Newspaper Honor.
rom Col. G. A. Pierce's Address at Fort
WaCpa

From Col. q. A. Pierce's Address at Fort
Wayne.
A short time ago q discussion arose in
Chicago as to the relative duties of law
yers and newspapers, and the following
query occurred to me: What would be
said of any respectable journal that
should take fee for trying to make
black appear white that should uader-
take the defense Of & notorious murder
er, for instance. Net secretly, and while
pretending to be impartial of
course would be intensely hypocritical
and dishonorable-but openly and noto-
riously2 The accused party would say,
for instance: II want defenders. /
will hire Lawyer Such-a- One and News
paper So-and So" What an outcry would
go up, and yet what is it that makes
such an act highly dishonorable on the
part of the newspaper and perfectly
permissible and proper on the part Of
the attorney? Is newspaper honor held
too high? or is legal honor held too low2
I believe time will come when law.
yer's duties will be confined to seeing
that murderers and highway robbers
have fair and just trial according to
law, and when no amount of money will
be allowed TO convert them into paid
eulogies OF dangerous men.

FIELD AND FARM.
Notes for Farmers,

Sugar made from beets is only two
thirds rs sweet as that made from cane.
Wisconsin cheese factories report an
active season. There is general in
crease in the amount milk delivered.
The asparagus bed will also be consid-
erably benefited by an application of
this compost; or, if this is not at hand,
scrapings of rich earth from the barn
yard or from where manure heap has
stood will answer as we'll, if spread on
from three to four inches (or more) in
depth.
Colman's Rural World: Just befor re
the last plowing or cultivating of corn
scatter rye at the rate of about bushel
and peck to the acre. 1t will give ad-
mirable fall, winter and early spring
pasturage, and put all kinds of animals
in tirst-rate condition. We have prac.
hced this method of seeding to rye for
years with the greatest benefit, and re-
commend it. The same land can be put
in corn next season, and the green rye
turned under in spring is great aid in
fertilizing the soil.
10 CURE REEF,-For one hundred
pounds Of beef, nine pounds of salt, two
ounces of saltpeter, two ounces of black
pepper, and one pint ofmolassess. Pack
your beef in q cask and put all of this
mixture over it, then pour boiling water
on the beef until covered, cover tight,
and you will have corned beef that will
keep a year.
We do not know of any practical
method Of ridding land of cutworms and
wire-worms. Applying insecticides is
too expensive, and catching by hand
rather laborious and tedious work, be-
cause the game sought is not only small
but usually keeps out of sight. Wire
worms will in most cases be extermin-
ated, or at least disappear, after the
land has been cultivated few years;
but the cutworms are more likely to in
crease.

Practical Hints Regarding the Care
ofOhildren in Hot Weather.

OfChildren in Hot Weather.
From the Cleveland Leader.
With the arrival of the extreme warm
weather cholera infantum has again
made its appearance. Four deaths from
this disease were reported at the health
office yesterday, and it is probable that
the number will be increased from day
to day until the last OF August No
malady is more dreaded by mothers,
and none, is perhaps more rapid in its
action and so universally fatal in its re-
suits. During the heated term the little
ones are never safe, and mothers can
not exercise too much care regarding
their chlidren's food, clothing and bod
lily condition. "Cholera intantum,"
said DR.. j. T. Isom yesterday to a Lead.
er reporter, sis as much like Asiastic
cholera. as it is possible to imagine.
1t is caused principally by ex-
treme heat. When the temperature at
night ranges from 70 degrees up
ward many cases Of the disease may be
expected, but if the nights are cool
there is not so much danger, no matter
how hot the days. During the day, let
the weather be ever so warm, child
will not be so much affected by the
heat as while sleeping, and for this rea-
son the warm nights cause most of the
trouble. Extreme heat in childs
body, will arrest the process of digest.
ion, diarrhea ensues, and If this is not
checked it will eventually run into cnol-
cry infantum. The disease is sometimes
rapid in its action, the little sufferer dy-
ing within few hours after being at.
tackled, while in other cases child may
be eick for weeks with summer com.
plant before chhlera infantum ensue.
The discharge in cases of summer COM
plant is filled with particles of curdled
milk, which can not be djgested, but in
the last stages of cholera infantum the
discharge is clear and colorless, like rice.
water, and is filled with albumen. This
discharge is nothing but the watery
portion of the blood which leaks through
the intestines. Many children die lust
as If they had bled to death, but in most
cases of cholera infantum the patients
are seized with cramps and spasms, dy-
ing in great agony. Teething children
are more apt than others to be afflicted
with this disease, for the reason that the
nervous system is in con slant state OF
irritation, and the reflex nervous action
generally affects the stomach first.
Yes" continued the doctor. Sin the
great majority Of cases children die from
neglect; not that parents do not try tc
cave their lives, but because they do
not'know how to take care of the little
ones. During the warm months the ba.
bies should be kept as quiet as possible.
During the day it is a good idea to give
them plenty Of fresh air. They should
be permitted to play out of doors in the
shade all day, and before they are put
to bed at night a cool bath would reduce
their temperature aud fit them for q
good nights sleep. Mothers who nurse

drawn into the air, and we, with the furniture were
swept In one jumbled mass along the ground; but
none OF us were badly injured, though somewhat
bruised All the furniture was broken in frag-

hail fell In torrents all this time, and threatened
to beat our brains out Not a vestige of my sta

Lining Eggs.

Alta recent meeting of a western dairy
an egg association the following direc-
tions were indorsed: To make pickle
use stone lime, fine salt and water, in
the following proportions: One bushel
of lime, eight quarts of salt, twenty-five
ten-quart pals of water, The lime must
be of the finest quality, free from sand
dirt; lime that will slack fine, white and
clean. Have the salt clean and the water
pure and sweet, free from all vegetable
or decomposed matter. Slack the lime
with portion of the water and salt.
Stir welt three or four times, at intervals
and then let it stand until we'll settled
and cold, Either dip or draw off the
clear pickle into the cask or vat in which
it is intended to preserve the eggs
When the cask or vat is filled to the
depth of fifteen or eighteen inches,
begin Ito to .hp., put H.; in the he! eggs,
some pickle that is little milky in ap-
pearance, made SO by stirring up some
of the very light lime particles that set
tied last; and continue doing so as each
lot of eggs is added. The object of this
is to have the fine lime drawn into the
pores of the shells, as it will be by a
kind of inductive process, and thereby
completely seal the eggs. Care should
be taken not to get too much Of the lime
in; that is, not enough to settle and stick
to the shells of the eggs and render
them difficult to clean when taken out.
The chief cause of (thin, watery whites
in lined eggs is that they are not prop
erly sealed in the manner described.
Another cause is the putting into the
pickle old, stale eggs that have thin,
weak whites.) When the eggs are with
in four inches of the top Of the cask or
vat, cover them with factory cloth, and
spread on two or three inches of the
lime that settles i'll making the pickle,
and it ls of the first and greatest import
ance that the pickle be kept continually
up over this lime,

STREET IMPROVEMENT NOTES.

Columbia street, under Contractor
Cummings, is undergoing rapid trans
formation. At the residence Of ]. F.
Mcknight cut has been made Of from
four to ten feet, while q block further
east il Gil Of from six to twelve feet
in depth. Between Eighth and Ninth
streets is another big cut, and that is
where the men are working now.
Contractor Simpson, with small
force, began the improvement Of Main
street yesterday. The force will be in
creased as soon as the men and animals
can be obtained. This Main street i'm
provement is one of the biggest jobs of
street work yet tackled.
Upon the completion of the jackson.
Main. James, and Columbia street
grades the excellent opportunity will be
offered enterprising capitalists to inau-
Rurate the cable system of street rail-
reads.
The improvement of South Second
street is we'll nigh finished from the
track of the G. l. p. 8. Il. r. to the o.
cidental Hotel. This week will finish
it, sidewalk and all.
Work has not yet begun on James
street, nor on jackson street. and can
not until the men can be obtained. This
will not be long, though. On Cherry
street certain opposition aroused has
caused delay, but it, too, will be only
temporary.
Lower Mill should be one of the next
streets undertaken, but should not be
touched unless the work can all be done
before the wet season begins.
The Washington street cut is now as
far west rs Seventh street. with fifteen
foot face in front.
Contractor Hoole is nearly ready to
put on cars to facilitate moving the earth
from the cut east of Seventh ON Wash
ingtOn down into the 'Sawdust Flat"
1t is expected that everything will be
ready by Thursday. These cars are
calculated to do the work OF twelve
teams, and will speedily fill up the low
space between Fourth and First streets.
The impolicy, and the want Of pru
dent economy, in building houses and
sidewalks and laying pipes and drains
without regard to future grades, has
been plainly evidenced here in sc0res OF
places of late. Nov that grading has
begun. other improvements should be
DELAYED. A great deal of money would
thus be saved. better work done, and
greater satisfaction secured.
