BURNING GREEN WooD GREAT
LY WAsTEFUL.-Wa Water in passing
into vapor absorbs and hides nearly
LOCO degrees Of heat. A cord Of
green wood produces just as much
heat as a cord of the same wood
dry. In Burning the dry wood we
get nearly al! the heat, but in burn
ing the same wood green, from one
halt to three -fourths of the heat
produced goes off latent and use
less in the evapors ting sap or va
ter. Chemistry shows this, aud
why, very plainly. Therefore get
the winters wood for fuel or kind
lings, and let it be seasoning, as
soon as possible, and put it under
cover in time TO be dry " hen used.
Il will of course season or dry much
faster when split fine. "A solid
foot of green elm wood weighs 90
to So lbs, of which 80 or 35 lbs. is
sap or water. As ordinarily piled
up, if we allow half of cord to be
lost in the space between sticks, We
still have weight of about two
tons to the cord, of which nearly
one ton is water or sap. Such
wood affords very little useful heat
it goes off in the ton of sap. The
great saving Of hauling 1t home dry
is evident-as we get the same
amount of real fuel for half the team
work. Beech wood loses one
eighth to one-ft:h It's weight in
drying; oak, one-quarter to two

LIES DICiPLINE.-It is not the
best things-that is, the things
which we call best-that makes
men. 1t is not pleasant thugs; it
is not tie calm exl eriences in life.
1t is llte's ruggid experiences, it's
tempests its trials. The discipline
OF life is Eere good and there evil,
here troubled and there joy, here
roughness and there smoothness,
one working with the other; and
the aiternatious Of the one and the
other which necessitates adaptions,
constitute part of that which
makes man, in distinction from an
animal V hich has DO education.

HEAVY SHERIFF's FEEs.-The
Wisconsin Supreme Court has de
cided "That TIE sheriff in serving
summons and complaints Is entitled
to full fees allowed by statute, even
when the attorney furnishes the
sheriff copies to serve" The Eau
Claire News says: 'The Aces al
lowed to the sheriff for copies are
ten cents per folio. Chippewa
county, during the past year has
commenced several actions 10 fore
close tax deeds. The summons and
complaints were served by the
sheriff there on defendants residing
in Chippewa county by the sheriff
Of that county, and on the defend
ants residing in Eau Claire county
by the sheriff Of this county. The
summons and complaint were print
ed and copies given to the sherltfs
for service. The complaint IN
some of the cases was very long,
containing over one thousand toiIos
and one hundred and fifty defend
ants. The fees allowed by law to
the sheriff of this county tor serv,
ing those pape,s in all the cases
amount, we are informed, to
about ekoyen thousand d0i(drS, and
to the sheriff of Chippewa county
thirty thousand dotlorS.
Douglas county, some five or six
years ago, had an experience SINH
lar to that of Chippewa. The coun-
ty board was foolish enough to be
led into foreclosing the county s
tax titles, and before the business
ended the costs footed up 81, 200 or
more, we believe!

An IMPORTANT EXECUTIVE On
DER.-An order was issued from
the executive office, on Tuesday af-
ternoon, revoking all appointments
of commissioners of deeds issued
prior to 1875, to take effect from
and after December 81, 1878. Up
on inquiry We learn that 1t was the
practice, up to 1867, to issue these
appointments to run during the
pleasure of the governor, and that
there are now something like twelve
hundred of such appointments, con
ceruing which there is no Intorma-
ton. Many CT the appolntees are
dead: others have removed from
the states for which they were ap-
pointed, and still others have re-
lEduished all connections with
business calling for the exercise OF
the functions OF that office. In tue

A CASH BUSINESS. = Merchants
and tradesmen all over the country
are discussing the question as to
whether it IL possible to do a cash
business. The general impression
is that it would be far better for the
buyer and the seller, if the credit
system should be abolished. In
thinking over this matter, an ex-
change has the following, which we
commend to all:
"Some say that a cash business
cannot be done; let us cite you in
stances where it is the basis Of ey-
cry transaction. How many per-
sons are there, who, when they get
freight from the depot, tell the
agent to charge it ? and when you
get on the train, if it is but five
miles do you say to the conductor,
81 will pay you the last of the
week You 90 to the telegraph
Office, send a message and ask the
operator how much it is. When the
answer comes. do you tell him to
let it run month? The express
companies are in the habit Of hav-
ing tie money when the goods &re
delivered. When you attend .
concert, theatre or circus, DO you
wink at the agent with the remark.
''as soon as [ sell my hogs, I'll fix it
with you ?" A farmer takes load
of wheat or corn TO market; after
it is unloaded he is not in the habit
of hearing the grain dealer say,
'just charge it [ viii call in next
week and pay you" The farmer
expects cash tor his pork and pro-
duce and it is right he should have
it. Cash is required in mailing let
ters and postal cards. They are
only a cent but we don't ask the
postmaster to charge it. Readers,
please remember these things when
about to say cash business cannot
be done.

WASHINGTON. Jan. l0.-Delegates
to Woman Suffrage Convention, this
morning, held meeting of about
two hours duration. Severa, speeches
were made, at the conclusion of which
hymns were were sung. While Mrs.
Lawrence, of Massachusetts,, was
speaking she was interrupted by Mrs.
Crocker, who denounced the cOnven-
ton and delegates in very harsh
terms and was, with much difficulty,
silenced. Immediately after adjourn-
ment committee Of delegates, con-
sisting Of Mrs. Isabella Beecher
Hooker, Elizabeth Boynton Harbert,
and Sarah Anderson Spencer, had an
interview with Vice President Wheel
er and Speaker Randall, the object
being to obtain concert Of the two
houses In permitting representatives
of the convention to present their ar
guments ON the floor of each house.
Senator Sargent and Represents
tive Kelly were in attendance at the
interview. Shortly after the conven-
tion adjourned DR.. Mary Walker and
Mrs. Tillotson, of n. j., who had en-
tered the room during the meeting
made remarks in opposition to . 10th
amendment to the constitution, but
prayed Congress to amend the consti-
tuition so that white woman would
have the same privilege as that allow
ed the colored woman, who, she said.
ct the next election would be found
using her right at the polls through
out the entire country. The meeting
was much disturbed by spectators
who were extremely boisterous,
hisses and calls for various speakers
being INDUCED in.
A select committee Of delegates
will be heard before the Senate COM
mittee ON elections, tomorrow. +

WAsHINGToN, Jan. IL. - Senator
Edmunds has written letter 10 the
President ON the proper relations
which should sxist between the le9ie.

regard to appointments. Az the views
here cot forth by Edmunds are in hsr.
mony with those known to be enter
tanned By the President, Republicans
who have rad them hope that basis
for . perfect understanding between
the administrstion and Republican
Senators may have been here indicat-
cd.
The letter, after pointing out the
corrupting influences Of the old sys-
tenn, stated in general terms In the
formal declarations OF both political
parties Of the country IN the National
Conventions, the Senator concludes
% follows:

could be accomplished In the right
direction by the absolute abstent{on
