Put the butter in the milk and set them on the back part of the range, or in some warm place where the butter will meit and the milk will not burn; then stir in flour enough to make a dough like that for pound-cake (a good stiff dough); when the flour is well mixed withthe milk and butter, add, beating vigorously, a tablespoonful of yeast.

ACvr or Tea.—Takea clean kettle never used for anything else, fill it with fresh water, the harder the better, boil quickly over a very hot fire, and pour as soon as it buils upon the tea leaves fresh from the canister. When more liquid or a stronger infusion is desired put the additional tea in a cup and pour fresh boiling water cn after it has stood a few-minutes it may then be put in the pot to good advantage. Tea water will not dissolve the theine from the dry leaves ot fresh tea; only pure fresh water will do that. The addition of tea to the nearly empty teapot will increase the color but it will not make the tea stronger in Its exhilerating quality. entific American. Coot.

How to Ger Rip or Back ANTs.—A corres- Pondent asks: ‘How shall I drive black ants from my pantry?” I was afflicted one summer by the arrival of an army, well marshaled, as it appeared, of large black ants. They took pos- session of the pantry and of everything in it. I tried various experiments, but for a time none were successful. At last I hit on this single ex— lient: We carried out every eatable, includ— ing a tightly-covered sugar-box; then we put. temptingly. on the wide lower shelf, a good— sized piece of custard pie. In ten minutes it Was literally filled with ants, which were then easily disposed of. The housewife can decide for herself how this shall be done. Cremation or drowning are recommended. Then we put moist pieces of cake in the same place, and in the course of the afternoon the ants were ex- termineted, with the exception of a few strag— glers, who evidently carried the tidings far and near, for we were never troubled with ants any more.—N. Y. Post. Wuat To bo wira CoLp Muttoy.—Ina small family the oft-repeated question, “What shall be done with the cold mutton?” can be readily avoided by never cooking a leg or loin whole. It is an old-fashioned and mistaken idea that it spoils a leg to cut it. Divide it evenly in two, Temove the bone from the fillet end, and fill the cavity with a carefully prepared veal stuffing; then cord the lap neatly around it, putting portions of stuffing wherever there appears to be @ nollow. and reast or bake, to be served with good brown gravy. The shank end, boiled slowly with turnips and carrots, and served with caper sauce, makes an excellent dish. When a loin of mutton comes from the butcher's. remove the center of it for roasting, and cut up the whole of the tail end, adding to it the two or three first chops for an Irish stew, which is a dish made in many households of the neck and treast of mutton, mets conse- quently neither so nor substantial as that which is patel ry pieces from the loin.— WH.

Different Styics of Cars and Thei® Buitders—TheWar of Competing Com- panies—A Car-buitding Town of Two Year Growth. “s From the N. ¥. Sun. The conveniences and luxuries of rallrcad travel are among the most characteristic of American inventions. The time when a railroad journey was fatiguing has long since passed. The traveler now finds rest and recreation while he rushes at the speed of nearly a mile a min- ute from city to city, or views a continent in a summer jaunt. Great corporations have arisen out of the willingness of the public to pay for comfort, and vast networks of railroads, both in this country and in Europe, bear testimony to American invention and mechanical dexterity in the construction of palace cars for day and night travel. The palatial cars in which James Fisk, jr., and Jay Gould rode on the Erie rail- way liave become the common-places of travel. As early as 1860 sleeping cars were run under the patents of the late Jonas Woodruff by the Central Transportation company. These patents passed into the possession of Pullman's Palace Car company, which has paid a royalty to the Central Transportation company. Before his death Mr. Woodruff constructed a new model for sleeping cara, which obviated the top-heavi- ness caused by storing the bedding under the roof. The bedding is placed in a cellar under- heath the seats of the car. The upper berth fits in against the body of the car, and is drawn out on brackets. Sleepers cost $13,000 each. Drawinz- room or day cars cost about $9,600. There are no patents on the day cars, as they are simply ordinary cars with easy seats. But there are patents on particutar styles of ¢asy seats. he Woodruff Siceping Parlor Coach com- pany has a capital stock of $700,000, and now run 100 cars. all sleepers. It employs about 300 men in its new car shops in Swissvale, near Pittsburg, Pa. Formerly its cars were built mostly at Wilmington, Del. Its routes now cover the C., C., C. and I. railroad, known as the “B” line, making connection, by arrangement with the Wagner company, from New York to St. Louis. The Woodruff cars also run on the St. Louis and Keokuk, Louisville and Chicago, Ohio and Evansville, Chicago and Wisconsin, and Manhattan Beach roads. One style of the parlor cars is familiar to all who have been to Coney Island. The company di- vides its profits with the roads on which its cars are used. A main idea of the palace car business origi- nally was that the railroad companies would take on the palace cars free because they them- selves would save the cost ofrolling stock. But the competition among palace car companies has become so great, and the profits of palace car travel so enormous that several railroad companies have undertaken to build their own cars. The Woodruff company anticipates this tendency by its plan of dividing profits. The eee of the company is Frank Rham, and ohn C. Paul is superintendent ot the eastern business. Arrangements are in progress to put the Gre on the Long Island railroad for summer travel. In the mind of the public the idea of palace car travel is almost always assoclated with the name of George M. Pullman, who, with his as- sociates, has thus far monopolized a yery large share of the palace-car building business, and has accumulated a princely fortune. The first palace car he built was built in 1863 for the Chi- cago and Alton railroad, at a cost of $18,000. Itis yet in use, and is named “The Pioneer.” Pulman’s Palace Car company now runs 800 cars, and covers between 40,000 and 50,000 miles of railroad in this country. For five or six years it has had palace cars running in England, Scotland, and Italy also, and is now building a large number of cars for foreign rail- roads. The cars built about the time of the or- ganization of the company, in 1867, cost from $25,000 to $30,000. They had sixteen wheels. Subsequently the size was reduced, and the cost was redu to $18,000, and from 1874 to 1878 to $14,000. The present cost of a Pullman car is about $16,000, but the progress of the arts has secured greater finish and beauty than ever. The company is now building about 125 new cars. Its routes in this country cover the Erie, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe. Union Pacific, Chicago ‘and Northwestern, Rock Island, and other roads. - The Pioneer and the City of Dubuque were built ig the repair shops of the Chicago and Al- ton road. They were open sleeping cars with- out drawing rooms. They contained all the es- sential elements of the Pullman cars, including the special feature of the triangle roofs for the stowage of bedding by day. The next cars were built in various car shops. As the business in- creased a shop was established at Chicago, where about 1,000 men are now employed. Afterward another Pullman shop was built at Elmira, N. Y., where about 300 men are employed. There are repair bth ee at. West Philadelphia and St. Lor Mo. About a year and a half ago the company began to build the town of Pullman, IL, named after George M. Pullman, where 3,000 men are employed, making 4,500 men in all employed in the shops of the company,which now has a capital of $10,000,000. The story of the town of Pullman reads like a fairy tale. Two years ago Mr. Pullman bough a tract of 300 acres on the shores of Lake Calu- met, a shallow lagoon connected with Lake Michigan by the Calumet river. Beginning in May, 1880, a model industrial town sprang up like’ magic. Since then 25,000,000 bricks, 10,000,000 feet of timber, 1,125,000 feet of floor- ing, and 350,000 superficial feet of glass have been used in the construction of workshops, homes and public buildings. Fourteen miles of railroad track have been laid, and the great Corliss engine of tne Centennial exhibition has been set at_ work, driving all the machinery of the town. The buildings are not cheap wooden editices, but substantial brick structures. The iargest is the front erecting shop and office, 700 feet long and 86 feet deep. The great chimney of the works is of brick, hexagonal in shape, and 200 feet high. The water tower, 70x70 feet and 200 feet high, supports a 500,000 gallon tank, through which the water supply of the town is to be served. The water tower is the base of a sewerage system. Sewage pumps are placed there, and an immense sewage reser- voir. The sewage is pumped through a tight iron pipe to a ree miles away. There are achurch and parsonage, a school house, ‘stores, a public library and theater, and dwell- ings for workingmen’s families. Seven hun- ing "A park and publi. devas have tices aed ing. ant drives have out. On the afternoon of April 2, 1881, Mr. Pullman’s daughter Florence, a girl of 13, set in motion the Corliss engine that drives the machinery of the car works. Other manufac- turing works are building, and the car shops will turn out all sorts of cars. An officer of the Pullman Palace Car company sai “The wean folks have no patents of consequence. fe have ‘itted them to use our patents, for a consideration, on the New York Central and other roads. ie Baltimore and Ohio railroad has been pirating our patents, and we shall bring them to terms. We have about sixty-two patents that cover the various devices for the public comfort in the Pullman cars. Some have expired, some are obsolete, some are of no practical importance, but there are enough left to protect us in the use of the original inventions that,weemploy. We are now going for the big fish who have been in- fringing.

There are now about 250 Wagner cars on the New York Central up. They have private com Tooms, smoking rooms, and will accommodate 45 persons. willingness of wealthy travel- ers to pay for plenty of room often causes a car to be run half arawing-foom car” for" day" tere 7 car are cars of size, fitted up with inte- riors, sad provlied (a with easy chalre per #2 a pound, a supply of damask berth at €30 @ pair, and 5,000 huckabuck towels, There are twelve Allen paper wheels under each car, costing $75 a car, The interior work of the sleeping cars cost $4,500 a car. Each car is fitted with automatic brakes and Miller's safety platforms, is heated by circulating hot water, and is ligtited by oll lainps. The parlor day cars have single seats for thirty persons, a small private room for two, a private room for four. a smoking room, and two toilet rooms. The sleeping coaches have twelve sections, or beds for forty-four persons, a stateroom for three, and the ordinary accessory rooms. The New York and New Haven rallroad com- pany bas twenty-five drawing-room cars and fourteen sleepers running on its road between New York and Boston. All these cars were built in the company’s shops at New Haven, at ‘an average cost of about $15,000. The sleepers have been running since 1862, and the drawifig- room cars since 1867. Wagner cars run over this line on the Shore route, and one train, con- necting at Hartford with the New London rail- road, has Pullman cars. The first drawing- room cars built by the company were two Eng- lish coaches, that ran for three years between New York and Boston. On these coaches there were compartments entered from the side, seat- ing eight persons each. The ends were built with round corners likeacoupe. These cars were burned up, to the great relief af the com- pany. being insured. More modern cars have taken their places. Speaking of the lace cars of this road, Superintendent Schofield said recently: ‘Our cars are not anybody's patent. They are our own. We have built them as the public con- venience required. They are named atter gov- ernors of Connecticut, Ingersoll, Jewett, fe lish, Holly, Hawley and so on. When the names of governors gave out we used the names of Connecticut cities. We find the demand for peace cars for night and day travel increasing. ommercial travelers now want to travel in luxury. We have regular customers who have their favorite cars. There is one man who has been traveling over our road twice a month for fourteen years, between New York and Boston. He has his regular car, and is as much at home there as in his own house. The servants of the company are as familiar to him as his own ser- vants and as attentive. We have many regu- lar customers like that. We have a compart- ment car, part of which may be used by the general public like an ordinary passenger car. The compartment is strictly private. A gentle- man recently brought his sick wife in this car from Brattleboro, Vermont, at a cost of $50 extra, with comfort almost equal to that of Gen. Garfield in his journey from Washington to Elberon. It is a very common thing for special arrangements to be made for carrying sick per- sons in privacy and comfort. Mrs. W. W. Astor was recently carried east over our road when she was confined to bed by illness.” About a year ago the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company, which had previously per- mitted the Pullman cars to run over their road, concluded to use only parlor and sleeping cars of their own. This led to iitigation with Pull- man’s Palace Car company. Mr. Pullman claims that his patents have been infringed. The rail- Toad company claims that it has the right to use its new cars, and, pending the lawsuits, con- tinues to use them. One preliminary suit in Baltimore has been decided in the railroad com- pany's favor. Another suit is pending in Chi- cago. The new Baltimore and Ohio sleepers are built inthe company’s shops at Dayton, Ohio, and oy much resemble the ordinary Pullman cars. They are of various patterns. Some have twelve sections and others fourteen. About thirty-five have been built, and they cost from $12,000 to $15,000. Only a’ few days ago these cars began to run to St. Louis. e extra fare for the sl is $4to Cincinnati, $5 to Chi- cago and $6 to St. Louis. These cars are now run for the Baltimore and Ohio road over the Pennsylvania railroad leaving New York via Jersey City. 3 The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rall- Toad company run palace cars of their own manufacture, but pay royalty to Pullman's com- pany. Over the Savannah, Florida and Western route the Layton cars are used. They resemble the Puliman cars, but are not s0 elaborately finished. On this route there are many dining care, and ordinary cars fitted up with easy chairs and re- clining chairs, center tables and smoking rooms. The ran from Washington to Jacksonville takes thirty hours. A double berth, or one section, from Washington to Charleston Junction, costs $3.50, and a parlor car from the junction to Jacksonville $1.50. The run from New York to Florida can be made in forty-six nours very comfortably. Barnum, Bailey & Hutchinson own 150 cars, which they use for transporting their great show all over the United States. They have special rates from the railroad companies, and their troupes live in the cars. A well-known Wall street man last summer hired a Pullman car for a summer trip of a party of fourteen to San Francisco and return. Everything was fur- nished by Pullman's company. The ellers were switched off at any station they selected, ate and slept in the cars, and were provided with wines, cigars, and amusements at $500 a day for the trip. Col. Mapleson generally takes five drawing-room cars for his trip, with his opera troupe. Adelina Patti recently hired a drawing-room car for ten days. Edwin Booth trequently engages a special car for his route. The Worcester excursion compan: , Rewly or- ganized, undertakes to furnish fully equipped cars with arrangements for parties of any sizeto travel day and night fer any length of time, and with all the conveniences of a hotel. The directors’ cars on all the principal rail- roads are proverbially elegant. Probably the most complete is the one belonging to President Bliss, of the Boston and Albany road, which was recently used by the Jay Gould ‘y in an eastern excursion. The caris fitted up with a kitchen, a refrigerator, a lavatory, a smoking room, pantries, and a fine main saloon. The beds in the saloon are concealed in the daytime by folding seninst the side of the car. There is a iness room supplied with desks and , 80 that the ent may prs his office from one end of the line to the er. A novelty in “homestead cars” is owned by Dr. Dudley, a civil engineer, who has invented a method of recording a profile map of a rail- road while his car isin motion. By a very nious contrivance all the bumps and inequali- ties of the road are recorded as the train pro- ceeds. The car was originally built for the Phila- delphis and Wilmington road, but has gradu- ally won its way into use on many other roads for purposes of inspection. The doctor and his wife live in the car, and his long rolls of manila Paper maps have come to be an important tac- tor in railroad archives. ———_~--____ Mr. Blaine Mlustrates a Point, From the Washington Correapondence of The Buffalo Business called me to ex-Secretary Blaine's house the other day, and in the course of con- versaton he spoke of the annoyances to which the speakér of any legislative body is subject, and how necessary it is that one should be not only a thorough parliamentarian, but very clear- headed and even-tempered. “I once knew,” said he, “down in Angusta, Maine, a man by the name of Pike.

He scarifled the old place and applied the stone. It stuck on him three hours first, then ten or fifteen minutes, and then would not stick longer; says it was hard to shake off when it took hold and until it absorbed all the poison, then it dropped off it- self. He said he had no faith when he went, but now I satisfled it 1s n0 humbug, but a liv- ing trath, as all will testify who tried it. He tells us that when he arrived there he found a gentleman with three children, who had been bitten by a rabid dog—a little girl bitten in the breast by a rabid dog through her-clothes, and a boy in the leg through his pants. The stone would not adhere to either of them. The gen- tleman and other child, who were bitten in the hand, the stone stuck on—on the gentleman five hours and on the child about two hours. The theory of its not sticking on the two children Is that the virus was cleaned from the dog's teeth in going through the clothing. —— The Quickest Yet. From the N. ¥. Post. The Alaskais still engaged in the pleasant and exciting work of beating herself. Several of her recent passages were shorter than any ever be- fore made; and her latest voyage to Queenstown was accomplished in six days, nineteen hours and twenty-five minutes, cutting down by two hours her own best previous record. Captains of other vessels, looking with generous admira- tion upon these remarkable performances, seem to inquire not whether there is any ship in the Atlantic merchant fleet which can out- strip the Alaska, bat whether she will now be content without still turther reducing her own time. The history of steamship naviga- tion shows a great advance in this respect, but it is comparatively a little while since very great speed was attained on the ocean. Regu- larity and certainty were rather at first the aim of the Atlantic steamers. Inthe year 1850, for cane, the average Nore, between New York and Liverpool occupied fifteen days. Sailing vessels have made much better time than that. During the intervening thirty years the gain has been steady, though sometimes slow. In 1855 the time had been cut,down to fourteen days.

The record shows an, average of about 13 days in 1860 and about 113¢ in 1865. The appearance of the City of Paris,.of the Inman line, was fol- lowed by greater. speed. In November, 1867, she made the voyage in 8 days, 8 hours and 1 minute. Up to 1675 the best time was that of the City of Brussels, which ran from New York to Queenstown, in December, 1869, in 7 days, 20 hours and minutes; but the average in 1870 was 8 days and,10 hours, and in 1875 it was 8i¢ days, .In September of the latter year, however, the City of Berlin made an outward. voyage in 7 days, 18 hours and 2 miputes, and q homeward voyage in 7 days, 15 hours aed 48,minutes. In October she surpassed herself in an eastward ron of 7 days, 14 hour and 12 minutes. The Germanic an Britannic, of the White Star Line, also made notable voyages, if, indeed, they did not claim the “broom.” The best average work has been done by the Guion ships, the Arizona and Alas- ka, about 7 days, and the City of Rome, 4 days. There is a popular impression that greal speed involves great danger, from collision,etc., though the late Cunard Commodore, Captain Judkins, is reported to have said that if your ship does run into another the faster she is going the better—for you and her at least. The answer to these protests, however, is that accidents have certainly not increased in pro- portion to speed. —————— ‘Two Home Thrusts, From the Dayton (Ohiv) Democrat. A young man seated beside an elderly passen- ger on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton train yesterday morning made considerable sport in a quiet way of the hat of a lady near them, At last his elderly companion replied: “That lady is my wife, sir; and I told her that every fool who saw the ‘hat would make sport of it; but she wouldn't believe me, and insisted on wearing it.” The young man stammered an apology and retreated to the amoking car.
