frequently, and one that gives general satis¬ 
faction: Two cups of sugar, one of butter, 
one-fourth cup sweet milk, whites of eight 
eggs, beaten to a stiff froth, three and a fourth 
cups flour, two small toaspoonfuls of baking 
powder stirred into it. Beat the sugur and 
butter to a cream, add the milk, then add the 
whites and flour, alternating until both are 
in. Bake in jelly tins. Boil two-and-n-half 
cups of powdered sugar in half a teacupful 
of water, stirring constantly. When the 
sirup will thread from the spoon, pour over 
the whipped whites of three eggs. Beat until 
almost cold. Flavor with rose, and spread 
between the layers and over the top. This 
recipe is sufficient for two cakes. A pretty 
fancy is to color the icing rose with a little 
cochineal. You can get it prepared at the 
druggists for the purpose.

The fatal rapidity with which slight 
Colds and Coughs frequently develop 
into the gravest maladies of the throat 
and lungs, is a consideration which should 
impel every prudent person to keep at 
hand, as a household remedy, a bottle of 
AY FIR’S CHERRY PECTORAL. 
Nothing else gives such immediate relief 
and works so sure a cure in all atl'eetious 
of this class. That eminent physician. 
Prof. F. Swectzer, of the .Maine Medical 
School, Brunswick. Me., says:— 
“Medical science has produced no othc ano¬ 
dyne expectorant eo good a* AVer's Cherry 
Pectoral. It is invaluable for diseases of the 
throat und lung*.” 
The same opinion is expressed by the 
well-known Dr. L.J. Addison, of Chicago, 
111., who says:— 
“I have never found, tn thirty-five years of 
continuous study and practice of medicine, any 
preparation of so great value as Ayer's Cherry 
Pectoral, for treatment of discuses of the 
throat and lungs. It not only breaks Up colds 
and cures severe couiths, but Is more effective 
than anything else in relieving even the most 
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections.”

DELICIOUS CORNSTARCH PUDDING. 
To one pint of nearly boiling milk add two 
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch dissolved in cold 
milk: add a little sugar. When ready to 
take off stir iu the whites of two eggs beaten 
stiff. Make a custard of one pint of milk and 
the yelks of three eggs, and pour over the 
pudding when cold. This sume pudding is 
delicious with whipped cream poured over it, 
w hich may be made very simply by taking 
half a bowlful of cream, and beating, and as 
the cream grows light and puffy, taking it 
off, sweetening aud flavoring it with vanilla. 
That alone, with cake, makes a delicate des-

in its beauty and utility: “What do you 
grow herbs in such quantity for ■” She smiled 
aud said: “ That is my pin money,” and then 
continued: “You see, lone women cannot 
handle heavy produce. I have tried it often; 
but it cost more to employ the requisite labor 
than all was worth, and I decided some years 
ago to give up growing celery and potatoes, 
or turnips and beets, while 1 could turn my 
attention to the light work herbs required. I 
have the ground plowed in Autumn, and iu 
April the seed is sown in rows about. 12inches 
apart. It is held lightly when the tins!. weeds 
liegin to germinate, aud Is very easily kept 
clean if taken in time. The plants are thinned 
aud bear transplanting well. Iu September 
1 cutout every alternate row. and that allows 
the rest more room, 1 can get children to tie 
up the bunches, and there Is a good demand 
for thyme aud sage, savory and marjoram as 
long os the fowl season is In. Then if your 
stock is not all marketed, it will keep well. 
The other herbs are not bo much used, though 
the druggist does buy some of my lavender, 
for it is very useful m nervous fevers, and is 
largely used as a perfume. Anise sells, too, 
as it is made up iuto a medicine for weak 
digestion, and basil is a disinfectant equal to 
camphor, so, also, is rue. But sage is the 
best-paying herb, not only for culinary pur¬ 
poses, but as a medicine, mental and physical. 
Sage-tea is good for the hair, as a wash to 
prevent its falling out. It is good for the eyes 
as a lotion, aud as a decoction to strengthen 
the memory, 1 remember,” said the speaker, 
“ when mother made ns drink sage-tea when 
ever we did not know our catechism. It was 
an easy punishment, aud thought to be good 
for us; but its effects ou the memory I cannot 
positively state.” Iu many parts of the coun¬ 
try where lavender remains out-of-doors all 
Winter uninjured, it Is of more value the 
second year. Dill water is of some value 
as a wash for the skin. Profit? 1 made about

Is not a new claimant for popular conti- 
dence, but a medicine which is to-day 
saving tho lives of the third generation 
who have come into being since it was 
first offered to tin- public. 
There* is not a household in which this 
invaluable remedy has once been in¬ 
troduced where its use lias ever been 
abandoned* And there is not a person 
who has ever given it a propel* trial 
for any throat or lung disease suscep¬ 
tible of cure, who has not been made 
well bv It. 
AYfcR’S CHERRY PECTORAL has, 
in numberless instances, cured obstinate 
eases of chronic Bronchitis Larnygitls, 
and even acute Pneumonia, and has 
saved many patients in the earlier stages 
of Pulmonary Consumption- It is a 
medicine that only requires t‘> he tifUcn in 
small (loses. Is pleasant to the taste, and Is 
needed in every house where there are 
children, as there is nothing so good as 
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL for treat¬ 
ment of Croup and Whooping Cough. 
These are all plain facts, which can be 
verified by anybody, and should he re¬ 
membered by everybody.

to a cream: add the eggs, beat briskly for 
three or four minutes, then add the flour and

PERFECTION CAKE. 
Three cups of sugar, one of butter, creamed 
together, one of milk, three of flour, one of 
cornstarch, the whites of twelve eggs beaten 
to a stiff froth, two teasjiooufuls or cream-of- 
tartar in the flour, and one of soda in half the 
milk; dissolve the cornstarch in the rest of 
the milk and add to the sugar and buttei well 
beaten together; then tho milk and soda and 
the flour and the whites of eggs. This cake 
is said to come nearer to perfection than any 
other yet discovered. 
STEWED APPLES. 
Pare smoothly half a dozen good-sized, tart 
apples; syoop out the cores; boil the apples in 
sugar and water until they are soft enough to 
be pierced with a broom-splint, but lie careful 
to have them keep their shape. When you 
cut out the cores, cut out a little less than one- 
third of the apple, separate it from the core, 
aud after stewing it. mix it with some cold, 
boiled rice, the yelks of two eggs, and sugar 
and spice to suit your taste. When the apples 
are done fill their centers with the rice, etc.;

one small bone. Some say that the Human 
hunt! marks character; and men have pro¬ 
fessed to say that hand-writing has great sig¬ 
nificance. Whether ull this be true or not, it 
is certain that little things have great power 
of expression to the cultivated mind. For in¬ 
stance, if we enter a house filled w ith bad 
odors, we form at once an unfavorable opinion 
of the inmates, no matter how costly the sur¬ 
roundings. The picture on the wall (if it be 
only a wood engraving and without a frame) 
tells a tale. I can remember iu my early 
days making a call upon a family in very 
moderate circumstances, whom I had boon 
told wore poor. The room l entered was 
plainly furnished, but scrupulously neat. A 
few hooks were on a sheif, a few flowers iu a

orange. I was fascinated, and the memory of 
that cull has followed me through life, m.h.s.
