Anecdotes of Judge Drummond.

Judge Drummond's resignation takes
one of the best Judges living from the
bench. 1t seems greater to be noted in
politics or war, but the man wno wins
fame on the bench is truly great.

The ZOdiacal Light.

The cause of the luminous phenome-
non known as the zodiacal light has
long been the subject of speculation, and
numerous hypothesis have been sug-
gested to account for it. A correspond
ent Cosmos deS Mondes regards the entire
phenomenon as one of the reflection of
light. What we observe is nothing but
reflection of that part of the earth which
is illuminated shortly before the sun
rises and after it sets. In order to
understand this we must assume that
the earth is surrounded for certain
distance by comparatively dense en-
velope of gas, beyond which the latter
exists in a state of great attenuation
We therefore have two media of different
density which influence the rays of light
in the well-known way, refracting them
up to certain limiting angle of Incl
dence, beyond which total reflection
takes place.
If we imagine the sun little below the
horizon. part of the earth directly in
front of us will reflect the rays of the
sun at very obtuse angle: these rays
meeting the boundary of the media at a
very obtuse angle, will be totally re-
Elected, and it is these totally reflected
rays which we see.
This explains the appearance of the
light in the shape of a cone whose line
is always inclined in the direction of the
ecliptic, and whose base is toward the
sun; it also accounts for the fact that the
changes observed in its appearance fol-
low reverse order in the evening from
that in the morning The reason why the
cone is longer in the evening than in
the morning is that the layer of the dense
atmosphere is expanded by reason OF its
exposure to the suns radiation through
the entire day, whereas in the morning
the reverse is the case.

Simplicity of Food.

Salt, sugar, spices and luxurious cook
cry tempt to excess. With men. as with
animals, a natural diet is self limited
and we are disposed to stop when we
have eaten enough. The more artificial
the food, the moG elaborate and luxu-
rious the feast, the more liability to over
load the stomach, overtask the digestive
powers and overweight the forces of
life. Simplicity of food is q condition
of health, and promotes longevity
The quantity of food which enables
man to do his daily work with
out loss of weight is precisely what he
requires. He supplies the daily waste
no more and no less. This quantity may
vary little with each individual, but
every one can easily ascertain his own
measure of requirement by reducing the
quantity of daily food until he finds a
balance of force and weight. The aver
age quantity of water free aliment re-
quires, say by business and literary men,
is twelve ounces. Men of great muscu-
lar activity may require sixteen to twenty
ounces. When any one who is in good
condition for his work keeps his normal
weight he has found food enough.

DR.. Kedzie. of the Michigan Agricul-
aided those engaged in every other pur-
suit and calling, the farmer, the most i'm
portant of all, and the one without whom
no other pursuit could exist, has been al
lowed to grove in the blackness ofignor-
ancc, and what little he has learned has
been by sad experience. We want more
science in agriculture; we want to know
more of the relations of the soils to plant
growth, of the nutritive power of the soil.
In planting peas, says the New York
Herald, let them almost touch one
another. We believe in thick planting
for early results. At any rate let them
be not more than an eighth of an inch
apart. We are aware of the argument
that the nea is gross feeder. But what
you want are peas. Much manuring
makes straw. We fancy land a little
cool This adds to the flavor. Sow late
peas as early as you SOW the early kinds,
unless you SOW in succession. We sow
every two weeks.
A Vermont correspondent of the Coua-

fodder through machine.
Farmers who have old orchards. which
entirely cover the ground, and which
cannot be cultivated or plowed up, can
do no better than to cover the whole
ground thickly with straw or musty hay.
This is best done in the "odd years"
when the orchard does not bear heavily.
A covering of straw six or eight or even
twelve inches thick will generally rot
down and nearly disappear in year
under the shade of an old orchard. When
blowing is impossible this practice is
probably the best eXpedient. Even old
cornstalks are good for this purpose.

Household Recipes and Hints.

Ripe tomatoes cut in slices and served
with mayonnaise sauce are a delicious
addition to dinner.
Do not sponge your old alpaca dress
with soap-suds. but take little cold
coffee, strain it, and sponge all spots with
that
Pies made Of canned pumpkin may be
thickened with flour; use dessertspoon-
full of flour and one egg for each me-
dunn sized pie
To give to soup peculiarly clear APP
pearance, let it get cold, then to half IA
gallon of soup put in the white of one
egg, and the shell also; let the soup
simmer on the back of the stove for ten
minutes or even longer, then strain it.
Fried tomatoes are luxury; peel the
tomatoes, cut in slices about half an inch
thick, dip each slice into white flour,
then into beaten egg, sprinkle pepper
and salt over each slice, and fry in hot
lard. These make good garnish.
A nice way to serve tomatoes is 10 stew
them thoroughly, and they are improved
by slow and gentle simmering, as much
as any other vegetable. Season with but
ter, pepper and salt, and a little sugar.
Line the dish in which they are to be
poured with thin slices of nicely Drowned
toast.
A nice way to cook salt Goldfish is as
follows; Soak a pound over night, and
in the morning simmer in fresh water for
two hours, chop finely and place in a
saucepan, with over pint of milk, two
teaspoonfuls of butter and little flour
mixed well with milk. Let the whole
come to boil, beat an egg up, add to
the fish, stir well, then serve while hot.
This is very palatable dish, especially
for luncheon.
A good roll cake is made from this re-
ceipt: Four eggs, the whites and yolks
beaten separately, one cup of sugar, one
cup of flour, one teaspoonful of cream
of tartar mixed with the flour, half
teaspoonful of soda dissolved in little
water Bake in a quick oven, and in
one sheet, in large tin or dripping pan.
Spread jelly over it very rapidly and roll
it while it is still warm. 1t should be
taken from the tin and be laid upon
damp cloth. Instead of jelly various
other mixtures may be used; thick
boiled custard with grated cocoanut in
it is excellent. Cooked chocolate dress
ing is also very nice.

ANAPPE4L FOR H4RMoNY.

The Fourth district Republican committee
is to meet at Minneapolis tomorrow to take
into consideration what shall be done in ref
erence to Mr.. Barker's nomination of J. B.
Gilfllan for congress. Mr.. Gilillan does not
represent the Republican party; he does not
represent any principle. He was not nomi-
mated by the Republican party and the Re-
publican party is not bound to support him.
He represents the distinguished Barker and
Barker only, by whom he was nominated.
Under such circumstances it is fitting that
the District committee, together with the
wisest and best men OF the party, should as
semble and counsel together. The GLOBE
trusts that wisdom and moderation will char
acterize the meeting tomorrow. 1t viii re-
uuire wise action to prevent disaster at the
polls. Mr.. Fletcher could lead the party tc
victory in November, while Mr.. Gilfillan will
lead it to certain defeat.
L nder such circumstances, If Mr.. Gilfillan is
the patriotic and loyal Republican, the GLOBE
estimates him to be, he will place the crown
which Barker gave him in the hands Of the
Republican committee and request them
either to nominate Mr.. Fletcher themselves
or call new convention with that object in
view. Mr.. Barker could nominate
but he cannot elect Mr.. Gilfllan. Disfran-
chised Washington county, like Banquos'
ghost, will not down, and Mr. Gilfllan owes
it to his party.as patriotic duty,t to step aside
from the Illegal and unenviable position in
which Mr. Barker has placed him, and Join
with the GLOBE and the Minneapolis Tribune
and Minneapolis Journal in giving Mr..
Fletcher the candidacy which he fairly and
justly merits.
The GLOBE appeals TO Mr.. Gilillan in the
interest of harmony to make this sacrifice to
save the party. The claims of the Republi-
can party apon Mr.. Gilfillan are surely greater
than those of Of Mr.. Barker, and the GLOBE
implores him to take this manly and patriotic
action before it is too late. He is Young.

SETTLING DIFFERENCES.
July Ith' the Date Set For The Re-
storation of The Spring Tariff on
Inc Upper Mississippi.
Especial Telegram to the Globe


CHICAGO, June 30.-The freight managers
OF the lines interested in the upper Mississi-
Ppl river traffic met at Commissioner Car
mans Office to-day, and after long session
agreed 10 restore all rates July z, to the
basis of the spring tariff. It
was also decided to allow the boat lines the
old differentials. This disposes of one more
troublesome disturbance in the North
western. Had matters not been fixed up at
to-day's meeting a lively fusilade would have
been inaugurated, which would have severe
ly tested the bulwarks Of the Northwestern
pool. The Illinois Central and st. Paul
favored the Northwestern a week ago with
their ultimatum, which was to openly cut
rates to all common points with the North
western should the latter not come to time
before July 1. The Northwestern people were
satisfied that their competitors meant bust
ness, and they were more than ready to
come to terms.
At the conclusion Of the conference proper
the members engaged in an informal
discussion of Central Iowa mat
tiers that business having been
more or less demoralized since the collapse
of the Central Iowa Traffic association. The
result Of the convention was gratifying in
that it was decided to call meeting looking
toward the establishment of the Contra.
Iowa Traffic association, to be held at Com
missioner Carman's office to-day. The pros
pect of an early settlement of the Des Moines
differences, the only remaining unpleasant
ness in the northwest. is GOOD.

that he had secured orders from

both of himself and Attorney General

himself very cordially. Mr.. Pierce was a
