gentleman ac cused the Whig party of haying deserted all their principles and taken shelter under the military coat-tail of General Zachary lay lor, the candidate of the party for the Presi dency. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Lincoln proceeded to show that the Demo cratic party were amenable to a similar charge, having for twenty-five years relied upon the military reputation of General Jackson for success, he having been made President out of it for eight years, while enough of it remained to make Presidents of several comparatively small men who succeeded him, and still relying upon it for the success of General Cass. the nominee of the party at that time, their campaign papers everywhere declaring that Cass and Butler were of the "true hickory stripe." Toward the close of his speech Mr. Lincoln poured a torrent of ridicule upon the military reputa tion of General Cass, and then alluded to his own exploits as a soldier in the Black Hawk War, "where," he continued, "I fought, bled and came away. If General Cass saw any live fighting Indiana at the battle of the Thames, where he served as aid-de-camp to General Harrison, it was more than I did. But I had a good many bloody struggles with the mosquitoes, and although I never fainted from the loss of blood, I can truly say I was often very hungry." "Mr. Speaker," added Mr. Lincoln, "if I should ever conclude to doff whatever our Democratic friends may suppose there is of black-cockade Federalism about me. and thereupon they shall take me up as their candidate for the Presidency, I protest they shall not make fun of us as they have of General Cass by attempting to write me into a military hero." I he notes of Mr. Lincoln s speech on this occasion were written on sheets of foolscap paer, and lay on the desk before him. It was not many minutes after he had begun to speak before he abandoned his manuscript and walked slowly down the narrow aisle, leading to the area in front of the Clerk's desk and Speaker's chair. He carried his left arm behind him, and with it slightly lifted the skirts of a black swallow-tail coat, worn nearly threadbare, which hung loosely from his shoulders, while his right arm was extended, and his long, bony forehnger pointed toward his auditors on the opposite side of the hall. As he walked he spoke with great earnestness, until he had crossed the area and stood face to face with the Democratic Representatives, when he would quickly turn, and hurry back to his desk, look at his manuscript lor a moment and then resume his walk. When the Speaker's hammer fell he eturned to his seat amid peals of laughter and applause, which continued for several minutes before order was restored and the regular business of the House resumed. Mr. Lincoln's seat in the old Hall of Representatives was on the outer row, and near the western entrance, lhe marble statue erected to his memory stands within six feetof the spot formerly occupied by his chair and desk. Summer Care of Children. At this season of tho year mothers are very properly concerned about the little ones, and desire to know how they may pass the summer in comfortablo health. Not only are mothers concerned. The mortal ity among children is highest in the summer. That means anxiety to tho city and a great tax upon that class of the community that is not able to command all the conveniences of life. Little children aro subjected to a great many impositions in the summer. They become overheated without being able to tell all about it. Polluted air is to them a decided depressant, and thoso that walk about breathe from the lower strata. Tho milk fed is often of poor quality and other foods are handed out with indiscretion. It is first of all to be realized that a child is to be treated naturally. It is to be fed on just what nature has provided for it. Ihisuptoone year, at least, means the mother's milk; but it does not mean con tinuous or too frequent nursing. One cf the most common causes of diarrhea is just this. The child, which should never nurse oftener than every two hours in the day, or three or more during the night, is supplied every half hour. This in summer will often keep up bowel irritation. In such cases there is often simply excessive evacuation, which is cured by less frequent feeding and two or thrf 3 grains of bismuth sub-mitras. It is a troublesome fact that, when the child becomes out of order, milk itself in any form is often objectionable. It sours and forms large curdles in the stomach, and has that cheesy character which always interferes with digestion. The remedy is to stop all milk for five or six hours. If boiled, it is' a little less apt to change. A teaspoonful of cold water given frequently often does good. v henever there is vomiting, or even if the diarrhea is severe, some warm stimulant oves the abdomen does good. The spice bag is favorite and valuable remedy. Take a half ounce each of cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and anise seeds, and pound them so as to be a coarse powder. These can be mixed and quilted in between layers of coarse flannel, to a size of about six inches square. Soak this in eqal parts of hot spirits and water, and apply it to the abdomen, warm, with a dry flannel over it. It does good as a kind or poultice, and it also has a sedative and antiseptic effeot. Tho child should be kept mostly in a recumbent posture. The nurse is very apt to attempt to cure the restlessness of the child by a jolt ing motion. This may for the time quiet, but is altogether bad treatment. Rest, in a recumbent posture in a well-ventilated room, and regular diet, and the external application Las cured many a case. Where irritation is nervous and caused by the teeth, lancing the gums is an advantage. It is nft true that the cicatrix which forms if the tooth is not soon cut hindera its progress. The relief is often very decided. Often there is much acidity of the stomach. Where this is the case, the liquid food should have lime-water or a little soda with it. Limewater is of one strength, and a teaspoonful to two ot water or milk, given every three hours, is well borne. Where there is pain with the diarrhea, or much wind, the addition of five drops of peppermint and three of laudanum to a child a year old is often of service. It is to be remembered that symptoms of any urgency require the attention of the physician. Others, however, have a very important office to perform in the regulations of the diet. Most of the summer complaints of children are caused Vy bad air, bad water or wrong food. The city children got a change from bad air by eoing on the salt water. The bad water is sometimes found in the milkman's can. It is unfortunate that condensed milk, hecause of tho amount of sugar in it and for other reasons, is not good for small chil dren. Many children are injured by being fed starchy foods. Bread, potatoes, rice, arrowroot, etc.; have In them so much of starch

that children under one year cn not well digest them. Where children are over six months of age, and there is intestinal irritation, there is often advantage in adding a little salt to the milk and in diluting it about one-fourth with barley-water. The

ground barley should be well boiled with water, so as to make it like a thin v cream. The flour-ball, rightly, prepared and grated into the milk just before using, is also excel, lent for mot children. It is made as follows: Put about a pint of flour in a muslin cloth, tie a string around it, making a tight ball. Put it in a kettle of boiling waterand boil four or five hours. When cold, take off the cloth, and when it has dried a little cut or tear off tho outside dough until you come to the hard center. This is kept and grated in the milk as it may bo wanted. Always be careful to feed tho child as little of any food as will do. While there is need of nourishment the amount of it is lessened bv overfeeding. The advantage of some of the prepared foods (like Horlick's, or Ridge's, or Mellon') is that tho sugar and the .starch aro so expelled or c ianged as that the foods admit of easy digestion Sometimes a diarrhea is to be recognized as only a local indication of some constitu tional disturbance of the nervous system. If so, remedies must in part be addressed to it. In 6uch cases potassium bromide in three-grain doses, or asafietida and modi eines of this class are found valuable. A few drops of paregoric given with a little lime-water ana peppermint is a gooa com U nation, because acting as a nervine as well as a sedative; but tho good thing is that doctors can bo found, if needed, and that "good nursing, removal of causes, keeping the patient quiet, improving the hygiene, reducing the temperature, removing the causes of the disturbance of the nervous system will in a majority of the cases of diarrhea in children do away with the necessity of medicines." mm Tiny Tokens.

Forney's Progress. The normal condition of parties in New York is periodical division. There is always a pretext for disputation; always a politician ready-made to invent the wedge, and to drive it home to split the block. The difference between New York and Pennsyl vania is that the latter (at the present time, at least), consents to obey the worst and most inferior men, while the former is al ways kept in tenor by the quarrels of bril liant and desperate leaders. The absolute downfall of the reigning rings in Pennsylvania is not because the leaders are at issue, as in New York, but because the Republican machine has become offensive to itself. like a proud man, conscious of his own in curable diseases, who prefers death to a living horror, liutin iew York there is an inherent spirit of dissent in every party. Koscoe (Jonkling is the simple product of others that have preceded him in tho Fed eral and .Democratic households. He is the worst and last; not a copy, but an insane original; partaking of tho characters of many schismatics, and adding to their in gredient tho dominant vanity of his own nature. The disputes of party leaders for the last three-quarters of a century in the old States would make a wonderful volume, but those of New York would surpass all others. As I recur to the bitter contest between liurr and Hamilton, I find how many oth ers have flowed from that early example, and how strangely history repeats itself. There was a period, in the history of New York, filled with duels produced by these conflicts. From 17U7 to 1801, and from 1801 to 1804, the utmost violence marked the politics ot New York. Not only ink, but blood was freelv shed by both parties. 1 count a dozen serious duels in that interval of eight years, lhe rivals were Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, but long before the first was killed by the bullet of the latter, there were other fatal affairs. In 1798 Mr. Henderson killed Mr. Jones in New York City for writing a political squib. .Jefferson and Burr were both Democrats, and in 1800 both received the same number of votes for President, and some of the Federalists, eager to defeat their ablest foe, Jefferson, were disposed to throw their electoral votes for I surr, but Alexander Hamilton, the Federal leader, bitterly opposed that alternative,and no doubt his opposition to that scheme led to his death at the hands of Burr, less than four years after. "1 trust," wroto Hamilton, Inur V.nrrlnrnl will nnt an far lose its head as to fall into this snare. Ihero is no doubt that upon every permanent and virtuous calculation Jefferson is to be preferred. Ho is by far not so dangerous a man, and he has pretensions of character. As to Burr, theie is nothing in his favor. His private character is not defended by his most partial friends. He is bankrupt bevond redemntion. excent 1 r r by the plunder of his country." And Jefferson was elected over Burr. Then began the reign of the Democrats in New York, and other duets. First, the death of Philip Hamilton, the eldest brother of the great financier, Alexander Hamilton, in 1802, in a political duel with a Democrat named Eacker; then tho quarrel between Cheetham, the Jefferson editor, and Coleman, the Ham ilton editor, which resulted in the duel which ended in Coleman's death. This was followed by the fierce con Act between De Witt Clinton, afterwards Governor of New Yo-k, a Federalist, and Jbhn Swartwout, a Democrat, anl a Inendoi liurr. They fired five shots and Swartwout was terribly wounded. This followed by a challenge from De Witt Clinton to Senator Dayton of New Jersey, afterwards arranged, and this by another duel between Ilobort Swartwout, in which Richard Kiker wa3 severely wounded. Matters were shaping for the mortal combat between Burr and Hamilton. Jeffereon was nominated for ro-eloc-tion as President in 1804, but Burr was defeated for Vice-President, and Governor Clinton selected as the Democratic candidate in his place. Indinant at this new outrage on his pride, and failing to get the regular Democratic nomination for Governor of New Yoik, Burr ran as stump candidate for that office against Morgan Lewis, regular Democratic candidate. Hamilton was fierce in his hostility to Burr, and Burr was badly defeated in the same year that saw Jefferson chosen President a second time. There is no doubt that from this moment Burr resolvod to fight Hamilton. The latter had been unsparing in his assaults upon his rival, and Burr, hearing of those comments, sent him a challenge, and refused all compromise but an abject apology. This was refused by Hamilton, and on the 11th of July, 1801, they fought at Woehawken, near New York, and Hamilton was killed, leaving a widow and seven children, his beautiful daughfer, Angelica, made a maniac by the fearful tragedy. Such is the skeleton of New York politics over three-quarters of a century ago. The future, if less tragical, has not been less quarrelsome. Both parties have been almost oqally afflicted by able and ambitious rivals. George Clinton, DeWitt Clinton, Governor Morris, the LIvingstonos, the Van Rensselaers, the Uoffmans, the Wrights, the Van

Bürens, the Dickinsons, the Sewarda,

Veed9, Talmadges, the Jays and the Marcys have been on both sides of various factions in the Democratic, Federal, Whie. ivnti-Masonic and nepubiican parties. In latter years we have had the "Hunkers,' and "Barn burn ers," the "Hards" and ''Softs" in the Democratic, and the ''Radicals" and Half-breeds" in the Federal and Repub lican parties. But in all this lapse of time tnere has been but one Koscoe (Jonkling. He is the cap-sheaf of the pyramid of selfadmirers; the Emperor of empirics; the Czar of coxcombs; the High Priest of the Hidalgos He is like the Irisman who was put in a bucket and hung in a deep well. Iiis tormentors would neither let him down nor pull him up. "So, by tho mother of .Moses,'' said Pat, "I will get the best of them," and he cut the rope. POPULAtt SCIENCE. In a paper lately read before tho London statistical society, statistics were given showing that violent deaths of various kinds nave increased in irequency with the pro of civilization. New forces, as also increas ing mechanical productiveness, render the risk to life and limb continually greater. Robust persons may occasionally in hot weather bathe twice a day in the sea without harm. But for most people one is enough. And it may be laid down as a rulo that if the fatigue of one bath has not wholly passed away another one ought not to lo taken. Children can generally bathe daily without harm. The longest span of telegraph wire in tho world is stretched across the lustnah River from hill to hill, each hill being 1,200 feet high, between Bezorah and Sectanaerum, in India. The span is a little over (3,000 feet in length, lhe only mechanical contriv ance used in stretching this cable across the river was a common windlass. The Ilotchkiss revolving gun, already adopted in the French and other great navies, has been ordered tor use lately in the German navy, the ships to ''be armed with this weapon in such a manner that every point surrounding each vessel may be protected by the lire of at least two guns at a minimum range of 200 metres. ' A ship which sailed from England for Australia recently took a four-foot "life" boat, designed not to save the passengers but the records of the ship in case of accident at sea. Ihis would seem to be a decided improvement on the conventional bottle, since it will carry more information and be more likely to be seen and picked up. The boat carries a sail, and is expected to make lour or hve miles an hour. A cement that will mend a broken oil stone: Dissolve isinglass in the smallest pos sible quantity of proof spirit by the aid of a gentle heat (over a water bath). In two ounces of this dissolve ten grains of gum ammoniacum; triturate to effect solution, then add half a drachm of gum mastic dissolved in three drachms of rectified spirit. Stir well and keep stopped when not in use. Liquify by gentle heat when required for use. Clean the stone with hot potash lye, rinse thoroughly and dry betöre cementing. M. Poirot recently read a paper before the French Acadamy of Sciences, in which he alleged that he had never seen flies, ants, worms, or even scorpions, tarantulas Or rat tlesnakes in those places in North America where absinthe plants prevail, lie ureres the cultivation of the plant as an insectcide, and- especially as a preventive against the ravages of the phylloxera. There might probably be safety to the vines, he thinks, if the land were manured with absinthe, as such a course would tend to interrupt, or prove absolutely fatal to, the metamorphoses of the phylloxera. The following substitute for oil in sharp ening tools appears in Dr. Latteux's Manu al de Technique Microscopique. Instead of 1, which thickens and makes the stones dirty, a mixture of glycerine and alcohol is used, lhe proportions of the mixture vary according to the instrument operated on. An art'ele with a large surface, a razor, for instance, sharpens best with a limpid liquid, as three part of glycerine to one part of al cohol. For a graving tool, the cutting sur face of which is very small, as is also the pressure exercised on the stone in sharpening, it is necessary to employ glycerine al most puro, with but two or three drops of alcohol. HOI SKIIOLI) KNOWLEDGE. To Take Grease from Floors. Rub soft soap on the spots, then press with a hot iron. The best duster with which to clean carved furniture is a new paint brush; you can remove absolutely all the dust with it. Try it. To Take Grease from Silk. Moisten the spot with chloroform, then rub with a cloth until perfectly dry. It will not injure me most aencaie color. Mucilage. Four ounces gum arabic, two of powdered white sugar half teaspoon ful oil of clves. Dissolve all together in a pint of water. This will neither mold nor sour. Always stand a wet umbrella with the handle down. One trial will convince you of the rapidity with which it will drain, and your umbrella will last longer if dried quickly. When putting away tho silver tea or coffee pot which is not used every day, lay a little stick across tbe top under tho cover. This will allow the fresh air to get in and prevent mustiness. Nothing is better for cleaning silver than alcohol and amonia. After rubbing with this take a little whiting on a soft cloth and polish. How to Dissolve India-kubbek. The usual and cheapest solvents of india-rubber are naphtha and turpentine, and these will keep the india-rubber in solution so long as they are not exposed to tbe air, but, of course, being spirits, on exposure in' small quantities the spirit leaves the india-rubber. These solutions are used to cement hose and pipes of leather, etc. If india-rubber be literally melted in an oven, at about 210 or 220 degrees of heat, it will not return to a solid state. Rastberry Vinegar. In these hot days a little raspberry vinegar added to a glass of cold water makes a most refreshing drink When raspberries are abundant is the time to provide a supply, and tho wild berries are quite as good as any if not the best. One of the -simplest methods is to place the berries in ajar and cover with the best cider vinegar; set in a cool place and the next day add as many more berries as the vinegar will cover. The next day set the jar in a pan or kettle of cold water, and gradually heat the water to boiling. If a glass jar is used some sticks must be placed between it and the kettle. When the berries are scalded through 6train, and for every pint and a half of juice add a pound of sugar, heat to the boiling point in a porcelain kettle, remove the scum as it forms, and when the vinegar is cool bottle and cork securely. Cake Here are two recipes for cake, which are nice to have on the table at the same time: For the first, which we cail familiarly Tirza's cake, take two cups of sugar, one cup of butter, half a cup of milk, three ana a halt cups of flour, the whites of several eggs, two teaspoonsful of baking powder; flavor with lemon. This will be as light as a feathor, and the quantities here given will make two small loaves For the second, which is a spice cake, take two eggs, half a cup of butter, ono cup of sugar, half a cup of molasses, half a cup of milk, two cups of flour, one cup of raisins (chopped fine), one cup of currants, one nutmeg, one teaspoonful of cloves, two of cinnamon and two of baking powder.
