Fish will reduce the coat of table fare if wisely used and still satiety the meet vigorous appetite. Freezing Dreams. The first requisite hi a good freczar—get a large one, it should hold four quarts at least. A small quantity can be trczen as well in a large as in a small freezer. The ice should be pounded in a bar; a meal bag is the beet kind. Use a wooden mallet for breaking the ice. Always use coarse rock salt and never try to freeze cream with fine salt. Pound the ice nearly as fine as the salt. Never try to freeze anything while it is yet warm. Strain creams before fretzIng as it will make them finer grained. Use a saucer for measuring ice and salt and take three saucers of ice to one of salt. Never pour off the salt water that comes from the melting ice as this helps freeze the cream. Have the salt and ice come to the top of the mixture in the can. Atter freezing a cream remove thebeeter and press down firmly with a spoon. Take off the handles and place a cora in the hole in the cover. If the cream is not to be used for several hours pour off the salt water through the hole in the side of the wooden pail of the freezer and repack with the ice and ialt mixed in the same proportion as before. Have the ice come to the top of the can • cover with a piece of old carpet or blanket and set away. To turn out dip the can for an in- stant in warm water and turn out on a plat- ter. To mould creams in bricks or melons Blithe moulds with the frozen cream; lay a piece of paper over the cream before the cover is put on, then tie on the oover and bury the moulds in nit and ice. How to Eat. The etiquette of eating a soft boiled egg has. been the subjeob of more than one clever essay. The English custom is to eat it directly from the shell, when of course a small egg cup and egg spoon are necessary. The American way is to break the egg into a cup or glass by- striking the shell in tne center and turning .the contents into the glass. In"eleis case it ie usually eaten with a teaspoon, as an egg spoon, unless extra. large, would be too email, and we have seen the egg held by a corner of the napkin, but this is not only tiresome but dififieult to do nicely, without soiling the napkin - Celery is always taken from the dish and carried to the mouth by the fingers. If in- dividual salts are not provided, it is eti- quette to use one half of the butter plate for salt. If salt shakers are used, hold the celery in the left hand just over the rirn of • your p!ate and gently sentokle it with sett, and the old cuatom of putiog sp000fel of salt on the cloth is stilt in practice. When. corn is served on the cob it meat be taken in the fingers, only managed very daintily.

Minority Oan Defeat Majority. The NSW York "Herald" recently publish. ed It remarkable table showing that le is potable for a political party in the United States with a popular majorlty of over 8,000,- 000 to be defeated at the polls in a =mitten. tial election. This is due to the feeb that there is no common unit of repreeentation, in the Electoral College, that is to asy, an elector from ono State may represent ten times as many people u an elector from another. For example, a Montana elector reposente about 13,000 people, while a New York elector represeute over 147,000. Ten votes of the people in New York, therefore, have no more power than ono in Mon - tau, In the next Electoral College there will be 414 votes, and the "Herald's table shows that tho aggregate population of thirty-one States which will have 208 of these votes is 21,788,000, while that of cloven States which have the remaining 2C6 votes is 27,832,000. Should the States divide in this' manner at a Preeidential elution, the aide having a popular majority of over 6,000,000 would nevertheleas be in a minority of two in the college. This, of course, would be an extreme case, but, as ourtreaders aro aware, at the last election the candidate who was the choice of a minority of the people secured the Presidency. South Flondin Tbe crew of the schooner "Mabel F--" while on shore at Hey Mina heard a strange rumpus, and pushing round it turn in the beach they saw it huge logger- head turtle in deadly battle with a big black bear. From their positions it seemed that the bear had sprung on the turtle as it was retreating toward the water, and had tried to overturn it. In some way it had stepped in front of the turtle which, thrusting 18 head out, had seized one of bruhne hind legs and held 6. At this the bear roared loudly, pawed furiously at the turtle's hack, and tried to force letm over on Ins back. The turtle horn will miter° the handle and the back. This bo done by putting the amalleat toilet ohina in the bum with it. Dry vtell before using. The head should be protected from dirt in aweoping and dueting with a dust.osp, Clipping the ends of the hair once a month is beneficial.

He Mik heated to much above 100 degrees settled down dose to the ground whenever the beer made an extra effort, and then ss the bear relaxed his efforts, he would sud- denly start up and endeavor to get nearer the water, keeping his firm hold °nthe bear's leg all the NOW°. Finally, by a sudden push and a powerful musonlar effort of his head and paws, brain managed to get the turtle half -set, one side being raised it foot or so. Pursuing his ad- vantage, he seized one of the turtle's big flippers in his jaws, and the snap that follow ed. showed that bruin felt that things were evening up. He kept chewing the fiipperand endeavor- ing to overthrow the 'Witte. • But his antag- oniab worked around, and finally got. 18a stroke with its sharp claw that badly ripped the bear's under side. This infuriated bruin eo much that he let ge his grip on his antag- onist's flipper, and, reaching his bead down, tried to read; and free his hind leg. Bub he made a bad mistake, and the enraged, logger- head quickly improved his opportunity. As bruin's noseocame within reach he let go the leg, and, quick as a flash, fastened hie iron grip on the bear's jaw. The bear was thoroughly taken by surprise, and roared lustily with pain and rage. The turtle pushed on, and dragged bie unwilling captive along.. The bear saw his danger and felt it, too, for they were so near the water's edge that the waves splashed over them. The bear kept up the struggle ferociously, but his strength soon began to fail, for the turtle dragged him deeper and . deeper. Fighting with his head half the time under water so exhausted him, that presently he stopped to rest. That moment was tatal. The old /oggerhead marched off into the sea with his enemy, and the last seen of bruin was the feeble kicking of his hind legs. Next day his body was washed ashore, cut into a dozen pieces. • A Clear Proof, • Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut, on the occasion of a riot, attempted by a speech to quiet the people'when a random missile, hitting him on the head, felled him to the ground. He was badly hurt, and as his friends were :tarrying him into the house, his wife met him at the door, and exclaimed, "Why, my husband, they haveknoched your brains oub l" "No,. they haven't," said .• the governor, with. some asperity; " if Pd had any brains, I shouldn't have gone there." • It is stated Gen.

Fahrenheit loses for a time a degree of its eweetness and amity. No one who, fat ivied by over exertion of body or mind, has ever experierced the revivieg influence of a tumbler of this beverage, bested as hot as it can be sipped. will willingly forego a resort to it because of its being renderedsomewhat lees acceptable to the palate. The prompt. ness with which He cordial inflaenbe is felt is indeed surprieing. Some portion of it seems to be disgested and apprepriated al - moat immediately, and many who now fancy they need alcoholic stimulants when exhusted by fatigue will find in this simple draught an equivalent that wMbe abundantly satisfying and far moreenduring in itstffects. "There is many an ignorant, overworked wo manwho fancies she could notkeep up without her beer ; she mistakes 18 momentary exhil- aration for strength, and applies the whip in- stead of nourishment to her poor, exhaust- ed frame. Any honest, intelligent physician will tell her that there is more real strength and nourishment in a slice of bread than in a quart of beer ; but if she loves stimulants ib would be a very useless piece of informa. Um It is olaimed that some of the lady clerks in our own city, and those, too, who are employed in respectable business•houses, are in the habit of ordering ale or beer at the restaurants. They probably claim that they are "tired" and no one who sees their faithful devotion to customers all day will doubt their assertion. But they should not mistake beer for a blessing or stimulants for strength. A oareful examination of statistics will prove that men and women who do nob drink can endure more hard. ships and do more work and live longer than those less temperate."

Stanley's geographical discoveries have been noteworthy, albeit; the object of the relief expedition has not been exploration. He has traced the Aruwimi hundreda of miles from the Congo to the highlands flank- ing the Nile basin. He has demonstrated the extent and character of the enormous forest belt that extends northward from Tanganyika to the equatorial lakes. He has discovered a snow-capped mountain which he thinks rivals Shims -Niue in height. He has described the tributary of the Ry - son, which undoubtedly. connects that my stenions lake, Mute /imp, • with the Nile system.

Coutts, the Empresa Eugenie has also the capital aunt which was handed over to her on account of the sale of suoh possessions in France as were proved to the Redefinition of the Fres& Courts to be the private property of the Emperor. A third source of her large annual income is in Spain, where she had several valuable estates in the neighborhood of Granada. It will be to visit this Spanish property that the ex- EmprePs will shortly leave England, and she will probably stay on the most beautiful of t, her estates during the Spring months. Her abode will be a Chateau en Eepagne of the most substantial kind, which she has not previously visited since she left it to become Empress of France, thirty-seven years ago.
