a Cottage Water-Fllter

Those who cannot afford 10 buy filter
can easily make one. Stuff piece Of
sponge in the hole OF flower pot. place
above this a layer OF pounded charcoal
three or four inches in depth. Another
layer OF pebbles should be placed above
the charcoal TO prevent it from being stir
red up when the water is poured in The
contents ot the flower pot should be 0c-
casional.y renewed. But by small ad-
dition to this cottage filter may be
made which, Tor practical use. is quite
CqUul to the most expensive filter Of cor
responding size. 1t consists OF two
flower pots. one above the other, the
lower one fl ted with sponge and filter
in layers above described. and the upper
one with a sponge only. The upper pot
should be the largest, and if the lower
one is strong the upper one may stand on
it. or a piece OF wood with hole to re
ceive the upper pot may rest on the brim
Of the lower one. The two pots thus an
ranged are placed on n three legged stool
with hole in it, through which the pro
iecting part of the lower sponge passes.
and the water drops into a jug placed
below. The upper pot serves as a reser-
voir, and the sponge stops the coarser
impurities, ana thus the tilterng layers
Of the lower one may be used for two or
three years without icing renewed if the
upper sponge he occasionally cleaned.
Care must be taken to wedge in the up
per sponge tightly enough to prevent the
water passing through the upper pot
more rapidly than it can filter through
the lnNtr ONE.

The Herald Of SUNDAY morning gave it, read
ers the following ftrvent paragraph:
LET Us thank God and take courage One
more Congress Has gone"
This was said concerning Il Congress which
has given the country more practical. Intelligent
and progressive legislation than HIN which has
record with the passage of /; measure which can
Congress which has prevented financial di~as-
banks which has revised the tariff, and proyid-
cd for taking S10.0O0,00O from the revenues.
and winch has given the country the first lcgiS-
iatiVii fol ttt further Improvement Of the civil
service. But the last Congress is not only criti-
cl>rd by this declaration, but every Congress is
practically proclaimed to be thing to be dread
cd. ii The Herald is right if Congresses are
ml>chleNous, why does not the Herald have the
courage of its convictions and declare for Il Gov
erument which VIII have no Congress: Why
not declare for imperialism? The Congress is
Just what the people make it. W hen the Silver
Coinage act was passed the country was nfutu-
atcd With the cheap money idea. And. general
ly, Congresses represent the public sentiment
and the lack OF harmony in the different sections
of the country. But the worst result of this
general depreciation of Congresses and legiSla-
tive bodies Is that it tends to lead 4 large num-
Der of people to believe that good government
is impossible. that politics is only another name
for scoundresm. and that no decent man can
afford to participate in public affairs. In short
such senSrles> criticism strikes down the fah
i'll popular government, which is essential tG its
success. Boston journal.

Stable Manure in Bales.

Our attention has been called to nov
el way of transporting stable manure. 1t
IS taken while fresh and packed in bales
and compressed something like baled
hay,-in convenient packages for hand
ling. If properly manipulated it will re-
tain nearly all its organic and inorganic
manurial properties, and may remain in
a dry place almost any length of time,
and may be transported to any distance
without in the least detracting from it's
value as a fertilizer In this process de-
composition is slowly taking place a; d
when the bales are opened it is in state

The Modern Camp-meeting.

ne camp meeting OF to-day is very
different affair. 1t is not an eXtempor
aneous festival in which the membership
OF one or more churches take the lead,
select place of meeting, and invite
neighboring churches to participate in
common service, each bearing its share of
the burden, and then scatter to their
homes, to dlsband and be as if they had
not been. No, it is Very different thing.
! IS the fruit Of chartered association,
with corporate rights and franchises. of
the same nature as those which belong to
banking and railroad associations. OF
course, the corporators are religious men.
and the controlling influence is secured 10
the ministry. A copy of such a charter
Is now before ne. 1t gives the institution
lis corporate name, and states Its object
TO be 'the establishment and mainten-
ance OF a seaside resort, founded upon
Christian principles and atfording relig
iOus privileges as well as heathtu rec

Provision is made for the transfer and
redemption of stock. for voting by shares
and by proxy, as is usual in other money
making companies. 1t defines the num-
ber of directors one third of whom shall
be ministers, and one other third shall be
ministers and members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Its president ''shW
be 4 regularly ordained minister Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. having con
troll OF the conventions, assemblies, and
other meetings that may, from time to
time, be held on the premises and the
secretary and treasurer must give bonds
for the faithful performance Of their duty
in one instance, as high as thirty
thousand dollars. Is not this an anomaly
The camp meeting feature, if indeed it is
prominent enough to be feature. is
merely incidental to the main object, viz,
the establishment OF seaside resort.
TO DO this, land must be purchased, stock
must be sold to pay for it, and the pastor
president is to be the executive officer
through whom these conyeyances are to
be made, and by whom AL the real-estate
transactions are to be ratified. The
entire time out of the three hundred
working days of the year. that is to be
set aside for camp-meeting services, is
ten days or fortnight, and the remain
der is occupied with the secular business
OF the concern. From "Evolution Of the

WEDNESDAY. -. JANUARY 10, 1888,
The Succession

On Friday last Mr.. GARLAND spoke in
The United States Senate for perhaps an
hour, and in that time said so much in fa-
yor OF the new bill to control the descent OF
the presidential Office that we cannot but
think IL wiz be passed by the Senate. Mr..
Been. Mr.. SHERMAN, Mr. DAWES, Mr.. HoAR,
and Mr.. GARLAND are all in favor OF 1t, II
we are no; mistaken-names, one would
think, sufficient OF themselves TO steer the
bill safely through that body.
The point that q President pro tenn. OF
The Senate, or rather q senator as senator,
is elected by the people was squelched
eflcctnally 10y Mr.. GARLAND in one sem
tence--yiZ.:
"He Is elected simply by one State"
To claim in the face OF that fact that
DAVID DAVIS or Mr.. ANTHONY is "nearer
the people" Of the United States than MIR.
BLAINE is too absurd for further notice.
Again: In October last Mr.. BAYARD was
President pro ten. Of the Senate. II he
had succeeded Mr.. GARFIELD, his accession
would have been the substitution OF a
Democratic President for a Republican
President, though the people had by their
votes declared for Republican President.
Mr.. MADISON was quoted by Mr.. GAR
LAND as having been in favor OF such law
as we shall have II this bill is passed and
approved.
Again: The Senate confirms Cabinet
officers, and would be very particular in
its action upon their nominations II they
were made heirs TO the presidency. We
shonld thus under the new law secure bet
ter Cabinet officers.
Again: Mr.. GARLAND saws that Mr..
GILES, Of Virginia, doubted the power OF
Congress to provide for presidential cleo
tion before the regular time, as the present
law does. Therefore, there ought to be a
new law. whose constitutionaity could not
be doubted. Mr.. GARLAND thinks the cOun-
try could not have withStood the shock OF
q presidential election in 1881, when Mr..
GARFIELD had died.
The language OF the Constitution is:
"The Congress may by Law" - declare
"what officer shall then act as President,
and such officer shall act accordingly until
The disability he removed or President
shall be elected"
This language has been held to justify
Congress in providing for special presi-
dental election under certain circum-
stances; and such is the existing law.
Mr.. GARLAND SAYS Of providing for spe-
cial election OF President:
al do not believe that Congress has the
authority to do it,"
Why not? Because Congress has power
10 do only two things:
First. To declare what officer shall "act
as President until the disability be re-
moved" Or,
Secondly. To declare what officer shall
Hact as President until President shall
be elected" That is, says Mr.. GARLAND,
the same thing as saying, until aFresident
shall be elected as provided in the Consti-
tuition itself, which provides for none but
regular elections.
