To Clean Clothes According to the American Analyst the proper way of restoring old clothes is as follows: Take, for instance a shiny old coat, vest, or pair of trousers of broad cloth, cassimere or diagonal. The scourer makes a strong warm soapsuds, and plunges the garment into it, souses it up and down, rubs the dirty places, and, if necessary, puts it through a second time; then rinses it through several waters and bangs it up to dry on the line. When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it up for an hour or two and then presses it. An old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of the coat and the iron passed over that until the wrinkles are out; but the iron is removed before the steam ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate are removed by laying a wet cloth over them and passing the iron over that. If any shiny places are seen they are treated as the wrinkles are—the iron is lifted while the full cloud of steam rises and brings the nap with it. Cloths should always have a suds made especially for them, as in that which has been used for white cotton or woolen clothes lint will be left in the water and will cling to the cloth. In this manner we have known the same coat aud trousers to be renewed time and time again, and have all the look and feel of new garments. Good broadcloth and its fellow cloths will bear many washings, aud look better every time because of them. Notice To Tax Payers The Treasurer will be at Walkerton, March 11th and 12tb, New Carlisle, March 14th and 15 th, Woodland, March, 18th, Mishawaka, March 20th and 21st, to collect the taxes for the year 1894. , W.

I^arge tracts of land are being offered at very low prices in that state to colonies, the aim being io stimulate emigration to that region. A counterfeit ten cent peice is in । circulation. That is getting down now about where it concerns some of us fellows who have rested quite easy , over the reports of twenty-five, fifty 1 cent and one dollar counterfeit pieces l being in circulation. Elderly people remember their spring । bitters with a shudder. The present . generation haee much to be thankful ( for, not the least of their blessings b< - , ing such a pleasant and thoroughly ( effective spring medicine as Ayer’s . Sarsaparilla. It is a health-restorer and health-maintainer. An advertisement should be truthful ’ and to the point. An advertiser should not try to come any “shenanigan" on the public by misrepresenting, for if he does he will have occasion to regiej it. Honest, persistent advertising at tracts trade, without question, and it is a business like way of doing bus- , iness.

Wellsboro is beautifully located, with a fine country surrounding it, and possesses many natural advantages that should contribute towards 1 making a good town of it.
