HOUSEHOLD RECIPES.

HAIR ToNIC.-Bay rum, one pint; alco-
hol, half pint; castor oil, half an ounce
carbonate OF ammonia, a quarter of an
ounce; tincturc of cantharides, half an
ounce. Mix them well. This mixture is
said to promote the growth of the hair, and
prevent it from falling out.
FREcKLE AND TAN REcIpE.-Four
pounds Of good hard soap; shave fine and
dissolve in ten quarts Of boiling soft water;
add one ounce of salts of tartar, three
ounces borax. Then take away from the
fire and set to cool then add one ounce of
liquid ammonia, two ounces glyccrinc and
ten drops of oil Of sassafras.
NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATIsM.-A
very simple relief for neuralgia is to boil n
small handful of lobelia in half a point of
water till the strength is out of the herb,
then strain it off and add a teaspoonful of
fine salt Wiring cloths out of the LIQUID
as hot as possible, and spread over the part
affected. 1t acts like charm. Change
the cloths as soon as cold, till the pain is all
gone; then cover the place over, so as to
prevent taking cold. Rheumatism can

HARD ON THE JURY.

HARD ON THE JURY.
\ jury CT twelve decent men,
Procured from the county ut large,
Is duly empanelled to try
An intricate criminal charge.
The case is not plain, at the best,
Peculiar and puzzling throughout
Then chemists ore brought to the front
To add to the haystack Of doubt.
A chemical battle begins,
And RACES with desperate fury,
'Tis sport to the chemists, perhaps,
But awfully hard on the jury.
Then soon it appears to the court,
To counsel and bystanders too,
That the question of guilt with the case
Has little, indeed, to do.
The question ut issue, though not
In any indictment set down,
Is whether this chemist or that
Can toast the other one brown.
That each is an fraud,
They solemnly, sharply assure ye--
point Interesting to them,
But awfuly dull for the jury,
With boxes and bottles and walls,
And filters and pamphlets and books,
With batteries, glasses, and acids,
And very acidulous looks;
They mix, as they please, nasty messes,
And each removed scientist tries,
Are only productive of lies.
They show by their opposite systems
How poisons may kill or may cure ye,
Which satisfies them, we may hope,
But awfully puzzles the jury.
None question the old and true saying,
That Doctors can never agree,
And why they should fight out their quarrels
In courts, tis not easy to see
In its breach weuld the custom be honored
Which bothers our juries of late,
OF chemist retained by defendant,
And another retained by the State.
So, chemists, reform if you can,
Or justice not long will endure yc;
Your squabbles, though good for your trade.
Are awfully hard on the jury.

WILLS IN RHYME-Thc following verse from
an old number of Blackwoods Magazine warns
all women against making their own wills:
'Testators are good but a feeling more tender
Springs up when L think of the feminine gen
der;
The testatrix for me, who, like Tclemaque's s
mother,
Unweaves at one time what she wove at another;
She bequeaths, she repcnts, she recalls dona-
tion,
And she ends by revoking her own revocation /;
Still scribbling or scratching some new codicil-
Oh success to the woman who makes her own
will :"
Wills in rhyme arc rare. In o case decided
in the Probate Court in 1875 the testator made
q codicil to his will as follows 80
81, having neither kith nor kin,
Bcqucath all have named herein
10 Margaret, my dearest wife.
To have and hold hers for lifc;-
While in good health and sound in mini,
This codicil I've undersigned"
Another cul ious specimen of will in rhyme
is that of Mr.. William Jacket, Of Islington,
Middlesex, proved in 1889:
81 give and bequcath
When I'm laid underneath,
To my two loving sisters most dear,
The whole of my store,
Were it twice as much more.
Which Gods goodness has granted me here.
''And that no one may prevent
This my will and intent
Or occasion the least law racket,
Vita solemn appeal,
| confirm, sign and seal,
This tho true act and deed of WILL JACKET

Madam Restell, the notorious, is still i'm

Donohue to-day on habeas corpus, but the
Judge decided he could do nothing for her.
Meanwhile, Justice Kilbreth changed his
mind, and offered to release the woman on
$4,000 bail Then the question was how
to get men willing to publicly sign her bond
Her counsel said he had many gentlemen
present competent and ready to qualify for
his client, with one proviso, however,
the examination as to their financial stand
ing should be entirely private, that their
bonds be made out and executed at that
private examination, and then locked up.
ssWhat for?" asked the court.
'sYour honor, replied the lawyer. s'this is
peculiar case.
I can find plenty of gentlemen willing to

who will allow himself to be published as

The friends of the Merrill Job are assum-
ing almost too many virtues. The GLOBE
has endeavored to discuss this matter fairly
and without examinations or personalities.
We regard it as a pure question of public
business policy, and believe it should be so
treated. If the friends of that measure
would like to have war, which would be of
another character, if they desire to see the
''inside history of this stupendous job,
they can be accommodated. We are
willing to accord to many honest
motives in supporting the measure, but we
say without fear of successful contradiction,
that no measure such as the one pending in
the House, could pass either branch of the
Legislature upon its legitimate merits alone.

rs THE MERRILL BILL CONSTITU
TION4L.


Can the present Legislature, by contract
with private party, to continue fifteen
years, bind the people of the State to it's OBJ
servance, or abridge or restrict the powers of
succeeding Legislature to annul or modify
the contract? The Republican Legislature
of this State has already answered the ques-
ton in the negative. On the 10th of March,
1853, an act was passed for s'the letting of
the State printing, binding and advertising,' y
On the 11th day of December, 1853, the
State, in pursuance of the foregoing law en-
tered into contract with Earle S. Goodrich
for the execution of the public printing,
binding and advertising, during the term of
two years from that date. The contract was
signed sealed and delivered.
The Legislature, on the 21st day of De-
cember, 1859, against the protest of MI.
Goodrich, annulled the contract and de-
clared it null and void, taking the matter
out of the Jurisdiction of the courts
entirely, and declaring ''that the question
that one Legislature can not abridge or re-
strict the rights or prerogatives of it's sue
cessors, is SO well settled, and has been SO
long acquiesced in, that your committee does
not think it necessary to recur to authorities
to sustain the position. All acts of any
Legislature, therefore, which attempt to in.
terfere with the rights and prerogatives of Q
succeeding Legislature, must be null and
void at least, SO far as they encroach on those
rights or prerogatives."
| This is the precedent established in 1859
now we have proposition to bind the State
for fifteen years, and to place the public
schools, or rather the education of the chill
dren, of the State in the hands of a iobbine
book publisher. We commend all parties ir
interest to the proceedings of the Legisla
ture Of 1S59-6O, as found in the journal o1
the House, PIP S9-104, and we take occasion
to intimate that some subsequent Legislature
may repudiate the Merrill job, if the iro1
clad supplemental bill becomes law.
A suit is already pending in the
Supreme Court, which raises the question o
the constitutionality of the law, and it migh
be we'll for this point to be settled before tht

ONE of the coolest things on record, was
the presentation of petition in the House
yesterday afternoon from Ramsey County
urging the passage of the supplementary
textbook bill. While it was ostensibly from
the county it was in reality from St. Paul.
When the original bill passed special effort
was made to prevent its application to this
city, and that effort proved success. Now
st. Paul sends in petition to have the
Merrill law crammed down the throats of
other people. If St. Paul regards the Mer-
rill law as treasure, why does not she ac-
cept its provisions?
