Wo havo triod many receipts for yeast, but havo found nono equal to tho ono wo now glvo : Put a handful of hops, tied in a small bag, in two quartB of wntcr, and boil for half tin hour; paro nnd grata half a dozon raw potatoes of medium eizo; pour tho wntcr in which tho hops havo bcon boil cd, having squeezed out tho bag, over tho potatoes ; add half a cupful of sugar and a littlo less quantity of salt; let it stand until it becomes tnpid ; add a pint of good yeast ; lot it rise, stirring fre quently ; put in a crock, and keep it in a cool pluco.

Bako in shoet iron pans one hour and a half in a slow oven. TRUE HOSPITALITY. Tho announcement of tho coming of a visitor into tho family for a fow days or weeks, as it may bo, is genorally fol lowed by a great deal of worriment and anxiety on the part of tho housekoeper for foar everything will not bo right. Sho must go all over tho house with broom and duster in hand, to bo suro everything is clean and nico for tho coming guest. Even tho attick, used only as a receptaclo for discarded f urni turo and clothes, must bo visited and put to rights. Why sho should think a guest would want to rummago in this place, or poko into storo closets, which they never do, U a strange idea, but it do;s appear as though that is her thought, or why does she go into every hole and corner, afraid something would bo left undone. Should tho expected visitor be a. slight acquaintance, never having been her guest beforo, to bo sure it is but natural sho should be a littlo nervous about his or her coming, and like that her home should make a good impre&sion on him. But when the coming guest is an old friond or acquaintance, it does seem ab surd that sho should go through the same routine as for an almost entire stranger, yet that U exactly what she does, giving the impression that the per son expected is coming with the expresa purposo of picking out any mistakes that sho has mado in her housekeeping. Sho is so tirod out from work and worry that when tho guost docs arrive sho is not prepared to greet hor as cor dially as sho should, and tho wclcomo is forcod and strained. Tho visitor, if she is a sonsitivo person, quickly notices tho lack of warmth, that clomont which is tho pulso of a hearty grocting, and wonders could sho havo mado a mistako in coming. Tho guost, though an old friend, is shown to hor room with as much ceremony as though sho woro a stranger, and tho busy housokeopor ex ousos liorsclf and hurries to tho kitchon to sco that tho dinner or tea, whichovcr it may bo, is served on timo. Tho best silver and china must bo used at ovcry meal, and tho rarest viands that tho hostess can afford aro on tho tnblo. Tho visitor, who has looked forward to hav ing tho company of her friond, for months, oxpecting to bo troatcd as ono of tho family, fcols out of pluco as an honored guost, and nt tho closo of her stay leaves with a kcon feeling that hor visit had been a falluro both to herself and hor hostess. Sho would havo pro ferred, had sho tho choico, moro of hor frionds company and loss of her china and delicacies. It is a grnvo mistako to treat frionds in such a way, though it is dono with tho best intentions. Truo Lospitality in relation to guests consists in making them fcol thoroughly at homo, and for this end only should tho housokeopor work. No person can fcol at homo in tho house of a friond who feels that his or hor stay is tho sourco of anxioty and and worriment to any of tho family, and if of a suscoptiblo naturo ho will assuredly closo his visit as soon as pos sible. Do not mako strangors of friends but let them enter into tho homo life. It will bo less worry and caro for tho housokocpor and moro cnjoyablo to tho guost. Should tho visitor bo a woman, and you do not keep hired help, let her assist you in tho housework if sho so desires, and sho will bo bottor pleased than if you had provided tho finost on tertflinment which you could for her. A woman is novor so much at homo as when sho is doing housowork, and you will bo surprised to sco how quickly your guest merges into a member of tho family whon assisting you in your labors. Whon sho departs sho will tako with hor, and, paradoxical ns it may scorn, Icavo behind, tho romombranco of a homo-like, cnjoyablo visit. A Hairpin Caibloa. A pretty accessories to tho dressing tablo is mado by getting a small round box, liko thoso in which thimblos comos in tho thimbles, or, if this is difllcult to obtain, a smnll round collar box cut down to about half its dopth will do nicely. Fasten across the open top somo coarso netting and cover tho bottom with somo pretty papor. Trobln crochet a covor to tho rim of tho bottom, then crochet n row or two of sholls, according to tho dopth of tho box, around tho bottom so that when on tho box thoy will lio flat. Tho ribbon of tho samo shado as tho cover, and fasten in a neat bow, or a bow with long ends. This makes a very pretty miunturo sailor hat tho top of tho crown being used as a cushion for hairpins.

Last week thcro wcro no letters loft over, tho last one was sont to tho printer, and wo felt rather discourngod for foar there would bo nono for this week. But boforo many days tho mail brought enough to fill tho spaco we havo. Only onco navo tuo young folks iiulou to write Thero was a timo when thoro would bo twenty or thirty lottors on hand. Ono reason that wo have so fow now is that so few writo regularly. Many moro writo but tho first ono. Leo tells of a horso twcnty-fivo years old. Is not that wonderful? It is said that a horso would livo to bo vory old if only treated well, but thoy aro not capa ble of standing rough UBago, and it is very uncommon to sco ono oven twelvo years old. It is a good, kind man that can show so aged an animal. Thcro is nodomestio animal that is so usoful and so necessary to man as tho horso, and yet how cruelly thoy aro abused by ovorwork and neglect. Tho caro of bees is a very intorosting study. Thoy havo curious ways and habits. When n littlo girl, wo usod to sit by tho boo hives and watch them. If n strango boo comes to tho hivo thoy will drivo it away. Sometimes ono colony will steal tho honoy from another, and think, it is usual for tho workers to kilt tho drones, or thoso who will not work. It is said tho avcrago ago of n working bco is only six months. It is interesting to read about tho bee. Thoy aro a symbol of industry and forethought, in providing for winter food. It is said that bees that aro taken to a warm climato after a wliilo loso that name, nnd do not lay up honoy. Loo must tell us moro of tlicso bees. Ncllio writes n nico letter. May Day was not sunny or warm, so Ncllio did not get many flowers, wo guess Novor has thoro boon bo wet and cold n spring. Aunt Hetty's flower seeds havo not como up well, but tho woods grow well enough. Its nieo to havo frionds como so far to visit. Nollio must try and do hor part in making tho visit pleasant. A littlo girl can do a groat deal toward making a pleasant, cheerful homo, in trying to bo helpful, usoful, and with a chcorful way doing nil sho can of tho household duties anything to mako things smooth. A cross, solfish girl can mako a houso uncomfortable. Marion, Or., May 2, 1887. Kditor Home Circlet As I havo novor written to tho Circlo, I thought I would write. I am a littlo boy olovon years old. I wont to school six months this winter, but school is out now. I studied in tho clcmontary arith metic, nnd read in the fourth roadcr, and spelling, and tho olomentary geography. My papa takes tho Farmer, and I likp to read tho young folks' lottors. My brother Charles had a swarm of bees tho 28th of April, this year. Wo havo six head of horsos. Wo havo a maro 25 years old, and sho has a colt that is eight months old. Littlo boys, can any of you beat that for an old maro? Sho is of Morgan stock. Yours truly, Lee Moroas.

The Effect of Mental Exhaustion. Many diseasos, especially those of tho ner vous system, are the products of daily renew ed mental exhaustion. Business avocations often involvo an amount of mental wear and tear very prejudicial to physical health, and the proIusMims, if arduously pursued, aro no lesi destructive to brain and Iicrvo tissues. It is ono of the most important attributes of Hostettcr Stomach Bitters, that it compen sates for this uuduo loss of tissuo, and that it imparts new inorgy to tho brain and nerves. The rapidity with which it renews weakened mental energy and physical vittlity, is ro nmrkablc, and shows that its invigorating properties aro of sho highest order. Bosidis increasing vital sttmina, and counteracting tho effects ot mental exhaustion, this potenti al modicino cures and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism, clironio dyspepsia and constipa tion, kidney and uterine woakness and other complaints. Physicians also commend it as a medicatod stimuiaut and remedy, In this ago of progress, what a won dorful amount of skill and ingenuity is expended in tho construction, improve ment and preservation of tho costly and intricate machinery usod in tho manufacture of tho various articles so necessary to our comfort. How much moro important is it that wo watch with rigid care this most wonderful machine, tho human body. Adjusting all its parts with nicest euro, each to the other, that all may perform thoir allotted duty. Thoro is nothing better calculated to do this thoroughly and cmciently than Freeso's Hamburg Tea ; a simplo vege table remedy, yet powerful in its ability to build up and restore tho wasted ener gies, and to givo tone and vigor to all its powers. Within a few weeks Massachusetts and Connecticut have each organized a Patrons' Fire Insurance Company, offi cered by leading members of the Grange, and each company starts off with 500. 000 of insurance.
