with credit to himself will never find
time hanging heavily on his hands.
Grant found time during his two terms
to travel up and down the land, to at
tend feasts given in his honor, aud to
have a good time generally at Long
Branch during the summer months,
but the affairs of the government were
never more loosely conducted than they
were during his administration.
President elect Cleveland, as is well
known, is pledged to civil service re-
form and those who know anything of
him are we'll aware that he will do
nothing contrary to the civil service
law. Where he attempts to remove
those who hold positions under this
law will be for good and sufficient
cause and in the interest Of that reform
he was elected to promote. Although
it has been said that Don Cameron and
other Republican senators were prepar-
ing to resist the confirmation of nomi-
nation the new president might see fit
to make, it is most likely this is mere
talk. Reasonable men of both parties
give Mr.. Cleveland credit for honesty
of purpose, and the Senate would only
belittle itself by showing a factious
opposition TO the will of the president
or by attempting to dictate nomina-
tions. The constitution makes the con-
sent of the Senate necessary in making
appointments, but consent does not
mean dictation. The president is CO.
ordinate branch of the government.
he is elected by the people and is their
agent and representative, while the
Senate only represents the states in
their sovereign capacity and has no
right to trample on the prerogative of
the people. We do not believe that
even Republican Senate would be so
foolish as to refuse to confirm proper
nominations Mr.. Cleveland may make
on assuming the presidency.-Easton

AGRICULTURE.

yRSrIIATISG STABLFs. - Too often
when the farmer makes the stable warm
he excludes light. Is it any wonder
that so many horses have defective eye
sight OF else are partially blind2 They
are Kept in dark stables and then
brought out to endure the sunlight re-
hected from snow or thu dust OF long
stretches of dry roads. The eye Is
very sensitive organ, and no animal, man
rot excepted, has more sensitive eye
than the horse. 1t soon adspts itself to
surrounding conditions, and if the horse
is kept in dark apartment the eye Will
soon be in no cond ton to stand the
rough usage Of work in the sunlight or
dust. More than this, existing in the
dark affects the general health OF the
body injuriously. Plant, grow pale
and soon cease to grow when kept IN
the dark, but they regain their fresh
NJ IS ard vigor when brought into the
sunlight. Human beings dwelling In
dark houses are pale and sickly, those
whose occupations brings them mucn
into the snn and whose houses are well
lighted are rosy and healthy. 1t is the
same with the lower animals. III con-
fined in darkened quarters their health
suffers. The stable for horses must be
tight that it may he warm, but that Is
no reason wig It should be as dark as
dungeon. Instead of clos ng the win
dows with boards through which no
light can enter, let few panel of glass
be put in the openings. They viii cost
but very little and will not only admit
the light OF the sun but its warmth also.
But III the effort TO make horse stables
tight ventilation is forgotten. There
must be no cracks and holes to admit
cold draughts, it is true. But there
should be ample opportunities for foul
air to escape and pure to enter. When
confined the air of stables soon becomes
iouI. 1t circulatCs over manure, solid
and liquid, and the lungs and pores of
the animals are continually throwing
off eifilyia TO contaninate it. Breathing
this foul air is as unwhoiesome for
horses as Tor man. The way to provide
for its escape and for its replacing by
pure air is to have lattice-work cupolas
on the roof. This foul air is always
heated air, and being heated air. is al
ways lighter, and will rise and pass out
above, while the colder, purer and
heavier air will rush IN and take Its
place. In conclusion the horse stable
should be warm, light and ventilated
a tight apartment, with glass IN the
windows and !attice-work cupolas on
III roof.

PICKLED APPLES Take sweet apples
fully ripe, core and quarter them. Take
two quarts of vinegar, two pounds OF
sugar, one-half ouncs of mace, one of
cloves and one of cinnamon. with a
spoonful of allspice. (These spices
should not be ground. } Let it boil to-
gether ten minutes. Then put In
enough Of the apples to cover the sirup
and let them boil until clear. Skim
them and lay on platter; put fresh to
cook until you have as many as your
sirup will cover when placed in Jar.
These, after few days, sometimes
need to be brought again to the boiling
point, and then will keep any length OF
time,
