The Law OF Leap Year.

The Albany Lam Journal calls atten.
ton to an important law relating to the
extra day in leap year, which business
men and others should bear in mind
The Journal says: GAS leap year is
coming it is well to know what the law
of leap year is. The law, it is said,
takes no notice of parts of days, and, as
to the 29th of February, it takes no no.
tice of the whole day. The 28th and
the 29th are computed as one day. For
example: Suppose a note is dated on the
28th day of February, 1880, payable one
day from date. Ordinarily it would be
payable on the 4th of March, and so it
is III leap year, and not on the Sd. In
Indiana the question has recently come
before the Supreme Couat, in respect to
service of process in 1875, the last leap
year. The law there requires 10 DAYS
previous service for the entry of judg-
ment. In the case before the Court the
judgment was premature if the 2Sth and
29th of February were to be computed
as one day. The Court said: sIt must
be regarded as settled in this State that
the 2Sth and 29th days of February in
every biseXtile year must be computed
and considered in law as one day. The
question is set at rest by our statute, l
r. S. m. p. $40, s. s, which provides
hat the added day of a leap year and
he day Immediately preceding, if they
shall occur in any period SO to be COM
Duted, shall be reckoned together as one
lay This embraces statutes, deeds,
verbal or written contracts, and all pub
ic or private instruments.

The Family Purse.

Jennie June is a staunch and very
practical champion of her sex, and she
tells many truths in the way of gentle
criticism which mankind would do veil
to heed This is the way she discusses
the tight grip upon the family pursegen-
orally kept by the head of the house:
This money question between hujband
and wife is one of the most serious
drawbacks to married happiness. and it
is time it was adjusted on a mde just
and equal basis. The life of utter de-
pendence which some women lead is
crushing and degrading. 1t compels
them to resort to petty decepfons, and
forbids the exercise of any nstur.al feel
ing, hope, or aspiration. 1t reduces the
position of the wife infinitely below that
of the servant, for the latter is her own
mistress, and can do what she pleases
with her money after she has earned it.
Men do not realize the utter hopeless
ness and vacuity of ideas to which this
system condemns women. They say,
with what seems fairness, Il do not
spend money for my own pleasure, but
solely for the benefit of my wife and
family; but | know what | can afford
to spend, and / can distribute it in this
way much more fairly and evenly, with
no danger of personal embarrassment.
My wife is 4 good, well intentioned
woman, but she does not understand
business or finances, and knows that for
the welfare of the whole family it is best
that l should see to the general disburse-
ments.' Now, does any body believe
that it is necessary for the welfare of the
family that she should go to him for %
cents every time she needs it for car fare
Or a spool of threads? Isit right or just
to take her imbecility in money matters
for granted before she has been tested?
Is it not Just such women, who are left
by the failure of some speculative craze,
10 their own resources, with the burden
Of a family upon their inexperienced
shoulders, who often display wonderful
powers of energy and calculation, in
addition to thrift and persevering indus
ny, which ought to put all such men to
'hame? Women, as general rule, can
make one dollar 90 as far as two in the
hands of men; and many conceited in
lividuals who now consider that the
social system bounded by the four walls
If their dwellings would cease to revolve
they were taken out of it, would find
,reat happiness and great pecuniary
advantage in putting the control of all
he interior details of their menage in
he hands of their wives, where they
ightfully belong, with an allowance or
livision of the income equal to the re-
This is well put, and is
Justified by experience.

Unsteady CargOes.

In consequence of the great loss of
Atlantic cargo steamers within the past
three months, through cargoes of wheat
in bulk shifting and causing them to cap
size and founder, there is not only an
tensive movement in the North of Eng
land on the part of shipmasters, but
also among iron steamship owners
themselves, who are their own under
writer's, TO put an end to the mischief
Mr.. w. Dickinson of the Quayside,
Newcastle, an extensive iron ship owner,
has got the support of large number
of owners, and at the next annual meet
ing of the Marine Association, to be
held on February 20, a resolution pre-
pared by that gentleman will be SUBJ
mitted that a bylaw be passed to COM
pei all grain shipments to be made in
bags, TO prevent vessels shifting their
cargoes at sea. The cost of bags would
be trifing. They could be resold at
nearly cost price in England, or they
might be reserved for future voyages.
The weight of those bags would be very
little, not much more than of the mod
ern shifting boards now in use, and
which have proved quite insufficient to
keep cargoes steady.-LOndon Times.

PAPER CAR WHEELs.-Few of the
travellers in sleeping cars are aware that
the wheels which bear them across
rapid rivers and lofty trestle-works are
of paper. The question whether paper
wheels are superior to iron wheels was
recently tried at some length in the Unit
ed States Circuit Court at Philadelphia
George w. Holloway ard wife sued the
Pullman Palace Car Company for the
loss of their son, whose death was
caused by an accident to a Pullman
car attached to the Niagara express
train on the night of Nov. l, 1876. One
of the wheels under the forward truck
of the palace ear Woodbine broke, and
the result was that several persons were
killed and many wounded. The plain
tiffs contended that paper wheels were
unfit for use, and that the use of such
wheels was gross negligence on the part
of the Pullman Palace Car Company
A number of witnesses took the same
ground, and testified that only wheels
solidly cast were safe. On the other
hand, the defense claimed that the
paper wheels were more durable than
the best iron, and were practically
indestructible. The plaintiffs were
nonsuited on the ground that their
testimony did not show any liability
whatever on the part of the Pullman
corpOration.-N. 7. Sun.

parley--we did not shoot, but let them
come within a hundred yards of us,
when, without moments warning, the
devils fired on US, killing Longtoe and
both the horses, and hitting me in the
shoulder. Before he was killed, Long
toe had cooked one of the savages, and

animal and waited for a second charge.
They soon came. drew bead on the
first one and killed him, and, running
out, caught his pony by the lariat,
jumped on the animals back, and was
off before they realized what l was up
to. They chased me holly for about 10
miles, and / think the riding / did
would considerably lower the record. 1

behind me, but the dust told me they
were not far distant After a couple of
hours hard riding the pony gave out,
and, to my relief, l found the Indians
had given out, too-anyhow, they were
gone. Perhaps they thought, with the
old saying, the game is not worth the
chase.'n

CRoUsTADEs OF CHICKJN.-Cut the
crumb of loaf of bread into slices two
inches thick, and then with a round
paste cutter, about two inches indiame-
ter, cut out of each slice as manJ pieces
as possible. With another paste cutter,
about one and half inches in diameter,
make mark on one side of each cylin-
der of bread-crumb. When all are
ready, fry them golden color in very
hot lard. A deep frying-pan should be
used, and plenty of lard, so that the
croustades fairly swim in the fat. When
done, lay them on sieve in front OF the
fire 10 drain, and afterward remove the
cover (marked with the smaller paste
cutter), and with the handle of tea
spoon scoop ont all the inside of each
croustade. Mince finely some remnants
of roast or boiled chicken, free from
skin, etc. add an equal quantity ef ham
or tongue, as well as a small quantity of
truffles or mushrooms, also finely
minced. Toss the whole in sauce
pan with a piece of butter, mixed with
a pirch of -four; add white pepper, salt
and powdered spice to taste; moisten if
necessary with little white stock. Stir
in, off the fire, the yelk of an egg, beat
en- up with the juice of half lemon; fill
the croustades with this mince, put a
button mushroom on the top of each,
cover them with sheet of oiled paper,
put them into the oven to get thorough

The Tay Disaster.

The following is description of the
| first visit in a steamboat to the scene of
! the accident:
! As the steamer neared the bridge
what appeared to be broken water was
observed stretching across the broken
gap, marking, it was presumed, the sub
merged girders and train. 1t was seen
| that it would be hazardous to approach
| too near the wreck, and boat was i'm
mediately manned by a bold crew, Capt.
Robertson, the Harbor-master, taking
the helm. They then pulled away out
into the darkness and were soon lost to
view The boat was pulled as close to
the bridge as was deemed safe, and then
her head was turned toward the north
shore. She was pulled across the whole
open space to the first pier intact, then
through between the piers and back
again along the west side till the stand
ing piers on the south side were reached
The task was a difficult and hazardous
one, and the gentlemen forming the
crew deserve great credit for their gal
liant exertions. They were occasionally
within boats length of the remains of
the piers, without seeing a vestige of the
wreck. On the stone portion of one or
two of them few iron bars still re-
NAMED; it was those which in the uncer-
tain light led some on board the steamer
to imagine that they saw human beings.
In regard to the others the whole of the
iroDwork had been swept away, leaving
the low stone foundation standing above
water. The boat having been picked
up without difficulty, the steamers head
was turned homeward. At this time
the moon was shining brightly, and the
full extent of the disaster, so far as the
bridge was concerned, was pretty dis
tinctly visible. The vessel was lying
short distance from pier %, and from
that pier to the Fife shore the bridge
was evidently intact. Then pier 30
showed a small portion of the ironwork
for supporting the girder. From that
to pier Al nothing was visible save the
stone portion of the piers, over which
the storm-driven water was breaking.
The weird aspect which the remains of
the bridge presented in the moonlight
deepened the impression that to the
passengers the end must have come
with terrible swiftness. 1t would be the
work OF moment, a sudden crash, and
train and 'girders would fall to the bot
tom of the storm-tossed estuary in a
common ruin. When it was seen that |
nothing could be done, the steamer pro-
ceeded to Newport.

Cider and Cider Vinegar.

In order to preserve cider, make it from
perfectly ripe, sound fruit as late as posi-
BILE to escape hard freezing weather: strain
and filter perfectly so that no particle of
pomace or other foreign matter is left there
in, and put it into clean sweet casks. Bran
dy or gin casks are as good as any; new oak
ones are not as good usually, although there
is difference in the kind of oak the casks
are made from; white oak is the best, but
should be doctored before using. Fill the
casks with filtered juice and place them in
cool, dark, non freezing cellar, raised six
or eight inches above the ground, away from
contact with any substance liable to produce
mould or fungus. Being made and put away
in cold wea her, fermentation is quite slow.
The bungs may be started and left in place,
which will give sufficient vent in case fer
mentation starts unnoticed.
In the Spring, or after the first fermenta-
ton has mostly passed, bung up tight and
keep it cool in dark cellar with a sweet at
mosphere. l am not certain how long it
will keep, the casks being full. The great
est trouble will be to keep the casks full, as
there is apt to be waste at the spigot. Ii
you wish to bottle it, where lit keeps more
perfectly without waste from opening, al
low the fermentation to proceed only so far
as to give the desired flavor, when lit should
be drawn off into strong bottles, and corked
tightly, the corks tied strongly or wired, and
the bottles laid away in cool, dark cellar.
If the cider does not possess sufficient spar
kle, put in each bottle ,one or two raisins
before filling, and when you open the bottle
months after, it will be with SNAP

To Get Rid of Cockroaches.

A correspondent writes as follows: II
beg to forward you an easy, clean and GER
tain method of eradicating these loathsome
insects from dwelling houses. A few years
ago my house was infested with cockroaches
Tor Clocks as they are called here), and l
was recommended to try cucumber Feelings
as a remedy. L accordingly, Immediately
before bed time, strewed the floor of those
parts of the house most infested with the
vermin with the green peel, cut not very
thin, from the cucumber, and sat up half
an hour later than usual to watch the effect.
Before the expiration of that time the floor
where the peel lay was completely covered
with cockroaches, SO much so that the vege-
table could not be seen SO voraciously were
they engaged in sucking the poisonous mois-
ture from it. l adopted the same plan the
following night, but my kvisitors were not
nearly so numerous-I should think not
more than fourth of the previous night.
On the third night did not discover one;
but, anxious to ascertain whether the house
was quite clear of them, examined the
peel after had laid it down about half an
hour, and perceived that it was covered
with myriads of minute cockroaches, about
the size of a flea L therefore allowed the
peel to remain until morning, and from that
moment have not seen cockroach in the
house. 1t is very old building, and can
assure you that the above remedy only re-
quires TO be persevered III for three or four
nights to completely eradicate the pest. Of
course it should be fresh cucumber peel ev-
cry night. Huntington Hawkeye.
