2sOT ALWAYS APPRECIATED. The country newspapers have manv faults. They make many blunders and leave undone many good works: Yet when you follow them month after month you are gtruclc with the unanimity with which they stand loyally by their community and the constancy with which they preach the doctrine of citizenship and fair play in all things. Alto Herald. Nothing more true than the above. There is not a paper in the state but can be found week out and week in tryng to build up its town. In building up a town the work results in building up the business of the individuals in it. When a newspaper fight's for good laws and their observance, when it fights for better sidewalks, when it fights for anything which will re dound in good to the public, it is fighting for the improvement of the merchant's business and for the increase of wealth and comfort of that merchant. Just how the mer chant appreciates this'is shown by the advertisements in the paper of the man who is doing the fighting for him. Sad to say, in some cases it looks from the advertisements as if some merchants do not appreciate what the newspaper man is doing for them. If any one does not think that the newspaper is an absolute necessity to towns, all he has to do try to remember any town that has a name outside of its precinct and yet has no newspaper. Galveston News. HOUSEHOLD NOTES. Unique Monthly. Good cement is made by melting common alum in an old spoon over the fire. It is especially useful for uniting glass and metal. For cleaning ivory piano keys or knife handles use a preparation of two-thirds alcohol to one-third sweet oil.' It is also good to remove ink stains from wood. Cold milk should never be added to mashed potato, which it will make heavy. Only hot milk, but not boiled, should be used. To get jelly out of glasses whole, wet the glass with cold water before filling, and before taking out run a knife around the edge; do not run it any further down, turn the glass on its side and turn it around in your hand to let it fall loose from the sides, and if your jelly is fine you will have no trouble about its coming out whole. For burns apply equal quantities of linseed oil and lime water. It is an excellent remedy. A bottle ready mixed should always be kept in the house ready for an emergen cy. HAM BALLS. One cup finely chopped lean ham, one-half cup bread crumbs, two eggs; mix together, shape into balls and fry. PRINCESS POTATOES. Cut cold mashed potatoes into strips about two inches long, an inch wide, and half an inch thick, Dip first in melted butter and then in a beaten egg; lay in a buttered tin, and bake in a hot oven for about twelve minutes. USE FOR STALE BREAD. A good way to use stale bread is to fry it, simply dipping it in cold water before putting it in the greas ed fryingpan. This should brown nicely if the fat is very hot, and is liked by many as well as if dipped Into, beaten egg. Serve with sweet sauce as a pudding. APPLE CUSTARD. Stew tart apples and run them through the colander. To one pint of this smooth apple sauce add four wellbcaten eggs, half a cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of butter and a little lemon juice or other flavor ing desired. Stir in a pint of rich milk and bake. A story is told of a lawyer whose quick wit never . deserted him, whether in office or court. One day a client entered the office, and throwing back. his coat, said, irrit ably: "Why, sir, your office is as hot as an oven." "Why shouldn't It be?" .was Ihe calm response. "It is here that I make my bread." Tit-Bits. BARGAINS' SN LAND.
