important Changes In Rules OF Practice Con-
cerning Land Entries.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-In the new code of
rules of practice prepared by the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, approved by the
Secretary of the Interior the most important
departure from the present practice is in respect
to the initiation of contests. Under the present
rules, only party in interest can bring con-
test, except in the case of abandoned homestead
or forfeited timber culture entries. The new
rules extend to every body the privilege of mi.
tiating contests against the party to an entry.

WILL MAKE ANOTHER FLOP.

Ben Butler About to IndOrse Cleveland and
Renew His Allegiance to the Democracy.
WASHINGTON, Aug 18.-The Sunday Capital
claims to have advices from Massachusetts that
Ben Butler will before long come out in q fiat
footed Endorsement of the administration The
Capital says
'.In doing this thing the old gentleman is
making virtue of necessity There is abso-
lutely no other way in which he can have any
future political relations with anybody, He,
like the Tammany men In New York. is now
temporarily in an humble mood, and is LAYING
his plans to resume his relations with the
Democracy in Massachusetts,. He has about
fifty thousand red hot followers in that State,
and with them at his back and with profession
of friendship for the adm listration on his lips,
he calculates that he can succeed in resuming
his control in the organization in that State.
OF course General Butler has no good will
toward the President. He is as much
Blaine man at heart as ever His real purpose
is to head faction in Massachusetts hostile to
the Presidents purposes and plans, hostile to
civiservive reform and every good measure in
the public interest The President is likely to
disappont a large number of Massachusetts
Democrats in his appointment of collector of
the port of Boston. General Butler will, there
fore. ally himself with tt is disappointed party
He thinks he sees throughout the Democratic
party a gathering discomfort with the reform
methods of the administration. He believes
that there is to be widespread revolt against
Mr.. Cleveland, and he thinks that he can turn
this dsatfection to some personal account, but
he will begin operations by protesting in general
terms'as n Democrat his purpose to let bygones
be bygones, and to deal fairly with Mr.. Cleveland.
OF course this means good deal of bobbery in
Massachusetts. But if Butler. with all his eff
forts, accomplished nothing last year, he will
not do very much harm how by this latter day

Uses for sawdust.

When urged to burn or in some other
way dispose of their saw.dust, lumber
me have objected that they could not
afford the cost. There is hope that the
perplexing problem of dealing with
this nuisance may be solved, for a pro-
cess has now been discovered by which
the refuse sawdust may be made to yield
q handsome profit. When dry it is car
BOMBED in iron r%etorts, and in the pro-
cess, there is given off 80 per cent. of
volatile products. the remaining 20
per cent. being graduated charcoal
which can be used in making gunpow-
der, filters, lining refrigerators, and as
a disinfectant, and mixed with a little
tar it could be pressed into hrickssla.-l
used for fuel: % Of the 80 per cent. of
the volatile product is in the form of
fixed gases, which can be used for heat
ing, lighting, ETC.. AZ per cent. is pyroli-
genious acid, and after being purified
and concentrated, is used in white lead,
color, paint and vine gar manufactures.
The sawdust from yellow pine and 9th
er wood rich in resin yields also a con-
siderable amount of turpentine, in the
gathering of which SO many trees are
every year sacrificed. II is estimated
that in saving inch boards of pine, hem

The Width of Streets.

Much advance has been made during
recent yearsi in securing increased space
about inhabited dwellings, and modern
regulations require that a certain max
imum of space shall be given in the rear
of houses and also to the front, the
width of the street being taken into ac-
count as regards the latter space. But
in the State of Illinois the excessive
width of the streets is reported as hav-
ing Of itself become a sourse of nuisance
and of danger to health. Sixty feet and
more are ordinarily given to new streets,
even in the smaller towns; eight feet on
either side ara paved and devoted to
pedestrians; and the remaining space,
varying usually from fortv-four to fifty
four feet, is devoted to carriage traffic.
The result is that this wide carriage
road, S o often in excess of the require
ments of the vehicles that have to travel
over it, becomes q source of such
expense as to forbid its being properly
paved, cleansed and channellcd. The
street consequently is soon turned into
a vast surface of dirt mixed with filth
and refuse, and when the weather is SO
dry that dust is formed the air which is
inhaled as the dust flies about is calcu-
lated to bring about disease as well as
discomfort, instead of promoting the
health of pedestrians. DIR. Gregory in
bringingforward this subject fully con-
c!irs in the great Importance of provid-
ing wide thoroughfares and OF keeping
the number of inhabitants to each acre
down to a proper maximum and hence
he declares that he would not diminish
by a single foot the width of the streets.
But he would curtail the actual road
way, so that it shall only suffice for the
proper demand for the carriage traffic,
and between that limited space. which
could then be properly kept at a reason
able cost and the foot paths he would
plant trees and lay down grass, so as
really to provide in towns and cities
such freshness and greenness as would
go far to induce people to take that form
OF exercise which is most conductive to
health. The hints given are as we'll
worthy of attention in this country as on
the other side of the Atlantic. Some
thing has been done in this direction
both in the metropolis and in other towns
within the past few years, but there is
still room for much that would help to
render u town thoroughfares both
more healthful and more attractive.-

Four Classes of Red Noses.

DR.. William Stevens tells a New York
Times reporter that there are four
classes of red noses, and he describes
them as follows. Those who are afflicted
with these torchlight professions on
their faces can doubtless form their own
Judgment as to which variety affects
them: .
There is the whisky red nose, which
is often cultivated by It's owner with as
much pride and attention as he devotes
to the coloring of the meerschaum pipe.
OF course, the only remedy for this kind
OF q red nose is to abstain from the use
of alcoholic beverages. 1t all depends
upon whether a man will sacrifice his
appetite to his appearance. The second
class of red noses-the kind OF a red
nose that may be associated with the
feature of a gentleman who does not use
liquors. produced by embolism, that
is, by the stoppage or obstruction Of
blood vessels in the end of the nose,
causing the blood to remain there.
This may be cured by pricking with
long needles and letting the blood out.
Does it hurt? Oh, no, of course not;
it's a very pleasant operation, like pull
ing teeth. The third class of red nose
may be called the cancerous diathesis
nose, which is caused by cancer and can
only be cured by the cure of the cancer.
The fourth class OF these red noses
the red nose that is most common to
men and women of good habits, !" as the
gentleman who advertises says-is the
red nose produced by superficial capil-
larry circulation in the veins and arteries
are so minute in their normal condition
that they will not receive the red cor
puscles in the blood, and therefore no
redness is appreciable when the arteries
and skin are healthy. The redness is
caused by o disorganized condition of
the capillaries. The minute veins be-
come enlarged and the red corpuscles
are admitted and show through the skin.
The only cure for these red noses are
climate. diet and exercise-n regulation
Of the system. Some people whose
noses are red in New York would find
them the color of the rest Of their skin
in Florida or at the north pole, and
people whose noses are red in those
places might find them cured in a eli
mate like this.
