nLAcK MAY TAKE nAUms r1Aor
lis Name Mentioned for the Office OF Com.
missioner Of Pensions.

! AIS name mentioned Tor the OniCc OF Com
missioner Of Pensions.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-It has been
mentioned in some quarters lately that as
the president did not seem quite pleased
with any Of the candidates for commits
| si0ner Of pensions who had been mentioned
to him it would be taking stroke for hina
| to offer tn. place to such wcll-known
soldier and public man as General Black,
! and chat while the general preferred to be
member Of congress yet the compliment
/ of having the pension office offered to him
again would be SO great chat he might re-
| sign the seat which he has not yet taken
I and accept his old bureau. But the gen
eral said he came hera to represent the
! people Of Illinois in congress- for two yeaIs
I and he intended TO stick 60 that.
General Black took au Illinois delegation
TO see Secretary Lamont yesterday. There
were with him his colleague at law, Judge
Hunter, Newton Matthews and Mr. Nor
gan, of Peoria; j. Hunter, of Knox county,
who was baaten for congress 10y General
Post; A. Ostrander of Galesburg, who il
the only candidate for postmaster in his
town; and A. Frank, of Urbana Mr..
Ostrander had about twenty competitors
shortly after the election, but he got rid OF
them all before coming TO Washington and
appears here as the sole claimant for the
Office, which viii become vacant next
month.
The grace with which Thomas Cooper
got out Of the race for collector Of internal
revenue at Springfield proves to have been
due to the ailureUents Of a more PICTURES
que Office or to the strength shown by Owen
acoty and not the presidents policy regard
ing old JGceho.del5, for lir. Cooper is after
al q candidate for appointment. He turns
E.s back en- beer and whisky and other
subjects Of taxation in his native land and
iNes his gaze on pulque, q liquid refresh
ment which few years ago caused much
disturbance in the American legation in
Mexico Mr. Cooper has concluded that he
would like to be consul general in the City
OF Mexico. 1t was in the interest Of this
ambition That W l.. Newell of Springfield
came to Washington.
Secretary Gresham has told an Idiana
delegate that the Hooser State could not
expect more than three missions and four
consulates, and that as he had got one OF
the five best missions the other two and
cOnsulates were likely to be small ones
Although Illinois is larger state than In
diana, yet as she is credited with the secre-
tary of state, she can not hope for more in
way of foreign appointments than Indiana.
For the four consulates that Indiana gets
there are only six applicants, a fact due to
the great number Of people in Indiana who
hope for something in the foreign service
because they think they are personally solid
with Sec retary Gresham.

In may hSve been respectful to the
people, but it was not wise on the part
Of President Cleveland to deliver his
inaugural with barred head, in the
midst of a storm as pitiless as it was
unpalatable. He is of rugged consti-
tuition, but men as rugged as he have
had fatal results from just such in
discretions. As far as heard from his
health suffered no detriment from the
exposure, but the reverse might have
been the case.

Here is what NJ. Sumner Perkins tells
in The Rural New Yorker about Leg
horns:
"The more acquaintance l have with
the Leghorn the more am inclined to
believe that she is the fowl for business,
for practical work upon the farm. Par
ties in Offering objections to this breed
lay by far too much stress upon the fact
that as a table bird the Leghorn is not
in it, Reasoning in similar way, 1t
might be said that the Jersey cows of no
value, since she is worth little or nothing
for beef, yet Of course no sensible person
will speak thus Of the Jersey, as for the
work for which she is intended she is
without rival. Likewise the Leghorn
has been bred for q specific purpose
viz, the production of eggs-and it is fair
to judge the fowl only from this basis.
'Let those that think so much of sub
stance in a fowl just estimate what a
very small proportion Of the profit on a
hen comes from the sale Of the carcass.
A couple Of dozen eggs will usually rep
resent the entire value of an old hen in
market, and the Leghorn may be count
ed upon to produce at least four dozen
more eggs per year than the SO called
market breeds. So obviously this ques-
ton Of market poultry value is unduly
weighed. If the Leghorn is utilized as
fertilizer only at the close Of her useful
ness, still the breed will come out ahead.
Farmers must have the best laying fowl,
All else is entirely of secondary ma

had such rich blue blood in their veins that
it could only circulate very slowly. They
were so excessively refined, so Bostonese'
that the well springs of human sympathy
were dried up within their bosoms. After
Mrs. Howe had taken tea within this well

crease in the number Of stalks. From
thisit may be judged that small piece
of patato can nourish only one eye, and
increasing the number Of eyes without
increasing the size of the piece of potato
is of no avail The eyes at the seed end
of the potato act as a single eye, and not
as independent ones capable Of produci

ewes. There is more importance in the
size in which the potatoes are cut than
in the number of eyes to the piece. The
tubers should be cut uniformly in about
/. . or Bounce pieces. This may be done
in almost entire disregard to the position
of the eyes. It is uniformity Of size in
the pieces that produces the most uni
form and best crop, according to the
experiments conducted at the Indiana
