Have ready some squares of buttered toast, lay the onion on thém, and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Po some eggs and lay one on each square of toast, ! Dainty Gooseberry Pudding. -- Btew one pound of gooseberries gently, and then beat to a pulp; it. should then meakure, one pint. Add to it four ounces of breadcrumbs, four ounces of white sugar, one ounce of butter, and 'lastly one beaten egg. Pour into a greased piedigh, and bake for half-an-hour. Beatter sugar over, and serve. _ Fish cooked in paper is most de- kicate, Take some thin white pa- per, rub ib over with melted but- ter or oil, lay the fish in, and just fold the edges together. Bake in a moderate oven. Serve in the paper, and hand round sliced le- mon with it. This is far more tasty than frying, and is less trouble. Dandelion' Wine. -- Soak. six quarts of dandelion flowers in one gallon of water three days and nights, then strain through a cloth and add to liquid three pounds of granulated sugar, juice of two le- mons and three oranges, one-half cake compressed yeast. Let this stand four days and nights, then strain again. Fut in stone jar. Keep straining until no scum re- mains, then bottle. Iced Tea.--Iced tea should be made several hours before needed. Bet upon ice. When ready to use, sweeten and drink without milk or cream. Use cracked ice to put into the glass. The tea should be extra, strong, and do noc be stingy with the ice. Always keep tea in air- tight cannisters, in order that the flavor may be retained. Tea has great value as an excitant of res- piratory action and js a promoter of digestion. Onion toast makes a good sup- per relish. Take 'half a dozen young onions, boil them, changing the water twice so that they may not be too strong. When cooked, drain and 'chop' finely. Place the onions.in' a' basin, with" half an ounce of butter, a quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper, and some. salt. Stir all together, place the basin int 'a saucepan of boiling water until the contents become hot. Have ready some slices of. buttered toast. On the centre of each place a slice of hard-boiled egg, cover with onions, and serve at once. ) 'A stewed joint of beef makes a nice change when served hot, and is excellent cold, especially for sandwiches. Get three pounds of rump of beef and cut away the skin and fat. Put this into a stew- pan with one quart of broth or water, 'and let it boil up. Season with salt and pepper, a bayleaf, some whole allspice, and an onion - stuck with cloves, Let this simmer gently for two hours and a half, then shred half the peel of a lemon finely and add to the gravy. Take up the meat, and place it where it will keep warm. Thicken and color the gravy, flavor with hot eauce and lemon-juice, and pour over the meat. ' Nut and Orange Bread.--Half pint each of liquid yeast and water, one teaspoonful of lard, one tea- spoonful of salt, one-half cupful of white sugar, one-half cupful of chopped nut meats, one cupful of, stale light bread crumbs, and flour to make a stiff dough. Knead until elastic and glossy. Cover and place | ed to rise. When well risen, which should be in two hours, work in one large well beaten ezg. Dip in- to a shallow baking pan to the depth of little over one-half inch. When light bake for thirty min- utes in a moderate oven ; keep cov- ercd for first ten minutes of bak- ing.

Dry 'your duster before polish- ing your furniture, and you will then. have no smears left behind: Rice and other milk puddings must cook very slowly to be good. | it'is only in this way that the starch grains have time to swell and thicken the. milk thoroughly: Carpets should be turned round every: six months where there is much. wear. ' Constant turning in' evenly. Orange flavoring is delicious for puddings and custards. Save the peel. of; oranges, . preferably . 'of Tangerines, d- it in the oven, amd. then store in tins for use. To stiffen a net or lace blouse do' not use starch, but instead a very! weak solution of gum arabic, This will give a little substance to the| 'aerial without making it horny, as is the case with' starch. : Warming boots so often spoils' them, The heat is most injurious to the leather, and causes it to crack.: Leather which has been heated needs' an application of grease to prevent its being ruined. Your white straw hat can prob-! ably be cleaned with a mixture of | lemon-juice and sulphur (the juice | of a small lemon and a teaspoonful of sulphur).

If the first application does not take it all out repeat the operation. | Washing Recipe.--In an ordinary wash boiler put one and one-half inch water; then put in three fourths to one bar good laundry: soap, thinly sliced. Let it come to| a boil, then put in one and one- half to two tabléespoonfuls kerosene | oil. When the soap is all dissol- | ed add enough water to fill boiler two-thirds to three-fourths full. Then put clothes in. After boiling five to eight minutes they can be removed thoroughly white and. clean, Without changing the water youcan boil two or three successive batches of clothes. This method beats all the washing ma- chines ever made. In this way clothes require no rubinbg. It saves nine-tenths of the labor on wash day. Try it and be convine- I SAGACIOUS HORSES.

The old war steed cannot com- pare with the Covent Garden (Lon- don) horse for cunning and artful- ness.- Three times these patient creatures travel from the country districts surrounding London to, the central vegetable market every week of their lives, and they get to know the way so wil that they will' walk direct from the packing sheds at home to their stand in the mark- et withont the slightest idance : from the driver, says London Ans- wers.

For thirty years he lingered hehind the gilded bars of his prison palace at Con- stantinople, and ultimately died without recovering his sanity. King Frederick William 1%. "of Prussia, grand-uncle of the present Kaiser, spent the last five years of his life in a state of insanity, under the most striet kind of restraint, owing to the volent character of his mania, although his queen. in- sisted that he was in his right' mind and that he had been proclaimed as mentally incapable merely to sat- isfy the unscrupulous and = impat- ient ambition of his brother, "the Regent, who died as the Emperor William. Then again the late King of Holland, by reason of his dissipated life, became a physical wreck towards the end of his reign, and for practically two years be- fore he died in 1890 the people were ruled in 'his'name by his consort, Queen Emma, who also acted. as Regent until her daughter, Queen Wilhelmina, came of age in 1808. © George III. is the only British monarch, who in modern times; has been placed under restraint and deprived of his authority because of insanity, though similar meas- ures were at one time contemplat-; ed with regard to his son, George IV., the monarch who has been de- scribed as "a' bad son, a bad hus- band, 'a bad father, a bad subject; a bad monarch, and a bad friend," and whose conduct. while on the throne, was characterized 'by ah eccentricity which bordered on lun- acy. The insanity of George III. was really brought about by the dan- gerous illness of his youngest and favorite child, Princess Amelia The unlikelihood of her recovery preyed upon him and hastened the attack of mental derangement. which . incapacitated him from reigning, although he had previous- ly suffered from this malady. He; died hopelessly*insane, at Windsor, after losing his sight as well as his senses. King John of Saxony, grandfath- er of the present ruler of that couns try, was mad during the last year of his life, and his freaks were a perpetual source of terror to his relatives and to the members of hig Court, i while, the. Czar Paul, . who 'reigned in Russia at the beginning of the nineteenth century, was a dangerofis maniac. © So much so, that the members, of his household h who assassinated him were hail as public benefactors.

Wainwright gave $100. to Thomas, to be given to Lane a few weeks be- fore the'é¢rime for the patyoes of establishing her in a little business: Thomas kept this for his own use. Henry became an accessory after the fact by aiding his brother in the removing of the remains. Had the former spoken he could have saved his neck, but he would not betray his own flesh and blood, al- though his own flesh and blood be- trayed, him. 3 REIN Eight years after the execution of Henry, Thomas died.
