Judge Blair decided that "A person who

homestead entry can only be made by one
person, and by Section ,.9S the commuta-
tion of that entry to cash does not enable
him to make another homestead entry.
Any decision to the contrary would be in
direct violation and contempt of the statute,
and if Judge Blair has made the decision
attributed to him it will not be recognized
or respected by this office.

The latest impression is that the
dog which bit other dogs in Ne
wark, and gave a start to the mad
dog scare, was troubled with too
much turpentlne. A strong appli-
cation of the colorless balsam drove
the poor dog into a frenzy and it
snapped at everything which cross
ed its path. The newspapers mag
dified the incidents which followed
and thousands of people stood in
mortal dread of rabies. Urchins
we've sent to Pasteur for treatment
and no check was put upon imagi-
nation. Dogs were slaughtered by
the score and hares were inoculated
in hopes of obtaining a virus which
would ward off hydrophobia. The
calm which succeeded the storm
has been dreadfully monotonous
but it has given timid people time
to recover their senses. The pro-
moters of the lurid sensation have
cause to feel ashamed of themselves.
We would suggest that when next
the wags apply turpentine to a
harmless dog, they also tie tin pan
to his tail to prevent impulsive doc
tors from installing the temporary
frenzy for case of genuine rabies.

The house of the near future, the
B 1ston Journal of Commerce thinks,
will have no fireplace, steam pipes,
chimneys or flues. Wood, coal, oil
and other forms of fuel are about to
disappear altogether in places hav-
ing factories. Gas has become so
cheap that it is already supplant-
ing fuels. A single Jet fairly heats
a small room in cold weather. A
New York artist has produced a
simple design for heating entirely
by gas OF a mere nominal expense.
He filed a brazier with chunks of
colored glass and placed several jets
beneath. The glass soon became
heated sufficiently to thoroughly
warm a room I0x30 feet in size.
This design does away with the ne
cessity for chimneys since there is
no smoke; ventilation may be had
at the window. The heat may be
raised or lowered by simply regu-
lating the flow of gas.
