Brief History of a Celebrated
American Land Claim.

Brief History of Celebrated
American Land Claim.
The following case was decided
by Chief Justice Ide recently in
Samoa:
The property in dispute consists
of nearly 10000 acres OF land, some
of it very valuable. 1t was origin
ally the property of the Central
Polynesian Land Company, but
ultimately became the property Of
Sadie Clay, wife OF Frederic Clay,
who, in former years, was well
known in San Francisco CONNER
cial circles. Early in 1878 Sadie
Clay assigned her interest to Messrs.
NJ. WelIman, James NeyIon and |.
K. C. Hobbs, in order that it might
be sold and the proceeds applied to
the payment of debts owing by her
husband, who joined in the deed to
Wellman, Neylon, Hobbs, the San
Francisco Cracker Company and
some others, but the trusts of the
deed have never been carried out,
and the trustees Iatterly appeared to
entertain the notion that the lands
were their own property, to be dis
posed OF as they saw fit. 1t seems
that Sadie Clay before assigning the
lands to Wellman, Neylon and
Hobbs had conveyed them to her
husband, who six years later parted
with them to a New Zealander
named Sherwood. The latter sold
to various parties, and these per
sons shared her lands in opposition
to Wellman, Neylon and Hobbs.
The Supreme Court has now decided
that Wellman, NeyIon and Hobbs
hold the lands, but only as trustees

KEROSENE EMULSION.

This formula for kerosene emul.
sion was given by professor in one
of our agricultural colleges some years
ago, and was requested to experiment
with it on greenhouse plants. 1 did
80, with highly satisfactory results,
writes Eben e. Rexford, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. It is made as follows:
Two quarts kerosene, one part slight
ly sour milk. Churn together until a
union OF milk and oil results. When
they unite a white, jelly-like substance
will be secured, which will mix readily
with water. Dilute this jelly with
eighteen or twenty times its quantity
of water, and shower your plants thor
oughly. Soft leaved plants, like be-
gonias, primroses and gloxinias are
frequently injured by it, if applied in
the strength advised above; therefore,
it is well to dilute the application by
using at least thirty parts of water to
one of the jelly.

RICE CRoQUETTEs.

Take half cup of rice, one pint of
milk, two tablespoonfuls OF sugar,
three eggs, little grated lemon peel,
one tablespoonful of melted butter
and a saltspoonful of salt. Soak the
rice three hours in water enough to
cover it. Drain almost dry and pour
in the milk. Stew in one saucepan set
in another of hot water, until the rice
is very tender. Add the sugar, butter
and salt and simmer ten minutes.
Whisk the eggs to a froth and add
cautiously, taking the saucepan from
the fire while you whip them into
the mixture. Return to the stove and
stir while they thicken, not allowing
them to boil. Remove the saucepan
and add the grated lemon peel, then
turn upon well-greased dish to cool.
When cold and stiff, flour your hands
and roll into pear, shaped balls, dip in
beaten egg, then in fine cracker
crumbs and fry in lard. Croquettes
shoull be made some hours before
they are fried. New York World.

(From the Herald, Woodstock, Ta.)
There is an old soldier in Woodstock Va,
who served In the war with Mexico and in
the war Of the rebellion, MIR. Levi McInturH.
He passed through both these wars without
q serious wound. The hardships, however,
told seriously on him, for whom the grip at
tackled him four years ago it nearly killed
him. Who can look upon the inarmities oi
veteran without q feeling OF the deepest

aned to his house so prostrated with great
nervousness that he could not hold knife
and fork at tho table, scarcely able to walk,
too, and as he attempted it. he often stun
blcd and fell. They saw him treated by the
best talent to be had-but still he suffered Oh
tor four years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by the ac-
count of a cure which had beon affected by
the use Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. He i'm.

Ing them. He says he was greatly relieved
within three days time. Tho blood found its
way to his fingers, and his hands, which had
been palsied, assumed natural color, and
he was soon enabled to use his knife aud fork
at the table. He has recovered his strength
to such an extent that he is ablo to chop
wood shock corn and do his regular work
about his home. He now says he can not
only walk to Woodstock, but can walk across
the mountains. lie is able to lift up a fifty

Now, we understand that critic is a
person capable of Judging. so, there
fore, by the power of reas Fing, every
one who is capable Of judging is n
critic; but 1t nevertheless seems strange
that we are satisfied to rest our faith
upon those who not only are unknown,

nito), but without first giving any evil
dence that they are fit and capable
persons to deal with the various sub
jects undertaken by them. To criticise
is to pass Judgment, and, while in mat
ters of law we all know who the partic-
ular Judge is who gives his decisions,
in other matters "an unknown" has the
same duty to perform, not so much con-
cerning life and property certainly,
though it does very often affect indi-
viduals.

that great musicians, in the true sense
of the word, have been in times past
spoken disparaginly against, and their
works have been condemned, though
such works have lived only to show
the shallowness OF the criticism at the
time of their production
To refer to few of these: On the
