son that it vas not good for him to be
alone Hence she was formed as his
equal, his companion, his friend and help,

man was made of rib out of the side,
not out of his head to control him, or his
foot to be trampled on by him Man and
woman are God s work. and their unicn

their happiness and comfort, making them
one. Life is varied with joys and sor
rows, pleasures and Affections. In all
these the union of man and woman en-
ables each to derive more happiness and

TEERE is place in Oregon called the
Smoky Valley, where the people have
very curious way of cooking. They do
not have the trouble of making a fire
every morning when they wished to get
breakfast. They just walk oSt with
their kettles, coffee pots, and whatever
else they need, and cook at the boiling
spring. The water seems a great deal
better than common boiling water, and
all they need to do is to hang their ket-
ties in it for short time, and their food
is nicely cooked. They are able even to
bake in it The broad il put into a
tight saucepan. and lowered into the boil
ing food for an hour or two. and then
drawn up most exclusively baked, with
but thin rim on the crust over it. Meat
is cooked here, and beans, which are the
miners great luxury. 1t takes but
minute to cook eggs, or to make a pot of
coffee or tea but If there should chance
to be "slip 'twixt the cup and the lip"
the food would be gone beyond recovery.

Lining Fruit Trees.

The periodical lining of fruit-trees is
generally considered as .erv icsable,
especially in keeping down the ravages
of the insects which fuJ their home in
the first fshures of the bark. 1t is also
important that the operation should be-
likewise extended to The main branches.
For the purpose in question, white-wssh
has generally been used. causing deeid-
ed wilderness of the tree, VII ch is object
ed to by many persons on the score of tie
unsigh,ly appearance and the readiness
with which the lime becomes detached.
It has been shown, however, by exper-

suits from the use D colorless linn. water,
which every one knows how to prepare
with uuslscked lime, and which, when ),
set led and become clear. can be poured
off and used as above indicated. In this
way repeated applications can be made
without affecting the appearance of the
