A Freak of Nature

This is time of the year when every
other man complains that his feet hurt
him. II is always SO just before spring
sets in and before cold weather arrives.
1t is not because men wear tight shoes,
but il seems TO lie freak of nature in
this climate. The rest of the body nsy
be pleasantly warm, but the feet seem
10 bc subject to n heating process that
the loosest or most perfect fitting shoe
can not prevent. Shoemakers observe
that they have more complaint on ac-
count Of shoes made during the two
periods have mentioned than at any
other time during the year. merely
state the fact from my own experience
and observation. and leave it for the
scientist or physician to explain.
Speaking of shoes, I wonder why it 10
that boots have so largely fallen from
the grace Of fashion. Ten years ago
men wore boots. now a shoe store will
not sell two dozen pairs during the win
ter. | am speaking, however, only for
the city. as in the country boots are as
popular as ever. Perhaps there is good
reason for change. Boots are not as
dressy as shoes, and they are not bit
warmer than shoes, for the leather
gives little protection against cold to
the calves. s.-Globe-D Democrat.

Greenoush', Statue of Franklin.

A Boston newspaper man says that
Greenough's statue of Franklin in that
city is worth studying, because it Illus
trates theory for which the sculptor
had the authority Of the great physiog-
nomist, Lavater. 1t is that each OF the
human face represents different phases
of human nature, man being dual ami
NAL, with double set Of cbaracteris-
tics. On one side of the bronze face of
Franklin, Greenough has depicted the ex-
preston of the man Of science who drew
the lightning from the clouds; on the
other be has represented the features Of
the author Of the homely philosophy
embodied in "Poor Richards Almanac.

rhs Ara. Of the Pr,ssds.ts

Those who have held the noblsst posi.
ton known to our form Of government
attained it late in life. Particularly Is
this true of President Harrison, who was
the Oldest of the presidents, being 81
years of age when he was elected. Blu
chanan was 65 when he became chief
magistrate. and next to him, in point of
years was Zachary Taylor, the hero of
Buena Vista, and the eleventh president
of the United States. John Adams,
Washington's successor, was 81, as also
was Andrew Jackson, and both Madison
and Monroe and also John Quincy
Adams were 5S when they attained pres
idential honors. Washington, Jefferson,
and Martin Van Buren, were each 81,
and James X. Polk was AZ. Franklin
Pierce was next to the youngest, being
~ while u. s. Grant was AZ at the time
of his inaugural.
OF the three vice presidents, Tyler,
Fillmore. and Johnson, the former was
81, the latter 50, and Mr.. Fillmore was
80. Hayes was "a, Garfield was 40, Ar
thur was 80, and President Cleveland
was AZ. -Four presidents, Washington,
John Adams. Jefferson, and Madison,
went out of office in their Goth year.
Eleven days after Jackson's retirement
he was 70. John Adams lived longer
than any of the presidents. lie died
July 4, 1926, at the age of 9l. Jefferson
died the same day. and but few hours
later. Madison lived to he Si. John
Quincy Adams to be 81. Van Buren, so,
and Jackson to be 70. Monroe died at
the age of 70, on the 4th of July, 1928.
President Pierce retired from office at
the age of SO. Mr.. Polk at "a. The lat
ter died three months later.
Three Of the presidents, Jefferson,
John Adams and Monroe, died on the
Fourth Of July. The two former at the

THE situation in the county board
is a novel one, and we believe with =
out q precenent. The resignation Of
Col. Bryan, which was rendered Nov.
end. with the view that his successor
might be appointed in time to share
in the arduous duties of the present
session. has not been accepted or de-
clined. Commissioner Anderson
being in favor of accepting it and
commissioner Whitney holding an
opposite view. The resolution offer, d
by Mr.. Anderson yesterday brings the
matter to the official notice # the pro-
bate judge, who is the appointing
power in case of vacancy upon the
board. What steps he will take In
the matter, we are not informed, but
we believe he would be acting en-
tirely within the scope Of his official
duty should he appoint some one else
to fill the vacancy. The law creating
the board of com missioners clearly con.
templates the existance at all times of
three commissioners although business
may be transacted legally by twodur-
ing temporary or forced absence of the
third; but when one of the board, from
reasons sufficient for himself tends his
resignation as "a commissioner and no
good reason Is advanced why his res
ignation should not te accepted. 1t
seems that some authority should ex.
ist and assert itself to prevent the
possibility of dead lock in the affairs
of the county. The JOURNAL urged
at the time Col. Bryan's resignation
was presented, and without any
knowledge that its acceptance would
be contested, that one of the newly
elected commissioners should be ap-
pointed in his stead to afford him al op-
portunity to become partially CONVEX
SAINT with the duties of his office and
We see no reason now to change points
in this matter. II there is any good
reason why Col. BryaD's resignation
should not be accepted the public have
o right to know what that reason is; II
none exists. no personal objection
to public business should be permitted.
II is our belief tn at vacanc, exists
In the board for both commissioners,
Bryan and Anderson, are on record
to this effect. This being 50 it is
clearly within the province Of the pro-
bate judge to proceed to appoint some
one TO fill this vacancy.

THE rejection ofthe credentials of A.
G. Denny, delegate to the trades fed.
Grafton at Columbus, Ohio, created
great deal of indignation among
Pittsburg workingmen, not only be.
cause he was the only accredited dele
gate from this city, but also from the
fact that he was..the representative .oi
one Of the most carefully managed and
powerful trades organizations in the

strued as a deliberate snub OF the

THE TRADE of abuse that is being
showered on the territorial quarantine
system by some Of our western con-
temporaries seems to be misdirected.
The charges are against the quaran.
tine orstock indemurity system but the
specifications invariably recite the
blunders or open neglect of duty on
the part of the veterinarian or his as
sistants. The system is as nearly
right as intelligence without experi-
ence could make it; now that it
has had practical workings for two
years, experience may suggest some
changes but in the main 1t will be
found effective. As regards those
who have been selected to carry out
the details of the system, changes may
be necessary. DIR. Keifer has rarely
been seen in this locality, and when
here did not impress any one with the
idea that he preferred a life on the
range to the comforts of civilization,
or that his knowledge of animal
pathology was such as would keep
him awake o. nights. His assistant,
DIR. Halloway, has madea better i'm.
preston by reason of greater zeal in the
service and a knowledge of the condi.
tion of such herds as were under sus.
picion in this locality. Fire the doc
tors If they have been remiss in th cir
duties but don't condemn the system
or antagonize the legislature.

An Ancient Corean Custom.

An ancient custom prevails in Corea.
Upon high hill in the capital about
dark are lighted four distinct fires.
These are the terminal signal fires of as
many series flashed along the hills of Co
rea from its remote provinces to indicate
that north, south, east and west, within
the realm, all is peace. As soon as these
are kindled the palace bell is rung, and
officials go before the king to transmit
the information thus received. .--Cleve-

HOW TO KEEP EGGS,

Fannie Field, in Ptdirie Farmer, on
how to keep eggs says:
"The best known way to keep
eggs through hot weather, or any
other weather save when one has
the advantage of cold storage, is to
pack them, small end down, in salt.
They may be packed in a nail key,
or in anything else that is clean and
handy, the only requisites being that
the eggs be perfectly fresh, clean,
and do not touch each other or the
sides of the package. Keep them
in the coolest place you have, but
do not turn the package over at all;
the eggs will keep longer if left un-
disturbed. [ have kept eggs thus
packed from the middle of April
until the middle of September in a
cellar where the temperature ranged
from 500 to 60o, and they were good,
every one of them, at the expiration
of that time, And yesterday June
2S) | used eggs that were packed in
salt in a stone jar the middle of last
October. They "wcre not as good
as fresh laid eggs" and we didn't
expect they would be; the whites
were not so thick and firm as those
of the fresh eggs, but the yolks were
in shape and had not stuck to the
shell, and the eggs beat up light,
though of course not as "frothy" as
new laid eggs. That jar of eggs was
kept in a cellar where the tempera-
ture since the eggs were packed has
waltzed all the way from the freez-
ing point up to $50 above the cold
cipher, and it was not turned or
touched from the day when carried
down cellar until yesterday. Last
June l placed two dozen eggs on
end in n of the egg cards used to
hold eggs in the egg crates, and put
them in the cupboard in that same
cellar and they were good in the
middle ofAugust. Chaff, bran, ashes,
sawdust, ETC., are liable to make eggs
taste" especially if the there be any
dampness in the place where the
eggs are kept; and according to my
notion the chaff is about the most
Objectionable packing material that
could be used, for it is liable to give
the eggs a "musty'' flavor that is SO
per cent more disagreeable than a
"piney" taste.

LIGHT BEYOND.
REV. GEORGE w. HOLMAN.

Behold the light is fading,
On distant hills afar,
And soon the deeper shading,
Brings out the evening star.
The fields and woods enshrouded,
Are wrapped in shades of night,
The skies are all o'erclouded,
The world is lost to sight.
Our hope of day returning
When night it's course hath run,
OF morn again uprising,
Rests on that orb, the sun.
So when life's course is ended,
The night of death shall come,
And "dust to dust" is blended,
Within the silent tomb.
Our hope of light supernal,
The bright prophetic day,
Rests on the World eternal,
The Light, the Truth, the Way.

origin, deriving its name from the
village of Dorking. They r good
table fowls, good sitters and layers.
They will care for the chicks a long

for eggs and the table. The legs are
yellow.
The Standard Wyandotte, a beau
tiful and ornamental fowl, which was
formerly known as the American
Seabright, is about the same size as
Brahma fowl. 1t is a large, we'll
proportioned, compactly built fowl
and will "fill the bilr' we'll for the
farmer. They are good table fowls
and egg producers. They mature
quickly, are small eaters for the size
of their bodies and put on flesh more
rapidly than many of the other
breeds. W~yandottes originated from
a cross of the Silver Spangle1 Ham
burg and dark Brahma. They are
easily broken if they want to sit, but
make good mothers if allowed to
incubate. They will stand confine-
ment we'll. Their eggs are of a
good size and buff color. Legs are
yellow and without feathers. Their
wattles and earlobes are red. They
have a small rose comb and hence
are not liable to be injured by frost.
White Wyandotte is a new breed
of fowls claimed to have been origi-
mated by two New York gentlemen,
each claiming first honor. Their
favorites hold them superior to their
laced cousins. They have a pure
white plumage, o comb, red face
and wattles and yellow legs. They
were originated by sports from the
laced variety. Mr.. O. F. Frost, of
Maine: claims to have originated a
breed of White Plymouth Rocks.
AS with the White Wyandottes, their
favorites claim them superior to the
Standard breed. c.. P. p.
