THE HARRISON EMBEzzLEMEST CASE.
Prosecutor Brown Files a Petition Asking
to Enter a Nolle P~rosequi.

Prosecutor Brown will this morning address a
formal petition to Judge Norton, asking to be
allowed to enter a nolle prosequi in the case of
John O. S. Harrison, indicted for embezzlement
and there seems to be little doubt that it will be
granted. The reason for this action is because it
is not believed that Mr.. Harrison can be CON
victed for violating an order of the court made
in vacation, the point beingnow fully set forth
in the petition, which concludes by saying: II
conclude that the court, by its order of the LIST
day of September, aforesaid, believed that the
judge, in vacation Of said Superior Court, had
no legal authority whatever to make the said
order of July "a; that the court, by its own ac-
ton. had no authority to make said order. and
that said order was illegal: said Harri-
son committed no crime in failing
court by its doings, entry and Judgment in the
matter of said receivership. In the opinion Of
said Brown, the making of the order of Sept. i.
1884. annulled and set aside the order of said
Judge, made and entered in July as aforesaid,
and the said Harrison in all respects having
complied with the only legal order Of said court
in the said matter, said court nor the Judge
thereof cannot now ask that its officer, the said
Harrison, be prosecuted further upon said in
dictment, based upon a failure to comply with
an order illegally made by the judge of said
court in vacation.

falls annually to the lot of the privil-

can yet properly compute the sums
which are drawn yearly by their rela-
tons and hangers-on from the National
Exchequer, but it has been reckoned
that within the last thirty years about
E70,000,000, has been paid to sons,

How to Pickle Cucumbers.

Perhaps some housekeeper would like
to know how to pickle cucumbers in a
purely simple, easy way. Try this rule
Wash carefully cucunlbers about two
inches and half long. Lay them in a
jar and cover well with salt, such as you
use in your kitchen. Pour over boiling
water and close the jar to keep in the
steam. After they have stood twenty
four hours, put them into cold water
for six hours to reshen. Spice enough
vinegar to cover them. You can tell
how much vinegar to use by measuring
the water that they were treshenpd in
as you pour it oil. In splicing the vne-
gar use whole cloves, cinnamon, mus
tard seed and a few capsicum pods.
Pour this boiling hot over the cucum-
bers; and, after three days, drop into
your jar piece of alum the size of a
large hickory nut. 1t will take care of
itself. Don't be frightened by the sim
plicity of the process omgregatso

Wet Feet and Garments.

While it is known that colds result
from the unequal temperature of differ

being cold and most of it warm and
perspiring, it is reasonable to refer
many If not most of these to wet and
Geld feet. 1t is as needful for children,
little girls, to wear rubbers, arctics and
the fke-thick boots, rubber and
beaver-when out in the damp SHOWS,
as for adults. and more so, since such
are Trailer. Ii they fail to do so, wet
feet are but the necessary result. And
here it is well to remember that If rub
bers are worn in the house, or too long
at any one time, the perspirable matter
from the feet will wet the hose-prac-
teal wet feet. If from any cause the
feet become wet, it should be the
mothers first object to have the boots
and hose removed, the feet, If cold,
soaked in warm water, till thoroughly

them, wiped dry, thoroughly rubbed
