HOME INTERESTS.
Pie Crust.—Ah Infallible rule to pre-
vent pie-crust being soggy or lardy, is to
add u little cream-of-tartar to the flour.,
IIakd Soai\—6 pounds sal soda, 4 gal-'
Ions water. Put this together and let it
came to the boiling point; let it settle and
pour off; add J pound borax, 0 pounds
grease: then pour It Into dripping tins;
let cool and cut in bars.
To Clarify Dripping.—Put tho drip-
ping Into a basin; pour over it boiling
water, in which a teaspoonful of salt has
been dissolved, and keep stirring the whole
to wash away the impurities. Letit stand
to cool, when the water and dirty sedi-
ment will settle at the bottom. Repeat
this operntlon at least twice with fresh
wuter. When cold, remove the dripping
from the water, and melt it into jurs.
Fritters.—Pare very thinly and core
either pippins or bell-flower apples, or
nice ripe quinces. Cut them in round
slices, and fry one in every fritter. Eat
them witli sweetened lemon-juice. You
can make fritLers with a large tablespoon
of any thick marmalade In tlie center. Or
put a large fresh oyster In the middle of
each fritter. Some use a tnblespoonful of
minccd meat in the center of fritters. Any
of them are nice.
Mossibs.—1 cup light brown sugar; a
little less than \ cup of molasses (any kind
will do); boil till it crisp; in cold w ter,
then put It to cool, either on buttered
plates or In little "patty pans." If you
have peanut, walnut, or hickory-nut ker-
well mixed, and your kernels; a large
iiandful of kernels to this recipe.
Kabuit Cutlets.—Prepare the rabbits
as you would for a stew; cut the different
limbs into the size of cutlets—such as the
shoulders cut in half, also the legs, -with
the ends of the bones chopped off, and
pieces of tho back, even to half of the
head. Have ready some bread-crumbs
and the yelk of an egg beaten up. Drop
cacli cutlet into tho egg and then cover it
with bread-crumbs, as for veal cutlets.
Fry them a nice brown, and when you
dish them pour round thepi some rich
brown gravy, which may be flavored with
tomato sauce If approved, and put round
them rolls <ff fried bneon.
Rice Biscuits.—Mix together 3 pounds
of wheat flour and 1 pound of rice flour.
I'ut this In a pan, make a bay or hole in
the middle; rub in by degrees 1 pound 10
ounces of loaf-sugar, and } pound of but-
ter ; make tlie whole into a dough, J of a
pint of milk with an egg or two, dissolv-
ing first in the milk 1 ounce of volatile
salt. Roll out the dough into a sheet
about 1-0 of an inch thick, cut out the bis-
cuits with a plain round cutter, about 3
inches in diameter; rub over the tops with
milk, and throw them into rice flour, put
them on buttered tins, so as not to touch
and bake into a moderate brisk oven.
Boompernicki.e Coffee. —In these hard
times, when many of us have to do with-
out tea and coflee, here In the Northwest,
in the grasshopper eaten districts, a sub-
stitute can bo found, both palatable and
nourishing. We use what we call boom-
perijckle codec, which is made by sifting
some shorts, or what some call middlings,
or a coarse flour, mixing it with water to
a hard dough, with no salt or salcratus
Roll very thin, cut up into crackers, bake
until very brown all through. Half a
dozen crackers put into a coffee-pot with
boiling water and cooked the usual time,
with sugar and cream added, make an ex-
cellent drink, especially for dyspeptics and
children. Tho crackers if thoroughly
baked brown will not crumble up but
leave the coffee clear.— Exchange.
Too Much Kissing.
Tho nmonnt of miscellaneous kissing
which has been developed thus far in the
Tilton-Beeuher case is perfectly astound-
ing. Mrs. Tilton has been In the habit of
kissing Mr. Beecher, and Mr. Beccher has
returned the compliment. Even Mrs.
Moulton has confessed to the soft impeach-
ment of kissing Beecher, probably " to
ftfte the old man a chance." 'Miss An-
thony has been charged with kissing Til-
ton, and it is certain that Tilton has kissed
Bcceher, and Beecher has kissed Moulton.
Tho Ovington's are in the habit of kissing
Mrs. Tilton in court, and Mrs. Tilton
k isscs Mrs. Field. In short, kissing seems
to be tho principal occupation ora good
many of the Plymouth Church people.
We are not surprised, therefore, that
Wednesday's report of the trial closes as
follows, Mrs. Sarah O. Putnam being on
the stand:
" Mrs. Tilton always appeared to mo to
have a blind idolatry for her husband.
Mr. and Mrs. Tilton always gave cordial
greetings to their friends, and Mrs. Tilton
always kissed the gentlemen friends of the
family, while Mr. Tilton kissed the ladies.
At this point Mr. Jafft-rey, one of the ju-
rors, was taken with a sudden faintness,
and the Court adjourned."
To a man " up tree," with no oppor-
tunities, no particular taste for miscellane-
ous kissing, it will be apparent that kiss-
ing goes by favor in Plymouth Church,
and that Mr. Beecher Is the principal
kisseo of that congregation of "white
souls." If the mere narration of this mis-
cellaneous kissing so affects jurors that
they faint away, what wonder Is It that
the actual operation Itself has set every
body by the ears, and that no ono knows
who's who ? I n tho event that Mr. Beech-
er secures a verdict of acquittal, he ouvht
to protect himself in the future from this
kissing persecution., He might, like I'a-
pageno In "The Magic Flute," close his
mouth with a padlock, lock it up, and
throw away the key. He must do some-
thing to4top this frantic female Brooklyn
osculation or It will ruin him. He cannot
pun lio his labors continually, look after
his church duties and save souls, 1c' lie is
obliged to stop every few minutes to kiss
some female of his flock, or let some
" white soul" kiss him; and again, lie Isn't
hired for the kissing business. If lie 1 ,
then he is too expensive. There are plen-
ty of able-bodied men with abundance of
leisure who would be glad to take his
place for their beard, and even on that
small pay would notgrow hypochondriac-
al. But seriously, Plymouth Church
ought to be ashamed of Itself. Its miscel-
laneous kissing has brought its pastorinto
trouble and Itself into ridicule, and if they
get out with whole skins, they ought in
future to be more circumspect aud leave
kissing to the children of the world. Mr.
Beecher has had enough of It to last dur-
ing the remainder of his life.—Chicago Tri-
bune.
Etagbrk Cabinet Organs.—The eta-
gere, as the French call that elegant ar-
ticle of furniture furnished with a num-
ber of small shelved, Resigned for various
small ornamental articles, has become a
necessity in every fashionable drawing-
room. The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.
are now manufacturing a combination of
the etagere and cabinet organ, very rich
and beautiful, which they thrnish for
the price of an organ without the
etagere.
Thb laws of New York permit the
wearing of veils, but forbid the weariDgof
masks, at public balls.
Blood Diseases.
The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up and from which we de-
rive our mental a* well us physical capakill-
ties, how important that it should bu kept
pure. If It contains rile festering poi- .is all
organic functions are weakened thereby.
Settling upon important organs, as the lung*,
livtr or kidneys, the effect Is most disastrous,
flcnce it behooves everyone to keep their
blood in a perfectly healthy conditian anil
more especially does tbis apply at this partic-
ular season of the year than any other. No
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause of a large proportion of ail diseas-
es is bad blood. Now Dr. Pierce does not
wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery
in tbe catalogue of quack patent nostrums by
recommending it to cure every disease, no't
does lie so recommend it, on the contrary
there arb hundreds of diseases that be He-
knowledges it will not cure; hut what he
does claim Is this, that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure, and
that disease is cancer. He does not recom-
mend bis Discovery for that disease, yet Ik-
knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will tree
the blood and system of all other known
blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or
mineral. The Golden Discovery is warrant-
ed by him to cure the worst forms of Skin
Diseases, as all forms of Blotches, Pimple*
and Eruptions, also ail Glandular Swellings,
ahd tho worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcer-
ated Sores of Neck, Legs or other parts, and
all Scrorulous Diseases of the Hones, as
White Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip-Joint ami
Spinal Diseases, all of which belongs to
Scrofulous disease.
CONFIRMED—HIP-JOINT DISEASE
' • ¡CUJlgD.
' W. GfliovE Station, fa., July 14, '72.
Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N". Y.
Dear Sir—My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swellings would appear, and dis-
appear on her lilp and she wa gradually be-
coming reduced, and her whole svstcm ) ot-
ten with disease. In 1871 a swelling broke
on her hip discharging large quantities, and
since that time there are several openings.
Have had five doctors at an expense of $125,
who say nothing will do any good but a sur-
gical operation.
July 10th, 1873, he writes thus: My
wife haa certainly received a great
benefit from tbe use of your Dis-
covery, tor she was not able to get
off the bed and was not expccted to live a
week when she commenced using it, a year
ago. She has been doing most of her work
for over six months, lias used twenty bot-
tles-hnd still using it. Her recovery is con-
sidered as almost a miracle, and we attribute
it all to the use of your medicine. I can
cheerfully recommend it as a blood purifier
und strength restorer.

American Women.—It is a melancholy
fact, that American women have Regener-
ated in point of health and phyisique, un-
til tliey have become literally a race of in
valids. How sad It is to look around us
and compare the frail and effeminate look-
ing ladles of to-day with the hale, hearty
and buxom ladies of days gone by. To
all such the late discovery of Dr. Walk-
er, of California, which is known as Vin-
egar Bitters, is a priceless boon indeed.
For this clas3 of diseases it is certain and
safe, and any lady, old or young, can take
it with entire confluence in tlie result, and
thus avoid what to thousands is a stum
bling block never overcome, viz.—a con-
sultation with a family physician. 'Tis
true there may be cases of years standing,
that will necessitate more powerful treat-
ment, but in nine cases out of ten this
rem2(1 y will reach the disease, and after a
little time, effect a cure. The number of
ladies cured by It are numbered by thous-
ands, and are scattered through every
State in the Union.
DeaTiis by Consumption.—It is estimated
that 100,000 die yearly in tlie United States
with Consumption. When Consumption first
appears there is pain in the chest and oppres-
sion, attended with diftienlty of breathing.
Soon there will he a cough, if this irritation
is not healed, and the effort to raise wi l still
addfuel to the fire. Allen's Lung Balsam
will at once alhiv the pain and irritated
parts, stop tlis cough, and prevent what
would be Consumption. It is making cures
of diseased Lungs which were considered in-
eurable.

Imtortant Invention.—" In less than
ten years there will not be u metal truss in
use '? was the prediction of one of our most
eminent physicians on examining the Elastic
Truss of ilie Elastic Truss Co., 088 Broad-
way, N. Y. The extensive adoption of these
unequaled instruments, which certainly cure
rupture without torture, will make them the
only trusses used in much less than ten years.
We advise all sufferers to send to the above
company for descriptivo circulars, as these
trusses are sent to all parts of the country bv
mail.—Com.
If you want to look well and feel nicely
around tho neck, wear the Improved Warwick
Collar. It is the latest style in width, and all
the edges being folded, the corners do not turn
up. It looks better than any other collar,
wliethcr linen or paper.
It is a rare thing that physicians give any
countenance to a medicine, tbe manufacture
of which is a secret. About the only excep-
tion we know of is Johnson's Anodyne Lini-
ment. This, we believe, all endorse, and many
of them use it in tbeir practice with great suc-
cess. .

and SUPPORTER is
now superseding all

everywhere by the lead-
ing physicians, surgeons,
druggists,army and navy,
hospital* gymnasiums,
etc., etc.
The success and unlver.
sal satisfaction they have
, i, as well as the great number of radical cures
hey have affected, has demonstrated the fact that rup-
ture can be surely cured without suffering or annoy-
ance, and ioithout the danger of incurring Spinal Dis-
tase or Paralysis, often caused by the severe pressure
of Metal Trusses and Supporters. It is the only sure
•ore for Hernia, as it is the only Truss in nse thnt will
|K>ld the rupture securely In all positions in which the
fcody can be placed. It will ^perform jradlcal_ci
when all others fail.
r cures
_t can be worn with ease and
comfort when no spring trnss can be used. When
once adjusted, no motion of the body or accident can
displace it. T hese Instruments have the unqualified
approval of the most eminent practitioners in the pro*
fesslon.
From the numerous testimonials in our possession
we append the following: a
M After the experience of months, patients testify
strongly to its eMpaeu. as well as to the ease and free-
dom From Inconvenience with which the instrument Is
worn. With superior advantages, the Elastic Truss
possesses In a high degree ALL requisites and qualifi-
cations claimed for other inventions. I have no hesi-
tation in regarding it as an important means for the
relief and cure of Hernia. ^

Dear Sir—After suffering for thirty years. In my own
person, from the use of evesj 'orgl °' Metallic Ti
the use of eveiw for
a this country and in
your Elastic Truss, t
_ Europe, I, two years
and since that, time I
trlenced comfort and satisfaction, and been
.«o truth, that the Elastic Truss is the only In-
.. _ment that should be used for the relief and cure of
riernia; and now, after more than thirty years* con-
tinuous practice, and havlnjg adjusted many hundreds
of Trusses (and for the lasr twenty months yours ex-
clusively), I gratefully declare it to be my deliberate
opinion that your Elastic Truss is the only one enti-
tled to the confldence of the public; that elasticity le
the only power at all adapted to the requirements of a
Truss or supporter, and am convinced that yourElas•
tic JVfiss actually cures a large proportion1 or all cases
to which it is applied, not only among children, but in
numerous cases within my own knowledge of natlenta
from 50 to75years of age. H. BVRNHAM, M. 1).,

VINEGAR BITTERS
(■wiiniriTiwiipiiTiY^
Dr. Jr. Walker's California Vliu
8gar Hitters arc a purely Vogctabls
preparation, ruado cliielly.from r,bo na-
tive herbs round ort tho leaver ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
nia, tbe medicinal propertios of which
are extracted therefrom, without the use
of Alcohol. TI10 question 1s almost
daily asked, '• What is tho cause of tho
unparalleled success of Vinegar Br'J-
TBBst" Our answer is, that thny remove
tho cause of disease, and tho patient re-
covers his health. They are tho great
blood purifier and a lifo-gi#ing principle,
■\ perfect Renovator and Invigorator
uf the system. Never before In tho
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Vinhoar Bitters in healing th«
s.ck of every distase limn is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgativo as Well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation ol
the Liver ana Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Eta. Walker's
Vinegar Bittkrs are Aperient. Diaphoretic
Carminative, Nutritious," Laxative. Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific. Al.era-
Uve. and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim vin-
egar Bitters the most wonderful in-
vigorant that ever sustained tho sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones aro not de-
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wastod beyond
repair.
Bilious. R«mittent and Inter-
mittent Fevers, which are so preva-
lent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
thoso of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan-
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro-
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea-
sons of anusual heat aud dryness, p.re
invariably accompanied by extensive Je-
rangements of the stomach and iiver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow-
erful influence upon these various or-
gans, is essentially necessary. There,
is no catliartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove tho dark-
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, the same time
stimulating the secretiohs of the liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of tho digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can tako hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head-
ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of tbe Stomach, Bad Taste
in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita-
tation of the Heart, inflammation of tha
Lungs, Pain in tho region of the Kid-
neys, and a hundred other painful symp-
toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will provo a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise-
ment.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, Wliitb
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammation*, Iwloler.t
Inflammations, Mercurial AU'ectioriR, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc.
In these, as in all other constitutional Dis-
eases, Walker's,Vinhoar Bittkrs havo
shown their great curative powers in tho
moBt obstinate aad intractablo cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit-
tent and Intermittent Févors, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blad'ier,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en-
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, aud
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of the' Bowels. To guard
against this, tako a dose of Walkkr's Vin-
es as Bitters occasionally.
For SKin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet-
ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
PXistules, Boils, Catbuneles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of tho Skin, llumors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatover r.aine
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of tbe system rn a short time by the use
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
lurking in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and remoVed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an-
thelminitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of Wo-
manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Yitiated Blood when-
ever you find its impurities bursfug tnr~~.gh
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, ór Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foulyour feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and tbe health of the system
will follow.
