What Modern Invention llaa Dob for Our Malroin and Mulda, In lonnor year It wii no easy task for young married couple to "go housekeep ing," and tt required nosmnll exjiendlturt of cash. A raixro or cooking stove, cof fee and spice mill, a mortar, a cake board and rolling pin, a tray and chopping knife, not to mention a largo number of pots, kettle, frying pans nud bowls, and large stock of raw materials In the line of provision, were required. Then con ilderul)lu nklll was nmwiry to use all these Instrument for preparing food for the tulrtV, and that nklll, unfortunately, was not jKuwi-Hsed hy the young wife. The consequence was that most icrson who inlmrkel on the sea of umtrluiony nailed directly to a iKinnling house and set up their hoiwehi.M divinities lu a back cham ber, where they remained till the land lady levied on them for an over due bill for meals and lodgings. But modern Invention baa rendered housekeeping very eauy. A couple may now set up for themselves with very few utensils, scarcely any provisions, and next to no knowledge of cookery. A gas or oil itove takes the place of a costly and cum brous cooking range Coffee Is bought not oidy parched, but ground. Spices and pepper come all prepared for use. Every kind of bread, cake and pastry can be purchased at a slight advance on the cost of the materials they contain. If one wishes the Krt of making tbem, self raising flour may be had In any grocery. Fruit of all kind all ready for the table can be purchased about as cheaply as that which must lie prcparwl. Not only lob sters and other shell uxh, hut salmon may be bought cooked and ready to be served at a price but little above what the crude article cost; and cooked corned beef, tongue, pigs' feet and ham have long been on the market There are also canned sonp, that only need to be diluted, mince meat, all ready to put between pie crusts, and roast meat and fowls of all descriptions. Borne grocers keep mush prepared for frying. Boston baked beans, put up In cans, have had a great run during the wt few years. English plum puddings are also on the market. Can of cooked green corn, beans, peas, tomatoes, caullilower and asparagus, with Buratoga fried potatoes, are to lie found on the shelve of every grocery, while laundries do the wasblug and Ironing. It is no longer necessary to be a cook, or have a cook, to keep house. It requires scarcely any conking utensils to provide warm meal. A can opener, a frying pan and a coffee pot nru the principal requi sites. Even the lust Is not aljsolutely necessary, since a mixture of prepared coffee, sugiir and cream may readily be obtained. It Is even practical now for the novice todlsH'usewith a cook book, as the label on every can tells how to treat the contents. Suivly, Indies need no longer complain that the laUirs of housekeeping keep them from cultivating their niluds. Boston Budget. llnrurn (irealry's Prophecy. Iu tlio winter of 1M0 I heard a lecture delivered by Horace Greeley lu Brooklyn. Ills subject was "France." Solemn and weird were his prophecies that night. All else, save a general Imprvsnion of his lec ture, lias passed from my memory, but one thing stands out hi boldest relief, and that Is his description of how Umls Na poleon accomplished the coup d'etat and tho prophecy which Mr. Greeley made. It was near the end of his discourse. In his calm style the orator, speaking of that usurpation, accomplished In treachery and blood, seemed to have become elevated like a seer, and he said; "A day Is coming when, as mini as there Is a liod in heaven, Napoleon III will pay the penalty for hav ing outraged moral and civil law." And (here timley raised his voice), "Thod, Eugenie, bountiful queen of power and of fashlou, when that day doe arrive thou Wilt have 'hy share In the penalty." 1 think that I never heard anything half so weird, half so startling. The audience, which had given good attention hitherto, was now simply spell Ixiund. Greeley then went ou aud guv his reasons for including the empress In the future retribution, lie said that It was a notorious fact that after Louis Napoleon had treacherously and murderously stilled the second Fronch republic, the tlrst person who wrote him a congratulatory anil approving letter was Mile, la Condense de Montljo, who became the Empress Eugenie, J. C. Fletcher lu New York Graphic. 'Stored, t'p" Forra In Water. An error concerning water ha arisen from a remark Imputed to Faraday that "in every drop of water Is stored up the energy of a stroke of lightning," which ha been largely used by Keeley motor and other simulator to further their schemes. There Is no force of any klud "stored up" in water;, and the statement made by Faraday, If he ever did make It, Imply referred to the small quantity of electricity develojied in a lightulng flash, which would hardly be euough to decom pose Into it constituent gives a tingle drop of water. The powerful effects of lightning are due to the great tension of electricity, like a very small boiler in which the steam Is at an enormous pres sure.

Many heirs of Stewart nre reported to have turned up in Belfast notwithstanding Hilton's dei- ositiun that the deceased had no living relatives. The Chicago ami Erie railroad refuses to permit the Standard Oil Company to parallel its pipe from Limn, O., to Chi cago, and tho Htnndurd has been put to enormous expense securing ngtit ot way oil railroad territory.

The two latest electrical wonders that are assuming shape are writing by tele graph and the production ol phonographs at a distance by means of electricity.

A rather extraordinary bill became law at the last session of the New Jersey Legislature. It is called the parole law, and provides for the release of prisoners on certain conditions on a sort of ticket of leave. The singular reason is assigned tor this experiment that the Legislature is anxious to save the expense ot erect ing a new Mate prison. The Senate Committee of the Now York Legislature in its report on the su gar trust says : " It was plainly one ot the chief purposes of the trust to pro vide tor the issue ol certificates afford ing an opportunity tor great speculation obviously to the advantage ot the per sons managing the trust aud to the dis advantage ol the general public, who were ignorant ot the secret ot the trust." Lsnd Commissioner Carter is very much surprised that the Surveyor-tten-erals ol the Coast State are not rushing the work ot State survey.

Professor Mallett, of the University of Virginia, has concluded a very laborious and careful examination of baking pow ders, which he reports In The Chemical News. The greater part of these powders are made from alum, the acid phosphate of calcium, bicarbonate of sodium and starch. He finds the effect of their use Injurious to gastric digestion; that not only alum itself, but the residue which its use leaves in the bread, are for from harmless and should be avoided. This question has long been mooted and both sides defended, but Professor Mallett gives us a long, extended and thoroughly scientific and unbiased investigation.

An Immense Strawberry Crop. A prominent fruit-grower of Western New York from a single patch of sixteen acres sent to market in one year 1,300 bushels of strawberries. I Me entire crop was sold at an average price of 12 cents per quart, realizing the snug sum of $5, L'00. This mav be taken as an instance of the profitableness of thoroughly sci entific fniit-Krowinir. Good strawberries can be raised by the bushel, says Orange Judd, cheaper than wheat. The space necessary to supply a family need not be large. e have aver aged one quart to z.iu square leet, or at the rate of 630 bushels per acre. The Ohio Farmer says that, if strawberries are well set in the fall, they will fruit the next season, as it is the fall growth of roots which supports the plant for the next year's fruiting. J. J. Thomas rec ommends in p'anting to make a little mound under the roots and spread them evenly upon it and then carefully cover them. Thus treated, they grow twice as well as when planted as they usually are. A writer says : The secret of success in raising the strawberry is watering it ireely daily. Mr. fuller says: i-arly I. u .

Timely Care of Live Stock. Work horses need plenty of strength ening food, regularity in feeding and watering and good grooming. Guard against galls by keeping the harness clean and soft. Many horses work beet when they are barefoot. Protect teams from drafts when they are heated. Give brood mares roomy quarters, watchful care ana treat tnem gently and kindly. Cows require extra care at this season Give those about to come in good roomy quarters, and treat them kindly. Guard against abortion and accidents. To pre vent garget and other troubles reduce their iood, though plenty of good sound hay may be given safely. Keep all the good heifer calves, ana remember that teaching them to feed from the pail saves trouble. Sheep should be kept in dry yards to protect tneir teet, ana also guarded against storms. Ewes and lambs need good shelter and liberal rations to pre vent suffering and keep them thrifty. Spring lambs, well cared for and fed lib erally, will soon sell at a profit. Pigs and poultry both pay for good care and Keep, i he pigs need exercise, and will do good by destroying manv in sect enemies it allowed to take it in the orchard. Give breeding sows bran and other cooling food, but no corn or meal. Poultry "shell out "the profits now.it ever; so care well for the birds if you want fresh eggs and chickens galore. Protect them from vermin by using ker osene upon the roofs and walls of the poultry house ; and do whatever else that will tend to promote their comfort, health and consequent productiveness.

The cough, which is at first dry m painful as some say "tearing", erally loosens up In from one to tt0 days, and then the patient "raises" quit, freely.

If one is suddenly chilled an attack is very likely to occur. B; too severe and sudden cooling ot th, body the blood is driven from tlies face to the internal organs. The link membrane of the bronchial tubes is vm easily congested In that way. Consider, ing all things, it naturally follows that bronchitis is more prevalent after sudda changes in the weather and when tin same is moist and cold. When an attack of this disease coma on the sufferers who treat themselves, a rule, direct their efforts entirely stopping the cough, without girty much tuougnt to mo trouuie mat et- cites it. The remedies which they usually take, while bringing, perhaps, some relief, t more often do more harm than cod and really in the first stage ot aeon bronchitis there is seldom great need of what passes under the head of coujk medicines. While there is soreness or rawness ii the chest, the patient should be confined to his bed and kept on a light diet. Mustard poultices should be applied, morning and night, and left on until the pain from tljem is intolerable. Alta they are removed, a towel wrung out of warm water should be applied, and oth that a dry one laid, and then seven! folds of flannel. In the meantime, unless the cough b incessant, there will scarcely be id; need to give medicine for it, and ca tainly, if any are used, they should bt wisely selected. Flaxseed tea is an n cellent drink, having a soothing effect ii such cases. It Bhould be taken often ud in considerable quantities each day. If the patient is not under the cared a physician, and will not consult int. notwithstanding his cough is very troth blesome, keeps him awake, etc., k might have put up at the druggist's i mixture of the sweet spirit of niter, par egoric and sirup of ipecac, of each m half, ounce.

After two or three days, when tk cough has become soft and loose, si: the soreness and rawness in the chest to disappeared, then, instead of the w& cine advised, the sirup of wild chem bark should be taken, in teospoonfi: doses, every three or four hours. I! there is much to raise, it will be well te tako also of the sirup of squills one-hal! a teaspoonf ul three or four times a da; If one guards against exposure the af fection is likely to subside quite rapid); less and less is raised until finally tk amount of secretion is near that o health and the cough disappears.- kee Blade. 1 The Story of a Plav.
