3He Judicial Salaries" Issue.

them no more pay. Exactly that and
nothing more, and the people will con.
tiuue to do the same thing, anL ought
to. Ii the Judges will reduce the fees
of lawyers 80 per cent it will force that

great relief of the people, and the con

an axicn that lawyers and litigation in.
crease in the same ratio. Then we will
hear 80 more about increasing the pay
of judges. OF course the lawyers are
extremely anxious to increase the pay
Of the Judges, VOL knowing that the lat
ter will reciprocate 10y increasing the
fees of lawyers, and making them the
standard Tor the further increase Of
their own pay. If you wish to find cor

ccutive and judicial officers receive large

to $4,000 per year, aud every scalawag
who has not the energy or ability to get

to be governor Now we get good busi.
ness men who are able to afford it for
the honor, and they make the very best

a good high official who holds bis office
solely for the pecuniary gain. Let the

Artificial Milk.

M. Dubrunfant, during the seige of
Paris, devised an artificial milk, made by
dissolving one ounce and half of sugar
in quart Of water, adding an ounce of dry
albumen (from white of eggs and fifteen to
thirty grains of soda crystals, and then
making an emulsion with it by means of
from one ounce and half to two ounces of
olive OIL Ultimately, asthe war went on,
gelatine was substituted for albumen, and
slaughter-house fats, purified by melting
at one hundred and fifty degrees, for the
olive oil. One firm made by the latter
process one hundred and thirty-two thous-
and gallons of artificial milk daily for Paris
consumption.

Keeping Eggs Fresh.

The most convenient and satisfactory
way to keep eggs fresh is to punch numer-
GUS holes in tin pail; fill it with fresh
eggs; lower the pail into kettle of melted
tallow, as hot as can be without burning
ones fingers when thrust into it then lift
the pail out quickly, and the melted tallow
will flow out, leaving a thin coating on
every egg. Remove the eggs as soon as
possible from the pail, and pack them on
epds in keg or barrel, place in a cool
cellar until wanted for use. Eggs have
been kept thus more than six months-so
fresh that expert judges supposed they
were fresh. The eggs being SO much cold
er than the melted tallow, thin covering
of cold tallow will be formed almost in
stantly, which will render the shell imper-
vious to the air.

Remedy for COrns.

When a young man, says a correspondent
of the Country Gentleman, ! used to be
very much annoyed by those painful ex-
crescences called "corns," on the toes and
feet, until l was told of very simple but
effectual remedy for them by some person.
1t was to bathe the feet in tepid water, ito
soften them; then pare them off verysclose-
ly with a sharp knife; then rub on well
green peach-tree leaves; when, after con-
tinuing the rubbing once or twice day,
the corns will entirely disappear, and not
return, without the cause which first occa-
stoned them. have often tried the ..reme-
dy, and never yet found it to fail. Itseems
TO be the prussic acid in the peach-tree
leaves that takes them away.
A good corn salve could no doubt be
made for winter use, by bruising the peach
leaves when green; then boil them in water
until the strength is extracted; then take
out the leaves, strain the water off the
sediment, and add sufficient quantity of
resin beeswax, tallow, and lard oil to make
it soft enough, and simmer down, without
burning, until the water is evaporated.
Soften and pare the corn, as before directed
spread it on small piece of cambria or
linen, and apply, putting on the sock or
stocking carefully, so as not to rub it off.
Keep applying until the corn disappears.

GB- If people planting orchards would
give orders to mark the North side Of trees
with red chalk before they are taken up,
and when set out to have the trees put in
the ground with their North side to the
North in their natural position, larger
proportion would live. Ignoring this law
of nature is the cause of so many trans
planted trees dying. If the North side is
exposed to the South, the heat of the sun
is too great for that side of the tree to
bear, and therefore it dries up and de-
Gays.

An Iowa editor, recently, to keep

another mans wife. He did not get

ed he would. The man followed

The editor got behind the woman,

whether the outraged husband
would shoot him, or murder him
with carving knife. He stood there,
like the boy upon the burning deck,
and calmly awaited the result. The
outraged husband came up within
about two feet of the editor. and said,
'Cuss your impudence. I acant yOu

said he would have the matter at

Pennington, ILL.,, July 10th

Attorney. General Cults has given
an opinion sustaining the judgment
of Superintendent Abernethy, in re-
ference to the acceptance OF gifts to
county temporary school funds. He
decides that Boards of Supervisors
have not the discretionary power to
direct in any manner how, when or
to whom any part of the temporary
school fund shall be paid, nor how it
shall be appropriated. The money
must be accepted and apportioned
to the several districts of the county,
according to the number of scholars
in each district. Any other DISPOSE
ton of the money is illegal and rem
ders Board liable for the amount.
This decision applies specially to
the refusal of the Marion county
Board of Supervisors to accept Con.
gresham Walden's gift of his back
pay. The decision is one of pecu-
liar interest, aud seems to be emf
nently just one. Although a case
might happen in which it would be
improper to accept donation, it is
very improbable that any such con-
tingency Twill ever arise. If a case
such as the evident spirit and intent
of this decision does not contemplate
ever should arise, it can be disposed
of, doubtless, on the ground of being
contrary to the spirit of the decision,
if a more applicable rule should not
exist to apply especially to such
case.-Davenport Gazette

WOODWORKING A SUCCESS.

We are asked why wool-growers
do not fail as other men sometimes
do. We answer. simply because the
growth and increase of wool is as
perpetual as the time in which they
live. 1t matters not how dark the
night is, the wool continues to grow,
and it matters not how the wind
blows or how it may storm, CESSATION
is never longer $50 days. The lambs
will average one.half females, and
often twins, and they breed the next
year, making double compound
perpetual growth and no loss. Ev.
erything that does not go into the
market goes back to enrich the past
ure; and though the landlord may
be sick it does not stop the growth
of the lambs.
Not so with other business. The
mechanic or the man that works fol
salary has nothing to grow while
he sleeps when his labor ceases his
income stops, and his expenses are
perpetual. 1t is true there are per
petual expenses attending the sheep
and goat business; but under the
most untavorable circumstan
where they can live on the commons
without feeding, the meat of the
wethers will pay all expenses with
out drawing on the wool or increase
of ewes. Hence, it is like perpet,
ual stream flowing into a basin ii ii
only question of time about filling
it to overfio wing. The drawback is
that men do not relish living away
rom thickly populated settlements
and towns, depriving themselves o
society for the sake of money. This
objection can be obviated. In al
new countries there are villages con
stantly springing up, near which good
sheep range can be had, where the
owner can visit his fiocks daily, ant
also give his family the benefit o
schools and society.-Facts and Jig
