Legacy Dussea.

Men dying in this country leave be.
hind them immense wealth, created
more by the labors of others than by
their own, but it is rare that the state
ranks among the legatees. In Great
Britain, legacy and probate duties are
important items in the public revenue.
The estate of the late Duke of Buccleuch
paid into the British exchequer, the sum
of 81, 100, 600 on his Scotch properties
alone. Had we in this State had sim
liar law to that of Great Britain during
the last five or six years. our State tax
would not have averaged ten cents on
500, and in some years there would
have been no State tax. A graduated
legacy or probate tax could be levied
that would bear hardly on no one. The
money and property which goes to the
legstees is often an unexpected gift by
the dead; these often go to strangers to
California and sometimes 10 aliens. The
,sopls whose co-operation hss built mp
i ls Of the great fortunes we have seen
sss through our probate courts, are
more deserving Of recognition than dis
tant relatives whosa existence was never
known to the deceased, and who were
never heard Of until the estate was
about to be divided. We do not mean
confscation Of the property of the dead,
but is it not right that those who helped
to build up the fortune should have =
share in the distribution! The State
undertakes to make will for married
man, and provides for the widow liber-
ally. True. the divisor may give more
than the law does, but be cannot give
less than the law devises. Why not,
then. by law, make the people at large,
legatees to some extent. when millions
are to be distributed among strangers to
the deceased and to the State in which
his fortune was accumulated.-Er.

Preserving Eggs.

An exchange has the following sug.
gestions to offer with regard to preserv-
ing eggs: Farmers who have large guam
titles Of eggs to preserve, store keepers
who take eggs tin trade, aud all Others
who handle large quantities Of eggs, de-
pend upon lime water as preservative.
Casks Of various kinds are used
to hold the eggs, and some coun-
try store keepers have so many that
they require large brick cisterns placed
in the cellar, that are cemented hold inn
mense quantities. While some immerse
the eggs in simple lime water. others
hold that the addition Of small quanti-
ty Of salt increases its preservative quail
tiles. Those who have had an extended
experience advise Stacking bushel of
stone lime and adding water to
make sixty or sixty.five gallons,
and four quarts Of salt. This
mixture is stirred few times at inter.
vals and allowed to settle. The per-
fectly clear liquid is dipped off and
poured in cask to the depth Of fifteen
inches; then eggs to about foot 10
depth are placed in the liquid. and some
Of the pickle that is little milky is
added. More eggs are placed in the cask
and some slightly milk pickle is
added for each foot in depth. When
the eggs are within about four inches
of the top Of the cask, they are covered
with piece Of cotton cloth and upon
the top OF the cloth is spread two or
three inches OF tine lime that settled af-
ter the Stacking. It is important that
there be always sufficient pickle to cover
the lime on the cloth. The object of
placing upon the cloth the lime that had
settled, is to keep the water constantly
saturated with 1t. Should some Of the
lime dissolved be changed into carbon
ate, more is at hand to be dissolved.

Wanted a Pronoun.
New York Sun, 4

The old question Of providing the Eng
lish language with what it now lacks, .
personal pronoun Of singular number
but common gender. is again attracting
the attention Of theoretical grammar.
ans. A writer in the Critic recently
suggested the adoption of the word thon
formed from that and one. He
would say; "If Mr.. Smith or Mrs. Smith
calls, will see thon.'' In the absence
of such pronoun we ore obliged to say !:
.'If Mr.. Smith or Mrs. Smith calls, /
will see him or her." or to get around
the difficulty by using come other con-
struction. No end Of fault has been
found with the thon plan by rival in
ventors. The objections urged are
various. One is that thon SO
closely resembles thou, especially 90
written in manuscript, that there would
be confusion. Another theoretical
grammarian proposes in the Current to
adopt the French article le, and to max 9
possessive, lis, and an objective lin.
BY his plan, we should say, "If Mr..
smith or Mrs. Smith calls, I will see
lin." "Will the lady or gentleman wLo
owns this pug dog please claim Lis prop
erty!' .'If any man or woman breaks
this rule, lie shall be fined S." and so on.
Meanwhile, hundred millions or more
Of EngIish-s speaking people manage to
worry through the ordinary require.
ments Of polite and impolite converse.
tion without either using thon or lin.
1t seems to us inappropriate that the
English language, after waiting five cen
turies for somebody to supply it with
personal pronopn Of common gender,
should be put of with SO awkward Q
fabric as thon, or one so feeble as lie, lis,
lin. How would gosh dot

Cleveland not on Exhibition.


For some time it has been favorite
idea of the Democratic managers in
New York to get Mr.. Cleveland to go
to the city end make speech to labor
ing men in Union Square. But he him
self has just vetoed the project by re-
fusing to be thus exhibited. He does
not think it consistent with the dignity
of candidate for the President that he
should be found on the stump advocat-
ing his own claim to election. And he
is right, 1t scarcely accords with either
personal or official dignity to such man
10 90 about harsnguing crowds on party
questions. BESIDES, Mr., Cleveland is
Governor of New York before he was a

his official business. While it is not
