Al NEW LUNURy.-The ladies fl
some of our Iowa towns, during the
house cleaning era, are inviting theil
/ gentlemen friends out to "carpe
3 shakes" A crusty bach at our ell
bow, who has never realized the
blessed experience of shaking carpets
! and putting up stove-pipes, wishes tc
be excused. He wouldn't be if we
could help 1t.
A CHANCE FOR BARGAINs.-Cole
; d TAFT have received such an inn.
mense stock'of Wal. Paper that they
are Obliged TO sell at extremely low
figures to keep it from spelling.
Seventeen eastern paper manufac-
turers are obliged to add more force
in order to meet the demand, mainly
owing to the call upon them for pa
per by Cole & TAFT.

Some chap who attended q spring
opening of fashionable millinery in
Chicago, gives this as an Item: A
cabbage leaf trimmed with three red
peppers. and dried cherry sells for
SS5. It's called jockey. Has one
great advantage-can be eaten as
salad when the fashion changes.
One composed of three signs and a
bit of pink colored fog was consider

i SoUND.-The Iowa School Super
intendents Convention at its late
session in Des Moines, resolved to
ask the next legislature to amend the
school law so as to exclude from the
public schools all children under six
years of age. Good! Now let them
put two more years on to their re-
quest and the teachers and friends of
education will say amen to it. They
also passed resolution abolishing
private examinations of teachers. =
REAR IN FRoNT.-A respectable
old lady was walking along q coun-
try road one day, when suddenly her
Indignation was aroused on behold
ing the untidy abode of small
farmer who had heap of ashes and
refuse in front of his house, where
upon the old lady exclaimed: "'Dear
me! dear me! how do hate to see a
house with its rear in 'front.' There
is short sermon in that, and If any
of eur readers wish to profit by it,,
they have our consent.

A LARGE ORCHARD. Sanford
Peck, an experienced fruit grower,
living a few miles west of Cedar
Falls, within the borders of Grundy
county, has furnishing and fruitful
orchard of eight hundred apple trees.
His experiments i'm fruit raising have
demonstrated to him, and all others
who have seen his orchard, that ap-
Piles of the best quality and in great
abundance, can he raised i'm Iowa as
welias in Southern Illinois or Mich
lgan.
GOOD SUGGEsTIoN.-The Reporter
suggests to some enterprising man,
the establishment of hack line be-
tween Waterloo and Cedar Falls.
The distance is about the same as
from Marion to Cedar Rapids, where
they make two trips daily, and it
pays. 1t would certainly be a great
convenience during the summer sea-
son, and court time more especially.
To go to Waterloo by cars, with the
present time table, requires the loss
OF q whole day from, business. sf
BE CAREFUL OF TIREs.-The resi-
dence of ID. G. Williams, in the
southern part of town, caught fire
last Monday morning, from the stove
pipe running through the roof Of the
summer-kitchen. Prompt assistance
was given by the neighbors, and the
flames were extinguished in time to
save the property. A few minutes
more start would have laid the house
in ashes, in defiance of all efforts to
stop, it. Too much caution cannot
be taken, particularly during these
windy spring days.
LUcK.-A practical observer re-
marks that people who "go in for
luck" rarely get IL without they car .
ry with them a stout heart, deter
mined head, and a working hand.
Luck in itself Is a myth. Successful
people may be called lucky, but their
success is, ninety-nine times out of a
hundred, legitimate result of care
fully and sagaciously laid plans. Go
in for luck If you will, but unless
you take with you the productive
materials, you will come out with
your feathers plucked to the skin.
| Observation-Disclosures, CT the
Waverly Repttbticdn, inodestfy ex-
presses his opinion of delinquents in
the following manner: "We wouldn't
say word to hurt you feelings, for
fear that you would withdraw your
patronage, (which means that you
wouldn't allow us to spend any more
money for your benefit,) but we must
be permitted to state our solemn con-
viction, that the most comprehen-
sive scheme of salvation ever devised
by universalist don't include the
soul of him who dies i'm debt to the
printer"
| Bon ToN.-That's the name of "a
new coffee pot, just received by q.
l.. Mills, our exclusively and, en-
lphatically straight crockery dealer.
Henry Ward Beacher advised lady
friend to make coffee just as the eat
ing houses at railroad stations didn't.
He had never then seen, undoubted-
ly, the improved Bon Ton coffee pot,
or he would have advised her to use
one. This new Improvement takes
away the science of making good
