Seeing that the vote was a tie, Mr..

why Mr.. Massey should not cast the

were made, one Of which was that the
vote had not been concluded, and that
nothing else was in order.
This point the Chair sustained.
Mr.. MASSEY.
Mr.. Massey quoted from the Constitu-
ton to show that he, as President OF the
Senate. had right to the casting vote in
all cases where the vote is tie. he
said feeling that he would be called upon
to cast this vote, he had written out the
reasons for taking the course which he
vas about to pursue, and he read the
following:
The Constitution makes each house OF
the General Assembly sole Judge of the

its members. Neither house has any
voice in deciding these questions in the

independent OF the other and neither
one can deprive its successors of their

negatives.

der, ''conceives the design, prepares

in short, supplies the mind; the
builder is merely the bricklayer or the
carpenter. The builder, in fact, is the
machine; the architect the power that
puts the machine together and sets it
going" 30, very we'll, Mr.. Architect,
that will do. And now, after your very
ingenious distinction without differ
ence, perhaps you can inform the court
who was the architect of the Tower of
Babel?" The reply for promptness
and wit is not to be rivaled in the

A SURGICAL MARVEL.
The Marvellous Properties of IodOfol
When Properly Applied.

The Marvellous Properties of IOdOfOrm
When Properly Applied.
A startling advance in surgical
science has been made by Dr. Maxi
milan Klein, a German military sur
geon. The particulars are given by
the professional journal MemOrabiLien.
A man accidentally cut off his left
JOINT. The severed piece remained
hanging to the foot, but the connecting
skin was scarcely thicker than a
thread. Dr. Klein sewed on the frag-
ment, dressed it with iodoform, and
had the satisfaction, in twenty-five
days, of finding the wound healed and
the toe perfectly sound and flexible.
Encouraged by the unexpected result
in this case, DR.. Klein was induced to
apply the same treatment again.
A recruit, in order to disable
himself and so escape from military
service, deliberately cut off his fore-fin-
ger with an axe at the second Joint.
The finger end was lost, and could not
be found until half an hour had
elapsed. 1t was then cold and blue.
Nevertheless, Dr. Klein sewed it to the
stump and applied bandage of iodo-
form gauze. AS early as the second
day it was evident that circulation had
been partially re-established through
out the finger, and in six weeks the
man had not only left hospital, but
was doing the very rifle drill which he
had hoped to shirk. The finger was,
in fact, as serviceable as it had ever
been. These stories read almost like
extracts from the exploits of Baron
Munchhausen. That they are chroni-
cled in MemordbiIien is, however, evil
dence of their truth. English surgeons
will not be so unwilling to credit them
as they would have been in the days
before the discovery of the marvellous
properties Of iodoform. st. James

TRAINING CHILDREN.
The Importance of Installing Into Their
Hearts Right Motives for Action.


While we are making beautiful orna-
ments for our rooms, and lovely pict-
ures to hang on our walls, to delight
the hearts and eyes of our children
and friends, are we trying, also, to
adorn the lives of our children by in
shilling into their hearts and minds
right principles and motives for &C
ton? Let us remember that memory's
hall is a spacious chamber, capable of
containing many pictures, and that
the scenes being enacted, daily and
yearly, before our children's eyes, and
in which they are taking part, are
forming pictures; and, unlike those on
our walls, they are to remain there
through life. If they are not pleas
ing they can not be exchanged or
effaced; so, don't you see how i'm
portant it is that we are very careful
in their formation? How much bet
ter 1t will be in after years, when they
grow UP, to be able to call up pictures
of green meadows, murmuring brook
lets, the delightful woods, filled with
harmless and beautiful creatures, and
fragrant wild flowers, than to remem-
Der these places only as they were
represented to their youthful minds as
the lurking place of something dread
full: toads, worms, bugs, and, as l have
heard children say, wildcats as big
as a cow"
Let us try and teach our children to
be happy and enjoy their childhood
while it lasts. Sympathize with them
and cry to call out all the good and
beautiful in their natures by calling
their attention to some of the thousands
of wonderful and lovely objects all
around them. Tell them of the butter
fly and the changes through which it
must pass before it becomes the gor-
geous creature sailing among the flow
ers, and of the nests of the robin or
brown thrush, with their treasures of
eggs or young birds, to be sought for,
looked at and admired, but not harmed.
Teach them the names of all the trees
and plants, and the different kinds of
birds in their vicinity, with something
of their habits, and they will soon
learn to love the study of nature, and
their minds and hands will be occupied

hitherto the largest on record, by $4,000
bales. the total crop this season is zoe, S33
bales.
THE fire loss OF the year 1887 was divided
as follows: New England 1915 millions

Southern States, 246 millions; Western
States, 1913 millions; Pacific States and

HOME AND FARM.

"A small, soft brush should be used
for cleaning celery and potatoes. 1t
is no trouble to keep one especially for
this purpose, and it will save hands
and time.
TO avoid shrinkage in washing all
wool goods, dissolve sufficient guam
tity of soap in warm water, adding a
little sal-soda to soften it. Wash,
wiring and then rinse in clean, warm
water, using no cold or very hot
water, after which shake well and dry
quickly. Do not rub on soap or use a
washboard. Avoid all patent washing
powders or liquids.
"A good way to prepare eggs for
breakfast is to make a baked omelette.
Take six eggs, three even spoonfuls of
flour, little salt, and beat them well
together; the more it is beaten the
lighter it will be; then add one pint of
hot milk and keep on beating. Have
hot dish with some melted butter the
size of an egg, and put into the oven.
Bake twenty minutes, and eat when it
comes from the oven, for it will fall
soon.
The value of a crop of millet is far
greater than is generally supposed Or
believed. AS forage for all kinds of
stock it comes next to corn. 1t is pre-
ferred before any other kind of hay by
the horses, and is all eaten without
waste. But this crop must be cut early
and cured quickly, and grown thickly,
too, to be worth this. When ripe and
overcured it is not worth any more
than straw.
"A Western shepherd says that the
impression that we must save the best
feed until spring is erroneous. Give
the sheep the best care and grain in
the fall, when he is making his coat
for winter; and then when the cold
weather comes on, he has fat on his
ribs and clothing on his back to keep
him warm without that extra atten-
ton that would be necessary under the
other treatment.
Sweet Picked Apples: Take one
teacup of vinegar and two of sugar,
and make sirup of them, adding Gin
namOn and cloves. Pare and core
sweet apples, drop them in the sirup
and let them cook until tender, not
soft. Put in jar and pour the strip
over them. They are ready to eat as
soon as cold, and will keep any length
of time. l generally tie the spices in
little bag, especially if ground, and
cook it that way.
There is no special skill needed to
grow small fruit successfully. For
raspberries, blackberries, currants and
gooseberries there should be a small
piece of land set apart, but the straw
berries may be grown in the truck
patch. One requisite for successful
strawberry growing is good variety;
and it is difficult to advise in this mat
ter, as what does well in one locality
often fails in another. 1t is sound ad-
vice, however, to say, do not buy high
priced novelties,

MEMORY OF INSECTS.
Northumberland Case Reported by a
Noted Naturalist.

A Observation-Disclosures Case Reported by a
Noted Naturalist.
A valuable contribution to natural
science has been made by Prof Edward
Hoffer, in the discovery of a remark
able power of memory in the humble
bee. The little creature has evidently
a strong sense of locality, comparable
to that of the carrier-pigeon.
The professor removed a nest con-
tanning numerous bumblebees (BombuS
terreStriS) from its original location,
and carried it to his residence, about
three miles distant He further care
fully watched the place for some time,
after having captured all the bees who
had flown to the defense of the nest,
and secured, it was believed, the entire
colony.
These he imprisoned for several
hours in a wide-mouthed bottle, and
safely reunited them in their new
home. At his house he placed the
nest, with its inhabitants, near a WIN
dow, and after the latter had been
quoted, made a small entrance. I'm
mediately the bees began to fly out,
and in doing so must have observed
their surroundings, for in a short time
they one by one returned.
The following night, however, there
was severe storm; and while the in
habitants of other colonies of bees
near it, that had become accustomed
to their surroundings, were not in the
least troubled, these bees escaped and
hid themselves somewhere without
during the storm. Upon searching for
them early the next morning, the
queen was found dead upon the ground,
while fifty or sixty of the workers
were seen flying about the house.
From time to time one or another
probably those which had flown out of
the entrance the day before-found the
opening and returned into the nests;
while the remainder, after flying about
for several hours, gradually disap-
peared till not one was left. As it was
supposed that they had in all prob
ability returned to their previous nest,
the place was visited in the afternoon,
where at least fifty of them were found.
They had thus, it will be seen, dis
tinctly remembered it, and after they
had sought in vain to find entrance to
their new home, they had depended on
their wonderful sense of locality and
returned thither.-C Chicago AdUance.
