PEN THOUGHTS FROM EVERY-DAY 
HOUSE. 
ANNIE L. JACK. 
“ The strange aweet days arc here again, 
The happy, mournful days. 
The Bongs that tremble on our line 
Are half complaint, half praise." 
This verse Always comes to my mind as 
spring draws near when the mid-day hours 
resemble the soft, balmy spring days, and the 
evenings and mornings are sharp reminders 
of winter. The busy housewife seems to find 
the. lengthening days all too short as the re¬ 
modeling of spring garments occupies her time 
and siie is apt to wish that dinner and tea did 
not follow each other in such rapid succession. 
A very useful and labor-saving plan is to pre¬ 
pare stock for soup beforehand and keep it 
ready for use. The basis for Julienne soups 
can be made as follows : 
Put into a stew-pan four pouuds of sliiu of 
beef or knuckle of veal, auy bones, trimmings 
of poultry or other meat, two ounces of butter, 
two onions, each stuck with cloves aud uncut, 
one turnip, two carrots, one head of celery, 
salt, pepper, mace, and a bunch of savory 
herbs, with four quarts of cold water. Rub 
the butter over tbe pan before putting in the 
ingredients ; cover ail closely and place over a 
sharp fire, stirring occasionally. Simmer five 
hours. Remove all scum and strain through a 
line sieve. For ali ordinary purposes this 
stock is very useful, cau he available when 
one is not iu the humor for cookiug, or unex¬ 
pected compauy makes an additional course 
needed, when soup has not, been especially 
prepared. 
A nice relish for those fond of such things 
at this season, is common garden cress, which 
can be raised to cutting-length in any sunny 
window during March or April. It is a pun¬ 
gent ingredient in a winter salad, which can 
be nicely made of a tender beet leaf, a few 
stalks of celery and a little cress, chopped to¬ 
gether and mixed with a little vinegar aud 
cream. The cress makes a very nice tea dish 
to be eaten with bread and butter. It is no 
trouble to grow' it. Ours sown in sand, in a 
saucer, was ready for use in fifteen days. 
Eggs arc now coming in quite freely and 
form one of the luxuries that cau be enjoyed 
by nDy farmer's family. There are so many 
ways of cookiug them, that I almost hesitate 
to give one that if tried faithfully will, I am 
sure, give satisfaction. It is poached eggs 
with cream. Put into a frying-pan one pint 
of water, a pinch of salt and tw r o tcaspoonfuls 
of vinegar; break each egg to be used (this 
quantity cooks four) into a teacup, aud when 
the water boils, slip tbe egg gently in without 
breaking the yelk. Simmer three or four 
ininntes and, with a slice, lift them out, place 
on a hot dish aud trim the edges. Prepare at 
the same time in a saucepan, half a gill of 
cream with salt and pepper, brought to the 
boiling-point; add an ounce of butter broken 
into small pieces. When this is well-mixed, 
pour over the eggs aud serve. Small pieces of 
dry toast cut into one particular shape and 
placed round the dish, add to its appearance, 
and are very good. In this way, with a little 
care and not much more trouble, the simplest 
dishes can be made palatable, and at no time 
of tbe year is this more needed than in early 
spring, when the appetite is often variable, 
and we begin to miss the full store of winter, 
aud caunot yet attain the richness of the sum¬ 
mer fruits which, it there is, as there should be, 
a full supply in every farmer’s garden, render 
us during tbe heated term half-iudependent of 
the kitchen lire.

Home-made Conveniences. 
How much I have longed for my old, easy 
sewing-chair, since we have been in our new 
home; aud then I have wondered how those 
old friends, away East, could get along, year 
after year, with only those hard, old benches 
aud stools. I remember I used to think when 
seated on one of them, that if 1 were so poorly 
off for chairs, I would do without other com¬ 
forts till 1 had comfortable scats in my house, 
for myhelf and my guests. And yet 1 don’t 
know' what they could dispense with; for they 
had neither luxuries nor fineries, and only food 
enough to keep hunger from the door, aud 
clothes enough to cover them decently—not 
enough t® be well clad on a cold day, for the 
children were often compelled to remain at 
home, when they should have been in Bchool, 
for the waut. of boots, shoes and comfortable 
wraps. We are well fed aud comfortubly clad 
for winter or summer; but the prospect for 
even a new set of chairs, is very slim for a 
long time to come. Is it a judgment upon me 
for thinking unjustly of others ? If there were 
only some w ay for me to earn a few dollars ; 
but my neighbors are all like myself—too poor 
hire work done. The country is new, and 
every dollar must be saved for farm improve¬ 
ments and family' necessities. 
A few r hours later, 
“I'll do it! I’ll do it!” I exclaimed, as I 
threw' down an old number of tliWtuRAL New- 
Yorker, which I had found in a trunk up¬ 
stairs. Mother had put in a whole year’s sub¬ 
scription, when she was belpiug me "pack 
up” for my new home, saying: “They will 
help you to pass away many au otherwise lone¬ 
ly hour; and, no doubt, yon will gather from 
their pages many hints that will assist you in 
your life journey.” And I have found a num¬ 
ber that suggests what will be to me a luxury ; 
and yet it is so simple and easily made that I 
wonder I had not thought of it before finding 
the hint in the paper.” 
Barrels, hammer, hand-saw, a few short nails, 
a piece of rope, a bit or small auger, one of 
the old quilts that mother gave me when 
mine were burned, till I could make new ones, 
an old double-skirted dress, and a few hours 
with busy fingers and active brain.and behold! 
my room is adorned with two luxurious eusv- 
chairs, fit even for a farmer or an editor to rest 
his weary self in, after a hard day’s-work. 
"Now you and pa have bof nice chairs; can’t 
you make one for me out’n somfin ?" says 
Bertie. And I answer, " Yes, my boy. There’s 
that long shoe-box that papa brought home 
full of groceries the other day, 1 think 1 can 
make a nice, little, high-back chair for you out 
of that. I’ll set it up on one end, take out the 
upper-end board, and saw off the side boards 
about half-way down, put in the seat-board 
about six inches lower down, so that the side 
boards will come up high enough for arms; 
nail a slat across the front just below the seat, 
to make it strong; then cushion and cover it 
with some calico like my big apron. Then I 
guess Bertie will have a very good resting- 
chair.” 
" When will you make it, mamma?” 
" To-morrow, if we are all well, and nothing 
happens to prevent.”

QUESTIONS ANSWERED. 
Hoe-Cake. 
Mrs. 1). L. B., wishes to know how the gen¬ 
uine Southern hoe-cake i6 made. 
Axs.—It is simply corn-meal aud sweet 
milk, with a little salt added, stirred to the 
thickness of a stiff batter, spread on a bak¬ 
ing-pan and tipped up to bake before an open 
fire. The name "hoe-cake” originated from 
the fact that on the plantations this cake wa6 
often baked upon the broad fieid-lioes. 
'To Color Madder-red. 
Reader wishes a recipe for the above. 
An*. —Three pounds of madder, one-half 
pound alum and one pound of cream-of-tartar 
to ten pouuds of woolen cloth. Dissolve the 
alum aud cream-of-tartar together in water to 
cover the cloth, l’ut iu the cloth, boil up and 
let remain on the back of tbe stove for two 
hours. Then wet the madder in warm water 
aud put into a boiler of clean water; when 
blood-warm put in the goods wrung out ot ihe 
alum and cream-of-tartar water aud keep stir¬ 
ring until the dye is boiling hot; let remain in 
for three hours, after which take out the 
cloth, stir into the dye one quart of soft-soap, 
put the goods back and let stand until cool. 
Then rinse aud dry. 
To Keep Eggs. 
Mrs. R. L. asks how eggs may now, while 
cheap, be preserved so as to lie good for cook¬ 
ing purposes next fall and winter. 
An s.—To keep eggs for auy length of time 
it is necessary that they should be fresh at the 
time of packing and that the pores of the shell 
should be sealed air-tight whether by dipping 
into melted suet or wax, tlax-seed oil, a solu¬ 
tion of gum-arabic or any air-proof vurni&h 
and theu packing iu bran, oats, salt, or char¬ 
coal powder. Another method, aud perhaps 
the most common, is to pack the eggs in a 
stone crook or half-barrel, covering with a so¬ 
lution of lime, salt aud water. One pound of 
good stone lime slaked in two gallons of pure 
water with a piut of salt added when cold, 
will be found about the right proportions. If 
the lime be loo strong it will destroy the shells. 
Back the eggs into the crock, small end down, 
aud be careful to reject any eggs that may be 
cracked. Bour over them the clear lime-water 
free from any sediment. See thul all are under 
the solution. Cover the crock tightly and place 
iu a cool temperature where they will not be 
disturbed until wanted for use.

MISCELLANEOUS. 
Monday, March 31,1879. 
In Congress nothing has been done In the way 
of legislation; but a good deal In the way of Hxesl- 
dent-maklug. It. should be Impressed on our 
Representatives that there Is ample time for t he 
latter, and that, tbe main thing the country needs 
at present. Is either to stop law-making, so that 
the Industries or the nation may have some firm 
basts tor Investing capital; or. better still, to 
pass laws to foster and encourage those indus¬ 
tries. There Is a great likelihood that the ex¬ 
tra session ot Congress will be prolonged much 
beyond the time at first supposed necessary and 
that both parties will draw fat salaries, not for 
promoting tbe good of tlio united nation, but 
for advancing parly Interests. 
There seems to be an absolute necessity that the 
hangman should soon be busy In some parts or the 
country, especially In the South. A little over a 
week ago, a drunken desperado, tn Marshall, 
'l’exas, shot aud killed, without a particle ofprovo- 
eatlou, a member ot a Northern theatrical com¬ 
pany, who had been acting In the town and were 
just walling lor the midnight train Dial was to 
carry them out. of the State. Another member 
was dangerously wounded by the ruffian, and one 
of the actresses only saved her life by piteously 
entreating the scoundrel’s forbearance, lie was 
from Kansas, has few friends In the Lone star 
state, and as a good deal or excitement, has been 
aroused tiioughout the count ry by the outrage. It 
Is not Impossible that his crime wlU bring him to 
the halter. At Frankfort, tvy., Thomas Buford, & 
lilgh-toned gentleman, who had already, with 
immunity, attempted his brother’s life, and gained 
a reputation Ui other ways as u dangerous char- 
after, shot to death Judge KUlott, w'ho, with other 
members of the court, hud recently decided against 
him in a case involving a large sum of money. In 
Richmond, Va„ a young blood, feeling agrleved 
because a young lady friend conceived herself 
Insulted by a clerk in a shoe-store, went with his 
brother to horsewhip the lnsulter, and because the 
latter objected to the proceeding, shot him dead. 
These are only a lew specimens of the cases that 
call for the hangman’s interference, 
foreign. 
in Egypt, the Khedive has been so criminally 
extravagant, that the debts he has piled on the 
country arc so heavy that It cau pay neither prin¬ 
cipal nor Interest. The fellahs, or peasantry of the 
country, are grouud to the dust by enforced labor 
from which they arc allowed only just enough to 
keep body and soul together. They can never save 
„ any thing, so that when misfortune huppens, they 
. have nothing i*o fall back upon. The Nile, as stated 
here at the time, rose unusually high some months 
ago and now famine has resulted tromusovertlow. 
In some villages, the naked Inhabitants are eating 
grass, roots, offal and anything that, will prolong 
, in pain their wretched existence. .Vast numbers, 
especially In Southern or Upper Egypt, have died of 
starvation, and that entire part of the old " Grana¬ 
ry oi the World," Is a scene of misery and death. 
Meanwhile, the ruler whose costly dissipations, 
w’Ud speculations and gross mlsgovermnent, have 
brought these horrors on his people, has fallen 
under the control of representatives ot his English 
and French creditors, who collect, the t axes, make 
all outlays and are trying to pay something to 
those who loaned the old reprobate the where¬ 
withal to indulge In Ids excesses, c if course, the 
income of the latter Is pinched somewhat, aud he 
is now plotting and scheming once more to get the 
finances Of the country Into hls owm hands. Ills 
chief grievance at jiresent Is, that, while hls sub¬ 
jects are enduring unutterable sufferings, he has 
actually been deprived of tiou of his harem women 
who have been married off to the under-officers of 
hls army. 
In England, strikes aud distress are still rampant. 
From present indications It would seem that In 
agricultural matters a radical change must soon 
take place. Already those who Invest as landlords 
in the purchase of fanning property, only get from 
l.'v to a percent, on their capital ; yet tenants seem 
unable to make a livelihood paying the low rent 
that, yields only so small a return. Farms are 
going begging for farmers to work them; and the 
cry for •• protection ” for home productions is gradu¬ 
ally growing louder all over the kingdom. No 
fresh news of Importance either from the Zulu or 
Afghan war. In France the main qucsliun at 
present stems to be whether the Legislature shall 
move from Versailles to Haris. The Assembly 1ms 
voted for the measure, but Hie Senate is opposed 
to It. 'The movement means simply a concession 
t.o the radical, red-hot republican faction, and 
while It w ill please the luhablUinls of Haris and 
other large cities, It Is sure to arouse apprehen¬ 
sions among the more conservative dwellers In the 
country. 'Hie thing is more important as an indi¬ 
cation of the tendency of the government than on 
account of the direct consequences that may result 
from It. Herman.
