Warm soap-suds will keep the bugs off house plants and make them grow very fast. If your coal fire is low, throw on a tablesDoonful of salt, and it will help it very much. Good flour is tested by the amount of water it absorbs. Good flour is not always the whitest. It is stated that if apples which have been frozen are thawed in the dark they are uninjured by the chill. Cabbage chopped and thrown on carpets before sweeping, answers the same purpose as tea leaves for laying dust. Cover kerosene stains with Indian meal, and when the oil strikes through, remove and put on fresh J repeal this until the oil is removed. To cure a felon, as the parts begin tb swell) wrap the part affected with a cloth thoroughly saturated with tincture of lobelia, and the felon is dead. Mix a little carbonate of soda with the water in which flowers are im mersed, -and it will preserve them for a fortnight. Common saltpetre is also a very good preservative. Hiccough in children was imme diately stopped by giving them a lump of sugar saturated with table vinegar. The same reriiedy was tried on adults with similar instan taneous success. Skunk cabbage is said to be good for heaves in teaspooiifu'l doses, night and morning. Moisten the hay and erain. Be careful with the diet. Never work a heavy horse on a full stomach. WHICH IS HOST LIKE A HOOT A comical story is told . of two well-known southern clergyman, one of whom undertook to rebuke the other for using the weed.. "Brother G." lie exclaimed, with out slopping to ask any other ques tions, "is it possible that you chew tobacco ?" "I must confess I do," the other cjuickly replied. "Then I would1 qVit it, sir," the old gentleman energetically continued. "It is a very unclerical practice, and a very uncleanly one. Tobacco ! Why, sir, even a hog won't chew it." "Father C, do you chew tobacco?" responded the alitiused listener, "l? No, sir !" he answered gruffly with much indignation. "Then pray, which is the most like the hog, you or I ?" The old doctor's fat sides shook with laughter as be said: "Well, I have been fairly caught this time." Work done to order on short notice and at i reasonable rates. Corvallis, July 1, 1881. ft:27yl. HINTS ON BAILING. A thing may boil until not a ves tige of its original condition remains, and unless the water evaporates, it may go on boiling for hours withou. reminding one by smelJ or smoke that il is spoiled Nothing suffers from this treatment more tha!ii offee. To make the ideal cup of coffee- the almost matainsible brown and grind the berry at homV; ft fs more trouble, but the result is so satisfac tory that you will be more than1 paid for your laitors. Then have the wa ter boiling when it is poured over the coffee. If yon use the ordinary coffee pot, be sure yon stuff some thing in the nose to Jceep in the steam and fragra'nee (and by the way, do not try to use one of these for a lifetime.) Our own coffee pot being sent to the tin shop to be re paired, we tried the experiment, of making coffee iff a new tin pail with a tightly filling cover, and such cof fee have we had that the tin pail has been in use over a month. , ft is, ot course, a little extra tronble to pour it into a presenlible pot for the table, but it fa enough better to pay. There is' nothing so nice t6 settle coffee sn If gi?.8 are expensive you may economize by measuring .the coffee for two mornings .and dividing the egg; or mix ihe coffee, adding a little cold water, and divide this. taking great care to cover that which is left very closely. Cream adds the crowning excellence, not only to the taste, but to the good looks alto. An Scoentrlc Minister. One sultry Sunday a minister was thundermg away at his drowsy con gregation, the majority of which would go to sleep in spite of all his efforts. .At last he shouted: "Wake up here ! There is a man preaching lo you with only halt a shirt on his back '" It woke them tremendous ly. The next day a delegation of ladies visited the parsonage and pre sented the preacher with a package containing some very nice shirts, saying "that it was a shame that he should be reduced to half a shirt to his back." He replied) after accep ting the shirts with thanks, "that he was not literally reduced to a half stiirt, although ha wore only a half on his back he wore the other half in front of him." A Sura Care. "Don't you know it's very wrong to smoke, my boy?" said an elderly- looking lady, in a. railway waitling room, to Young America, who per sisted in puffing a cheap cigarette, much to the old lady's discomfort. "Oh, I smoke for my health," ans wered the boy, emitting a volume of smoke from his mouth, which almost strangled the old lady. But you never heard of a cure from smoking)" continued the old lady when she bad regained con sciousness. , . "Oh, yes I did," persisted the boy, as he formed his mouth into a Ves uvius working on full time; "that's the way ihey cure pigs." "Smoke on, then," quickly replied the old lady; "there's some hope for you yet AN EDITOR WHO WXS DOWN ON POETRY. So you don't publish poetry in your paper, Colonel," said an ac quaintance to an Arkansas editor. "No, sir) I stopped some time ago, but at one time iny paper was known for its poetic contributions: I had one contributor whose work ranked with the best in the country: His sentiment was pure and his diction perfect. 1 had ijever seen him, and he became so popular that at the re quest of my wife I invited him to visit lis. There was nothing partic ularly striking in his appearance, but his eyes had a dreamy, lingering ex pression that greatly pleased my wife," "Didn't you like him ?" asked the acquaintance when the colonel paused. "Liked him well enough at first; but he insulted me." "How ?" "Why, sir, the second night after his arrival he got up while 1 was asleep and stole my Sunday breeches. Since then I have not printed a Urn of poetry. Tne Princess Louisa Ironing a Shirt. The Princess Louise, who is pass ing her idie days in Bermuda,, was touchingly referred to by the Prince- of Wales in his speech a fortnight ago to the graduates of London high schools. In the meantime, what was the Princess doing in Befm'uda? On the day before the reception tender ed her at St. George's she went on a sketching expedition along the shore, all alone, and, after a time became thirsty, went for a drink to tbje, cot tage of a negro fisherman. Ho one was there but "auntie" and she was busy as could be, ironing a shirt of her "old man to wear at the recep tion. The Princess asked her tor a drink. "I'se no lime to bodder get ing water fo' you," was the reply. "I'se tea'ful busy tor I'se bound to see de Queen's chile, to'-morrow. But if you'il get rae a drink I'll iron while vou do. so'." said the thirst v frincess. pffei was accepted, the Princess finished, the shirt and got her drink, and then revealed her identity. "Fo de Lo'd honey ?'' ex claimed "auntie" when she' recovered from her surprise, "ole man no' let no . one else ever wear dat shirt again, nohow." "Yes, brethren," said a preache.r from his pulpit, "you are the passen- Hgers on a train speeding its strait and narrow way to glory, and I am the conductor of that tfaiii',' thank tjie Lord." Yoa run her first class I should say," remarked a stranger, looking over the congregation, "from ihe number of sleepers your hauling. " 1 Real Estate Agency CORVALLIS .

A. Waoqonbr. 20-Syl T. J. Buford, Job Printim Ice KINDNESS TO STOCK. Occasionally,, we see domestic ani mals that are as wild as foxes, and at the approaoh of man manifest the greatest alarm. rms . is usually caused by ill-treatment on the part of some one in the past. It is a pos itive disadvantage to haye animals treated unkindly; it .matters not whether they be horses, sheep; or cattle, the results aie the same. They will not eat so Well; they are likely to be restless; they will riot grow as fast as they should, and there is a constant loss from this wholly unnec essary cause. Therefore, we say, treat your animals, with .the greatest ndriess, and don't allow any one to strike, kick, or abuse them. Your animals will always give you a cor dial welcome when tH'ev have no reason for expecting abuse. Treat them kindly, and they will reward you well for il by bringing into your pockets more profits for their keeping. j PETER COOPER'S LIFE. The gnp is almost pathetic in so cial reminiscences by a death like Peter Cooper's., When he was born in 1791, the total population, of ail the incorporated . cities in America was only 135,000, or the present pop ulation of Jersey City or of Newark. The population of the United States was 4,000,000, or the number New York Sate had before the rebellion. When Mr. Cooper was 50 years old the urban population had grown over 1000 per cent; when he was 90 years old it had. grown almost 1000 per cent more. In short the Ameri can cities alone, between his birth and death, had advanced from 130,- 000 to nearly 1,200,000 souls. The population of Brooklyn at Mr. Coop ers birth was not over 600 souls, and is few houses were relieved against woods upon the heights. The popu lation of New York City when he born was under 30,000 and, the place stopped at Chambers street; and that year the best part of New York Slate were sold to speculators by the Governor for a shilling? an acre. Washington city had not existed whatever. There was only 14 States in the. Union; .Vermont came in the year Cooper did, Ohio not till he was 11, Lousiaiia not till he was a voter. California when hu was in his l6lh year. He was ; eight years old at Washington's death, and lived under every president. Napoleon Bona parte's name was not whispered when Peter Cooper was born. He was old enough to have been 'a c ity editor when Fulton started the fir.t steamboat. As he was the first citi zen of Netf York in date, when he died he was probably first in general respect, known as favorable in : the streets, on the rocks of Central Park and in the high tenement houses of in'a Itiiv nc in Iwifold nn.l Ikantru -il. ii ' i- 1 wo ii. a i..i. wu.l l&u. 1 . i . 13 .

It is a little thing, but for its size, it has more gall and perverseness Uian any inan'mate object we know. We have no records as j.o who invented the tack, but we think he must have had a malicious and linacountable preju dice against the human race, and we don'l know by what motive he was prompted. Didn't we have . enough troubles before? Didn't we have rheumatism and corns, and bills coming due, and one thing and an other to worry us? But here some fellow comes along and invents the tack, which is now known, and de spised all over the habitable globe, jrfth the exception of the Desert of Sahara. Now; a nail say a ten penny is mild; il is fitly times bigger than a tack, but it is Hot so vicious uor so acrobatic. What we mean by that isthfit it pever stands ori its head; it couldn't do it to save Us soul. The ten-penny or eight-penny hasn't a disposition of that kind; It isn't driven into a piece of wood.; it lies on its buck calmly, and thinks. There is nothing belligerent about a nail; you can hit it on the head and il won't say a word. ?..., The tack, however, is of a different temperament. You take a tack, for instance, places it on a chair and sit on it, you will shortly jperpty ve how soon it will respond. It, has a per nicious habit of standing on its head, which is out of all sense and reason, and could only be occasioned by a malicious intent. We haye money to bet that if any man will get out of bed on a cold night or a hot night, he vill tramp on a tack. Somehow or another the tacks don't tackle , the women. We have also a spiall por tion of wealth to wager that if there was a ten ounce, lack in. a sixteen acre field, .and any man in his ban feet would atiempt to prowl .around that field, he wouldn't go ten pace? before it would catch on to him. This shows its malicious intent. If it would only follow the luxurious hab its of the nail, and lie on it a .back or on its side say about' eight hours out of the twenty-tour, we might have some compassion fpr,it; but it doesn't. If it wouldn't lay for the; ,man who has to get out of bed in the morning. at one o'clock to push around for the paregoric bottle; if it wouldn't catch on to the barefooted hired f?irl when she is going dpwn stairs; if it wouldn't jam itself into, the heels of our., chil dren and- give, them the lock-jaw, we would forgive it ;lbr its imbecile idea of standing. on its head all the time. Of course we understand that ; tacks are useful in connection with pulling down carpets a?d putting up election placards, but, If we had our way, we wouldjbani.sh .every tack out IsTKKPARKD TO DO ALL KTWP QF WORK. SSATLT. s !; ;i . :. ' " influence of a boom, the fact that others have been found worthy of notice has been forgotten.. ., While Puget Sound has attracted thig, atten tion of hundreds coming from the East, the ho less substantial attrac tion of the. Willamette valley has proved suflicUnt to draw away many, of these after their arrival. Seattle has grown; so also has Salem. New. Tacoma is rapidly laying. ; aside the garments of infancy, but she has not yet attained the importance of Asto ria or East Portland, and is but lit tle ahead of Albany. Oregon Citjj is quietly acquiring prominence as manufacturing point, and with a few more years of developement will be-r . come a city of no mean dimensions. The investments of money in manti? factories is certain to cause every. town between Roscburg and Port land to become thriving centers ot ndustry. The establishment is "one. large, woolen mill or similar manu facturing enterprise, is worth more td a town than the anuual loading of twenty ships. , The fact :hat wealth sufficient to endow an empire lies right in this, same Willamette valley, is gradually, dawning upon the minds of all. , Thn coal, the iron, the timber and the, soil of the region between the Cas-: cades, and the Pacific are sufficient to furnjsh a miljion, people, directly and indirectly, with e.rnployinent. AI-? though settled for many years it is less known, even by its own citizens, than Colorada. the youngest of States, The wealth that lies in her bosom haa hardly been touched. . Its farming; area is capable of on expansion t ex ceeding the entire area of many of the older States whose population is reckoned by millions. ,It has a va riety of resources of the. rich order. It can be sp thoroughly intersected by railroads t,hat every portion cart, be brought into daily, .communica tion with Portland, its metropolis. They had different ideas as to what would ''break the Sabbath." Their gardens joined. The worldly man to check the fast-growing weeds used to hoe on Sunday afternoon. The strict," straight laced deacon, be fore meeting would talse the watering-pot and give the plants a re freshing sprinkle.'' Not believeing that he could sin, the good man lost patience with the worldly tiller of t he soil, and asked him if he did not feel .. ashamed of working on ..the Lord's Day. The reply was meek and yet it was savage: "The Lord sprinkles your garden, deacon, but he never does mine." The Aakansas legislature has pass ed a bill prohibiting the selling of liquor within two miles of any chur'ch. If this is done for the purpose of en courasing pedestrisnism and out doors exercise among church goers,' it is all right enough, but the State should, improve the roads, or furnish rubber htipting boots at in clement seasons of the year.

The idea of a woman holding" a striped stocking over her head to keep off the sun, and wearing para sols on her O, no, no I We don t believe the story. THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY. The following contains sorno ex tracts from the Commercial Herald, of Portland, in a late issue pa the Willamette Valley which is very good; indeed: , ' "The Willamette valley is destin ed to become one vast hive of indus try. The manufactories of the Pa cific Coast will some day be centered wilhin i,ts limits. Nowhere on the cpast can fuel, raw material, cheap living, quick transportation and oth er advantages' combined, be obtained as ihey can, ljere. To build up such industries every town should make its strongest efforts.' It is to their influence alone thai they . must look for future firominence. Soon, the de velopement ot railroad communica tion with every paryof the valley will be such that Portland can be reached ii) a1 day, and much of their trade will, as' i the cafe with the country surrounding all . large cities, be centered ,in this city. To the Willamette valley PWland will be as Boston is to New England, but there is plenty of room for future Lowells and Worcesters and Man chesters, all over its (air. exWior. In watching the growth of other sections ,the developement ot this valley has been partially lost sight of. In looking with enthusiasm up on the growth ot towns under the THE BAD BOV AT SCHOOL "Well, the teacher at school says you are a. hardened Infidel," said the, grocprymau as he charged the crack ers to the boy's pa. . "He said he; had to run: you out to keep. vou fromf, ruining the morals of, the other scholars. How was, that?" . , ,. "It w(as about speaking piece. When I asked him wh.at , I should speak, he told me to learn somu, speech of, some great, man soni lawyer or statesman so I learned one ofiColojuel Bob Jngersoll's. speech, es., Well you'd a dide to see the; teacher and school committee, when I started onjjBob Ingersoll's lecture, the one that was in the paper when Bob was here. You see thought if a newspaper that all th piou folks takes in their families, could publish Ingersoll's speech,' it wouldn't do any . hurt for a little boy, vho ain't knee high to a giraffe, to speak it in school, but they made in dry np. The teacher is a republikin. and when Ingersoll was speaking, around here on politix, the tijne for. the election the teacher said Bob was. the smartest man this, country evr produced. I heard lim say that in- corcus,-when he went bumming and. setlin 'em up nights, 'specting to superintendent of schools. He said Bob Ingersoll just took the cake, and, I think it was darn mean in him t. go back ou Bob and me, just canst there is no 'lection. The school committee rpadp the teacher stop mv and they asked tne if I knew any of Beecher's, and they let me go ahead,, but it was one of Beecher's new on where he said he didn't believe h, hell, and before I got warmed un they said that was enough of thair and I had to wind up on "Mary hed. ' a" Little Lam." None of them kick-. ed on Mary's lam, and I went i h rouh it and they let me go home.. That's about the safest, thing a bor can speak, in s?hooT now days, either "Mary had a Little Lam," or Twink-, le Little Star. That's, up to th? Average ujtelleck of ihe committer.
