much embroidery and just as many ruffles as 
you please; but no sleeves, unless the bag is 
made to open behind. The fashion of disloca¬ 
ting a baby’s shoulder by bending back the 
little arm to force into the sleeve of a garment 
made to open in front, is both useless and 
cruel. No wonder the little things scream and 
kick when they are being dressed. Talk about 
a dress reform association for women. It is a 
reform in baby clothes that is most needed, 
and if a fashionable mother could be found 
brave enough to tie upher baby in dainty bags 
during the Winter months, all the other 
mothers in the laud would rise up and call 
her—a silly goose; but they would follow 
the fashion. There would be another advan¬ 
tage in dressing in bags, which wise mammas 
would not be slow to discover—nursing would 
be made easy for papa. Men do make so 
many excuses when they are asked to “ hold 
baby a minute,” but the most prevalent ex¬ 
cuse of all: “ Oh, I’ll gethisclothes all mussed 
up,” would be out of order if they could carry 
the baby in a bag The baby could not get 
out of it, neither could papa.

President takes much comfort in reading and 
meditation, and they who know say that the

a third layer of apples in the middle. Sugar 
and spice as before, with a few bits of butter. 
Cover with a crust and bake in an even, steady 
oven. Be sure and have the under crust well 
done. The whole pie should slip upon the

HUCKLEBERRY PUDDING. 
A quart of berries, a pint of water, a cup 
of sugar and half a 10 cent loaf of ba¬ 
ker’s bread. Add the water and sugar to the 
fruit and stew until tender. Cut the bread 
into thin slices and butter them. Into a deep 
dish put a layer of the bread, cover with the 
hot berries and thus alternate until all the 
bread and berries is used. Set away and let 
get cold. Serve with sweetened cream.

The handsome cottage at Long Branch 
erected by John Hoey, of New York, espec¬ 
ially for President Arthur as a Summer resi¬ 
dence, is finished, and the work of furnishing 
it for the Executive was begun a week ago. 
The President will arrive there early in July. 
The furniture and carpsts are of the most 
costly kind. The cottage is opposite the lodge 
gates of Mr. Hoey’s Hollywood Park residence, 
and contains over forty rooms.

TOMATO SALAD. 
Place ripe tomatoes some time before want¬ 
ing on ice or in a cold place. Just before 
serving, pare with a sharp knife and cut into 
thin slices. Arrange on a flat dish. Place a 
teaspoonfnl of mayonnaise dressing in the 
centre of each slice. Place a delicate border 
of parsley around the dish with a sprig here 
and there between the slices. 
MAYONNAISE DRESSING. 
The yelks of three uncooked eggs, a table¬ 
spoonful each of mustard and sugar, a tea¬ 
spoonful of salt, and a dust of cayenne. Beat 
all well together with a silver fork or egg 
beater. It is best to set the bowl in which the 
dressing is made into a pan of ice water while 
beating. Next, a pint of oil is to be added by 
degrees. Add a few drops of oil at a time 
(beating the meanwhile) until the dressing be¬ 
comes very thick. After this stage the oil 
can be added more rapidly. Before turning 
in all of the oil add slowly a fourth teacupful 
of vinegar. Stir in tha juice of half a lemon, 
and set on ice until wanted. L. I. Cook.

WELLS, RICHARDSON A CO., Rnrllnjloi., Tt. 
It is beautifully remarked that a man’s 
mother is the representative of his Maker. 
Misfortune and mere crime set no barriers be¬ 
tween her and her sou. While his mother 
lives, a man has one friend on earth who will 
not desert him when he is needy. Her affec¬ 
tions flow from a pure fountain, and cease 
BABY QUILTS OR COVERLETS. 
Our little babies are so beautiful that they 
need nothing to make them more so, and yet 
the coverings that are about them must be of 
the purest and nest in color aud quality. 
“ Baby blue” and “ baby pink” are, &« mothers 
know, the most delicate shades of these colors; 
and coverings for cradles 
and carriages are no ex- . \gt» 
ception to this rule. We |^| :-e. 
often see them wrapped 
in afghans, but these are 
wholly out of place in the sjgER’ 
wardrobe of a babe. We ||fw - 
give below a description 
of several quilts, either of 
which are very handsome. 
A pretty one may be 
made of pale pink nun’s 
cloth, or thin Summer serge. This worked 
over with small sprays of roses, or tiny 
daisies, would look well and be inexpen¬ 
sive. A trimming of Torchon lace would be 
a good iiuisb, or, better still, a scalloped frill 
of the same material, the frill likewise em¬ 
broidered to match the center. It should be 
made sufficiently large to lie about six inches 
over the side3 of the cradle or carriage. An¬ 
other novel arrangement is a quilted sateen 
with band of white all around, on which is 
sewed lace painted with ordinary water colors. 
The lace is ordinary white lace, with a defined 
pattern, and this pattern is painted over with, 
for instance, a pink kind of rose, touched 
up with a darker shade, when dry, and green 
leaves or a blue scroll worked up in the same 
way. It is easy and pleasant work, and effect¬ 
ive. As colored sateens do not wash, a cover¬ 
let made after this style must be used very 
carefully and for dress occasions only, as it 
would soon soil. But in these days of art, 
painting the lace or the entire coverlet would 
be very easy task, and there are many ladies 
who pass their spare hours in doing work of 
this kind. 
We have seen a pale colored satin, quilted 
in tolerably large diamonds, with a single ar¬ 
tificial daisy put in each corner, like the but¬ 
tons in the Btufling of a sofa or carriage, and 
a border of daisies, worked on a plaiu strip of 
the satin in wools and silks, at the top- An¬ 
other design is a spray of flowers, embroidered 
over the centre of the coverlet, coming out of 
a simulated slit, which is worked across the 
lower left hand corner. If this is well done 
the effect is very natural and pretty. Ap¬ 
parently the stalks of the flowers are all un¬ 
derneath that left corner. 
Time spent in making articles for our babes 
give us the utmost satisfaction, for every 
mother has the highest ambition for the ap¬ 
pearance of her baby, and is ready to do 
without herself, if necessary, in order to have 
something handsome for it. 
If a coverlet is made after either of the styles 
given above, we know our mother friends 
will be delighted with their work.

blackberry sirup. 
We are indebted to a friend for the follow* 
ing recipe for making blackberry sirup. To 
two quarts of the juice of blackberries add 
one pound of loaf sugar, one-half ounce each 
of ground nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, and 
one-fourth ounce of allspice. Boil together 
10 minutes and when cold add a pint of the 
best brandy. Give from a teaspoonful to a 
wineglassful, according to the age of the pa¬ 
tient, until relieved. This sirup is said to be 
almost a specific of the Summer complaint.

it is dry. 
Ixmg boiling hardens the fruit. 
Pour boiling water over the seive used, and 
wring out jelly bags in hot water the moment 
you are to use them. 
Do not squeeze while straining through jelly 
bags. * 
Let the pots and jars containing sweetmeats 
just made remain uncovered three days. 
Lay brandy papers over the top, cover them 
tight and seal them, or, what is best of all, 
soak a split bladder and tie it tight over them. 
In drying, it will shrink so as to be perfectly 
air-tight. 
Keep them in a dry, but not warm place. 
A thick leathery mold helps to preserve 
fruit, but when mould appears in specks, the 
preserves must be scalded in a warm oven, or 
be set into hot water, which then must boil 
until the preserves are scalded. 
Always keep watch of preserves which are 
not sealed, especially in warm or damp weath¬ 
er. The only sure way to keep them without 
risk or care, is to make them with enough 
sugar aud seal them, or tie bladder covers 
over.

The Oscaloosa Herald has lately given 
some articles on the morals of cookery, that 
are rich in sterling seuse. Not only are health 
and comfort dependent upon the ease and qui¬ 
etude of the stomach, but temper and morals 
besides. “ Whoever saw a dyspeptic with any¬ 
thing but a morose, peevish, whimsical tem¬ 
per I Or a good digestion unaccompanied 
with a buoyancy of spirit that carries the 
happy owner over all small failings and trou¬ 
bles with forbearance and good humor ?” A 
stomach loaded with “ fat salt pork, greasy 
pastry, sour bread, ill cooked vegetables and 
narcotic drinks,” cannot but complain, and ul¬ 
timately rebel. Unnatural craviugs set in and 
visits to the saloon supplement visits to the 
drug store. All ends in final wreck and ruin, 
for an effete stomach can never be restored, 
nor can it be replaced. A simple rule that 
should be impressed upon youug people is 
that anything swallowed which makes itself 
felt uneasily two or three hours afterwards 
is as dangerous as poison, aud the beginning 
of years of incurable misery. w.

HOT CABBAGE SALAD. 
A quart of finely cut cabbage, two table- 
spoonfuls of minced onion, two spoonfuls of 
pork or bacon fat, half a cup of vinegar, a 
teaspoonful of white sugar, salt and pepper. 
Fry the onion in the fat until it becomes yel¬ 
low add the other ingredient (except the cab¬ 
bage) let the mixture boil, and pour hot over 
the cabbage. Stir well and serve at once.

Mrs. Arthur’s Room.— It is said that Mrs. 
Arthur’s room in her beautiful New York 
mansion, in winch she died, has never been 
disturbed; that even the needle is still threaded 
and sticking in a bit of delicate embroidery in 
her work basket undisturbed, nor will her 
husband allow anyone to change the room in 
its furniture arrangements. There is the little 
rocker beside the standard work basket, and 
the little negligee crochet slippers. There 
stands her desk, with the ink dried on her 
pear-handled pen, which she had hastily put 
aside from some interruption, never to use 
again on earth. Her favorite books are 
placed in & tiny case, with a marker in one of 
them, just as she left it. On the table are 
placed each morning, by orders from the 
President, a bunch of her favorite flowers. 
Even her favorite perfumes are in her toilet
