To MAKE SOAP WITH PoTAsH.-Allow six
teen pounds each OF grease and potash for a
barrel OF soap. The grease should be such as
has been well taken care OF, viz, tried before
1t became wormy or mouldy. The potash
should be about the color of pumice-stone.-
That which is red makes dark soap, unfit for
washing clothes. Cut up the grease into
pieces OF two or three ounces, put il into
tight barrel with the potash; then pour in two
pailfuls OF rain or spring water The soap
will be soonest made by heating the water.
but IL Is just as sure to be good if made with
cold water. Add pailful Of soft water every
day. until the barrel is balf full, and stir il
well each day. A long stick with cross
piece at the lower end, Is convenient fer the
purpose. When the barrel is half full, add no
more water for week or ten days, but con-
tinue to stir it daily. Afler that, add pail
fnl day, until the barrel is full. 1t is Il best
way TO keep soap three or four months before
beginning to use It. spends more econom-
ically. and Is less sharp to the hands When
half of it has been used, put two pals of soft
water TO the rest, and stir it up well from the

made with clean greare and good potash, is

washing fsnnels and white clothes than any

Ais Exemption from State or w as

But aside from all the advantages we have emit
meraed, special Act of Congress cyempts all
bonds and Treasury notes from local taxation. On
the average, this exemption is worth about two
per cent, per annum, according to the rate Of taxa
lion in various parts of the country.
1t is believed that no securities offer so great in
ducements to lenders those issued by the govern
mcnt In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith
ability of private parties, stock companies or
separate communities, only is pledged for pay
while the whole property of the country is held to
secure the discharge of all the obligations of the
United States.
While the government offers the most liberal terms
for its loans, it believes that the very strongest APP
peal will be to the loyalty and patriotism of the
people.

with semi-annual interest at the rate of seven and
three-tenths per cent. pcr-annnm, principal and in
terest both to be paid in lawful money.
These notes will be convertible at the option of

ment may elect. They will be issued in denomi-
nations of $50 500, $500, 81, 600 and $4,000,
and all subscriptions must be for fifty dollars or
some multiple OF fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free
Of TRANSFORMATION charges as soon after the receipt Of
the original Certificates of Deposit as they can be
