To assure both the above ends,
good, wholesome, palatable food is
demanded. It is next to impossible
to present a sufficient variety of appe
tizing bills of fare for our meals with
out a liberal allowance of pastry and
other food 'n which shortening is
required.' How to make crisp,
healthful, digestible pastry has
puzzled the cooks. A difficulty in
all good cooking in the past has been,
lard. Always fickle, never uniform,
most unwholesome lard has always
been the bane of the cook and the
obstacle to Vgood digestion."

Henry George says of the 'Wilson tar
iff bill:" "Well, the Wilson iill is letter
than nothing. Its main fault is that it
yet leaves us with a higaly protective
tariff and errs very largely on the side
of f.midity. The retention of the quar
ter per cent duty on refined sugar and
the slow method of getting rid of the
bounty are two very apparent defects.
However, its increase of the free sched-
ule, especially as to raw materials, will
pve the people a little larger taste of
the great advantages of absolute free
trade. If nothing better is in sight of
congress, it is well that ir pass even
with its crudities. "

Europe just now is Mrs. Eliralxnh L.
Ran Us. She is a newsjiaper woman and
has been discussing the subject of Eng
lish domestic service in T. P. O'Con
nor's newspaper for several weeks. In
order to get at the practical side of the
question she engaged herself as a house- j
uuud m several London families, and
Las been entertaining the public with
an extremely viviu acconci ci ner expe-;
rience. The press of the country has

taken up the vexed question, and is now
discussing Knh it and Mrs. Banks her
self in a lively fashion. Some of the
comments are by no means complimen
tary to Mrs. Banks, bnt her spirited re
plies to the critics have made the con
troversy highly interesting and amus
ing. The young woman now proposes
to make some comparisons of English
and American ways of living ia bock

Sarsaparilla
S. 1 Smitu, of Towauda. IX
whoso constitution was completely
broken down, is cured by Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. lie vrites:
" For eight years, I was, most ot tha
time, a great sufferer from constipa
tion, kidney trouble, and indiges
tion, so that nty constitution seemed,
to bo completely broken down. I was
induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and
took nearly seven bottles, with such
excelleut results that my stomach,
bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con
dition, and. in nil their functions, as
regular as clock-work. At the time
J began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my
weight was only 129 pounds ; I now can
brag cf 130 pouuds, and was. never in so
good health. It you could see me be
fore, and after using, you would want
nte for a traveling advertisement.
I believe this' preparation oi Sarsaparilla
to be the best in Uio market to-day."
