shower of very fine dust began falling

vegetable and dutiablc at ten per cent.
Then n jury tackled it, and day before
yesterday rendered verdict that the
bean is neither vegetable nor garden
seed, but simply what's IT, 1t was
an unprciudiccd jury too, for before be-
ing impanclcd each Of the twelve said
that he had no prejudice against the
beam and had not made up his mind
as TO its merits and proper idcntitica-
ton -Four of the jury said that what
they had read about the bean in the
Boston newspapers had not prejudiccd
them either way, while the other eight
said that they had never read a Boston
newspaper, and did not really know
there were any papers printed there.
So the bean for the present bangles
from the peg of uncertainty; but fur.
ther efforts will be made 10 definitely
locate it. The allimportant question
will now 60 to the Supreme Court,
where we may confidently expect de-
cision that will decide something.
There are some epicures on the Su.
prome Bench, and, of course, they will
be able TO tell what bean is by simply
looking at it; nor will there be need Of
long-windcd speeches in discussing the
question before that court; and Boston
will take some comfort in the fact that
her fnvorite now has champion who
Is learned both in the law and the
bean. Judge Gray is from Boston,
and If any of his confreres should be
the least bit doubtful about the taste or
the effect of the bean he can soon en-.
tighten them. Let us hope that the
question will be enlarged before this
august tribunal so that its decision will
also determine whether that lively
combination known as pork and beans
shall be cla>scd among live stock or
among preserved meats.
THE bill which the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs reported yester.
day, appropriating half million dol.
lors toward building the Grant monu.
ment in New York, is evidently based
upon the theory that the people of New
York in starting out to build million
dollar monument on their own account,
''bit off more than they could chaw, 3"
in the classic language of Jcdgc
WaXem, and, therefore, to prevent an
inevitable tlasco, the General Govern
ment must come to their relief. As the
matter now stands, New York, instead
of having to raise 81 ,000, 900, will only
be asked to contribute $3.50, ,000 or
about S135, 600 more than what Is now
in the fund, while Uncle Sam will put
in $500, 600, bringing the total cost of
the structure up to $50, 900. 1t strikes
us that this appropriation ought not to
be certainly not, if there is any
serious contemplation of building
Grant and Lincoln monuments in
Washington, to cost million dollars
each. There should be no question as
to the propriety Of erecting the chief
memorial to Grant at the National
Capital. Would il not be well, then,
in making appropriations for monu-
ments elsewhere to draw the line at d
somewhat less eXtravagant limit than
named in this suggested donation &c
New York?

Said citizen of st. Louis the other
day to reporter of the New York
star. 1T has been known for some
time that General Sherman is not con.
tent to remain in st, Louis, although
he has magnificent house there in one
of the most desirable portions of the
city. When he first went there to live
he had trouble with the officials for
violating an ordinance regarding his
water supply, This somewhat soured
him against the city, and he talked of
changing his residence. But at that
time he had family ties binding him to
st. Louis. His daughter and son in law,
cx,Lieutenant Thomas NJ Fitch, were
very comfortably situated, Fitch was at
the head of one of the largest wire mills
in the country, and there was every indi
cation of his becoming very rich man.
At the suggestion of General Sherman
he organized the Missouri Immigration
Society, and advanced to it
about 100000, believing that the
merchants of st. Louis would make

Says Washington special to the
Troy Times: \ gentleman of this city
who held conversation with Civil.
Service Commissioner Edgerton few
days ago asked Mr.. Edgcrton why the
Administration had not made a greater
number of removals in the Depart.
ments here, The commissioner replied;
Because the Democratic party is too
cowardly to make changes, even where
they would be justified in so doing"
Further along in the conversation
reference was made TO the fact that Mr.
Burt, the general superintendent of
railway mails at Cincinnati, had been
TeappOinted for new term, notwith.
standing his Republican affiliations.

the Postmaster General justified this
course on the ground that he could not
find a Democrat familiar with the du-
ties of Mr., Burt's place. That is very
Illogical and inconsistent. received
the appointment of Civil-Servicc Com.
sioner without having anything but
general knowledge of the duties. 1t Is
absurd TO keep Republicans in Office
because there are no trained Democrats
to succeed them. If that course Is to
be followed out there is nothing in the
line of II position under the Government
for Democrat TO expect. 1t Is severe
on the Democratic party and will serve
TO weaken the organization

COLONEL j. w. CovENEY, secretary
of the Democratic State Committee of
Massachusetts, seems to be the man
most spoken of as successor of General
N. p Banks in the United States Mar
shalship. But there is not much prob
ability of an early change under exist
ing circumstances. General Banks has
two years more to serve and even
among Democrats there is strong
disinClination to disturb him.

: KEEPING FRUIT.

1t is stated that experiments have
been made in keeping fruit in jars
covered only with cotton batting,
and at the end Of two years the
fruit was sound. The following
directions are given for the process
Use crooks, stone butter jars, or any
convenient dish. Prepare and cook
the fruit precisely as for canning
in glass jars; fill your dishes with
fruit while hot, and Immediately
cover with cotton batting securely
tied on. Remember that all putre-
faction is caused by, the. Invisible
creatures in the air. Cooking the
fruit expels all these, and as they
cannot pass through the cotton bat
ting, the fruit thus protected will
keep an indefinite period. It will be
remembered that Tyndall has proved
that the atmospheric germs cannot
pass through a layer Of cotton

REMEDY FOR R

For slight burns cover all the in
jured parts with a layer of powdered
soda. For deeper burns, but where
the skin is not broken, dip linen
rags in a solution made by dissolv-
ing about one-third Of an ounce of
soda in a pint of water, lay the rags
on, and keep them moist with the
solution. For very severe burns
followed by suppuration FORMATION
Of pus), apply the rags in the same
way, keeping them moist, but fire.
quently exchange them when dry
for fresh ones, and carefully wash
off, with the soda solution, any mat
ter that may not be absorbed into
and poison the blood.

REST AWHILE.

@~&--~
will be still to-day and rest,
Twill be still and let life drift; 80
l am so tired that it is best
Neither my hands nor eyes to lift.
/ am so tired-itI is 40 use,' -
My will cannot my need obey;
O Care, l ask . few hours truce,
Ipray thee let me rest to-day.
And so, shut up in restful gloom,
/ let my hands drop listlessly;
Within my dim and silent room q
would not move, or hear, or see,
Oblivion dropped on me her balm
l fell on slumber deep and sweet,
And when 1 woke was strong and calm,
And full of rest from head to feet.
So, toiler in life's weary ways,
Pity thyself, for thou must tire;
Both body, mind and heart have days
They cannot answer their desire.
Birds in all seasons do not sing,
Flowers have their time to bloom and
fall;
There is not any living thing
Can answer to a ceaseless call.
Sometimes, tired head, seek slumber
deep;
Tired hands, no burden try to lift;
Tired heart, thy watch let others keep,
Pity myself and let life drift.
A few hours rest perchance may bring
Relief from WEAKNESS and pain;
And thou from ~listless languors spring,
And gladly lift thy work again.
