Adj,ttdnt- General c. &. Alien, Sacramento,
Cdl.-DEAR SIR: Your letter of recent date
with lnclOSure OF a letter from a committee of
veteran members, n. q. c.. propOundIpg GER
tain questions, came duly TO hand.
A State can pass law in either Of two ways
by its representatives In the Legislature or by
It's representatives in constitutional convrn-
ton. The inhibition contained in the ction
noted runs not against the Legislature only,
but against the Stale.
No State shall pass in any way any law i'm
pairing the obligations of contracts. The Ques-
tiOn Is settled beyond controversy by The de-
cisions OF the Supreme Court of this State and
Supreme Court of the United States. "a valid
contract cannot be abfogated by the adoption
OF new Institution any more than IL can by
the enactment OF law by the l. gisaLure."

Section 40 Of the act of OF 1868, statutes of
1S61-6S, 600. which Is substantially the same
as section 1886, Political Code reads as
follows:
.'All officers, noD-commissioned officers, mu-
sfcians and privates OF the National Guard
who shall fully comply with all the military
duties provided in this act shall be entitled to
the following privileges and exemptions, VIZ:
exemption from payment of pO-lax, road tax
and head tax OF every description, exemption
from jury duty and from service on any posse
comiIa;us. All officers, non commissioned Off
GERS, musicians and privates who shall have
faithfully served In the military of this State
Tor the space or seven consecutive wears and
received the certificate of the adjutant- -gr neral
of the State, certifying the same. shall there
after be entitled 10 exemption from further
military and jury service except in time Of
war;"
Those who fully complied with all the mill
tary duties provided In tile act thereby entered
into a contract with the State. which cannot be
impaired by any act OF The Legislature or by
the adoption OF new constitution and the
only question is-what are the terms OF the
contract what does the contracl mean?
i think it means that the members of the
National Guard are entitled to all the exemp-
tions mentioned In the act. while in the service,
and from military and jury duty for all time,

construction. Yours, respectfully,

On the subject of Heaven, Mr.. Read SAID:
THE soul is an entity and must have
a DWELLING place somewhere There Is 10
reason why IL should not have material
dwelling place, since we know that there
are material bodies in Heaven, as, for
instance, Christ. EnoCh, Elijah and Moses.

not only moves around the sun. but tina.
the whole solar system is travelling
through space at an incredible rate OF

that we are moving in the direction OF

at a rate OF g, $4,000 miles year. There
are other solar systems in space moving
likewise. Maedler has shown that the
motion Of all stars is around Alcyone. and
that this fixed star is therefore the centre
of the material heavens. The earth moves
about IL in an orbit of 2O.Ooo.o0O Of years.
Alcyone shines with a light equal u 1900

ROAST BONED TURKEY.
An Old Colonial Dish Which Is Now Out
of Vogue.

A roasted boned turkey is something
one seldom sees in New York in these
days of caterers. In the old colonial days
Il was considered the only way to cook
It., and many Of the descendants OF the
old Dutch families still have it on all
festival occasions. 1t is an expensive lux
ury, but If once INDUCED in you will
never again wish to taste the ordinary
sausage meat stuffed boiled and tasteless
affair which is generally served, says the
New York Herald.
Select a young hen turkey weighing
about ten pounds and have your butcher
bone it, Buy another turkey of lighter
weight and proceed in the following man
ner: Cut off all the white meat from the
frame of the small turkey and the meat
from the thighs, put 1t in a chOpping
bowl with some bread crumbs which have
been soaked in cold water-a half loaf
Of bread will do-add a small onion
some parsley, some sweet marjOram and
two nice, full stalks of celery and two raw
eggs salt and pepper. Chop this up very
fine. Have at hand some strips of boiled
tongue and small slices Of boiled ham.
some truffles and button mushrooms cut
in slices. Stuff the boned turkey with the
contents of the chopping- bowl, now and
tongue and the mushrooms and trufiies.
These give it an attractive appearance
when sliced. Sew the turkey when you
stuff it with fine white cord press it with
your hands into nice shape tie the wings
and skewer the legs and roast in slow
oven until done. Put some butter over
the breast and haste often. In large
stewpan put all the bones from both
turkeys and two calves feet. add a little
onion, carrot and a lemon, sliced, with
seeds taken out. Pour three quarts OF
water over this and let it boil three or
four hours. until reduced to one quart;
skim out the bones. add two raw eggs
with the broken shells. Let II boil fifteen
minutes: dash in a cup Of cold water.
add gill Of sauterne, then strain through
a flannel bag into n mould; set away
into a cold place This Is the Jelly to
serve with the boned turkey.

Tenth Century Oaks in Massachusetts,.

The great oaks at Waverly. Mass. are
surVivals OF ar oak forest that must have
existed i'm that region, according 10 the
biologists and students Of trees, as far
back as the tenth century. They bear
every evidence Of great age. and an elm
tree i'm the neighborhoOd. with its great
limbs lying on the ground. and nearly all
OF it's branches decayed, is the most ven
cradle object in the line of trees that can
probably be displayed in any part of New
England. 1t IS well worth a visit to Wa
verify just to see this venerable elm. 1t
IS immense in size of its trunk and It's
dignity in decay is very impressive. The
dozen oak trees in the neighborhood are
OF the sort that attain a very great age,
unimpaired.
We know of only one other oak tree In
Ner ENGLAND that can be COMPARED with
them. That is located in Ipswich, and is
larger and more venerable, apparently,
than any Of the Waverly oaks. and that
and the Waverly oaks. we are glad to
know, have been inspected by the State
park commissioners, and are likely to
be preserved. 1t is worth ones while to
see and study these majestic oaks They
are seen to great advantage In the win
ter. when the rugged limbs are bare and
their immense strength Is revealed, and
In summer. when they are covered with
foliage, they are objects of wonderful
beauty. The State of Massachusetts has
a duty to enfranchise these trees and
make them public property. They are
the glory OF the State, and almost as
much an object of interest as the old
State House, or the venerable structure
called the Old South Meeting House.
