uow THE TURKS TREAT COMPE.
TurION WITH RAILROADS.

A correspondent OF the New York
fTibsss writing from Constantinople
says:
"Ihe city of Nicomedia on the Sea Of
Marmora il connected with CONSTANT
nople by railroad. A line of steamers,
Subsidized by the government. fur
nishes an alternative route for travellers
A few weeks ago the steamer company
put upon the Nicomedia line steamer
built in feeble imitation of an Ameri-
can river boat--the only attempt in that
direction with which Turkish waters
are endowed. The steamer beat the
failroad in rs running time, while the
superior accommodations left the rail-
rosd not the ghost of chance. Every
body took the steamer and the railroad
ran empty trains. The railroad CON-
pasy then complained 20 the govern
ment OF the outrageous conduct Of the
steamboat company. The authorities
decided that the railroad had right
70 run faster than any steamer. Hence
the Steamboat company had na right
70 use boat thas would beat the loco

EAyAGES,

lhe Mexicans and the Indians of the
cninuahEa region vie with each other
IN savagcrY. The whites are as ready
rs the reds to scalp their enemies. K
rev months ago a party of renchmen
set out for the mountains in search of
Apaches, and came upon a band head

was gaeed for several days. At last

OF TINS party in Chihuhua was Wit

HeratFs staff. They got word from
the Mayor that he would receive them
In the plaza on Sunday. At the ap-
pointed hoar quiet was disturbed by the
changing of the bells in the cathedral
towers, and vast crowds rushed toward
the square. Behind band f music
came thirty horsemen, who were the
victorious ranchmen. Each carried the
rifles and revolvers he had used, and
hanging to the saddles we're the other
arms that had been employed in the
battle with the Apachss. Eight men
en foot carried long poles, from
which dangled the scalps of as many
hated Apaches. When the peopls saw
these they became frantic with delight.
Bravos resounded on all sides, women
waved their handkerchiefs, and the long
line OF excited gazers rocked TO and fro
with enthusiasm, and applauded until
they were exhausted. Bu. hardly had

The San Jose Mercury declares that
the following is striking illustration
of the injustice of our laws in matters
wherein married women ara concerned /:
" Mrs. Ida T.. Andrews. an educated
physician residing In Washington Ter
ritory, il the unfortunate marital prop
erty of shiftless, good d-for-nothiug bus
band, whom she had to support. Find
ing the field for profitable practice
limited ia that section, she left her
husband and came to California. When
she had become established in her pro-
fession and was earning fair living,
she wrote tn her husband that she
would live with him again but he re-
fused, and their ways hencefoith were
separate. One night, over year ago.
Mrs. Andrews had occasion TO visit a
patient ia the night over an old estab-
iished road. An excavation had been
made on this road, and no warning
light or signal placed to denote where il
was. Her carriage overturned, and
she received injuries from which she
became a helpless paralytio. Her
means becoming exhausted, she wrote
W NOT uusSauu fVE support. his Deart-
less reply was that the place for her was
III the hospital, and that he would do
nothing for her. A few weeks ago a suit
was brought by Mrs. Andrews, in her
own name, to recover damages from
certain wealthy persons who had caused
the ditch to be dug in the public road
whereby she received her injuries. The
jury, after brief elaboration, returned
q verdict for $1,000 damages in her
favor. The case. which was prosecuted
by Hon. Grove l.. johnson, assisted By
Charles L. Jones and other attorneys,
and defended by ex-Atsorney- General
Hart, Mr.. Campbell aud several other
lawyers, has been appealed to the Su-
prene Court on the ground that she
had no right to sue in her own name.
That is, being . married woman, her
husband was the only one damaged,
and the only one who had right to
bring suit in the matter. Such is the
common law nonsense that has been
handed down to Us from EnQland-but
whether our Supreme Court will APP
prove the same remains to be seem"
Mrs. DIR. Andrews has many friends
in Waila Walla, where she used to re-
side, and who will watch with interest
the outcome of her case. She ought to
win.

How to Make Potato straws.

Wash pint of potatoes, peel them
very thin, slice them about quarter of an
inch thick, put them into plenty of salted
boiling water, and boil them until they
are tender, which will be in about ten
minutes; when the potatoes are tender
pour them into colander with large
holes and let the water drain off; when
the potatoes arc quite dry, sprinkle over
them a tea-spoonful of salt and quarter
of tablespoonful of white pepper; hold
the colander over one end of large
platter, aud press upon the potatoes with
potato masher, moving the colander
toward the other end of the dish as the
potatoes are pressed through it, SO that
they will fall upon the dish in long rows;
continue to move the colander from one
end of the platter to the other until al
the potatoes are pressed through and
laid in even rows upon the dish; then
wipe the edges of the dish with a clean
towel set it in the oven for two Or three
to heat the potatoes, and then
serve them.

The GoveInment FINANCES.

The decrease in the public debt for last
month is 81, 63O,67 against s13, ,636, ,889
for the month OF January The differ
ence of six millions of dollars is more
than accounted for by the expenditures
of the Pension Bureau, which show an
increase Of s8, 400, 900 over January, and
which have reached the maximum
monthly expenditure SO far attained
during the current fiscal year. The
Customs receipts for February are about
S17, ,OOO. 900, or nearly the same as IN
January; the internal revenue receipts
are about million and three-quarters
less. The aggregate receipts of the last
eight months Of the fiscal year exceed
those of the corresponding period OF last
year by about five millions, and the ex-
penditures are five millions and half
less. The probable amount of the sur
plus to be earned during the fiscal year
depends mainly on the activity of the
Pension Bureau, but it will hardly be
less than S135, 100000 more. The
Treasury holds so, 75O, 900 more of silver
dollars than It did month ago, and has
increased its stock of gold coin and
bullion by about four millions of dollars
during the month";

CORN PLANTING.
4 Practical Farmer speaks his blind on tho
Subject.

The season will soon be here when
preparations for the corn crop will be in
order, hence a few ideas on the subject
Of corn culture will probably be accepta-
bic. It is a mistake the majority Of
farmers make that they do not observe
care in selecting their seed corn, and
this year some Of them will pay big
price to persons who did take care of
their seed. L have received letters from
many parts Of the country complaining
that their corn is frozen and the writer's
do not know where to get good sound
seed. Now oil this can be overcome if
the farmers will observe the proper pre-
cautions. It is no trouble to go into
ones corn field in the fall, just before
cutting corn, and gather as many of the
ripe ears as may be required. Take
these to the house and spread them on
the floor, or hang them ZIP, and then you
are sure of your seed. When you plant
it you do not need to be uneasy for fear
that your corn will not come up.
The first planting is the one to depend
upon, not the second or third. Farmers,
remember this advice, as it will put
money into your pockets. There is also
a great deal in selecting the proper ears
for seed. Aim for length of ear, length !
Of grain and medium cob. You will no.
tice that the tendency of corn is to render
these combined qualities incompatible. |
A very large car has generally short
grain, and long grain is inclined to nc
a short ear. Last of all, do |
not plant more than you can thoroughly
cultivate. The rows should be 81 feet
apart each way, with not more than
three stalks to the hill. We have 1855
nils on an acre, and allowing 100 ears
10 make one bushel of shelled corn, we
lave 105 bushels to the acre.
For drilled corn, rows 81 feet apart,
me stalk every foot in the row, we have
IA bushels; one stalk every IS inches.
70 bushels; 20 inches, "a bushels per
-cre. Now, you may say this will do
cry well on paper, but to get that much
N an acre is different thing. am
veil aware of that, but it can be done if
We will only do it. What is the use in
'lanting twenty acres when ten acres
rill produce ns much by manuring and

4 COurt Clerks Long Nine.

Thomas W Cbinu, of Louisiana, was
n native of Kentucky. When a young
man lie was employed in the Office of q
Court Clerk at Frankfort. The story
goes that he was addicted to excessive
smoking. At length his boss, the Clerk,
gave him peremptOry orders not to smoka
more than three cigars per day. Very
we'll, replied young Chinn, at will
give me no discomfort, to carry out your
instructions. The next morning the
Clerk found him seated at his table
writing with one end of a cigar in his
mouth and the other end resting on &
shelf hard by. It was not much less
than a yard long. Looking on him for
moment with astonishment, mingled
with admiration, he said 'rGet up and
come along with me-you have entirely
too much genius for this room" What
does the reader suppose was done with
him? Why, he was taken to the office
of an attorney at law and the first vol
ume Of Blackstone placed in his hands
the Clerk agreeing to pay all expenses
until he was admitted to the Bar That
being accomplished in due time, he then
removed TO Louisiana and settled at
Baton Rouge. Subsequently he became
a Judge. In 1889 he was elected a Rep
resentative TO Congress as a Wing, and
served one term. In 184o President
Taylor appointed him Minister to the
Two Sici6es. He was a stout, handsome
gentleman, and much esteemed by his
in Congress.
