A Legal Question.

It is we'll known that when person
disappears and is not heard of for seven
years, the law presumes such person to
be dead. But when seven years have
thus elapsed after mans disappear
ance, and the presumption of death
arises, it may often be important to the
rights of survivors to determine ut what
particular time within that period OF
seven years his death actually took
place. How is this to be determined ?
Most conrts in such cases assume that
death did not occur until the last day of
the seventh year? A decision lately
made in the English chancery division
indicates that they arc not required to do
this, but should endeavor to ascertain
the probable time of death from the cir-
cumstances under which the person dis
appeared. To illustrate, said one of the
justices of appeal, "suppose a person
Intending to return home at ten o'clock
at night does not appear, there is no
presumption that he is dead. But If
after O week he is found with his skull
broken in a wood, you can then conclude
that he was killed before ten o'clock on
the night on which he disappeared. }"
There will rarely be case where the
circumstances surrounding the PERSONS
departure or disappearance will not
afford some evidence, although perhaps
very slight, upon which court can base
q conclusion as to the date of death. In
the chancery case We have mentioned it
was held that the absentee must be pre-
sumed to have died very soon after the
time of disappearance.

Removing Disabilities.

Price NJ. B. Young, q recent represen-
tative in Congress from Georgia, was a
Confederate general and graduate OF
West Point. He came to Washington
soon after the war, seeking to have his
disabilities removed. He is fine, man.
yfellow, and seems to have accepted the
results of the war in good faith. He
went to Thad Stevens, and Thad began
to play with him, rs he sometimes did
with those whom he intended to make
his victims. He said:
"You are graduate of West Point, l
beieve2'

Educated at the expense of the
United States, I believe, which you
swore faithfully to forever defend ?"
eyes, sir"
"You went into the service of the in
fernal rebellion
&C. Yes, sir"
"You were brigade commander in
the raid into Pennsylvania which de-
stroyed the property of SO many OF my
constituents
eyes, sir"
"It was a squad of men under your
direct charge and under your personal
command that burned my rolling mill p
eyes, SIR"
Young thought he was gone, but see-
ing that the old veteran had come into
the possession of the last fact, which
Young did not dream he knew, it was
impossible to deny the truth of his qnes-
ton. Thad roared out: "Well, Like
your impudence. Twill see that yoar
disabilities are removed. Good morn-
ing" And the next day the bill passed
the House.

Mothers Eyes.

A traveller once, who long did roam,
Was returning back to his own old home.
Now, who knew him the first when he struck
the town?
His shoes was dusty, his skin was brown
The hotel man was his friend so dear
They had drank together many schooners OF
beer.
S.ts the hotel man didn't know him again
He was so changed with the wind and rain.
So away he went with nod and smile,
And little gh, for about half q mile.
By a window high his sweetheart sat;
He smiled smile and removed his hat
And his sweetheart didn't know him again,
He was so changed with the wind and rain.
And as he wandered further yet,
His pretty good cheek with five tears was wet.
His poor old mother was walking too,
In the very street he was walking through.
GOOD morning !" he says, but she cried with
JOY,
As she whispered out loud: "My Fritz my
boy"
The wind and the rain can do what they will,
An old mothers eyes will fool them sill.

daily, an amount equal to nearly one
fifth the average daily receipts of the
New York market. He knew that it was
also being manufactured in Illinois and
Ohio.
Discussion upon Mr.. Peters address
brought out the fact that oleomargarine
is being mixed with butter by some of
the creamery men of the West, and the
convention expressed the sentiment that
there was more necessity for looking
after such butter makers than there was
for legislating against the -oleomargarine
manufacturers.
How to Make an Omelet
The first consideration is that the eggs
should be beaten very light and separate
ly, the whites stirred in just before
cooking-this, Notwithstanding it is the
custom of most cooks to make one mat
ter of the egg beating. The pan should
be moderately hot; if too hot, while
there is difficulty in preventing the
burning Of the outside, the inside will
be left half raw and accordingly dis
agreeable. lSI
Ii possible a1Cer The O1n35W lS Oh tue
fire it should not be touched by knife
or spoon. In fact, it is worth while 60
ing in training to acquire the art of turn
ing the omelet by a species Of coaxing
such as is practiced by professed cooks.
This is done by taking the handle of the
pan and gently though abruptly jerking
it so that the omelet will raise itself
gradually, and finally make the required
flop. When done it should be turned
over On folded napkin and doubled.
So much for the omelet proper, which
is capable of taking on new color
every day. To make oyster omelet, cut
off the gristly parts, mince the rest fine,
and stir in the mixture or spread on the
outside before folding. Cold caulifower,
minced, the tops of asparagus cooked
and cut fine, both make nice omelets.
Cooked tomatoes stirred in the mixture
make a handsome as we'll as palatable
dish. For an omelet a,tr fine herbes,
stir in two spoonfuls of chopped thyme,
parsley and sweet majoram. For a
course at breakfast, Jelly and jam spread
on the omelet before folding is an agree
dUl6 variety. lucSc uIS lluIo ouinS1Cue
as to the possibilities of the omelet, but
be it remembered that all are vain unless
the dish be served up hot.
Leaning Trees.
Often in fine orchard we find one or
more trees leaning over so far as to de-
stroy the beauty of the whole orchard.
1t is also much more difficult to culti-
vate around leaning tree. This may
easily be remedied while the trees are
young, by partly digging up and replant-
ing the trees. The roots will usually be
found smallest on the side from which
the tree leans, therefore these roots
should be loosened from the earth, the
tree set in perpendicular position and
carefully fashioned by stakes and guys,
and the earth replaced around the roots.
It would be we'll to add some rich COM
post to promote their growth. II, as is
very probable, the top of the tree has
become one sided it should be pruned so
as to restore the balance. In this way
We have "righted up" pear trees six
inches through the stem; but the best
way is to look after the young trees and
not permit them to depart from the way
of uprightness.

AsI was walking t'other night
Upon my lonely beat
