nlsnoslng Of Enrlr Potatoes.

1t is the manne of disposing of a
crop which makes the profit in nearly
all cases, but especially is this true in
regard to early potatoes. TO get the
best price, these must be in the mar
ket as soon as possible; a week will
give one al opportunity Of disposing
of a whole crop before a competitor
can bring in his produce and the
prices fall. New potatoes are easily
damaged; the skin slips readily, and
this spoils their appearances, and of
course their value. The use of a con-
yenient package for the potatoes, in
which they can be handled and car
ried to the consumer, brings them to
him In TIE incest possible shape. Pur-
chasers like to see neat, cftan pack
ages, and are pleased TO know when
they contain full measure. Aaplint
basket makes an excellent package,
but is not economical OF room, and
one basket can not set apon another
without rubbing the potatoes. If the
baskets are made square, with straight
sides, they are better. But a wooden
box is more durable ard convenient.
1t should be sixteen inches long, thir-
teen and one-qnarter inches wide, and
thirteen inches deep; this makes one
heaped bushel when the box Is level
full, containing two thousand seven
hundred and fiity-two cubic inches.
Such boxes lie close together in a
wagon box and no space is lost.

How the suez Canal is Worked.
From the Saturday review

From the Saturday review
''The way in which the canals work
ed from the suez Office is, like many
other ingenious devices, exceedingly
simple. II is asc1ibed to the local
head Of the administration, NJ. Chart
rey, who deserves immense credit both
for the invention itself and for the way
in which it is applied to the traffic.
Against the wall at one side of the
room is a narrow shelf, or platform,
along which runs a groove. At inter
walls this trough or groove has deep
recesses, and at two places these re-
cesses are of larger size. This trough
or groove represents the canal. The
recesses are the sidings. The larger in.
tervals are the Great Bitter Lake and
Lake Timsah. When a vessel has
been signaled and is about to enter
the canal, say at the Suez end, a small
toy boat, or model, three or four
inches long, is chosen torepresent her.
A group of these model ships stands
ready beside the model canal, each
furnished with g flag. About forty
have the English flag, ten or a dozen
the French flag, and so on with other
nationalities. As the steamer comes
up and her name is known, it is writ
ten on paper and placed on the toy
boat. The whole number of ships
thus actually in the canal at any mo-
ment can be seen at a glance; and, as
the Geographic signals give notice,
the toy boats are moved along,
or placed in a siding, or shown ira
versing one of the lakes at full speed.
Signals sent from the Office to the
various cares prescribing the siding
at which each ship must stop to let
another ship meet and pass it. The
official who is on duty keeps the mod.
els moving as he receives notice, TAX
ing care, when perhaps two ships 60.
ing in opposite directions are nearing
the same siding, to give timely warn
ing to the pilots in charge by means
of the signal balls and flags at each
station under his control from the
office, and to direct which of the two
is to tie up and which to proceed.
Barring accidents, the whole rrang
ment goes like clock work, the clerk car
read of in a moment the name, ton,
mage, nationality, draught and actual
situation of every steamer; he can tell
what pilot she has on board, what is
her breath of beam, what rate she is
moving at, and everything else which
has to be known about her; and he is
able without an effort to govern her
movements, to prescribe the place
where she is to get under way in the
morning, although he does not see
her, and probably never saw her in
his life.
""The loss of the Soudan has dimin-
ished the trade of Suez, and in a slight
degree the traffic of the canal, which
has also been affected by the state OF
the market in England, and the long
commercial depression. Nevertheless,
there are often as many as forty
steamers dotted about on different
parts of NJ. Chartrey's model, and the
fees,payable only in specie, are often
enormous. Some of the large Aus
tralian lines of the Peninsular and
Oriental or the Orient service pay as
much as $4,000 In making a single
transit.

Law and LAWYERS

1t cannot be SUPPOSED t~hateyery ana

his country's laws which would male

chronic offenders who, by long exper-
perience, have become as expert IN
cheating the gallows and the iajl
as a regularly ordained counsellor at

Almost every person who attains
years of maturity, sooner or later. has
some cause which can be settled oplv
at the bar of justice, as, for instance
when the matarad person refuses 70

cheek of the criminal lawyer to the
requisite degree of toughness.
At all times the harvest of LAWYERS

Those Pensions.

When the Senate, on July 10, re-
ceived from the President a veto Of
the bill granting a pension to John A.
Turley, Mr.. Stewart, REP, New, who
has given much study to the subject
of the veto power; made a short but
foscible protest against these vetoes.
He declared that the use Of the vote
by Mr.. Cleveland presents alarming
features. 1t is changing the form OF
Government. Washington vetoed on
" 2 bills. jefferson, during his eight
years, vetoed none. john Quincy
Adams vetoed none. Up to 1880 only
S or 10 bills in all had been vetoed:
and up to 1885 only 135 bills in all
had been vetoed by the Presidents,
and only 5 OF the 1913 were pension
bills. Yet in less than three years
President Cleveland has vetoed 200
bills, they being nearly all pension
bills. In all the previous period, too,
Congress had been passing private
pension bills for the heroes Of the
different wars. By his vetoes Presi-
dent Cleveland had, indeed, saved
S24,0 900 a year only.

70 the subsequent issues of the league,
with other names, were those of Dep.
Collector Wilson and DEG. Marshal
Livingston. One oil these issues EN-,
bodied the resolution that the chair,
man OF this meeting appoint a com,
mittee OF one hundred to see that the
ticket is elected" The chairman OF
the meeting was j. B. Harris, then
United States district attorney. The
report finds that the resolution Of the
coiOred men to abstain from voting
vas due to the terrorism inspired
by the actions OF the white league and
OF the committee appointed by it. 1t
quotes District Attorney Harris as
saying that the result of his interview
with the president was his (Harri8')
resignation, which, however, was un-
derstOOd to be voluntary. 1t would
have been becoming, the report con.
tlnues, to a proper administration OF
public affairs, if corresponding action
had been taken IN respect to the other
implicated officers. But no action has
been taken in the case OF Samuel LiV-
ingstOn, who continues to act as q
deputy United States marshal, and
no notice has been taken OF the mis-
conduct of Robert E. Wilson. the
deputy collector OF internal revenue.
LACKING IN APPRECIATION.
The committee can but regard the
continuance OF these men in the Off.
craI positions which they respectively
hold rs evidence Of a want OF right
appreciation OF duty on the part OF
the executive department OF the gov
eminent. II such conduct as the three
officers namedin the resolution OF the
senate directing this inves; legation to
be made be not offensive craftsmanship
OF the most r~eprehensible character,
then 1t would be most difficult to
define what would constitute that
offense. II these public officers are
not to be dismissed from the service,
then will others take courage to do
evil deeds OF whatsoever character
partisan zeal may suggest. The tes.
timony shows that two other persons
engaged in the civil service of the Unit
ed States were active participants in
the proceedings which resulted in the
suppression of the colored vote,-Fitz.
gerald, chief clerk of the railway mail
service for the division in which Jack
son is located, and E.. A. Fitzgerald, a
railway mail clerk. It luther appears

sumo that the president was not in.

He wouldp't Spoil the Dinner.

From the Detroit Free Press.
An old war veteran, who had been
through half a dozen campaigns and
was not very particular about what
he ate, was invited out to q swell din
ner party. He sat almost directly
opposite the hostess, and was pain
fully conscious that every move he
made could be observed by her. Sud-
denly, at the height of the festivities,
the veteran came across acaterpillar
in his salad. A furtive glance at the
hostess disclosed the fact that she
too had discovered the embarrassing
circumstance. 1t was a critical mo-
ment, but the old soldier was equal
to the occasion. Without changing q
muscle he gathered up the caterpillar
with a forkful OF the salad and swal-
lowed BOTH 5ae look OF gratitude
which he received from his hostess a
few minutes later warmed the very
cookies of his hSart. In due time the
story leaked out and when somebody
asked the old campaigner how he
liked caterpillar salad, the reply came
like a hot shot: "Do you take me for

Feeding Chickens for Market.

luch profit is missed by feeding
young chickens too long. The early
broods should now be ready for feed
ing, 1t is better to have them already
led, for then the cockereis will be
ready for sale, and the pullets so far
forward as to be ready to begin laying
early in the fall. But if the chickens
have not been fully fed, the cockerels
should be separated now and the old
cocks turned in with them. AT my
rate the cocks should be separated
from the hens at once. as they are a
worry and a nuisance to the hens, and
more eggs will be laid without them
than with them. Probably no more
hens will set, but as the eggs will be
good for two weeks after the separ-
alton, this may be made at once. They
will bring more now than at any time
later. An excellent feed for them is
corn-meal, mixed with boiling hot
sweet skinned milk. This gives the
flesh a fine flavor and a white and
clear appearance, which adds to the
market value. The feeding should not
be continued over two weeks, and if
the fowls have had all they will eat,
they will be as fat as they can be made.
Longer feeding will not add to their
weight, as it is apt to produce dis
ease.

can scamper around, and pick up a
little extra feed, thrown in from time
to time; or if they are in your barn,
make an opening through which your
pigs can get out to the barn floor, and
root about among the grass seeds. In
either case, it is a good plan to have
small, hinged doors, opening outward
(to the south, if pOssible), which you
can open on sunny days, and let your
pigs out for a u in the open. Keep
them in close confinement, and failure
is certain. You can no more expect to
raise winter pigs successfully, in Il
small stufy pen, than you can hope to
grow ~Jacqueminot roses in your cellar.

under the leadership OF him who we
had hoped would be our standard
bearer in this campaign, we can see
no reason why, if every man in the
