Daily Democrat. CAKE OF THE COFFEE POT. Not even milk pans require more scrupu lous care than the coffee pot. It may be rinsed after each time of using, and yet be far from clean. There is an oily property about coffee which adheres In spite of rins ing out. You can see this for yourself by taking almost any coffee pot that has been some time in use, (unless it has been very carefully kept,) and you will find clinging to it a sort of black grease, not brown ; this will come off if you rub a cloth around the Inside. Now, this deposit, for instance, for some reason w hich many would like to have expli Ined, destroys the fragrance, color and flavor of coffee. If you see your coffee Iooks black-brown instead of ruddy brown, you will know It will be flavorless, haw-ever strong. To keep this black oil from the pot, it must be daily washed, not rinsed, scalded and dried. Each piece of a French coffee pot should be separately dried before It is put away. If packed to gether wet the strainers w ill in t'me give a metallic taste. Another reason for great care is that without it the strainers get clogged and the coffee will not go through. If you find that your coffee pot has been neglected, put a piece of washing soda as large as a hickory nut into hot water ; set the strainers in it ; let them stand on the 6tove for hours ; put the same in the cof fee pot ; then rub and brush both till the wire gauze is clear and all the black re moved ; then run boiling water slowly through, and dry It. Let the care be daily afterward. The grease will not form, nor will the gauze fill up if a pint or so of boil ing water is poured through every morn ing, and it is dried before being put away. Cold water is worse than useless, as It sets the oil. Sometimes the coffee pot is put away exactly as it leaves the table, with left-over coffee In it. This should never be. In drying the coffee pot, or warming it, be careful not to let It get too hot, or there will be a flavor of burnt coffee to spoil the beverage for that occasion. "The Presidential term of office should be extended to six years, and the President elected by a popular vote. United States Senators should be elected the same way. But these reforms can only come through constitutional amendments, which must originate with Congress, and so there is lit tle hope of their coming to pass. East Oregonian. These reform would meet the hearty approval of the people.but our cotemporary is slightly in error about its being necessary that they should originate with Congress. On the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states Congress would hive to call a convention to propose amend ments to the constitution. We suggest that the legislature of this state soon to meet pass a joint resolution calling upon Congress to call a convention for the pur pose above indicated, and then send the resolution to all the other state legislatures for action. What say you.Bro. Wager I ' The quality of looking forward into fa turlty seems the unavoidable condition of a being irhose emotions are gradual, and whose life is progressive; as his powers are limited, he must use the means for the at talnments of his ends, and intend first what he performs last; as by continual advant age from his first stage of existence he is perpetually varying the horlzonjof his pros pects he must always discover new motives of action, new excitements of desire. As the moon revolves around the earth, it also makes just one revolution on its axis' thus keeping the same side always towards the earth. You can easily illustrate this by placing an orange in the centre of a table to represent the earth, and moving another one around the edge of the table. You will find that,lf you keep the same side always opposite the central sphere, the moving one will turn once on Its own axis in making the journey around the table. Tough beef is made tender by laying a few minutes in vinegar water, or put spoonful of vinegar into the water in which fowls or meat are boiling, and it will make them tender. Kerosene will remove spots from furni ture ; it is excellent to clean oil cloth or ' zinc. If vou snill it on vour clothes hane them in the air and the spot and smell will both soon disappear. A waterfall has been discovered in the Rifle Creek, Colorado, which is said to ex ceed Niagara In beauty, though not equal to It in volume. A wineglass of strong borax water in a pint of raw starch will make collars and cuffs stiff and glossy. Clothing A Urge and complete II n gents' clothlr.g and furnishing goods at .. B. Mcllwaln's.

With a little care every part of stale bread can be utilized. All the odds and end8 of crusts should be spread evenly on a pan and allowed to dry in a warm oven. When quite dry, put them in a small bag made of ticking or canvas, and pound them fine with a mallet. Sift them, and put them In empty fruit cans. They will keep for months, and can be used for breading meats, fish, croquettes,omclettes and making dres sing for fowls. No man's spirits were ever hurt by doing his duty ; on the contrary, one gcod action, one temptation resisted and overcome, one sacrifice of desire or interest purely for con. science's sake, will prove a cordial for weak and low spirits far beyond what either in. dulgcnce, or diversion, or company can do for them.
