Sweet Potatoes, Cranberries, Cabbag, Celery, at the LOWEST PRICES 1 How to Make a Picturesque Salad, Place 4 perfect', rosy cheeked apples, 4" large red tomatoes and 4 perfectly shaped green peppers ou a bed of crisp, fresh lettuce, garnished with slices of hard boiled eggs. Each single specimen of the fruit, When opened, is found to contain various ingredients mixed with a delicious mayonnaise dressing.

The apples are completely hollowed out and filled with celery and a little chicken. Tbe peppera have their own meat chopped up with a sweetbread, and the tomatoes are filled with slices of smaller tomatoes and tender green lettuce. The fruits themselves must be so carefully cut and fitted that their contents are a complete surprise. How to Make a Ball For Baby. Cut two rounds of cardboard about 3 inches in diameter and take from the center a piece three-fourths of an inch in diameter.

Wind bright wool in and out until the hole is filled, when, with a sharp pair of scissors, clip the wool through pass some twine twice round between the card, tie it tight, tear the cardboard away and clip the surface until it looks like velvet. The size of the ball will depend upon the size of the card. How to Make Whisky. It is a very simple matter to make an illicit still. The moonshiner frequently takes an old sprinkling can and solders the top on tight.

Then he arranges a bucket of water and cuts a hole near the bottom of the bucket to allowt the rubber hose, whioh he will attach to the spout of the sprinkling can, to pass out, after he has coiled it in the bucket and thus made a worm. Then he pounds up some com and puts enough water with it to make a mash, fills his sprinkling can, builds a fire under it and there he has a still. The steam which arises from the mash is condensed as it passes through tbe hose, and when the condensed liqnid trickles out of the other end it is whisky. How to Mend Gloves. An error that is commonly made is that of mending kid gloves with se Bilk, as the silk cuts the kid and shows the mend more plainly, while fine cotton thread gives a much more satisfactory result.

If the gloves are torn, put a piece of silk of corresponding shade under the torn part, baste carefully so as not to reveal the stitches on the right side and then draw up the rent with cotton thread.

I endorse every word of it. It is the only honest, manly and courageous position. Anything else is a serfdom as humiliating as absolute slavery." A Al, w.m!nant Anil Til 1011.71 well known turougnout Pennsylvania, writes: "I have read with much pleasure, in the Daily Republican, of January 3rd instant, the very clear, able and sound editorial on Party Allegiance. I cannot resist offering you my cordial congratulations. Such doctrine is timely and truly patriotic.

A fearless adherence to it is the duty of every honest citizen. If more editors would preach it, there would be less insane partizan fealty, less disgraceful rascality in politics; the polehouse politician and placeman would be succeeded by statesmen and honest officials." "Soft Clawed Tiger." Carrie Mead is one of the members of the Broadway Methodist Episcopal church, at Camden, N. J. A few weeks ago her sister, Enda, aged 15, asked Carrie to teach her and a couple of her young friends to dance. Carrie consented, aud the (lancing lessons began.

Last Sunday night Carrie attended church, and heard herself denounced in flaming language by the pastor, Rev. Graw. In the course of a sermon directed against the theater and dancin, Dr. Graw said he had heard of a young woman who had formed a dancing class and was taking the pure and innocent children of the Sunday school and teaching them the terrible thing. He likened such a young woman to the tiger, with its soft, smooth fur and its deadly claws lurking beneath.

Continuing in this line, the preacher said: "If that young woman is in the con- gregation, all I have to say is that she is a fool." Carrie's friends afterward demanded an apology, but the preacher said he had no apology to make, adding: "So long as I live I shall preach the truth." HOW TO CRYSTALLIZE FRUIT. Row Expensive Confections May Be Made Cheaply at Home. Few confections are more delicious Sickness Brines Up an Interesting rveminisceni-r. Prom tbe Pittsburg Gazette Elizabeth, Jan. 10.

W. E. Lewis, a well-known resident, has been ill for a long time. He is now reported in a dangerous condition and hit death is looked for. His dangerous illnes brings up an interesting little remembrance in which he figured.

Mr. Lewis and Frank McManus, who is now an aged resident of West Elizabeth, served in the same command in the rebellion. After a bloody battle McManus was in a detail sent' out on the field to bury the dead. One body among the rest attracted his attention, and he told those with him that it must not go into the trench, but that he would bury it separately, "for," said he, "that is poor Bill Lewis; he comes from the same town that do ana i want ms friends to know that he had a decent burial, and to have the opportunity of cettinsr the remains if they wish." He induced one of the men to help him, and after a hard labor they made a nice grave in a fence corner and in-tered the body in it. McManus care-fully marked the place.

He then went to headquarters to report the matter, so that the friends would know that he was killed and cared for and would not be reported simply among the I missing. But the first man he met as he approached headquarters was Lewis himself, alive and well. There was warm hand-shaking between them I when he explained the situation, and I Lewis gave McManus the only four hard-tack he had, for he was as hungry as a bear after his hard work. Late Literary News. No one ever thought of introducing so expensive a feature as lithographic color works in the days when the leading magazines sold for $4,00 a year and 35 cents a copy.

But times change, and the magazines change with them. It has remained for The Cosmopolitan, sold at one dollar a year, to put in an extensive lithographic plant capable of printing 320,000 pages per day (one color). The January issue presents as a frontispiece a water-color drawing by EricPape, Illustrating the last story by Robert Louis Stevenson, which has probably never been excel ed even in the pngi-s cif the finest dollar French periudirals. The cover of The Cosmopolitan is also '-changed, drawing'- of page length by the famous Paris aitist llohsi, in lithographic colors on white paper takes the place of the manilla back with its red stripe. Hereafter the cover is to be a fresh surprise each month.

An advertisement this size would cost you fire cent? si nay- The Pittsburg Sunday Dispatch in its Educational Notes, thus 6peaks of Miss Lou Taylor, whose family lives in Monongahela, and whose Bister is one of our school faculty: No other innovation has aroused so much interest in educational circles for years as the Introduction of nature study or science work in the Mt. Washington school. For the last month this school has been practically over-run with visiting teachers, principals and school directors desirous to see the features of the new work and to consider the feasibility of 'the introductiou of this study in their own schools. Science work in all its steps is made a specialty at the County Cook Normal School, Chicago, which has at its head Colonel Parker, of national fame. It was there Miss Louise Taylor, one of the teachers of the Mt.

Washington corps, spent nearly all last year studying the work, which she now superintends at the Mt Washington school. The aim of science work is to cultivate the powers of observation of the child; teach him independent thought and to reason for himself. He learns, too, a wonderful vocabulary of words. Such words as soluble, dissoluble, tasteless, carbon, the 6-year-old child can use in oral language at the Mt. Washington school and read them from off the black-board in sentences.

Each child has his own collection of stones, coral and shells. The children go through the little experiment with test tube, lamp or acid. They know that salt melts and is soluble. They go through experiments to show this. For botany, zoology, mineralogy there are all kinds of material to teach each science, and the museum at the Mt.

Washington school has all kinds of birds, minerals, woods and curiosities. So interested are the children in the world or nature that with the new study Prof. McCargo "The discipline takes care of itself." Last week Miss Moreland, of the Whittier School, Thirty-second ward, received for the museum, from a friend traveling in Ireland, a piece of peat. None of the pupils knew what it was. Some of them called it tobacco.

At last a little girl just from Ireland a few months ago said: "It is pate." Maggie knew it aud gave it its Irish pronunciation. First Morals, Then Literature. Moral teaching was Miss Edgeworth's first objoet literature or the interest of her tale came only second. To this cardinal defect she is indebted for most of her faults as a novelist. Her plots are improbable, and her characters become dummies.

If she does not avow her di-dactio purpose so clearly as Hannah More or Mrs. Sherwood, she is not satisfied, like Miss Austen, to leave her characters convey their own lesson. She seems more intent upon erecting moral sign posts for the convenience of future travelers than of accomplishing her own journey with rapidity and success. Nor is her teaching of an elevated kind. Its pole star is enlightened selfishness.

As her pattern children are always rewarded, so her heroes and heroines are sure to prosper, to discover themselves the inheritors of great fortunes and to marry into the peerage. Small space is allowed in her system for imagination, passion or religious enthusiasm. The internal struggle which their strength creates would only have disturbed her simple balance between right and wrong. Previous novelists had based morality on feeling. She ascribes it to the understanding.

She allows no amiable weaknesses, no sudden impulses, no nn-contrdlable emotions. Even Cupid, king of men, is elbowed from his throne and in exchange for his kingdom is offered a sinecure as the keeper of nonconformist consciences. A large tract of life is, in fact, to Miss Edgeworth a terra incognita of which she knows nothing because she feels nothing. Quarterly Review. Putting Up Ice.

George Kluetsoh, editor of the Lincoln (Neb. Freie Fresse, has in his possession in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln, written in 1859, an interesting letter. It was written to T. J. Pickett, at one time editor of the Republican paper in Rock Island, who has given it to Mr.

Kluetsoh. It reads as follows 8pRiKovnu, April 16, 18S0. T. J. Pickett, Esq.

Mr Dxab Bib Tours of the 13th is jost received. My engagements are such that I cannot, at any very early day, visit Bock Island to deliver a lecture or for any other object. As to the other matter yon kindly mention, I must, in candor, aay I do not consider myself fit for the presidency. I certainly am nattered and gratified that some partial friends think of me in that connection, bat I really think it best for our cause that no concerted effort snch aa yon suggest should be made.

Bolyoke, recently issued, 'give some facts showing that English journals Were not always as free from scurrility as they are now. The London for instance, which then had not the rule-of excluding "poetry," once published some verses on O'Connell beginning "Slime condensed of Irish bog, liar, traitor, demagogue." The same journal also spoke of its neighbor, The Morning Chronicle, as "that squirt of filthy water," and The Morning Chronicle referred to Tbe Morning Post as that "slop pail of corruption.

Cherries, oarrants, pineapples, apricots, pears and peaches are best experi-v xnented upon. The two former can be my used in bunches. The pineapple is sliced across the fruit, each piece being a good quarter inch thick.

Apricots are cnt on one side and the stones slipped out, while -pears and peaches are halved and of course peeled. Make a very thick sirnp, pound for pound, adding for each pound a small cap of water. Boil the sugar first, then drop in the fruit, and when it has boiled clear take ont and drain from the sirup. If the cherries are stoned, it is nice to string them on a broom splint, as they can be more cleverly handled. Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar, lay on a sieve and set the fruit in a warm oven.

In two hours turn the fruit sprinkle with sugar again. Keep this up until the sugar is all dripped out On no account have tbe oven hot, as it Will dry the fruit and leave it like so much leather. And, of course, the fruit must be laid in single rows when drying.
