INTERROGATION. Did you ever think, when you meet and drink. Men of the country, men of the town, That women's tears and children's fears From your crystal glasses are draining down ? That hopes so high are doomed to die, Drowned in the liquor you long to taste ? That grand ambitions, and lofty missions, And admonitions are going to waste f That a demon dire, with fanes of fire. Lurks in the wine-cup's sparkling foam. While serpents of death, with fetid breath, Are poisoning Youth, and nope, and Home ? Pleasure you sought what has it brought ? Has it not lost you friend on friend ! Do not delay; dash it away Ere it shall compass its awful end t Edward E. Kidder, in National Advocate. OU.Gcllcld. . - r , PUDDING SAUCE.

This is well made half quince andhalf apple. HOW TO CLEAN LAMPS. The common cause of the smelling of lamps is the clogging of the tiny airholes at the base of the burner un der the cap, and the crusting on the inside of the cap. The airholes may be clear for a little , while by washing the burner in hot soap suds, but this will have no effect upon the crust in the cap. It will be as firm as ever. To look at the inside of the cap there doesn't seem to be anything there, for the crust is burnt on to the brass so evenly and smoothly that it is, to all appearances, a part of the cap. ; To clean the burner thoroughly, put in an old tin which can be kept for this kirfd of work, cover with, water, throw in a lump of washing soda about the size of a walnut, put oh the stove and let all boil together about ten minutes. Remove the burner from the water and wipe dry with an old cloth or paper. If it has been neglected for any length of time, on the inside of the cap will be found the crust so softened that a slight rubbing with a cloth will remove it. When thor oughly juried tle urner will be nearly as clean and nice-as -when first taken from the store. The soda very often turns the brass to a dark lead color, giving it an an tique look, (which isj liked by; some; but if the bfigtft brass is preferred this may be restored by rubbing with am monia and whiting. If soda is not convenient boil it in ood strong soap sudsand'it will clean it very well 1 If burners are cleaned in this way once 1 1 1 . every two weexs, wnicn is not too often, they will not get out of order as easily and . will last a great deal longer, J besides insuring a bright, clear light, free from any olicnsivet odor. HOW TO BLEND AND MAKE COFFEE. A leading caterer of this city, whose experience in the line of his business has been extensive, and who now holds a lucrative position in one of our lead ing restaurants, recommends the fol lowing for blending and making good coffee: For flavor, Java coffee is best. For strength,, take Mocha. Blend in the proportion of 1 to 3; that is to 4 ounces of Mocha add 12 ounces of Java, and von- will have a beverage brown, fragranVanci delicious fit for anyjoccasjon. ;, ; r,m i - The' rtileS fdr making : .Take one quart of boiling water: a cup two- thirds full of the ground coffee; mixedM wiM4weggand 'itsshell.
