JEFFERSON'S CABINET.

MIR. Parton says that i'll bestOwinG the
great places of the Government, Jctfer-
son evidently had it i'll view to cxalt and
stimulate the intellectual side of hui
man nature, then under kind of ban in
Chrlstendom. Every member of his
Cabinet was college bred; and every
man of them was III in some peculiar
way identified with knowledge. Madi-
son was, above all things else, student
of constitutional science as well as con-
stltutlonal law. Gallatir, the founder
OF the glass manufacture of Pittsburgh,
was accomplished in the science of his
day, eminently an intelectualized per-
son. Dearborn, Il graduate OF Hm vard
had also been admitted to one of the
learned professiors. Robert Smith, of
Maryland, Secretary OF the Navy, IL
graduate of Princeton, after long emf
nence at the bar and in public life, died
President of the Agricultural Society
and Provost of the University of May
land. Gideon Granger, of Connecticut,
Postmaster-Generl, graduate of
Yale, IL lawyer of learning and high dis
t'nction, fought through the Connecti-
cut Legislature the liberal school fund,
to which the State is 50 much indebted
He was noted, all his fife, as the intelli-
gent and publicspirtcd friend OF every
thing high aud advanced. 1t was he
who promoted iptern@' improvements in
manner to which the strictest con-
structlonlst could not object, by giving
thousand acres of land for the benefit
of the Erie canal Chancellor Liy ,ngs-
ton, whom Mr.. jefferson invited to his
Cabinet, and Induced to go us Minister
to France, was the most LIBERAL patron
science had found in America. A eraGu-
ate of Kings College, in New York, he
spent his leisure and income in promot-
ing science, All, and agriculture. 1t
was his intelligent faith and bis liberal
outlay of money that enabled Robert
Fulton to carry out John Fitch's idea of
a steamboat. James Monroe, the least
learned of the meu whom jefferson adj
vanced, could give glorious reason why
he WAS not Il graduate of Il college. The
battle of Lexington called him away
from William and May to camp at
| Cambridge.

Com in Central Illinois seems tc
promise, after all, an average crop. II
is said to look better there than any
where else.
The crops in all parts Of Minnesota,
except in the counties devastated by
grasshoppers, are looking splcndidly.
Corn is particularly forward in the Big
Woods country.
In Parsons, Kan, the wheat is nearly
all harvested and much of it stacked.
Labcttc county's wheat crop il esti-
mated at 100000 bushels, against 200,-
900 Last year.
A New style of potato bug has made
its appearance III Clark county, Wis. 1t
is known as the blister fly, and scientists
say it can double discount the other bug
in destructiveness.
In Champaign county, H., fruits Of
all kinds are almost an entire failure.
Currants and goosebcrries are about
half a crop, apples one-siXth, cherries
not onc-tenth, peaches an entire failure,
and most of the trees killed.

A CORRESPONDENT having stated that
all the public holidays OF the present year
were upon the same day of the week us
in 1851, an examination of the matter
has been made with the following result:
The years 1900, 1873, 1879 and the last
ten months of 1891 have the general
holidays and also the Church fasts and
festivals on the same day of the week
and month. The ordinary public holi-
days in the United States occur on same
week and month day in the years 1900,
1906, 1877, 1923, 1881, 1915, 1851, 1862,
1873, 1879, 1890, the last ten months of
1928. 1896, 1884, and first two months
of 1872, and 1896.

Canning Fruits and Vegetables.

These should be fully ripe, without
blemish, especially of decay. In the
first place, wash them and pick item
clean put them in the cans quite full,
and having put on the covers loosely,
set the cans in kettles of cold water oven
a moderate fire; let the water boil
gently, then remove the cans, close
them tightly, and set them in COO
place. Glass cans are much used now
but as these admit light, which is sup
posed to injure the fruit, they should
be placed at once in u dark closet
Fruit keeps better without sugar, wei
sealed and kept cool. Vegetables should
be boiled longer than fl''t, especially
corn, peas and beans.

A series of experiments instituted to
test the average loss in weight by dry
ing show that corn loses one-tifth and
wheat onc-fourteenth by the process.
From this, statement is made that
farmers VII make more by selling I'M
shelled COIN in the fall at IS cents than
i'll the following summer at 81 per
bushel, and that wheat at $1.32 in
December is equal to $3.50 for the same
wheat in June following. This estimate
is made on the basis of interest at Seven
per cent, and takes no account of loss

4 NEW FIRE-ENYING UISHIAG ar

PARITIS.
A NEW and ingenious, and what prom
Uses to be Il vastly useful, firc-cXtjn-
gushing apparatus has been invented
by Boston gentleman, and has rcccrtly
been exhibited in that city. 1t is thus
described by a local Journal: A pipe
runs from the basement to the roof,
through the center of the building. This
pipe is furnished with valves which open
ON every floor in the building, and each
room is supplied with Il suitable amount
of hose, which, in case of fire, is attach
ed to the valve leading into that room,
and stream of water is soon brought
to bear upon the flames, the motive
power being Il force pump in the base
ment, which in manufactures may be
worked by steam. In case of fire, il
bell is struck, which warns the engineer
to set the pumps at work. This pump,
in the establishment in which the eX-
periments were tried, has the capacity
of forcing 600 gallons to the minute.
Two lines of hose, one 80 feet in length
and the other 100, was run into the
street, and streams of water forced
through them reached over 200 feet
horizontally, and pcrpcndicularly from
20 to 30 feet above the building, which
is 95 feet high. The trial was thought
to be successful.

TO Curl Hair.

Get some smooth sticks, nd the hair
smoothly around them, then wind cloth
around and fasten it nicely, and put
them in kettle and boil them an hour
or more, then put them in warm place
to dry. Ii you have tin oven to your
stove 1t is grand place to dry them,
but care should be taken not to bum
them. Let them be on the sticks sew
erai hours, SO they may be thoroughly
dried.
