THINGS WOHTIf KNOWING.
Clean piano keys with a soft rag
dipped in alehohol.
Apples tliat are not properly
looked after will decay in the bar-
rels very fast.
Egg stains on silver can betaken
off with table salt and a wet rag.
If ribbons need renewing wash
them in cool suds, made of soap,
and iron when damp. Cover with
a clean cloth and iron over it.
Leather chair seats may be re-
vived by rubbing them with well-
beaten white of egg.
To polish nickel-plated goods af-
ter becoming black and not worn,
use rouge or whiting on a rag with
a little oil.
Oil-cloths should never be washed
in hot soap-suds; they should first
be washed with cold water, then
rubbed dry with ft cloth wet in
milk. The same treatment applies
to a. stone or slate hearth.
Tea or coffee stains will come
out at once if they are taken imme-
diately and held over a pail while
boiling water is poured upon them.
Sweet potatoes require nearly
twice the time that Irish potatoes
do either to bake or boil.
Vegetables with a strong flavor,
such as onions and turnips, will
be much improved by putting them
to boil in cold water, renewing this
from a kettle of boiling water as
soon as it comes to a scald.
To make silk which has been
"tumbled" and wrinkled appear
nearly like new,sponge it on the
surface with a weak solution of gum
arabic on white gloves, and iron it
on the wrong side. Strong black
tea, cold, is a good thing to clean
black silk.
When using stale bread for pud-
dings always soak" it in a cold liq-
uid. Bread that has been soaked
in cold milk or water is light and
crumbly, whereas that soaked in
hot liquids is heavy.
If the flat-iron is dirty tie up a
piece of yellow bees-wax in a rag,
and when the iron is almost but
not not quite hot enough to use rub
it quickly with the wax, and then
with a coarse cloth.
In boiling meats take the fat
from the top of the water and save
for cooking or soap. In roasting
meat pour the grease out of the pan
or dip it out before it gets burned.
It will be excellent for use in cook-
ing. But if it stays till the meat is
done it will be nearly sure to have
a burned, unpleasant flavor.
mi8ceixanous.
Lemon Tart: Take some puff
paste, rolled quite thin, and cut
out of it with a biscuit cutter; curl
a narrow strip of the paste around
the edge of the shells and bake
them. While they are baking pre-
pare the following tilling: Take
one lemon and grate off the yellow
rind in a bowl; then squeze in the
juice, and a cup of sugar and the
yolk of an egg and stir well togeth-
er. Upon this pour a large cup of
cold water, into which has been
stirred a dessert-spoonful of corn-
starch. l'our all into a saucepan
and put the saucepan on the lire
and stir until it is cooked into a
rich, clear, straw-colored jelly. By
this time the shells should be baked.
Take them from the oven, fill with
the mixture; and make a meringue i
of the white of an egg and cover!
each one of them. Put them in
the oven for a moment to color a
little; then draw them out and put
them in the pantry to cool. The
crust being baked separately, it j
will never soak.
Pig's Head Cheese: Have the i
head nicely cleaned and boil till
very tender. Chop it very line;
and season with salt, pepper, sage 1
and a little cloves while hot. Put
in a deep dish and cover with a
plate that is smaller than the dish
that it may rest on the meat.
Place on the plate a very heavy
weight and let it stand for twenty-
four hours.
Pork Pie: Take any nieo bits of
cold roast pork. Line a deep dish
with paste, till in with the meat,
pour the gravy over it, cover all
with paste and bake till nicely
browned.
Cold Slaw: Lay the cabbage in
halves in cold water for one hour,!
shave down the head into small■
slips with it sharp knife, and
sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
Put in it saucepan ft cup of vinegar
and let it boil; then add a cup of
cream, with the yolks of two eggs!
well beaten; let these boil up and
pour it over the cabbage and put it
away to cool. This is considered
one of the healthiest ways to eat
cabbage.
or Sale I
a Trip Houtii—Mr. L. M. Martin, a
prominent Iowa railroad man and Su-
perintendent of the St. j.ouin, Des
Moines & Northern It. K. says: "On
my return from a reecut trip south,
where the water was very impure, I was
attaeked with a violent ease of cholera
morbus. Having heard a great deal of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, I concluded to try it and
with the most benelicial results; within
six hours I was completely cured." No
cell regulated household should ever be
without a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, j
cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Sold

Texan and Her Enemies.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean, a rank
republican paper which can sec
nothing good in a democratic state
recently said: "The great public
don't rush to Texas," and ascribes
as the reason the fact that Texas
gave Cleveland and the state dem-
ocratic nominees 135,000 majority.
It then adds:
"A round republican majority in
Texas would be worth 8100,000,000
to her the first year. Look at Da-
kota, Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas
and California for the proof of the
fact. And yet Texas has natural
resources equal to any of the states
mentioned."
In reply to the above statcmcut,
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
a paper friendly to Texas, defends
her in the following:
Since 1S80, the movement to
Texas has largely increased, and
the population of the state has re-
ceived the addition of 1,114,218
people in the past eight years, ac-
cording to the school census, and
the bulk of them are immigrants.
This compares as follows with the
oflicial figures for 1880 of the gov-
ernors of the several states men-
tioned by the I-O.:
Texas 1,114,218
Kansas <>04,000
Nebraska 547,(XX)
Dakota 4(15,000
Illinois :$<H),000
Iowa 204,000
The enemies of Texas should
not close their eyes to the truth of
figures. While Texas is largely
democratic the right of any one to
vote and think as they please is no
freer or more fully exercised in any
state under the canopy of heaven.

—McMurry is still ih the lead in
all kinds of plow tools and weeel-
barrows. Don't forget it.
For a cold on the chest there is
no better specific, for most persons,
than well boiled or roasted onions.
They may not agree with every one
but to persons with good digestion
they will not only be found to be a
most excellent remedy for a cough,
ami the clogging of the bronchial
tubes which is usually the cause of
the cough, but if eaten freely at
the outset of a cold, they will usu-
ally break up what promised, from
the severity of the attack, to have
been a serious one. — Scientific

Boots, Shoes and Hats,
To be given, to our* Customers.
A Simpler and Better Plan to Advertise our Business, Induce Cash
Trade, and Benefit those who Patronize us.
As we were forced to abandon our other plan of giving our customers some presents, with a threat of'
prosecution for running a lottery, and as court business is not what we are after, we have adopted the fol-
lowing plan, which is simple, and all can understand:
EVERY CASH SALE IS RECORDED, AND EVERY TWENTY-FIFTH BUYER IS PRESENTED1
WITH WHATEVER THEY BUY, BE IT LARGE OR SMALL, OR ANY NUMBER OF ARTICLES.
Now tin's is a plain business proposition, which a simple calculation shows us we can afford to do, and;
from now
UNTIL MAY THE FIRST,
We propose to run this plan, and do it on a fair and square basis, and will expose our private selling mark
to any customer, to show that our prices are not advanced.
OUR SPRING STOCK..
Is now complete, and wc can fit anything from a tiny baby to a Chicago Woman's foot, in any Shape, Stylo'
or Price, and as we buy more Boots, Shoes and Hats than any Shoe Store in North or East Texas, and buy
them direct from reliable manufacturers, who guarantee all their goods
TO BE SOLID LEATHER,
wc can offer advantages to any who will compare the prices and quality of our goods with others.
