We see it stated that movement has
been started among the Masonic fraternity
for the purpose of completing the long
neglected Washington Monument It is
a burning shame that this tribute to the
memory Of the great and good Washing
ton has been permitted to drag along
through SO many years unfinished. NJ
merous reasons have from time 10 time
been given for this apparent neglect. =
Sometimes we hear that the ground on
which the colamu stands is low and mar.
,hy. and otherwise untitled for such a
testimonial. Again it is sometimes urged
that The Capital of The nation will one day
be removed from its present location. in
which case Washington City would sink
into otscnrity.


To the FIRST objection we would say. il
the ground is unsuitable. take down the
present erection and remove it to some
grounds which is suitable, then go on and
finish it 10 tho other wo will. il be per.
nlittedto indulge in little prophecy, say,
that it anticipates result so far remote.
that this generation at least will not be
able TO 6nd ii in au excuse for delaying or
postponing duty long since due to the
Father of their country.


We are glad to know that our Masonic
brethren have asked permission Incomplete
this monument. as we are well assured
they are able and willing to fulfill any
thing they undertake. What is every.
b'dy's business, is most generally noboly's
business and appears to be the case
with the unfortunate Washington Monu.
ment Therefore we say. let the Masonic
fraternity undertake lis completion, and il
will not be long until its last stone is laid.

cation will be changed il found to be un-

INK STAINs.-Ink stains may be re- moved from mahogany by touching them with feather dipped in a mixture com- posed of few drops of nitre and 8 teaspoonful of water. To $ prevent 8 white mark being left, the spot must be rubbed with cloth wet in cold water the moment the ink has disappeared.

 BUTTER, CHEESE AND MILK.-If sixteen quarts of milk are required to make 8 pound of butter, and ten quarts pound of cheese, and butter is twenty-five cents a. pound and cheese twelve cents, it is more profitable to make butter butter yielding fraction over one and @ half cents quart, and cheese fraction less than one and a quarter cents.

 Moss IN PASTURES OR MEADOWS. This is always found on poor knolls or wet flats. The remedy in the first case is to harrow until the moss is torn up, and spread load of manure and little lime. In the second place, drain off the water, and harrow and spread lime or plaster, and salt or ashes. Get rid of the water, strengthen the soil, and moss will be no further trouble.

 VERY NICE FEATHERS may be made by simply rolling the plain dough (after it has risen of >course) and cutting and frying as doughnuts, to be eaten with sirup or sauce. By putting lump of risen dough into pudding bag, tying, leaving room to swell, put into pot of boiling water, and boiling an hour or more, according to size, you have an ex- cellent plain pudding, but it should be eaten with rich sauce.

 BOXERS IN APPLE TREES. -E. F. D., asks Hearth & Home, if there is any way to prevent borers from entering apple trees. The best plan is to wrap the base of the trunk with tarred roofing paper. A piece foot or more wide is wrapped around the tree, the lower edge of the paper extending just below the surface of the soil. Before this is applied the trees should be examined to ascertain that borers have already entered. Should any be found they must be probed out or cut out.

 SHELTER THE STooK.-The season has arrived when it is positive cruelty to permit beast to stay out of doors for a single night. A sense of justice to these animals, which exist only for our use, if he does not consult his own interest, should impel every farmer immediately to put every stable and shed on the farm into proper condition, to fasten all loose boards, close all open windows, and make his stock snug and comfortable. There's money in it too, as he will find. Even his hens will lay better if kept warm. .5E.2 f-su v

 FEED FOR CATTLE AND HoRsEs. thrifty animal will consume about three per cent of it's hve-weight in fodder daily. For COW of 800 pounds, twenty-four pounds of hay should be provided. But it has been abundantlv proved that when this hay is cut, wetted, and mixed with the allowance of meal two to four quarts) eighteen pounds daily is ample to keep an ordinary COW in good condition. The difference then is the amount saved, which is equal to one fourth. This represents the gain in digestibility oi the food by the method of preparing it. In practice the gain is greater, because no waste can occur in using cut feed while in using long hay much is always wasted.

iO A Cape God correspondent of the Bos- ton Watchnaan aud Rgaector writes of Mackerel fishing as follows :-

 The lines, of which each man manag- es two, are all thrown from the starboard side of the vessel, this being, perhaps, because the fishermen of Galilee once met with remarkable success when they "cast the net on the right side of the ship" In regard to the time of fishing, we are at the mercy of the capricious mackerel themselves. Sometimes they come promptly "alongside and remain there for several hours, while again we hear many times in @ day the prepara- tory "heave to, but not followed by the more quickly spoken ' fish, ho !" and the exciting drumming in the emp ty barrels of thesnewly taken fish. But when. they bite rapidly, the spoat is I've Iy enough, and each man has to look well to his lines. We three ' greenies D. stood side by side, and sometimes when the lively mackerel on our hooks would dart about like weaver's shuttle, it would result in all six of our lines being drawn in by onerof the party, in state of entanglement very trying to ones pa hence. This the old salt very appro- priately denominates "quilting" On I drew in 8 fish and was about to strike him off into my barrel when I found that both my neighbors' lines were wound securely around the tail of the fish, which caused-a @ strong tendency towards the next barrel. Between us both the poor mackerel had hard time of it, for it was not until we cut off his tail that my friends lines would give up their hold upon him. Such vexations the experienced fisherman avoids.

ST10KINa TO ONE P1AN-Farmers get discouraged sometimes by occasional gluts, low prices, and over-production Every one must expect this but it will generally be found true that those farm CTS who expect only fair profits, who aim to raise good crops, by taking good care of fair supply of farm animals, and lay out good plan and stick to it, year by year, through good or evil, will, in the long run, make the most money, over those who shift their crops with every tide of speculation.

One dollars worth of SHERIDAN's CAVALRY CONDITION POWDERS, given to such as stock occasionally during the winter, would be worth more than an extra half ton of hay.

Editors AppeGl.-When the great
Whig party enunelated through their
leader Henry Clay, that they would
invoke war, pestilence and famine
on our country rather than be subject
to the rule OF a military chieftain, lit
was good doctrine, but which at the
time did not apply to General Jack
son, who provedto be an able states
man, but which is amply proved to
be good doctrine by the curse of the
rule of General Grant.


The Whig party for the sake of eX-
pediency departed from this rule in
1910 by running General Harrison in
consideration Of his military fame and
which was the first backset the party
got, Notwithstanding they carried the
election.


In lS4S they made another depart
ure by running General Taylor, and
elected him on his military fame, and
made another splendid failure.


In 1852, that same old gallant
party went down forever by nOmina-
ting for the Presidency General Win
field Scott. All three Of these nomina-
tiOns were departures from their best
doctrines. The consequence was that
nine -tenths Of the Whig party North
went over to the abOlitiOnists and the
remnant came to the Democratic
party.


Now, / would say 10 all Democrats,
Conservatives, or by what ever name
you choose to call yourselves that il
you wish TO succeed hold on to your
principles. II you are right will
finally accomplish your purposes, but
if you depart from your principles and
indorse the Radical wrongs perpetra-
ted by our rulers for the last few years,
and adopt them for yours merely for
the sake of success, you will sink so
low that the resurrection viii not find
you. Mr.. Clay said, and indOrse

SWEET Oh FOR POIsoNs.-A PLAIN
farmer says 1t is now twenty years
since | learned that sweet oil would
cure the bite of q rattlesnakc, not
knowing that it would cure any other
poison, both OH man OF beast. Think
no farmer should be without bottle
of it in the house. The patient must
take spoonful of it internally, and
bath the wound for a cure. TO cure a
horse it requires eight times as much
as it docs for man. Here let me
say, of one of the most extreme cases
of snake-bites in this ncighborhood
eleven years ago this summer
where the case had been of thirty days
standing, and the patient had been
given up by his physicians. l heard
of il, and carried the oil and gave one
spoonful, which effected a cure. Ii

nine. 1t will cure bloat i'll cattle

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
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 contradicted by the
perience 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-
ciated as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in 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 onths, from stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Nc
used it as directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
liens of the United States but the best recommen-
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just you directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to us all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
investment 1t will return a yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT on the
money invested. For instance, we win suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies' and gentiemens' wear, and childrens' cloth
ing. only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
long washed in this way as by the old method.
Thus you actually save 500 year by investing 10
OF 200 per cent annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends more than here stated butthis
is taken, very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
veniencc and comfort of the thing which, all taken
together, makes it luxury which no--family can
well afford to be without


This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer

The Reporter, in which Governor Haight
was stockholder, says of his Excellency !:


1.-TWO or three mistaken Democratic
journals allowed themselves to make un-
provoked assaults upon the Reporter for
no other reason than it failed to place a

certain gubernatorial candidate who wishes
to dictate to the Democratic organization,
and who goes for political advice and
counsel to the enemies of the Democratic
part"

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 lot water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
boils over raise the lid.


Keep up o hst ere 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 folowisg
SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital Importance to THOR
OUGHLY SUBS the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least rsrticle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk FIRE is important in order to FRO
duce 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,
DC.


Articles much soiled may be left in for a 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 colors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate laces,
cambrics, &C., such would nearly fall to pieces
washed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fecty. without injury, by this process. The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or ~broksn,p
water, is SO well understood. as to hardly need
mention here.


No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wrist bands and Collars
This Self washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device. Should shade or streak remain,
it ill be found to be reduced and sotened 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 0NE-HALF ITS WEAR. by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this new process which
alone would pay for q Boiler many timss during
single year, in almost any family, to say nothing
Of the important consideration ef saving labor.
