Ease is gained in chairs, tongues, etc.

Bedsteads with no footboards have

chiefly the antique reproductions OF

Wrought iron furniture is in high

The question of setting up a new

Grafton, is for the Wheeling convention
to adopt resolutions holding the Rich

The question is whether the northwest

secession, or leave and form an entirely
new State.
Hereafter the Adams Express Co. will
not be allowed to carry matter across
the Potomac River. An order issued by
Brig. Gen. James K. Mansfield from

So. Gerry Nye refused to cast his vote
for William S. Ware when the Pennsyl-

And 1t was Gerry Nye who offered the

Barely 80 years old, Senator Nye Is
one of the outstanding members of the

A long controversy in the Senate over

his foot hit that can 1t made q ire

whistling as he walked, When he
reached the bushes he gave the can q

What to Save,

There Is something of the nomad and
something of the permanent settler In
most of us. The nomad in us bids us
discard unnecessary possessions, while
the permanent settler bids us hoard and
save and accumulate. Some women
give the nomad the upper hand and
save too little, while others save all sorts
Of junk that should be thrown away.
If there had never been any savers
we should have no antiques, no curios,
no visible records of the life of our an
cestors, or at least only such things as
had accidentally managed to escape the
general weeding-out process.
One should discard with Judgment
and save with Observation-Disclosures this
is precisely what some women do. They
never throw away receipted bill, a
Cancelled check or bank statement,
and yet never think to save the re-
vealing first letter written by a son or
daughter in college, which would prove
so entertaining in years to come.
Every one in the course of a lifetime
receives a score of more of letters that
ought to be saved-clever letters, anus
ing letters, letters that will be priceless
records of family life in years to come,
and yet letters of this sort are so seldom
saved that they are priceless family
treasures when we come across them
among old papers.

Dressing Up Rice.
One Mother Says:

One Mother Says:
I like to serve rice quite often for
supper as it is light yet quite nourishing
and easy to prepare. But the children
got so tired OF 1t with just cream and
sugar or eaten with butter, in place OF
potato. so now floss 1t up a bit. I
sometimes add grated orange peel while
it Is cooking. and this gives IL a deli
cious orange favor, or I will make 1t
into pudding with brown sugar, milk
and raisins, or make a white sauce with
melted cheese in 1t and put the rice
into this and bake in the oven. Any
one Of these ways of cooking seems to
add enough variety to 1t 50 that the
children do not get tired Of 1t.
