HOUsEMATDs can save themselves a
great deal Of work by using care in various
ways. A particular nail for each cloth used
about the sink makes it easier to keep the
table at hand in order, and to cleanse the
pots and kettles perfectly, and to make the
pantry shelves neat. When water is
stopped upon the floor if it is wiped up
the rest of the floor is saved from soil
ing. Whole days may be saved in the

The Adventure of Two Oregon Ladies.

THE Portland OJeg0nian tells the follow
ing: Yesterday Mrs. NJ. and Miss c., a
couple Of well-known ladies of KaIama,
went out into the woods back of town to
gather MOSES and leaves for ornamental
work. Busily intent upon the objects of
search, they paid little heed to the route
they travelled, until the approach Of night
warned them Of the necessity of returning.
Looking about, they failed to find the
path by which they came and realized
that they were lost. Every step added to
their bewilderment, and as darkness soon
set in their situation became painfully u
pleasant. Hearing the movements Of
some animal in the brush near them, they
assembled an alder tree with a celebrity that
would astonish the average female. The
animal, whatever it was, remained in the
vicinity ONE time and the ladies re-
manned in the tree, where, with pen
knives drawn, they determined to make
it warm for any foe that might ATTACH
them. About midnightthey heard the well
come shout of Dick Sorter, the veteran
hunter, who was at the head of a party
in search OF them. a few minutes more
and Dick, with his lantern, was at the
tree. The thankfulness of the ladies and
the jOy.Of their friends can be imagined
better than described.

WM. WEIGH, a lawyer and a thinker,
proposes a new rule Of suffrage. His
plan is to allow a citizen forty-two years
of age two ballots, and one sixty-three
years or over, three votes. This would
give the controlling power to men of age
and experience, Those who have accu-
mulated property, who have families
about them, who have given precious
hostage to society for good behavior and
learned wisdom, would have the weight
in public affairs that is given them in the
NATURALIZATION Journal.
