The doctors were just as polite and
gentle in those pioneer days as they are
now, and, catching the spirit of the
rapidly growing country, they felt that
time was the great desideratum. A
doctor living i'm Maeomb county, when
called upon to set a broken leg for a
laboring man, examined the limb and
said: "If set this limb, it will be five
or six months before you can walk. If
saw it off and make you a wooden leg,
you'll be out splitting rails in less than
three months" The man declined the
generous offer, and the doctor sighed
drearily as he rolled down his shirt

The FUMES OF CABBAGE.-Many per-
sons are fond of cabbage, but not at all
fond of the unpleasant fumes which
penetrate the entire house during the
process of boiling. Therefore we recon-
mend a manner of cooking that renders
the vegetable so pleasant to the taste as
to obliterate all prejudice against its free
use. Reduce the cabbage to small pieces
nearly fine enough for slaw, then stew
for half an hour in a covered saucepan
with not enough water to cover it,;
when done, drain off the water and sea-
son with salt, pepper, and a liberal
quantity of butter, using vinegar on the
table. Served in this way, you have a
nice vegetable, much more delicate than
boiled cabbage, and suitable to eat with
any kind of meat you may chance to
have on hand.

RECEIPT BOOKs.-Allow me to sug-
gest to all thrifty .housekeepers that
they make their own receipt books. A
blank book having its pages numbered
can be obtained for q small sum of any
dealer in stationery. Do not write any
receipts save those that have been tried
by yourself or friends. Have it ar
ranged systematically, by being divided
into different departments, as one for
meats, another for vegetables, breads,
pies, puddings, &c. Have an index,
and allow space at the end of every
different department, both there and in
the body of the book, IN which to make
entries at future times. Any obliging
housekeeper will be not only willing
but glad to give you receipts and rules
for making different dishes; then write
them out definitely, for it is of fully as
much importance that dish be properly
mixed and cooked, as that the proper
proportions be used. 1t may, at first
thought, look like hard task, but have
it lying handy and write i'm it at odd
moments, and you will be surprised at
the progress you will make, and then,
when made, you will have such feel
ing of reliability about it. for you kno,c
what it is; no experimenting there. l

JEFF DAvTs,s LAWSUIT.
He Claim. $4,000 from tho Heirs Of his
Brother Joscph's Estate.

Some time since Jefferson Davis brought
suit in the Court OF Chanoery in vicksburg,
Miss, against the heirs aud iegatees OF his
brother, Joseph X. Davis, for the recovery Of
$4,000, purchase money Of the Brierneld plants-
ton, situated in Warren county, Miss. The suit
has just been decided against the complainant.
1t seems that Joseph Il. Davis some nfty years
since procured from the United states Govern
ment two tracts OF land known as Brierneld and
Hurricane. In 1895 he sold them both to his
former slaves, Benjamin Montgomery and his
two sons, for 100000, taking In payment there
for the purchasers bonds and q mortgage on
the property purchased for tho full amount, civ
Ing long time for the payment OF the principal.
This was done while JEFFERSON Davis was in
prison, charged with treason.
In 1870 Joseph died, disposing Of bis property
by will. Tho children Of Jefferson Davis were
his principal legatecs, and Jefferson Davis him.
self was ono Of tho executors. lie qualified and
entered upon the discharge OF his duties as
such, executing In part the provisions OF the
will. He even laid claim to $1,000 against the
estate IA a creditor Of his brother, which was
settled by COMPROMISE After thus recognizing
the validity OF the will, he brought an action 70
recover the $10,OJC0 above mentioned, the sue
cess Of which would defeat the will under which
he had acted. He claimed tide by adverse pos
session. saying that he entered upon the Brier.
field plant alton Ia 1885, and held possession OF II
up to the time that the United States Govern
ment seized 1t In ls62 or 1863.
In 1865 his brother, j. t. Davis, claimed &c

THE MURDER or JANE GILMouR.
EX-AIderman Clements of Toronto Indicted
Tor the Crime.

TORONTO, Jan. 13.--The convicted abor-
tionists. Davis and wife, arrived In the city
from Kingston penitentlary to-day to give evil
dence In the Clements and Fraser case. Mrs
Davis has improved much in appearance since
her Imprisonment. Davis, on the contrary. has
80 much changed as to be hardly recognizable.
They were examined by the Grand jury this
afternoon.and repeated their former statements.
II is probable that Clementss trial will be
brought on immediately.
The Grand Jury this afternoon brought in sew
eral true bills, among which one against
VIM Fraser, the carpenter who made the box
and assisted In removing the remains, for being
an accessory aft the fact to the murder Of
Jane Gilmour. Two true bills were also found
against ex-Alderman Clements. one for the muir
der Of the unfortun lte girl, and the other for
being an accessory before the fact, and aiding
In having the abortion performed.
Tne principal topic OF discussion Is the reli-
ability of tho convtcts' evidence, and whether
the detectives have other than their testimony
to convict Clements. IL Is believed. and the
character whitn Davis has always had su-tains.
In great measure, the belief that Davis Il quite
equal TO the concertln9 Of the deyitsh scheme
to free himself and wife from the gailows, end
IL Ia understood that the Principal argument IN
the defence Is the unf nfeliaOtity ~ Dayis's oath.
ON tho other hand Vt Is felt that II sufficient
evidence can be adduced TO convict Clements
or sutstautlato Dayiss testimony, tbs fun
and extreme penalty Of the law should and will
be meted out to HIN.
