Wlien potato are freshly gathered

coarse cloth. Wash very clean, and let
them remain for about half an hour in
salt and water.
There are many simple and effective
disinfectants, among which are coffee
pounded and burned on an iron plate,
sugar burned on hot coals, vinegar boiled
with myrrh and sprinkled on the floor
of the sick room.
Kice is the least nitrogenous of all
grains. It is a good addition to breed,
and is especially serviceable to combine
with highly nitrogenous foods, such as
peas, beans and lentils, it is particu
larly adapted to invalids, as it is one of
most easily digested substances known.
To cool your face and prevent an ollv
appearance pnt a few drops of aromatic
ammonia in your morning nam. vv nen
the face becomes overheated and "shiny"
during the dav. wet a corner of a towel
with alcohol and mop it softly, letting it
dry by evaporation or with little rub
bing.
The moBt delightful muffins are made
from the fine flour gronnd from the
whole wheat, This is a dark flour. It
differs from Graham in that the bran
mixed through the Graham gives
coarse texture to any bread made from
it. The flue part of Graham flour is
coarse like a meal. Entire wheat flour,
on the contrary, is as fine as any bolted
flour, all parts of the kernel being pow
dered. Tne brown bread and muffins
made from it have the sweet, nutty
llavor oi tne Kernel.
Do not lay meat, fish, encumbers or
anything else directly on the ice, as it
absorbs flavors readily and will impart
them to the drinking water. The com
partment for ice should be so constructed
that no food will come in contact with it.
The refrigerators should be kept entirely
for milk, butter and water, though sealed
and air-tight cans even of salmon, lob
ster, ham, etc., may be kept in the up
per part without spoiling the butter or
milk, and of course without affecting the
water, nnless one should be stupid
enough to put them in the water tank.
Flowers should be gathered early in
the morning while wet with dew or late
in the evening after sundown. It is bet
ter for the plant and for the flowers cut
that they be removed by scissors or a
sharp kiiife than wrenched off with the
hand. It iB far better if they are kept
for some time to change the water daily
and clip the ends of the stems each time.
Rare roses and valuable flowers should
lie covered with paper and set in the ice
box at night. A few drops of ammonia
or a little salt in the water is said to ma
terially asBiet in keeping flowers fresh.
It is not everybody who can make a
bed well. Beds should he stripped of
all belongings and left to air thoroughly.
Don't, however, leave a window open di
rectly upon the lied and linen, with a
fog or ruin prevailing outside. It is
not uncommon to see sheets and
beddinir hanuimi out of a window with
perhaps rain not actually falling, but
with no per cent, oi humidity in (lie at
mosphere, and the person sleeping in
that lied at night wonders the next day
where he got his cold. A room may be
aired in moist weather, but the bedding
and bed must not absorb any dampness,
Ashes as a Fertiliser,
i lie value ui uhiidb uupcuuo, ui wm nc,
largely on the com position of the burned
substance that produces them. They
may contain more or less of potash or
phosphate of lime, according to the kind
of wood that is burned. Wood ashes
are generally valued according to the
amount of 'potash they contain, but
some kinds of wood contain appreciable
amounts of phosphate of lime, and are
therefore more vulnable. Pear-tree wood
and trimmings of grape vines are said to
contain more nliosoliatee than woods of
other fruits, and all fruit-tree woods
have more nhosnhutes than woods from
forest trees. Burned bones have their
chief value in the phosphate they con'
tain, but burned bone, unless it is dis
solved bv snlnhnric or carbonic acid, is
not available as plant food. Caustic pot
ash has, however, some power to make
other mineral plant food available, prob
ably by its effect in making it ferment
anu liberating carbonic-acid gas.
Leached ashes after long exposure to
the air absorb ammonia, and thus make
them often a bettor fertilizer than before
i their potash was leached out of them.
1'lant fitrawberriei' Early.
There is no need to allow the new
plant on strawberry runners to attain
large growth before transplanting it. In
tact, the emaller the set the Biirer it is to
live, and the quicker it will begin to de
velop fruit buds for another year. The
early-set strawberrieB require a good deal
more work to keep them free from run
ners, but they well repay extra trouble.
It is proposed to hold a convention in
Septeuiber next at one of the cities on
the Tennessee river to consider the beBt
means for securing an amirotiriation
from Congress for a canal around Colbert
fthoala, an obstruction in the river below
Mlielheld, Ala. The coat of tin work is
estimated at (2,500,000.
PORTLAND MARKET.'
A Resume of the Condition of Iti Dif
ferent Departments
An unusuallv heavv amormt of trad
ing was done in the wholesale line. Busi
ness in every line wan very good.
Receipts of fruits were heav mr than at
any previous time this seanm. Water
melons, cantaloupes, grapes ana peaches
are plentiful, frodu.ee is coining in
freely, and the market is in much better
condition than it hue been. Eggs are in
sufficient supply to satisfy the demand.
Butter has declined 6 cents all around.
The drop is occasioned by large receipts
ol Eastern stock. From now on Eastern
butter, owing to the superior way in
which it is packed, will lie carried in
heavy snpp y, and the Oregon product
will be forced into the background. If
farmers would use more care in putting
up their butter, it could easily control
the market instead of inviting Eastern
competition and thus lowering prices.
WHEAT. -
The local market has a firm tone in
sympathy with foreign advices, but
trading as yet is very quiet. Public ca-
oies report cargoes nrm, Din not quotaoly
higher. Liverpool spot wheat is firmer
and options fractionally higher, with the
exception of October.

Darius Norris, who mysteriously dis

A little bird sang to him and me.

For 'twas the month of May,
And one year hence he'd come again
'Twould be our weddlog day,
Obi swiftly did the hours fly
And happy waa my ueart,
He told me "after this good by
We never more shall part."
"Tweet, Sweet," from shrub and tree,
The little birds song for him and me.

And threw a alas to me.

Deaths from Lead Poisoning.
In the list of deaths from poisoning In
Great Britain fill in a single year
ninety-five, or over one-sixth, were caused
by lead. The people of all civilized coun
tries are In need of special caution con
cerning the use of lead. Lead pipes, lead
faucets, lead solder, and in many other
forms, lead is a subtle and terrible dan
ger. Thousands suffer from lead poison
ing who do not die thereby. It should
never be used, when by corrosion it can
become an element in food or drink. The
symptoms are so easily laid to other
causes that it can do serious mischief be
fore its presence is suspected. Its use in
red precipitate as a nolder on pipes is
aneciallv dajiperoua. Next to lead, the
caBes of poison most numerous were from
opium, then from carbolic acid. Bella
donna and alcohol, aconite, chlorodyne
and hvdrochlorio acid follow in the list
with nearly equal pace. For suicidal pur
pose carbolic acid was used in forty-two
cases, morphine, opium and laudanum in
forty-one. The fashion in suicide is very
variable. Globe-Democrat.
A Keoullar Love Charm.
In the south of France they make a
very peculiar love charm in a very pecu
liar wuy. Under certain ceremonies which
I do not understand very well the young
woman catches and boxes 'up a frog in a
box with a lot of Little holes bored in the
wood. The casket is then buried in an
ant hill and left there for two weeks.
The ants of course attack the prisoner
and eat up all bis flesh, and all that is left
ts the creature s hones. Among these Is
a shield shaped bone about as large aa
one's thumb nail, upon one end of which
is a little hook. The girl takes this bone
and has it blessed surreptitiously by the
priest without his knowledge that is,
she exposes it during the benediction at
the mass and then she hooks it on the
clothing of her sweetheart that is to be.
i was gravely assured that the charm,
when properly prepared with all due cere
mony and care, had never been known to

Copy for tha Editor.
Most editors dislike pencil copy. It is
hard to read aud bothers desk editor and
compositors alike. News paper paper
