OF INTEREST TO NEBRAsKANs.
State MORTGAGES,

The board for the settlement of state
mortgages, consisting of Gov. Thayer,
Auditor Benton and Treasurer Hill, has
completed its labors. The matter under
consideration was Il certain mortgage given
by j. NJ. Young and wife to the state De-
cember q, 1870, on certain lots in the CITY
of Lincoln and land located near the city.
The interest was paid to December ii,
1873, leaving interest due from that time
to the present amounting to S7,977.7 III,
which. added to the original amount of
the loan. makes a total of SO, 977.77 duo
the state. Through tax titles and quit
claims the property came into hollands of
N. s. HARDWOOD and II. G. Oakley, of Lin
coin. In order to quiet the title to the
property they made IL proposition to the
boarl to deed to them, clear of all incum-
%brances, the land. i'll lieu OF which the
state shouldrc lease the mortgage on tho lots
The appraiscment oil the land shows the
same to be worth Sl3. $40, and ueeming it
to be for the best interests of the state
the board accepted the proposition and in
stflcted the treasurer to release the mort
gage. This is one of the old permanent
school fund loans, and in the transaction

Leese's Opinion on .sIirancll Isanks' Meets
Opposition.

Attorney General Leesc's opinion on
branch banks is provoking serious dis
cussion, especially among savings banks
and banks dependent for life upon So
called parent institutions, and the state
banking department is therefore in any
thing but tranquil water. 1t now appears
that when the opinion was submitted the
board as a whole did not take kindly to it,
Auditor Benton thought it needed modi-
fication. Since then tho idea has gone out
that there has been some bitterness be-
tween some of the members of the board,
but this is denied by both the auditor and
state treasurer. Officials of the class of
banks affected by the opinion alternate of
late between their plnces of business and
the state house. seeking. il possible. to Sc

Giving Children Medicine.

''Such a time as l have had to get it to
take its medicine" is a wall with which
mothers are constantly greeting physicians
when their little ones are i'll. And it is GER
tainly the rule with children, ordinarily the
most obedient, when it comes to taking med
icine, however palatable it may be, they
prove uncomfortable unless force is used
The fault is invariably the mothers 1t is
clearly her duty from the first TO exact of
her child absolute obedience, and especially
to insist that it take what is offered it from
spoon or cup. When persuasion will not
avail, the best way to make child take
medicine is this: Press in the cheeks with
the thumb and forefinger of the left hand,
inserting the spoon with the right hand. In
this way fluids may be poured into the
mouth without fear of their being spat out,
or of the child swallowing the wrong way"
The practice of holding children fiat on their
backs, across the knees, forcing the mouth
open, and after pouring in the medicine to
pinch their nose, is a bad one Not only are
they liable to strangle, but there is some
danger of forcing the medicine up the tubs
leading from the throat TO the ear, in which
event a serious inflammation would, most
likely, be set up.-Boston Herald.

A Girls Toilet Articles,

A sensible girl will not keep lotof cosmet-

are a few articles she should always have in
a convenient place. She should have an ar
ray Of glass stopped bottles containing alco-
hol, alum, camphor, borax, ammonia and
glycerine or vaseline. A little camphor and
water may be used as a wash for the mouth
and throat if the breath is not sweet. Pow

vent it from becoming very unsightly and
noticeable. Insect stings or eruptions on the
skin are removed by alcohol A few grains
Of alum in tepid water will relieve people
whose hands perspire very freely. rendering
them unpleasantly moist.
A few drops Of sulphuric acid in the water
are also beneficial for this purpose, and are
also desirable for those whose feet perspire
freely We should always recommend care
in the use of scented soap; in many cases the
perfume is simply a disguise for poor quality
A good glycerine or honey soap is always pre-
ferable. Of course, one may rely on scented
soap from a high class manufacturer, but it
costs more than it is worth In addition to
the soap for bathing, white CASTLE should be
kept for washing the hair Occasionally, a
little bora1 or ammonia may be used for this
purpose, but it is usually too harsh in It's

A Plucky Woman.

Yesterday afternoon young lady en-
| ployed as a domestic at the residence of Jas
per Taylor, in the Belmont Addition, was
| hanging out some clothes on a line in the rear
of the house, when she was suddenly startled
| by the sight of an enormous rattlesnake just
underneath her skirts. The serpent was at
rest in cooled form, with the rattle slightly
erected from the center of the coil 1t was
| not until the lady, realizing her danger,
stepped back few PAGES and threw down
the clothes she was hanging that the reptile
became irrrtated and gave the signal Of dam
ger by vicious shake OF its rattle.
There are few, if any, Of our lady readers
who would not then and there have accepted
the serpent's warning and sought safety in
the house away from the snake so much
dreaded for its deadly venom. But not so
with our heroine. She Immediately grasped
piece of scanthng and prepared to battle
with one of the most formidable reptiles in
existence.
Upon her first approach the enemy darted
from its coil and spread its entire length
toward tho lady, but was short of its deadly
ain. She struck her adversary q stunning
blow with the stick, and was il the act of fol-
lowing the same with another more effective
than the first, when the sudden appearance
of another RATHER rather larger than the one
she was about to dispatch, caused change in
the tactics which she intended pursuing Her
attention was then directed to enemy No 2.
Gathering her skirts close around her form,
the lady made dash at No 2, and was fast
annihilating that reptile when No. 1, having
had resting spell, during which it regained
some of its lost vitality, came to the rescue of
No. q The lady then gave each of the ser
penis alternate blows with her deadly weapon
in quick succession until they both lay dead
at her feet. The fight continued for a space of
ten minutes. TheseTpents were then hung up
on the fence, and by actual measurement No.
l was found to be four and a half feet, while
its companion, No. 2, was five and three-quar-
ters feet in length. The rattles on the end of

Fruit for Children.

The most natural diet for the young, after
the natural milk diet, is fruit and whole
meal bread, with milk and water for drink
The desire for this same mode of sustenance
is often continued into after years, as if the
resort to flesh were a forced and artificial
feeding, which required a long and persist
ent habit to establish its permanency as a
part Of the system of everyday life How
strongly this preference taste for fruit over
animal food prevails is shown by the simple
fact of the retention of these foods in the
mouth. Fruit is retained to be tasted and
relished. Animal food, to use a common
phrase, is bolted. There is a natural desire
to retain the delicious fruit for full mastica-
ton; there is no such DESIRE except in the
trained gourmand, for the retention of ami
