GOOD HOIISBEEEPING.
To Wash All -Wool Fabrios.
The best'way to wash all -wool fabrics, or
those that have a fair mixture of wool in
them, is to make a hot suda of good soap, in
vehicle put a tablespoonful or two of
ammonia. If possible to make clean with.
out, do no rub soap on . the fabricates it
fulls them up badly. Rub the clothes in
tbis and ritrie in clear, hot Water.
Hang them up to dry out of doors
when the weather is suitable, but never
in stormy or freezing weather. Stretch
them to shape when hung up, and
if possible iron them While they are yet
damp. Never use soap in the rinsing water,
but see to it that the soap old in rubbing
them is well rinsed out. Flannels washed
in this manner will be oft and pliable,
even unto old age, but they should never
be trusted to the care of servants entirely.
. Fired& -Wisdom.
A neat bit of proverbial philoamby, eald
to be of Japanese origin, is, "Be like the
tree- Which, covers with flowers the hand
that flakes it." -
If a man doao not make new acquaintances

on at the rate of about £1,500 a day. The

would have to issue a new paper under the

however, begun te realize, with, more than a
little regret, that thelarge droves of buffaloes
roaming at will over the holden plains of
the Territories formed sighto that are for-
ever to be lost, and to readies also that the
shametulolaughter ot these picturesque brutes
has been a waste of gold. The foot that the
domesticated buffet° and the cross breed o are
both very valuable and easily howled is
juab now giving a new mst to the sport
of buffalo hunting, and the dangers of
the chase are inareeoed ten fold by the
fad:that the olsjed now is not to kill, but
to capture. To make prisoners of the
young or to bring upon one's self the fierce
avenging fary of a buffet° covv, by throw-
ing a rope over her calf, requires the
utmost self-possession as well as that pecu-
liar daredevil familiarity with eaddle and
horse whioh are found eo fully developed in
the range riders of the Western plains. The
hunt is profitless if the calves are injured,
and thepreparations for the care of the cap-
tives are not only minute, but necessarily
*pensive. Dammed° owe are provided as

mothers until tlaey have overcome a not un-
natural repugnance to their new charges.
The calves, however, when oaptured and
placed in a corral with their nurses, display
no excessive modesty in foraging for milk,
and their impetuous raids upon the new cone-
. .
raissety are extremely amusing.
An insportant elensent in the buffalo hunt-
ing of to -day is the fact that the females give
birth to their young very early in the spring,
and the hunt must be accomplished before

tram all ranks of society. There are mem-
bers of Parlieunent in the League, a multi-

of the suppressed otganizstions that they

reason for putting down the League ,and

that it sent a despatch of sympathy to the

that the League's despatch of sympathy

of the exnedition, was a gentleman known
as "the Colonel," whose weather beaten and

with comfortable bedding, " grub," cooking
utensils, %ad last, but not least, a varied an
nitenent, coneisting of sour mash, Martel,

him sat John, rotund, entiling and evidently
content with the world as it is. The rear
wagon contained two thousand. pounds of
baled hay and a quantity of ropettotareomed
for lariats, and was manned by a notable
Jehu, who, the Colonel swore, could trans
forret a jack rabbit into a pullet, or, if the
very worst should befall them, could broil
bhe harness leather so that it would be as
good as a tenderloin.

For three hours the veagons jolted slowly
along over a rough trail, while the smiles of
bhe Colonel and hie oonipanions attested their
faith in the things hoped for., The constant,
"chuck," "chuck," of the heavy wagon was
a little wearying to the Colonel, but the
bottles in hie wagon were well packed and
easily e.ocessible, so that Bell Springs was
readied without any occurrence to mar the
pleasure of the trip. The John had an-
nounced deed noon camp would be made

alighting from his wagon the Colonel looked
ebout him for a moment and then a terrific
roar was heard. "Where the h---. la the

pointing to a trail of water about the size en
