Washington. There is no pretense that the
Post Office Department needs heavier tax
on newspapers and pamphlets. or that q
heavier tax will yield larger revenue; the
change can only be explained by the TACT
that the average Congressman Is opposed 10
the circulation of newspapers-and strongly in
favor of the circulation of his own speeches.
While the Jurors in the investigation OF the
St Andrew's Church disaster are divided IN
opinion on some points, they agree in censur-
ing the Fire Department and the Department
of Buildings for insufficient discharge of duty,
and the architect of the Shaw building for
error of Judgment These findings seem
70 he fully sustained by the evidence /;
it remains to DO seen whether any
action will be taken by the Mayor or the
Grand Jury, or both. to make the censures
something more than a matter OF form. The
Jurors agree also in condemning the faulty
construction of the church, by which the
death of at least two persons was occasioned /;
and a recommendation is made for an amend
ment OF the present building law so as to
secure adequate and easy cgrcss from all
buildings used for public meetings OF
any kind. This sensible recommendation has
been anticipated by the verdict of the press
and public, but it needs official emphasis to be
effective in Albany. With the lessons of the
St. Andrews calamity before them it is
wonder that some of the city members OF the
Legislature have not ere this introduced a
bill of the kind indicated and had it well ON
it's way toward passage.

There is much disturbance in the minds of
many bank officers on account of recent
action of the Internal Revenue Department
in undertaking to investigate the payment Of
unstamped checks by banking institutions
1t is asserted that great many unstamped
checks have been paid since the time when
numerous provisions of the law requiring
stamps on many classes of documents were
repealed and that the letter of the law has
been repeatedly violated through both ignO-
rance and design. Recently, agents have ap
peared at many banks in this city and State
and in other States, demanding the production
of vouchers in order that the number of I'M
stamped checks which have been paid might
be ascertained. These demands have been
frequently refused, and the right of this kind
of investigation by agents of the Government
is strenuously denied. Bankers now anxiously
await IN authoritative ruling on the matter
from the Internal Revenue Department, and
this ruling is said to be on the way to New
York.

The Forty-Third Congress no doubt did a
great many little things sub-rosa which will only
be understood by slow degrees. One has just
come TO light through circular issued by the
Post Office Department to its subordnates
1t is in relation to the rates of postage on
transient printed matter. For while the states
men at Washington were voting themselves
back the hateful franking privilege, they were
secretly doubling the cost of postage to the
people. Transient newspapers, pamphlets and
other printed publications, must now be pre-
paid by stamps at the rate of one cent an ounce,
instead of one cent for every two ounces as
heretofore. A transient copy of THE TRIBUNE,
for instance, is now chargeable with three
cents postage to Brooklyn,-but only two
cents to Europe. And the day after the re-
vived franking privilege went into effect four
tons of free matter were received here from

Another step has been taken which MARKS
the decline in fire insurance rates. The Brook
lyn Board of Fire Underwriters have adopted
a series of resolutions that indicate at once
reduction of the price of insurance, and
willingness in large class Of cases to throw
the whole matter open to competition. 10
the public of Brooklyn this will BIO good
news and to the companies the hope at least
remains that lower rates will bring an increase

The latest returns from the New-Hampshire
election are much more favorable to the Dem
ocrats, but it seems still clear that the
Republicans have Jared better than they
did last year when they had Grant
to carry. 1t is now reported that the
Republican candidate for Governor has a
small plurality instead Of majority vote.
that the Legislature is Republican, and that
the Democrats have elected two candidates
for Congress instead of one, as stated III
earlier disnatches.

1t was not of my childhood days that
l began to write, but Of blackberry
ing excursion on the Zumbro, above
Pine Island, in the August of eighteen
hundred and sixty. There were
great many reported in that locality,
and we had the promise of day after
the stacking was done, and as our stack
ing was a small job in those days we
had not long to wait. Early in the
morning, of the day after, we started,
eight of us in the wagon, with a full
supply of empty baskets, pals and cups,
beside a basket filed with cold chicken
and other necessaries, not forgetting
bottle of cream for the berries. The
ride in the fresh morning air was pleas
ant and celebrating for few miles,
until We left the main road and turned
into the Zumbro valley, then the road
was rough, and many unmistakable
signs Of frost which we had not seen
on the high prairie, very much marred
the beauty of the scenery; whole fields
OF vines were withered and the golden
pumpkins, unripe, were left to blacken
in the burning rays of an August sun.
But we found the berries, and worked
with Il will to secure all that were
worth picking, for small tame fruit was
not as plentiful in Minnesota then as
now and we wanted to make the most
of our time.
After scrambling over logs, through
brush, up hill and down for six hours,
with a short rest for dinner, we called
halt and compared gains, when we
found we had just five quarts all told;
torn dresses, blistered noses and weary
limbs were plenty. The trip was al
most failure as regarded berries, but
in many things it was very pleasant.
To leave home cares and spend day
in the green woods, among the ferns
and flowers is rest, even though we
grow weary for time, and we did en-
JOY the ramble along the river, over
beds of mari, one especially, filed with
whole shells, and the "bonny hawthorne
Dough" was laden with it's beautiful
burden though the fruit was still un-
ripe. Yet the retrospect is pleasanter
than was the reality, and indeed black
berrying is like sleigh-riding too much
self-torture for very little pleasure.

In this grand combination Of the pro-

Going B'ackberrying.
BY MRS. J. E AKERS,

A cheerful talk, few days since,
about a blackberrying party to come
OF next summer, brought to my mind
old times and old scenes, the days when
we were young and gathered blackber-
rles in tin pals, baskets, tin cups, yes,
and in cups made of large hickory
leaves pinned together with small dry
sw'gs in the shape of the "horn of
plenty l never see leaves as large,
or berries as sweet as those my child
hood knew. What untold happiness
we felt when we brought the first {. ripe
blackberries home in leaf cups to our
parents They were rather red and
sour, but to us they were faultless, and
were gladly hailed Us harbingers of the
luscious burdens So fair and sweet -
that we soon would gather. All, well
remembered are those happy days when
we live hunted berries together, and one
sister devoted her time to seeking bet
ter patch, which she invariably found
just when the rest of US were ready to
report our vessels full.
There are great many at the pres
ent day older and wiser than she, who
spend more time waiting for and search
ing better opportunities, than they do
IN Improving what they have. In later
days how we'll remembrance brings to
mind, praise bestowed on hard, red
blackberries in small, sweaty hand, :"

A Business Education Needed,

The children Of the poor have to la
Dor or starve, and as far as that goes
they are educated to be practical. The
education that SCOTS at labor and en-
courases idleness, is the worst enemy
Of girl, boy, man or woman. Instead Of
enrolling it degrades; it opens up the
road to ruin. The education which is
practical and directs US to do what we
are fitted to do, faithfully and we'll;
that respects labor; that inculcates en-
orgy, industry and fair dealing, and
that stri ps us Of selfshness, is the edu-
cation we do most need, and that which
must become the prevailing system of
the country before we can become u
people either prosperous or happy. A
practical business education is what our
young people need in these times of adj
versity, if We expect them to be sue
cessful in their struggle with the world.

THE New York Times draws picture
of the time when our houses shall be
furnished as they should be: "Heavy
rugs will partly cover the polished floors.
Paper of some neutral tint, free from
glazing figures, will stretch from the
richly-colored dado at the bottom to the
gay border at the top. The picture-rod
will not be of the eternal gilt that wearies
US now. 1t will be painted some decided
color that will harmoniZe with the pre-
vailing shade of the whole room. Before
the windows and before the doors, which
open outward, curtains, heavy in texture
and subdued in tone, edged with strong
lace, will hang from wooden rings which
move freely on "a slender wooden rod
fastened to the sheathing. Rings and
rod will be of the hue of the picture-rod
above. The single curtain before each
opening will be Topped to one side. Low
bookcases, not over three feet high, of
dark wood relieved by few chiseled de-
signs picked out in color, will line the
wall. No glass doors will disfigure them.
One general pattern, varied in each piece,
will stamp the furniture. Last and great
est, an open wood fire, either in fire
place or in one of the Franklin stoves
which stifl lurk in the garrets of old
country houses, will cast its CHEEKY light
over everything. The close stove, the
register, the CRATE and the radiator will
be tabooed. The blaze of wood burning
across braZen andirons is something so
beautiful that no artist has ever succeed
ed in painting it. The first of all hints
on household tastes should be: Have an
open wood fire in the room in which you
mean to live"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

A good lubricator for wooden axles
is made of six parts of clean tallow and
two parts of fine smooth plumbago.
Another is made of five parts of tallow,
five parts of soapstone, one part of
plumbagO and nine parts rosin oil; the
tallow and the oil are heated and mixed,
after which the soapstone and plumbago
are added.
Group can be cured in one minute,
and the remedy is simply alum and
sugar. The way to accomplish the deed
is to take knife and CRATE or shave off
in small particles about a teaspoonful of
alum, then mix it with twice its quantity
of sugar to make it palatable, and adj
minister it as quickly as possible. AL
most instantaneous relief will follow

A good way to feed corn-stalks is to
cut them fine and mix with finely-cut
straw in the proportion of two-thirds
stalks and one-third straw A large
mass may be cut and stored without
danger of heating, and the straw will
rather be improved by it. The feed is
relished by horses, cattle and sheep, and
if meal and bran is sprinkled on it nearly
the whole will be eaten.-Rochester Dem

Rich Wedding Cake.-TwO pounds of
butter, two pounds of white sugar,
eighteen eggs, one cup of molasscs, one
teaspoonful of soda, two pounds of

spoonfuls of cloves, one tablespoonful of
mace, two tablespoonfuls of allspice,
two nutmegs. Beat the whites and yolks
of the eggs separately. Dissolve the
soda in the molasses. Cut the citron IN
thin slices. Roll the currants in a little
of the flour before adding them to the
cake. Crate the nutmegs. Rub the
sugar and butter to a smooth cream.

pounds of hams or shoulders, trimmed
into good shape, take eight ounces of salt,
two ounces of saltpeter, two ounces of
saleratus, an ounce of Cayenne pepper,
and two and half pounds of light brown
sugar or one quart of good clean molasses.
If additional seasoning is wished add
one-quarter pound good cloves; and, in
the South, substitute one-quarter pound
black pepper in place of the Cayenne, as
it is more distasteful to insects. If the

If brine pickle is preferred, pack the
hams closely as possible, rubbing them

cereals. In fodder crops generally the
greatest proportion of fat is found in
young and thrifty plants. Thus Way
found early meadow grass to contain as
much as 81 per cent. of fat, while in that
of the same meadow, collected in the
latter part of June, there was but Il lit
tie more than per cent. The pro-
portion of fat is increased by nitro
genous manures; the grass of a sewaged
meadow at Rugby contained about 4
per cent. of fat, while similar grass, not
sewaged, afforded less than 3 per cent
of fat.
The nature of this sort of vegetable
fat was investigated some little time ago
by the German chemist KONG, who
found that by treatment with
strong alcohol the fat of grass and
clover hay could be separated into two
parts, onea solid waxy substance, the
other fluid fat, soluble in alcohol. At
first he considered the latter to be ii
true glycerine, but changed his mind
after the investigations of Schulz, who
proved that though it contained the same
proportion of carbon and hydrogen as
ordinary fat, the fluid fat of hay is some
thing quite different, since no glycerinc
can be obtained rom it.
KONG has since confirmed these re-
suits and carried forward the investiga-
tioIlr llltl tllc ldt VI ~ L
and vetch seed is similarly constituted.
In all these forms of vegetation, hay,
oat straw, the grain of oats, rye, vetches
and possibly others, he finds oleic and
palmitic acids, not combined with glycer-
inc, but in free state; and as these
acids in their combinations are well
known as large Ingredients of nutritive
fats and oils it is likely that they have ii
considerable influence on the value of
these plants for fodder.
KONG also finds in hay and oat straw
the important ingredient of animal bile,
c)t0lesterin; still further, cerotic acid, a
waxy body which forms % per cent. of
ordinary beeswaX, and two fatty sub
stances new to science, one fluid, the
other solid. They are distinct com
pounds, having the character of fatty
alcohols. Another interesting discovery
in hay fat is the presence of hydro
carbon, the relations of which are not
fully made out. In several respects it
agrees with some of the paratines.-
