Judge Turney's Salary.

The argument made against Judge
Turney by the Toiler, that he has
beeen in Office twenty one years and
drawn over $4,000 salary from the
State, is not calculated to help Gov.
Buchanan. 1t is creditable to Judge
Turney that he has been able to hold
a high Office twenty-one years, being
50 often reelected to a responsible
place by the people with scarcely no
effort on his part, and is evidence OF
faithful discharge OF duty and
services rendered equivalent to the
salary-a mark of distinction that
any man might be proud of, and it is
not so much compliment to Gov,
Buchanan that the people should be
calling on Judge Turney to relin-
quish the place he holds to succeed
him in an office which he has held
only two years. AS to Judge
Turney's salary, for that length OF
time, we suppose it has been barely a
good living, and many lawyers OF
less ability have laid away that much
money in twenty-one years, indie.
pendent of a livelihood. If Gov.
Buchanan had conducted his office
with the same degree of satisfaction
he would not now find himself so oh.
stinately opposed for denomination,
and might have gone on undisturbed
piling up salary for services worth
the money received.

The voting machine invented by
Mr.. Myers, of Lockport, was put on
test 10 a town election the other day,
and gave perfect satisfaction; 44O
votes were polled without a single
mistake. There were three candi-
dates, the voting was entirely secret,
and the time consumed in voting
was from eight to ten seconds. Only
two inspectors were required, one
acting as doorkeeper of the machine
and the other keeping record OF the
voters. When the election was over
and the box opened, the total vote OF
each candidate was instantly ex-
posed, and in five minutes the result
was transcribed upon the return tally
sheet. This seems to be the thing
the country wants.

THosGH Mid-Armagh, where the
Tory candidate for Parliament, Mr..
Barton, was allowed to have q walk
over, is undoubtedly Tory by good
majority, the Home-Rulers would
have measured their strength there
but for the unfortunate division in
their ranks. The seat was carried by
the Tories in 1885 by 1900 majority.
At subsequent election the Home
Rulers put forward their leader in
Ulster, Mr.. Thomas Dickson, and he
cut down the majority to 1900,
running against a most popular Tory
of liberal ideas. Were the Home
Rulers united now they might be able
to still further reduce the Tory ma
jority, but as they are divided con-
test would only result in an increase
of the Tory majority Mid-Armagh
is one of the thirteen seats which the
Tories can hold in Ulster for many
years to come. They hold sixteen all
told, but three by majorities not ex-
ceeding 100. The Home-Rulers hold
seventeen seats-four of them by
narrow margins.

Catching Terrapin.

south of Cape Henlopen terrapin are
caught in various ways. Dredges

stretched across some narrow arm or
river or bay entangle the feet of any
stray terrapin in their meshes; but 1t

seemed to rise from his boots. What
ever the noise, all the turtles within

will put their heads above water.
Both are welcome and are quickly
sold to marketmen. The snapper
slowly appears and disappears, leav-

him by the tail. The terrapin, on
the contrary, is quick, and will de-

How Insects Breathe.

II we take any moderately large in
sect, say wasp or hornet, we can
see, even with the naked eye, that
series of small, spot-like marks run
ming along the sides of the body.
These apparent spots, which are
eighteen or twenty in number, are, in
fact, the apertures through which air
is admitted into the system, and are
generally formed in such a manner
that no extraneouS matter can by
any possibility find entrance. Some
times they are furnished with a pair
of horny lips, which can be opened or
closed at the will of the insect; in
other cases they are densely fringed
with stiff interlacing bristles, forming
a filter which allows air, and air alone
to pass. But the apparatus, Of whab.
ever character it may be, is always
so wonderfully perfect in its action
that it has been found impossible 20

even so subtle medium as spirits OF

Gated with two large breathing tubes,
which extended through the entire

Most people believe, says a daily
contemporary, that the edible frog is
the only eatable batrachian in Eu-
rope, and that we have not developed
the taste for those creatures for the
simple reason that they are rare in
this country, being confined to GER
tain localities in the Eastern counties.
This is, however, not the case. The
common frog-Rana temporaria-is

greater numbers than Rama esculata;
it is just as good, and easier TO catch,
as we'll as more abundant. Some
thing might be done in recommend
ing this creature as food; 1t Is COM
mon enough not to want preserving.
The two frogs are so much alike that
IL needs a careful examination to dis
tinguish them. In this connection
we may mention that we have more
than once seen frog meat on the

A CRANK is liable to be generally
rational though he may be weak
minded on hobby. AS a rule he
fully appreciates the results Of VIC
lence. Men of this character should
be severely punished for acts of vio
lence. Fear of severe punishment is
a great element in the prevention OF
crime, especially with men of hobbies.
1t is the man whose sanity is totally
wrecked who knows no fear, simply
because he cannot appreciate the re-
suits of crime or OF violence. The
only practical preventive against
cranks is to punish those who resort
to violence with the full extent of the
law that fits the crime for the in
fiuence it has on the brotherhood Of
cranks, and to conflne insane people
in asylums as long as there is the
slightest possibility of their doing
any injury TO society.

LATER details concerning the re.
cent death Of Caroline Beethoven,
the last who bore the great compos-
er's name, confirm the conjecture that
she was the widow of his nephew, Karl,
who caused him so much trouble
while he was living. After his wife
had borne him three daughters the
graceless scoundrel deserted her, leav-
ing her in straitened circumstances.
OF late years she had been supported
by her daughters, who are married,
and by two musicians, who paid her
money yearly on the anniversary OF
the composers death. AS it is re-
ported that Karl Beethoven, when he
ran away, came to this country, it
would be worth the effort for some
antiquarian to trace him out and
find where he went and what he was
doing here.
