The anxiety of the treasury department
to give "relief'' to the distilers of whis-
key may speak well for the government
interest in q distressed class of citizens,
but the people who really need "relief''
are the miserable mothers, wives and

A queer case Of lost win has Just
been revealed in Buffalo, Robert
A. Wallace, who was twice married
and had two sets of children, died
about eight years ago. He had told
his near friends that he had made 1
will which provided for all his chill
dren, together with a daughter Of his
second wife by q former husband.
No will could be found, and the estate
was settled in the usual intestate
way, the widow receiving her third,
then the widow died aud she left
will. disposing Of her third to her
own children. including her daughte.
who was not Wallace. Recently
the body of Wallace was exhumed by
authority of his children, who had
never been satisfied about the lost
will, and the will was found beneath
the folds of his crumbling coat. It
was sufficiently preserved to be re-
cognized as will, and portion Of Il
could be read. The question is, who
put it there9 And it is fair to pre-.
sumo the dead man did not. The
estate has been settled, and will not
be disturbed, but it is satisfaction
to the Wallace children to know
that there was will, although no
way to reach it when it Tas wanted.

Ipmortant Land Decision.


Among the important cases deter
mined in our circuit court this week
are those of j, Al Hudson curator
of Sallie Henderson, miner, against
Henry Detienne and Mr.. Burgdorf of
the eastern part of this county, in
voIying the title to a farm in the
same neighborhood, containing I60
acres of valuable land. 1t seems
that the land originally belonged to
L. L Henderson who died in the
spring of 1867, leaving his farm as a
homestead. Deceaeed left a wife
and one child by the surviving wife,
and four children by former wife.
The last wife finally died, leaving
one child of her own, so that there
were five children In all. It was
claimed that the five children inher-
tied the land equally. Detienne
bought what he supposed to be two
fifths interest in the land from two
of the children of the first wife and
Burgdorf secured similar claim,
through the same channel from the
other two children of the first wife.
Hudson claimed that, under the law
of 1867, the last wife inherited the
land absolute, subject only to a
homestead interest of the children of
the former wife until they become
of age, and as they are now all of
age, his ward, SalIie Henderson, be-
ing the only child of the widow left
by Henderson, the widow having
since died, in turn inherits the land
absolutely, and sued in ejectment for
possession of the land and for rents
and profits for 1884. Finding for
plaintiff, with rent at 81 per acre
and S25 per month damages for time
land is held in future. Same finding
in both cases. Mr.. Hudson became
curator of Sallie Henderson only
about year ago, the former curator
having neglected to claim and take
of the farm for the ward.

washing withot Rubbing.

A lady in New Jersey writes:
s'Your column devoted to "The
Household has interested me greatly
and enclose you directions for
washing which save all rubbing.
These directions were sent me from
Germany and have proved boon to
rich and poor alike, wherever rec
commended. Into large boiler full
of boiling water shave pound and
one-half of good brown soap Cor its
equivalent of soft soap will do) and
pour a half teacup full of kerosene
oil. Soak the cloths over night,
next morning put them into a boiler
and boil exactly 20 minutes, stirring
frequently. Take out, drop into 8
tub of clean hot water, and wiring
into second tub and again into q
third. Starch and blue. If soda
or any washing fluid is added, the
whole process will prove unsuccess-
full. I hope that many will try this
plan of washing. Those who dc
will find Monday Invested of its hor-
rors as washing-day. The clothes
must be wrung through three clean
waters, and the directions closely fol
lowed to insure success"
There are several kinds of wash
boilers sold that are made upon this
principle.
The boiling takes the place of rub
bing. But it will be hard to con.
vince house-keepers that it can be
omitted. New York Observer.

Frozen Apples.

1t is the general opinion that an
apple once frozen is of but little
value, in fact, that it will be soft and
iifeless? but it is not so, if it does
not thaw too rapidly, and Is not dis
turbed until the frost is entirely out.
When it is discovered that a barrel
of apples has frozen the usual prac-
tice is to remove them to warm
place, and sometimes they are taken
out of the barrel and plunged
into cold water. This is all wrong.
When an apple is. frozen 1t should
be left undisturbed until 1T is very
certain that the frost is all out Of it.
If the apples are in an open barrel
or box, they should be covered over
so as to keep them cool and in the
dark, but in doing so care should
be taken not to touch the fruit, for
wherever frozen apple is touched
it viii make soft place. In fact
the simple rolling over Of a barrel
of apples viii ruin it. In freezing,
apples shrink so much that q barrel
will not be full by nearly peck; in
consequence of this, in rolling bar
rel over it bruises every apple, and
every bruise will show when the ap-
pie thaws, and win soon begin to de-
cay.
When apples are frozen IN tighi
barrels, If they are not moved unit
entirely thawed out, it win not in
jure them in the least, unless they
chance to be in open air or where
they vii suddenly thaw out. WheE

Zero.

Zero on the common thermometer
like the fanciful names of the con
stellations, is an instanc of the way
wise mems errors are made immortal
by becoming popular. Zero comes
to us through Spanish from the Alab-
ic, and means empty, hence nothing.
In an expression like a90 degrees
Fahr., the abbreyiatlonF Fair. stands
for Fahrenheit, a Prussian merchant,
of Dantzic, ,.on the shores of the Bal
tic sea. His full name was Gabriel
Daniel Fahrenheit, From boy he
was close observer of nature, and
when only nineteen years of age, in
the remarkably cold winter of 1705,
he experimental by putting snow
and salt together, and noticed that it
produced degree of cold equal to
the coldest day in the year. As that
day was the coldest the oldest inhab-
liant could remember. Gabriel was
more struck with the coincidence of
his little scientific discovery, and
concluded that he had discovered the
coolest degree known to the world,
either natural or scientific. He call
ed that degree zero, aud constructed
a thermometer, or rude weather glass,
with scale graduated up from the
zero to the boiling point, which he
numbered PIP, and the freezing point
80, because, as he thought, mercury
contracted the thirty-second of its
volume on beng cooled down from
the teperature of freezing water to
zero, and expanded the one-hun-
dred and eightieth on being heated
from the freezing point to the boil |
ing.
Time showed that this arrange
ment, instead of being truly scien-
tific, was as arbitrary as the division |
of the Bible into whole verses and |
chapters, and that these two points
no more expressed the real extremes
of temperature, than ''from Dan to
Beersheba'' expressed the extremes
of Palestine. But Fahrenheit's ther-
mometer had been widely adopted /
with Its own convenient scale and
none thought of any better until his
name became authority, for Fahren-
heit finally abandoned trade, and
gave himself up to science. The hab-
it made people cling to the establish
ed scale, as habit makes the English
cling to the old system of cumbrous,
fractional money. Our nation began
to use Fahrenheit's thermometer
about the middle of the last century,
or not far from the time when old
style was exchanged for the new
style in writing dates.
The three countries which use Fab
renheit are Holland, England and
Russia and Germany use
thermometer, in which
the boiling point is $50 degrees above
freezing point. On many accounts
the Centigrade system is the best.
and the triumph of convenience will +
be attained when zero is made the
freezing point, and when the boiling
point is made 100 or 1000 degrees
from it, and all the subdivisions are,
fixed deeimally. If Fahrenheit had
done this at first, or if he had made
II one of his many improvements af-
ter the public adopted his error, the
luck of opportunity, which was really
his, would have secured to his inven-
ton, the patronage of the world.

second time an apple freezes there
is more danger of injury.
The danger of freezing apples to
keep them is in having the frost
leave them too suddenly. If one
could have full control over the tenn
perature, so as to freeze them in au-
tnmn; and have them kept frozen till
spring, there would be no loss by
decay, and Rhode Island Greening
could be kept in good condition two
months after being thawed out
