COPS HERoEs-There is a higher
courage than the daring of the battlefield,
and a greater fortitude than the stoicism
of the Indian under..torture. The army of
heroic martyrs includes many others than
those who suffered at the rack o. the stacks
The following beautiful tribute is from the
North British Review: Here are Goods
heroes" the heroes of the sick chamber,
and the vigil by the cradleside; the heroes
of poverty and the workshop; of silent,
patient endurance, having learned through
much tribulation that waiting and suffering
are their destined work the heroes of
long-suffering, forbearance, and charity, or
of victory over pain, of the unostentatious
seA-denial of the household the lowly
toiling men and women climbing mounts
of sacrifice under heavy crosses, without a
human hand held out in sympathy; the
noble army of martyrs who have found and
follow the Masters footprints in the daily
round of human duties, transfguring that
despised, circumscribed, care encountered
life of theirs into living testimony to the
truth of Christ's evangel; the lonely suf-
ferers, priests of heavenly conservation,
offering the sacrifices of praise in garret
and cellar men and women far from stim-
ulating delights of successful activities, CO
workers with Christ, sowing in hope the
seed whose increase they shall never reap
"the sacramental host of Gods elect,
ever ascending with songs most jubilant
from the faithful performance Of earth's
lower ministries to the perfect service Of
the sanctuary, with the perennial and un.
hindered praise. They are passing W
through the gates of the morning into the
city without temple, and it is for othel
fingers than ours to weave the amarantf
round their lowly brows.

Directions,

Fill the boiler with soft water to within about
three inches of the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.
Bring the water to boil, and then place the
clothes in the hot water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
boils over raise the lid.
Keep up hvt fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out and Immediately SUDS them
through in soft water. If any shade of the dirt
remains few rubs will take it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water wiring dry, and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.
The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler 1t is of vital Importance to THOR
0UGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order to FRO
duee rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted as dirty shirts, for instance. will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.
Articles much soiled may be left in for second
boiling. White fannels may be beautiful washed
without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water.
Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,
and unless the coors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate laees,
cambrics. &c, such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fectly without injury, by this process The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "broken," F"
water. is so well understood as to hardly need
mention here.
No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wristbands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
apv other device Should shade or streak remain,
it will be found to be reduced and softened as to
disappear without the use of wash board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
nrocess of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this new process which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during
SINGLE wear. in almost any family to say nothing
of the important consideration cf saving labor.

SeIf-Operating
Clothes Washer and Boiler
PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented.
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast.

There are but few inventions discoveries
which produce a complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradiced by the ex-
perence of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
cated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement
Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six. months and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five q onths, from stand and at this time
the orders reach about hundred day. Ne
one used it as directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
zens of the United States but the best reeommen-
daton is to take the boiler and it yourself Dc
just as you are directed and you will be than
satisfied. 1t appeals to us all a matter of econ
| omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of al
| investment. 1t will return a yearly dividend il
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on tb,
money invested. For instance, will suppose
your wnlte ciutnlng such as bed and table linen
ladies' and gentiemens' wear, and childrens' cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washel in this way by the old method
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing II
or 200 per cent. annually. There is family
scarcely but spends more than here stated; but this
is taken as a very low average of this branch o
family expense. Added to this is the great con
venence and comfort of the thing, which, all takeI
together makes it a luxury which no family car
well afford to be without
This Boiler sells the best Of any article offer
ed to the public. Anybody after trying it farl,
will not let it go out of of the house.

The Old Time Country Garden.

In an interesting paper on " Flower Gar
dens and Flowers" in the Old Guard fo1
April, we find the following graphic account
Of the old-fashioned country flower garden as
it existed twenty or thirty years since We
are afraid that there are few more of the
same sort left, though the paper in question
will do a good deal towards their improve
ment:
Every one remembers the old country gar
den-a little piece of ground, possibly hun
dred feet, inclosed with picket or puncheon
fence. and taken care of mainly by the female
part Of the household. Beyond the mere
rough digging or. perhaps, merely plowing
III the spring. its cultivation and manage
ment were assigned to the women, the Aen
d boys thinking it beneath their dignity to
attend TO anything petty. 1t was gener
ally kitchen garden also. Here were grown
the peas and beans, the lettuces and cab
bages. the beets and carrots, the onions and
crook-neck early squashes, consumed by the
family. Along the fences were currants and
rows of pot-herbs-the golden pot marrigold,
thyme, sage. majoram and summer savory
The flowers were conventionally. of the same
sort everywhere. Here was bed of old
fashioned pinks, with reddish lilac blossoms
and silver green foliage; there a patel o
johnny -jump-ups a few scattered lady-slip
pers, single, and mere given to leaf and stalk
than to blossom a stool of blue flags. and
another of yellow and brown lilies; few
single hollyhocks, and. proudly towering
over the rest, the tall and Haunting sunfower
This was all mt some distance from the house
the space around which was open, and orna
mented with the woodpile, the well, the ash
hopper and dog house. Such were thu
gardens, and such the country houses, o
years ago.

Try Soil FOR WINE.-The grapes from
which the famous Johnnisburger wine (the
finest and highest priced wine in the world
is made, are said to be grown on hillside,
where the soil, especially at and about the
time of ripening, is like solid cake of clay.
Wine-growers in this State, who do not al
ready recognize the fact, have yet to learn
that, in producing good wine, the roots of
the vine cannot be kept too dry at least from
surface moisture. The roots should 60 down
deep into the soil. A rocky bottom, in a
volcanic or metamorphic region. is the bes
-one full of seams which the roots can pen
citrate, so as to derive their moisture, chargd
with mineral salts, instead of depending up
the surface moisture, which has not yet taken
up from the earth the salts which appear to
be 80 essential to the production of perfect
wine grape. The vine should never be al
lowed to receive artificial irrigation after it
has come into bearing during its early
growth even, only sparingly.

Crops IN IDAHo.-The Idaho City
Void of May 18th says: "From all the

The Spring has been fine one for the
farmers, and they have taken full advant-
