Wanted to Settle.

Among the passengers in a stage

road-agents in Montana, was a Buffalo

out of the coach, and, as he was or

If you are afraid your yeast cakes
are little stale, put one of them in
cup of warm water with good pinch
of hops; let this stand for an hour or so
before using; it will have an excellent
effect on the yeast, and will insure good

1t is said that tomato plants can be
raised from slips OR cuttings as easily
as many of our house plants. If SO, the
farmers wife can take few slips in the

vanced than the seedlings grown in hot
beds.
Lace or muslin drapery for the
windows add so much attraction to a
room that it pays to have them if one
can afford it, and very pretty curtains
are now comparatively inexpensive.
The scrim with strips of drawn work
are very durable, and if trimmed on the
edge with suitable lace an excellent
effect is productivity y Post. ,.-r &.
Great care should be taken in seed
ing with clover to leave no gaps, for
they will inevitably be covered with
weeds, a worse than useless waste of
ground. 1t is good plan to lap the
seed a trifle, and then SOW cross-wise,
to make sure that all is evenly distrb-
uted. A peck per acre, sown four quarts
each way, gives a good stand.-TOLedO

A small economy, but one not to be
despised, especially in large families, is
to save bits OF toilet soap when they
begin to waste. When pint or even
half pint is collected, put in bowl,
add boiling water and STIR Set away,
and, as it evapOrates add little boiling
water and stir well. Do this every
day till all the Jumps have disappeared.
Then add few drops of oil of CHINA
man or oil of cologne. Wet deep, mar.
row pan in cold water, pour in the soap
and leave it to mold. After two or
three days turn it out and leave to dry.
The result will be an acceptable toilet
soap.-ETchdnge.

of your paper of few weeks age, stating
that the wishes of the late Gen. Luther
A. Cole, in regard to place of burial, &C.,
had been fully complied with, appears to

my knowledge, this day, that but short
time before his departure for Denver, in
conversation with friend, he expressed
the hope that when his last summons
should come and he be called to his final
account, his remains might find final
resting place in Oak Hill Cemetery, this
city, and at the same time gave directions
as to the part this friend should play at
bis funeral, which was to sing a certain
favorite song of his at the head Of the
procession as it was moving from the gate
Of the cemetery to the grave. 1t proba-
bly, makes no difference to tie dead as to
where his weary limbs found a LAST rest
